Money Not Plentiful 60 Years Ago,
Ashfield Farmer's Documents Show
In going through some old
papers, in the course of preparing
to vacate his Ashfield Township
farrn, Cecil Johnston came across
some old and interesting docu-
ments. Among them were a
couple of notes which. his father
had given for a mower and a cut-
ter before the turn df the century,
and which indicate that money
wasn't very plentiful at that time,
at least not for "Dick" Johnston,
son of one of Ashfield Township's
pioneer families. •
In the collection was a note,
signed by Cecil's father, dated
June 11th, 1898, in favor of Frost
and Wood for $20.00 for a mower
purchased from Webster and An-
drew. The note was due on or
before October 1, without interest,
with interest at ten percent after
due date.
Another doeum,ent signed by
Mr. Johnston was dated November
13, 1894, and was an order for
T. W. and F. tiildred to manufac-
ture a piano box cutter for which
Mr. Johnston agreed to pay $28.50.
Payment was spread over a year
and included • cash and trade as
follows: "$5.00 worth of poles -if
as good as last time, 4 ,, cords of
dry wood at $1.50 per cord, $7.00
cash at Christmas and $10.00' cash
on November 1, 1895."
There was a membership Bard
in Lucknow Public Library, the
expiry date being November 1896.
The president was J. G. Murdoch
and the secretary, D.. D. Yule.
A circular of Mair and Sidda11, j
private bankers, advised that they
had large sums of money to lend
on notes ' rtm one to 12 months,
as well as on . farm and chattel
mortgages. They paid five per
cent interest on bank deposits.
A postcard addressed to Henry
Johnston, 'was from. the Methodist
Book and Publishing House, ack-
nowledging receipt of an order
for 25 "Pleasant Hours" at a cost
of $5.50. -
There was a personal 'leiter to
Mr. Johnston from an old Ashfield
boy, William' Kilpatrick of Oska-
loosa, Iowa, a city of 10,000 people,
where Mr. Kilpatrick operated two
bakeries. ti
Another letter was from Mr.
Johnston's sister Lottie (Mrs.
White) of Stratford; dated April
13, 1899. She said that at Strat-
ford potatoes were $1.00 a bag,
tIE. vel SPORTS COLUMN
4 EemeirPeiteicedoig
This column rejoices at the sudden anti'
surprising decision of the Canadian' Rugby
Union to transfer the Grey Cup game of
1955 from the traditional site in Toronto
out to the British Empire Games stadium
in Vancouver.
It may be a move toWard an objective
this column has been advocating for the past three years,
namely: a two -game series for the Grey Cup annually, in the
cities represented by the eastern and western winners respec-
tively, total points to count.
Hitherto, the western champions were obliged to travel
east, whether they liked it or not, meet the eastern champions
in Toronto's fine Varsity Stadium. We don't claim that this,,.
one -day clash of east and west wasn't a great show, with color,
drama, background, everything. It was all of that—wonder-
ful. Wonderful, that is, for those who could see it.
But what about those who, for one .reason or another,
couldn't get to Toronto to watch their heroes• in tb ,,crowning
football game of the season? Those are the farts who Were
getting the, short end of the' stiek in this one -city deal.
Taking the Grey Cup out to Vancouver breaks this one -
city tradition, and also is a smart -bit of promotion. Vancouver
is new in professional football. Annis Stukas fought an uphill
battle there last year and in the city's first venture into the
game, his club -got amazingly fine support
It was aAhrow-back to the long -ago days when professional
hockey, as new 'to the west coast then as football was last year,
invaded Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster and became
a tremendous game overnight. But Vancouver, in football,
can do with the shot -in -the -arm the Grey cup game will provide.
ml"
We trust this isn't just a one-year move. ••Other cities,
east and west, would like to be hosts to the Grey Cup" finals.
And they deserve it. But we still,believe in.our own idea, a two -
city pray -off betweenthe two champions. Baseball does it.
Hockey does it. It's good for them. So why not for football?

Rules Suggested
For Summer Safety
Cottage fires and drownings, due
mainly to carelessness and inade-
quate precautions, take hundreds
of lives each summer, warns the
All Canada Insurance Federation.
'Officials of the federation, which
represents more than 200 • fire,
automobile and casualty insurance
companies, said that half of all
drownings occur during June, July
and August, and that the average
summer cottage contains more
fire hazards than most other loca-
tions.
Insurance experts recommended
the following precautions for the
holiday season: -
1. Adequate fire -fighting equipment
should be on hand at all times.
2;, Floors directly under heaters
' and stoves should be re-inforced
bty° sheets of galvanized iron,
concrete or brickwork.
3.,Chimn,eys should be equipped
with spark sere -ens and reflect-
ors,
4. Pipes passing through partitions
