The little one had wandered out =| of bounds' and lost himself in | the middle of «a swampy bush: When found, shivering with cold and whimpering with fear, he L was within a few feet of the lake on one side and a swampy mire on' the other. Soon hejwas back in the arms of his overjoyed mother, and the Scouts returned to their camp Scouts at having once more upheld the honor and reputation of the movement. . PEDLAR PEOPLE PRIZE * .

Delay in the announcement of high school and collegiate ex- amination results will not affect the applications for model or other courses, Provincial Treas. Price, 'who, in the absence of Premier Ferguson, has been act- ing Minister of Education, stat- ed yesterday in a formal state- ment on the situation. Frankly acknowledging a re-|- gretable delay in announcing ex- amination results this year, both Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Price stated yesterday that it was due to an unexpected augmentation of the work at a time when an experiment was being attempted Jin the interests of efficiency and economy. Similiar conditions, they said, would not obtain an- he "The. Departm nt thi 3% e; s year" stated Mr. Price, "decided that they would 'have depattmental ~ |examinations in the first week 'in' July.

"The total effect this year is that the school term was length- ened about a week to begin with, but this term may be shortened for some by two or three days" he concluded. : -- OOo DO YOU REMEMBER WAY BACK, When Ontario had from 1,500 to 3,000 licensed places for the sale of liquor for beverage purposes-- When almost every one of the sellers in these licensed places was a law-breaker--fined for selling in prohibited hours, or to minors, or to men who were already intoxicated or on the "Indian list;" and in these ways sold as much liquor il- legally as the bootleggers do today-- 4 When, in towns and villages, and even in some cities, women could hardly pass these places without insult from the lear- ing, blear-eyed, foul-mouthed ""boozers, who grouped around the doorways or lined the walls-- When you could hardly get a clear smelling bedroom in any hotel in the Province because boozing guests had so befoul- ed the carpets or bedspreads with the vomit of their exces- give drinking-- When a decent traveller was hardly ever free from annoy- ance from the half-drunken habitues of the bar-rooms, who.in the public rooms were abusive and insul ulting if if you took no notice of and ohnoxicusly silly or abusive if ou did-- en the bars and: other drink- ing places were the centres uch, | land to a habit t : to both 'individual and the And have you stopped to think That the Ontario Temperance Act has practically stopped all of these evils-- That although it is not a perfect law, it is much better than any law dealing with the sale of liquor that preceded it, or that is proposed in its place-- That the consumption of intoxi- cating liquor -in Ontario--in- cluding what is illegally sold has been cut down to about one-tenth of what it was be- fore the Ontario Temperance Act came into force-- That most of the drinking now done and the law-breaking in liquor that still exists is a "hang-over" from the old li- cense days, perpetrated by people who learned to love liquor under sale licensed by the Government-- That prior to 1916, in Local Op- tion towns, there-was always an outbreak of law-breaking and booze drinking jusy be- fore a repeal vote, The dis- tillers and brewers and for- mer retailers and their allies, could afford to pay big fines if they could only succeed in dis- gusting the people with the prohibitory law-- That in the communities where the people could not be stam- peded by these tactics, anr re- fused to repeal Local Option, 'there was afterwards greater peace and decency and pros- perity than before-- And Do You Realize That Government sale (or so- called "control") of liquor has been a failure wherever tried --<in England, in Australia, in New Zealand, in the United States, and in Canada. In each there has been the same result--no decrease in drink- ing at the best, 2nd generally h a deadening of official Sin so as not to . reveal the true state of af- fairs-- | That Government sale lends the countenance of the law of the t is danger- the government at its own game of trying to make money out of the weaknesses and vices of its own people. If the government can do it for gain, why not he ?-- The government sale of liquor is a great detriment to other lines of business, diverting millions of dollars from the store keepers and manufact- urers, who employ many more hands for each $1,000 of capi- tal invested than the brewers and distillers-- That is British Columbia, where the Moderationists promise that the profits from liquor would soon pay off the public debt, that debt has more than doubled. In 1920 it was $30,- 636,661. In 1923 it was $68,- 161,000. And Have You Made Up Your Mind-- That so far as you are concerned you will continue to help free Canada from a traffic and custom that has cursed all other lands-- That, to that end, you will give the Ontario Temeprance Act fair play, realizing that it can- not altogether clear up in six or seven years conditions of public action and thought that had grown up through 800 years of licensed sale of liquor in Canada, but should be given a longer chance, to have your support, must be in the direc- tion of more complete prohibi- tion o the booze traffic-- That you will not follow the lead of the Moderation League, which now professes that it does not want the bar back, but which never did anything to get rid of it; and which, as proven in the other provinces, 80 soon as it gets any conces- sion, always seeks for greater avenues for the sale of liquor And that, as a good eitizen, you will lose mo opportunity. of helping to secure observance of the Ontario Tempérance Act and to impress its value upon your fellow citizens, sanding By those wha have patiently and earnestly benef E for % many Years by Goode's Creamery at Port Perry Is paying 86¢. per 1b. for-butter fat.
