Despite a smaller crop than usual this season, honey exports from Huron and Middlesex and Huron Counties to Great' Britain have in­ creased more than 20' per cent, this year according to figures compiled by the local branch of the Dominion department of Agriculture. The sup­ ply of top grade white honey for ex­ port has been exhausted in the dis­ trict and the last quantities of the buckwheat honey are now being shipped. Prices have been encourag­ ing and producers have received from three to four cents more per pound than last year. The supply of honey for domestic use is not plentiful here, although prices have been steady. Inquiries have been received here from Mich­ igan producers as to the prospects of shipping the American product into this part of Ontario. American honey is selling at about the same or slightly less than the local pro­ duct. One producer from Dorchester Township reports that he has re­ ceived a number of inquiries from Toronto regarding honey for do­ mestic use, but that ^he has been unable to meet the new demand. Average top-grade honey prices on the London market are two pounds 25 and 3Or cents; four pounds, 45 to 55 cents; eight pounds, 75 to 90 cents; and combs,' 25 centg. Popular etymology derives ‘news' from the initial letters of the four cardnal points of the compass - North, East, West and South. It is said that before the time of news­ papers it was customary to post events of general interest hi public places under four columns headed with the initials N. E. W. the happenings from the North being recorded under N, those from the East under E, and so on. Hence the word ‘news? The theory is without foundation. 'News’ is merely the plural of the word ‘new’............and originally meant new things. If any proof were needed to show the absurdity of the popular derivation, it is sup­ plied in the fact that in the 14th and 15th centuries, the word was variously written ‘newes,* ‘newis* and hiewys.’ HARDWOOD FLOORING for as low as 6c sq. ft.

TENDERS Lumber Company Phone 48, Exeter Kelvin ator Frigidaire Bargain at $50.00 W, J. Smith & Son Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Johnston had pleasant calls from Mr. Arthur Jones and his father, William J., of St. Thomas one day recently. The form­ er is rather pleased with the pros­ pect for a fair business there. On 'Saturday., Mrs. Johnston’s brother, Thomas Blake, of Ashfield, was able to spend a day with them and an enjoyable visit was made. He came down with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Blake and son, Keith, who were able to spend a short time with Mr. and Mrs. Johnston on their way back from London. Messrs. Jones were surprised with the large amount of snow we have here as they have very little around St. Thomas but as the Blakes from Ashfield had to mount the front axle of their car on the front bob of the farm sleigh and then with the aid of a span of horses and the auto engine they were able to cover the two miles to the highway before they could use their car and the banks of snow are in many places from 7 to 9 feet high along the highways. They Were surprised at what a small amount of snow -we have in the Exeter district. The happy medium for Us. BABY CHICKS A-l Baby Chicks for 29 years.
