Would you think of asking your dealer "How much will It cost
for a picture 18x24 inchee, certainly not. He would think you de-
mented, 'because such a picture might be the work of a master or
e mere "pot boiler". Quality determines value, not size. Just so
with diamonds, a stone of a certain size might be cheap at $200.00
or dear at $125.00. Color, freedom from flaws, perfection of cutting,
are determining factors, even more so than size.
We aim to give our customers good diamonds, quality 'first with
us. Call and purchase your diamonds here.

SHOWERED BRIDE-TO;BE.
The Girls' Club of Willis church
and a few other friends went down
to the home of Miss Mary Smith on
Monday evening and, in view of her
approaching marriage, presented her
with a miscellaneous shower of things
suitable for a young housekeeper.
The young ladies spent a very jolly
evening together.
HE IS GRATEFUL.
Mr. Seth Fisher, who recently left
the hopsital after a rather 'serious
operation for the removal of his eye,
received .from the Ladies' Aid of
Ontario street church a handsome
flowering plant and, as: under tine.
circumstances he is unable to write
letters of thanks, he wishes to take
this opportunity of thankin the So-
ciety for their thoughtfulness., Mr.
Fisher prizes the plant very highly
and is grateful for the kindly thought
which prompted the gift.
FROM FAR-OFF INDIA.,
Mrs. Pennebaker received a .letter
recently from a: native missiohary in
India andalso, some Christmas cards,
''drawn by the ' •misstoiiary„' to
be distributed anongst,the'inembers
of the mtssioli'ary society:of�the Bap-
• tist chtireh. During IteV. Mr, Verde's
pastorate some correspopdence' was.
had with these people'`regarding'some
lace which the” ladies thought they
could sell here and the lady writes
to tell why it was impossible to send
it, 'The' ladies here had also the priv-
ilege of naming the missionary a lit-
tle daughter, whom they called "Mar-
garet Clinton, and it was in hes
name that the Christmas cards were
sent. 'Such personal missionary work
serves to bring the two churches very
close together and makes it more in-'
teresting to ordinary folk. The mis-
sionary writes very interestingly of
the work,

Early .Friday morning last Miss
Elizabeth Graham, for many .years a
resident of Clinton, passed away at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bay-
ley,, just north of the town, where
she had been spending a few weeks.
Miss Graham had -been in failing
health for the past couple of years
but with characteristic spirit and
cheerfulness she refused to give tip
and 'kept going about right up to
the last few days. For some years
she had not stayed in town for the
winter and last winter and this she
had stayed with Mr. and. Mrs. Bayley,
who looked after her well and made
her very comfortable. She had just
gone out there on Christmas Eve but
it was noticibre that she was fast
nearing the end, rind all last week
her life hung by a thread. She was
not taken unawares, however, but
had "set her house in order" and was
ready Tor the great change. She of-
ten spoke of it, always in the most
cheerful and brightest way, and to
her it Was but a stepping into a larg-
er and better life,
Miss Graham; was a 'daughter of
the late William Graham of Londes-
bore. She had resided in Clinton for
many years, however, and had for
some time had a studio and conducted
classes in painting. She was much
interested in her work and her pupils
and, indeed, it was but lately that
she was induced , to give up her
work.
She was a member of Wesley
church and in earlier years had ta-
ken an active part in Sunday school
work and other activities. She was
a life; member of the W. M. S.
One sister, Mrs. J. Blatchford of
London, survives, Mrs. Blatchford,
who is in delicate health, was ,tenable
to be with her sister at the end but
Mr, Blatchford was up for some days
before her death and he and his son
were here for the funeral on Mon-
day,
The funeral took place from the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Bayley on
Monday afternoon to Clinton cemet-
ery, The services were condueeted by
the ltev. D. N, McCainus and the pall-
bearers were: Messrs. a. C, McMath,
A. T. Cooper, G. A. McLennan and
C. J. Wallis,
The women of the Wesley emigre-
-gation and also malty friends em
pressed their respect by placingcing
flowers upon the casket. •
Mr. and Mts. Blatchford wish to
express their high appreciation of
the kindness shown by the
many friends and neighbors and °s.
peeially by Mr. and Mrs, Bayley, to
their sister in her illness,
WILL REDEEM UNUSED STAMPS.
The revenue department at Lon-
don received word the other day
from Ottawa that Luxury stamps held
by vendors will be taken back at
face value. A statement of claim
with details as to the number and
denomination of the stamps must be
sent to the collector- at London, who
will forward such claims to Ottawa.
Unused and uncancelled stamps and
also stamps.. which have been can-
celled •but not fastened to .the sales
slips will be redeemed. ' Stp'np per-
forators which have been supplied
with licenses will also be taken back
but additional , perforators purchased
by vendors will not be taken back by
the. Government,
ANOTHER INJURY.
Mr. George Cook received an in-
ury to his hand while
at work • in the Pi-
ano Factory the other evening which
might easily have been much more
serious. The sleeve of his shirt got
caught in the nmachine"ne was open
ating_and it was with difficulty that
he 'prevented his hand and arm be-
ing drawn in. Someone came along
opportunely and threw off the ' belt,
but not before the aria was somewhat
mangled. It is only a year or so.
since Mr. Cook ' lost a couple of
fingers' while • working in the same
place. No precaution is too great to
be taken when worldng around pow-
er -driven machinery.

MAY COME TO HURON.
Mr. D. A. Black of Grandin, North
Dakota, spent the week -end with Mr..
Ed. Johnston and his family on the
second of Hullett. Mr. Bieck owns an
eight-hundred-ac%e farm in • the best
part of the Red River Valley, a
farm for which he refused $85 per
acre last year, but nevertheless.he is
much taken with what he has seen of
Huron county and may sell out in
North Dakota and buy land here. He
is an extensive breeder and dealer in
Shorthorn cattle and' he considers this
climate more favorable for stock-rats-
ing titan the Dakotas. Mr. Black and
Mr. Johnston were old pais in the tat-
ter's "Red River" days and he says
this country would be considerably
the gainer if Mr. Black decided to
settle here. • We can assure him that
he would be more than welcome and
he'd find old Huron County not a bad
place at all to hang up his hat in.
-Mr. Johnston also says that as he
was the first of the Canadians to set-
tle in that particular part of N. Da-
kota in the early days ano a number
followed, so perhaps they will now
"trek" back home after him. Mr.
Black's father, who is over ninety
years of age, resides in Hamilton
and he came east to see him. By the
way, Mr. Johnston was wearing a
coat the other day,which the thought
might be a "Red River" coat and up-
on enquiring if it wasn't a genome
buffalo were assured' that it was and
that lie had bought it from an Indian
forty years ago. It must have been
a good skin for it looks good for an-
other twenty-five at least. It has al-
ready worn out two or three linings.
It is seldom one sees a real buffalo
coat nowadays.

good representation of the congrega-

Anything more changeable than the
weather we've been having during the
past week would be hard to Imagine.
Sunday we had the first blizzard of
the season. It wasn't very serious
but just sufficient to dispel the illus-
ion that January 1921 was a January
without a "kick."
Clinton hockeyists went to Exeter
on Friday evening and played an ex-
hibition game with that team, the

time.

o It seems a reasonable question o
o:. and -deserves a reasonable and o
o honest ansiver: • - - o
o • Newspaper publisher§ during o
o the years of the war and the -time o
o of rising prices had to face all o
o the conditions which faced other o
o business men. They had to pay o
o the highest price for everything o
o they ate and wore and ntakeaar- o
o i'angements to meet the higher o
o cost of producing, even as others o
o had to 'do. But while the price o
O of almost everything advanced o '
o the subscription price of a paper o
o. had to remain the same through- o
0 out the year. It had to sell at a o
o fixed price, although the - cost of o
o production was continually ad- o
o vaneing and now, while other o
o things show some indication of o
o coming down in price, the price p'
O of newsprint, the white paper on o
o which the paper is printed, is go- o
o ing up. This is caused by the 0
o fact that the supply does not e
o equal the demand and a much o
o higher price would have been o
O asked for it during the past few e
o years but for the appointment of 0
o a paper controller, All restrie- o
o tions as to price are now removed ct
andpublishers have to paythe o
o p
o price quoted in- the open market o
o and the big dailies of the Unit- e
o ed States would buy every pound o
•o of paper manufactured in Cann- o
o da. Newsprint which before the o
o war sold at $60 per ton is now p
o '$1.10 and as the end of the pntp-' o
o wood stores ..is. in sight the n
o price is not likely La fall but o
o rather to go much higher. •
0
o Newsprint is not the only con- o
o modity used in the making of a 0
o paper, of course, and it is not the e
O only thing which has advanced in c,
o price. Ink has nearly. trebled, o
o postage has trebled, beginning o
o Jan. lst, and wages have gone o
o up. The time has come for news- o
o papers to come a bit nearer o
o paying their way than they have o
o done in the past. ' There is not o
0 a newspaper published that could o
o live upon its subscriptions and in e
c the past newspapers have had to o
o put and are still putting the o
o heavy end of the burden of their o
o maintenance upon their aclvertis- o
o ing and job work departments. 0
oo But even at present prices of e
