Majority Of These In Western Ont- ario, Huron Leading the List With Nine. Toronto, Oct. 19 -Another big local option campaign will be fought out at the time of the neat municipal elec. tions in January I913. Voting is, ac- cording to the calendar, likely to take place in over 70 municipalities, com- prising 1 city. 16 towns, 20 villages, and 34 townships. For the moat part, the contests are in, Western Ontario, Huron leading with nine contests. Among the larger places to vote are Peterboro'. Lindsay, Carlton Place, Clinton, Oshawa, Pem- broke, Petrolea and Sarnia Most of these places have voted be. fore, but in a considerable number the question is now before the electors for the fist time. The striking feature of the fight, is the fewness of repeal con- tests. Last year of 178 places where repeal contests were possible, voting only took place in 15, and in one of these the the attempt to repeal was successful. Repeals This Year. This year there are 2.10 possible re- peal contests, but it is not likely that in 10 per , f thesew s r ill the issue be r brought before the electors. Repeal contests, however will be brought on in a number of places. Amongst these being the towns of Gait, Orangeville and Strathroy. The contest will likely be a bot one. and profiting by experience gained in former contests, the forces on either sidebetter organized uized than ever will be g before. re. Liceuse reduction campaigns will al- so be fought ont in Windsor and some other places.

East Huron Teacher's Association The 39th annual convention of the East Huron Teachers washeld in the opera house, Wingham, October' 17th and 18th.' The mooning session opened in due form. In the absence of the President, Mr, Holman. Mr. Field occupied the chair. Programme and 'Resolution Oomnaitteeswere appointed and re- porters drafted. Mayor Spotton opened the afternoon session with a cordial address of wel- come. Mr, Logan, specialist in :Pen- manship of Peterborough Business0ol- lege, was then called upon. He open- ed bis discourse with the utilitarian value of good writing as a source of ex- pression in all the subjects of the cur- riculum. It was shown that the mus- cular movement far surpassed the old detrimental copy -book system in that it is more practical. Mr. Logan demonstrated the proper position of pen and pupil to achieve the best re- sults. With the aid of the board be showed the various steps in the pro- gression from the lowest to the highest grades. The address was followed by an enthusiastic discussion on writing. Mr. Logan is on the teaching staff of Peterborough Normal School and is. thoroughly acquainted with the sub- ject. This was followed by a girls' chorus under the superintendence of Mies Reynolds. The chorus was heartily encored and replied to by a second peformance. This was an excellent demonstration of what may be done by the Tonic Sol Fe system. This was followed byen address by Mr; S. Pickles, who is on the staff of London and Strattord Normal Schools. He first dwelt on the necessity ofMan- ual Training as a liberal education. If we are true to our profession we must develop the child's motor activities which are lying dormant.P Pn ils re• quire a certain stimulus and Manual Training fulfils this requirement.

We repeat that advertising in country newspapers. properly ntiliz- ed. is the most valuable advertising in the world for its cost. We urge advertisers to talte advantage of the opportunities offered by the coun try newspapers. We add, incidentally, that we don't own and never expect to own any country newspaper. A country editor with five, hundred circulation or more for• his daily' or weekly can talk TO FIVE HUNDRED GOOD, TYPICAL AMERICAN FAMILIES, ALL PURCHASERS, ALL DESIRABLE CUcTOMERS. Every publisher of a country newspaper should be, through his advertising columns, the trusted and valued agent and promoter of at least ten great industrial merchandising concerns. The country publisher alone is able through his columnsTO_SL•c'LL F RYTHII�G that is for sale- )JVERYTHING. His readers BUY EVE from nails to pianos, from pills to automobiles. They buy paint and roofing and stoves and lamps -hundreds of commodities that the city dweller never buys. There's not a community in the United States' in any of which ten or even fifty great 'American merchants and manufacturers would not gladly hire athigh pay a competent, earnest representative able to. talk every day to five hundred or, more families. And every business -like, hard-working country publisher IS 517011 AN AGENT, able every day to reach the consumers that nobody else' �an reach. COM THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER IS THE BEST OF ALL ADVERTISING MEDIUMS. • And the publisher's profits should not be less than six dollars an- nualiy for every copy of the paper sold. Little .by little advertisers come to learn the value of the country r,ewspaper and .very rapidly, let us hope, the country editors will come to learn the value of that which, they have for,sale:and will demand and get their share of the national prosperity, acting as nutional,industrial and commercial representatives =' and not merely as the local; mouth pieces of local merchants;.barely able to supporttthemselves. The country editor with a thousand circulation can make' himself worth; to. the commuuityett'least six thousand dollars'a year.: Be can make his paper, EARN that if he chooses to do at: He nand be his own 'Master, not ruled by local merchants or coporations or politics-recog nixing; only his readers c e clients, customers, advisers and equals.
