when great britain asks for a credit to buy our surplus food stuffs wo should stand all together and aim to assure the success of the effort to provide for the credit through the victory loan a direct re sponsibility rests upon the man on the farm and also the man in the town each must shoulder hrssharc of the responsibility by lending to the utmost even the countries overseas some of them at least see tho great benefit of the measure of prohibition of the liquor traffic put into force during the war in norway wartime prohibition operating since decem ber 1016 and forbidding the sale and private impor tation of spirits and strong liquors was made per manent by plebiscite netd last week- the country has been greatly excited over the question and pre mier knudscn announced that be would resign

the women tnnyvotc on these by laws bdt only those wbosown property in the munici pality and whose namesare 00 the voters list pre pared for the election on these bylaws the progress of tho town from the standpoint of health conveni ence sanitary conditions industrial advancement and the general spirit of local loyalty to actons interests will induce electors generally to support the bylaws wc

victory loan and it must be pushed through to success with courage determination and absolute unanimity if canada is to prove worthy of her opportunity the success of the farmers in the political cam

at the head of the organization will lead them to promptly realize that this country needs a wellbal anced government with equal consideration for all the dethronment of the old parties may eventually

friday principal grant announced that the plan to remove the college to norval had been shelved indefinitely that being tho case it is mani festly due by the college authorities or the govern ment of the province to recoup the township of esquesing the amount that would have been collected for taxes on tho six hundred acres of land selected by upper canada college near norval as a new sito for the college and exempted from taxation on the ground of being property owned for educational pur poses tho course of holding this land for six or eight years without taxes has been very unfair to the township sortie opposition to the proposed waterworks for acton has arisen through a misapprehension as to the basis of the frontage assessment citizens own ing corner lots have been led to believe that both frontages will be assessed if water mains are laid on bpth the letter of explanation of plans supply and cost issued by the council last week distinctly states that any property owner may have water for the asking and by paying frontage tax on one frontage only ot his property the matter of levying for services is wholly in the bands of the council for under the local improvement act on a twothirds vote of the councirwater mains may be laid on any street this plan is the reverse of the act respecting the laying of cement pavements canada wants intelligent citizens prominent among

to enable the government of canada to continue its system of credits to great britain france belgium and other countries and at the same time pay cash to the canadian producer on these credits our

tho homj the great convenience of running water the boon of lavatories a convenience which assures comfort and sanitation and is especially valuable during times of sickness provides adequate fire protection lower insurance rates will increase the values of property tn the municipality and will give acton a prestige in the eyes of prospective residents and manufacturing industries which is now lacking tho question has been asked over and over again the past week or two why arc the citizens who already possess pri vate waterworks systems affording thwi all the usual conveniences so anxious to see waterworks in stalled in acton frankly the interest is wholly un selfish in each case these citizens realize so fully the great advantages and comfort of waterworks in their homes that they are anxious that every other citizen should enjoy these advantages as well by the installation of a public waterworks system the cost to the average citizen will be but a tithe of tnc expense incurred by those who have installed private systems no person whotiaa ever enjoyed the privi leges afforded by waterworks fails to appreciate their worth or would not eagerly embrace the opportunity of securing
