THE JUNE SESSION OF
THE COUNTY COUNCIL
(Continued from Page 4)
Re motion of illesare. Nairn and
Stewart with reference to formulating
some general scheme whereby the im.
portant matter of aiding and assisting
returned aisablecl eoldiers to suitable
positions can be handled satisfactorily,
the committee recommended that a
central executive committee of the
Soldiers' .Md Commission be formed in
the -town of Goderich, also a local
branch in each municipality, coneiet,
ing of the Reeve and the War Auxiliary
for the purpose of looking after the in-
terests of returned soldiers of their
municipality to report to the central
executive at Goderich. They
further recommended that the
County Soldiers' Aid Commission
be linked up with the Provincial
Soldiers' Aid 0ommiesion and that all
necessary expenses arising therefrom
be met by the county council, when
certified by the Warden, the county
treasurer and the president of the ex-
ecutive of Goderich.
Re motion of Meesers. J. A. Stewart
and 0. A. Nairn that the council go on
record as strongly in favor of Good
Roads and that they keep in touch
with and join the Provincial Good
Roads Association and have represent,
naives attend their annual convention
and report baok to this board, we re-
commend that no action be taken,
Re motion of Messrs J. M. (Moven.
lock and Chas. Stewart, that this
county take up the Good Roads Sys-
tem and act on it as soon as possible,
we in our opinion, think this to be a
trove in the proper direction but
would leave the question to the coun-
cil as a whole to decide whether any
action be taken at present or not.
It was moved by A. E Erwin and
seconded byP. W. Smallacombe, that
she Warden, J. M. Govenlock, 3. A.
Stewart of Seaforth, and C. Stewart of
Ashfield, and J. M. Taylor be a com•
mittee to look into the Good Roads
question and report at the December
session of the council, also that the
Reeves of the different municipalities
take it up in Municipal Council and be
prepared to report the feeling of coun-
cils at December session..
In amendment it was moved by
Messrs John Shortreed and Mr. Arm-
strong that no action be taken at the
present time.
The amendment was lost, only five
members voting for it, and the motion
carried,
To Use Small Oriental Rugs.
The abuse of the small oriental rug,
no less an object of art than of utility,
is an especially common mistake. By
all logic any rug used for a floor cover-
ing should emphasize the function of
the floor as a solid foundation under
our feet. To do this it must honor and
obey the lines of the floor, at least that
part which it decorates. Yet time and
again, where several small rugs are
tised for the carpeting of a room, we
find them all thrown down on the
bins, often at different angles. With
none of the sides of a reg parallel to
the bounding litres of the floor, we are
made conscious of a new decorative
idea, one built on top of and nt cross
purposes with the original One. Chairs,
tables and other pieces of furniture
Hurst then be placed either•to conform
with the position of the rugs or With

fusion of ideas,.a room. which seems

On Friday morning It was tnoyed by
Messrs. Elliott and Lobb that the mat-
ter of increasing the grant to the Wat
Auxiliary for the i(tlst battalion be
reconsidered,--0arried.
It was then mooed by Messrs, Nairn
and Love that the following wordsbe
added to clause 3 of the report of the
executive committee:—That any fur-
ther expenditure that the Warden ath,n1
Treasurer find necessary over this
amount will be guaranteed by this
council.—Carried,
ROADS AND DRIDCXES
The road and bridge committee re-
ported as follows:
That the engineer's report be accept-
ed and printed in the minutes.
Re motion of Messrs Erwin and Ford
re having approaehee to Bayfield bridge
from Bayfield side filled in so al to
avoid the sharp turns, we recommend
that the engineer and road and bridge
committee report the same,'
Re motion of Messier Taylor and
Elliott to raise the. bridge at Exeter
oue foot and have the county con-
struct a permanent roadbed for 100 ft.
at eaoh end of the bridge', as the bridge
floor is one foot below the road level,
we recommend that no action be
taken,
Re motion of Messrs Neep and
Smallacombe that the abutment of St:
Joseph's bridge be repaired, as the
water will soon -be cutting below the
abutments, we recommend that the
engineer and the road and bridge com-
mittee examine the same,
Re motion of Messrs. Bissett and
Stewart that the bridge on the bound-
ary between Ashfield and Qolhourue,
about one mile east of Sheppardton,
be added to the county bridges, we re-
commend that the engineer and road
and bridge committee examine the
same.
Re Buller and Pike bridge we re-
commend that we accept the ruling of
the Railway and Municipal Board as
final,
Re motion of 3, Leckie and Dr.
Milne, that the county grant the vil-
lage of Brussels $145 to construct a
permanent macadam road over the
approach of the 100 ft. for which they
are responsible to keep up the north
end of the Brussels bridge, we re-
commend that the county grant $145.
Re motion of Messers Bissett and
0 ig, that the abutments at the Salt -
Cord bridge be encased with cement
as they are in a dangerous condition,
we recommend that this be left in the
hands of the road and bridge commit-
tee,
Re motion of Messrs. Stewart and
Dalton, that the bridge over the Nine
Mile river in the Township of Ashfield,
unown as the Dungannon bridge be
esteemed and built by the county this
year, we recommend that the road and
bridge committee examine the same.
Re motion of Messrs Smallacombe
and Erwin, that the road called the
Deviation Road between Turnherry
and East Wawanosh be referred to the
road and bridge committee with power
to take solicitor's advice. The com-
mittee consulted tlfe county solicitor
and in his opinion the deviation des-
cribed is, for the purpose of the Muni-
cipal Aot, a boundary line between
municipalities. Mr. Hays wrote, "If
the councils of the local municipalities
interested fail to agree as to maintain-
ing or repairing the deviation road and
desire to apply to the council cf the
e runty of Huron,to determine the dis
pute, the application shall be by a
petition of the majority of the rate.

The voice of a Canadian bushtnan

sor Park, or the Now Forest or ether

?could bo incongruous, but it may be
'ward Soon, One mono of the many
strange situations brought about by
the great war will bo that French-
Canadian axmen are shortly to be set
to work cutting out the trees on the
ancient crown timber reserves of
Britain.
The deerth of lumber in Great I3rI--
tain, due to war conditions, has led
the British Government to take a mo-
mentous decision, that of sacrificing
the national timber. heritage. •
The° British War Office has just
raked the Canadie,n Government to
raise a battalion of woodsmen to
help in cutting out the timber; re-
sources of the British Isles, and the
battalion is in process of„formation,
There is a great dearth of lumber in
the country, because the British sup-
ply has been practically all import-
ed, and now freight rates are Prohibi-
tive, and, still greater handicap,
there is lack of bottoms for lumber
carrying purposes. The vessels are
engaged in the transport and muni-
tions trade.
So the strapgest military unit that
has yet been seen in the Dominion
will shortly sail for England, as soon
probably as a transport may. be
found to carry it.
The battalion will be 1,500 strong,
15 companies of 100 men each, It
will have the usual military organiz-
ation, and will wear the universal
kbalci, but its weapon will be the
ax, not the rifle. Its duties will be
to cut down trees, in England, not
to shoot at unseen Germans in Fland-
ers, It will drill, however, much as
the ordinary unit drills, leaving out
the manual of arms. Axmen, saw-
yers, teamsters, these will'be picked
from every part of Canada, wherever
trees grow and men cut'them down.
The principal state forests in Eng-
land are New Forest, in Hampshire,
76,000 acres, and the Dean Forest. in
Gloucestershire, 22,500 acres. The
total extent of .crown forests is about
126,000 acres. A large proportion of

notable are the Earl of Mansfield's,

Atholl's larbh plantations near Dun-
keld, 10,000 acres, and in Strathspey,
a large extent of Scotcli pine, partly
native, partly planted, belonging to
tho Earl of Seafield. In the forests
of Mar and Invercauld, the native
pine attains a great size, and there
aro also large tracts of , indigenous
birch to various districts:

Canada May Profit.
If twenty German scholarships at
present granted under the) Rhodes
Trust are cancelled, it is probable
that Canada will benefit, but the
writer understands that legislative
proposals in this matter have not yet
been drafted. Some difference of
opinion exists among the committee
regarding the advisability of early
action., aotne favoring postponement
until the end of the war, and a mere
suspension of German privileges in
the meantime. The mere report that
cancellation was under considera-
tion has resulted in numerous appli-
cations from universities all over
the world, especially from the pre-
sent allies of Great Britain. Germany
is the only foreign country benefiting
by Rhodes scholarships. This was the
result of the magnate meeting the
Kaiser. In the event of legislation
going through there is reason to be-
lieve that the allies would be given
the preference, and as regards Can -
Ida it 'would be the West which

The Tyrant in the Field,
There have been few commanders SO.
tyrannous as Lopez, the dictator of
Paraguay, when in the war of 1805-70
it fought single handed the neighbor-
ing countries of Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay. Lopez, says Mr. W. H. Koe-
bel in his "Argentina," was wont to
carry the theory of victory or death
to an uncomfortable point. "Officers
were executed for mere remarks
whose tone felt beneath the standard
of confidence that Lopez had set up for
himself. One, for instauce was shot
for having announced in the course of
his duty that the enemy was strongly

effect that the Paraguayan nrmy was

and forget its own."
Yawning.
Yawning is a peculiar net and one
that has never yet been properly ac-
counted for. It is not by any means a
sign of fatigue only, although it is
sometimes • produced by overexertion.
But an attack Of yawning comes en
much more quickly if one is intensely
bored, and certainly a stuffy atmo-
sphere tends to produce it. It is also
noticeable that when oue has gone con-
siderably past one's mealtime the ten-
dency to yawn frequently becomes ir-
resistible. A very peculiar feature of
this complaint is its infectiousness;
one person can easily set half a dozen
all yawning in turn. When present in
a very marked extent it is supposed to
be the outcome of anaemia, indiges-
tion or some other complaint,
