On that date the 101 Boards in as many districts in the Province will be dissolved, .and the new Board will proceed en its work of orgeni- zation and administration. The date has been ,advisedly chosen, far on May let the new license year begins, and the last ,act of the old Boards will be to issue licenses for the new management. Salaries to be paid the memb-ers of the Board will be as follows: Chairman, $8,580; Vice -Chairman, $6,000; Commissioners, $4,000 each. Mr. 5.. D. Flavelle, Chairman, is a mall -known menc+hantin Lindsay, and brother to Mr. J. W. Flavelle, who is eonn,ected with many indus- trial and finanebal institutions in Toronto. He was born in Peter- borough in 1850 and has been en- gaged in business in Lindsay since 1864. All through his life he has been connected with public under- takings of one oharaaben or an- other. In 1904 he was appointed to the Dominion Grain Surrey Board; is a Counoiilor et the Cana - diem. Manufacturers' Association; Oh.aartman of the Rose Memorial As- sooiabion; and is a generous patron of ,amateur sport, a=nd is one of the most widely known auriers in Can- ada. Mr. W. S. Diungenan, Pipe -Chair- man, is known tihrougihaut Canada as an enterprisingand successful journalese Born in 1858, he aip- proaehed tiro editorial than through the oomposimg room. At different times he has owned' the Strathroy "Despatch," Port Ar- thur "Daily Sentinel," and latter- ly, along with Isis brother, has owned and edited the Stratford "Herald," He has always main- tained a sympathetic attitude to- wards tempedranee. In 1899 he was Presddent of the Canadian Press Association, ,and exercises a wide influence in that assooteticrn, Mr, Frederdyok Dane was born in Belfast, Iraland, in 1881t'aud mane to Canada an 1880. For many yeare Int was a wholesale eroocary Impor- ter in Toronto and had a oonnee- tioei in all parts of the world, Ap- pointed member ,of the Temiskam- ung and Northern Railway Commas-, cion in 1908, he hates became Land Colmsnisaioner,, but resigned to &e - coat the poet of Crl.nadian Contarer- ecCul Agent at Glasgow, Scotland, 13e le a prominent Orangeman and is a Past President of the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society. Mr, George T. Snaith is Mining R.eoordo•r ,at Hiaileybciey, and is in- timately familiar with conditions in bTorbhsun Ontario, He not only understn sdifficulties tae of ad- ministersinta the law in the unorgan- ized districts, but Ibis 'reputation and character will be of great assis- tance in enforcing the 'law in that essmet ry, Mr. John A. Ayearst bas a long record as ae efficient and painstak. ing officer in the Liquor License branch. Through his unrelaxing efforts mach of the irregularities that existed have been stamped out. His work in Ontario drew recogni tion from the Western Provinces, Where he went three years ago, but returned later to bliss province to proseeute with diligencea task' that few were equipped to under- take, One of the first duties of the Board will be to make a survey of the Province, and establish new districts, fewer in number than the 101 that now exist. ' The :appointment of this Provin- odal Commission is the outstanding feature of the new Liquor Lieense Legislation, The Board +has juris- diction over 'the entire Province and will supersede altogether bhe old Boards'. The authority of the Board in the administration of the Liquor Lieense Law shall be su- preme and -absolutely independent of political. control. The Board shall have all the au- thority of the present Liquor Li- cense Commissioners and many additional far-reaching powers. The powers conferred -by the Act upon the new Board are all of a restrictive nature. The Bowels has full authority to. place such further restrictions upon the liquor traffic as it may deem advisable, but it cannot enlarge its prividegers beyond what now ex- ists. Care has been taken in the fram- ing of the legislation ereating the Provincial Board to provide ma- chinery that will enable the Board to administer the law in conformity with public sentiment iu every loeality. ' The law provides that two mem- bers of the Board will form a quo- rum. The purpose of this is to en- able the enemb•ers of the Board to visit every part of the Prevince and to examine into local conditions. The Board must held at least one meeting each year in every county town in the Province, such meeting shall be open to the public - 1. To hear applicants and con- sider applications for licenses. 2. To hear re+pre:sentationsfrom any source in opposition to bhe • granting of any license. 3, To hear representations of any other nature regarding the Liquor License Law or the en- foroe:me:nt of it , 4. Notice of such meetings must be advertised locally for two weeks, and such notice must • contain— (a) The name of the applicant. (b) The db,aracter of the license applied for. (c) A description of the premises sought to be licensed. (d) The total number of existing tavern and shop licenses in eadh municipality in the county. (e) The total number of applica- tions for tavern and shop licenses in each municipality in the county. The extent and far-reaching ef- fect of the new law and the advan- tages that will follow from the ex- haustive powers conferred upon the new Board will readily be appre- ciated when it is understood that bhe new Board may - 1. Subdivide the Province into new leeense chat -nets in such manner ass experience and in- vestigation may show to be. adv:ambageous to the better administration of the 'law. 2. Issue any form of restricted or special license, such as a "beer" license in any locality. 3. May issue licenses at any time of the year for any period of the year. 4. May shorten the house within wawa). liquor may be sold in taverns or shops throughout the Provinee, or in any por- tion, but cannot extend the hours beyond what the law new provides, li• May 'make regulations for im- proved hotel acoornmodation to meet the requireluenes in any loeality and enforce the Blame either by suspension or min -collation of the license, 6. Mae, in its discretion, suspend or •caned a license at any time, 7, May conduct, inquiry into any shatter the Board may deem , neoes'sary and require evi- denee to be given under oath. 8. Mhy supersede the necessity fur a vote on local option by prohibiting the sale or other disposal of liquor in any por- tion• of the Provinoe— (a) For all time, • (b) For any particular day. (c) For any +sipeoial period. (d) To any elase of persons, (e) During any special hours, The new.ldoenee law further pro- vides that all liquor shops through- out the Province shall here -after be closed at seven o'clock p.m. every night, and adds Labor Day to the list of dry days. Intlustriinl Conditions in Germany. The American Association of Commerce a:nd Trade in Berlin has published regularly since November 7, 1914, a weekly report on the gen- eral conditions in Germany clueing the European war. Ito contents may well serve to .offset the exa,g- gerated tales of •eufferine-and fam- ine meportecl .at the beginning of the war; but the picture is en many ways dark enough. There are fig- ures showing the number of union workers now at the front—from bhe metal trade 170,877; from the wood workers 43,877; from ,the factory wo•rker•s• 81,166; from the brewery wonlcer.e 14,900. The writers of t'he report are satisfied because unem- ployment has steadily and notice- ably decreased. They do not con- sider that the state of the families of the enlisted men is even now precarious in the extreme, and that when the men return from the war unemployment stares them in the face. The industrial world will be in no position tb employ large forces of worker's or to pay good salaries, and thousands of men will be idle. `Illie condition of the wo- men at the present time is deplor- able; the majority of the female members of the factory worken•s unarm are said to be oat of work. Economy in production is of coarse felt by the workingmen sooner than by the producers, The amount paid for workmen's insurance has con- siderably decreased and the de- crease is not entirely date to the fact that there are fewer workers. The Association is optimistic in its final statement. We oan draw oar own conclusions. The report says: "In summing up the situation it can be safely estimated that about one-third of the Germain industry is suffering under the war, ons third is able to shift aloug comfortably, while the remaining third is oceu pied to its fullest capacity. The confines between these groups re- mained clearly outlined in the be- ginning, but are gradually growing less distinct as the adaptation to the situation progresses, ,and a more even distribution of work is now taking place; and while tee industries are not gaining in strength they are in no way losing any of their vitality. In eon•elusaon one may say that Germanys indus- try after the war will undoubtedly resume its peaceful activity with undiminislhed vigor." 4. Indeed He Had.

'TRIBUTE ( 11 t17I.SJ1 1111.SS Italy Admires Work .of Raising Arnty, Even by Reverses. The Tribune of Home publishes Lan article from its London eurre- sponclent, Signor (lastone Chiesi, entitled "The Marvels. of British Patriotism: What the Press Hes Dune fur the Ames," in which the following eloquent tribute is paid to the work of British journals and journalists during the war: The very reverses of the allies in France during the first month of wain were ably used by the press to stimulate patriotism and to induce young men to enlist without delay, A consciousness of the national and Imperial .peril that seemed to be imminent was created in the masses. , Having thus received the first impulse, the great patriot- ic movement continued in wonder- ful fashion: One may -terra it aprw- duct of the press; since it was the press that aroused the youth of the country, apparently inert and ape• i esial fhet c, or absorbed in its u sporting ;pleasures; it was the press that cried silence to the working classes complaining of wages or of excessive hours of work; it was the press that threatened the specula- tors and those in seareh of illicit gains ; those who held up food eup- plies, .bhe +shippers who demanded exaggerated rates ler freights, the mining companies which raised the price of coal without reason—the press which brought about the in- tervention of Parliament and of the state in their affairs. Watching, encouraging, warning, the daily .press has not lett the brain of the British citizen a. mo- ment's rest. It has obliged him to think day and night of the war, of its fluctuations, of possible dangers, of incumbent duties and necessary sacrifices. Titus from from the ,bosom of a people eminently pacific, unused to arms, has arisen, as by magic, this first army of a million men now sailing towards France, while in these is- lands another million is growing and maturing ready to replace the first at the right moment. This is the contribution spontane- ously, freely, and patriotically giv- en •bv the 'press 'to the country. Eng- land, perhaps, will never succeed in appreciating at its true value what she awes to her journalism and to her journalists. A Forth Bridge Fabrication. An officer tells of an interesting sidelight on the false dissemination of news in Germany afforded by an incident on a ship conveying pris- oners .after the recent naval battle to Edinburgh. Steaming up the Forth, the bridge came in sight, and attracted the interest and at- tention of the resorted German seamen, who inquired: "What great .structure is that 1" On being informed that it was the celebrated Forth bridge the men expressed their surprise and incredulity, and remarked that that was impossible, as the Forth bridge had been blown up by t'he Germans months ago.

Saul's Intention to Kill David (Verses 1-3), Verse 1, Saul spake-Doubtless in a burst of passion, He hardly gave a deliberate order that David should be ,slain. Jonathan was net sure just how much of his father's desire to kill David. would be car- ried over to a calmer mood. So he tests him out in the morning. 2. In the morning — Jonathan gave his father a thence to sleep over his wild outburst of wrath against David, 3, In the field where thou art— So ,nuc+h .did Jonethan love David that he did not want to trust to his own judgment the ger etteness of his father's intention to do away with David. David was to be pre- sent to hear what Saul had to say and to study his attitude, IL.. Jonathan's Intercession for David (V ryes 4-7), 4. To thee -wand very good — Jonathan eoutd have advised David to flee from, Soul. But in so doing he would have deprived his father of the very best support on the battlefield which he had. Jonathan was considerate of David, But he also was regardful of the interests of ,has father. 6. Put his life in his hand—A fre- quent Old Testament expression (see Judg, 12. 3 and 1 Sam. 28. 21). So also, Sehov.ah wrought a great victory [in Hebrew "salvation"] for ale, Israel—See Judg. 10. 18; 1 Sam. 11. 9, 13. 8, Saul sware-17nti+er the influ- ence of Jonathan's appeal But he was not sincere in his expncrsbun of desire not to kill David, as the events soon ebowed. 7. As beforetime — For a long time, doubtless, David was safe in Saels presence. III. Saul Overcoe by an EEvilSpirit (Verzesm8-12). 8, A great slaughtervicl's great victory which sa sial, Ssu1 from destruction was the ca"•nse of the new outburst of Saul's un- quenchable hatred of David, 9. An evil spirit—See 1 Sami. 16. 14. The result of Sail's jealousy was an unholy brooding wtich drove hint to ate of madness. Saul's jealousy did not'iaave its origin in David. David, it will be remem- bered, was brought to Saul for the purpose of dispelling his distem- per. Had David not -come across his path, Sail's jealous spirit would have been kindled to red - heat by some one. else.

In the morning—Saul was not so much erased es to be bereft of all his .wit, ".He imagined that David would go ,tome to has wife. He knew that to seek itim out there would rouse the townspeople, who would T•a dy to the protection of their favorite' hero. Saul, there- fore, would wait until the morntine, when David happened to leave his house, before making any ettaek on him, As Pse, 59 shows, Neal was in danger not from Saul only, but from Ruffiwns in Soul's employ. 19.
