A '.so it is suggested that conditions in the beer dispensaries might be improved if the sale of beer by the glass could he complemented with the serving of food. i Without passing judgment on the present system of liquor distribution it would seem that the ' government would be doing the democratic thing, in view of the apparent demand, to cause the holding of a plebiscite to obtain some sort of an expression of public opinion. The government holds that the majority of the-jpople are satisfied with the present liquor laws but tjiere are undoubtedly a great many people who do n,ut agree with the government in this view.

A From extreme sobriety in dress and ornamentation, we are launched into a sea of tints and shades. , The language of Color is universal. The power tft perceive and distinguish colors varies with individuals but it speaks to all. To some, only bright, elementary colors have appeal. Others are moved erjually by the most delicate of tints. Primitive peoples are affected by violent reds, yellows and greens the solid colors. The more sensitive and highly organized peoples show preference for the more subtle of shades and tints. ; Oriental peoples show marked preference for cplors that are vivid, poignant and glowing; a probable reason for this being that, in countries of intense sun-heat and consequent lethargy, bright colors stimulate both mind and body. The savage, dwelling in the dark recesses of jungle swamps, caves, mud-huts and the like, seeks lfelief from the depressing effect of his environment by adorning himself in the most vivid of hues; they brighten his life, prompt him to sing and dance and love. Color frees him from the monotony of the squalor in which he lives. A peacock feather is his niost prized possession. ! Colors have come down through the ages, an unbroken tradition. Red was worshipped by the savage as the embodiment of Life, the hue of his blood, the source of his energy to fight and love. In battle his body was splashed with crimson red. The sight of it stimulated him, goaded him on, gave him strength, life. Red has always been the martial banner. Rivers of blood have been loosed at its command. The savage loves it, adores it. Civilized man has learned better to appraise and use it. He knows we farmers need bank credit sometimes to put in a crop, sometimes to take off a harvest. If we need market information, he can get it for us. Remember when we electrified the farm? Our bank manager made me the loan. He's backed us up that way for years, helping us to improve our stock, increase production. And that's what our bank manager is there for -to help you and me to manage. He's a good man to know.
