Case -Donaldson -Whereas the Aud- itors in their statement to this council in February, 1916, stated that the treasurer did not enter the Legislative grant in cash book for the year 1915, as received Dec. 31st, 1915, whereas it now appears that said grant was mailed to County Treasurer on December 31st and could only have been received on Jan. 1st, I916, therefore at the request of the Auditors, this council wishes to correct this slight oversight. -Carried.

ER DREAMS CAME TRUE Life Unbearable from Indigestion Health Restored by "Fruit -a -fives' SEND THE NEWS One of the most difficult tasks in a newspaper office is in getting the facts relative to births, marriages, deaths, accidents and other happenings in the community. Many people take it for granted that when a person dies the editor is familiar with every detail, the life of the deceased and his ac- tivities, when as a fact he sometimes knows absolutely nothing about him, but he has to get his information from 'other sources, same as other persons would have to do. It is the same with marriages or other more or less im- portant happenings in the community In almost every case the editor has to dig up the particulars or satisfy him. self and his readers with a meagre and inaccurate account. The patrons can hardly overestimate how much he ap- preciates any efforts they make in furnishing the facts for news items. Send your items of news to The Times.

The Times Office STONE BLOCK Wingham, Ont CANADA'S RAILWAYS GROW Interesting data respecting the oper- ating of Canadian railways are em- bodied in the annual report of John LambertPayne, comptrollor of railway statistics, tabled in Parliament last week. Operating mileage for the year ended June 30 increased by 4,787 miles. The total now is 35,583 miles. There has been an increase of 15,000 miles in the last ten years Ontario leada with 10,. 703 miles and the year's increase was 1,448. Saskatchewan is second with 5.328 miles, Manitoba tjtird with 4,S98 and Quebec fourth with 4,677. Capitalization increased in the year by $1,875,810,888. Cash subsidies up to date total $238,831,924. Gross earnings declined to $199,743,072, or by 17 per cent. Net earnings were $52,111,973, a decrease of $12,000,000.. A total of 46,- 322,035 passengers and 87,204,848 tons of freight were catried in 1915, represen'- ing a decrease of 380,245 in passengers and 14,189,151 in tons of freight.

There were, however, no casualties among the 1,000 German prisoners Not only interest but real value at- taches to the question of chrefully not- ing the individual performance of each cow in the herd. It is only after keep- ing a complete record that one finds such a strange contrast as this: of two five year old cows in doff the fresh the same day, both dried same week, one gave 5,454. pounds of milk and 213 pounds of fat, the other gave only 3,570 pounds of milk and 153 pounds of fat. Most probably the own- er would not have taken on a bet at the beginning of the season that one cow could bring in over twenty-two dollars more than the other, but she did. In another section, of two cows the same age, one gave 8,430 pounds of milk and 362 pounds of fat, but the other gave only 1,G90 pounds of milk and 67 pounds of fat, Is there adiff- erence of eighty-eight dollars in the earning power of any two cows in your herd? Building up a profitable dairy herd in- cludes the selection of good individual cows. The rational method is to weigh the milk and test samples regularly for fat, Write to the Dairy Division, Ottawa, for information on cow testing, so that your selection may be intelligent, 1 T mailed direct oreceipt , Toronto,fpriceyOn e so that your profits may be larger. :%0440,04440000004000446000440040004404.00•00000.400040 •04005®04000''0m0400.O'QAC'X40440040004404.00.00000.40004© • The Duke of Devonshire owns what is claimed to be the rarest book in Europe.

More than twelve thousand letters, containing thirty thousand suggestions, have been received by the City Clerk of Berli , in the competition to obtain a new naine for that city. Giovanni Correll, apparently out of curiosity, put his head under a 1,300 pound steam hammer at the Billings - Spencer plant in Welland and tripped it with his foot at the same time. His head was smashed flat. Up to March 15 Ontario had en. rolled 117,570 men for overseas ser- vice. and Quebec but 29,093 men, or neairly four to one.
