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 Midsummer Bargain in News apers The Wingham Advance • AJJD .

THE WINGHAM ADVANCE 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- 'cient to force the gas to Owen Sound were a pipe line available.

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.

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:,., In which too often they mei th. 4•.d, ' Masons Extend Greeting The invisible line which separates the United States and Canada from one another was shown in a stirring incident during the visit of Most Worshipful Mas- ter !high A.

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.

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:,., In which too often they mei th. 4•.d, ' Masons Extend Greeting The invisible line which separates the United States and Canada from one another was shown in a stirring incident during the visit of Most Worshipful Mas- ter !high A.
