residents of tho town line between nelson and trafalgar south of milton waited on the township council recently and requested that the townships of nelson and trafalgar supplement subscriptions promised by residents dollar for dollar for a good stone road on that line they also asked that the work proceed at once the farmers along the two aides of this road have subscribed about five thousand dollars and tra falgar agreed to pay their share provided nelson does the same it is most generous of these farmers to subscribe as they have done and they deserve the promised township assistance no public utility more certainly enhances farm values than good roads easily available for those on the farms sir william hearsts advice with reference to voting on the referendum is well worth following he said the ontario temperance act did splendid service for the country during the war it 15 doing just as well during the reconstruction period and it will ho beneficial under normal times he said however if the first question on the ballot is an swered in the afflrmativo the ontario temperance act will be repealed and the old license low as it existed prior to 1010 will be renewed in that event thc votes on the other questions would be of no eftect and would not even need to bo counted it will be safest therefore to vote in the negative in answer to this first question

think seriously about agriculture rural canada says the idea of making a special effort to promote agriculture has spread in the united states from state to state until forty two of thc states now have standing committees upon agriculture and are carry ing on more or less active campaigns six years ago the state bankers association created a standing commission of seven members to push the movement tbo state bankers association of indiana carried on a state silocampaign which resulted in the budding of thousands of new silos bankers over there havo loaned money more freely for the

ballot will take u ipt pf explaining barrister h fc snider chief enumer ator for west hamilton has recently handed out his opinion on the matter ho says that tho second third and fourth questions on the ballot pa perl relate to tho amendment of tho act the first question relates to the repeal of tho act if an elector votes ycs on the first question obviously it will be useless to voto yes on any of tho three following questions for if one is in favor of the repeal of tho act one cannot favor its amendment as all four questions musr be answered by tho elector either affirmatively or negatively in order to save his ballot it follows that in tho opinion of mr smdcr one who votes for the repeal of the act must also vofe no on the second third and fourth questions in order 10 bo consistent but must ho do so in order to save bis ballot that is a njorejmportnta question than the question of consistency it mr snider is right then tho framing of the referendum ballot has been clum sily done an elector may desire the repeal of the ontario temperance act and yet may not desirp a reversion to thc license system exactly as it was before the ontario tcmpcranco act system came into operation he may desire to havo light beer sold in standard hotels or ho may wish to have light bear sold through government agencies or ho may wish all of these things as well as the repeal of ihe ontario tcmpcranco act the only class of electors whose course in regard to tho referendum 13 perfectly dear is tho prohibitionist class the prohibitionists can vote no on all four questions and know that ho
