MAIL CONTRACT AWARDED Mr. Milford iSchilbe has recently been awarded the four year contract of courier of Route No. 1, Zurich, with duties to commence on October 1st, this route was in charge of Mr. Seth Adams the past term. •J* There’ll be lots and lots to do for everybody. ******** Mother is putting a little extry in the way of seasonin’ into those pumpkin pies. ******** Third week in September and no frost. Old Man Depression, please stay away, . . And those weeks of fine weather! How they (have helped out the coal bin, and the garden sass and the corn and the pasture and the peaches and swelled out the apples and spiled the small per- taters and helped Molly smile and given the Eligible maidens hope and courage. This surely is a great fall. ******** Great to hear those farmers say "Mr. Grocery Man, I’d like to see you at the desk. Prices are good and here’s a little some­ thing to help you out a bit. Many thanks for supplying the pantry when times were difficult!” Those are great speeches to be mak­ ing these days. They beat hollow those political wind-baggers ******** GOOD TO THINK ABOUT These days when one is busy till dark loading corn it is a great comfort to think of what is waiting in the house. Mother has been out seeking the biggest, juiciest and best flavored apples. We saw her just this minute. She has just made the real thing in crust for a deep apple pie. In spite of all modern inventions, and such, mother knows how to make and how to bake piecrust, the thick, flaky, fragrant, delicious sort. She knows how to prepare those apples. Then the miraculous way she can season. She does not use any of those prepared affairs, but a mixture of everything that is good, a royal compound that her mother told her about. Then there’s the cream'. We 'had almost forgotten to mention the forerunner .of the pie, the wonderful scalloped potatoes and the cold beef cut just right. Of course there is the homemade bread and the butter. Say, you town unfortunates! don’t you wish you had supper at our place? But, then, you haven’t our supper sauce, a rousing appetite that would shame a wolf. Country life for us.. ******** NOT SURPRISED It seems that the Board of Education of Hamilton resolved to give the school youngsters of Hamilton a rare treat by having them (hear one of the finest bands in this big old world. Of course the whole thing was turned over tot a committee, composed of old maids or bachelors, we’ll allow. It must have been that way for the com­ mittee turned the youngsters loose, about 3,000 of them, without their natural guardians or supexwisors or enemies, as you may think of them, to guide the young idea in the way of an atistic treat. What followed was what was to be looked for. Those 3,000 young Canadians “bust loose” and raised old Ned generally. A fig for the gaffers if they done otherwise. You recall your own youth, don’t you? A lot of people are sobbing over the occurrence. We’re not. We know the lads and lassies of this day, and we like them. They are .great. They behave splendidly under reasonable auspices. We addressed this crowd one day last summer and never got better at­ tention—and we’re no- Mitch or Sir Wilfred. Eleven hundred of these lackers composed one of best behaved crowds we ever spoke to. But, y'ou see, the teachers were there and Mr. Kelly, the Prin­ cipal was looking on. If there’s any spanking to be done for this outbreak, the youngsters should not get the warming. Give those youngsters another chance, under the proper control, and Hamilton will prove herself O. K. Kiddies are still kiddies and we’re glad that they are. Someone blundered, that’s all. • ***♦**• THE EXPECTED HAS HAPPENED We’re not at all surprised that Spain finds herself in a con­ dition that excites at once the pity and the contempt of the world We pity the sufferers who are in no way responsible for the wanton bloodshed and1 the uncalled for cruelty. We have nothing but con­ tempt for the blundering ruling class who have sown the dragon’s teeth that has resulted in this harvest of massacre and ruin of art treasures beyond all price and that cannot be replaced while waters run and grasses .grow. ■For centuries the ruling classes of .Spain have regarded them­ selves as an elect, privileged body, elected to gratify their own whims and selfish ambitions, and privileged to suck the lifeblood of the mass of people whom they regarded as clods. These rulers, 'blinded by their own selfishness, refused to learn any lesson from history. Instead being among their people as those who served, they laid the mines that are now blowing them to pieces. It is high time that the pompous donothings in church and state of other countries was waking up. Government can no longer shelter itself behind its authority. Religion can no longer hide itself behind its sanctity. Law cannot plead its majesty. Needs are to be met. Duties are to be discharged. (Services are demand- .»ed. Church and state in lands now peaceful must be up and doing or what is going on in Spain will prove as a baby's finger to a giant's thigh by comparison, should the mob assert itself. These days of prosperity must be well used by all in authority to lay wisely and kindly, broad-based upon the people’s welfare, those measures that cannot but issue in the good of the whole nation. Prosperity brings with it it’s obligaions. w. C. T. U The September meeting of W. C. T. U. was held in Main Street Church on Thursday last the presi­ dent in the chair. After the open­ ing hymn and prayer the routine business was dealt with. Miss Ho­ garth and Miss E. Murdock were chosen as delegates to the provincial convention to be held in Guelph on October 6tlh to 9th. Mrs. Cook was appointed Press reporter. An inter­ esting program was given by the Hensall members. Miss Consitt gav a fine reading, “The Two Pictures’ Mrs. Hess sang very beautifully “Ai Evening Prayer” and Miss Murdocl read a striking piece which was broadcasted over the 'radio recently entitled “The Heavenly Postoffice.” Miss Jean Murray then gave a won­ derful address on the work of the W. C. T. U. call for the self that we the Kingdom needs better _ . , ents, better homes and better social 'Conditions and the various depart­ ments of the W. C. T. U. are work­ ing to this end. There are 29 de­ partments in all. The work in Sun­ day and day schools and colleges educate the children in scientific temperance and reaches the parents through the children.

NEW LICENSES NOVEMBER 1ST. As a means of saving motorists of Ontario several thousand dollars in transfer fees and also to stimulate the automobile business during the early winter months. Ontario motor vehicle permits will be available to the public on November 1. This was announced by Premier Hepburn in the absence of Hon. T. B. McQues- ten, minister of highways, who is at (present on an inspection tour of Northern highways. Motorists purchasing cars during the last two months of the year will not only be saved the transfer fee o ?2 but those purchasing new cars will also save the half-yearly fee formerly collected during these two months. The 'change, inaugurated last year, is designed to assist the automobile industry by encouraging purchases during the period of en­ thusiasm aroused by the display of new models during the annual mo­ tor shows. The plates for coronation year will have white figures and letters and will display white crowns on a military scarlet background. The numbering system allows a maxi­ mum of five characters, only one letter being used on any plate. The variation is accomplished by chang­ ing the postion of the letter among the figures. It is understood there will be no change in the schedule of fees for the regulation of motor vehicles. Modern Proverbs Every picture tells a story. The darkest hour is before the pawn. What the eye doesn's see the foot trips over. Where singleness is bliss, ’tis fol­ low to be wives. ■One touch of sunshine makes the whole wo-rld skin.

HANDSOME SUM FOR FLOCK OF HENS A woman in Howick Township made quite a considerable profit on some chickens last week, according to an unofficial story that has come to light. The woman was approach­ ed by two men who wanted to buy, a number of her chickens but she refused to sell. They returned later and again wanted to buy the chickf­ ens, according to the story. The wo­ man again refused to sell her chick­ ens. The next morning when she went out to feed the fowl she found that they had been stolen. However while she was searching about the yard, .possibly looking for some traces of the thieves she found a pocket-book containing $400. A tidy •price for her chickens.—Goderich Star.
