Our Corner
It is said that the Ontario Goeern.-
nient well take over the liquor bust
Hess of this province. In this way it
is hoped to overcome abuses as .far
as possible; ia the giving of prescrip-
tions; to prevent unnecessary incon-
venience to those legitimately requir-
ing liquor for anedical purposes; to el-
imlutate all private gain and insure a
supply of pure liquor to those who
are entitled under the law to purchase
it.
In agricultural, products the County
of Huron stands high bath as to the
quantity and quality as compared with
the other counties in Ontario. In
quantity Heron is third for horses,
third for cattle, fourth for swine,
second for poultry, fourth for barley,
first for oats, first for flax, third for
Haired grains, second for naangels, sec-
ond for beans, third for hay and for
glover, third for orchards> Without
going any farther it is easy eo 'see
that Iluron takes no back seat in
agriculture.
Tom Sanders, writing from Belgium
on Dee. 24th, to his parents, Mr. and
Met T. G. Sanders, says in part, ---
Christmas Iivc, and, here we are in a

It is est mated that 590,000 bushels
of oats suitable for se_d!ng purposes
may be obtained from Ontario for
Southern, Saskatcherae and Albertat
The District Representaeivres of the
Provincia' Department of Agriculture
have beer, requested to assist in pro-
eureatt this supaly, but the prevalence
of wild oats throughout parts of Cel
tral and Western Ontario will prevent
meat- farmers from tek-ing edvantage.
'of the peem um offered, There is a
f'leztitu'a supply' in 'Manitoba of oats
polluted with wild oats, which may
be obtained, at a, lower Bost, but it is
hoped that Ontario farmers can sup=

NEW TELhPHONE CHARGE
j The Company now know, as the St.

years ago. The promoters, started out
with the idea of ,upp]Ying a small rur-
