For her the far -away "bar- gain" holds no attraction. With every dollar having to be spent to best ad- vantage she must trade safelyand so she deals with the local merchants where she is assured of consistently good quality merchandise at fair prices. The local merchant's above- board method of holding his trade through good tines and bad involves the highest ethics of merchandising He is a fellow citizen of the cent. snunity and has a day-by-day imput- ation ok fair dealing- to maintain. Every item he sells must give reas- onable satisfaction if his good stand- ing is to continue and consequently he is the fashionable housewife's answer toan important 'question she has had to ask herself: "Where can I be sure of sound value for the Cooney I have to spend," The merchandising methods of the local merchant, while not spectacular, are hes assurance against disappointment and some- times deception. In the light of his confidence the fashionable housewife trades at home, leisurely and accord- ing to plan. She derives 'an added measure of satisfaction in the know- ledge that het house buying creates new community wealth, It is the fashion of housewives to shop where they are assured of honest values in their day-by-day buying.. A 17 -YEAR-OLD TOAD When' the old frost casing at the water tower was removed theother day, a toad was found built into the structure near the top outside the water pipe., When removed it jump ed to the gr•oslnd below, and was very mach alive. It is 17 years since the casing was constructed at the instal- lation of the waterworks system, and there seems every reason to believe that it was only during the construe- tion. that the• toad could have gotten into the place ih which it was found. :Acton Free Press. gremlin.

Some Brief Notes on the Canada Temperance Act NO.2 THE REASON FOR ITS REVIVAL Provisions for municipal local op- tion, which had become a part of the Municipal Act but had somehow been dropped, were' in. the early nineties revived and incorporated into the Liquor License Act of Ontario. They provided for prohibition of retail sale in taverns and shops in villages, town, cities and townships. Being part of the License Act, there was no question as to responsibility for en- forcement. The law which became operative on 0 simple majority was popular and was widely utilized in Ontario. Sir James Whitney, whose enforce- ment of the law was particularly vigorous, early in his regime intro- duced the 'requirement of a. sixty per cent, majority vote which greatly re- tarded the progress of the local op- tion movement. In the years 1914 and 1915, several counties in Ontario, having carried restriction of sale by municipal local option as far as seemed possible with the sixty per cent. handicap, found the persistent sale in municipalities remaining under license a nuisance and such a menace to the success of the local option law that to clean up so far as possible a wider area and protect their own people they revert- ed to the county measure, the Canada Temperance Act. This did not de- stroy the existence of local option, or the various provisions of the Lic- ense law. Tts only effect on that law was in regard to prosecution for. sale. It paralleled these provisions in the provincial Act and in so far as it did so, took precedence over them. The two laws operated concurrently, charges for sale being laid under the Canada Temperance Act and other charges undo' the Liquor License Law. The dual operation of the pro- vincial and Dominion law was con- tinued .uicler the Ontario Temperance Act till the time of the suspension which occurred about 1920. Morris Township Residents Follow Hunt for Oil Residents of the first concession of Morris Township are interested in the results of the oil drilling on the territory 'leased in and around Clinton. If there is , any indication towards oil , shown, they will press for thesyndicate, which has their farms Ieased, to drill at once. For many years there has been a cosnnson belief that oil might be found in the land bordering along the Maitland rider. About 10 years ago between 4,000 and 5,000 acres of land was leased by a United States syndicate, and they promised to drill at once. Dd.- :Realties cropped up and they 'were prevented from continuing. Last year a resident of Brussels Ieahed the land once more with the avowed indications of drilling as soon as possible. All, preparations were made,•but so far work has not com- menced. PRICES IN YUKON How would you like to live in the Yukon? Miss A. H.

For her the far -away "bar- gain" holds no attraction. With every dollar having to be spent to best ad- vantage she must trade safelyand so she deals with the local merchants where she is assured of consistently good quality merchandise at fair prices. The local merchant's above- board method of holding his trade through good tines and bad involves the highest ethics of merchandising He is a fellow citizen of the cent. snunity and has a day-by-day imput- ation ok fair dealing- to maintain. Every item he sells must give reas- onable satisfaction if his good stand- ing is to continue and consequently he is the fashionable housewife's answer toan important 'question she has had to ask herself: "Where can I be sure of sound value for the Cooney I have to spend," The merchandising methods of the local merchant, while not spectacular, are hes assurance against disappointment and some- times deception. In the light of his confidence the fashionable housewife trades at home, leisurely and accord- ing to plan. She derives 'an added measure of satisfaction in the know- ledge that het house buying creates new community wealth, It is the fashion of housewives to shop where they are assured of honest values in their day-by-day buying.. A 17 -YEAR-OLD TOAD When' the old frost casing at the water tower was removed theother day, a toad was found built into the structure near the top outside the water pipe., When removed it jump ed to the gr•oslnd below, and was very mach alive. It is 17 years since the casing was constructed at the instal- lation of the waterworks system, and there seems every reason to believe that it was only during the construe- tion. that the• toad could have gotten into the place ih which it was found. :Acton Free Press. gremlin.

Some Brief Notes on the Canada Temperance Act NO.2 THE REASON FOR ITS REVIVAL Provisions for municipal local op- tion, which had become a part of the Municipal Act but had somehow been dropped, were' in. the early nineties revived and incorporated into the Liquor License Act of Ontario. They provided for prohibition of retail sale in taverns and shops in villages, town, cities and townships. Being part of the License Act, there was no question as to responsibility for en- forcement. The law which became operative on 0 simple majority was popular and was widely utilized in Ontario. Sir James Whitney, whose enforce- ment of the law was particularly vigorous, early in his regime intro- duced the 'requirement of a. sixty per cent, majority vote which greatly re- tarded the progress of the local op- tion movement. In the years 1914 and 1915, several counties in Ontario, having carried restriction of sale by municipal local option as far as seemed possible with the sixty per cent. handicap, found the persistent sale in municipalities remaining under license a nuisance and such a menace to the success of the local option law that to clean up so far as possible a wider area and protect their own people they revert- ed to the county measure, the Canada Temperance Act. This did not de- stroy the existence of local option, or the various provisions of the Lic- ense law. Tts only effect on that law was in regard to prosecution for. sale. It paralleled these provisions in the provincial Act and in so far as it did so, took precedence over them. The two laws operated concurrently, charges for sale being laid under the Canada Temperance Act and other charges undo' the Liquor License Law. The dual operation of the pro- vincial and Dominion law was con- tinued .uicler the Ontario Temperance Act till the time of the suspension which occurred about 1920. Morris Township Residents Follow Hunt for Oil Residents of the first concession of Morris Township are interested in the results of the oil drilling on the territory 'leased in and around Clinton. If there is , any indication towards oil , shown, they will press for thesyndicate, which has their farms Ieased, to drill at once. For many years there has been a cosnnson belief that oil might be found in the land bordering along the Maitland rider. About 10 years ago between 4,000 and 5,000 acres of land was leased by a United States syndicate, and they promised to drill at once. Dd.- :Realties cropped up and they 'were prevented from continuing. Last year a resident of Brussels Ieahed the land once more with the avowed indications of drilling as soon as possible. All, preparations were made,•but so far work has not com- menced. PRICES IN YUKON How would you like to live in the Yukon? Miss A. H.
