Ontario is now facing one of the greatest campaigns in its history, namely the Temperance campaign. We have been looking torward to this privilege of having it for a long tine, Now that it is about here we want it to succeed with an o'serwehelmi'ng majority for the benefit of our ccountr:y. Should this act remain in force it wilt not only affect those in this province but will be an inspiration to every- one throughout the country. No doubt but ;that it will seen' hard for those who have become abdictecl to the use of liquor, but 'but to .therm it will be of the gr- eatest help. It has so weakened their minds that they are unable to resiet the temptation and if .not made impossible for them to get any of -this deadly poison, as much it has been proved to be, it will ruin many homes as we ha se seen examples in this community where the fathers has taken all the earnings of the household to the bar for "booze", not even leavings .:hough to, far from properly,feed and cloth his wife and children, thus bz aging more sadness and eutferiing to them than to himself, Row often we hear and read of drunkards coming home and kil- ling thee- wives and children even putting them to a death of tor- ture. Att. he sante time his poi- son is Initialled; an early death to themselves Again. it would be worse than over 'before if the free srt! of this liaiuor came back.

Victo BEFORE buying Victory Bonds again you may want to' know how Canada used the money you loaned her last year. Canada borrowed the money to carry on the war and to pro-. vide credits for Great Britain and our Allies. CONSIDERABLY more than one-half of the Victory Loan 1918 was spent on our soldiers. This included $312,900,00Q, for paying them, feeding them, bringing them home, separation allowances to their dependents, maintenance of medical services and vocational training schools. $59,000,000 of the Victory Loan 1918 was paid on account of authorized Soldiers gratuities. $9,000,000 was spent at Halifax for relief and reconstruction after the disaster. Other disbursements were not, strictly speaking, expendi- tures, but National Re -investments. To Great Britain for example: $173,500,000 was loaned for the purchase of our wheat and cereals. $9,000,000 for our fish. $30,000,000 for other Foodstuffs. $2,900,000 for Canadian built ships. hq. $5,500,0S9,to pay other British obligations in Canada. Making an i 220,900,000 advanced to Great Britain. To our Allies, we ' loaned $8,200,000 for the purchase of Canadian foodstuffs, raw material and manufactured products. The Re -investments will be paid back to Canada in due time, with interest. These credits were absolutely necessary to secure the orders for Canada because cash purchases were impossible. They have had the effect of tremendously helping agricul- tural and industrial workers to tide over the depression that would have followed the Armistice, had we not made these credit loans. As far as money is concerned, 1919 has been, and is still— just as much ar'war year as 1918. Our main expenditures for war cannot be completed until well on into 1920. Thus another Victory Loan is necessary—Get ready to buy.

F. 0 in Politics (Walkerton Telescope) The attitute of the farmer's ,,_ ganization has been made the sub-•- ject of much comment and some 'criticism by the press, The chief basis of complaint is that the far- mers are advoeatiinge class legis- lation, and that they are not -con- siderate siderate of the interests of the large army of city, town and vil- lage dwellers, The farmers feel, and rightly :Feel, that farming is. the baste industry of the country, and that in the past they have be- en tot often exploited by the pole iticians and the big interests. It should form an organization which. would be big enough and power- ful :enough to look after their int-- erests, and it was a splendid mage.. But some of the leaders of the U. P. 0. seem to be very extreme and.; (near -.sighted, and by their attitude are doing the U,P:O. harm and lo.siing for it the hearty co--oper=• atio&r of thousands; of sympathiz- ees, The farmers are not the. only people who have been exp'-. oited, The common people of the, towns and cities have felt the pinch of the, profiteer and the privilege hunter just as • much. as; the farmer But the U. F. 0.lead-- ers would let no one who isnot a farmer and a U. F' 0. man sit in. parliament. This viblates one of the fundamental principals of the democratic idea. And' it is no more. likely to succeed in the end' than bolshevism or kairerism. A-, gain, we notice in reports of spe- eches by the U.F.O. leaders that they claim their policy is to sup-- port up_port and buuild up small towns. And indeed everyone should rec- ognize that it is vitally important to the farmers that the small towns prosper. Yet e very week the or- gan ot the farmers comes out with a big spread advertisement urging• all loyal members of the U.F.O. to buy their supplies by mail orders from the big "'Co-operative Store, at Toronto. If this co-operative store succeeds its influence on the rural communities will be just as 'baneful as that of the two big departmental stores of Torontd. This is just a sample of what U: F. 0. leadership is Gibing. If the United Farmers' candidates meet with much success in the coming election in Ontario --and the in- dicatio'ns are that they will --it will leave thousands of citizens who: ars just as honest in their in- tentionst owards good governm- elnt as the U..1'. 0. without renres entation, .There are nianv inter- ests ;le th'e country. and that leg- islat.ioln will serve it best which will take nroner cognizance of the rights of all -the farmer. the lali- or:.nom. mon. the soldier• the capit- arst, alnd the merchant.
