This in- formation was given out over the weekend by Hon. N, O. Hipel, prin- cipal minister of labor, hlr, Hipel has, been in negotia- tion with the department •of high- ways Por some mouths in search of a solution to the problem. Arrangements have been made with the provincial police to recog- nize these permits and they will be issued to those making application in witting to J. P. Bickel', registrar of motor vehicles. Farmers making application must give a description of the tractor, such as: the trade ,name and the type of tires and the same informa- tion with reference to the wagons or traitors to be used. -Tavistock Gazette. The Merchant Generally an all round good fel- low, but of neceSsitp a gambler. He tries to guess what the ,price of merchandise will be six months ahead. H he lays in a big stook and the prices go up he is a "wise guy." But it he guesses wrongly and prices go down, his customers buy somewhere else and he is a poor buainese manager. But whether he guesses rightly or wrongly, he has to pay a good share of the taxes to keep the sidewalks and roads in good repair so that his customers oan ride or walk to send their money from the post office to a mail order house a hundred miles or so away. However, he is always the first remeatrbered when the subscription list is passed around. His presence Is missed when he doesn't attend every meeting or gathering, and he is a cheap skate when he doesn't buy a half dozen Masts, for every local program staged. He dresses his window with nice displays, and be is called a grouch when some organization asks for Voce for a poster to be pasted in front of his display and he demures. He must also gamble on the weather. It It cold in the spring, hia shelves are piled high with sum- mer goods, and should there be a nice fall; he oarriea moat of his goods over until next season, Only those who are In business know what it's all about in trying to Please the public. Thus this little article. So give the menobant and business man, a break, He deserves It more than many appreciate. Doubtful •. Legislation The Provincial Government's det- ermination to' introduce leglsla• tion at the next seselon of the Leg- islature to extend the period) of municipal cunei', for two years, With, authority by order-hi-cottncil for a, slily further extension, if war continues, la hard to understand, The only excuse for smell arbitrary legislation is ecot emy stud this is a sound excuse if valid, But the economy le very slight and might be all lost, with am extravagant mayor and eotttell, What le more most municipalities have some by- law which must be stibmitted. every YeAr to the electors and the Govern- ment, recognizing this situation, pro. vides for sash elections. This wipes out most of the economy plea. There is much to be said Tor a two-year team for municipal coun- cils. and particularly in the larger towns and cities, it takers a year for the mayor or aldermen to find his way around. With a longer term there is tears danger of councils act- ing eternally with' their eye on the ballot box, But in this democratic country surely the electors have the rights to some say as to the Muni- cipal term. What about the Legis- lature? " Hon. Eric Cross, minister of municipal affairs, takes it for granted thart the Legislature will put its, stamp of approval on his legislation, Have the private mem- bers no say. Are they just so many rnbben stamps. The most democratic foam of gov- ermnent we possess and the one closest to the people is the munici- pal.' It deals with things that touch the life of every citizen—edu- cation, sanitation, health{ streets, protection of life and property, The British democratic system of gov- ernment goes back to our rude Anglo-Saxon forefathers; The tribes- men met together and made laws' and meted out justice With the passing of time and the growth of population it was not feasible for all the people to gather together and so they elected representatives, who voiced; their opinions and: met in town council or Parliament -no legis- late far all the ,people, The civic government is nearest to the old system, for the simple'. reason the numiber of people to be consulted is smaller and it deals not with nation- al or international affairs, but home problems. There has been a tendency in re- cent years to centralize power at Toronto or Ottawa and to reduce the authority. of the municipal gov- ernmemt. For that reason people look with considerable suspicion on, this arbitrary action of the author- ities at Toronto —London. Free Press. DEMAND FOR FARM LAND INCREASED IN HURON Ilhe demand for productive farm lands is increasing, It was revealed at the county treasur'er's annual sale of property for tax orrears at Goderich last week, at which more than 50 buyers were present. The improvement was said due:" to the anticipated war time demand nor farm 3rrodut:e. There were 46 parcels on the list involving • $3,,600 ailerons', Taxes on 10 of these were Paid before the sale commenced, 20 were sold;.for $2,4113 and 16 were set over for an adjourned sale. The 16 properties unsold inioiVei only $300, It was the most successful sale of itg kind: in years, NAPOLEON'S IDEA "It is: a new phase, of the war that we are enterisg.

This question was' asked of C. E, Rohde, of the Missouri College of Agriculture recently, He answered as 'follows. At this season of the year, early molting hems of the yellow - skived variety will be observed as having much yellow color in their beaks and shanks, The am- ount of yellow •coloring indicates• the length of time •these individuals• have been on a vacation. The deep- est colorings denote the longest vacations, and usually the poorest - producing hens, Good profitable hens present quite a contrasting appearance at this time of the year. These in- • dividmais have a trigged, rough apeparence. Their feathers are dry and inclined, to be britttle.l Quite frequent{, the main tail and ` wing feathers have been worn or broken: off, The short feathers at the base of the comb are frequently missing, giving a bald appearance, and the back and shanks of birds . of ye•Ilow-skinned varieties are prac- tically devoid of any color. They appear bleached, because these in -1 dividuals have been producing eggs at a rate nvhich resulted in the placing of all the yellow pigment obtained from their feed, in egg yolks rather than. In storing it under the skin of visible body surfaces_ Standing :and examination of these individuals will also reveal the desirable cbaracateristics oat width and depth of body, bright, clear eyes, and heads which have a clean-cut appearance and with beaks which are short, slightly curved, and strong. ,ladine In Food For Hair Health Oysters, clams, lobsters, pine- apple and cod liver oil are rich in iodine which is important to hair health.
