Editor , BOOST DONT DKSTROY At municipal nominations each year in most of the smaller urban centre.s, we have noticed that it is the custom to attack the council of that year on their work, which was accomplished during that lime, and to ask questions su(rg'''stivc of wrong doing. Our councilmen are only human, and it â- would be a good thing to have those who ask these questions to assume office for one year and secure the view from the other side of the fence. We know for a fact that these same men would not take office for fear of the same treatment to themselves, "which they acorded the retiring coun- cil. Our local legislators do the best they can for the town's interests, and there i." very little satisfaction for men who have the proper qualifi- cations to stand up and receive that abuse. This is only a small com- munity, and it is to our own inter- esyk to work together for the good of the community, and not attempt ti destroy and eject from office those who are workinR in its best interests, and Very few, if any, of any council that we have ever had, had ikj*: the best interests of the village at htr.rt. Let us work together for a better com munity, boosting our village at all times, not in our own selfish inter- ests, hut in order to build up a place where a community spirit will abound. AN HONORED OFFICI.AI Vote Hogarth for Reeve l.adies and C.entlemeu â€" .Alter having- served yop for the last tive years, two years as councillor and three as deputy-reeve. 1 now solicit your votes and influence on my behalf as your reeve for. 1926. Wishing you all a happy antl prosperous New Year. J. A. HOGAR'ini Vote for John A. Davis To the Electors of Artemesia; â€" I have been requested to stand for t:ie louncil of 1926, and I am in the field for your fa-'or in electing ms to that office. If elected, I will give Vote Cameron Reeve To the Electors of Artemesia: â€" Ladies and (ientlenien: â€" I am a candidate for the office of Reeve for the Twp of Artemesia for ihe year 1926. If elected, 1 will practice sound economy, and endeav our to effect a reduction of expendi- tures in both twp and county man- agement. I am opposed to the principal of County Financing, as followed by the County Council of 1925, that of add- ing to the bonded Indebtedness of the County to the extent 6f $115 OOO by the issue of debentures for the purpose of defraying the cost of county road construction, and there- by adding to the annual interest charges of the county by $6750. I am in favour of abolishing sta- ttute labor. In order to receive the govt, grant of 30 per cent, on al' twp road expenditure. In the year 1925, Artemesia twp had a levy value for all monej expended by me. of .3,100 days of statute labor which ishing the rater-iv.'rs of Artamcsia at a valuation of onTy $1.50 per day -' . ^ ......

Those who got ahead of the game will make well out of what they have, but the total loss will be very large and many will be seriuu.sly cripplcil. EFFICIENCY On Monday, the retirement from public service took place of one who* has served the township of Artemesia faithfully and Well. Mr. T. R. Mc- Kenzie, who has been in the pub- lic eye as a councillor. Dcputy-Keeve, and Rccvc for twenty-one years, deci- ded to step out and allow younger men to come forward for the office. Mr. McKenzie has received all the honors that the citizens have been able to bestow upon him, having be^i sent back last .January, and then se- cured the Wardenship of the County of Grey. Mr. McKcnzio heartilj' thanked the electors of Artemesia for , their kindness to him in the past, and the confidence they have placed in his ability to serve them, and stated that he en.joyed the work like no other, and had decided to rest on the laurels he has attained. It speaks well for any oublic official to carry «n office so long, with only one or two years in which he was defeat- ed at the polls, and to come back again with renewed vigor, and receive the confidence of the people again. No doubt Mr. McKenzie will always carry foad memories of his work in the township of Artemesia, and will forget any unpleasantness which might have cropped up in that time. A Dutchman was recently expati- ating on the folly of giving women the vote as ha.s been done in England and Canath. He declared that in Holland, there was a greater effi- ciency among the female sex where they did not possess that doubtful privilege. He pointed out the fact that the Dutch woman sits with one foot on the spinning wheel and the other she uses to rock the cradle con- taining the twins; with her hands she knits socks for her husband, while on her knee she rests a book from which she is improving her mind by â- study. And all the, while she sits on a cheese pressing it for market. ^ gn,],^, Greater efficiency than this has no woman. have been $2910.00. The twp. in 1925 had .320 or more, motor cars, in use in the twp by the residents, whose combined license fee and gas tax which was not less than $5500.00 was collected by tM Govt. About $050.00 of this amount was returned to us through the 50 per cent griuit on county road mainten- ance in the twp, the balance, almost all of which might have been ours, went elsewhere. Jam in favow of the following plan for twp road management:-Crc- ate a general maintenancefud of about S6000.00 which. on the 120 miles of twp road would mean $50.00 per mile. This would require on the twp jisscssmenl of Sl.ICO.OOO, 4 mills on the dollar plus tii(> Govt, grant. Twenty overseer.^ (instead of eighty-five as at present) would over see the work, which in all divisions would proceed about the same time, in early summer, which in my opinion is the proper time to build roads. A supt. must be appointed whose duty it is to supervise all work done by overseers in order that the work may be made 'tis uniformly good as outlined, as much work can be per- formed in a better and more uniform way, and a saving made of 2 or 2^ mills in our tax rate for tlvp pur- poses. The report of the highway' Dept. of Ont. gives as its 'report up to and including 1925. No. of tov.-nships receiving aid are 244 out of :m. No. of townships, retaining statute labor is 71. Which number shall Artemesia twp be among in 1926? Ladies and Gentlemen: I ask your careful consideration of the position I take in this problem pressing for a solution, and if I am honest with you and my ielf I can take no other. If you can place youf confidence in me I shall deem it an honour and a privilege to serve you as your reeve in 1926. .Wishing you all a prosperous New Year: I am sincerely ALEX CAMERON Dated Decemebr 29th, 1925 SPRINGHILL Sr. 4th Classâ€"Howard Ferris, Lola Blacl burn Bessie Beard) Florence Best, Willie White, Audrey Brown.

DEPENDABLE Auctioneer Ser vice The pay for the suiit should not be over $4. per day, and the overseers $.3.00 per dav for actual time employ- ed, I believe the success or failure of thie system will depend largely on the integrity, fairness and ability of the men in whose hands the coh- trol of this work is placed. It will therefore be the duty of the coun- cil, who shall appoint both Supt. and overseers, to choose wisely and with- out fear or favour. The work shall be as evenly and fairly distributed as under the statute J^ibor system. More money will be available to pay for work without increasing tax- ation.
