The Clinton News Record, 1919-4-17, Page 5April 17th, I919 Clinton News -Record) Of lnteilest to. You and M e be t n ate •oasked The Germans t. t k e Go 1 h t_ Versailles to sign the Peace Treaty <on April 25th. Negotiations there) .1ir0 oxpeeted to be short, • • Tomorrow is GoodFriday and s ltbliday (Iio1y Day) and Sunday Is Laster ,Sunday, the Christian's most .gladsome festival, not excepting .Christmas. Champ Clark, speaker of the House, •of Representatives in the UuitedStat- es, is just as much of . a "chump„ as .aver, according to reports of his lat- nest speeehes, The women of Chicago, they say, %voted against prohibition, Well, we .have our own opinion about those Chicago women and they wouldn'$G ,be flattered if they know it, either, . • s In Ontario there is an automobile 'for every twenty-two inhabitants, That explains why wo so seldom get .a `'lift." Most cars ..just liold five comfortably, the other seventeen of us have to walk. The law of supply and demand is -all right, wo are not asking for a repeal of that law, All we ask is ;that the Cold Storage Companies be .made to put their surplus stocks of .butter on the market. Then if there's a shortage we'll have to put up with it. "Its the easiest thing in the world 'to be a low tariff man when in 0P- -position," says the Ottawa Journal. It is the easiest thing in the world lo sit on the fence and tell other people how they ought to do things. The test of your ability is to jump right into the middle of the ring and proceed to do them successfully your- • self. The simplest way for prohibition- ists to make known their wishes to the Government when they come to vote upon the temperance ballot mill be for then to vote a straight "NO" . •opposite every one of the following lour questions : ,,, -.(.1) Are you in favor of the repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act? (2) Are you in favor of the sale of light beer containing not more than 2 51-100 percent. alcohol weight measure through Govern- ment agencies, and amendments to the. Ontario Temperance Act -to permit such sale ? (3) Are you in favor of ,the sale of light beer containing not more than 2 51-100 percent, alcohol weightmeasure in standard hotels -1n local municipalities that by majority vote favor such sale, -and amendments to the Ontario Temperance Act to permit such -sale ? (1) Are you in favor of the sale of spirituous and malt ,liquors -through Governinent agencies, and -amendments to the Ontario Tem- • perance Act to permit such ,sale ? Those not in favor of prohibition 'will probably vote "YES" opposite eaoh gyestioti, or, which would prop, ably be more oonsistant, will Vote "yea" In the first instance and "eo" all thea • f course' if t la others, as o o is f la 1 Ontario Temperance Aot fa repealed we go Oink to the License Act and the sale of all kinds of liquor, One thing must be borne in 'mind, each question inn6't be voted, on or your ballot is spoiled, It has been conceded by many not formerly in favor of prohibition that the O.T.A. has been a gpod thing for the country. And many are of the opinion that if it was a good thing as a war measure it ought to be all .right as a peace measure as well. Thousands of people in the province will vote a straight "NO" when the ballot is confronting: them with the idea of giving prohibition a fair trial. Some fault has been found with the enforcement of the O.T.A. But en - !emollient will become inorcasingly easy as time goes on. One of the factors contributing to the difficulty of enforcement is the large stocks of liquor which manufacturers have • on hand and which they are anxious to sell. This difficulty will grow leas as tine es i o on and the enforcement g of the law will become. relatively easy. The license system had a long trial in Ontario and nobody will say it was such a great success, except as a money maker for those who manufac- tured or dealt in liquor. Give pro- hibition as long and as fair a trial and sec what that will do for us. Goderich=Detroit Excursion We have just been advised that the big steel steamer Greyhound of the White Star Line will leave Goderieh with the annual Detroit excursion, Tuesday, June 1?th, at 9.30 a.m. ar- riving Detroit 5.15 p.m. Returning, -will leave Detroit Thursday, June 19th, 1.00 p.m. The fare will be only $2.25 for the round trip and $1.75 one way.

'.Fv':ltt'.:�..�€rr'f.:c.`L, HYDRO MAKES HOUSEWORK LIGHTER THELE is no servant problem in the electri- cal home, for electricity is the most willing, tireless and economical servant that a housewife can employ. Electricity takes the drudgery out of the housework. Instantly available when wanted, Electricity is as obedient and responsive to a woman who touches a tiny button in the home as to a man who throws a monster . switch in a factory. An )electric Washer cleans clothes quickly without back- breaking work ; an Electric Iron permits continuous iron.. ing and saves expensive, needed fuel i an Elective Vacuum Cleaner is a vast improvement over the broom, and an Electric Sewing Machine is a wonderful conveni- ence, An "Electric Home" is easily kept epic anti span with plenty of time left for other duties. The low cost of Hydro Power makes it econor„ical to use, HYDRO Quality Lamps are tested in t)ic laboratories of the Hydro -Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario. They give their f nitrated lighting tower at a definitely J known currant consumption. Their durability is assured.
