Although many lines of goods are
showing an inclination to drop in
price, the contrary is the case with'
newsprint, which, outside of labor,•
constitutes the largest item of ex-
pense in the publishing of a weekly
paper. It has been increasing rat
price by leaps and bounds, and we
are told that the recent heavy in.-
creasees will not be the last, and
the indications are that there Will
be no relief for two or three yeare '
at least. The increased price there-
fore, is forced upon us by the news-
print manufacturers and is absoliute-
ly necessary for the continued pub-
lication of The Times. We aa'e, loth

DOG TAX AND SHEEP
PROTECTION
The act respecting dog tax toad
sheep protection, which comes into
force on April 1, next, makes it
compulsory for all owners of dogs to
procure numbered tags, to be sup-
plied by the Council, and for killing
dogs without tags. The minimum
penalty for not procuring a tag is
$10.00. County Councils are author-
ized to pass by-laws requiring all
dog tax and license fees collected af-
ter 1920 to be paid to the County
Treasurer and from a sheep pro,
Lection fund all claims to be paid
by the county, for which purpose
county valuators are to be appointed.
Sheep are certainly of more value
to any community than dogs and
should be protected.
SAYS COW STUCK HER TONGUE
OUT AT THE FIREMAN
The London Advertiser of Friday
last says:
"Cows are still giving trouble on
the London, Huron and Bruce, ac-
cording to William Sneath, poet and
baggageman on that train, which
wends cityward every morning.
Thursday when the train hauled by
the snorting, long funneled engine,
No. 2198, -was approaching Exeter,
it encountered a herd grazing in
, the long grass which borders the
right-of-way. As usual the train
was stopped in order that the ani-
mals might be given a chance to
scamper..out of the way.
"One stubborn brute," Bill said,
i "did not scamper, but just stood in
front of the engine, eating. The fire-
man shok his fist at her, but would
you believe it, that cow deliberately
stuck her togue out at him."
"Engineer Harry Carson sighed,
then muttered: "Gee, if I only had
a larger engine I'd teach you a les-
son."
FIRE PREVENTION NTION DAY
I3y Royal Proclamation, His. Ex-
cellency, the Governor General of
Canada has again designated October•
9th as Fire Prevention Day. On that
day, lessons on fire prevention sub-
jects will be given in every school,
public meetings will be held in many
of the cities, towns and larger vil-
Iages, and the owners and occupant::
'of property everywhere thruout Can-
ada will be counselled to give spec-
ial attention to the remoavi of fire
hazards from their premises,.
Fire waste is one of the most ser-
ous economic problems confronting
Canada at the present time. 'alio
pubic ire general is vitally affected
by the tremendous losses annually
incurred by flee and the enormous
expenditures rendered necessary to
adequately proter;t life and property
from its riivages. Seeing that at
least seventy-five per cent of all
fires' arc caused by carelessness and
can therafore, be prevented, it is the
obvious duty of municipal authori-
ties, fire d'p•trtnients officials,
boards of iretir and other represen-
tative ciiiec t i,celies to brine t.he
matter to the attention of the peo-
ple.
bundance of the crop and many
bushels of tomatoes will go to wast
in consequence.
