that excellent journalistic representative of the last incorporated town of halton county tho gazette has been most loyal to burlington s interests under mr harris regime he has kept its readers well informed in all municipal matters and during the numerous stormy sessions of the council through the period of evolution from the status of a village to that of a full fledged incorporated town the gazette has given detailed reports of all proceedings no newspaper man in tho county has worked harder esteemed contemporary at burlington the reward has followed in a profitable business and general public confidence in addressing the ontario provincial synod of the church of england in canada at ottawa last week archbishop thornloe metropolitan of ottawa said the church must take sides or perish on the straight issues of right and wrong terrible evils may be traced back to tho use or liquor under the license system since the coming of prohibition there has been a remarkablo change for the better in my diocescc the leaders of all the churches arc opposed to a licensed liquor trafflfc and in favor of continuing the prohibition law the synod adopted the follow ing resolutions tho general synod heartily en dorses the action of tho government in seeking to restrict and eventually to abolish the liquor traqlc and calls upon all patriotic citizens to uphold its bands the appeal of the liberty league is nothing more or less than the appeal of the moderate drinker who wants to make it easy to secure liquor in his home those who have seen tho lineup in front of the government liquor stores knqv well enough that many people jjot their supply on a poor excuse drunkards come from the ranks of moderate drink ers prohibitionists may be cranks but they hold he cogs in the interests of the rising get eration already there are legal quibbles arising over the vote on the several questions in tho referendum the only way to make sure of the future legislation is to put your x in the no column to all questions every ballot must have four crosses on it or it wi be spoiled newmarket era government authorities claim there is plenty of employment for all applicants in this province ac cording to mr j a miller superintendent of the ontario government employment bureau the de mand for labor is much greater than tho supply he said that where men were out of work it was because they could not adapt themselves to the many oppor tumties offered he named specific instances of where companies had asked for large numbers of men including the lumber camps where thousands were needed but in all these cases not enough help could be secured two thousand five hundred men nor displayed more genuine enterprise than our had been placed on tho farms so far this year but 1 500 additional offers of employment remain un filled the pay for farm labor ho said was double that of fivo ycara ago as noted m last iasuo thanksgiving day has been fixed for monday october 13 for years october has seemed too early for this important anniversary naturally when thanksgiving day come- one thinks of the fruits of tho field and orchard all btng vilely housed and the spirit of thanksgiving uppermost for the mercies of the fruitful season on october 13 much of the crop of the orchard and tho field still await the gathering why should not armistice day november 1 1 bo fixed as canada a permanent thanksgiving day this question is being asked by many who object to the celebration of the day in october it is felt that armistice day which the pooplo will forever regard as the day on which the world peace was restored after tour years of the bloodiest war in all history should be celebrated not only by the offering of thanks for the bounties of providence but for the return of peace tho associated boards of trade of canada at their an nual meeting passed a resolution asking tho do minion government to make the nearest monday to november 1 1 canadas permanent thanksgiving day this would be most appropriate and very generally satisfactory the conferring of tho franchise on women on the same qualifications permitted manhood franchise has resulted in rather a surprisingly increased list of voters in the last provincial election there were approximately 750 000 voters in ontario the lists prepared for the coming referendum election has 1611759 names more tljan double the number on last lists in halton county there are 14032 names while the lists used in last election had but 6759 as these lists will be used in the next election of members of the provincial legislature the politicians are more than curious to know what effect the en franchiaemont of women and of soldiers under twentyone will have on the result it will be haz ardous for any ono to predict tho result of a political election in any constituency until tho women electors have voted once or twice the collector of taxes for the municipality had quite an experience on saturday the date fixed for payment of the first instalment for tho year com ments on the high tax rate were invariable what has the council done this year more than other yi rs to require such high taxes why didnt they pub lish the estimates as usual when the rate was struck we expected this was to be an economical counted what i am obliged to pay today doesnt bear out the promises made at election time this is tho first time in fifty years that i was not ablo to pay both instalments at once say how do you suppose some people are going to raiso tho amount they have to pay in taxes this year these and scores of other aimoar comments were passed by ratepayers to each other as they wended their way to tho tax collector s desk or watted their turn for him to write their re ceipts for taxes paid the hope was general that this exceptionally high rate would nover again be levied in acton the work canada is doing for soldiers who were maimed in the war ia certainly creditable every citizen of our tjominjon will rejoice that the best possible care and skillful attention are behtgglven to our brave men who were unfortunatoly crippled in the cruel war this work in canada has reached a degree of sympathetic efficiency unequalled in any other country whose soldiers participated in the war the activities of the department pf soldiers civil rccstablishmcnt has resulted in accomplish ment tho benefits of which other countries have seen fit to adopt evidences of the work dono may be seen throughout canada in the thoroughly equipped hospitals and sanatoria tho vocational schools which crippled men are retrained to resume their places in the industrial life of the dominion and in he long chain of offices throughout the country where former members of tho forces may secure touch with employment opportuntics in this work canada has led and others of tho allies have followed the lead it has not been an easy task owing tho vast territory and tho scattered population but tho problem has been dealt with in such a manner as to evoke the enthusiastic prpse of experts from other countries this fact is not as widely known as it should bo canadians themselves should appre ciate the value of the con struct wo work being car ncd on in the dominion it is their work and every citizen should assume hia aharo in it because it can not reach the culmination of complete success until the cooperation

advertising to some modern advertising is a mere stimulant to buying this was per haps its first mood but in the growth of canadian advertising there has been of late years a constructive force for honest manufacture and honest salesmanship you cannot possibly advertise a wooden nutmeg on any large scale the most you can do with bad stuff is to sell once and clear out the whole modern theory is to regard the bulk of advertising as a capital investment based on square dealing and goodwill and designed slowly to build up a business or a trade mark in which people may trubt education is not too big a word to apply to modern intelligent advertising it educates every one it touches the or ganization is put upon its honor and re quired to btudy and develop in order to live up to its assertions the public reads and compares and tests current manu facture of all kinds is largely a reflex from the public through advertising depart- ments they are no longer merely belling forces but building
