Somme) (sree LIQUOR CONTROL BILL UNLIKE- LY TO APPEAR AT FIRST SESSION It became "practically certain yes- terday that the Government's new Liquor Control Bill will not be least two weeks after the session opens, and that the measure will not become operative until May 1, at the earliest, with May 15 the Probable date. The bill itself, is still in a state of preparation. A number of clauses have been drafted, but a good many others have yet to be. While, ac- cording to Attorney-General Price, the Government is experiencing no difficulty in drafting the bill, it is giving every point careful consider- ation with a view to making it as adequate to the public needs as it is possible to do so. On completion it will have to go before the Cabinet for discussion, As a consequence the Legislature will be sitting two weeks or more before the measure comes in of rthe final analysis debate and its enactment, at the expense of the On- tario Temperance Act. Another important factor that may delay the placing in operation of the bill is the purchase of Government liquor stocks. It was learned yes- terday that liquor, in quantities suf- ficient to meet the public demand once the permit system stressed by Premier Ferguson comes into effect has yet to be ordered. Filling of these necessary orders will take con- siderable time, so it is hardly possible that May 1 will see the new law in operation. The question of cheaper liquor is much to the fore just now. Speaking at Leamington, during his campaign, Premier Ferguson inferred that a cut in the present prices in Government shops might be made with the in- auguration of the new law, with a view to increasing the bootlegger's difficulty of establishing a profitable trade. Karl Homuth, Independent Labor member for South Waterlqg, has aimed a similar blow at the boot- legger from another angle, Homuth yesterday filed with A. C. Lewis, Clerk of the Assembly, notice of the following resolution: "That in the opinion of this House and of the Government, reduction should be made in the Excise Tax and in the duty on all malt and spirituous liquors by the Dominion Government in order that there may be a sub- stantial cut in the retail price; and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Dominion Government in each Province that has inaugurated Gov- ernment sale of spirituous and malt- liquors, namely, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec." There has been considerable specu- lation regarding the nature of the Government's liquor bill. Definite announcement of the Prime Minister during the campaign will be fulfilled, it is understood, and incorporated in the measure. But the Government, apparently, will make no detailed an- nouncement on the completed bill un- til it is brought before the House. --Toronto Globe eee () (meee ELECTED WARDEN Reeve A. W.

His birthday was celebrated by his admirers last Tuesday, the 26th of This little poem, seldom quoted, will give an idea of Burns' wonderful com- mand of language to 'express his To a Kiss Humid seal of soft affections, Tenderest pledge of future bliss, Dearest tie of young connexions, Love's first snowdrop, virgin kiss! Speaking silence, dumb confession,- Passion's birth, and infant's play, Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, Glowing dawn of brighter day. Sorrowing joy, adieu's last action, When lingering lips no more must join, ! What.-words can ever speak affection, So thrilling and sincere as thine. me 00 "ROBERT BURNS" He came to-bless our common lot, This son of ancient coil, Who never for an hour forgot His ancestry of toil. / Blue blood forsooth has missed his veins, But in the scarlet stream Humanity had cleansed her brains, And made his gift supreme. Thy love of brotherhood of man, Lay near his honest heart; He reared his structure on a plan Devoid of gloss or art.

Two torrid battles on runners up at the old Arena last Thursday night between four hockey teams armed to the teeth with crook- ed hickory clubs and using an old rubber -biscuit for ammunition. The loyal fans that were out are still raving over the duel that'took place between the four teams of the Rural Hockey League. They sure know how to give a fellow that craves for ex- citement, his money's worth, with not a dull moment from gong to gong, with a little applesauce between acts, such as threatening protests, etc. which of course wouldn't occurr if the said protesters teams happen to win. The opening game of the double header was between Honeydale Cou- gars and Seagrave Maroons, which the latter won 8-0. The Cougars were out to break the Maroons win- ning streak and put up a dogged fight but the Maroons were holding up that song "They, shall not pass". With Ingram playing a great game in the nets they were unbeatable. He makes the Seagrave fans forget all about Scott, last year's goaler who is play- ing for Sonya Black Hawks. The Cougars sent up their whole team in an attempt to bulge the twine, with the result that the Maroons broke away and had only Cougar net tender to beat on all three goals. The Cou- gars surely miss their old goaler, Bob Wells, The three Kings on the forward line, each had.an ace in the hole, the three brothers each getting a goal. . The second duel was a real Donny, brook, when the Sonya Black Hawks swooped down from the north in an from the shooting sticks of '| attempted holdup of The Bakers, ue ot eA were met with a fusillade of shots ave ..
