Wanted for ZURICH and adjoin- ing country to represent "Canada's Greatest Nurseries" FRIDAY AUG. 7th 1908 With this iss ue THE HERALD en- ters upon another year. The first issue appeared the first week in August 1900, and, thanks to our advertisers and subscribers our weekly is steadily gaining ground and is becoming increasingly popu- lar. THE HERALD'S effort to build up the town and to uphold its good name as a business centre, we be- lieve has borne good fruit, and as in the past, our best efforts will be put forward to advance the inter- ests of Zurich and its people. We wish to thank our many patrons for their support, and if a good word can be said for your local paper, say it. We enter the nineth year with every confideuce of con- tinued prosperity and by your loyal support THE HERALD can be made a still greater influence for the up building of our busy little town, than it has been in the past. W. C. T. U. LIQUOR REVENUES SHOW HEAVY DECLINE. CANADIAN NEWS Ottawa's population by the dire°. tory is 85.332, an Increase of 4,598. The first train 4n the G. T. P, left Winnipeg Tugsday for Battle River. Sharpe's fanatical band of Ada - mites are at Kamsack, and still hold the police at bay. Mrs. Ackerman, of Kenora, beaten with a hammer by an insane boarder named Johnson, will die One hundred and .four children died at Montreal last week, • Two Belleville youths charged with robbing stores were arrested at Niagara Falls. Elliott J. Kimball was committed for trial at Tilbury for shooting William Healey. The vote of the C. P. R. mechan- ics against accepting the award. of the Winnipeg Board was 97.3 per cent. The forest fires started up again in the. Kootenay Valley, and the town of Michel was burned. The C. P. R. are said to be pre- paring to make Montreal the sum- mer port for their Atlantic steam- ers. Carl Lee of Brockville, aged fifteen, was given carbolic acid by his nurse in mistake, and died in a few minutes. Whether because of the growth of the prohibition movement in Canada or the present financial stringency, says a despatch from Ottawa to the Toronto Globe this week, advocates of temperance may regard as significant the fact that the,returns of the Inland Revenue Department for the past six months show there bas been a decided de- crease in the amount of liquor consumed in Canada. For the months of November, 1907, to April 1908, inclusive, the aggregate in- ternal revenue receipts from the liquor traffic show a decrease of nearly $450,000, or over ten per cent. In November the decrease was, in round numbers, $104,000 ; in December, $58.000 ; in January, $30,000 ; in February, $53.000 ; in March, $62.000; and in April $140,- 000. The decrease in the receipts for the last month as compared with April, 1907, was twenty per sent. The decrease in the production and consumption of liquor may, of course, be only temporary, but it is significant that it has taken plane despite a time of rapid growth in the population, and reflects a simi- lar shrinkage in liquor production in the United States, where during the first ninety days of 1908 there was a shrinkage of nearly $25,000,- 000 in the quantity of liquor manu- factured. Of this decrease in manufacture in the States approxi- mately sixty' per cent., or about $14,500.,000,•is whiskey production, and forty per cent„ or $9,880,000, represents the falling off in the beer -making business. No internal revenue figures in forty years have shown such an astonishing decline in the liquor production of the States. The figures above given in re- spect to both Canada and the States may be due to exceptional causes, but it is not improbable that the growth of the temperance movement in both countries, the passing of Local Option by-laws, etc., may have had a large effect in producing such a result. While Business in some lines may be dull, farmers were never more encouraged as regards fruit growing than at the present sea- son. High prices for all classes of fruit have been obtained the past season, and. there is as a con- sequence, an increased demand for nursery stock. Our stock is complete in every department including a new list of specialties which we alone handle. • The right man will obtain a permanent situation with territory reserved for him. Pay weekly.

The «Hecla" Furnace is the only Furnace with Fused Joints. These Joints are made by fusing the steel and cast iron parts together at white heat making an indestructible joint. Fused Joints are permanently airtight. Even after zo years' use they will not work loose or leak. They insure absolute freedom from dust, smoke and gas. The Steel -Ribbed Fire Pot used on the "Hecla" Furnace has three times as much radiating surface as any other style of fire pot. It will save fuel for you, and give you more heat.
