NEW TELEPHONE
BILLING MONTHLY BASIS
From now on, new telephone sub-
scribers will be asked to pay their bills
for both rentals and longdistance,
monthly. Old subscribers will be put
on the monthly basis from July ist.
next. .
"What is the idea of monthly billing
for telephone service?" the New Era
asked Manager C. gumboil of the 13e1I
Telephone Company today.
"There is no great innovation" Mrs.
gumboil answered. 'tin our plan to
bill telephone rentals monthly. Al-
ready the majority of our subscribers,
the users of Long Distance Service, pay
us on the monthly basis, and to add {i
one -twelfth of the annual rental to this 1
regular monthly bill will make little
difference to the average telephone
user.
• In fact, "Mrs. gumboil continued,
"the average business man has become
so accustomed to monthly settlements
that he will he glad to see us fall in
with what has become the settled cus-
tom with electric light and nearly all
kinds of services,
Hence, while the Business nran will
welcome the monthly billing plan be-
cause it fits in with his system, the
smaller householder will appreciate the
fact that instead of paying out three
months telephone rental in advance he
will be asked for only one month; In
the same way the initial outlay for the
new subscriber will be less.
From the Telephone Company's
standpoint, "Mrs. RumboiI concluded,
"while we must be content with small-
er advance payments, yet monthly bill-
ing will make rental adjustments easier
and simplify book-keeping. In short,
we will benefit chiefly because monthly
billing is in the interests of our patrons
alid what is of benefit to them 1.n the
end will rebound to our advantage."

HURON COUNTY
AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY FORMED
Mayor McMurray On the Board of
Directors—Will Meet In Clin.
ton in October—Asked County
Council. For a Larger Grant.
A deputation from the various Ag.
ricultural Societies throughout Huron
waited on the County Council Goder-
lch, on Thursday with the object of
impressing on that body the necessity
of larger grants to Agricultural Societ-
ies. • The deputation met at the Bed-
ford Hotel .where the matter was dis-
cussed prior to assembling in the Coun.
cil 'Chamber, Mr. J. Ellis, of. Blyth
! Agricultural Society, and Mayor Mc-
Murray, of Clinton Society, were se-
lected as spokesmen for the deputation.
Mr. Ellis gave a very concise outline
of Agricultural Societies from their<in-
ceptlon in 1.761 to the present time
and pointed out that as Agricultural
was the basic industry of the County of
Huron and Agricultural Societies being
educative they should be fostered to a
greater extant than they have been in
the past. In way of comparison he
laid before the council the appropria-
tions received in adjacent counties by
Agricultural Societies, as follows:
County - No: Soc Amount
Middlesex . 12 $1,235
Bruce 15 2,535
Perth 7 1,511
Latnbton 10 2,490
Grey 20 5,405
.Waterloo 4 3,243
Kent 9 3,395
Essex 5 1,600
Halton 5 2,400
Peterboro 10 3,745
While Huron County with 10 Societ-
ies received but $250 or $25 for each
Society. He asked the Council to
consider a grant to each Society of at
least $200.
Mayor McMurray, of Clinton, sub-
stantiated what Mr. Ellis had said and
impressed upon the Council the fact
that Agricultural Societies throughout
the County were struggling for exist-
ence and should have more support
Cron: the County.
The Warden advised the deputation
that on Thursday morning a motion
had been put in the minutes to discuss
larger grants to Agricultural Societies
and the mutter would be given con-
sideration-, '
The delegation re -assembled at the
Bedford Hotel and formed what is to
be known as Huron County Agricultur-
al Society, the purpose of which is to
create a more friendly spirit among
the Agricultural Societies of the Coun-
ty—to enable them to confer one
with the other and prevent as far as
possible the over -lapping of dates of
fall fairs, etc. The officers of the
'County Society are as follows:—
President:—J. E. Ellis
Vice -President Mr. McNaughlop.
Secretary:—J. H. R. Elliott
Directors:—McMurray, Clinton;

ais.
"1 ani proud to be your standard bear
er for Liberalism," said the candidate,
"because 1 thunk to -day the world is
turning more Liberal. War and the at-
tendant reconstruction has made things
rather mixed up and to get out of it 1
don't think it should turn any other
way but to Liberalism. When it conies

I will do the best 1 can and ask,you to
do the same and 1 am quite satisfied if
you twill all do that we will carry the
riding."
Mr. Fraser in allowing his name to
stand on the ballot, said; "1 believe in
the U.F.O. platform, 100 per cent but
not in its application, They got tired of
the Conservative party and the U. F.O.
went in to politics, but to -day any UF.

fent government in Ontario, f
"Liberalisnito-day represents a posi-
tion just between the autocratic Con-
servatives and the too radical section of
tine U. F, 0. and 1 think in time the
latter will gradually switch our way."
