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 little village about 15 Kilometres from Namur.

NEW TELhPHONE CHARGE j The Company now know, as the St. 'Marys, Mediaa and Riekton Telephone Company, Limited, was orgamized 14 years ago.
