The local corps of elle Salvation Army had a social evening in their hall on. -Tuesday eyeing, a "birthday party", the admission fee being as many coppers as you were years old. There was quite a nuinoer present, too, of all ages, one man having walked all the way from Goderich to be present. A nice little program was put `on and refreshments were served during the evening. The local officers were assisted py the officers from Goderich. and Seaforth. The proceeds are for running expenses. A PURCHASING COMMISSION. A Purchasing Cominission for Can- ada has supercecled the War Pur - Chasing Commission whose business 1t is to supervise the purchase of all •sa h flies fag all n o departments ents of. the 11 p Government throughout the Domin- ion.. The 'policy of the 'Coiinnisstonr is to purchase direct from the best source of supply. In so far as pos- sible all supplies will be purchased by tender and the business .given to the -lowest tenderer for goods required. It is the policy also, in so far as pos- sible, to purchase goods in the dis- tricts where' they, are required and it is honed that dealers and business men will • co-operate by tendering, when tenders are called for, and so assist the Commission in their work. HAS SOLD FARM. Mr. E. L. Mittel has sold his farm engthe 1-luron Road just east of town, the old Torrance fare, to Mr. Win. Henry of `Honsall, who gets posses- sion the middle of next month. The price paid for "the farm was $13,000 and Mr. Henry also buys all the stock and implements, which will bring up the sale price another couple of thousand or so.. Mite Henry has been west for some time and returned with the intention of bnying'and set- tling here. He has certainly ntacle a good choice of location as he is get- ting a well -improved •farm with all the comforts and conveniences. Mr. Mittell has not yet decided what he will do but we hope he will not leave the locality, RE TAXING HYDRO. • The special committee appointed by the Legislature last year to consider :the distribution of hydro -electric power and a more uniform price, has reported and the report is now in the hands of the members. We have not yet had an opportunity of looking ov- er the report but one of the recom- mendations is that the riydro-bnoc- tric Commissionh s otil ' taxa- tion. - cl rev m o a 1 . tion. to the province in the same pro- portion as would a private individual or company doing the sante amount of business in the diifetent ntuniei- lealities: The committee says that it considers the exemption of the hydro from taxation "as a system of bonus-, ing in its rno"st vicious form". If the committee has no more • valuable • recommendations than this to shake , then the time spent in its researches was surely time wasted. COMING FEB. TENTH. 'The Zedeler Quintette, which is to appear' here on the evening of Feb. 100 at the Own hall is a company of brilliant artists which correctly in- terpret the music -of the masters: It • is the one oganization now doing pub- lic work which has fearlessly elfin, inated all so-called popular numbers from its programs—in spite of the fact that the present day and age is the era. of so -Called "jazz." Nicoali Zedeler, the director of this noted Quintette, carried out an ideal in the organization of this company. He implicitly believed that the mass- es really loved good music, and he has shown conclusively that the plain- ` common everyday people really do appreciate the best in music. He has gathered a company of five very dis- tinguished instrumentalists. Mr. Zedeler, who formerly was cello soloist • of the Stockholm Sweden Symphony Orchestra, and later with the Bendix New York Symphony Orchestra, is one of the best known celists of the clay. He in- sists on a high standard in the pro- gram of his company. A combination of violin, collo, and piano and a spec- ially constructed reed organ is used to obtain symphonic effects ,never be- fore heard in the work of so.small a company. Musical critics are con- stantly amazed with the volume and character 6f the number's offered by the Zedeicrs, The members of this organization are in addrtlon to Mr. Zedolor, Salvador Sala, the young Spanish violinist; 'raider Karon, a young Russian artist of the vtolinl Miss Elie Fortune, soloist; and Mir- hint Zedeler, accompanist. Plan opens at H'air`s on Saturday, ' Jan, 29th, EGAGEMJB T ANNOTJNCED; - Mr, and Mrs. John Harvey of Londesborn announce theengage- ment ergage - uo f of their calbnter, Dctti May, to Mr. Willientth- Calvin Lovett, the marriage- to take place early in Feb- ruary, YOUNG WOMAN CALLED.

' The parent plant in Clinton is do- ing very well, too: "We understand from Mr. W. 0. Goodwin, the genial manager of the Jackson Clothing Co., that the past year, has been a very good one tar the Hensall factory. Although many small factories have been etpsecl down duringthe past year, the Jackson factory is still running full time with ursplendid outlook for the future. The factory now employs fourteen with a play roll of .- over $500.00 a month. They still have room for sev- eral more girls. The factory when it opened here advertised that oper- ators could make as highIs $14.00 a. week. Our citizens will be pleased to learn that mine of the operators have already made over this amount." rlensall Observer. CLINTON COUPLE N MARRIED.

Judge Dickson last week handed down his decision in regard to the assessment appeals heard in Clinton several weeks -ago, In each of the cases heard, that of W. J ,Paisley, C. F. Libby and McTaggart Eros., the assessable incomes were substantially added to, in the ease of T. Cottle and J. Cunin h arn e a business s tax was put on and in the case of J. G. Medd the assessnhent on his property was'slightiy increased. His Honour makes this. comment, when dealing with the income cases: "Why assessors' do not insist upon in- come returns verified by oath or de- claration as provided by the Assess- ment Act, particularly in such cases as this, T cannot conceive. If this were done in Clinton, it would great- ly assist in getting at the correct and proper assessments, and would sim- plify the work of the courts of re- vision in case of appeal." HOWICK MAN NEW WARDEN. At the opening meeting of the county council at Goderich on Tues- day Mr. Peter Doig, reeve. of_Howick;• was elected warden. Following a tinge -honoured custom which allows the Liberals to elect the warden one year and the Conservatives the next, the Liberals had the privilege this year. There were four m the run- ning, M. Armstrong of Mullett, Gor- don Young of Colborne, Dr. Grieve of Seaforth and Mr. Doig, and the ryco was a close one, Mr.- Doig being el- ected by but one of a majority over Mr. Young, Thero is quite a sprink- ling of U. F. 0. members in the council this year and it was thought that they might upset tlie arrange- ment by which the warden is chosen each year and force the vote into the open council but they dict not do so. One man is reported to have said that he would vote with the Lib- erals this year and with the Conserv- atives next.
