Mayor W, G. Weichel, MP.P., will retire from the municipal field at the close of the year, having served the past two years in that eapacity. The names of two well known citiâ€" zens have been mentioned as his possible sucâ€" cessors. The one is the present Reeve, Willâ€" fam Henderson, who has definitely announced himself as a candidate for the Mayor‘s chair; and the other is A. H. Cochrane, a former member of the council, who in a mayoralty conâ€" test a few years ago was defeated by the‘ narrow margin of a few votes by exâ€"mayor D.‘ Bohlender. Councillior L. F. Dietrich has also| intimated that he may stand for the position | of Reeve. This will open the way for one of the other members of the council to step up to the Deputy Reeveship for which Mr. Dietrich had previously announced himself a candidate.‘ For this position the nanmies of Councillors Bauer and Brill have been prominently menâ€"‘ tioned. Councillor Bauman, a member of the council for several years, has also announced | his intention to retire this year and will not? again be a candidate for that body. I ‘There is also likely to be considerable disâ€" ecussion on the two questions to be voted upon at the coming election, the one with regard to the taking over of the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo hosâ€" pital and the other with reference to the inaugâ€" uration of a garbage collection system in Watâ€" The citizens of Waterloo should atrtend the nomination meeting in large numbers. Inâ€" difference on the part of ratepayers is a handiâ€" cap to municipal progress as it tends to lower the calibre of municipal representatives. It is to the general interest that the best citizens available be nominated for the municipal council and other town bodies. Monday, December 24th, is to be a big day in Waterloo, arrangements having all been completed for the big event, the Community Christmas Tree Celebration when Santa Claus will hand out hundreds of stockings, well filled with all the sweetmeats of the Christmas season, to the young folks. Last year 1500 stockings were distributed and about 60 hampâ€" ers were sent to needy families. This year, it is anticipated, a still larger number will be reached with the bounties of the Christmas season. A desire to make others happy is the preâ€" dominating thought of Christmastide, _ But why reserve these special acts of kindness and thoughtfuiness for the Christmas season only as is too frequently the case. To lighten the passing days for others the year through by econstant manifestations of good will and helpâ€" fulness, should be our endeavor. We can add very materially to the joy of life by lending &A helping hand to those about us who are in need of our friendship and assistance. To our readers we extend heartiest groetâ€" ings at this Christmastide. May the happiness and joy of the festive season continue throughâ€" out ‘Hn year and may the coming twelve Christmas, with its good cheer and general atmosphere of good will, will soon be upon us and many happy faces will again be seen around the festive board and family circles completed by the arrival home of absent members to celeâ€" brate this, the happiest event of all the year. The Christmas spirit is already abroad in the land and numerous hearts will be gladdened by gift giving, which will show, in a tangible way, affection and regard for associates and friends. Every citizen has an opportunity of helpâ€" ing in this laudable work. Jars have been placed in the various stores and any contribuâ€" tions will be gladly received whether large or small, We are sure that a large number will respond to the appeal made and share in the task of bringing joy to.the hearts of the young folk and in making the day for families not forâ€" tunately circumstanced, a real Christmas. | CHRISTMAS, THE HAPPIEST EVENT OF | | ALL THE YEAR. | ADVERTIGING RATES CHRISTMAS COMMUNITY CHEER e Ee ie *Me We x €, l ltm%mdum o i 'm“uuwm y tnln'art later than Monday noon to insure insertion, WOTM‘8 privatelyâ€"owned . ¢ ‘tion enterprise, was built up into a system that ' ".mmflumacmmmu â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-"hudwayamlhtmrmthcmumd ERLOO NOMINATION MEETING | ‘ service and in consequence its name has gradâ€" ON FRIDAY. | uwally come to be associated with all that is ma UA a wa hn n hn n 6 6 meia h e en n n Unusual interest was centred in the annual meeting of the U.F.O. Coâ€"operative Company held last week in Toronto owing to rumors that the Progressives, headed by former Premier, Drury, would make an effort to elect a sufficient number of their representatives to enable them to exert the preponderating inâ€" fluence on its affairs. Several of their represenâ€" tatives were elected to the Board but the Morrison element controls the Executive. It is evident, however, that there is a truce beâ€" tween former Premier Drury and Secretary Morrison, as the former‘s name was associated with the nomination of the latter as secretary of the company for the ensuing year. lt is in the interests of the U.F.O. that the breach should be healed as there have been divided counsels and lack of coâ€"operation which certainly did not make for the accomplishment of the objects of the organization. “ The Labor party is not averse to forming a government if called upon to do so. This is ‘evident from the communique issued last week following a meeting of the Executive Board of |the Labor Party, which states that the parliaâ€" ‘mentary Party should, if called upon, immedâ€" ‘iately accept the full responsibility of the ‘government of the country without compromisâ€" | ing itself with any form of coalition.It is the inâ€" ‘tention of the Labor Party, according to press ‘despatches, to take the first opportunity conâ€" !sistent with constitutional practice, to turn out {the present. ministry from office. A somewhat peculiar situation obtains in Great Britain as a result of the election in that no party has a sufficient majority to govern without the support of the other. Despite this fact the Baldwin Administration has decided to remain in office until parliament meets on January 8th and its tenure of office will depend upon the good will or hostility of the Labor and Liberal parties. P Sir Adam Beck the other day gave an emâ€" phatic denial to the assertion that the Provinâ€" cial Government is considering the abanâ€" doning of the "power at cost" basis of operaâ€" tion of the Hydroâ€"electric Commission. _ He stated, however, that,as chairman of the Hyâ€" droâ€"electric Gommission, he had been considerâ€" ing the possibility of a change in the method of financing capital expenditures by the comâ€" mission on behalf of the Hydro municipalities. Although emphasizing the fact that he was not.speaking for the Government, Sir Adam, in an interview, discussed his own ideas with reference to financing further hydro extensions. The commission, he said, was considering the advisability of doing its own financing in view of the increasingly large expenditures on Hydro development. At present the moneys for capital expenditure are secured from the sale of Ontario Government bonds. The alternative proposition is that the Hydro issue its own bonds which would be a first mortgage on the properties held in trust by the Commission for the municipalities, Under this arrangement there would be no increase in rates as had been suggested, said Sir Adam. It would mereâ€" ly mean that the commission would do its own financing and pay interest direct to the bond holders instead of to the government. From ten to twenty millions a year for the next ten years is needed by the Commission to meet the increasing demand for power, stated Sir From the standpoint of the government the new acheme of financing which Sir Adam supports, would appear to have its advantages. As has been pointed out, the capital expendiâ€" ture for Hydroâ€"electric purposes, under the| "°"°*""* *\ 8°. 907 on pFOpOMAMAM® U" EOM C present system, is shown in the government‘s fere with the natural course of trade and inâ€" balance sheet as a direct liability while under | dustry.

He was oh»| cated at the Public Schogle of his native city and entered ullwoyi work in the Purchasing Departâ€" ment of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in 1869. He rose rapidly to the ranks of railway officials and was general storeâ€"keeper of the Railway in 188%. when he was ap proached by William Van Horne, then collecting a staff for the infant Canadian Pacific Railway, and enâ€" gaged as General Purchasing Agent. Mr.. Shaughnessy was made Asâ€" sistant to the President of the C. Pâ€"R. in 1889, a Viceâ€"President and director in 1891, and became Presâ€" ident of the company in 1899, reâ€" tining to become Chairman of the Board of Directors in 1918, He was Knighted in 1901, made a Knight Commuander of the Victorian Order in 1907, and raised to the Peerage in 1916. Lord Shaughnessy was asâ€" soclated through directorships with a wide range of enterprises. He married, in 1880, Maud, Eliza: beth Nagle of Milwaukee. His heir is Hon. W. J. Shaughnessy. The Baron and Baroness Shaughnesey had three daughters, the Hon. Mrs. H. W. Beauclerk, the Hon. Mrs. KRene Redmond, and the Hon.

In 1901 its capital stock stood at $65,000,000, and when he left the Presidency its stock was figured at $260,000,000. Retween 1905 and 1912 the value of the stock advanced to 282%, and the dividend rose from 5%, to 10% per annum. PREMIER OF ITALY CLOSES PARLIAMENTâ€"ELECTIONS IN APRIL Premier Mussolini, with the conâ€" sent of the Cabinet, on Dec. 1l1ith obtained the signature of the â€"King to a decree closing the present sesâ€" slon of the Chamberâ€"an act which jnevitably leads to dissolution and new elections. Dissolution will probably occurr the early part of January, and in that event, elections will be held in April. The Premier‘s bold decisive step ends voluntarily his own dictatorship and reâ€"establishes the Government along the usual ‘constitutional lines. ‘There is not the slightest doubt that Mussolini had the present Chamber well under control. Former Premier E. C. Drury, at the anâ€" nual meeting of the U.F.O. Coâ€"operative Comâ€" pany, expressed his belief in the soundness of the coâ€"operative principle but warned that its application, no matter how successful, would never lift the farmer from the slough of: econâ€" omic depression so long as the tariff was allowâ€" ed to interfere with the freedom of industry and commierco. In his references to the subject, he said : "I believe strongly in the potentiality of |;»p properly directed coâ€"operation, but I doubt ifl.g that alone can solve all of the farmer‘s ills.!th We must hold aloft the torch of economic good in mlnthhmw.WomMmmuthatl:‘; freedom prevails, 1 have very little faith h\n schemes that are built on propositions to inter=| ... the alternative scheme such expenditure would dition of agriculture in this country is very appear only as an indirect liability, The govâ€" | serious.

M FARMERS‘ PUBLISHING co. sUSTAINS LOSS$ OF $15,161 During the past 15 months the Farmers‘ Publishing Company susâ€" tained a loss of $15,161, according to the annual statement. The triâ€" weekly issue, which has been disâ€" continued, and, in a smaller degree, the shrinkage in advertising due to the change of economic conditions throughout the Province, are the reasons given for the unfavorable balance sheet. Last year the comâ€" pany paid a dividend of 10 per cent. IMPORTANT CONCESSIONS MADE REGARDING ENTRY OF CANâ€" ADIAN CATTLE INTO GT. BRITAIN. i Important concessions respecting the entry of Canadian store cattle into Great Britain have been madé by the Brlilah Government in resâ€" ponse to the representations made reâ€" cently by Canadian â€" Government officials. It is proposed that in the case of cattle which the inspector ar the port of entry is satisfied can teasonrbly be regarded as suitable for feeding for a period of not less than 28 days before slaughter, the inspector will grant a license for the removal to any authorized premâ€" ises. In the case of cattle where the inspector is not so satisfied, the inâ€" spector will either (a) grant a 1i conse for the removal to a slaughter Louse for slaughter, and will not reâ€" quire them to be slaughtered at the landing place, or (b) if the, owner ie prepared to undertake that they will be removed to a suitable place and fed not less than twentyâ€"eight days, a ficense to this effect may be granted. 4 Other cattle must be slaughtered at the landing place as heretofore. Cattle which have not complied with the conditions applicable to stoes, that is, three days‘ isolation i gom t oo in the meantime we are living in a political State and that means political action," he deâ€" clared. "We may have some other form of orâ€" wanization in the future, but in the meantime we have the State. We must, therefore, enâ€" deavor to preserve our agricultural life by using the existing machineéryâ€"the State." ° ‘"We should thank Providence that Engâ€" land has shown that she wants to continue to walk in the paths of sound economic sense," he continued. "I trembled lest the torch in Engâ€" land might go out. As for the farmers in this country, we won‘t get anywhere if we abandon the field occupied so steadfastly by generations which have gone before, and let all our enerâ€" gies be spent on these other things. Even with the most perfect system of coâ€"operation, we will never achieve permanent prosperity if we are still faced with that which interferes with production and that which tends toward monoâ€" polyâ€"the protective tariff." Mr. Drury‘s comment on the means which the farmer should use to secure his ends was significant in view of the present attitude of the chief officials of the U.F.O. toward political action. "Ultimately we might look forward to the establishment of a coâ€"operative state, but, I Hearty Cood Wishes _ ’ In the contest, which is a threeâ€" day public milking test, the animal made 344.26 points, producing in so ‘ doing 2629 pounds of milk, 11 i pounds of butter fat, equivalent to |13.75 pounds butter; 22.92 pounds of solid net fat.

Speaking at a banquet given by Saskatchewan _ Conservatives _ at Saskatoon a few days ago Premier Ferguson of Ontario spoke of the importance of a complete underâ€" standing between east and west. "We discovered in Ontario," he said, "that you can‘t found governâ€" ment on an organization that is fundamentally unsound. Class govâ€" ernment _ antagonizes | all other classes. It is bound to be narrow and partisan. We have tried an experiment with that sort of thing and we are paying for it." Looseness of administration and want of capacity were faults he asâ€" cribed to the Drury regime. He stated his belief in the party system of government as ibest and safest. "We look to you in the west to get back to sane, stable government. Then we can begin to make some headway nationally." "It does not pay," he said, "to place public business in the hands of men with a narrow vision."
