Ontario is Pot languishing for a Sunday news- paper and there are inroads enough on the Lord's Day without the American dallies, BARN fires are altogether too common to be allowed to go by without a search ing government enquiry. In some neighborhoods little or nothing has been done except to have suspicions aroused as to who the guilty party or parties are, The culprits should be bunted down and made smart for their folly. POLITICAL parties are forming up in battle array. Last week West Elgin Liberals place two candidates, Win. 'rolmie, Ailboro township, for the Com- mons, and Dr. Lumley, St. Thomas, for the Legislature. Some wag has already said the latter will have a great pull - he's a dentist. This is where you have a brief but hearty laugh. HAY was a great crop in this Dominiou in 1916. It is estimated at (5,107,000 tons as compared with 11,228,000 tons last year. there may be a shortage in straw bat the increase in hay will put the farmer in better shape for feeding during the coming Winter, We know of farmers with upwards of a hundred head of cattle. They stand to make some money next Spring. GERMANY will hsve a sweet old bill to pay as compensation for the destruction wrought in Belgium by the war. It is computed, by those competent to speak, that the losses will toot tip to the enor- mous figure of $25,000,000,000. A big war is one of the most expensive under- takings any Nation can engage in, par- ticularly when carried out on such an immense scale as the present hostilities, KNox Church, Elora, has celebrated the 7geh Anniversary in their history.)

It was under the supervision of Mr. Carter that all the cement walks were laid in Blyth ; also the erection of aur public erhnol and the Blyth Driving Park, the latter of which he was vice - President, Mr. Carter's abilities were early rerngnized and when there was a laborious piece of work to he done or looked after, he was the 01011 se- lected for the job. Since the purchase by the town of the electric, light, Mr. Carter had been Chairman of the IVater and Light Committee and he placed that depal truant of the town's affairs on a paying basis -an under- taking which some maintained could not lie dune. Under his direetiOtd the town inaugurated a complete system of fire protection in the laying of water mains throughout the town and the installation of a pump with a rapacity of 750 gallons per minute. The major part of the impenverneits whirl' citizens of Blyth now enjoy are due to the ability and eftirte of the late Mr. Cni ter. The late Mr. Carter was married in the year 1875 to lilies Mary H. Taylor who survives, and to whom nnnrh sympathy is extended in het bereavement. The funeral took place frnnl his late residence, Viotor)a Street, Thursday, with interment in the Union Cemetery. of Councillor Jos, Carter HDW PRESIDENT IS their gland dads and grand mammies did so long ago. GONE but not forgotten, area the 1 l, old fash- ioned grist mill. The flour, maybe, was not so fine or as white as that purchased from the big mills to day but many a big family of youngsters grew up on it to be hearty and healthy with few symptoms of indigestion or other I The Blyth Standard of last week says :-It was with saddened hearts that nue citizens learned on Tuesday morning that Councillor Joseph Cat• - I Omit. now ter was no more and that a lxa d stands vacant at 0115 Alunicipal Board, Mr, Garter had tint been in gond health for the past two years but was able to be about most of the time, and I on Monday night was up town for his mail, called at the Staandard and spent an hour, with others, in discussing the stomach troubles, '!'hat old time brown bread was all right and would do good if once more was generally used. IT is said on account of the high price charged for bread in Winnipeg by the bakers the City Council will ask the Legislature to pass legislation to per- mit of them running a civic bakeshop. A dairy and fuel supply may also be ad- ded. This is along practical lines and if graft can be excluded the results Should be to the advantage of the people. I Sometimes people cut their own bead off by getting too anxious for the "dough." Tttsas wasa dayinOntario t when the Government was hounded over the new- t established so-called Y al ed Modal Farm. That was some years ago, of course, now no expenditure, or appropriatiou, finds less opposition than those made in the interests of Agriculture. '1`o further as- sist in this work 200 acres have been purchased, near Kemptville, to be util- ized as a Demonstration Farm, under the direction of the Ontario Legislature. TlA1.tEsvitt.tc village Council must have a big heart, a level bead and a philanthropy worth talking about. For 20 years they have presented the Edi- tor of that spruce burg with Ste 00 as a recognition of his publishing the mints tee of that body. Imagine one of Bur- en County Municipal Councils handing over such a sum, Guess they don't do it for fear the recipient would die forth- with from e rush of blood to his head We wish to tender our personal thanks to Thatneeville Council. It must be like living in plover to dwell there. Tuts is the season of the year when lost and strayed animals and articles are often sdveri'sed. The Dresden Times has a story about a lost watch. ldr. Bondy, while feeding hogs, dropped his watch into the trotigh. Before he could reach it one of the swine had gobbled it, Fortunately he knew the one that had his Bolter and the animal was butchered the next day, Timepiece was secured and on being Wound up struck off as if is hail reposed ail the time in its owner's vest pocket. We would advise Mr, Bondy to attach a shoe lace or a piece of binding twine to his cronomitor le future as a second eseapade might not reshlt to fortunately, late war' news, its which he took a keen interest. He appeared in his usual health, and little did those present think when he left far home it was his last "good night." Mr. Car- ter had retired but a short time when Ile complained to his wife of a severe pain in his head and arm and when it did not improve, she advised her brother, Archie Taylor, who with Mrs. Taylor, went to the house, medi- cal aid was summoned but the patient gradually grew worse until Ire finally succumbed about 9 a. m. In the death of Mr. Carter is removed one, who for many years has held a prominent place in the affairs of the town, and Blyth loses la truly loyal citizen. He leas born in Tuekerarni111 Township, County of Huron, in the year 1850, and when about sixteen years of age was aPp eentired to the eabioet making trade at Constance, where Ise served four years, three as appp,entice and one as journeyman. Ile came to Blyth in the year 1870 and for four years occupied himself at eonlrarting and building and at times had as many as fifteen men in his employ. Ile then branched out in the 100110. facture of shingles, barrel heads and staves and erected a mill nn the site where De. Allison's residence now stands. He met with considerable success in this line of business, but ow- ing to ill health, caused from the dust, he wan compelled to dispose of the business, which he did after conduct• ing it for two and a half years, his brother and a Mr. Alexander becom- ing the nese proprietors, It Was fol- lowing this time that he com- menced to exercise his inventive genius and in 1878 the Carter Auto- mata Boiler Cleaner was pet•fected and patented. For two years he travelled through the United States with his invention, covering every state in the union, but throughout a11 kept his home in Blyth. On hisie- turn from his tour of the States, he went into the livery bueiuess, the harp then standing on the lot now occupied by J. Stothere' residence. Mr, Carter dieposed of title bttaineea to Alonzo Shane and in the year 1881 he built the block now owned enol occupied by James McMurchie, It was about tide time that he first entered. Blyth'a Municipal Coueil, and after 3 years dropped nut and took the Assessor - ship which he held for 2 years in 800 - recision. About the year 1884-5 he entered the employ of Messrs, Lucas &Tanner and was stationed at Cal- gary, AIberte, for 3 years, superin- tending their extensive livery and sales stables at that place. In the year 3888 he again had a seat at the Council Botta and had been one of 001' town fathers ever since, with the exception of the Years 1892.8 when he was defeated by the small margin of 2 voles by Wm, S1en5 Its the contest for the Reeveship, and 4 years which he spent in the State of Michigan, ELECTED IN THE D, S. The method of electing a President i11 the United States is always a bit confusing to Canadians who are ac- customed to the 51111ple method in vogue in the Dominion in choosing a Premier, who is simply the leader of the party winning the majority of the seats in the Horse nP Commons. In the U. S. the President is elected by what is known as the "Electoral College," Each State is entitled to a fixed number of electoral votes, based on its population. For example Cali- fornia State has 13 votes, Connecticut 7, New York, 45, Pennsylvania 88 and so on, In all there are 531 electoral votes, and the Presidential candidate who receivee a majority of these is elected. 11 will be seen that the elect- ed candidate must have at least one more than half the total or 200 out of 531. In each State the party which car- ries the election (or in 061105 words gets a plurality of the votes cast) is entitled to the electoral votes allotted to til tt State. For instance, if the Republicans carry California, their presidential candidate gets the 13 electoral votes. The party electing its ticket in New York wins 45 elector- al votes foe its candidate and so on. Unit the full returns are in far a State, it is impossible to tell to which presidential candidate ire electoral vote groes -hence the danger of "es- timating" in COM plete returns, The Christine Seel Helping Canada's Greatest Charity Brussels sehoola were visited nn Fri - (ley of last week by MI, Watson, 15)eld Seeeetary of the National Sanitarintn Aeeoehttinn, ilia object being to pl'0• wrote the Christmas Seal Campaign in aid of the Aiuskolut Free llnepital for Consumptives.

The narrow drive wheel can be discon- nected, permitting the machine to turn in a very short circle. The engine has ample. power to handle the three -furrow plow, which turns a total width of 42 Inches. Some of the spectators object- ed to the wide furrows ; but the Case people have 14 different sizes and styles of moldboards and plowbottoms and so can cater to a variety of tastes. There were about 40 farmers present and the maj tits, were well pleased with the work done. Later the engine was belt- ed to a buzzsaw and some heavy apple limbs gave no difficulty at all. While this machine is called a 4'o -2o, it is capable of developing fourteen horse- power at the drawbar and thirty horse- power on the belt. 'Phe hill-elimbiug abilities of the machine were shown when it easily climbed a 4s per cent grade on sod. '1'o do an acre's plowing the tractor consumes about two gallons of coal oil.
