TO PREVENT UNEMPLOYMENT
Next year will b e well advanced before
Canada's main expenditures for war, can
be completed. Every dollar that can be
raised for the Victory loan 1919 will be
required.
Although hostilities ceased in 1918 the
war expenses went on.
This is just as much a war year as last
Year was, as far as the money is concern-
ech Press* liabilities incurred by the
war and involving vast sums of money
have to be cared for. The simplest and
most profitable manner in which this can
be done is for the people to provide the
money themselves.
The Victory loan 1919 is entitled to just
as much consideration as was given to
its predecessors. Is is tip to every loyal.
Canadian to do its utmost to make the
new loan an overwhelming success. The
continuance .of tne prosperity of tne na-
tion is wholly dependent upon it.
It •was naturally to be expected that
trade depression in the Dominion would
have followed the armistice but this was
averted by thee application of a large prol
portion of the last Victory loan as credits
to Great 13ritain and our Allies for grain,
dairy produce, fish lumber and ships.
These credits were absolutely necessary.
and strictly good business. They must
be continued. Ther are national re -in-
vestments The delta will be paid even-
tually and in the meantime industrial
and agricultural workers will be kept in
busy and lucrative employment. '

spoiled. The eiet distinctly states,
eectiou 2, eub-oection 3, 'Every voter
shall vote on every oue of the said
questione, otherwise liis entire ballot
shall be void and shall be rejected."
Q. --What would be the effete. of
the various possible votings?
A.—Question J.: It a majority of
the voters voting vote "YES," tlie On
taria Temperance Act ellen be re.
peeled and the old Liquor LiettIlSe
Act, Just as it existed: in 1916, will be
revived as if The Ontario Temperauce
Aet had not been passed. 1u ev-
planting what a "YES" vote to Ques-
tion 1 mean% Peeraier Hearst said:
"In that omit there would be no
necessity for further consideration of
the' other questioos, ter the greater
would include tile less, and liquor
would be sold in bars and shops as
In years gone by."
If a majority vote "NO," the result
will depend upon the answers given
to Questions 2, 3 and 4.
Question 2: If a majority vote
"YES," intoxicating beer Omit be
sold by sales agents, established by
the Board of License Commissioners
of Ontario. Two evils would reeult:
(1) The promiscuous sale of an in-
toxicating beverage; (2) government
ownership, and thus the partnex.ship
of eveey citizen in the booze business.
If a majority vote "NO" the peo-
ple declare againet this form of liq-
uor selling,
Question 3: If a ImaJority vote
"YES" licenses may be issued by the
Board of Liceuse Commissioners,
authorizing the sale a intoxicating
beer in standard hotels in any muni-
cipality wherein a, majority of the
voters shaei have voted "YES" to
this question at this election, and
only in such muoicipalities.
If a majority vete "NO," the elec-
tors declare tor keeping our standard hotelsfree from booze end bars, and
for maintaining the improved condi-
tions that have obtained in the hotels
of Ontario under prohibition.
Question 4: If •a majority vote
"YES" liquor of all kinds shala be
Sold by sales agendies, estaiilisked by
the Board of License Celaraissioners,
for consumption in homes only.
If a majority vote "NO" tae electors
declare against such sale, and for
maintaining the purity of Ontario
homes.
Question—How should electors
vote who favor retaining the Ontario
Temnce peraAct?
Answer—They must mark their
ballot vvith a cross. (X) in the "NO"
column, opposite each and every ques-
tion.
Q.—What constitutes a spOiled bal-
lot?
A.—Any mark but a single cross
(X) in the proper compartment will
spoil a ballot. To write "No" or
"Yes" or to signea name, or make any
other mark, spoils the ballot and it is
not counted, even though it should in-
dicate the intention of the voter.
Q.—What constitutes a temperance
victory?
A.—For the teraperanee forces to
win, they must secure four "NO" ma-
jorities. That is, a majority for "NO"
one every question. The temperance
forces will be defeated if there is a
majority for 'YES" on any one of the
questions.

From Toronto to Southampton, by
Hamilton and Kitchener, a distance of
194 miles, was the course taken Saturday
night by F. M Bethee, of the Willys-
Overland Company, who made 11 18 re-
cord time. As high as 52 miles an hour
was marked up and his total running time
was 6 hours and 10 minutes, as compared
witheight hours, the best he had pre-
viously done at night over this route,
The car used was one of the new light
fours. Mr. Bethune was anxious to try
it for himself as to its riding qualities, so
made the return trip by different roads
He came back via Goderich and London,
the total trip being 464 in ires, He found
the "three-point springs" all that was
claimed for them he had experienced so
much comfort that he was at the Exhi-
bition early Labor Day, keener than ever
over the Overland four. Mr. •Bethure
reports the roads between Toronto and
Southampton in fair conditio.
HONEST ADMINISTRATION
Hoe. Dr. Cody, Minister of Education,
in an address at Weston on Saturday clos-
ed his remarks with the following forceful
etatements which should make any reason -
jig elector think before marking his bal.
'ot on Oct. 20th. "We have learned in
this great test the duties of citizenship as
well as the privileges of citizenship. We
are facing new times with faith and cour-
age. The Government has been a faith-
ful administrator of the affairs of this
Provincfe in the past, it asks for the:fair,
catidictjudgment of all intelligent citizens.
It has nothing to fear from that. It has
nothing to hide It stands foutesquare
upon it efforts and its achievements.
But it realizes as well that never were
greater problems before any people than
confront the peoples of the world to -day
problems in the realm of industry, con)
mercer (Mance, problems in the realms of
education and politica."
"No matter what the problem may be
our people will be the better able to solve
that problem as they are moral, intern -
gent arid strong. To make and keep our
people moraleintelligent and strong is the
great Aim of government in any commun
ity. It has an aim, not, 1 trust, in some
large measure unrealized by the Govern-
ment of this Province "I haven't the
slightest doubt of the action of the people
on a matter which meats the moral uplift
of the community. 1 am absolutely ture
eo•daY, as 1 shall be absolutely stare after
the voting is over. 1 believe that the
people will give judgment that this Gov -

A !mai doctor, who got ten gallons of
• whiskey shipped to him by the noon trellis
states that by night no less than a dozen
parties applied to him for booze. As a
demonstration of how the word passes
around this is a valuable sample, and
shows that something akin to an organiz-
ed secret service exists right in our midst.
It has been said that a man has to go into
the country to find out what's happening
in town, but it's safe to eay that certain
element here don't need to hike te the

movements of John Barleycorn: Right
here under their prominent nose this in.
formation reaches them so rapidly by
wirelesa that the wine jugs are hardly out
of the box car when their ears are filled
with glad tidings of great joy. The doc-
tor on the oecassion turned them all down,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Editur av the Advance,
Deer Sur,
I thot that rnebby I shud put ye wi
to a few tings wid regard to the pollytic
situwation at the prisint toirne, becaw
what wid the Fall Fair and the Referrind
im on yer hands, there is a danger tha
the Grits may get the shtart av us ogi
and my Quid kind, Jawn Joint be elicte
to slitay at home. Ye can't trusht thi
Grits, luk how they put it over us b
getting another gud (rind Se moine Misb
ter Targe Shpotton to run and Jettin
Billy Fresher get in by a majority tha
was a dishgrace to North Huron
Mebby ye heard that 1 jined the be
nightecl farrmers lasht shpring well, I wil
tell ye how it happened, a Daher of moine
who is e4erit perswacled me into it. H
carnet eer to my place wan day pertindi
he welted to ask me what koind av oat
1 intinded to use for sade. We tawhe
about the weather, the 'pace confererc
at Paris, and the proice av hawgs, till w
got around to the subject av the benight
ed fermiers I said I didn't think much av
the shame for I wanted to allways fa'
free to go to Wingham wid awl my shmal
truck and shwap it off to Tommy King
arr Allen Mills for grosheries and so fort
"That's awl roight," he says, "but d
ye remimber the firsht sirkriss we iver
wint to whin we were byis," siz he, "ye
moind we got shtarted playing a game
wid a feller in front av the Quane's Hod,'
he sez 'and lost awl our bit av money be.
fore we had been an hour in town, av
course we hated to go home thin so we
follied the persession and the crowd down
to the sirkiss grounds, and shtood around
wonderin how we cud bate our way into
the big tints. Pretty. soon a feller came
along and asked us if we wanted, to earn
a dollar. He said, "he wid give us 50cts
aitch if we wud carry a few pails av wat-
her for the ellifunts," ye moind, Tim, how
we carried wather in the hot sun and four
big wooden buckets for nearly two hours
and thin the feller who was to give us the
money disappeared, and we heard that
the show was awl over We both felt
pretty chape and there was Tom McLane
and George Carr, and the Locaridge byes
and some more haythens from Lower
Town shtandin and laffin at us. So Tim
"sez my naber" us farrmers hey been just
loike us two fools at the sirkiss, we have
been carryin wather for the Grit and
Tory ellifunts all our loives and never got
a tickit into the big tint yit. Its toime
for us to shtapd up for our, rights, "he
sez, "arr the firsht ting we know we will
all be back at our ould job av grown
whate at 'sivinty sints a bushel, and hawgs
at six sints a pound, and payin the divils
own proice for tobaccy," he sez.
Well this sounded loike reasonable talk
to me, and as I sed before, rwas perswad-
ed into jinin the benighted farrmers'
lodge, 1,11 not say there isn't some good
tings about it nayther. We are savin ten
sints on ivery 100 pound bag av shugar we
bye, and I got a new plow for twinty
sivin sints less than Tam Bennett wanted
to charrge me. Them implemint lads
naelp watchin. Well as I sed the bizzy-
nessend av it is awl roight, but we made
a mishtake whin we wint into pollyticks
Mishter Prockter may be a shmart bye,
but when the farrmers go to the polls
they will not tink av that, but will vote
Grit and Toty the same as ever. An'
shmall blame to the Tories ayther, for
the Grits intind doing it anyway.
Now Mishter Editur, this is a long lett-
er for a ould farmer loihe me to wroite
afther bein et a trashin awl day since
sivin in the mamin, but I tink I will slape
hetther now that I have oe it out of my
sishtem and knowin that you Tories in
Wingharn will now be wise to the game av
the Grit farrmers, Let ivery Tory shtick
to the mild parthy an vote for my frind
lawn Joint, thin awl the Grit shames will
turn to dust an ashes in their hands, as
that poet sez
As soon as the trashin masheen moves
over to other line I tivant to go to Wing -
ham to spake to you proivately. I tink
you can help me. It is my turn to be re-
turning officer, but another teller is tryin
to bate me out av it.
Wid best wishes for our parthy and

A flood end Useful Bug
The Hanover Post prints the following;
A new bug has appeared in Hanover, po.'`'
tato patches which is killing the potato
bug in much the same way as a spider
kills a fly, This new bug has a flat back
like a beetle and larger than the ordinary
potato bug. The bug kills the potato
bug. with a sort of spear which he car-
ries doubled up underneath his stomach
when not using it in attack. The new
bug does not appear to harm the potato
leaf and in local patches it is not unusual
to see little piles of potato bugs lying
dead on the ground where the new bug has
been at work, May the numbers of that
new bug increase.
