Immediate Hydro Services Is
Bright; By -Laws Within 30'
Days.
Seventeen municipalities of rude
and
Huron had representatives at Wing
ham last week at a meeting at which
engineers of the Ontario Hydro -Elect-
ric Power Commission announced the
rate each town and village will have
to pay for power delivered over the
proposed transmission on lines from
Eugenia Faris. The construction of
the lines was declared to be a possi-
bility before winter, and in order that
the quickest action might be taken the
.delegates resolved to urge the passing
of enabling by-laws by the respective
smunicipalities with 3o days.
If construction is delayed now it
r --
would be better to postpone it definite-
ly till April, the engineers advised, and
if lines were commenced then the dis-
trict could be using hydro by early
summer,
The Power Rates.
The following rates were quoted for
the 'various municipalities to be served
by the proposed lines:
Port Elgin, $45; Mildmay, $52; Rip-
ley, $88; Wingham, $40; Brussels, $81;
Gorrie, $66; Southampton, $43; For-
mosa, $61; Kincardine, $48; Belgrave,
$70; Bluevale, $80; Fordwich, $80;
Walkerton, $35; Lucknow, $68; Tees -
water $46; Blyth, $78; Wroxeter, $70.1
Engineers James and Flint answered
scores of questions from the'repres-1
entatives. The former showed the
proposed route of the power line from
Hanover. At a point near Teeswater

south to Wingham, Another branch*

Source of Power.
The present plant at Eugenia de-
velops 8,000 horsepower, but the com-
pletion of another dam eight n files up
the river will mean probably that much
snore. This will also supply a reserve
of power whets needed.
When the delegates were told that it
was quite possible to have power
service by next summer, Geo. Mooney,
of Ripley, moved that delegates present
the case to their municipalities and urge
a vote within 30 days. This motion
was carried unanimously. An effort
to have hydro engineers visit the
towns and villages to explain the pro-
position will be made.
Mayor Gurney, of Wingham, invited
the delegates to accept the hospitality
of the town to dinner, and a vote of
thanks to the town fathers for their
kindness was carried. The engineers
were also accorded a vote of thanks
WHEN, on the morning of November llth, 1918, the guns yr -----
glad tidings flashed across the world, there followed wi
Prayer of Thanksgiving, one yearning query, which found echo in _aster beat-
ing hearts of wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and sweethearts. That
query was, "How soon will our boy be home?" And, from France and Flanders,
from Italy and Egypt, from Palestine and from far-off Siberia, there came an
answering echo, "How soon, how soon, may we go home?"
CANADA caught the 'spirit of these longings, and at once resolved to satisfy
them. It was an appalling task. Shipping was tragically scarce. The com-
position of the Army of Occupation had not then been settled. And othef parts of
the Empire as well as Canada were looking for the speedy return of their men.
fHE problem was this. The half -million men that Canada hafd overseas had
taken more than four • years to transport to the field of battle; To bring -
them home in a few months was a gigantic undertaking—one to tax all Canada's
ingenuity and resources. Canada solved the problem, but it meant crowding into
a few short months, an expense for demobilization which it was impossible to foresee.
'`HEN, too, besides the sentimental aspect of the necessity for bringing the men
home quickly the economic side could not be overlooked. ' That was, to trans-
' form efficiently and speedily the nation's army of fighters in'io• a national army of
workers.
Need
Divides
Itself in
Two Parts
The answer to the question "Why
does Canada need anothtr Victory
Loan?" divides itself into two parts.
(a) To finish paying the expenses
of demobilization, and the obliga-
tions we still owe to our soldiers.
(b) To provide national working capital.
Obligations The obligations to soldiers in-
to Soldiers Thde:
That already incurred cost of
bringing home troops from overseas.
The payment of all soldiers still undemobilized. This
includes more than 20,000 sick and wounded who are
still in hospital, and who of course remain on the Army
payroll till discharged.
The upkeep of hospitals, and their medical and nursing
staffs, until the need for them is ended.
These three items alone will use up at least $200,000,000
cf the Victory Loan 1919.
Gratuities There is also the gratuity which
has been authorized, and has been
and is being paid to assist soldiers to tide over the period
between discharge and their re-adjustrnent to civil life.
For this purpose alone, $61,000,000 must he provided
out of the Victory Loan 1919, in addition to the
$59,000,000 already paid out of the proceeds of the
Victory Loan 1918.
Land Furthermore, soldiers who desire
Settlement the
become farmers may,under
the Soldiers' Land Settlement
Act, be loaned money by Canada with which to pur-
chase land, stock and implements. The money so
advanced will be paid hack; meantime each loan is
secured by a first mortgage. Up to August 15th,
29,495 soldiers had applied for land under the terms
of this Act; and 22,281 applications had been investi-
gated, and the qualifications of the applicant approved.
For this purpose Canada this year requires $24,000,000.
Vocational For this work which, with the
TTraining Vocational Training and Soldiers'
R >:, Service Departments, embraces
the major activities of the Department of Soldiers'.
Civil Re-establishment, an appropriation of $57,000,000
is necessary.
These national expenditures are tear expenses. They
will be accepted '"readily by every citizen who gives
thought to the task. which Canada faced following the
Armistice, and to the success with which she has met it.
National
Working
Capital
Canada needs national working
capital, so that she may be able
to sell on credit to Great Britain
and our Allies the products of
our farms, forests, fisheries,
mines and factories.
You may ask "Why sell to them if they can't pay cash?"
The answer is, "Their orders are absolutely essential
to the continuance of our agricultural and industrial
prosperity."
The magnitude of these orders and the amount of em-
ployment thus created, will depend upon the success
of the Victory Loan' 1919.
The " Why "
of Credit
Loans
Farmers and manufacturers' (and
that includes the workers on these
orders) must be paid cash for
their products. Therefore, Canada
must borrow money from her
citizens to give credit, temporarily, to Great Britain and
our Allies. Actually, no money will pass out of Canada.
If Canada does not give credit, other countries will;
and they will get the trade, and have the employment
that should be ours, to distribute amongst their workers.
And remember, we absolutely need these orders to main-
tain employment. If we don't finance them business
will feel the depression, employment will not be as
plentiful, and conditions everywhere will be adversely'
affected.
For Trans-
portation
Money must also he available to
carry on the nation's shipbuilding
programme, other transport-
ation development work.
For loans to Provincial Dousing' Commissions who are
building moderate priced houses.
These, then, are some of the things for which Canada
needs national working capital. She is in the position
of a great trading company, and her citizens who buy
Victory Bonds are the dhareholders.
Those who give thought to our outstanding obligations to soldiers, and to our need for
national working capital, cannot fail to be impressed with the absolute necessity for the

Wingham is Preparing for Hydro,
To Wingham ratepayers, in particular
and many others who had not beets able
to attend the afternoon meeting, En-
gineer James of the Hydro -Electric
Commission, explained in detail the ad-
vantages of hydro power and its re-
lation to the municipalities of Ontario
at the evening Meeting.
Wingham citizens were anxious for
a thorough understanding on the mat-
ter, ses there is some dissatisfaction
over the present cost of electric power.
I he cost of production at the steam
plant here is $92 per horsepower, while
it is stated hydro can be delivered Isere
from Eugenia Falls at $40.
Electric light consumers are now
paying 10 cents per kllwatt, while
hydro charges are estimated at 7 cents.
Mr. James explained the cost of in-
stalling the system, and pointed out
that power cannot be delivered to
Wingham earlier than July bf next
year. While, as in all cases, there are
a few opposed, the town may be said
to be almost unanimous for the intro-
duction of hydro.
A Visit to Eugenia Fella.
(Milverton Sun.)—Dr, P. L. Tye,
Rev. C. N. Paddon, Mr. John Beckett
and Mr. Malcolm MacBeth motored to
Markdale on Monday, Sept, 15, where
they viewed Mr, P, McCullough's large
herd of Shetland and Welsh ponies with
a view to making some purchases. On
the return journey they swung off at
Flesherton and visited Eugenia
and the power const` •
is at prese,'

unnecessarc to state that
s -me of the party were nearly exhaust-
ed of wind when they again reached the
heights. A splendid government park
with pavillion, public kitchen, picnic
tables, etc., surrounds the falls and dur-
ing the summer is visited by thousands
of people. A tremendous dans over
twenty feet high backs the water of
the Beaver River over an area of 1,800
acres of land and this forms a splendid
reservoir from which water is stave
piped down to the brow of the moun-
tain, from here down to the power
house it is conveyed in heavy steel ri-
veted pipes In pressure of the water.
The power house is situated its Kimber-
ly valley, which is two miles in width
and stretches for over thirty miles.
The view from the hill some live huts- 1
drad feet above is one of the finest in

Thanksgiving day has been appoint-
ed for the first Monday in October.
A great many wanted it on Armistice
day, which is the lath of November.
f the Government would have respect
for the purpose for which Thanksgiving
Day was orginally intended it would
not stake so much difference.
The hill to establish November 11, as
a permanent thanksgiving day, in com-
memoration of the signing of the arsis-
tice on that date in 1918, will not gu
into effect this year, as the proclama-
tion has already been issued, setting
October s3th as the date for Thanks-
giving Day.

Above is an exact reproduction of the
Referendum ballot, showing the correct way
to Vote in order to sustain the Ontario Tem-
perance Act as it stands.
Everybody should study the four questions and
realise exactly what they mean. Do not be misled by
the insidious demand far "light" beer.
The beer of the ballot is 118% stronger than the
Ontario Temperance' Act now allows, and over five
times as strong as the limit allowed for beer defined as
non -intoxicating in Great Britain and the United States.
Answer Each Question
1. Unless you vote on every question your ballot
is spoiled.
2. You must mark your answer to each ques-
tion with an "X" only. Anything else would
spoil your ballot.
3. Unless a majority vote "No" on question 1
the bars will be restored and the sale of all kinds of intoxicants permitted.
4. Unless a majority vote "No" on questions 2, 3 and 4 the Ontario Tem-
, perance Act will become almost worthless.
5. The only SAFE course is to mark your ballot as shown above.
VS
"NO Four Times—No!
No repeal; No government beer shops; No beer saloons; No government
whiskey shops.—Four X's, each under the word "No."
