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?
