(2).  The question of Prohibition    or Government. Control  will come before the people of this Province on the 20th  and the.majority will carry the day and have legislation  enacted to correspond to tiie public opinion of the people.  The Proclamation reads:  WIN CM  DO  YOU  PREFER?  The present "Prohibition Act"?   ���������  or  An Act to provide for. Government Control and  .   Sale in Sealed Packages of Spiritons    and Malt  Liquors?  The pi-csent Prohibiten Act we know, with all its good  and its ev'rls, and there is no need to enlarge on it, as all  who have observed the working of the Act know whether  it deserves the name of Prohibition or not.    But all know  that the Prohibitionists are not satisfied with it.1  , "Government Control and Sale in    Sealed Packages of  Spiritous and Malt Liquors, means if it means anything  that all liquors ���������with malt or spirits in it will be'sold in  Sealed Packages by the government, at government stores.  All should come out to vote if their names are on the  voters'.list.    The.province wants a ninety per cent, 'vote-  at least of the people if possible, so that the government  will know how to. legislate.    Those who do not vote will .  'have their names.struck from the list and in future if they  want to vote will have to make application again to have  their names placed on the list, so it is understood -by the  Act. , '   ' '   ���������" ,  .

Bates, Editor and Proprietor  FRIDAY,   OCTOBER   15,   1020  R is reported lliata telegram  was received at the Nelson  Good Roads League last week  from Victoria regarding the  provincial government's attitude ,in'connection with the inter pi ovincial highway, and the  itiuvprokUioM was that the gov  ernmoi-i. would not build it at  the present time���������not until  Mich time as the financial condition of the province, was, in  Luc opinion of the Oliver gov-  c.-nmoiit, able to stand it.  Dr. King wasrat the meeting  Si Nelson;  John Oliver was in  v   i^li./.!  having returned from  a vikic to Kanvioops and Revel-  stoke.     ;  The events of the meeting  are familiar to  but the question  any -off us;  ihut arises is, who fathered the  tele-gram. Wc have not heard  ci anyone that was willing to  chunkier the responsibility, but  it has been intimated that Pre-  r:iier Oliver knows ail about it.  if that be the case there is a  nigger on the woodpile somewhere Dr. King has not yet  made any public statement in  regard to the responsibility of  the telegram. Premier Oliver  and Dr. King seldom or never  travel together���������only friends  travel together.  When will   the   government  undertake to build-the   trans-  provincial highway?    Not until  such time as the P. G. E. has  been completed, should the Oliver government still be in pow  cr then, whiclijs absolutely uncertain.    All the   money   that  can be borrowed or taken from  other departments must at the  present time be used up on the  P. U. 13., to open up a railway  leading to a fine'part of the province we are assured and believe such to be the case, but  .when it comes  to    developing  the province as a whole and assist  in  production  we  do not  believe that the opening of the  Peace country is quite as important as the development of  the more .settled parts   of   the  Fraser Valley,   the    Okanagan  valley,  Vancouver Island,, or a  number of other parts   of   the  province    of    13.    C.        Good  railway  communication  means  aiSo  mo   necessity    of    fairly  good  mods  to  enable  the settlers to reach the railway. How  :o-ig then y/iil it be before the  iiiicrproviucia! highway will be  built? Wot for at least a decade  ���������as the Peace River country is  ammunition to withstand'   the  attacks of the 'man who has a  real grievance against Premier  Oliver, dating from the day of  the .Liberal,nomination in Mission City in 19IG.    The'day Mv.  Oliver awaited the call of the  convention to where he sat on  the    shady    side    of    Charlie  Croke's. veranda.    He had    already stole the march on Maxwell, but at about the hour o,  noon when he reached the con  vention and later accepted th .  nomination he did his friend r  powerful wrong, which was noi  ever    straightened  .'out    thoi  oughiy and honest recompense  made, so far as the public now  knows. ' Mr. Smith puts the Oliver government on a par with  the  Bowser  government,    and  we have only to listen to.Mr.  Oliver to know   how    awfully  bad that is,' but then everybody  does not believe it.  Then on account of prestige  with his own followers and the  fear of , Mr. Maxwell Smith's  guns, we say we almost believe  that Premier Oliver will not be  a candidate at the next provincial election in Dewdney. We  might of course be wrong but  time will tell even if Premier  .Oliver does not tell us beforehand.  81s  J. H. .JONES  Funeral  Director  AGENT   FOR   HEADSTONES  'hone Connection.

The Fraser Valley Football  League of the central ' Fraser  Valley seem to have started out  for a good year's sports. Football is recognized as a game  that the young men thoroughly  enjoy and is a good healthy and  invigorating game. If we believe in good clean football let  us support them in all the ways  we can. Encouragement will  help them to bring the trophy  home.  uhouid do well to look into this  matter. Unless' a man pays  taxes on, property he does not  directly contribute to the cost  of tlie education of his children.' It was estimated that in  Maple Ridge it cost the municipality $55 to educate each  child each, year, and we presume ���������wihout going into the  question thoroughly that that  would be an average cost in the  Fraser Valley. Look over our  school attendance and see how  many boys and girls there come  rrorn homes where no taxes are  directly paid for their education by their parents. Our j  schools are costing a great deal j  of money these days. The de- j  mands of the day are such that '���������  to eliminate any of the expense j  would ��������� be to make our ��������� system |  inferior and not meeting present day conditions. We believe  a good education desirable, and  a necessity, but why should the  taxes fall on only those who  are unfortunate enough to own  property? We boast of our  free educational system in the  province' but is it not getting  too free? In very little else in  life do people get- something-  valuable for nothing  are away behind in their orders, owing to shortage of  workers, raw materials, inefficient transportation and'  other causes. In the meantime, Central is supplying service with the means at her disposal. She is working harder  than ever, realizing that the telephone is a great factor in  social and business life. To her belongs the credit of assuming greater burdens because of shortage of equipment.  When you telephone, think of her and what she is doing.

Working in populations greatly  weakened by lack of food and clothing, exposure, and tho' mental anxieties of war, contagious diseases, par  ticularly typhus, have made their  .apearance and are doing deadly work  among the men, women and children of the stricken countries. The  increased privations, due to Winter  conditions, will give a further impetus to the spread of disease, and the  expert advisers of the Red Cross  predict that, unless steps .are taken  to check it, the epidemic of typhus  now raging may threaten the whole  world on account of the rapidity  with which it spreads.  In the great area between the Baltic and the Black Sea there is appalling misery. This territory includes the new Halt ic States, Poland  Czccho-Slovaks, Ukraine, Austria,'  Hungary, Rouinania, Montenegro.  Albania, Sorvia and Eastern .aissia  Doctors, nurses and hospital equipment are pitifully inadequate. Food  nml'.clothing are insufficient to make  lifo (olerabio and disease, bereavement, and suffering arc present in  practically  every   household.  In   Western   Kussia.   Poland     and  Great  Galicia, typhus has been raging for  years. Instead of diminishing, it is  spreading, as the following figures  show.  Poland   and  Galicia  Year Tphus Cases  191(1   -34,538  1917    :    43,840  '1918    ��������� :   97,082  1919 ' :    231,20(1  1920  .'  *280,000  * (Based on monthly average available. '  Typhus is an intensely destructive  and rapidly spreading disease and its  extension throughout the world can  only be arrested by the introduction  of enforcement of'strict'hygiene and  sanitation" iu    affected .populations.  The ��������� infection is carried by parasites in the clothing, and clothing  material is so scarce in the suffering  countries of, Europe that the poorest  people are driven to wearing the infected garments of those who have  died of the disease.  Typhus is running its,course in  Bessarabia without effective means  of control. Owing to the low salaries paid to State Doctors, and lack  of moans of transportation, tho rural  districts are largely without medical  attendance. Everywhere there is a  lack of soap, linen and clothes. In  Roumania medical supplis cost      .12  50   times,   and   in  14  times    normal  times,   in   Poland  Czech 0,-Slovakia  cost.  In Ukaraine in villages, of 2,000  to 3,000 people, sometimes half the  population have been taken ill at'the  same time. Some <loc!o:s have had  to treat areas in which there were  20,000 to 30,000 typhus patients at  once, and could get no medical supplies. ������������������  In addition to typhus, which is the  most  prevalent   disease,  tubercolosls  .dysenfry, scarlet fever,    and    small-  \ pox have taken strong hold upon (lie  .weakened constitutions of millions of  j people.     In   Jtouuiania   tuberculosis  :is spreading in an alarming and unprecedented manner.

Poland has'500-  000  orphans, most of whom are living in camps  for destitute refugees.'  In     Cze'cho-Slocalda,     Austria     and  Hungary there arc at least 1,000.000  orphans of whom  5,000 were found  i  recently   wandering   like   animals   in  tho  itulheniaif Mountains.

'      ��������� *������  PUTTING  SELLING  ARGUMENTS'   INTO  BANK   ADVEUTISING  More Progressive Ideas Are Now  Generally   Favored  A TYPICAL CASE  Effective   Campaign   Conducted  Fruit-District of British  Columbia to Sell Local  Service  in  While the advertising system generally employed by the banks in the  past has been to get out something  stereotyped, which was "safe and  sane" and could be used indiscriminately in all fields, there has rer  cently been developing' a tendency to  get some real selling.value into the  "copy"���������an. appeal to customers and  prospective customers in particular  fields. The following is from a paper  published in the Fraser Valley in  British Columbia, and it is typical of  the more advanced stylo of bank advertising:  Fruit growers' who have to return  money to their customers for fruit  not shipped will find our Money Orders a convenient and safe means of  remitting. They are sold at the following rates, and arc payable at any  bank in Canada.  $5.00 and under   3(5  \ Over $5, and not exceeding $ I 0.-6(5  I Over HO and not exceeding $o0..10������  Over $30 and not exceeding $50-15(5  Customers of this bank, may if  desired send us a list ot' remittances  required and we will mail them the  necessary Money Orders, debiting  their account with the cost.  The head of the publicity department of one of the leading Canadian  banks tells me that there is now a  more general desire on the part ol  the aggressive banks to encourage  this style of advertising. The directing officers of our banks are not yet  prepared  to go so  far as  they have  5JROPS  STOPS  gone   in   the   united   States   in   merchandising service,   but-certainly     a  slait is being made in I hat dived ion  and   methods   are   now   employed   to  get business which'would have' beau  regarded as startling, not to say undignified,  by the bankers of even a  decade ago.       And, as i  have previously   expressed,   I   believe   that   the  keen competition in     the    Canadian  banking licld will be responsible for ���������  still longer strides,in this direction.  With a number of banks today the  question is not one of trying to keep  to  the  old   stereoyped, style   but   to  get the  co-operation' of    the'   local  managers  to   conduct a   real   selling,  publicity  campaign.    Of  course' this"  must be cione with great care.      The  usual   course is  to  get the  ideas  of  the manager as to" what will sell the _  bank's services in his particular field  and then adopt these ideas in a series  of advertisements  or "to  incorporate  the ideas of a number of managers  i.  in a broader series, suitable to sections of the country or communities  in which conditions and requirements  are similar.  In some cases managers are permitted to conduct their own campaigns so far as copy is concerned.  This is a very good arrangement and  usually leads to splendid results, but  in the great majority of cases it is  advisable to have the co-operation of  head office on points of technique.  It is highly important to have the interest and the co-operation of the  manager if the best results aro to be'  obtained from advertising, and if will  undoubtedly be to the interest of the  latter and his branch to give the matter careful attention.���������Tlie .Financial  Post. , ���������    ..    .

Que of the great points made by the Prohibitionists is  that four jails have been closed out of five. This will bear  investigation. Formerly when a man was found drunk  en the streets he was put in jail and after the first offence  probably kept there for thirty clays or so. Now if a man  is found with liquor in his possession it is not so much a  question of going to jail at the province's expense as it  is of paying a fine. Thus we find the jail not such an important factor as.the money the man can pay. In other  words the government is now after the money rather than  keeping a man in jail at the province's expense and the  jails are not so "popular"; money is plentiful. Then have  we not the prominent fact before us that while one jail in  New Westminster was closed a larger one was opened at  Okalla?  The literature and advertisements in favor of Prohibition have been just as misleading of facts as it is possible  to be.    The truth should at all times be given.  Whether supporters of Premier Oliver or not in politics  most people will frown at the method adopted by the Prohibitionists in their advertising our Premier as a "Liquor  Dealer" The advertisement has appeared in our daily  papers representing the premier standing at the saloon  door."
