On Tuesday the Women's Institute met at the homn of one of its most enthusiaa'ic members, Mr.* Lafayette iiiids/orow, Fiiurth Lino.

Much ri^gret was felt that, owing to a death in the family, Ui.s. McKenziu was no' able ii be pri'sent. Mrs. Badgerow served a ibiinty supper, af"er which all drove home, fi:eling that a very enjoyable a'teruoou had been spent. Di'. Murray once had a homestead near Milestone, Sask. Over two years ago he abandoned the faim and applied to the l*i>inininn Uoverniuent for a rebate fur Work done on the place. As time went on a I'll of red tape wan unwound with the aid of innumerable letters to and fro, bur thuru surely are some knots to be un- tied yet. He should have received $37.50 for the laVor expeiidoi in breaking tivo iicres of kod and in digging a well, yet after digging as thev thought, to the bottom of the matter the government dus; out of its treasury the sum of fS.OO, and supposedly have ended the affair. Doc. thinks differently and will try to 6nd the missing $29.50. The Advance received a very interest- ing circular letter from a Toronto firm, which deals in bar fixtures, last week. It tells us exactly how many man would be put out of employment if the liquor trade were abolished. It also gives some interesting facts aa to the doings of the "temperance fanatics," etc. This circular tacitly admits that local option decreases the consumption of intoxicating litiuors. Yet we are assured, that it has increased the coueumption of whiskey, etc., in Fle«hett(>n. Which are wr, tu believe? Th<j one who is connected with tha.wbole- sale manufacture of liquon, or one who is opposed to local option? As it appears t» us, the best thing to do is to continue the local option despite the thousands that will be put out of business when liquor ceaseH lo be made. The circular referred to above lias this to siy; "Not since the early eighties has temperance fanaticism developed such zeal and strength as now." Surely this looks all right to those who wish to s«a this "fanaticism" devulope with still greater " zeal and strength.
