;CIothes That Keep Shape

HLYTE..
Shortly after three o'clock Sunday
morning fire was discovered sweeping
through the old woollen mill. Although
the brigade was on hand quickly, the
flames had a big start, and little could
be done to check them. The building
burned to the ground. The Loss will be
quite heavy, as the blaze was the third
in the building inside of a year. The
factory has not been in operation for
several years. It was built 26 years
ago by R. Forsyth, who, atfer conduct-
ing it for some years, rented it to Mr.
P. Purvis, who had it until the factory
closed.
CULROSS.
There died in San Diego, Cal. after a
lingering illness, an old resident of Cul-
ross in the person of Mrs. John Johnston.
She was Mary McAllister, daughter of
the late Hugh and Mary McAllister of
the 4th con. and sister of Mrs. Andrew
Armstrong of the 2nd con. She leaves
a family of five children to mourn her
loss, her husband having predeceased
her in January last. She lived for a
number of years in Montana but moved
to California about nine years ago to get
the benefit of a change of climate in
her failing health, but passed away on
the 11th of November.
CLINTON.
As it was the third offence of selling
liquor on a recent Sunday, Reuben Gra-
ham of the Graham House, Clinton,
was Saturday fined by Police Magis-
trate Andrews $200 and g$28.23 costs.
Inspector Johnson was assisted by
Crown Attorney Seager, K.C., and Gra-
ham was represented by Charles Gar -
row of Goderich. J. J. McCaughey of
the Commercial Hotel was also fined re-
cently $50 and costs for selling on Sun-
day, and J. H. Ran of Zurich $100 and
costs on a similar charge.
WROX ETER
The funeral of the late Thos. Pope,
whose death occurred in Shakespeare
on Saturday, Nov. 16th, took place from
the residence of his son, Donald Pope,
on Wednesday afternoon, of last week,
to the Wroxeter cemetery, service be-
ing conducted by the Rev. Mr. Wesley.
Mr. Pope was in his ninety-fourth year
and had been gradually failing for some
time, so that his death was not unex-
pected. He was a resident of Turn -
berry for a number of years, until the
death of his wife, when he made his
home with his son here, until about 2
years ago, when he went to live with
a daughter in Shakespeare. Mr. Pope
was a quiet man of a kindly disposition
and sympathy is extended to the sur-
viving family in their bereavement.
MORRIS.
Mr. W. J. Henderson, of the Bluevale
road, near Wingham, has been request-
ed by a number of ratepayers to seek
election of Councillor for next year and
Mr. Henderson has decided to accept
nomination and will be pleased to receive
the support of the ratepayers.
A party of five hunters were in Parry
Sound district, 27 miles North of Sund-
ridge for two weeks and enjoyed a fine
time. They were Fraser Embury and
Robert Nichol, of Morris; Bert. Allan
and G. Errington, of Harlock; and Jno.
Melville, of Londesboro. Each secured
his quota of venison, landing some fine
deer. The huntsman say they had a
No. 1 time.
D. M. McCall, of Edmonton, spent,
a few days at the parental home, 8th
line, and calling on other relatives and
old friends. He came East with his
sister, Miss Annie, who was in the
West and whose health has not been
good owing to nervous exhaustion.
Miss McCall will take a course of treat-
ment at the Guelph sanitarium and
many friends wish her speedy recovery.
Mr. McCall is greatly° taken up with
Edmonton and looks as if it agreed
with him.
GREY.
We are sorry to hear that Lachlan
McNeil, 4th con., an old and well
known residhnt, is not having very
good health of late but we hope he
will soon be restored. Mr. McNeil
has been a very active man for his
years.
The 100 acre farm of the late Peter
McNeil, being lot 23, con. 13, has been
sold by the executors, to Wilson Evans,
12th con., for the sum of $4,660. It is
an excellent farm. The purchase will
give Mr. Evans 225 acres and we trust
he may do well with his accumulating
properties.
Thursday, Nov. 21st, there passed
away at Ripley one of the pioneers of
that locality in the person of Donald
McLeod, aged 79 years. Deceased had
been in failing health for some time.
He is survived by his wife and an adult
family. For many years he was a
member of the Presbyterian church
and enjoyed the esteem of the com-
munity. Mr. McLeod was a relative
to Mrs. E. Dickson, llth con., 'Grey
township, and she and her son, James
attended the funeral. He came from
Aachen, Scotland, when a boy, and,
although not one of the first settlers of
Huron Township, Druce Co., 'came
when it was still a wilderness, and help-
ed in clearing the dense forest to make
a home for his family.
KT. AvoirrsTr003
A highly respected resident in the
person of Mrs. Welsh passed peace-
fully away at 3 o'clock Tuesday morn-
ing, Oct. 29th. The deceased who had
reached the age of 85 years passed
away from weakness of the heart and
a natural breakdown. The late Mrs.
Walsh came to this country from Kil-
dare, and at the early age of twenty
years, married Thomas Walsh who pre-
deceased her 28 years ago. They settled
on a farm near St. Augustine, endur-
ing many of the hardships of the pioneer
days. Sne was a staunch member of
the Roman Catholic church and always
attended when health permitted. She
received the last rites of the church
at the hands of her pastor, Rev. Fr.
Dean. She approached the end with
christian patience and resignation. Five
sons and two daughters survive namely :
Thomas and Patrick on the homestead ;
John of St. Augustine; William and
James of Enderlin, N. D.; Mrs. Wm.
Leddy of Verdun, Man.; and Mrs Ed.
Hayes of Niagara, Wis. They mourn
the loss of a kind and affectionate
mother and a true friend to all she
came in contact with.
wtilz•cu�vxva.
Communion service was held in the
Presbyterian chuuch on Sunday last,
and Rev. Mr. McEachern preached his
farewell.
Many will regret to hear of the death
of Miss Blanche Irene Holmes, eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G.
Holmes, of Kinloss, in her 15th year.
The deceased young lady was operated
on for appendicitis a few weeks ago
and was making very satisfactory re-
covery when other troubles set in. To
the bereaved family will be extended
the sympathy of the community. Tho
funeral took place Tuesday afternoon
to Wingham cemetery.
On Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 12, the
monthly meeting of the Women's Mis-
sionary Society was held in the Pres-
byterian church here. At the close of
the meeting Mrs. (Rev.) McEachern,
who, during the past three years, has
been the efficient President of this
Branch of the. Society, was presented
with a beautiful cut -glass fruit bowl.
Rev. Mr. McEachern, who recently re-
signed as pastor here, was presented
with �a handsome gold -mounted um-
brella. Mr. and Mrs. McEachern in-
tend leaving for Toronto the latter end
of November. We regret their de-
parture from our midst, Their united
efforts have always been for the uplift-
ing of the community, both socially and
spiritually. We wish them prosperity
in the future.

LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY IN CANADA
ILast February there were brought
together at Ottawa from the various
provinces upwards of one hundred men
Ioflicially delegated to represent forty-
four Live Stock and Record Associations,
besides a large number of interested
persons to consider and discuss the
various features of the live stock in-
dustry. This gathering which consti-
tuted the third general convention of
the National Live Stock Association
spent two days each of three busy seti-
sions upon its program which included
reviews of the condition of the live
stock industry prevailing in the respec-
tive provinces, interprovincial trade in
pure bred live stock, the beef cattle in-
dustry in the east and west, the dairy
cattle industry, the developement of the
sheep and swine industries, the market
for Canadian horses, transportation of
live stock, stallion legislation, the chill-
ed meat trade, bovine tubercolosis, and
other business.
A full report of the addresses and
discussions that took place has been
printed for the information of persons
interested in the live stock or
in fact the general agricul-
tural welfare of the Dominion. Among
many other striking things it was
brought out that our export cattle trade
is rapidly approaching its vanishing
point, that South American tinned beef
is being used all the way across the
Dominion, that we are exporting very
little mutton and importing a great
deal, while millions of pounds of pork
are each year imported into Canada.
This report which constitutes a book
of 130 pages emboddies a fairly com-
plete review of the live stock situation
in Canada and offers many wise sug-
gestions for its much needed improve-
ment. The distribution of this work is
in the hands of the Publications Branch
of the Department of Agriculture at
Ottawa to whom applications for copies
should be sent
RUINED ROADS
The Weekly Sun in describing the
injury that autos are to roads has this
to say.—"A few weeks ago automobile
races were held on the track of the Can-
adian National Exhibition. Manager
Orr now reports that these races have
completely ruined the track and no
more racing can be permitted." The
exhibition tracks, it is stated by way
of explanation, are simply "made up
roads." They are not on a concrete base,
but merely gravelled over a stone bot-
tom. In other words they are precise-
ly the same sort of roads that one finds
in the best rural highways of the pro-
vince. Still some of these country
roadways are subjected in the height of
summer to trestment little less severe
than that under which the exhibition
track has broken down. It is true cars
are seldom run at 70 or 90 miles on ru-
ral highways but 60 miles is not un-
common and 40 miles an hour is a fre-
quent occurrence. And yet farmers
living along these lines of motor tra-
vel are expected to go on uncomplain
edly keeping the highway in repair.
To talk of taxing owners of autos for
this purpose is futile. If the cars are
taxed annually to the extent of their
total value, the sum so raised would
not more than make good the damage
caused on roads extensively used by
auto owners.
A Healthy Feature.
Winnipeg Free Press.
It looks at present, as if the British
Liberals were prepared to wage their
next big fight on the principle of secur-
ing the land for the common people.
Significantremarksby
cabinet ministers
and aggressive campaigns by Liberal
candidates in recent by elections almost
justify the assumption that the taxation
of land values is to be incorporated in
the Liberal party's platform.... After
all, the proposition that the land be-
longs to all the people is, morally, ele-
mentary. The trouble is that private
property in land has become vastly
complicated affair and the restoration
the land to the people a most difficult
problem. Vested interests of all kinds
have been created. In view of these
difficulties it is doubtful if a fairer and
more practical method of land nation -
exists than the gradual extension of
principles of the land tax. In Canada a
healthy feature of a land situation
which has some unhealthiness in it, is
the fact that such a gradual extension
is actually in process, especially in
western Canada. When our last acre
is under cultivation, which one day it
inevitably will be, however far off that
day may be, our economic troubles, or
at any rate adjustments, will really be-
gin. If when that day arrives, the
charge for the use of the land goes
wholly, or in large part, to the state
through the method of land value taxa-
tion, we shall be spared much of the
heart-searching that is attending the
readjustment process in older countries.
Sir Edward ('louston, banker and fin-
ancier, died suddenly in Montreal.
The C. P. R. freight sheds at Pres-
cott, the largest west of Montreal, were
destroyed by fire, with a large quantity
of freight, 200 tons of coal, and the
offices. Total loss estimated at $250,-
000.

Winter Predictions.
A commercial traveller at Hensall re-
cently offered to bet $25 that during the
coming winter there would not be a
week of continuous sleighing. He based
his estimate on the condition of the fur -
bearing animals and the scarcity of
nuts. Dr. Varden, Galt's weather
prophet, predicts an open winter very
little snow in this part of Ontario, and
he adds that farmers will be able to
plow every month except January.
And here is an another:—Col. Rorke
of Thornbury showed a reporter recent-
ly through his garden where ripe rasp-
berries, blooming sweet peas, etc. , in
everything just as green and fresh as
they would be in a summer month,
prompted our question:—"And what
would you take this to mean?" said the
press reporter. After carefully weigh-
ing his words Mr. Rorke replied, "I
may be wrong, but I look for a very
little winter. You can easily see tbat
not a shrub in the garden is prepared
for winter, and that is what makes me
believe we will have another such win-
ter as that of 1875, whenitwaspossible
to plow every month in the year.
GORRI%.
There passed away on Sunday even-
ing, Nov. 17th, another of our old and
esteemed citizens, in the person of Mr.
Jos. Ortman, at the good old age of 82
years, eight months and four days. The
deceased gentleman was born in Merk-
linburg, Germany. At the age of 29
years he married, shortly afterwards
coming to Canada and settling near
Guelph. He then moved to Carrick
where he hewed out a home for him-
self and family, and he continued to
live there up to fifteen years ago when
he retired and came to make his home
with his daughter, Mrs. Rich, McGrath,
his wife having died some years ago.
He was an honest, upright man, and a
faithful member of the Lutherian
Church. He had been in declining health
for some time past, and for the past fif-
teen years has been totally blind. The
funeral took place on Tuesday from the
residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Richard
McGrath, to the Lutherian cemetery.
2nd con., Carrick, where interment took
place. The service at the house was
conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kinder, and
at the grave by the Rev. Mr. Brauer, of
Normanby, pastor of the Lutherian
Church.
John Connell, St. Thomas, and Chas.
Ryckman, London, were killed in a ra
dial railway collision near London.
While it is stated that less than half
a hundred cases of divorce will come be-
fore the Canadian Parliament this ses-
sion, it mustnot be forgotten that many
Canadians settle their matrimonial
troubles on the other side of the line.
Between 1887 and 19;16 there were 455
Canadian cases a year in the United
States, or an aggregate of 8,645.—Ot-
tawa Citizen.
