Do you share in it ? * w • $600 is said to be the price paid by the recent Manitoba Government for electric lighting a hog pen at the Ex- perimental Farm. The fellow who the one not contract was hatthe who squealed. He was too busy with his nose in the trough. * * * THURSDAY of last week Perth Coun- ty, Stratford not included, carried the Canada Temperance Act by a tidy majority of about 200. Every town and village gave a majority, which is a pug in the nose to the old rant that sobriety kills business. The Act will come into force on May 1st 1916. Huron, Perth and Peel Counties are now lined up in the "dry" column and the ce folic, backed byb the T em gran Temperance hearty co-operation of the officials, should see to it that the law is thor- oughly enforced and that those who attempt to transgress with impunity will pay for their defiance. It le no kindness to allow the liquor traffic a free hand and the wise folk if they put their ear to the ground may hear something along this line that may save them future regrets. License Inspectors Torrance, Clinton and. Mitchell, Wingham, now have Huron County under their wing and will do their duty.
