NOT ENOUGH
bills have, within recent days,
."'ntroduced in the Ontario Leg-
Giera having for their aim the
, , , e thy object of assisting farmers to
obtsen Hydro power.
;One is to enable the Government
•tae raise a fund of two million dollars,
out of which . individual farmers may
bQrraw the sum of '$1,0001 each to
assist them in paying the cost of in-
stallation of electrical equipment on
their properties. The loans will be
zepay ble in twenty years and will
have precedence over• all other
mortgages, lien notes and all encum-
Deranees of any kind, previously ex-
isting against the property.
The other is to empower the Hydro
Power Commission to fix new maxi-
mum charges for rural power services
and enable the Government to nee'
out of the general revenues of the
Province any deficit, which might
arise through these lower charges in
any rural power district. The new
charge, we understand, is to be $2.50
a month in place of the former charge
of $4.10 for a class three service.
As we stated, the endeavor to give
the farmer cheaper Hydro power or
to enable him to install Hydro are
worthy endeavors, indeed. Good as
far as they go, 'but not good enough
by a long way.
It is `hard enough now for a farm-
er to raise money on his property for
any legitimate purpose whatsoever,
no 'natter how valuable that property
may be nor how good a farmer or re-
liable man he may be. And just how
it is going to loosen up the money
market by making a thousand dollar
mortgage on a twenty year term
available for every farmer who wish-
es to apply for it, irrespective of the
applicant's ability or even will to pay
is pretty hard to see at this distance.
Hydro power, like an automobile, is
a consumer, not a producer. It may
immeasurably, reduce the labor on a
farm, but it contributes nothing to
the value of the farm as a farm, and
the cost of it has to come out of the
farm. Already a farmer has to sign
a twenty year lease to secure Hydro
power on his property. That lease
constitutes a first mortgage against
the property, not against the man
who signs it.
Mlore than that, if the man who
signs it continues to reside on the
farm, he signs a blank cheque, because
he has no control over the rates he is
to be charged by the Hydro Commis-
sion and the same holds good on his
successor, should the farm change
hands.
' Giving the farmer a free oppor-
tunity of placing an additional thou-
sand dollar mortgage against his farm
making two which have preference
over all other liabilities, is not going
to make that farmer's life much eas-
ier, nor his ability to secure credit at
the store, with the machine compan-
ies, or the bank, much easier either.
The fact of the matter is, private
companies have demonstrated in Bruce
County and ethers, that they can give
cheaper power and as good or better
• service and certainly on easier terms,
than the Hydro Power Commission, a
publically owned utility can, or is
•willing to give to the rural districts
in other parts of the Province.
And it is this demonstration which
Inas been given by private companies
that has at last forced the Govern-
ment to open its heart and give some
consideration to rural districts in the
matter of the distribution of Hydro.
.So far their efforts in this direction,
including the two new bills, have
scarcely exceeded the effort of a ges-
ture. Perhaps, as we say, a friend-
Iy one, but a friendly gesture is not
enough.
Hydro is a publicly owned utility,
financed by the people as a whole, and
the rural communities are entitled to
as ;much consideration as the cities
and towels, and they will secure it,
too, if they insist on their rights and
use the ballot to back up this insist-
ence.
DIVIDING THE LIQUOR
PROFITS WITH MUNI-
CIPALITIES.
The Hamilton Spectator in a recent
editorial said:
"Hamilton is not lacking support of
its request that it be given a per-
centage of the receipts of liquor
atoms, Windsor is the latest munici-
pality to swing into line and the indi-
eations are that every city iti the
Province will be represented in a
deputation that will wait upon the
cabinet."
We redognize, of course, the great-
ness of the present Ontario Govern-
ment, its concern for the happiness
end. welfare of all, low and high, un-
der its sway, and likewise, its spend-
thrift abilities, At the same time it
!does not require the.exesrcise of much
• b'r in power or ,Insight, to recognize
tiie !tact that .the chances of these two
CC ise�S biv any other municipalities of
nee portten of the profits de -
sales in -the liquor stores
si^"ki'iicikttr ;i^+e• about as bright as
tilt hf file proverbial eeTlitloid
d ' cl{1ri *i ael%d'ttati' cat to
chase through the 'lower regions.
But these municipalities, have a
claim on a portion of the profits de-
rived from the sales at the liquor
stores, because the money paid into
these stores comes from that particu-
lar centre and district and departs
from them without their deriving any
benefit from it whatsoever.
At the same time, even if the Gov-
ernment were disposed to recognize.
this claim, would it be a wise thing
or •a good thing for the country? If
the municipalities which already have
liquor stores in their midst were to
derive a profit from them, how long
would it be before every other munici-
pality would be demanding a liquor
store?
Would it not be in the interest of
true temperance and the welfare of
the Province as a whole if Hamilton,
Windsor and other municipalities
would drop the question of liquor pro-
fits and concentrate their energies in
securing a portion of the gasoline tax
and several other taxes levied by the
Ontario Government, which are drain-
ing their centres of cash and not giv-
ing in return anything near like value
for the money they are collecting?
WHO IS R. J. DEACHMAN
(Bill Powell)
"Who is R. J. Deachman?" asks
the Stratford Beacon -Herald. "And
why?" asks the Peterboro Examiner.
It's just like these suddenly convert-
ed independent papers to ask political
questions when they are told to.
Well, Bob Deachman, as bath
journals know, is a useful citizen. He
hails from Vancouver and knows as
much about revenue tariffs as any
person in America. Before Bob
Dickman (pronounced that way) got
down to Ottawa as secretary of the
Consumers' League, the aforesaid con-
sumer had as much chance between
tariff tinkers of one kind or another
as the maiden who rod, the crocodile
up the Nile. The tariff tinkers pluck-
ed that old goose of a ci.nsumer till
she neither had feather or down on
her carcass—was a plucked goose
plucked. But Bob stopped the pluck-
ing—some of it.
Now when the tariff tinkers conte
up before Billy Moore's commission,
Bill listens to what Bob Deachman
has to say before the plucking com-
mences. So that old goose of a con-
sumer is now growing a feather or
two, and the down also.
You people who carry bundles to
your families for home consumption
should have a good word to say for
Bob Deachman. You get more for
your dollar, because Bob talks out.
That's the who, and the why of it!

Death of Mrs. William Beaver.—
On Sunday afternoon last, Frena
Krempien, relict of Mr. William
Beaver, passed away at the age of
67 years at her home here, and her
remains were taken to Kitchener for
interment on Tuesday afternoon last.
A service was first held at the home
here, conducted by Rev. A. Sinclair,
and which was quite largely attended.
Mrs. Beavers had been in declining
health for the past year or so, but
during the past months continued to
get much more seriously ill despite
the best medical and hospital care, a
growth having developed in her neck
and throat, which ultimately grew so
much worse that for 'a number of
weeks she had to be given nourish-
ment through her body as it could
not be taken in through the throat.
The deceased was a great sufferer
owing to that affliction. She leaves
to mourn her loss her husband and
one daughter, Selina, Mrs. Brawley,
now of Kitchener. Mr. and Mrs.
Peaver and daughter came here a
number of years ago after disposing
of their farm near Zurich and made
good re ' +dents. Mrs, Beaver was of
't quiet retiring nature and highly re-
epected for her many excellent quali-
ties.
Higher Standard of Attendance De-
manded. -- Our attention has been
drawn through our teaching staff' to
the follbwing article which appeared
in one of our dailies to the import-
ant matter of better attendance, and
twill, no doubt, prove of interest to
.
parents. By a new refutation al? the
Department of F l cit ion, the teach-
ers are tasked to enforce a higher
standard of attendance. Poor attend-'
ance generally in the province is the
cause of the Department attempting
to improve the existing conditions.
Another rurpose is to get better re-
sults as a whole in teaching, and this
cannot be accomplished without good
attendance. By the new regulations
all absentees are classed legal or il-
legal. For example, if a child is kept
home to help, that child is illegally
absent unless .he can bring a certifi-
cate from the, attendance officer. If
the parents wish to go visiting and
take their child with them, that is
considered parental neglect and there-
fore illegal. Illness also can be
classed likewise unless a thorough ex-
planation by the parents is given or
unless a certificate from the doctor is
forthcoming. To enforce this high-
er standard any child who is away
more than one day a month, illegally,
is to be reported to the attendance of-
ficer. His report is to be kept in the
school by the + teacher as a record. All
parents or guardians are asked to ob-
serve this notice and co-operate as
much as possible so that a higher
standard of attendance may be ob-
tained.
Briefs.—The services in the Hen -
sail United Church on Sunday last

Horney, of Exeter. Miss Horney, who
was well and favorably known in
Hensall, had been in failing health for
some time.—Miss Dorothy Munn, sec-
ond daughter of Mr. Robert Munn,
is at present in the Clinton Hospital.
—Mrs. Alex. Smith recently received
word of the death of her sister, Mrs.
Switzer, of near Kirkton, and scarcely
more than a week after her brother -
;n -law, Mr. Switzer, also passed away.
Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Smith
in the loss of these near relatives.—
Our business men and citizens as well
as those of the district regret the
withdrawal of the Bank of Commerce
from our town and while they appear-
ed to be enjoying a good share of
business, yet in the bank address to
the patrons they mentioned that after
a fair trial of a number of years the
business was not sufficient to continue
a branch here. We are fortunate,
however, in having such a strong and
well established bank as the Bank of
Montreal to take over the business and
which will, no doubt, afford good ac-
commodation to its new as well as old
patrons, with a good local manager,
Mr. L. R. Coles, and an efficient staff.

Monroe, Manager of the Bank of
Commerce here for the past year gr

faction to the said bank and its pat-
rons, and has also taken an active
interest in the life and welfare of our
village, has been bMi sferrr ed to At-
wood and together with Mrs. Monroe
and daughter, Miss Edera, will be
very much missed by a large circle of
friends in church, business and social
life.—There is quite a demand for.

was read by 'Mrs. S. L. Peppier and
-the presentation was made by Miss
Grace Stone: "Mr. Tom Simpson:
Dear Friend:—It is with deep regret
that we learned that you are about
to leave our community. We feel
more keenly than words can express
the fact that we shall be deprived of
the cheerful personality of such a
faithful church worker. The zeal and
diligence which was evidenced in your
earlier services in Sunday school and
has steadily grown and won for you
our highest esteem. The membranes
of your generous devotion shall ever
remain with us as for inspiration to
greater service. It is in memory of
this that we ask you to accept this
club bag as a slight token of our ap-
preciation and humble acknowledg-
ment of what you have meant to us.
Though we shall miss you as an ac-
tive member, we are proud that from
our midst should go one who will take
his place in the world in another
sphere. We are confident that you
will be the same inspiration to them
that you are to us. We wish God's
blessing may follow you and that you
will have the greatest success in your
new station. Signed on behalf of the,
members of the A.Y.P.A. of St. Paul's
Church, Hensall." Tom made an ap-
propriate reply and refreshments were
served at the close of,the meeting.
