Tlio old ndngo "Wlioro thcro's n
Hill thero'n a wny" linn again proven
Itself. It took but two days tlma to
olilnln tlio BlgnnturcB of 25 residents
of Untnrlo nKrculnR to build ho'tfos
nlmoHt Immediately, anil already
numerous others luno voluntarily
otproAsed a doslro to join tlio II m

by tlio ornctlnn of a pormnjiont liomo
For months pHt much iIIhcuhhIoii
has tnkou plnco no to tlio host hoIu
tlon of tlio housing prolilont, Imt no
definite progromt mndo. Home pen
plo woro ready and willing to liulld

uccount of tlio supposedly lilgli prices
of liullillng mntorlnls. Tlio Com
mercial Cluli took tlio matter up and

hulldlng program la nssured
A city mtiHt either go nhead or go
buck, thero Ib no standing Htlll.
Otlior Iowiih liavo marked Activity In
tlio building line, then why not On
tario? TIiIh wan tlio question to bn
solved. I estimate Ontario linn lout
at leant forty families thin summer
Ihrough Inability to find Iioukob for
runt. Wo advertise and boiixt of
our excellent uducittlonal facilities
mid thoy aro hIii riiin non hut hou

Immediately let u contract tor the
eoiiHtructlun of a homo and the In
the hotel during ItH erection when
our morehnnts and profeslonnl men
nro rontura?
Upon nnnlyHlH I find Hint nl leant
fifty per cent of tlio signers will build
their hoiiHOH gratis. What I mean
hy that In, tlio additional vnluuin of
business thoy will secure through
tlilri movotuunt and tlio extra fa nil
Hot brought to Ontario, will more
than repay any Initial outlay of cap
ital. Tlio morchantR will noil more
gondii and tlio lawyor havo a butter
practice, to my uotlilng of the prop
orty ownor. Tor ovory Iioubo con
Htructed there will ho n direct Influ
ence upon tlio Intrinsic value of
property within n curtain radlim.
UiiIobb town Iota nro Improved, eith
er by the erection or n hulldlng or
brought under cultivation In tlio
Hhapn of kitchen garden or lawn,
they nro n Hot-back to a community
and worth loss thiui farm land. Why
loutlnui) thou to pay taxes; make
tlio IntH self supporting. The
itliruwod businessman would not al
low Hovornl hundred dollars to ro
iiialii long Idle, but hern In Ontario
comlltloiiB nro worsethousands of
dollarH nro tied up In unimproved
lyoperty upon which tho holders nro
paying Interest In tho form of tuxes,
and liiHtead of their holdlugH In
crcmilnK In vnluo nro actually worth
Iwm today than when orlglnnlly pur-
(ihimed I ImprovementH nlwnys gov
em tho legitimate valuation,
why not Improve. Outsldo rnpltnl
Ib anxious to como In here, but re
quires a HUlo encouragement. Who
known but what wo hnvo lost thru
this Inactivity hundrcdu of thous
inula of dollarn?
Again, a number of houses can he
constructed far moro cheaply than
ono or two. Hulldlng materials can
bo purchased In such quantities an
to make tho prlco within tho reach
of nil j twonty-flo car loads of lum
hor can naturally bo bought at a
bottor flguro than mntorlnl foronly
ono house. Then, too, tho labor
situation will adjust Itself. When
n contractor has bo much work In
sight to keep his men cmplo)cd ho
Ib nblo to glvo a better figure than by
oBtlmntlng on a Blnglo houso. Dur
ing tho past few days, through, I he
llovo tho result of thin movement,
sovoral homes hnvo changed hands,
iih well as n number of lots, but here
nro Bomo figures which can bo crl
fled very onslly and which should
govern, to a certain extent, tho
prices paid for property Ontario i
covers an nrcn of 1280 acres, or with
ten lots' to tho acre 12.800 lots;
thoro nro 387 houses built hero nod
figurine three lots to tho house
makes 1101 lots n little better
hyq onfl tonth of tho nvnllablo prop
Ktjrj 'Thirty now homes would
make nay ono hundred lots so that
Ptero uhould bo no oxcuso for not be
ing nblo to Bccuro tho right location
nt tho right prlco.
Now, tlion, tho movopiont Is well
under wny, lot's not Iobo any further
time In gottlng something Htnrtcd.
If wo all pull togulhor nnd boost It
Is surprising what n lot of good can
and will bo accomplished.

Tho operator of a tractor who
wishes to get tho most work out of
his machine and nt tho sumo time
prolong Its llfo should glvo pnrtlculnr
attention to tho matter of correct
lubrication. Tho Standard Oil Com
pany Is doing a splondld work In ed
ucating trnctor operators to tho use
of the correct grado of Zotolcno for
particular cnglno nnd 111 so In the
host method of taking euro of tho
lubricating system. Tho Company
hns n Hoard of Lubrication Englno
ors whoso business It Is to solvo lub
ricating troubles and to glvo advlso
regarding correct lubrication. The
company's salesmen nro always glad
to help out and nro constantly In
touch with tho operators of tractors
In addition to this, literature has
been prepared giving detail lubrlcn
Ing Instructions for every mako of
tractor. In this wuy tho company
Is trying to help operators get tho
greatest efficiency out of their equip
ment. Many operators who hnvo taken
ndvantngc of this valuable sorvlco
havo found that they can now get
far better results from their machine
Any operator, In ordor to dotermluo
Just how Importnnt a factor Is cor
rect lubrication In tho oporntlou of
his tractor, should drain tho lubri
cating oil from his crank case, cleat;
out tho crank enso In tho mrrect way
und fill with the grado of Zololono
which is recommended for his par
ticular motor. Many operators
havo done this, and as a result have
found that thoy can not only pull a
heavier load, but can do this with
tcsu fuol. This menus, of course,
that upkeep cost from the standpoint
of ropnlrs is very materially de
creased.
