FEATURE OF THE CONTESTS FOR
NEXT JANUARY IN ONTARIO.
70 Municipalities To Vote On
Option.
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.

Liceuse reduction campaigns will al-
so be fought ont in Windsor and some
other places.

onto, has handed out the following list
of places were contests are definitely
in progress. This list may be Supp'., i head or margin of the paper.

1 ERRY'S PEERLESS PLANERS.
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

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
