EXCISE TAXES ON AUTOS PAID 1920 TO BE REMITTED House Endorses a Vote of $1,690,- 000 For That Purpose—Includes Interest—Minister Says There is a Just Claim For Consideration Ottawa, May 29.—A vote of $1,- 650,000, "required for the remission of excise tax paid on automobiles re- maining in hands of dealers, and un- sold at the time when such tax was repealed by Order -in -Council of Dec 18, 1920," passed the House of Com- mons last night in Committee of Sup- ply. , Hon, George H. Boivin, Minister of Customs, told the House that the average loss to each.automobile deal- er had boon $883.33 on 7,503 cars. It was in the nature of a compas- sionate allowance, and the amount was large enough to include intereet accumulated. The dealers had a Rulphire Expert Here Do you suffer from rupture?

SOME SOFT BALL RULES The Post has been asked to pub- lish the recent amendment to the Soft Ball rules:—The catcher will be the onlY player on the field allowed to use a glove. A pitched ball that strikes a bat- ter wili be called a ball, and if it is the fourth bell the batter is entitled to a base. The base -runner is not entitled to take a base on this play unless he is forced to vacate his base. A foul or fair ball will be settled where it settles, not whore it lights, as in past years, The third strike mustbe ceught .by the catcher, the same as in hard- ball. Each runner is entitled to one base only on a third strike. In rule 6, section 2, the word "substitute" was struek out. . Rule 71, sectieb 3, was changed so that the base -runner can advance as soon as a fly ball is touched, net caught. 0 Can Not Leave Base The runnelleaving a base before ball crosses the plate will be Called out by umpire. There was a hot dise mission on this amendment, the chief opposition coming fror Hamilton. It was finally decider, however, that the runner be called out. It Was explain- ed that the batter might knock n three -base bit after a.base-runner on first base had taken a lead. Under the former rule thc. hatter would mot get ceedit for the three -base bit, but would have to bat over again, as the runnere would have to be called back to first base. ,The new rule entitles the batter to a three -base hit, and the runner' who leaves his base too soon will be declared out. This puts the minalty on the runner instead of the. batter. Another hot diectiseion took .place on the amendment to have a (dear field 25 feet behind each base line froma distance of 180 feet from home plate. An amendment to the amendment Was introduced by tha Guelph representatives inalehig the distance 15 feel; behnd each hese line and this was eventually carried'. Di was decided that three repreeenta- tives from each district association be allowed to vote at annual Meet., ings. u..............**, Two lady lace vendors were in town on Monday.

It would . 3 be unfortunate if the Government /were to take hoed to thio reeolution as there are throughout the Province many laymen quite competent to fill News of Local Interest Public Works at Goderich. Tenders are being called by the Public Works Department at Ottawa for the reconstruction of the, river breakwater for a length of 1,087 feet at Goderich. Plans can be secured from the deparbnent and the tenders must be in by Thursday, June 17. Parcel Weight Limit. According to the latest issue of the Post Office Bulletin, the limit weight for parcel post exchanged be- tween Canada and France both by the direct route and via England will be fifteen pounds after Jun e 1. The same limit of weight will also apply for parcel post between Canada and Poland after that date. A Good Slogan. A certain slogan may well be fixed to read: "You talk Canada, why not see it?" If you can't see all of it, see a portion of it; if you can't see sections new to you, at least you can read about them. And when you read, read facts—tuck them away so they can be brought forth handily and used with a forcefulness that is convincing.. Next to a Personal Visit. That the newspapers of the coun- try, next to persona•1 contact, are the best advertising medium was the con - census of opinion at the Canadian Pacific Ontario District Association meeting, held in Toronto last week. The fact was emphasized, however, that no advertising or puhlicity could 'counteract indifferent service or "failure to deliver the goods." The advertiser must back Up his advertis- ing with quality in what he has to sell and efficient service. With these three forces pulling together, he will get results. Farmers Should Have their Names on Mail Boxes, While driving along the pleasant country roads the past week, the edi- tor, who knew many of the occupants of the farms in days gone by, was anidous to know if the same families still occupied those fertile acres. It struck one what a great benefit it would be.to both farmer and tourist if only every resident's name were on the mail box at the .ate n everyone passing would know at a glance where so-and-so lived without having to guess or ask every few miles to find out the party wanted. It is a postal regulation, part of the conditions under which the Govern- ment undertook to execute the do - livery of rural mail that each mail box should show plainly the name of the owner, and it is a regulation that should be followed out by farmers everywhere. pAINTING 1 AND Paper -hanging loompowailmo• The undersigned wishes to an- nounge that he is prepared to handle all kinds of jobs in the above lines, and will endeavor to give the best of satisfactiou.

Touring Period in U. S. Extended. Motorists contemplating entry in- to the United States will be particul- arly interested in the change of re- gulations just announced by the Uni- ted. States consulate. Under the new regulations motor cars can enter the 'United States for touring purposes for any period up to 90 days with- out taking out formal papers, instead of only over a 30 -day period as here- tofore. 'Bankers Plan Picnic. Royal Bank staffs throughout Western Ontario are making elabor- ate nrenarations for the annual pic- nic to he held this veer at Port 111 icy. with June 3 selected as the date. It is expected that the picknickers will, represent between 75 and 100 bramthes throughout the district and points farther east and some 200 •members of the staffs will join in the festivities of the day. Safety First at Crossings. A good many motaists fail to re- alize that the Highway Tralhe Act means what it says when it enacted this clause: "No motor vehicle shall be dricven at a street intersection at a greater rate of speed than ten miles .per hour in a town or village. The nenalty for first offence is not less than 65.a0 nor more than 550.00 and Inc seeorid or subsequent offence not less than. $10.00 or more than $100.60, and the license may be sus- pended Inc an iny period not exceed- ing three months." Strict Enforcement. Professor Caesar ef the Ontario Agricultural College and Provincial Entomologist, in an interview at Chatham, declared that the Corn 13.orer Act, passed at the recent ses eion' of' the Ontario Legislature, will be strictly enforced.

The late Sir Oliver Mowat when presiding over the des- tinies of Ontario, said that there were $0 many offices in which the services of legal men were required that he especi,ally felt that the offices of sher- iff and registrar should be reserved for laymen. Sir Oliver was a fair- minded and sagacious statesman and hacl a clear apprehension of the fact that it was not wisdom to leave the administration of all law in the hands of any one class.—Milverton Sun.
