The Clinton News Record last week refers to a bussnees change in that town in which two former Brus- selites are the new proprietors: W. A. Crich, of Seaforth, and H. Bart- liff, of Clinton, have purchesed the Bluthner bakery and restaurant busi- ness, corner of Albert and Ratters - bury, and are taking it over this week. Mr. 13artliff will be in charge of the business and he ought to know how to run 14 all right as it is his old stand. His Clinton friends are glad to have him settled in town again and wish him success, Twentieth Anniversary Observed.

' The dates of the Goderich Sum- mer school to be held under the aus- pices of London Conference of the United Church are July 19th to 26th. Holiday Hours at Postoffice. Good Friday being a public holi- day, the Postoffice wicket will be open one hour after the noon mail has been distributed. Merchants Prefer Thursday As Bank Holiday. Merchants at Sarnia, Chatham, and other points, through the med- ium of boards of trade, are urging a Thursday afternoon half holiday for the banks instead of Saturday afternoon. The reason for this is obvious. Saturday is always the big day in Ontario towns and cities. Farmers come in for miles around, and many stores do 50 per cent. of the weekly business on Saturdays. The banks close at noon. Merchants and farmers, if they want to use the facilities of the bank, must crowd everything into the morning, So the Bankers' Association will be asked to permit the banks to make the change. Another important reason why many merchants- would like to See the change, says the Canadian Grocer, is the fact that so much money has to be held over until Monday. Wes. Walker's Summer Resort. Goderich Signal: A few weeks ago Thu Signal recorded the purchase by Wesley Walker of town, of a farm in Goderich township, with the in- tention of making it a private sum- mer resort. The other day "Wes," was scattering sunshine and conver- sation in a store on the Square when a man, a stranger to him, ask- ed him if he were the Mr. Walker who had recently bought a farm. Delighted to have a fresh opportun- ity of dilating upon the beauties of his country estate, "Wes" admitted he was the man, and proceeded to tell with enthusiasm and eloquence of the splendors of his recently ac- quired property in Goderich town- ship. When he got through the stranger thanked him for the infor- mation, making hirreself known as the assessor of Goderich township. , "Wes" blinked once or twice, but with the "anine bank" tor which he is -famed he expressed his earnest conviction that there was nothing on the place worth anything but the scenery (scenery isn't taxable). Now they say that "Wes" will not talk about his farm to anybody without an introduction beforehand, Minor Locals. Thursday is the let of April. Don't be fooled. Unclaimed balances in Canadian Chartered banks on Dan. 31, 1925, totalled $2,395,564.51. If you are holding a farm sale, ad- vertise it in The Post; people are looking for it there.
