Arthur-Kenora Political Asso- ciation will be held in the Town- ship hall here next Wednesday, February 11th, at seven o'clock in the evening. In addition to the election of officers, the question of developing from a United Farmer organization and adopting the broader principles of the Progres- sive party will be decided. All those well disposed towards the movement are invited to attend, and may take part in the discus- sion. May Join with Progressives While afi influential body of On- tario farmers still firmly believe that the separate identity of the U.F.O. political party should be upheld, opinion is growing that while the Clubs should continue to function as before, the political end should be merged in the wider Progressive movement, thus gain- ing in strength from co-operation of those of other groups in sympa- thy with the general aims. While a U.F.QO. party is open to a charge of class and sectional motives, amalgamation with the Progres- sives would give national scope to their policies by including those of other occupations with similar political ideals. fved at next Wednesday will be of no less importance to Labour than to the U.F.O. division of the :xisting alliance. Delegation from Kenora, A. R. Hutchison, the President, is especially desirous that the im- sortance of this meeting be appre- ciated by those interested and that a good attendance be present, to settle the question decisively. A number of Kenora gentlemen will 1ccompany him to Dryden for the meeting, and a big gathering from here. should be. present to meet them.

The decision ar-: Regular Meeting | Dryden Council held its regular eh ing in the Town Hall Tuesday evening, Mayor Pitt in the chair, and the full Council being present. The contract for wood for the Town Hall was awarded to J. McWilson, | whose tender of $200 for the thirtyfive cords was the lowest. The question of official measuring of wood delivered in Town was met by ordering the following notice: -- "For the benefit of wood sellers § i i { For and buyers, anyone selling wood may have his load measured at the Town Hall by H. Collins, and get a ticket of measurement. Anyone buying wood can govern * themselves accordingly. 1 The application of Rous Dechert and - Rigbey to audit the Town Bocks at' the published price of $110 was ac- cepted. 4 Mr A. Burton was appointed to the Public Library Board, in place of Coun. Latimer, who is ineligible on account of his being a member of Council. This completes the personnel of that body. S. Bartlett, electrician, appeared to furnish information with regard to electric light and power matters re- quired for the information of the Council. As a result a few changes were made to improve checking up of current by users, principal of which was a motion-- "That no stoves or other electric appliances be permitted to be used where a flat rate was grant- ed." Ax application by M. Bailey to have! a light installed for emérgency use in case of accident to the lights or picture machine in the theatre, was granted, and the electrician instruet- ed to have the necessary work done. J ETE hi A ne a Sm Lower Telephone Rates? The Mayor again introduced the | question of collecting telephone rates nonthly along with the electric light, which he thought would improve col- lections and be more convenient to the | ser. This led to the question of rates. t was pointed out that the purpose of J Council in taking over the Senha vas to increase the number of sub-' seribers, this result not having been tained so fo More users would increase the value | of every Ri by adding to the number of people within their reach, and up to a certain point would tend to lower the cost. If the switch-board were used to full capacity, the rate might be lowered to $1.75 per month. There are only about a hundred tele- shones in operation in town, and it appears quite moderate to expect that at least fifty more householders could be found willing to put in the 'phone at the lowered rate per month. The matter was referred to tha tele-! shone committee for investigation, nd the monthly system will be adopted as ! soon as practicable, while the rate will © be adjusied down to the lowest Imn.it compatible with safety, according to. the number of users. : { JUNIORS DEFEAT "MULES A better attendance than usual saw the hockey match Thursday night.
