OVER ONE MILLION ON DIRECT RELIEF IN CANADA. Mr. Bennett promised to help the farmer get better prices for his products. He has failed and the farmers of this riding in common with the farmers of all parts of Canada have experienced the hardest four years in history. Their standard of living has been driven down and many have been unable to keep going and have been sold out. During the four years of BENNETT GOVERNMENT the citizens of Canada have witnessed conditions of DISTRESS, POV: ERTY, AND DESPAIR never before equalled in this his- tory of this great young country. In the face of these conditions Mr. Bennett as Prime Minister makes great speeches and tells us that poverty and privation after all are good for th people. In the face of the want and the suffering and the difficulties of the people MR. BENNETT defies parliament and the people’s representatives and spends his time paving the way for the RETURN OF TITLES in this country. WHEN THE GREAT MASS OF THE PEOPLE ARE FACING THE GREATEST DIFFICUL TIES OF LIFE MR. BENNETT IS TALKING ABOUT TITLES FOR HIS FRIENDS. Never before in the records of Canadian history has there been a government so out of tune with the needs and wishes of the people as the BENNETT government which has been in power in Ottawa for the past four years.

BENNETT has gone on and on paying fabulous salaries to high officials and even creating new boards and commissions such as the RADIO COMMISSION. MR. BENNETT introduced the TAX ON SUGAR, the TWO DOLLAR RADIO TAX and a hundred and one other taxes all born by the common people of this country and while he has been ignoring the needs and wishes of the people and piling new weight on their tax burden he has not been unmindful of his corporation friends who have been handed favor after favor.

If you are, vote for the Bennett candidate. If you are satisfied that the policies of the Bennett government have been in the best interests of this country and satisfied with the economic conditions of these years, by all means vote for the Bennett govern- ment candidate. If on the other hand, like the great ma- jority of people of this Dominion, you are thoroughly dis- gusted with the failure of the Bennett government to apâ€" preciate the Wishes and needs of the people, if you are tired of its failure to bring relief from the trials, economic diffi- culties and hardships of the past four years then VOTE AGAINST THE BENNETT CANDIDATE AND AGAINST THE BENNETT GOVERNMENT. On the strength of the most extravagant promises ever made by any political party in any country Mr. Bennett was elected to office. He promised to cure unemployment in three days. When he took office according to his own figures there were 117,000 unemployed.‘ To-day three are , ,4--- _-_ ___\.~,~.... flfiv ‘71-‘11 T‘Y nAxTAhA Your choice on Monday next is between a candidate supporting MR. BENNETT and the candidature of Col. W. P. Mulock who on every platform in this riding has de- nounced these conditions and the policies of the Bennett government which have been responsible in a large measure for these conditions. C01. Mulock as the Liberal candidate offers policies which will open again the avenues of trade and provide markets for Canadian products and work for Canadian labor. If by any mischance due to the indifference or care- lessness of the people 3 Bennett candidate should be elected in any one of the five by-elections on Monday Mr. Bennett will take it as an endorsation of his policies. He will take that he is right when he says poverty and privation are good for the people and he will go to still greater lengths in exploiting the masses of the people. THE PEOPLE HAVE THE REMEDY IN THEIR OWN HANDS. If the electors of North York let party predjudice or some un- worthy motive stand in the way of duty next Monday they will have no one but themselves toblame if they have some mfg;I of BENNETT TAXES and BENNETT EX'PLOITA- T .

There is little use of these speakers trying to again fool the people by telling What should be done and what wonderful things they are going to do when they are ashamed to discuss their own record of the past four years. The Bennett government has been in office four years and on Monday next the electors have an opportunity of ex- pressing their opinion regarding the kind of administration given by Mr._Bennett and. his cabinet.“ - r- A. :._-...M‘A.n“+ [111+‘7 Ever since his election Mr. Bennett’s cry has been that prosperity is just around the corner. He is still saying so. The supporters of the Bennett candidate in this riding are saying so. The people of North York will not be fooled again by MR. BENNETT and his promises.

Serve notice on the Bennett Government that the people of North York want a decent chance to make a decent honorable living which is the right of every citizen. BEAT BENNETT AND BAD TIMES. Vote for BILL MULOCK, defeat the Bennett candidate and give the people a chance. THE RECORD OF THE BENNETT GOVERNMENT IS THE ISSUE A number of speakers interested in the return of the Bennett candidate in this riding are going up and down the constituency doing a lot_ of talking, throwing up smoke :_. In A; [Jr-finn- IT IS YOUR DUTY TO VOTE The extreme unpopularity of the Bennett government throughout Canada is so evident that it is doubtful if a Bennett candidate could be elected in any riding of the Dominion. It is generally conceded that all of Monday's five by-elections in Ontario will register strong disapproval of Mr. Bennett and his policies. In North York it is con- ceded that the people will not tolerate the election of a supporter of the Bennett government. In fact this feeling is so general that there is a danger of the electors feeling so Subscription $1.50 per year â€" To the United at Covering Canada’s Best Suburban District.

Do you know What part of the world was first to rise out of the ocean? What town is built in the form of a wheel? Where the first clear telephone transmission took place? Where the world’s largest suspension bridge and the world’s largest liftlock are located? What canal locks through more ships in eight months than the Suez and Panama canals do in a year? In the formation of the world, the first land to rise from the ocean which covered almost its entire sur- face, was the height of land north of Lake Superior. At least, so the geologists tell us. As the waters receded more and more, a very high range of mountains formed around Hudson’s Bay, but in the Ice Age, when the glaciers swept down from the north, the rock was ground down and distributed by the glaciers over what is now the Mississippi Valley. The town of Goderich is built on the lines of a huge'wheel. The original plans were intended for Guelph and represented at large cen- tral octagonal place, with streets radiating from each angle of the octagon. Napoleon III’s street arâ€" rangement of Paris may have been the initial inspiration for the idea. The home of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, was in Brantford and now serves as a telephone museum. According to one of Bell’s letters, the first clear, suc- cessful message was sent along a line strung from Brantford to Paris, Ont., in 1876. Do You Know Your Canada ? The Ambassador Bridge, connecting Sandwich, 0nt., and Detroit, is the world’s largest suspension span. Five lanes of traffic at one time may cross the bridge, branching out to twenty- eight lanes at either terminus. Five thousand cars make the crossing at once, when the bridge is carrying its full capacity. The liftlock at Peterboro is the largest of its kind in the world. The complete lift, made by hydraulic pres- sure, something like an overgrown barber’s chair, is sixty-five feet. Each lock measures 140 feet in length by 33 feet in width and may accommodate shipping with a draft of nine feet, ten ins. The entire locking system is automatic. Connecting Lakes Huron and Super- ior, the five Sault Ste. Marie canals lock through more shipping in the short lake season of navigation than do both the Panama and Suez canals the whole year round. It is possible for the largest ocean liners built to pass through this great inland chain of canals. The idea of Standard' Time, now used the world over, was first in- vented by Sanford Fleming in the old Canadian Institute Building on Berti Street in Toronto, now the head- quarters of the Sons of England lodges. When Governor John Groves Simcoe first settled in Toronto, he made his home in a tent that was criginaily the property of Captain Cook, discoverer of New Zealand. Governor Simcoe purchased the tent from the Cook family in England, brought it out to Canada, and set it up at the mouth of the Garrison Creek what is now the foot of Bathurst Street. Maple.

It is so easy to let something of a business or social nature interfere with this duty when you feel that the result is so sure anyway.

The president opened the meeting with the “Institute Ode” followed by “The Lord’s Prayer.” The roll call “A Canadian Beauty Spot” was well responded to. During the business session it was decided to send a. do- nation to the Manitoulin Hospital. Following the business a splendid program was given with the Histor- ical Research Convenor, Mrs. W. Watson, in charge. The program consisted of a solo “School Days” by Mrs. Dalziel, two very interesting papers “Th-e History of the McLeary Farm" and “The HistOry of Edgeley" by Mrs. Watson. A reading “How to cook a Husband” by Mrs. A. Aitche- son and a piano duet by Misses Bertha and Greta Stong.

Take Will Rogers, for instance. A cowboy, expert with the rope, he is never given an opportunity to show the wares that led to his present high place on the screen. He has made 15 p‘ctures for Fox Film and has never played? the role of a cowboy. as You Feel” and“ “BusineSS and Pleasure,” he appeared as a business man, and in “Ambassador Bill,” he was a. politician; Full particulars from any C.N.R‘ ticket agent. In “They Had to See Paris,” he was a small town mechanic; in “So This is Londwm,” he was a well-to-do eountry merchant; in “Lightnin’,” he was the shiftless husband of an amâ€" bitious wife who ran a hotel; in “A Connecticut Yankee,” he played the rcle of a radio expert; in both “Young WILL ROGERS PLAYS VARIED PICTURE ROLES In “Handy Andy” Comedian Adds Henpecked Druggist to List (Advance) The thing they do best and‘ often the identical thing that got them into pictures, they are never permitted to do on the screen. Rogers was permitted to play him- self in “Happy Days,” but the role savored nothing of wild west. In “Down to Earth,” he was a pluto- cratic business man, and in his next picture, “Too Busy to Work,” he be- came a ragged, happyâ€"go-Iucky tramp Next, in “State Fair," he played the role of a farmer who specialized in hog raising. In “Doctor Bull,” he was a country physician; in “Mr. Skitch,” he appeared as the owner of a “fixit” shop; in “David Harum,” he was a banker and horse trader, and in his latest picture, “Handy Andy,” coming to the Capitol Theatre on Friâ€" day and Saturday, Sept. 21-22, he enacts the part of a small town druggist. Judging from ’advance reports “Handy Andy” is the funniest of the lot. Rogers portrays a henrpeck-ed husband whOSe wife wants him to sell his drug store and leacm how to play. And he does! Peggy Wood plays the wife, and. Conchita Monte- negro is one of the playmates. PRACTICAL PAINTER, PAPERHANGER, GRAINER, ETC.
