tion and distribution of hydro and the by-
law to grant exemption of taxes and free

ing and finally passed. .

of the fact that a couple of town men had
paid expenses amounting to $57.60 for

ions were paid by several citizens amount-
ing to $37.50, leaving a balance 'still owing
of $20.00. This was paid on motion of
Couns, Mitchell and Angus.
The subscriptions collected to pay for
the watches presented to the soldiers, do
not pay much over $1000 and the council

Does Advertising Pay.
The last issue of The Hardware and
Metal, a trade journal issued in the in-
terests of the hardware trade, contained
a lengthy write-up on the up to -date
hardware store conducted by A. 3. Ross
& Son. It lays great stress on the
business appearance of the store and the
bright window displays which work in
conjunction with the interesting adver-
tisements which appear weekly fa Tun
Anwarca Great credit is due to the
junior partner who is a live wire and
wide awake to the berrents of advertising.
/go advertisement is allowed to be pub-
lished a second time and as we said before
his window displays follow up the adver-
tising. 10 18 very 'seldom that a magazine
like The Hardware and Metal gives so
much space to the write-up of a country
store as they have eaven to the Ross

Judges Acted Correctly
In the report of the West Wawanosh
School fair held at St Heleps reference
wag made to the decision of the judges in
Baby Competition. Now; I wish to state
in behalf of the three young ladies who so
kindly acted as judges that they were not
influenced by any pereon and nerformed
their duties in an impartial and independ
ent manner. It is quite natural that each
mother would consider her baby entitled
to first prize but the judges had no per-
ference for any particular mother or baby.

Drury On Prohibition
"If called to power one of our first ad-
ministrative duties must be fearlessly and
effect;vely to enforce the will of the peop e
as expressed in the recent prohibition ref-
erendum. With that mandate I am per-
sonally in thorough accord and sympathy.;
We must see to it that it has effective en -1
forcement. It may be that it will be
found that there are loopholes or defects
in the law which render it difficult to en-
force. If so it will be our duty to correct !
them."
Keep Up The Whistling
Editor Advance
Dear Sir: -
As it is not generally known that the
"Victory Loan ads" are written by ad
writers for the Canadian Press Asst. the
writer feels he would like to state that he
does not approve of one phrase in the ad.
which appeared over my name in last
weeks' issue of your paper.
The part referred to is as follows,
"Don't go whistling down the street"
This to the writer appears to be very
bad doctrine, and I have noticed with re-
gret that during, and since the war, our
boys in particular have almost lost the
art of "whistling" and seeing that whist-
ling is evidence of a happy frame of mind
rnSeadvise would be the very opposite to
that contained in the ad, which appeared
in my advertising space of last week's
paper.

own townspeople: stumbling falling pick-
ing themselves up, trying with some de.
feats and some difficulties to attain to
their high ideals.

riotism and valor, Sons of Liberity.
