The county council was in ses- sion at the court house h.st week, having convened on Tuesday af- fernoon for the December meeting The members gathered under the shadow of the death of Reeve Chas B. Snell, of Exeter, which occurred suddenly and unexpectedly on Mon- day morning. Appropriate reference to the passing of their colleague Was made in a resolution adopted by the coun:'il, and it was re- solved to send a letter of condol- ence to Mrs. Snell and a wreath for the funeral. The council also decided to adjourn over Wednea day afternoon in order to attend the funeral. When the roll was called all the seats were filled with the excep- tion of that of the rnamher from Exeter. Warden Inglis in addressing the council spoke feelingly with refer- ence to the sudden passing of Reeve Snell. He said that their late cel' league had by his quiet and assum- ing, but genial manner and his diligent attention to business made friends of the whole council and his work on the council board was such as to reflect credit on the municipality which he represented. The Warden's Address Continuing his address, the war- den said that since the June meet- ing the county had gathered a good harvest. Taking one year, with an- other, Huron had been favored with good weather conditions and its people had much for which to be thankful in this regard, for conditions prevailing in many parts of the West were causing much hardship. The old -age pensions schemes had been introduced through the com- mittee of the council appointed for that purpose at. the June session and had been thoroughly and -effi- ciently carried out. Some criticism had been indulged in regarding the cost, hut considering the work ne- cessary and actually performed by the eommitte+e he thought such cri- ticism was not in order. He believ- ed the committee had been very diligent, had spent much time, and had been very faithful and thor- ough in the discharge of their du- ties, and the report to be presented would show that the working out of the scheme involved much more trouble and expediture of time than people imagined, Referring to the financial condi- "o02.75 "During the peet year there 901.04 have been forty -ono fertilizer, ex - 970.41 perlment).l and demonstration plots 5;09.,9,`; laid ont in the county.

Due to the success of the "500 party” to the Royal the Ontario LI :imninent saw fit to repeat this trip. Ten boys were sent from Huron county and were selected ,from the ten highest in the Royal judging competition held at Clinton, October 25th. In this cone petition six classes of live stock were judged and five classes of grains and vegetables. There were forty£ive contestants which made this our largest and most keenly contested competition ever held in the county. This 15 an indication that our junior farmers are taking more interest in our competition, which is indeed very gratifying. Short Courses Valuable There was a month's course in home economics and agriculture at Wingham last January, and while the attendance at these courses lwas not large we feel that all those who attended received bene- ficial results. In a course of this kind it is not expected that all phases of farming can be dealt with, If we do nothing more than get our junior young people,inter ested in thinking along lines of improved farming and give thein an insight into the possibility of farming 'under better conditions we feel that our time has been well spent. Another feature of these courses which is also of great value is the social aspect which leads to a better rural com- munity and for forming of associ- ations which go towards making a better rural life. One line of our work which has developed a great deal' this year is requests for assistance in farm drainage. It is , not necessary to dwell on the importance and neces- sity of under drainage and farmers are beginning to realize more and more all the -time that money spent in this way is a: sound invest- ment. This fall with the assistance of the drainage department at Guelph we have conducted thirty drainage Surveys covering approx- imately 1,000 acres. Many other phases of the. work were commented on by Mr. Me- Cague but space prevents a full report lot his remarks.

The mine had been worked with crude moth - ods many years ago and then given up. New claims have now been filed and prospects are very en- couraging. There are said to be many abandoned mines of rich pos- sibilities in the province. Carrying 295 passengers and a total of almost two million Jap- anese oranges, first cargo of the fruit to reach Canada this year, Canadian Pacific liner Empress of•. Asia docked at :Vancouver recently after a record trip from the Orient. The vessel had aboarrt a number of Canadian delegates to the Pacific Relations Conference held at Kyoto, Japan. Direct contradiction of the opin- ion of Col. Frederick Palmer. Am- erican war correspondent, that It would be 1ve11 for Christian churches to withdraw their mis- sionaries from the Orient, has been voiced by Bishop W. H. Ainsworth. Macoum, Ga., who WAS a passen- ger recently on the S.S. Empress of Asia. "Christian missions to China and Japan were never doing better than at present" said the bishop who is in charge of Eastern Missions for the Methodist Epis- copal Church of the Southern United States. The province of Nova Scotia is on the threshold of a period of un- precedented development judging from the record business being handled during the current year by the Dominion Atlantic Railway, and the scope of the preparations now under way for the development of tourist traffic," says George E. Gra- ham, vice-president and general manager of the railway, in a recent interview. Total amount of life insurance carried by the people of Canada is at present about $6,500,000,000 or approximately $6550 for every man, woman and child in the Dominion.

The motorist who comes to an abrupt stop without giving plenty of warning to the car or truck behind himis courting a lot of trouble. It is a wise plan to keep brakes in good repair and ad- justment. The ear can be stopped very abruptly. The driver behind may not be so wise. Perhaps his wits a little sluggishly and his brakes do not take hold as quickly. A heavily loaded truck cannot be stopped as readily as a passenger car. It is a 'good idea, therefore, to imagine that all cars behind are "slow stoppers," and act accord- ingly. • Notice to Creditors Subscribers look at your Labels We would draw the attention of your subscribers to the labels on their papers on which appear the expiration date of The Post, If your subscription is due now—re- new it while the matter is still fresh in your memory.
