of encouraging people to 5hoj) at

their wares at tht' 4111110 .f►riees that
similar products, can be purchased

The "weft" interests 1) t t_wo
battles last week. At Kincardine
there was a vote on the establishing
of to liquor store and a brewers'
warehouse. There was a majority
for both;'proposals, but they failed
to obtain the neeessary threes -fifths
vote. Owen Sound gave the "drys"
a more derisive victory, reeotding
a straight trtajority against the pro-
posal for liquor outlets in the city.
Owen Sound voted out liquor nearly
fifty years ttgo. Anti ainee then hos
voted down efforts on five different
occasiofns to change 'that decision.'

the last straw. It broke the camel's

banker got:
' "I wish to inform you that the
