SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. —A leading agrieultoral journal ad- vocates the erection of "scratching posts" for hogs, bat °mite to state whether it refera to the two or four - legged kind. * * —"Gouldthrite" was the chap's name that lived like a millioneire en the proftts he swipea from the people of Canada in the Governraertt Print- ing Bureau, It should have been "Goldkmites," * * * —We are ksow fairly well entered on the second half of 1010. Let us make the last leelf the best from every point of view, if possible, remembering the troth, that—"A men's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." * * —In connection with the recent scan - dot in the Dominion Government's Printing Bureau, it is Geld that tons of scaling wax were purchased, enough to last ten years. No wonder the real facts were so well sealed up, that it took years to break the seal and lift the lid. if * * • —Get rid of everything that will at- tract and breed flies about the house and dairy. The old-fashioned custom of keeping a festering swill barrel just outside the kitchen door was no doubt responsible for a good many of the doctor's visits, to say nothing of the ever-present stench and swarm of flies. * * * —It is not easy to get even with Trusts and combines. When corner- ed up, they generally trump up some excuse. For instance, they say the law of supply and demand control prices. Not so much now, as in years past. In foodestuffs, the cold storage has worked revolutions, and some foods can be stored to such an extent as to force the price up to such a point that tate Trust can squeeze the con- sumer. * * * THE WATER QUESTION. The public meeting held on Thurs. day evening was pOOPly attended, only about two dozen being present, although the meeting was well adver- tised. The question at issue is—Where shall tbe test wells be drilled ; at the power-laouse or at the electric light p]ant. *ben the Comtnissioners were elected, they, as well as others, were of the opinion that the power -house was the best. place, Since then the Commissioners have given the gees - tion very careful thought, and have unanimously deciclea that at the elec- tric light plant is the best place, Brit before making so radical a change, they thought best to lay before the people their reasons for the change, Mayor Holmes presided, Commis- sioner VanNorman laid the figeres and cost before the ratepayers, making it clear that the Commissioners had gone carefully into the matter. He was followed by Coinmissio'r Morton, who regarded the change as a good thing for the ToWil to the ,extent of about $10,040. The initial cost of the new plan will be greater than the ether, but the saving annually by the change will, the Commissioners claim, far exceed the extra outlay. By the change, let—More ($300) can be secured yearly from water rental at the upper dam. and—No extriz man will be required at the power- house, as would by tbe old plan, as the pumping would. be done by the night man, towards morning when the electric lead wotild be light. 3rd— It will save the building of the trans- mission line frem the plant to the power -house, as the power will be got- ten from the main shaft. Extra cost, however, will be incurred by the pip- ing from the plant to Leopold street, and the six inch main from the G.T.R. to Patrick street ought to be enlarged to an eight inch. —Gouldthrite, the ma,n in charge until recently of the Dominion Print- ing Bureake is dead. -That is settled, by the finding of his body in the Detroit river. Ib was rumored last week that he had suieided, but some, tlaought that report was untrue, and a mere ruse. What good now has his dishonesty and graft done him ? For a time he enjoyed his ill -gotten -gains ; now his home is wrecked; his family disgraced and bereaved, and his life prematurely ended. There is surely a moral here, and the old truth—"Be sure your sin will find you out," has again been exemplified. Aside from any party view of the matter, it does seem strange that such extensive graft should go on so many years without discovery, and then only leak out by the complaint of partisans, who complained that they were not getting their. share of the Govern- ment patronage. Such conditions could scarcely obtain in the manage- ment of private or company business, The country's interests demand the same safe -guards and equally honest administration. mu SCHOOL PROMOTION EXAMINATIONS. WINGHAM TOWN COUNCIL. TAX RATE To BP, 26 MILLS. The regular monthly meeting of Wingham Town Colleen was held on Monday evening;, all menabers pre sent.- Minutes of last regular and special meeting were read and confirmed. 4. conummication wa received from the 0,P.R, offering to erect a freight shed for 0, Lloyd & Son and the gen- eral public, if the Town would close Albert street and. give a lease of that portion for 90 years. Coun. Elliott moved, Corm. Ittelaibbon seconded— That that Council is not in a position to grant the C.P.R. any fnrther pri- vileges than contained in the Lloyd By-law—carried. A resolution was read from Berlin Council re unitecl action to memoria- laze the Legislature to make granting of reduced fixed assessments equal to the granting of bonus. The Council endorsed the action of Berlin Council on raotion of .Irwin and Redmond.

McKenzie, expenses Seaforth. 2 35 Wm. Holmes, " The Oommissioners cannot of course guarantee finding good water at either place, but the prospects are as good in one place as the other. Hav- ing given the matter very much thought, the Commissioners felt that they could not conscientiously drill the test well id the place where it was first intended, having found a better plan for the Town's interests. It is of course a matter of regret that pure water will not be obtainable for some time. But it should tot be forgotten, that this is the first year for the Oommissioners and they have had to give the question much thought and calculation. Should the ratepayers not give them credit for their thought and care, instead of ad- versely criticising them?

They were authotized by a large and representa- tive public meeting to drill a test well. They did not do it. The Council was divided on the question. Some were for carrying out the wish expressed by the resolution passed at that repre- sentative meeting; others opposed it. That (in our humble opinion) as where the mistake was made. Had the Council of 1909 obeyed the man- date of that representative meeting, the location of the well would have been fixed, the well drilled, and (pro- bably) we should have had pure water by this time. Neglect to "go ahead" then, is (we believe) responsible for the absence of pure water now. For- tunately many have excellent wells and good water, but pure water is needed by many others, and. the rate- payers have voted to. secure it, and avoid if possible another fever scourge.

Another weekly paper has succumb - ea to excessive competition, and the Wroxeter Planet has discontinued. publication. Mr, Chisholm published a very neat little paper, and gives as the reason of discontinuance—lack of support. The truth le, the field is too limited. With papers at Gorrie, Wroxeter and. Fordwieh, it could not be expected that all could thrive in so circumscribed a field. Entrance Examinations. The results of the Entrance exara, inationa are given in this issue. At Wingham as A centre sixty-four pupils wrote; of these 35 passed, From Wingham public school, Prin- cipal Stalker recommended 21 as like- ly to succeed, but 30 decided to try and twenty-three succeeded. This is certainly a good record, and Principal Stalker has reason to feel pleased. The arithmetic paper was the rock on which some of the candidates' ship of promise struck. The list may be seen in another column. At Increased Salary. The Fordwich Record has this to say of Miss Viola, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. T, Davidson :—"Miss V. M.

The Winnipeg Free Press gives an account of the death of Geo, Leeson of Calgary, Alberta, who, we under- stand, was well known in Wingbam. He went west about 25 years ago, and became an owner of extensive ranch lands. His holdings near Calgary, as that city developed, made bim weal- thy and he accumulated several hun- dred thousand dollars of competency. Ete ran the first mail and passenger stage to Calgary, and is spoken of as one of the best known and most high- ly esteemed pioneers of the West, He was 68 years of age. He leaves a widow, two daughters and one son. He was buried under Masonic aus- pices. Meals On Twelfth.

One bad a rifle, the other a shotgun, and there seems to be no doubt but what it Was a mere accident, as the boys were close friends and evidently had no idea of their danger.
