A Surprising Figure.
Old country people express sur-
prise at the extent to which Canad-
ians rely upon the telephone. At
that, they usually are thinking in
terms Of purely local service. They
would be astonished to hear that in
Ontario and Quebec alone the aver-
age daily use of the Long Distance
telephone in 1925 was 46,727 mess-
ages. These remarkable figures are
found in the Bell Telephone Com-
pany's Annual Report. They indict -
Ate the present-day demand for
nuick communication regardless of
distance. '
Want Mail Orders Taxed.
A deputation of 50, representing
the Retail Merchants' Association of
Canada, waited upon Premiee Ring
and members of his Cabinet, and
later upon Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen,
leader of the Opposition, .A levia•
tion was sought from the excise
stamp tax on receipts, and it was
urged that consideration be given to
a special sales tax to be placed on
the mail order businesses as these
firms bore none of the taxes in the
e-ommunities itt which they traded.
A bill taxing mail-order businesses
was being promoted in the province
of New Brunswick at the present
time as an experimental measure.

T is a common mistake to judge
honey by its color. So long as

This word is ueed to define the

when it granulates, but when you
can dip it out with it spoon and It is
o thick that in eool weather you
can take it up, half a pound or Mere
at one time. A certain amount of
water is inevitable, but, if it eon -
tains more than it should have, the '
honey will be thin, and the flavor
never as good.

is up to him to leave it out. This is
what we aim to do.

Attended Father's Induction.
In his address to minister and
congregation at the induction of Rev.
J. D. McCrae, into the pastorate of
Avenue Road United 'Church, Tor-
onto, Dr. Alexander Macalivray
made the interesting statement that .
over forty-seven years ago he had
assisted at the ordination and induc-
tion of Mr. McCrae's father, the late
Rev. D. L. McCrae, Ph.D., in the
church at Woodlands in the old Pres-
bytery of Glengarry.—Rev. J. D.
McCrae is a nephew of Mrs. James
Speir of town.
The Weekly Editors.
Members of the 'Weekly Newspap-
er Executive met' in Winnipeg when
further progressive plans in the in-
terests of the Association were dis-
cussed. The members this year, are
to go to Quebec for their annual out
ing, and will take the trip down the
Saguenay. An invitation has been
extended the Association to go
north to Bigwin Inn in 1927. It is
understood that, there is a favor-
able preponderance of opinion on
the Executive, and that our big re-
sort may, in the not distant future
at least, have the visiting weekly
men from all over Canada. Certain-
ly no lake centre could offer more
attractive inducements, and no re-
sort is better equipped to take care
of the large representation of edi-
tors who make this the one big holi-
day of the year.,
Won't Be Plowing Yet.
Heavy snowfall was again visitant
in Brussels over the week -end and
any thoughts that neighboring farm-
ers may have had it getting out their
plowsd whetting them up was dis-
pelled. The town on Monday moan-
ing was locked in an icy grip and
zero tcinpei'aturos prevatled.It is
doubtful under present-day condi•
tions whether the first potatoes will
; go into the ground with the coming
of St. Patrick's Day—if th.e Weath-
er Man keeps up his attitude of the
last 48 hours, there will be no tilla-
tion of the lighter soils on high knolls
where the winter moisture has not
yet been drained off. All of which
means that spring is not here. Once
the plow share pierces the bosom of
, Huron County fields all the other
signs -are through for the season.
; When the Huron County farmer
starts his spring plowing the winter
is over. Potentially, that is, not yet.

New Stamp Issue.
A semi-official stamp issue has
, been made in connection with the
; air mail service to Red Lake and
stamps have been received by the
Toronto post office. ' No such
stamps have been received loudly as
yet. The regular mall service goes '
as far as Hudson and with the new
stamp affixed letters may be taken
by aeroplane to Red Lake, a 10 -day
journey by dog team, but one which
is covered in an hour and forty min-
' utes by air.
