Tie present electric plant at Wing - ham 'has cost the town $54,000 and at present there Is a debt of $39,000 on it. It would cost about $40,0.00 to install hydro, but the advantages would be great and we would be hitch- ed up to a system of unlimited. pow- er. Hydro will assume the indebted- ness and then give considerably cheaper power. Mr. James said he would advise the town to keep its water power and thus assist in carry- ing the peak load. He thought the present steam plant should sell for about $3,000, which money would be turned into the fund to install hydro. Light consumers are now paying 10 cents per kilowatt while hydro charges are estimated at '7 cents, Hydra would be a great convenience in the Itonae as Electric washers, vacuum tfactory, toasters, irons, etc, would make the housewife's to°vvhatesomeapeopleeasiel'be- Coutrary lieve; it will snake no difference � the wiring of homes, for at p e the law calls for all homes to be wired according to government speci- fications.

It will he seen at the Town Ball, Wingham on Thursday evening, 'Oct. 2nd. For the first time in the history of mo- tion pictures, Mr. Griffith portrays, in this photoplay, the activities of the leis ure classes of Great Britain, during the world war; their splendid and unselfish labor in caring for convalescent soldiers and their innumerable sacrifices. It shows not merely actus a made up too represent these people, but the people themselves, the very flower of England's finest womanhood engaged in the noble task of succoring the brave sons of Brit ain, France and the allies of all the loyal na- tions, in their time of great suffering and sacrifice, The story of the play deals largely with. the fortunes of a young Canadian, wb enraged by the German atrocities in Bel- guim, enlists in a Canadian regiment and is sent to the front from England. (bile training near London he meets and loves a charming girl, who later falls heir to a vast fortune and thenbecomes the object of the strenuous attentions of a British baronet. This love affair is interupted by nternational complications and the mach- inations of German spies, the whole com- bining to form a" most interesting series of situations, which coupled with the mag- nificent photographs, makes this picture subject one of the most attractive ever, produced by Mr. Griffith.

These includes Henry Amt the' you lie at rest in alien sod, Walthall, Lillian Gish, Robert Harron, and We know that you have died and fought others, all of whose portrayals are essen- tially artistic and lend much to the veris- imilitude of the scenes, That "The Great Love" as a superb picture spectacle, is destined to rank among his best produc- tions, in no sense inferior to his great pic- ture "Hearts of the World", seems a cer- tainity.

Mayor Gurney called on Mr. S Bennett, chairman of the Board of Trade for a few remarks, He stated that Wingliam could never produce power and burn coal at the present prices, therefore we must have hydro. Superintendent Brooks said "We have got to get power from some source. At present cost of coal if costs Wingham $92 per h.p. to pro- duce power on a 10 hour service. Mr. James said that in 1917 there were 178 light users at Seaforth and with hydro in 1.919 there are 341 per- sons using electric lights. Mr. Greer said th.at at the rate of $92 per horse power, for a 10 hour service, it would proba.bly cost $200 for a 24 hour service, and with hydro we are offered a 24 hour service for $40. He felt sure the ratepayers would not stand in their own light by yoting against the hydro bylaw. Kibbon's fbr right and God, Xts Gods' earth now enfolds you friend of mine.
