which is being held under the patronage of the belgian gov ernment wab convoked upon the initiative of the french association for the league of nations where the price of that very necessary family commodity sugar is to rise to seems at present problematical the nashville tcnn advocate nays the pricefixing board has agreed that the price of seventeen cents shall be charged by the refiner for the present crop of louisiana sugar and attorney general pajmer has approved it that moans that thc retail prices will not be less than eighteen and half cents the price of louisiana sugor has nothing to do with the price of sugar produced elsewhere hu it is likely that efforts will be made to 11 x the price of all sugars if the price keeps advancing will become an almost unobtainable luxury inrtlf

recites day after day the numerous reforms he proposes to introduce speaking in brantford hon mr drury said that the common schools have been giving a little smatter ing of this and that but they have not been teach ing the children to read and write properly em ployers generally in the province will endorse the premiers criticism and will sincerely hope that the reforms proposed will include the rectifying of the defect in public and high schools indicated by tho premier remarks it looks very much as if the cause of prohibition will not suffer materially at the hands of thd nev provincial government with premier drury ex pressing a determination for more drastic prohibition and an attorneygeneral in office who is sure to en force prohibitory law to tho limit those electors who arc alleged to have carried out their threat to knife the hearst government because of its prohibition policy ore naturally wondering whether their ven geance was really worth while or seriously misplaced a feature of the high cost of living hoth for man and beast has developed a new consideration in re spect to feeding and keeping over winrw some least of the live stock of trtpfarm it is stnred that owing to the high cost of feed tho farmers of some districts are killing off just as much of their ii stock as possible jnd that in some cases they have gone so far even as to kill horses and sell their hides several cases of that kind are reported from an eastern ontario county the farmers stating that they consider it cheaper witkhay at 30 per ton to kill the horses sell their hides and buy new ones in the spring this procedure with reference to horses par ticularly is surely to be greatly regretted lf up the united states senate has put itsclr upon record as opposed to the peace treaty of tho league of nations after a long and bitter fight the senate has definitely refused to ratify tho peace treaty all of president wilsons influence was used to swing the senate into line whether the treaty will again be presented to the senate is uncertain but there seems to bo no reason at present to anticipate any change in the senates attitude the rejection of the treaty will mean that the united states great influence wjll no longer be looked to in the councils of europe to help preserve the peace o the world or at least such influence will not be definitely allied to that of brit ain and franco and italy tho friends of peace hoped much from the advent of the united states upon tho european arena they trusted that with britain and the united states determined upon peace a world war would be forever impossible it is stillj to bo hoped that the senate may see its way to allow the united stanjt to take the place which ought to take tn the cohncijs of tho nations the high position of lieutenantgovernor ot on- tario has been filled by the dominion government by the appointment mf a gentleman who had never been mentioned publicly as being thought of by the powers at ottawa tor the high office mr lionel h clarke of toronto a nativo of guelph has received tho appointment mr clarke while he has never been in public life so far as public office is concerned excepting perhaps being a member of the toronto harbor board is highly spoken of and evidently commands general respect it is believed he will make an ideal lieutenantgovernor mrs clarke is regarded as highly qualified

of their respective interests the failure of the two largest strikes this year that the ivorld has ever known should put industrial workers on their guard however when propositions for strikes arc made by paid officers there is such a thing as being sure of success and yet meet with ignominious defeat in the case of the railway striko in england the development of the motor service changed tho en tiro aspect of the situation showing tho strikers that the nation was not at their mercy in the matter of transportation of supplies while in tho great steel strike in the united states the shortage ot labor to carry on has been the means of inventing machirt- cry to do tho work of highly paid men who now find that they are out of a job no matter how a strike ends things are not the same as thoy were before it started tho most satisfactory way to settlo disputes u surely by arbitration always one of the sanest suggestions foru warden din ner that has been made anywhere in province comes jrom brant county- the warden will this year hold the annual wardens dinner at tho house of refuge ard tho inmates there will be the guests at the twnquct and afterwards wjill receive gifts from a christmas tree this is a commcndiblc contrast to i the method which has been in vogue in this county for many years here the warden after a year of strenuous self-sacrificing- duties by an unwritten but 1 inyiolato law is expected to provide a dinner to his fellow members of the council the county court offi cials and the leading politicians at his own expense in wellington county on the other hand thomem- bers fete tho warden and present him with a gold watch or cane or so mo other testimonial the brant wardens plan however commends itself as a fitting type of reconstructed methods with due- regard for established precedent the free press humbly sug gests that the wardens of helton and feel counties coalese hits year and jointly arrange for wardens dinners at the houto of kefugc at

iqss to the new tiuc factory this loss falls heavily upon jutt mackenzie the contractor mr mackcn zio takes his losb very philosophically and is at work putting tho premises in shape to avert further loss to the building from the elements and unnecessary loss of time to the shoo manufacturing company who had commenced to move in notwithstanding mr mackenzie cheerful mood in regarding tho loss it will bo very unfair if this community ullows him un aided to bear the total coat of removing the debris and restoring thebuilding tho contract was almost completed had the unforeseen catastrophy caused by an unusuul attack of the elements been delayed for a single week the contruct would have been completed and the building handed over in that event tho lohs must have been borne by the munici pality und tho ujanufacturcrs who occupied it tho latter having ulreudy stored there a carload of their equipment in ull fairric under the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate event the heavy loss should to some extent be shared with the contractor the building whs erected true to specifications the wall were built upon the customary factory con struction plans the roof was one of the best over put on a building in acton and tho materials were firstclass throughout sunely tho position of con tractor mackenzie deserves generous consideration wo believe the people qf this town are very generally of thin opinion or will be when they give the matter reasonable and equitable consideration and especial ly as reports tdiow that tumilar losses werc caused to other moat substantial buildings over a wide area of he province the attention of the people of ontario and in deed of many outside the limits of the province focused with keen interest upon the doings pf the new provincial cabinet their expressed views and intentions relative to the future administration of ontarios public affairs is regarded with much specu lation the newspapers are on the alert for particu lars of proposed changes radical or otherwise the women too more than ever before now that they have been given their true rights in the franchise will read political news and speeches with possibly tho same interest as they do the society events and thefashions the latestannouncement to bemade through the press is that nominations for the ontario provincial byeelectiona made necessary by law for mem bers of tho drury cabinet will be held on de cember is and elections one week later the 22nd it is to b hoped that every one of the new ministers will be returned by acclamation as there seems to be a desire on the part of the besfpooplc of all political shades to give the drury government a fair tria it will be graceful too if the premier and the other two cabinet members without scats will e elected without contests when some u f o seats are re linquished to them advice is generally regarded as a cheap commo dity but at the meeting of the open forum jn toroqto the other dayw d gregory who has been intimately associated with the politics of this county for a number of years gjve the hon mr druryana tho members of his cabinet a series of wholesome suggestions his address was entitled a programme for the new government- the recommendations presented advocated the rank and file leading the government and not tho government leading the people dealing first with administrative matters ho pointed out that there was a danger of the new government attenuating too much they were un tried men and tho province should nf expect very much from them the first session in fact in mr gregorys opinion the less they did until they felt sfire of themselves tho better but nevertheless tho people would insist upon their doing something to show it was worth their while putting them into office premier drury should endeavor to dispose of the government house and then assume the pre rogatives of the head of tho government elected by iho people and bo the individual- to welcome notables and other similarduties ho avould further stamp out profiteering appoint a provincial purchasing agent to secure all supplies of tho public institutions refuse to appoint judges on salary ob chairmen of
