REASONS FOR TCIE PRESENT
SHORTAGE OF EGGS.
From the time that mixed farming
because general in Clic Central States
the United States' egg crop has been.
able to keep pace with the demand
and heretofore when there wasa
shortage in Canada, eggs have been
available] on the. Chicago and other
large western markets. This win'ter,
however, increased consumption' on
the part of the Americans themsel-
ves, ar,d through a slightly smaller
egg crop this year, the usual sur-
plus is not available. In recent years
'the storage crop was sufficient to
meet the denand until the middle of
Deeetnbet: or little later. After
that American eggs were imported to
supply the shortage, •
In actual receipts; possibly the Unit-
ed States' crop was not much smaller
than previous years, but, owing to
the extremely mildweather, winter,
production was phenominally large
with a^corresppnding falling -off in
spring production. This meant a
short crop for storage as, storage
eggs are what largely supply the de-
mand during tine winter months. This
accpunts for the fact that the price
of eggs is higher in the United States
and that there is little or no surplus
fot ,export to Canada, In tact, since'.
the . revision of idle tariff the United
Slates is actually importing, over
8,000 cases of foreign eggs havingbeen
received in New ]York alone during
the week ending November 29th, It
is expected that the availability of.
foreign eggs for 'both the United
States and Canada will have the ef-
fect or averting a serious shortage
and ofreducing materially the price
to the=consumer:.

Several Reasons Why You
Should Voteo
f r the Canada
Temperance Act.
'1'o the Editor of The News-Reeord:
-Will you kindlyallow me space to
tell you why 1 shall.' 'vote for 'the:
Canada 'Temperance Act 83 January,
1. 1 shou atake
]dn like to the .res;
ponsibilit of vot'n against
Y g a, it and
thus continue the'licen'ted hotels
where strong t.r
cna drink:issoltl Co the
t
&r ea detriment of -many of our peo-
ple,
I', 1\ U
� Not. in a thousand is ben-
efited
�
efited- by it. The late Dr. Benjamin
Ward Richardson, the famous physic-
ian, of London„ England,used it only
twice in treating patiens during a
long practise. Both tithes a ' small
portion of brandy was used to carry
the patient's heart past a critical
moment, The times when it is bene-
ficial -are very few indeed: •On the
other Band it is very doubtful if
there are any cases wlicn ta':en as a
beverage that it isn't ii(urious. Being
a poison it injures the health, It
hardens- the coats of the, ca �,illaries,
dilates the blood vessels, causes
heart trouble, injures .tlic digestive
oranges and shooters the dr ri'cer's
life. Life Insurance tom; ages,
prove, this last' statement.
2, It isn't on'y the dr n':er who
suffers. I-Iis wife and amity ]se-
quently feel the p:nch oft ovcrty be-
cause the money spent in drin's
means so; much less for the comforts
of home, yes, often tlse necessaries of
life. Many a child is henigary to -day
because the fatiuer spends his earn-
ings in strong drink, Many a child
i5 kept out of school because of the
lack of proper clothing, etc. All
such are handicapped in the race of
life because of early surroundings. It
takes the spirit out of a young child
to know that ile is the son or a
drinker. ' Think also of the patient
wife who has remained faithful due-,
'ng all those years in spite of neg-
lect, want, heart -hangar for apprec-
iation and frequently abuse, bouyed
up with the dope that some day the
drink will be prohibited and she will
again hate the early joys of home
restored, As ' a to ring mother she
hides her heartaches and with the
best smile she can muster tries to
train ant' inspire her children to be-
come trite and noble men and wo•
men with a hatred for the dreadful
drink tratflc. For the sake of these
risen, women and children I shall
vote for the Scott Act.
3, I shall vote for it, not because
I think it perfect but because I be-
lieve it will do good and is a step
towards prohibition. Many prohib-
itory laws had serious defects when
first enacted because legislators
wouldn't pass a better law but as
the prohibitory law made good, it
was amended and improved. 14's'en
this Act in its present condition is
a great improvement on the original.
The prohibitory laws of Maine and
Kansas are similar. examples. Our
legislators will do as we want then
if they see we are in earnest. In
spite or • any defects it is in suc-
cessful operation in the maritime
provinces for over twenty years. The
whole of Prince Edward Island is
under the Scott Act. In Nova Scot-
ia only the City of Halifax is ex-
empt from its rule, In New Bruns-
wick there are on'y 137 liquor lic-
enses in the whole provirnee. It must
surely be a success or it would have
been repealed long ago. 11 041St be
a good 'and workable law,
4, I shall s'ote for it haeause I
am in favor o' prohibition which I
believe is the on'y right way to deal
with the drink traffic, A prohibit-
ory late is nsorc easily en`orced. than
a license law. As to the right or
wrong of a prohibitory law, we deem
it right when it comes' to the pro-
hibition of the sale of immoral lit-
erature and no one says a word a-
gainst it except those interested in
the business. Town councils pass pro-
hibitory by-laws against nuisances,
etc,, and all good citizens are satis-
fied.
In conclusion allow me to give one
quotation-" The detnotalize influ-
ence of liquor penetrates every phase
Of lite, and imposes a tremendous
annual burden upon the people"-Ciov-
ernor ]Nelson Miles, U. S. A.
I shall vote for the Canada Tem-
perance Act because of the encour-
agement given to all lovers of their
country by the following facts told
aboat the vine' of Prohibition in
Kansas. According to the statement
of ibie attorney general of that slate
illiteracy has been reeluced From forty-
n°ne to less than two peeccnt sine
the passage of the prohihitry loci,
']'here are one hsundretd and fiat, crt,r;-
ties in the state.. 1.ighty 4s'renrhave.
no insane, and , fifty -tour net fceb'le-
minded ; ninety-six have no nehriat-
es; thirty-eight poor fauns have no:
inmates ; fifty-three county jails are
empty; and sixty-five counties have
no 'prisoners serving senten es, ']`hese
counties have not tried a criminal
case in ten years, and ane county
there has not been a grand jury in
twenty-five years. Prohibition seems
to be. a "failure" only when some
ono wants to sell or drink liquor,
They have in the savings Banks $118
for each person in the state. The as-
sessment values amount to $1684 for
each person here. And yet this State
was once called "Poor Kansas.,' It
is now rich. In 1907 she sent $50,-
000,000 to Wall street to kelp out
the financial difficulties. She creat-
es wealth faster than any other state
in the Union, 'Kansas moneyed men,
hold .887,000,000 of mortgages. They.
have ,is permanent school fund of $10,
000,000. Last 'summer' a severe
drought was experienced in the State
but it didn't frieghteu them ,badly
because they are free from having to
keep up an army of paupers, crinin
els, insane and feeble-mind;t Tne
cost of the administration of ,justice
is consequently very light. We may
welI' ask, "What's, wrong ;vi th I{ an-
sas ?" "Oh, She's all right,'" conies
the answer. •
Twenty-five years ago the liquor
dealers and their friends used to com-
fort themselves with the thought that
when the next generation carie a-
long they would' return to license but
the fact is that the law is heron
ing stricter year alter yew:. 43' the
amendments passed. by the legislature
until' now not even the drug stores
are allowed to sellany intoxicating'
drink,' _ and these amendments are
passed; by the young men who are
]making the laws for the, State. One
hot day last seamier 160 men mer-
chants, lawyers,, doctors, editors
clerks, me, hanies, bankers, farmers
made a trip in autoes through thir-
teen •totivns and no beer or spirits Were
asked for. by any: member or the par-
ty, Ipstead in one town the
neople
there provided Ia ge stone jars filIed
with lemonade: where all might drink
freely. 0 yes ; Prohibition is a suc-
cess in Kansas and it will he a suc-
cess in Huron 'too, Let its vote and,
work for ;it with all our might and
Inairy.
Again opponents of prohibition are
fond of saying that prohibition only
increases the sale of Iigpor and that.
the dealers sell more in dry terri-
tory thaninwet. Well; the brewers
have a year ):oo'c in which are giv-
en some figures along these lines,
They prove that 15 nine prohibition
states the as crage consumption of
malt liquors ,5 1.35 per capita per
year, and in fifteen local option
States (part wet and part dry) ; the
average consumption is 4,37, gals. But
in twenty -serene sa'oon States -lic-
ense territory, mostly wet--
the
et-the .consumption reaches an aver-
age of 25,23 gals per capita
per year. "'Hie difference between
1..35 and 25.21 gallons is considerable,
and it teed not be wondered at that
the brewers and distillers are inten-
sely interested in the question of pro-
hibition whether in States or in
smaller sections. A dry county, et
feats the business of one or more
breweries, and tiie manufacturers can
well afford to spend large ,sums of
money to keep the sluiceway open for
the discharge of their: swill upon the
public." Bmf even then how they can
persuade such men as the Clinton de-
fenders, of the traffic to support it
surpasses our imagination.
To show the value placed on pro-
hibition when once it is secured al-
low me to "italic the following quot-
ation from a recent speech made by
Governor Glenn of North Carolina.
After speaking of the campaigtu he
continues -"When the vote was taken
May 26th, 1907, thank God ! North
Carolina declared for state-wide pro-
hibition by- 45,352 majority. If you
were to leave it to the people (M"any
state to -morrow as to how they
should vote they, would cut out the
saloon by 150,000 majority, for they
have tasted all the sweets of tem-
perance and we will never go back
to the idols of drunkenness aad sin,"
Thanking you for the space occup-
ied by this I remain.
lours sincerely,
