our local drug stores by being 3nte with the herald this dan be attribute to a variety of factors samor machine trouble a heavy run of job work and more particularly flbe lateness of new and advertising matter may we impress on eeryone the fact that four people cannot turn ant an eight page paper in one day or even in two days it takes roughly am hour a column to set reading matter on the linotype machine this wtaterial then has to be proof read and corrections made which takes possibly another half hour a conservative estimate of time spent in fttese operations would thus be fifty hours a week add to this the time ipent in collecting and writing juws and about five hours far making up the pape- and you will begin to realhte toow much work is involved printing the eight pages takos another ive btours when all goes well and the final operations of folding and mailing sentall perhaps two or three hours work we are trying and shall continue o try to get tlie herald in the

wwekend guests phone us on monday if jour daughter is married on atturday give us the news an monday rooming it everyone cooperates the herald will be out in good time on wednesday lest we forget are we too prone to emember our war veterans in a spiritual sather than a material sense is our annual remembrance day just a imv for remembering or is it the summing up of three hundred and fcxtyilve days of remembering in a practica way these are questions which we the people of canada must ask hhriyit hu wnfttrand when rernemtoranoe day is observed throughou be dominion many veterans of the last great war grew disillusioned with a society which cheered them as heroes returned from battle yet mild not absorb them into a peace time world there are still veterans of the last great war who are urumploy tl or working at part time jobs for scanty remuneration is it fair that obese men who were willing to lay down their lives in the cause or free ssom and were fortunate enough to escape the prussian guns should be enable to reestablish themselves in peace time occupations and enjoy this jcreedom boon we will have a new group of veterans to welcome home it is verhaps too late to do much about our last war problems it is not too teste to proth by previous mistakes and lay some sensible plans tor the mature if one single veteran of this war ccmes home with the desire to work and finds that he cannot get a job then the fight has been in vain the wrong approach wi h all due respect to the good intentions of the wctu we wk not agree with their method ol approaching the liquor problem to wangle out one commodity pointing out thai the people of canada spent wake hundred and eight million dollars on tl is in the past year and de tatace from this that one hundred and eight mlllon dollars was wasted is calse reasoning in the first place a large portion of this money goes directly to sbe government in the form of a direct liquor tax then we mus member the workers who are employed in the manufacture of liquors wa well as the selling organizations which put it on the market here c have thousands of gainfully occupied people ft ho would be looking for r means of livelihood u the legalized sale of liquors was stopped there is no more reason for singling out liquor as a commodity to restricted o financial grounds anj mere than cigarettes or soft inks or going to the movies or any other form of entertainment which t not necessary to our existence the moral side of course presents a different picture it is true sat the drinking of intoxicating liquor has in many cases led to per anal and social tragedy it is just as true that the driving of automo lies has led to like tragedies but because of this no one thinks of re jtsicung the sale of automobiles the wctu might better spend its time in a campaign to get wple to drink sensibly a friend once remarked how foolish it was to t down hi a beverage room and drink six or seven glasses of beer when tm would never think of drinking the same quantity of cokes or ginger e a campaign of moderation rather than abstinence would be more be and e b1 eve more effective as a means of discouraging ex drinking i

mark and missed it what would you say would you say that there was no mart to hit or that it couldnt be it or that the tone was so mlssnappen that it would not carry true to aim or would ou be candid and say that the fa 1 re was due to your own lack of skill and if you really wanted to hit tlie mark would you make but a single throw would you not keep on trying untl you hit the mark prob ably as a consequenre of improved skill in throwing stones yet there are men who use adver using but once and who when the hoped for results are not instantly nb talned declare that ad ertlstnn is no ffood or

unless it is ac companied by free transportation if parliament will act quickly enough free transportation can b granted the members who are themiclves ac- cuatomed to travelling on pass be tween

utjobeh that as many as poa ible will be given leave thetrwll o officers int the ymca will make every effort to give them a merry christmas but it would be fair for parliament to make a special christ
