MUNICIPAL
 OWNERSHIP

is topic you hear discussed very of, ten, particularly around election time. The other evening we heard three s'heeIers'' arguing the question; one was a full-fedged gobbler of all fran cfises, while the other two didn't en- tireK make up their minds. Well, tue first spokesman was "corker' with the gift of gab. He showed the others why the municipality should own the gas, the railways, the electric cars and electric lights and hundred and one other things, but he didn't seem to make the right impress sion until he showed that by control ling the breweries it would be 8 good thing. That settled it. Just at this stage of the conversation they took a walk and certain tea man got to thinking about municipal ownership ard the more he thought of the brew cries the heartier he laughed because he knew it would be a darn good thing if for no other reason than to make a vast majority of the voters take special interest about election. It's queer the stuff they make in brew cries takes such hold on people. How much better off they'd be if they would drink nothing stronger than tea and coffee. The kind we sell is the good kind If you don't believe us. try it. A few sleeve ironing boards left; one with a pound. Our butter is as usual the good kind, 25c per pound at
