A committee composed of Geo. W, James, T. A. Dustan, W. P, Corbett, F. R, Kers- lake, Harry Allin, M, S. Dale and T. W. Cawker was appointed to draw up bylaws and nominate of- ficers, which. will' be placed before the general meeting this evening. There are close to 150 mer chants and professional men in the town and it is believed that an Association will not only bene- fit the merchants themselves but also the town.

MENT IN 10 YEARS Beatty labor saving appliances for the home and farm have been on the market for 57 years but the firm claims the New Beatty Washer with Raise and 'Lower Basket is the great- est improvement in Electric Washers known in ten years, This new washer came on the mar- ket at a good time, The increasing demand for it is giving steady employ- ment to many thousands of Cana dian workmen in mines, concentrat- ors, refineries, rolling mills, foun dries, factories, offices and stores from Halifax, N.S. to Victoria, B.C. The new Beatty is filling a long felt' need and bringing added com- fort and convenience to the house- wife. The raise and lower basket lifts the clothes within easy reach of the user, making it unnecessary to stoop or plunge hands and arms into hot water, This has a strong appeal to the housewife who realizes there is only ofie way to sterilize houschold linens--that is with water too hot for hands to touch. The makers, Beatty Bros., Limited, of Fergus, claim the new washer is casicr to operate, will wash faster and last longer than any other washer. All Beatty Washers are made in Can- ada, entirely of Canadian materials and by Canadian workmen, The local store is at 72 Simcoe Street North where the Manager and his staff will be glad to mect you and demonstrate the new washer, Bylaw not Satisfactory Selleville,. -- Belleville's proposed mifk and cream bylaw has been re- turned to the city from the Depart: ment of Public Health, Toronto, where it was considered by the offi- cials of the department.

While sympathizing deeply, with the man who has been out of em- ployment for ten months, and whose views seem to be on the side of communism, I woud like to point out to him the type of communism condemned by the Rev. S. C. Jar- rett is thdt which is born of envy, not of need, which is striving to turn the prudent, from the faith and thé word of God. The Elymas of today, of whom Paul said tells, 13-10. "Oh full of all subtlety and all mischief thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness will thou not cease to prevent the right way of the Lord. Re the statement made referring to pray- prs, for the unemployed. The prayer for all conditions of men, which is delivered in the most heartfelt way, in H.T.C. in the ord- er of service, twice every Sunday embraces every need, part of which runs thus: Finally we command to thy Fatherly goodness all those, who are any ways afflicted, in "mind, body or estate, that it may please thee, to comfort and relieve them, according to there several necessitics, giving them patience under these sufferings, and a happy issue out of all these afflictions, and this we beg for Jesus Christ's sake, Amen, The problem of labour and capital never will be solved, until the "Grace of God" is the supreme power, in the world. May I suggest to the writer, that he will find the key to all the pro- blems of life, when he makes the Bible his friend. Grace is sufficient fort every. true child of God. They are content to be wheresoever it has pleased God to call them, "Give us this day our daily bread," is all they ask and this prayer is always answered. The nations rich in faith and the love of God is the most fruitful nation in the world. Faith and Godliness will always open the window of heaven to either person or nation. --Ellen Bryce.

REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H. ORMISTON GAVE ANALYSIS OF EXPENDITURES BY THIS COUNTY Large Amount Uncontroll- able--One-fifth of a Mill For Salaries A carefully prepared analysis of county expenditures tor all purposes as they go to make up the mill rate, was presented to Ontario County Council on Friday afternoon by de- puty reeve Allan Moore, chairman of the Committee on Finance and As- sessment, Mr, Moore prepared this analysis in view of the demand for cconomy, showing that a large pro- portion of the money paid out an- nually is uncontrollable, including such items as education, grants for which arc sct by statute, interest and principal on debentures, administra- tion of justice, old age pensions, mo- thers' allowances and care of indi- gents under the Hospital Act; pay- ments on provincial highway con- struction, etc. The council, he point- ed out, had no control over eleven and one quarter mills. To show the futility of reducing expenses to any great extent by re- ducing salaries of officials, which had been so strongly advocated at this session, Mr, Moore pointed out that the salary bill represented less than one fifth of a mill. Mr, Moore was of the opinion that the place to cut down and practice economy was on capital expenditures, . The statement presented to the Council, and embodied in the Finance renoft, showed the county expendi- tures and their relation to the gen- eral mill rate of the county.
