A good flow of gas was struck by
the drillers at Hepworth on Tuesday
of last Week, after operations occu-
pying twenty-four days. The new
well is six inches in diameter and
1415 feet in depth. The new well is
only 900feet west of the old wells
sunk sixteen years ago, and there is
only about three feet difference in
the dei th. The main diiilcutly with
the o1d wells was that there was salt
water flowing into them, but there is
[none in the new hole. The Hep-
worth people are naturally jubilant,
(says the Owen Sound Sun. The dis.
covery places them within easy reach
of a great supply of fuel, which in
!these days of coal scarcity, is a mat-
ter of no small importance, But is
Is not only Hepworth that is inter-
ested. Owen Sound has been watch-
ing the operations, hopeful that a
sufficient quantity could be procured
to warrant a pipe line to that town,
thereby affording some relief to the
fuel situation, The discovery at

Hepworth is of 'the utmost import -
ante to Owen Sound, Shallow Lake,
Wiarton and other points.
There are hundreds of wells in
Southern Ontario not nearly so val-
uable and which have been yielding
for years. But more, than anything
else, it proves that gas in paying
quantities exists in this field.
The company will proceed with
another well at once. The discovery
so far is such as would indicate the
presence of large quantities of gas in
the district and drilling will start
again in a location not far distant.
It is understood that tlie company
has quite a stretch of land under lease
and it is their intention to fully dev-
elop the field.
It is the intention to supply the
village of Hepworth, but this will
not be undertalten until fall . For
the present the company will confine
itself to drilling new wells. The pres-
sure of 450 lbs. is more than sufli-

My fat old form is writing in heat that

song of joy and peace; I'm groaning
smoking phrases the censor says are
wroeg; •the day is hot as blaies, and
seems a fortnight long, And this is what
I yearned for some Six brief months ago!
It's what my bosom burned for, when we
had wholesome snow! The sun grows hot
and hotter, it blisters and it tans; I drink
three kegs of water, and wear out palm
leaf fans; a redhot wind is blowing, from
some baked, parboiled shore, the perspira-
tion's flowing, I leak at every pore. And
this is what I sighed for, when winter
was on deck! It's what I wailed and
cried for, until I strained my neck! 1
cussed, from A to Izzard the winds that
used to blow, the stimulating blizzard,
the sweet refreshing snow! Because my
ears were frosted, I talked like one gone
daft; the language I exhausted, denounc-
ing winter's graft. The worms and bugs
confound me, the chiggers give me pain;
the flies are buzzing round rue, I swear at
them in vain. It is too hot for reading, it
is too hot to write; a blizzard's what I'm
needing, and may it come tonight. The
sun all clay is feting my head with
chunks of heat, I feel my Vetere melting
and running down my feet. And this la

Social Reconstruction
Coming in Great Britain
As Result of Great War
�f�N�•I�NfOf�N N N: M� �N�N�NIM�N N.� �ff�f f'N�N�
HE welding of classes which
has taken place in the Brit-
i5h army in the trenches
has been such as could
never bavo been accomplished in any
other way, and the bope for the fu-
ture of Britain lies in the possible
extent to which this can be carried
into social reconstruction.
This was the opinion expressed
the (Abet day by the Archbishop of
yorlt, now visiting Cann anti the
United States,
"The first and immediate neces-
aity," saki the archbishop, "is of
course to conquer the Germans. But
we are beginning to realize that this
Is only a part of the problem which
the time has net before us; that, hav-
ing conquered the Germans, we must
conquer ourselves. The Labor parLy,
which is developing with growing
success the unification of the efforts
of workers with the brain and with
the hand, is working toward the cou-
dltton when the industries will ne
controlled by the workers themselves,
and this is only part of the great
changes in the social and industrial
scheme In Britain which are sure to
come. It is quite safe to say that all
our older families, all the landed
aristocracy, are quite eonse1Qua
of the fact that things can
never be again as they were before
the war; and they are most willing;
to face the changes that must come.
"So far as I have been able to
observe there is this great difference
in the effect which the war has had
so far on public opinion in England
and America. We all feel in Eng-
land
n„land that the war has compelled tis
to reconsider in a very wide and deep
way the whole character of our so-
cial system, The thought of social
reconstruction is -only less oou-
stantly in, the minds of the people
than the Immediate progress of the
war itself. We all feel that the war
came to us at a time when --we were
all becoming conscious that our social
system was revealing very deep de-
fects, and our great trust is that the
spirit of common fellowship which
the war has called out may be trans-
muted after .the war into an impulse
toward wider_. social reconstruction,
carried through in the same spirit of
common fellowship and sacrifice,
"Certainly our soldiers at the
front feel this. They seem to re-
spond readily and with enthusiasm
to the prospect that they will return
home to take a place in the building
up of a new and better social system.
Indeed, this is coming to fill a larger
place in the consciousness of most
people than the appeals for solidness
and enthusiasm, in the war.
"The main itlipulse for this re-
shaping of our society will come
from the great labor organizations,
but nothing is more striking than
the way in which the employers
frankly recognize that they must be
prepared to look at the new situa-
tion in a new spirit. The first defi-
nite proposal for economic recgn-
structlon 'with the authority df the
Government was the setting up of
joint industrial. councils for all the
great industries, in which represen-
tatives of the workmen will meet_
representatives of the employers ou
equal terms for the settlement of all
matters connected with the conduct
of the industry. This plan so far has
been carried out with real good -will
by the best of the employers and the
best of the leaders of labor.
"The Labor party's manifesto na-
turally and rightly points out the full
demands of labor in a reasonable
way, and represents the tendency to-
ward which the movement will be
directed. But beyond question there
are in the full program many fea-
tures which could not be carried out
at once without dislocating industry
The real problem, however, is that
employers must recognize the neces-
sity of giving to the workmen a larg-
er share of the product of the indus-
try and a greater share of control
of the management of the industry,
"On the other hand, the employ-
ers feel, and the best of the workmen
feel, that this must be balanced by
a greater output of productive energy
on the part of the workers. So far as
I can judge, the output per man
seems to be greater in moat indus-
tries in America than it is in Eng-
land. We have been hampered by
trades union regulations which have
been made—in all good faith, to be
sure --in, the attempt to obtain a high
average wage, but which the best
workmen feel to be based on an im-
perfect knowledge of the facts of
economics. So the alteration of these
regulations1 alsoh
s apart of the prob-
lem.; there must be a larger share
for labor both in the reward and in
the management of industry, and
there must be larger productivity.
"One One of the greatest tragedies of
the war has been the great loss of
the young men of the old families,
the old governing class — men who
embodied our greatest promise, who
were inspired by our highest ideals
of national service, were among the
first to be killed. But the tradition
they have tett, the example they have
given, will remain and will have pro-
found effect in the public schools and
universities which gave them to the
nation. And not there alone. There
has been a spirit of delightful and
trustful comradeship of all classes
in the war. It has brought all Social
groups together.
"But a very great deal depend.a on
the decisiveness of our victory in the
war. If, after all the sacrifices that
have been made, the result Is !neon,.
elusive, it will have a profoundly de-
pressing effect upon the spirit In
which all classes approach the future.
Such an outcome of the war would
render more likely the outbreak of
bitterness, of party spirit, of class
antagonism. A patched -up peace
would leave everybody sore arid
querulous, disappointed, and with a
strong tendency to meet, the new
conditions to the spirit of antat uui:,.,

JULY HEAT
My fat old form is writing in heat that
does not cease, and I'm no longer lilting a •
song of joy and peace; I'm groaning
smoking phrases the censor says are
wroeg; •the day is hot as blaies, and
seems a fortnight long, And this is what
I yearned for some Six brief months ago!
It's what my bosom burned for, when we
had wholesome snow! The sun grows hot
and hotter, it blisters and it tans; I drink
three kegs of water, and wear out palm
leaf fans; a redhot wind is blowing, from
some baked, parboiled shore, the perspira-
tion's flowing, I leak at every pore. And
this is what I sighed for, when winter
was on deck! It's what I wailed and
cried for, until I strained my neck! 1
cussed, from A to Izzard the winds that
used to blow, the stimulating blizzard,
the sweet refreshing snow! Because my
ears were frosted, I talked like one gone
daft; the language I exhausted, denounc-
ing winter's graft. The worms and bugs
confound me, the chiggers give me pain;
the flies are buzzing round rue, I swear at
them in vain. It is too hot for reading, it
is too hot to write; a blizzard's what I'm
needing, and may it come tonight. The
sun all clay is feting my head with
chunks of heat, I feel my Vetere melting
and running down my feet. And this la

Social Reconstruction
Coming in Great Britain
As Result of Great War
�f�N�•I�NfOf�N N N: M� �N�N�NIM�N N.� �ff�f f'N�N�
HE welding of classes which
has taken place in the Brit-
i5h army in the trenches
has been such as could
never bavo been accomplished in any
other way, and the bope for the fu-
ture of Britain lies in the possible
extent to which this can be carried
into social reconstruction.
This was the opinion expressed
the (Abet day by the Archbishop of
yorlt, now visiting Cann anti the
United States,
"The first and immediate neces-
aity," saki the archbishop, "is of
course to conquer the Germans. But
we are beginning to realize that this
Is only a part of the problem which
the time has net before us; that, hav-
ing conquered the Germans, we must
conquer ourselves. The Labor parLy,
which is developing with growing
success the unification of the efforts
of workers with the brain and with
the hand, is working toward the cou-
dltton when the industries will ne
controlled by the workers themselves,
and this is only part of the great
changes in the social and industrial
scheme In Britain which are sure to
come. It is quite safe to say that all
our older families, all the landed
aristocracy, are quite eonse1Qua
of the fact that things can
never be again as they were before
the war; and they are most willing;
to face the changes that must come.
"So far as I have been able to
observe there is this great difference
in the effect which the war has had
so far on public opinion in England
and America. We all feel in Eng-
land
n„land that the war has compelled tis
to reconsider in a very wide and deep
way the whole character of our so-
cial system, The thought of social
reconstruction is -only less oou-
stantly in, the minds of the people
than the Immediate progress of the
war itself. We all feel that the war
came to us at a time when --we were
all becoming conscious that our social
system was revealing very deep de-
fects, and our great trust is that the
spirit of common fellowship which
the war has called out may be trans-
muted after .the war into an impulse
toward wider_. social reconstruction,
carried through in the same spirit of
common fellowship and sacrifice,
"Certainly our soldiers at the
front feel this. They seem to re-
spond readily and with enthusiasm
to the prospect that they will return
home to take a place in the building
up of a new and better social system.
Indeed, this is coming to fill a larger
place in the consciousness of most
people than the appeals for solidness
and enthusiasm, in the war.
"The main itlipulse for this re-
shaping of our society will come
from the great labor organizations,
but nothing is more striking than
the way in which the employers
frankly recognize that they must be
prepared to look at the new situa-
tion in a new spirit. The first defi-
nite proposal for economic recgn-
structlon 'with the authority df the
Government was the setting up of
joint industrial. councils for all the
great industries, in which represen-
tatives of the workmen will meet_
representatives of the employers ou
equal terms for the settlement of all
matters connected with the conduct
of the industry. This plan so far has
been carried out with real good -will
by the best of the employers and the
best of the leaders of labor.
"The Labor party's manifesto na-
turally and rightly points out the full
demands of labor in a reasonable
way, and represents the tendency to-
ward which the movement will be
directed. But beyond question there
are in the full program many fea-
tures which could not be carried out
at once without dislocating industry
The real problem, however, is that
employers must recognize the neces-
sity of giving to the workmen a larg-
er share of the product of the indus-
try and a greater share of control
of the management of the industry,
"On the other hand, the employ-
ers feel, and the best of the workmen
feel, that this must be balanced by
a greater output of productive energy
on the part of the workers. So far as
I can judge, the output per man
seems to be greater in moat indus-
tries in America than it is in Eng-
land. We have been hampered by
trades union regulations which have
been made—in all good faith, to be
sure --in, the attempt to obtain a high
average wage, but which the best
workmen feel to be based on an im-
perfect knowledge of the facts of
economics. So the alteration of these
regulations1 alsoh
s apart of the prob-
lem.; there must be a larger share
for labor both in the reward and in
the management of industry, and
there must be larger productivity.
"One One of the greatest tragedies of
the war has been the great loss of
the young men of the old families,
the old governing class — men who
embodied our greatest promise, who
were inspired by our highest ideals
of national service, were among the
first to be killed. But the tradition
they have tett, the example they have
given, will remain and will have pro-
found effect in the public schools and
universities which gave them to the
nation. And not there alone. There
has been a spirit of delightful and
trustful comradeship of all classes
in the war. It has brought all Social
groups together.
"But a very great deal depend.a on
the decisiveness of our victory in the
war. If, after all the sacrifices that
have been made, the result Is !neon,.
elusive, it will have a profoundly de-
pressing effect upon the spirit In
which all classes approach the future.
Such an outcome of the war would
render more likely the outbreak of
bitterness, of party spirit, of class
antagonism. A patched -up peace
would leave everybody sore arid
querulous, disappointed, and with a
strong tendency to meet, the new
conditions to the spirit of antat uui:,.,
