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.

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.

This fact ! was brought out a few days ago at i the sectional meeting of industrial .and engineering chemists, American , Chemical society at the university of , Chicago. The process of preparing such animal food was described by E. C. Sherrard and .G W| Blanco.0 White sawdust finely ground, is treated under steam pressure with diluted sulphuric acid .in a large boiler," known as a digester. This breaks up the fibre and extracts the ��������� sugar To prevent injurious effects the -acid is neutralized by adding lime liquid thus obtained when boiled down is rich. in sugar, and when mixed with the fibre produces a moist feed containing about 15.per cent, of water i:r which form it is fed to dairy cows. At the forest products' laboratory-" United States department of agriculture, Madicon, Wis., . experiments proved that three cows thrived on t'bis sawdust ration, and not only gave sweet milk, but increased in weight. The result was so satisfactory that the government -has" decided to take up the matter on a largo scale at tlie experiment stations throughout tho country ,and furnish a detailed report on tho value of hyrolyzed sawdust as cattle food.���������Ex.

Government statistics prove it.

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. ' ' j According to an estimate procured i by the " London Times" there is : only one doctor for every 150,000 ��������� Inhabitants in ' Galacia. This year ;the mortality reached the, alarming figure,of sixty per cent. j In Jugo-Slavia tho Union rntor- natioualc for the .saving of Children found 500,000 war, orphans of whom 1100,000 had neither/afher nor mother. ��������� , I , Doctor Livingsto.no Farrniul, Chair 'man of the Central'Committee of the 'American Red Cross, who has just returned from Europe, states. The chief problem is the children of Eur- ' ope. Red Cross estimates indicate 'at least 11,000,000 children in Eur- lope now fatherless from war, and who,face the ������cx't few years without ���������hope' of adequate care unless outside assistance is given. 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.

The rest of the district is rich, in metals, but has no coal: There are throe known bituminous coal areas In Canada, two of then or island:; at the extreni'MJes of th; country.

The mines of the Crow's Nest were openco in. JSHS. since which time they have produced millions of tons of coal. The annual production is now in excels of 3,000,000 tons. The following figurco, giving the experts to the United States alone, will g''V.e some idea of the present produetjm and potential resources of this co:il field: In 191G the coal exports to the United States amounted to 585.187 ton's, valued at $1,277,417; in 1917. 341,518 tons, worth $1,200,440; in 1918, 507,229 tons, valued at $1930.- 9G3; and in 1919, 534,675, worth $2,- 116,652.

' ��������� *������ 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." It is no argument and to say the least, disrespectful. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Stewart were at iBellingham on Sunday.
