In. placing confidence in'the plans ible -professions of the ' members o the Drury. Government, they war living in expectancy, that their fond est hopes of a period of wise re tr enchment and true economy in th management of public affairs woul be fully realized. With the record o this Government now `before them is it any wonder that the same elec torate have now assumed an attitud of dead silence regarding the politi cal situation? What are the facts? We have al ready shown from the official. records how the members of the Cabinet, am mediately upon assuming office, ab- solutely •surrendered to the Deputy Ministers of thej ld regime, whose purpose it largely was, to endeavor to blast the hopes of all who were looking to a policy of wise retrench- ment; and how, in dealing with the civil service and establishing such a system of -superannuation, they fail- ed to measure up to the requirements of the situation: We have also glanced at one or two of the depart - menta of the public service, with the view of showing bow they are being directed.• In such a aeries of short articles it is absolutely impossible to deal in detail with the work of the Government as a whole. Largely as the result of the lack of leadership, the extravagance of their financial record, as disclosed by the Public Accqunts, is one without parallel in the history of this Province. It is a matter of vital importance that every elector of the Province should carefully study the official re- cords, and thus inform themselves as to the true political situation. With the object of encouraging this study, the following figures are presented: When the Liberal Party assumed the reigns of power in Ontario, the entire annual public expenditure of the Province was $4,62$,000.04 or $1.50 per capita. In 1904, after 33 years of efficient administration, during whli the Liberal ,Government' made am a pro- vision for every. reasonable! mend 4$;tMe'pottage the; aSa¢,val, public24 e •pendithre amounted to $6,24!{,000.04, or $2.50 per capita. ,'. During those 83 years of Liberal rule the entire expenditure, all told, amounted to $1.13,191,872.00, and the Liberal Government -left the finances of the Province in such a favorable standing that, after, deducting all lia- bilities there was not only no public debt, but a surplus of assets amount- ing to $2,549,164.12. There Was standing to the credit of the Province cash in' the banks on January tat, 1905, the sum of $3,747,969.00. The Conservative Party then took office and remained in ,power for 15 years. When they began the annual public expenditure was, as I have said, $5,267,000.00, and there was no debt. In their last year of office, 1919, the annual public expenditure had risen to $47,360,949.29, or $18.06 per capita, and they also left a legacy of direct liabilities ilniounting to $97,572,000.00, and indirect liabilities of $19,205,000.00. The Drury Government assumed power in December, 1919, and in its very first year the annual public ex- penditure was increased to $82,844,- 700.28, or $31.26 per capita. In the second year it was raised to $119,405,475.98, or $43,60 per capita; and during the last year, ending October 31st, 1922, it reached the al- most incredible sum of $131,964,696.15 or $45 per capita, and the direct lia- bilities of the Province now stand at $240,923,995.19, and indirect liabili- ties (some of which will prove to be direct) stand at $40,757574403. In the citation of the above figures, the attention of the electorate should be drawn to the fact that in their sec- ond year the Drury Government ex- pended in the one year over $6,000,000.00 more than the Liberals spent, in their entire 33 years ad- ministration. HiLLS GREEN W. M. S.—The monthly meeting of the Hills Green W. M. S. was held at the home of Mrs. Carlile, when a very profitable meeting was held.

McKILLOP A Correspondent Writes From To- ronto -.-195 Munro Street, Toronto. Dear Expositor --I have, not been keeping up my end very well for some time, the reason being that I have been i11 for three weeks with the prevailing malady. Last week there was not enough snow around Toronto to make a snowball, but on Sunday night there was an abund- ance fell, and I am told that it is pretty nippy outdoors to -day. On St. Patrick's day a great number of girls and boys were going up and down selling artifical shamrocks. I am told that the proceeds go to a Catholic school of learning, St. Augustine, I think. Up at Queen's Park it has been very interesting lately. Hartley Dewart has been soaking Raney and Nickle, of King- ston, has been taking after Peter Smith in great shape. Pete is a good natured fellow and keeps handing out his millions, Toronto was visited by the Premier of Quebec and other lead- ing men from that Province a few days ago.

Mrs. Vodden had been in poor health for a number of years, but the last seven nionths had been better than she had been for years, THE WONDER PICTURE OF ALL TIMES A STORY OF MOTHER LOVE DIVINE The record of this picture stamps it as the most absorbing drama ever presented in a theatre. We realize how futile it is to pick amusements that will satisfy everybody. But "Over The Hill" is a pifture for everybody. Its appeal is so universal, so powerful, so hu- man, and its characters so lifelike, that we feel cer- tain it will_grip you as it has millions of others in all walks of life. For one solid year, twice daily, it played on Broadway in six different theatres, and its reception throughout the entire country has been equally en- thusiastic.
