Legislation
The following announcement was
issued on Saturday last and was read
from many of the pulpits on Sunday.
It was good news to many who have
labored long and faithfully for the
curtailment of the privileges of liquor
manufacturers and sellers:
Ottawa, Dec. 23.—Offibial announce-
ment was made by the Prime Min-
ister on Saturday of the prohibition
of'• the importation of intoxicating
liquors into Canada after 1Eonday

ease of purchases made before that
date. The transportation of intox-
icating
ntoxicating liquor into ang part of Can-
ada where the sale of such liquor is
illegal is prohibited after April. 1st
next, and it is also announced that
the manufacture of such liquor "with-
in Canada" will be prohibited on and
after a date to be determined upon.
Tlie announcement reads :
"On December 17th the people gave
to the Government an unmistakable
mandate for the vigorous prosecution
of the war and. for the employment
of all the country's energies and re-
sources necessary to achieve victory.
It is essential, and indeed vital, for
the efficient conduct of the war that
wasteful or unnecessary expenditure
should be. prohibited, and that all ar-
tides e.apable of being utilized as food
should be censerVed, It is beyond

France's Food
Situation
la a recent statement issued by
Mr, Maurice Long, Minister for Gen-
eral Revletualling of, France, it was
211021n that the 1917 wheat crop of
France was only 39,900,000 hundred-
weights,
r d with 8, 8
weights, as compo e87,830,-
000 in 1913, 70,930,000 in 1914,
00,030,000 in 1915 and 68,410,000 in
1910. . 'Fhe entire production in
France this year of cereals, potatoes
and bent -root was only 222,000,000
hundredweights as against a produc-
tion in 11018 0l 358,000,000. From
this it is evident that with the most
rigorous raticn'ng, France will re-
quire to import during the coming
year not less than 40,000,000 hun-
dredweights of cereals. It lips
chiefly with the North American con-
tinent
ontinent to make up this shortage.
The Food Controller is being given
authority to license dealers in food
supplies, and a general plan of
licensing is being prepared. ISblore
it is applied to any particular trade,
representatives of—that trade will be
consulted.
A sestem of monthly, returns from
all wholesale dealers in fish has been
instituted by the Food Controller and
willbe the basis for regular statis-
tical market information, which is
expected to be beneficial to the fish
trade of the Dominion.
An investigation is being conducted
colder the direction of the Food Con-
troller into the poultry situation. A
study is being made of such questions
as the cost of producing eggs and
Poultry and of the cost of feeding.
The whole subject of the exporta-
tion of milk from Canada to the
United States has been taken up with
the United ' States Food Administra-
tion.

The Price of Your
Local Newspaper
THE cost of living has nearly doubled during the past fifteen years.
Almost everything in common use has risen in price. Your
weekly newspaper has remained a dollar a year without variation
The printers and publishers have not escaped having to pay
the higher cost of living and publishing.
They pay what others pay for the necessities of life,
Even before the war broke out, the old dollar rate was known
t good
be unprofitable. It costs at least $1.50 o produce a
weekly newspaper—this even when it has a good circulation,
and when circulations aro small the $1.50 rate is scarcely
enough.

What we want to do is to let you see for yourself that in the
face of these: things, only one thing is left open to us—it is to
raise the price of The News -Record to $1,50 a year.
