he operated by a water power on his
farm. He and his parents came to Kin-
loss in the pioneer days from Ingersoll

privation during the clearing of the
land. After moving to Lucknow Mr.

atchewan and proved up on a homestead

three sons and two daughters: J. J.
Smith on the old home farm; William,

LIVE STOCK :Club HT1.
Torcnto, Aug. 21 -Trading in cattle
was very slow this morning, the heat
tending to keep the market within easy
bounds. Receipts were only moderate-
sized, and the selling dragged along
considerably in the course of the day.
Prices were little changed from the
week -end quotations, except that hogs
dropped about fifty cents. This was
not unexpected, however, as the price
has been regarded as unusually high
for some time back.
The receipts were 164 carloads with
3,210 cattle, 184 calves, 790 hogs, 1,465
sheep and lambs.

on learning of the death of John B.
Mackenzie, who lived with his yon -in-
law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John
1VIcKay, Lake Shore Range. Prepara-
tions were made for hauling in grain,
and Mr. McKay had gone to a neigh-
bor's to secure help. In his absence
Mr, McKenzie and two young sons of
Mr, McKay undertook to put on a load
in the field, the old men, going on the
wagon to build, the load. An unexpect-
ed start of the team caused him to fall
to the ground. He alighted on his head
and his neck being dislocated, he died
instantly. He was 72 years of age.
The funeral took place on Friday of
John McKenzie, of Ashfield Township,
brother of Thos. McKenzie and Mrs.
Wm. Cooper, of Clinton. Mr. Mc-
Kenzie was in his 72nd year, and was
assisting in taking off the harvest at
the home of his son-in-law, John Mc-
Kay, of Kintail, and while on a load of
grain was overcome by heart -failure
and fell of the load. He fell on his
head, but the doctors think it was not
the fall that caused his death as no
bones were broken. Two daughters
survive him. He had lived almost all
his life in Ashfield Township, coming
here as an early settler from lower
Canada over -50 years ago.

fighting Against Ourselves
--for You
FOR many years the publishers of weekly newspapers have
fought against raising the price of their paper from $1.00 to
$1S0—just because they feared to take a step that might
"get them in wrong" with their subscribers. Yet all these years
the costs of publishing have been mounting up. up, up to an
alarming point.
Now war has brought the matter to a head. It has added "the last strain"
Paper prices, ink prices, the prices of type, ink -rollers, and supplies of all sorts
have soared so that it costs us s good many dollars more each week to produce
The Tithes than it did a generation ago, or 20, or 15 or 10 or even 5 years ago.
Necessity compelled us to raise the subscription price of The Times to SI.50, this
advance going into effect on July 1st. Our fight for you—the fight against our-
selves ---must conte to an end. And just because we have given you the, hest end
of it all these past years, when the cost of living and the cost of publishin wtTe
climbing all the time, we now ask you to reciprocate by paying the higher price
willingly.
We believe that you are ready to pay the higher price
Three cents a week! An extra cent! Is there a man or woman in
this community who will say that he or she cannot afford it.
Three cents -the price of an egg in winter, the postage on a
letter, the prise of a pint of milk, the price of a glass of butter-
milk or half the price of a cheap cigar! Surely no one will say
that three cents a week for a local newspaper is more than he or
she can afford.
Your local newspaper is ah0't the chep-
cst thing in the world
