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. Minor Locals. Good Friday—four weeks from Friday.

Judging lioney t:ar:mzfmrrgwriroiirorg The Editor of The Post reveived T is a common mistake to judge honey by its color. So long as the flavor is to your liking, anv- il' mind the color. What you should be particular about is the This word is ueed to define the thwknesa of honey. I do not mean 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. The amariet is responsible gen- erally for this surplus water and it is up to him to leave it out. This is what we aim to do. Jj411 Ross and Will McCracken handle our honey. Lf you should ever get any, and not as you like, take it back and we will compensate you. from J. N. noblemen, it former resi- dent of this locality. lie has our thanks. Retires From Active Work. W.

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. G. A. Deadman Opens Up Drug Store. Harry Ament, who has been con- ducting a drug store at Sioux Look- out has opened up a store at Hud- son, the jumping off place to Red Lake, the new mining country. 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.

That can only be accomplished by -using the columns of The Post, the newspaper with the largest circula- tion in this distrait. Border Cities residents have ceas- ed the familiar "Good clay" or "How- dy" form of salute and approach their fellows now in a semi -scared manner, whispering: "Have you been called to Ottawa yet?" The Globe recalls the fact that it was founded by George Brown 82 years ago.
