MANY DRIVING PERMITS MAY B Er CANCELLED Probable That Highways Department Will Put Ban on Scores Convicted of Drunk Driving — Many Liquor Permits May also be Revoked — Province to Act Against Thos who are Abusing Liquor Purchas- ing Privilege. Toronto, Nov, 24 --Wholesale can- cellation of Iiquor permits and driv ing permits may follow within the next few days as a result of an al- liance which has been formed he. tween the provincial deny-rtment of highways and the Liquor Control Board for the p'r•op e of ;erring drunh_n driver., and too frequent liquor h t."'.: frnrr. hoth th, liquor stores and the 'L,h • .ys. Announcement nr t.111,4 '-arcate• a, gains., the dm ---,rens dr'nk'r was made over the we. -k end by Hon. George S. H..nry, Mini -der of High mays. It came ars .fl imp -ileum -tine: of the e?,:,ction pledges of Premier Ferguson, reiterated last week by both the Prime Minister and Mr. Henry. that the Government was launching a new and more vigorous offensive against the drunken driver menace, Henceforth the department of high ways will supply to the liquor board a list of all persons whose drivng pep. mite have bean cancelled for driving while intoxicated. Simultaneously the, liquor board will send the high• ways department a list of all persons whose liquor permits have been sus- pended for any reason. Interchange of the present lists will take place early this week, Sir Henry Drayton, liquor board chair- man, stated that the lists were being prepared now. NUMBER NOT KNOWN, How many motorists and liquor permit holders will be affected by this order was not announced. It is believed that about 1,700 motorists have had their driving licenses sus- pended in the past year. It could not be Ieerned how many liquor per- mits have suffered interdiction, but the figure probably 'is as high if not higher than the highways depart- ment's list. The interchange, it was stated, will swell 'both lists to a large extent. Investigation will precede cancel- lation by either branch of the Gov- ernment, it is stated. Mr. Henry did not mention investigation speci- fically in his official statement, but he did not say either that cancella- tion of one permit me:'nt cancella- tion of the other forthwith. His statement read: "The Govern- ment f, -cis that where liquor permits h -t been eaneeled it might also 1:e «rel', able in the interests of hie-li- wat sa fety and as a. deterrent to the in+HridnaI.. eonr.•rned that the oper- ator's license should also he suspend- ed, "In the same way where a person is convicted of driving while intoxi- ratel the Liquor Control Board, un- der this fil.w art:angr-ment, will take whit zw+Inn i= d•'emerl advisable in withdrawing the- privilege Of ow -el -et -log liquor."

SAYS NEWSPAPERS ARE BEST MEDIUM Most Effective Advertising is That Used in Papers Authority Believes Gives Local Color "Moreover, no other medium can take advantage of local conditions and give local color to the adver tiling like the newspapers. Of course, you have competition ; you have competition in everything, Competition is overcome in adver- tising as it is in your store—by ar- rangement, appeal, attractiveness; prices, quality and many other fea- tures. "The prime object of retail ad- vertising is or should be to get peo- ple to come into your store. The question of `selling' them after they I get into the store is up to your sales force, to the arrangement of your store, to the attratcive display of goods may be seen and examin- ed, to the courtesy extended, and to accomodations in the matter of payment. "Let me leave this thought with you : There is no better medium ' for the retail store than the news- paper. It is read, going 'to and cont- ing from business ; it is read at cases it is truthful. It gives yolr home. It is believed, because in most quick turnover, exactly what the retailer must have to make a fair profit for the year and continue in business. . —a (1) Prevent digger and hand.. lintl injuries, (2).

The benefits awarded during October amounted' to $735,736,62, of which 5602814.83 was for com- a pensation and ;$132,921.79 for medical aid. This compares with, I :5707,471.31 benefits awarded dur- 1 ing October a year galls These figures have, according to R. B.

Mum• mery, chief inspector. s The earth travels 1,440 feet a second. The newspaper is "the most ef- (ective medium of advertising," stated Jack Lutz, vice-president of tire Advertising Club of Philadel- phia, in his address to the Busincsh Men's Association of Germantown. Hie subject was "How the Mer- chant May get the Most Out of His Advertising.' 'IVIr. Lutz maintained that the confidence that was in- spired in the readers, plus the great number of possible buyers reached, made newspaper advertising roti lower than any other form. During his talk, he enumerated tem purposes which he said can be realized through newspaper adver- tising. They were, in the opinion of their importance : "To sell neer- standard of living and to "sell" your to inform the public where to buy en article, to educate the public to the use of such articles, to draw new customers into your store, to act as the first step to a sale, to create' and maintain enthusiasm among your sales force, to ,create and maintain good will to raise the chandise, to secure a quick turmover' store as a good place to buy". "Tri my judgment", he continued, "every moment owes It to his bust - news. his community,. hia employees, a well as to hjmetelf, to advertise. 'The enestinn is "where shall 7 ad- vertise " and my answer is 'in the newsnaner," "Thr re is no advertising medium known that will reach as great a number of possible buyers, that will post them a lower cost, that will in. spire in there a greater con'fide-nee, in what they read than the news - miners Not only do figures prove this het the constant use of the newapa'ter and its growing 0180 as art advertising medium by those who figure the costs and returns prove it." ,, 1 THE ROTS AFFECTING STORED POTATOES Investigations carried on by the Division of Botany, Ottawa show that the farmer may lose 17 per tent. of the stored potato crop. 'Phis loss is due chiefly to the ac- tion of tuber' rots, of which the most serious is that caused by late ' blight (the so-called dry rot). 4n fact, so destructive is this rot that in years when late blight is conmon as much as fifty per cent, of the total crop may be destroyed in storage. While late blight rot does not commonly spread from tuber to tuber in the bin, under poor storage conditions this injury paves the way for organisms producing other trots that do spread in stor- age cause heavy losses. The fungus' or mold causing this well known disease attraeks and kills the po- tato tops usually during the late summer. It .spreads rapidly in moist weather, and spores from the dis- eased leaves fall to the ground where they come into contact with Hie tubers and decay follows. Those intending to store the crop thief year would avoid much of this loss by removing all late blight infected tubers. Late blight rotis not the only len- portant storage decay of potato, Other tuber -rotting fungi known as Fusaria are capable of causing en- ormous lasses and they may be no - tree eit the lowest temperature at which potatoes may he safely stor- ed. Fungi of this hind usually lie tome. trouhleecomc after the tubers have been. injured by cuts and burn. Certain forms of Fusarium brnibes, frost and heat and sun-' else cause diseases by attacking the Itrowirtg plant and extending down lo the, tubers. Such diseases are known as wilts and may continue, ,as tuber rots in storage, particular- ly when the temperature is higher than 50 degrees F. Bearing these facts in mind it will he seen that the storage rots be prevented only by a combination of precautions which may be start- ed briefly as follows a ; EXECUTORS' SALE Of Valuable Farm Lands Township of Grey in the of Huron. in the Count y The Executors of the estate of George Johnston; deceased, will of- fer for sale by Public Auction at the American Hotel in the Village of I3russels on Saturday, the 7th day of December, A.
