There was no fence around the ball grounds those days and so all admission fses had to be secured through the sale of tags. The sale of tags for the July 1st rpvent totalled $935.37. The subscriptions collected from business men and others for the occasion amciunted to $620.00, of which $200.00 was from the Hollinger and $100.00 from the McIntyre, the reâ€" mainder being in smaller donations all collected by Fire Chief A. Borland and Dr. McInnis, chairman of the Fire and Light committee. The euchre and dance given by Timâ€" mins L.O:L., on the evening of Friday, July 12th, 1918, proved an enjoyable and successful event in every way. About 50 couples were present and all reported a very pleasant evening. In the euchre, Mr. M. A. Ellis won the first prize for gentlemen, and Mrs. Martin Myles the first for ladies. Mr. A. G. Luxton won the consolation. Twenty years ago the initials "M. S. A." were often used to represent the "Military Service Act," but as The Adâ€" vance pointed out they could also be used to designate a new association, the "Mountjoy Settlers Association." This association was formed for the protection and advancement of the particular interests of the settlers in Mountjoy township. This time twenty years ago the M.S.A. had 35 members and hoped to double that number in a short time. Thos, Banks was president; Leslie Walker,, viceâ€"president; and F. M.

The boys said the dealer had given one of them 75¢ and the other 50¢c to get the stuff for him. The dealer‘s story was that he had made the purchase in good faith, the mother of on» of thé boys knowing of the transâ€" action. The magistrate gave the dealer the benefit of the doubt but warned dealers against taking the responsibiliâ€" ty of buying goods from small boys. The Advance commented on the case, pointing out that it seemed only comâ€" mon sense for a dealer to know better secretary, Miss Irene Carswell. The financial report showed a very successâ€" ful year, with a substantial balance on hand. than to buy from boys of ten, especially when valuables were being offered at ridiculously low prices and when it cerâ€" tainly seemed absurd that youngsters should lawfully have such goods to sell. The Advance pointed out that adults who bought goods in this careless fashâ€" ion were encouraging children into wrong, even if they did not actually incite them to theft.

"Recently there was an article of some importance in the North Bay press concerning Northern highways and the Ferguson highway was most conspicuous by the fact that all referâ€" ence was given to the roads east and ’west of Noarth Bay. Not so long ago it | was shown that transportation north j IOf The Bay was considered heavier than | that on either of the roads reforred to. Surely such an attitude was not taken . to keep the Ferguson highway in the‘ | background. i "As a matter of fact, the Ferguson ,highway is in good condition for trafâ€" Il’ic. When it is comparatively easy to | drive from New Liskeard to North Bay | in two hours and forty minutes it can | hardly te honest to say the road is . lunsafe for traffic or ruinous to a deâ€". lcem, auto. â€" At the same time, the averâ€" | ag> motor car can easily run from one ; |\ hundred and fifty to two hundred miles | | on one filling of gas, and the moatorists, iand North Country people generally, are quite likely to remember that fact unâ€" less these petty schemes to hinder tourâ€" iiste and other business traffice to the| | North are discontinvued and publicly | frowned upon by North Bay‘s Board of Trade and its press.

Claims North Bay is Not Playing Fairly Walking on wrong side of rural highâ€" way. Walking or running in front of or from behind vehicle without due care. The following editorial article from The New Liskeard Speaker last week requires either a very complete and subâ€" stantial denial from North Bay, or more than passing attention from the people of the North. There are many in Timâ€" mins and district who believe The New Liskeard Speaker has brought to pubâ€" lic notice practices that are all too common by some North Bay business places. No doubt in some cases it is sheer ignorance of the North and conâ€" ditions here that prompts some of the statements made to tourists and others on their way North. In other cases, it may b> a lack of business ethics. In any case, there are methods that may be adopted to make it unprofitable to give false information in regard to the North, or to withhold facts that visitor? are entitled to know. Misrepresentation of North and Its Facilities Charged The sditorial in The Speaker is as follows :â€"â€" "Time for a Showdown" "The Boards of Trades of the various Northern centres have a "crow to pick" with North Bay and its business men. Time and again information has been reccived by us to effect that North Bay people were turning business oveI the Ferguson highway to the North in other directions. Recently we were told that it was with considerable reâ€" luctance that New Liskeard (Temisâ€" kaming) literature was accepted at a certain North Bay ‘"information" burâ€" cau. On Friday a traveller called at this office and in course of conversation gave the information that he had left his car at North Bay "because he had boen advised that the road was not safe for travel." People are said to have come North with excess gas and provisions of various kinds because it "Naturally, we know the "good‘ people of North Bay cannot contro Confused by traffic Insobriety. the actions or words of the smaller people in their midst, but all the T. N. 0. country is asking for is a "square deal," and such tactics as have been indicated are sure to be resented, in fact, are resented to some rxtent right now." Discussing Road Problems of North The following editorial appeared in The Northern Tribune, Kapuskasing, last week:â€" "Apparently Mr. McQuesten now clearly sees that the North will progress more rapidly if we have good hardâ€" surfaced highways, which will be paid for cut of increased tourist revenues. That seems to be an indirect admission that up to the present time southern Ontario has derived almost all the benefits from the great tourist business enjoyed by this province, at least so far as roads are concerned. Many millions of dollars have been poured out in a network of hard roads in secâ€" tions of Ontario which were going backward instead| of| forward, while the province as a whole derived imâ€" mense benefits from the development of the North, that seriously lacked good roads. "We will presume, then, that tourâ€" ists have either paid for these older Ontario highways by now, or will pay for them. That was in fact the calâ€" culation when they were built; but the North did not receive the same sensible consideration. We understand the minister now to declare that the Ferguson highway will be hardâ€"surâ€" faced as rapidly as possible in order to increase tourist travel over it, which will be considered to be paying the cost thereof. It is not merely a matter of bookkeepingz; it is a matter of recâ€" Agnizing where highway revenues come Interlocking of Idea of Good, Highway â€" and â€" Tourist Tracde New York‘s mayor LaGuardia shakes the hand of Howard Hughes as the millionaire flier and his four companions step fom their racing transport after completing the flight which encircled the globe in three days, 19 hours and 14 minutes.

Inasmuch as the older sections have up to now got more than their share from these contributions, it is now our turn. That argument is sound as a bell, and the Ontario cabinet should not henceforth be allowed to overlook it. "The secretaryâ€"manager of the Onâ€" tario Motor League is authority for the statement that grading and straightenâ€" ing of roads between Toronto and Timâ€" mins has shortened the distance beâ€" tween these points by seventy miles. The minister of highways now says that an acrial survey will be made of the rough country between North Bay and Temiskaming, so that the highway through the Temagami reserve can be made shorter, straighter and safer. That will beo another muchâ€"needed imâ€" provement, and will pay big dividends. The highway bridge over the Groundâ€" hog River at Fauquier should also be hastened along, because that will greatâ€" ly lessen driving time up to Hearst and bring further progress in its train. The transâ€"Canada highway ought to go straight west from that point, to reach Winnipesg with shortest mileage. Ths comparatively new district of Long Lac is now to have about 100 miles more of highway built, connecting Geraldâ€" ton through to Port Arthur. The lakeâ€" head has always had strong political influence, and it goes after what it wants. In this case it wants the road contact with the new mining camps, and it will get them soon. There is just as much justification for buildâ€" ing a road west from Hearst to Gerâ€" aldton, to connecet all the other mining camps of Northern Ontario and Quebec with the westward extension of gold mining.. This road from Hearst would also permit. motor connection from Montreal and Toronto. Surely the east should see the many advantages of such a connection, and not be content to have business feed back from the lakchead toward the Long Lac district. The dream of a transâ€"Canada highâ€" way is being long delayed, but this road must come, and come this way. On th> minister‘s own argument of deâ€" riving revenues, this is the proper route for it.
