SHOULD BE REPRESENTED
In this column we have often sug
gested that the contracting municipal
ities should have a representative on
the Ontario Hydro Electric Commis
sion. This matter was brought up at
a meeting of the Municipal Electric
Association at Niagara Falls last week
and president F, C. Elliott of the As
sociation was appointed to interview
Premier Hepburn with respect to fill
ing the present vacancy in the Com
mission with a representative of the
contracting municipalities.
The municipalities not only use the
power supplied by the commission but
have very heavy investments in the
enterprise and arrangements should
be made for them to be fairly repre
sented on the commission. We would
suggest that the constitution of the
commission be changed to read that
the commission included a represent
ative of the contracting municipalities.

Only those who have suffered from
lumbago know how exceedingly pain
ful It can be. And when they discov
er a remedy for this complaint, they
are anxious to pass on the good news
to other sufferers. Let this man tell
you how Kruschen brought him re

“I had a bad attack of lumbago,
When I got into bed I had to stay in
that position—-! could not move for
pain, I didn’t know what to take or
what to do. I was advised to try
Kruschen Salts and I am very grate
ful I did so. After taking a few dos
es I felt relief, and after taking one
large bottle, I am glad to say that
my lumbago had entirely gone, and I
have not had the slightest trace of it
coming back.”—G.A.V,
Kruschen is a combination of num
erous mineral salts which assist in
stimulating your liver and kidneys to
healthy regular activity. They ensure
internal cleanliness, and so help to
keep the blood-stream pure.

Shot In Leg

near the hedge at the latter’s home
procured his shot gun, and let go, not
realizing that Mr. Mooney was on the
other side of the hedge hidden from
view. The shot broke the rabbit’s leg
but as well one of the pellets lodged
in the calf of Mr. Mooney’s leg near
the bone.—Listowel Sentinel,

Bees Halt Traffic
We have seen various things includ
ing herds of cattle interfere with
traffic on main street but on Monday
about noon a large swarm of bees
took possession of the main street.
Drivers halted their cars on either
side of the swarm, hesitating to get
in the way of the bees. Finally the
attention of the queen was attracted
and they swarmed on one of the
peony bushes at the library and were
captured.—Brussels Post.

Kindle Bonfires in Sheds
Through their actions of persisting
in playing with matches and contin
ually lighting bonfires in the sheds
at the Presbyterian church, a number
of small boys have created a state of
nervous tension in the neighborhood.
On a number of occasions household
ers have been called upon to exting
uish the?e fires, fortunately, so far,
before they have reached and ignited
any part of the building, and although
complaints have been made to the att-
thoritiesand the police in turn have
warned the parents of the misdeeds
ofi their offspring it has been of no
avail for the habit still continues and
some promising fires have recently
been extinguished in the nick of time.

Grew Tall Wheat
John Herbert, of Logan, left a
sample of fall wheat in this office, the
tallest he has even 'seen and of the
finest quality. Some of the wheat was
pulled on Saturday, six' feet five inch
es in height while that picked two
days later had grown two inches to
reach the six feet ,seven inches mark.
There are two acres of this wheat
growing in an old orchard, none be
ing less than six feet tall. Mr. Her
bert also has eighteen acres of fall
wheat in a field, the average of which
is six feet, and he expects the crop
to be a bumper one.—Mitchell Advo

CLIFFORD BOWED
TO CENTRAL NINE
Central Leaguers Cop Game by 13-7
Score
On Wednesday afternoon of last
week the Central League Club made
the Clifford gang more chilly than the
weather when they took them, into
camp at the Town Park to the tune
of 13 to| 7.
Bill Groves pitched the whole game
for the locals; he struck out four and
allowed eight scattered hits. The sup
port he received was not so good, his
helpmates having eight errors. This
was the second game in a row for the
sorrel-top and he stood up well. Peip-
er pitched the first 5% innings for
Clifford, he allowed 8 hits but walk
ed five men and hit three batters.
Kruspe, who relieved him, pitched
well except that Lediet and Groves
banged a home-run each off his de
livery in. the 7th. Only one other hit
was speared off his offerings.
The Central Club are now firmly
established in second place and they
should be able to keep this up and'
be in the play-offs. Bill Lediet again
did the receiving and outside a few
wild pegs to bases was very good.

Entering a Store
you are Courteous—
When You Enter Traffic
WHEN we enter or leave a store we are all most courteous.
We stand back for one another, hold open the doors, make f
way for the children and otherwise act in a courteous manner
towards our fellow-shoppers. But do we continue' this same i
friendly mental attitude towards each other when we get back I
into our cars and enter traffic again? To our fellow-shopper,
for whom we held the door Open, do we show courtesy when he
becomes our fellow-motorist?
uin ®“* iMlentiott to pass by sounding our
horn? Haying passed him, do we get well ahead of him before
swinging back again into our traffic lane? Do we dip or dim
our lights when we meet him at night? Do we keep well to the
right side pf the road when meeting him? Do we give him the
benefit of the doubt in a “tight corner” so We can both get out
of it unhurt? And do we, in the many other ways that come
to Our mind, act and think towards bur fellow-motorist in the
same kindly and considerate manner as we did when we held
the door open for him as a fellow-shopper?
I earnestly request that, when you get behind the wheel of your
car or truck, you continue to be the same courteous person that
you are afoot and “Try Courtesy” every inch of the way*
By so doing you will help to make motoring a Safe and enjoyable
mode of travelling.
