When about a mile and a , half west of Holland Centre on the detour the driver attempted to get i around a mud hole when the wheels â-  skidded on the wet grass and sent the car into the ditch. While examining the car one of the party foolishly lit ' a match, which caused a blaze from the exhaust, setting fire to the tires. : Every effort was made to extinguish the blaze, but without success, and the car was totally destroyed. Government Investigated A Eugenia lady lost several ducks by some depredating animal, and a Eugenia gentleman set a trap for the marauder, with the result that a big 1 mink found himself within steel jaws. j The animal was skinned and the hide ; sent to the department with, a state- ; ment of how it had been caught. ] The department sent a man up to in- I vestigate the affair at the expense of ten or fifteen dollars. That is game preservation at any price. Even an atfidavit would not suffice in this case. Temperance Rally A tenipei-ance rally was held in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening. The hall weas crowded.

Mr. Howard Fleming of the Owen Sound Sun-Times called on The Ad- vance Tuesday. Mr. Harry Hayward of Hamilton is Every Govenunene Sale Province is a Bootleggers^ Paradise LIQUOR once sold cannot be controUsL The evil lies in the liquor, not in the method of its sale, nor in the form of the package. This is proven in every Canadian pro- vince where government sale, in varying forms, has been tried. ^ With easier access to intoxicating liquor, drinking has increased enormously. More drunkenness and crime associated with drunkenness have naturally followed. Bootlegging â€" instead of being CURED by sooiled government "control" â€" is flourishing to a degree that makes Ontario's illicit sale seem small and insignificant by comparison. 1| A ghastly failure, serving only to MULTIPLY the very evils it was heralded to cure! That is the story of government sale of liquor in BRITISH COLUMBIA, in MANITOBA, in QUEBEC. Britisli Golmnbla and the Bootleggers The Vancouver World, a newspaper friendly to the government, has declared in an editorial: "British Columbia is the bootleggers' paradise". The Attorney-General of that province â€" who is the official administrator of the Government Liquor Control Act â€" said in a recent speech: "The greatest bootleggers of all are the brewers and export liquor dealers". Dr. A. E. Cooke, of Vancouver, in The Canadian Congregationalist, asserts: "The Government controls neither the manu- facture, importation, transportation, nor exportation of liquor. The distillers and brewers control all these, and the Govern- ment simply acts as one of their sales agents, controlling about 30 per cent, of the retail end of the trade. The whiskey ring and the bootleggers conttol the rest." Manitoba Sick of ''Contror' in Less Than a Tear ^-^^ Eleven months after Manitoba adopted its government control system, an open- minded investigator of conditions in that province, sums up the situation in these words: *-!.*â- Â».â- ;„, "I leave Manitoba impressed with the evidence that both wets and drys are dis- satisfied with the government control sys- tem â€" the wets because there is no legal sale of beer by the glass and because there is some delay and trouble in getting hard stufF, and the drys BECAUSE BOOT- LEGGING AND DRUJSTKENNESS HAVE GREATLY INCREASED." The same neutral authority declares: "There is no dispute in Winnipeg about bootlegging. Everybody â€" drys, wets, moderationists, police, government officials, business men, professional men and round- ers â€" tell the same story. The unanimous verdict during the week of August 24th. when I was in Winni- peg, was that bootleg- ging was being carried on on a tremendous scale, that the city was wide open, that the hotelmen had no re- die For the Honor oS Old Ontario mark Tour Ballot thus : gard for the will of the people as expressed m the disapproval of sale of liquor by the glass, and that something had to be done." Quebec under Government Sale Eclipses Open Bar Evil Quebec, with its longer experience in government sale, has drifted still further back toward the evil days of the open bar. In fact, the only difference between the Quebec "tavern" and the old bar-room is that customers sit down at tables to drink, rather than stand up at a bar! And while Quebec goes on spending more money for booze than for educa- tion (^28,000,000 annually for liquor and ^26,000,000 for educational purposes), crime is rampant. The Montreal Gazette was recently constrained to declare: "Mont- real is a perfect Mecca for evil-doers, with vicious, immoral resorts and gambling joints, the hiding-places of the alien and other criminals from all comets of continen^^^^^^^,.,=2;;-^^srt,g .^mi^- ontaHo Has Higher Hopes . Ontario citizens do NOT want THIS province to become "a bottleggers' para- dise". They do not want their government to go into partnership with the distillers and brewers, splitting the booze business "fifty-fifty" with bootleggers â€" which is the best any government has been able to do under "government sale". The responsible electors of Ontario DO want the happier homes, women and children, made possible by The Ontario Temperance Act. They DO want to defeat the Uquor traffic's insidious effort to turn back the clock. They DO want Ontario to be spared the costly experience of such bootleggers' paradises as British Columbia; Manitoba and Quebec In this belief, and with the Government pledged to "give active and vigorous enforce- ment" of The Ontario Temperance Act, the Ontario Plebiscite Committee asks, with â- ' every confidence, that Ontario citizens give the Government an unmistakeable mandate on October 23rd.
