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.

The grofen's gift to the bride was a sunburst of pearls end to the maid of honor an amethyst pendant, to tae flower girl a locket and 'chain, and to the best man a tie pin.

Auswer---YES, he MUST vote ot every question or bes ballot will be. 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. ries New Overland Model From Toronto to Southampton, by Hamilton and Kitchener, a distance of 194 miles, was the course taken Saturday night by F.

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 suburbs to get their news about the latest 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.

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.

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.
