FIND THE OIL (Milverton ,Sun) Speaking at Goderich recently, J. G. Ferris, geologist and prospector in addressing a gathering of busi ness men in that town, said that there was enough natural gas in the counties of Huron, Perth and Grey to supply Western Ontario for the next three hundred years. Mr. Ferris we fear, has just been trying to tickle the ears of his hearers. Drill ings have been made from time to time in these counties to a depth of 1,800 and 2,000 feet but there has been no evidences either of oil or gas. Over twenty years ago gas was discovered at Hepworth in Bruce ■County but the supply was not suf ficient to heat and light the village for a period much longer than a year If Mr. FeiTi'is (wants to prove to the people of this section of Western Ontario of the presence of oil or gas he will have to adduce better proof than the making of bold and unsup ported statements. HOME-TOWN NEWSPAPER Oh, the old home town newspaper What a part in life it plays! Heaps a public debt of gratitude Which the public never pays. Where to go for thrifty shopping If you wish to spare your roll; When and where to pay the taxes Or to buy your winter’s coal. All the pungent friendly gossip From small towns for miles ’round Fun, wit, poetry, religion, In the brilliant page is found; Latest news from foreign countries, Round the world from pole to pole; Weath of wisdom—heaps of know ledge, All are these, upon my soul! Who to vote for at election, How to make jam, how to can; How to choose the right direction To grow up to be a man. When a naked, helpless infant ■One is launched upon this earth ’Tis the old home-town newspaper Gives the records of one’s birth. Were you “lost or strayed or stolen” (Concentrate down Mem’rys track) You’ll recall the old town paper Gave the clue that fetched you back. Older grown, with dim forebodings, In th$ school your lot is cast, Till the old home-town newspaper Prints the joyful news “You’ve passed.” Later on you won a sweetheart, In the church were safely wed; , Did that old home-town newspaper Lose all interest, cut you dead? No! It gave such glowing write-up, ■So admired your beauteous bride, That your soul was filled with rap ture, And your heart near burst with pride. Were you “hero” in an accident, A drowning or a fire, How that paper held you “spotted” For the whole world to admire. Was it singing, playing, dancing You performed upon the stage? That old paper made you feel like A predestined “public rage.” 'Like a sentinel of Heaven Its calm editorial eye Watches o’er us,- scans our frailties, (Still regrets us when we die. We’ll not say that life’s all 'flat tire’ Nor this world a “rotten sink,” While the old home-town newspaper Gratis, spills its magic ink. WILLIAM WESTBROOK Detroit, U.G.A. ZURICH JUNIOR INSTITUTE The August meeting of the Zur- • r Institute was held in the town hall with a -fairly large atten dance.

RESEARCH A few weeks. ago a conference was held at Dearborn, Michigan, in which eminent industrialists, scien tists and farmers took part. It was called a “Chemurgic” conference, the Word meaning, roughly, putting chemistry to work. The purpose was to find new ways to adapt the pro ducts of the farm or products that could be grown on farms to indus trial use. In. that line of research the Assoc iate of (fitate Universities, including the Land Grant colleges, has pointed out that the major developments in the application of scientific methods in agriculture have been the result of research conducted in those tax- supported institutions. •All the folk who talk about stop ping where we are and not trying to go any further in any direction— of standardizing everything at its present statute—are talking plain foolishness, Out of the research laboratories are coming, almost coming every day, discoveries which are the seeds of new industries -for the future, and which will eventual ly make life easier, richer .and hap pier for everybody. Who wants to stop that? BARNS BURNED Robert Smith, commercial orchard- ist, in Clinton, lost hie barn and out buildings in a spectacular fire Sat urday night.
