We thank you. Must Not Use Stamps. -Hereafter postage stamps may not be used for making small remittances, according to postal advices reaching Brussels from Ottawa last week.

Government Grants to Schools, - The eltuister of EdumaLieu . has decid- ed to ',tato for another.year the peee- eut mode of apportioning the Legis- lative grants for rural schools.

Use Standard Size Envelopes.- Small envelopes are the bane of the lifef o the post office clerks, accord- ing to a statement by Postal officials. A. small,- insignificant and unassuming little envelope ie up to all kinds of tricks once it gets in the post office. They get caught in the stamp can- celling machine. Thousands of let- ters go through the post office every day and the little ones cause all the trouble. The postal department is launching a campaign to have the use of cards and envelopes less than three by four inches. discontinued. They are mere freaks. What You Can Give ThiPChurch- You young people who are not yet ,wage earners so that you can have no 'money to give the church, can yet contribute something of real worth. You can give it your presence. There is inspiration in numbers and ministers preach better because of them. A choir sings better. The people who 'drift from church to church, never go twice to one that is nearly empty. But if the usher has to bring chairs from somewhere' in order to seat them, they will go again. There is inspiration in num- bers and no matter how poor you are, you can help to give that inspiration. Help to fill the pews and you will more than you realize. Daily Papers Ban Free Publicity. - The organized campaign to load off on newspapers the carrying out of forest protection campaigns were dealt some hard knocks at the con- vention of the Ontario Provincial Dailies held in Toronto recently. Re- ports on the activities of the Canad- ian Forestry Association and the Ontario Safety League in their per- sistent efforts to make the newspapers shoulder the cost of their own special campaigns, were given to the publish- ers. It was shown that those inter - cited generally had enough money to 'pay everybody, including high priced publicity experts, with the single ex- ception of the newspapers. Individ- ual publishers told of their experience with agents of safety leagues, forest- ry organizations, government depart- ments, pulp and paper interests, and the matter ended with the meeting heartily endorsing the suggestion of the manager that the soft pedal be put on all such campaigns originat- ing outside of newspaper offices. He said he had no desire to tell the pub- lishers what they should print off their own bats, but the outside or- ganized efforts to work the newspap- ers should be resisted. These efforts. were disguised under movements for "the public good," sometimes local organizations being used. Where there was no local society which would stand sponsor] the people in- terestetl usually organized one. Newspapers to -day needed more rev- enue and the .only people ,they could fairly expect to get it from were those who' needed advertising space. The toughest problem confronting the press was to deal with people who wanted something for nothing. Office R. e -op ened Miss Maude Bryans Wishes to Announce that she has opened an nilire nt her home nee block West of the Bank of Nova Scotia, and is prepared to attend to all kinde of Optical work, Satfsfactlon Assured The special traffic officers attached to the highways department have been instructed by Hon: George S. Henry, minister of highways, re en- force strictly id future the anti -glare regulations of the highway traffic. The regulations were ",passed at the last session of the L-egislature. '' The main features of the regula- tions are their prohibition of head- lights of over 21 candlepower and their requirement of approved anti- glare devices, Mere observance of these points, however is not sufficient, as the highways department intends insisting upon proper focusing of lamps, which will throw the light up- on the road, where it is needed, in- stead of in the eyes of motorists ap- proaching from the opposite direc- tion. The highways department has just issued a pamphlet explaining in simple language the way to properly fecus and adjust headlights. Other practices which the traffic officers are being instructed to check include driving with only one head- light or : without a tail light and neglecting to carry mirrors on trucks. FORDWICH Our Community was deeply shock- ed to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. William Coggin, of Fordwlch, wba passed away in Wingham Hos- pital on Monday evening, 15th inet„ after a brief illness.

WALTON Fine Timber.- A quantity of square timber is being taken out of this district. Mr. 'Wilson, of Wood- stock, and three assistants, have been working for some time hewing the sticks, which have been drawn to Sea - forth the past couple of weeks and it is expected shipment will be made on Thursday of this week. The work of the hewers has been admired by many of the older residents who had previously looked upon hewing as a lost art. All the timber from the district was rock elm and it will go to the shipyards n the old country, and for dock work and other such purposes. Mr. James H. Morrson sold seventeen sticks, the largest of which was 15" x 17" and 57 feet long. Mr. Wm. Trewartha sold six sticks, Messrs. John and Albert Me - Gavin, Zack McSpadden, Thomas Itiinney and Percy Taylor, one or two sticks each. The price paid was about 45c per cubic foot, hauling extra.

Flax Mill Burned. -Loss estimated at about $25,000 was caused Sunday night by a fire which swept with great rapidity through the large storehouse of the Owen Geiger flax mill here. The fire was discivered about 11.80 and though the blaze at that time was small, it spread with great rapidity because of the highly inflammable character of the con- tents of the building, which held all the tow and seed from the crop of last year. A large number of tools were also stored in the building. Firefighters were seriously handicap- ped because the water pressure was SO Iow and the flames so hot that practically nothing could be done to save the structure, and a large crowd had to 'stand by helplessly and watch the building go up in smoke. Efforts were directed towards saving the largo mill and a residence close by. These buildings are unharmed. Mr. Geiger was at his home in Hensall when the fire broke out, and when notified of the trouble immediately started here by auto.
