STRATFORD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) (All communications, letters, etc, left with Mr H j. Hopkins, booKseiier, will receive uromnt tUcntiuu.) YESTERDAY'S POLL. Stratford, April 11. To-dny the main topic of conversation was nn the polling yesterday, and "Your Own" had an opportunity of seeing several workers on both sides.

Kegarding "The Trade," the advocates for continuance consider the results so far achieved are very satisfactory, wliile the temperance advocates indicate a feeling of disappointment at the majority being so small. While Stratford showed an increase for prohibition compared with ilie last election, continuance was also an improvement on 1914. The Stratford temper, workers believe the majority is .. nough to prevent the revoles to change the result, and thai liieir eil'orts to secure prohibition for the Dominion have not been in vain.

Although shipping arrangements are far from being regular or satisfactory, Mr. C. E. James has been fortunate in landing some splendid sets of English china tea-sets, ranging in price from £1 18s to £2 2s Gd ('2l pieces). Later on, dinner and other sets are expected. Those in need of tea-sets would be well advised to call and see Mr. James' shipment, which are unique 'in design and the prices are unapproachable. Still a good range of ladies' hand-bags to clear.—Advt.
