Whether the project should be financed with a grant from the town or by some method of public subscription, is a matter to be deâ€" cided if the Old Home Week is held. In many p places grants were made by the municipalities, . supplemented â€" by the (raising of further amounts needed in other ways. Naturally the desire will be to so finance that the outlay will not be unduly large.‘ In the case of those who return to the old homeâ€"town it is but proper that they, being the guests of the municipality, should not be called upon, except perhaps in a very limited measure, to bear the cost of the entertainment provided. .“_w,,m, vertising copy must reach the office not later than Menday neon to Insure insertion. :4 At.mdthdflmdmmi of Waterloo held last week, endorsation was gin-byynefialydlmttothemd to hold an Old Home Week in the municipality next year. However, it was considered advisâ€" able in order to secure the opinion of a larger number of citizens than <was present at the meeting, to interview other residents with a Mwmmthemnlfoeuuonthe In connection with financing the project it was felt by some of those present that the undertaking should not have for its object the making of money. The real purpose of the reâ€" union is, of course, to welcome back former residents and to afford them an opportunity of If the undertaking is held, we believe it could be carried through with conspicuous sucâ€" cess if the civic organizations and the citizens generally entered wholeâ€"heartedly into the enterprise. An Old Home Week would unâ€" doubtedly be welcomed by many former resiâ€" dents of the place who spent their boyhood and girlhood days in this attractive and progressive municipality. In the passing of the late Arthur U.| Pequegnat, a member of the Public School Board of Kitchener for 27 years and for many years its chairman, the city lost a publicâ€" spirited citizen of sterling worth. As the resoâ€" lution of the Board stated, he had much to do with the laying of the foundation and building the superstructure of an educational system and equipment for Kitchener and gave unâ€" sparingly of his time and energy in connection therewith. The erection of a tablet in Victoria School, which he had planned and assisted in building, would, as suggested, fittingly perâ€" petuate his memory. * The London Free Press, a few days ago, had the following pertinent and timely comâ€" ment regarding the need of a duplicate highâ€" way between Galt and Preston to adequately care for the increasingly heavy traffic over this section of the highway :â€" While broadening and metaling of main roads throughout Ontario has pretty well kept pace with the steadily increasing demands of traffic, there are a few "bottleâ€" _ neck" stretches which, it is hoped, the deâ€" partment is keeping in view for early action. One of the most importantâ€"and exasperatingâ€"is the concrete highway beâ€" tween Galt and Preston. Itlooks like about 20 feet, but cannot be more than 22, and its cireumscribed course along the electric tailway is rigidly marked by curbing. Once a motorist finds himself behind a wagon, truck or bus, he may as well be prepared ‘to take its pace for the remainder of the stretch. Traffic in either direction is alâ€" mibst continuous and turning out is at all times perilous, and frequently impossible. This part of Waterloo is one of the busiest in the province, from a traffic standpoint and it will be recalled that Karl Homuth, member for the south riding, tried about two years ago to get action on construction of a duplicate highway, east of the Grand Valley Railway. The move failed for the time, but public opinion is said to be now not only unanimous but inâ€" sistent that relief be given. It is true that the dapartment has done a good deal of *~ work in Waterloo recently, but the county has <cmore than the average â€"population â€" density and traffic movement, and this particular bottleneck is a matter of more than Jocal concern. Inasmuch as the elecâ€" tric railway, by reason of agreement made some years ago, is bound to furnish the rightâ€"ofâ€"way, it might be reasonable to ask . that Hon. Mr., Henry‘s engineers get that.. â€" part of the job cleaned up this fall, and perhaps even the grading could be done. . Then in due course the present highway ean be reserved for oqm traffic and y3 h;:v strip devoted to northbound, 3 question is :wli‘ should have the afiuum One Yeer in m ho w w n m w o t n in Unitell Otates, pOP yYOBP. .. .â€"> > ++ > ADVERTIBING RATES ENDORSE OLD HOME WEEKk -nqtua-lv!â€"'l'l_-.‘""""“" ‘The announcement of Wetsrice, Ontarie. ) Ferguson, Premier of Onts NEED PUPLICATE HIGHWAY many A WORTHY CITIZEN of their associates of younger be taken in the question as to who is to head|genor Feitosa, presented Premior {Wm.MdehM'mfimmfio meet in Winnipeg in the fall.

While some of his policies have not met with general support; others which have been put into effect have resulted advantageously to. the province. His adminisâ€" tr@tion on the whole has given efficient service to the province. . Among others prominently mentioned for the position is Hon. Hugh Guthrie, of £uelph, parliamentary leader of the party during the last session of parliament. He entered parlia ment in 1900 and ranks next to Speaker Lemieux in point of parliamentary seniority. Aithough a former Liberal and lieutenant of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he undoubtedly commands a large following among the Conlel:vatlve memâ€" bers as evidenced by his selection as house leader last session. Some, however, look for the selection of someone outside of those whose names have been frequently mentioned. The choice of a permanent leader for one of the two great political parties of the Dominion will be folâ€" lowed with keen interest. s Hon. Mr. Dunning, Minister of Railways, speaking to the visiting members of the British Press Association, said that the Dominion did not want immigrants whose first thought was "What will the government do for me?" Canada wanted immigrants who were not determined to lean on the government, but who were willâ€" ing to support it. ,___Mr. Dunning referred to himself as a livâ€" ing example of what Canada held in store for the British immigrant. He wanted to say that Canada treated well those determined to adapt and adjust themselves, Many will agree with Mr: Dunning. Alâ€" though various agencies have offered induceâ€" ments to prospective settlers in the Dominion, it is well to emphasize that they are expected to do their full part in the Dominion where opportunities for success present themselves to those who are industrious and thrifty and who are ready and willing to adapt themselves to conditions here. o‘ | OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS HERE | The importance of National Research is being increasingly recognized in Canada and one of the most important announcements made for some time was that of Hon. Mr. Malcolm, Minister of Trade and Commerce, recently. He stated that the government had plans ready for the extensive development of national re-‘ search. It is acknowledged that\improvements in processes with consequent reduction in costs are likely to be much more effective in strengthening Canadian industries for compeâ€" tition with their rivals than‘ any form of subâ€" sidy, direct or indirect. It has been generally recognized that it is the technical methods of CGermany rather than any tariff schedules which have made her such a formidable rival in the international market. Considerable advancement has been made by Canadian industries in the adoption of reâ€" search but even now the facilities for this purpose, either private or governmental, are very far from being commensurate with the needs of the country. The Minister, in laying plans for the further development of national research, is taking a step which is in the general interest of the industries of the counâ€" try and business generally. Among the causes of accidents are freshly: gravelled roads. If a car unsuspectingly strikes gravel of much depth it is almost certain to be diverted off the woad into the ditch. Of course there arg mary ‘counties where signs have been erected warning the autoist that he is about to pass over a freshly gravelled road and they operate to prevent accidents, but in some instances this precaution is neglected.= It is of course recognized that these roads must have applications of gravel at intervals but it should be put on in such a way as to minimize the danger to motorists and, ’vlnn_itennotbo readily seen, warning signs should be erected. f The Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, which opens shortly, will, no doubt again -ttm:dumfm all parts of Canada and the States.

B. Hanna, chairman of the Liquor Control Board, Magistrate Maxwell and Crown Attorney McCrimmon at St. Thomas, neither ‘passengers nor m&loyou on‘ a boat within Ontario waters have the right to drink liquor, even in private staterooms on the boat. This interpretation was given when Alox: McBain appeared at St. Thomas on a charge of drinkâ€" ing liquor where liquor cannot legâ€", ally be ~drunk. McBain pleaded guilty and a fine of $15 and costs was imposed, but, as McBain had no money, he must serve 30 days jn the county jail McBain‘s rather defiant attitude toward Captain Peterson, of the City of St. Ignace, caused him to receive the full sentence, just when Magistrate Maxwell was in the act f reducing the sentence to 15 days.

McLoughry, agricultural rep resentative, states that the oat crop will be exceptionally heavy in Watâ€" erloo Countyâ€"in fact, it promises to wheat, although it is as, last year, yet samples are good considering the spring promise and the yield per acre will be fair. Hay is a heavy crop and haying is nearly through. Corn will be a poor crop, unless warmer weather comes soon, while turnips promise a fair yield. mbarlu harvest is now in full swing in the county. BOMBS EXPLODED IN N. Y. SUBWAYS; MANY INJURED Four explosions in a period of 24 minutes apparently caused by bombs set off in a deliberate attempt at terrorism, virtually wrecked three stations of the Interborough Rapid ‘Transit Company‘s east side subway and one of the Brooklyn and Manâ€" hattan Transit Company, all near midâ€"Manhattan recently.
