THE famous Rogers Batteryless "Two -Twenty" Model,
shown above bove with the Junior Symphony Speaker, is the.
standard in performance and quality among all "electric" radios.
The f ornaer price of this model in combination with the Junior
Symphony Speaker was $330. Now you can buy it for .$275—
a clear saving of $55. Or you can buy the set alone for 425—
no more than you would pay for any good battery-operated set.
You've probably wanted a Rogers Batteryless-most people do.
Take 'advantage of this new low price to get this complete
Rogers Outfit now—the best radio for the least money on the
market today. Terms to suit your convenience.

interest all over the country. Mr.
Ham's: suggestion is that Fergus be-
comes incorporated as a town and; at
the same time obtain separation from
the county. Fergus has now the ne-
cessary population for incorporation
as a town and the separation from
the county, which would require a
special act of the Ontario legislature
is quite within the range of possioility,
as there are some precedents already
in Ontario parliamentary proceedings.
We sincerely hope that Mr. Hain, the
Fergus News -Record, and the people
o. Fergus, will be able to carry, this
plan through to a successful conclus-
ion. We say this, not because we are
anxious to get rid of Fergus from
county activities—by no means—but
because we belive it very probable
that such action would start some-
thing which would result in the abo-
lition of the old, inadequate and ex-
cessively expensive county council
system altogether.
We nuderstand that ` a memb-
er of the legislature, who is now a
cabinet minister; some years ago, in-
timated that he had under considera-
tion the bringing in of a measure to
do away with county councils. This
measure never materialized. This was
a pity. The county council seems to
be a very unnecessary link between
municipal and provincial governing
bodies. The chief business of the
county council at present is building
and maintaining roads. Provincial
and municipal roads are all that are
required. The county roads should
be given back to the municipalities,
the government ,grants for •these
roads paid direct to the municipal
councils and the taxes raised for their
construction and maintenance paid in-
to and expended from the municipal
treasury,
Perhaps the next most important
business of the county council the ad-
ministration of education. Here again
administration by the legislature and
the municipality is all that is required.
At present county grants are made to
schools and government grants based
on county grants are made by the de-
partment of education, The county
then gets these grants by ,making al-
lowance in the county rate for them,
There is no need of the county's part
in the matter at all, The department
and the municipality could, carry on
more economically and :more effici-
ently without county council inter-
ference at all and so it is with the
administration of, justice and all along
the line, There is little chance of any
suggestion of reform coming from
the council itself, partly because
feeding at the county treasurer's
trough is both pleasant and profitable•
and partly because the ratepayers gets
eratly do not hesitate to make a hero
of a man who proves himself a really
expert feeder at this aforesaaid county
treasurer's` trough.
If Fergus, by breaking away from
the Wellington County Council alto-
gether, can start something in 1928,
the conning year, to use an expres-
sion learned over the radio, will fur-
ish a great moment in history, for
Wellington+ County in particular, and
the province in general.
