It was from a young man who had made his home with him for some time several years ago and , who isr now connected with a big firm in St. Paul, Minn., Victor H. Barr. The lad had worked in the Piano factory and on leaving here wept over to the United States to try his fortune. He has succeeded very well, holds a responsible posi- tion with his firm and. speaks .in high terms of the help and encour- agement given him by Mr.. and Mrs. Ken,p during his stay of nearly a Year in Clinton, when a youth over seventeen years ago. "•" , WHAT IT WOULD COST. According to the estimate of Al- derman F. E. Harley of • London, on the authority of a -professor of econ- oinics at Wetsern University, the el- ectrification of the London, Huron & Bruce railway would lost $21,500 Per mile ,or $1,612,500, This report was handed in to the Huron and Bruce committee recently and will be presented to the general meeting of the municipalities at the convention 'in London on Feb. '23rd. This does not take into consideration the pres- ent value of the H. & B. branch or its value g as a basis for re-making, The scrap value of the branch line's inaterial is also not considered in the $21,500 estimate, these fac- tors having been written off to take - care_ of the increased cost of mater- ials. It is thought that as"materials are coming down somewhat in price 3-121 that the actual cost might be con- siderably lower than this, NO CORN SHIPMENTS. Official notice is given by the de- partment of agriculture of a quaran- tine of "corn fodder or corn stalks, including broom corn, whether,. used for packing or other purposes, green sweet corn, yoasting ears, corn on the cob or corn cobs" grown in cer- tain townships corn, Welland, Heidi - mend, Oxford, Huron, Elgin, Middle- sex and Tient counties in Ontario, be- cause of the prevelance of the Euro- pean corn borer in those townships, and the danger of its introduction in- to other portions of the province by reason of the shipment of the corn and -corn products. _ , The above despatch wits sent from Ottawa on Monday and it has occa- sioned some comment among farmers interested in the different counties af- fected. It• is pointed out that it is an unfair discrimination as one man may be unable to ship corn while his neighbor across the road, who may be nearer the"affected area, may ship all he wants. It is thought that an embargo on the whole province should have been made. Not a great deal of corn is grown in Iluron for ship- ment. OUR "UNCLE}'. • The following from The Chesley Enterprise may serve to ease the i minds of some of our readers. How- cver isn't "uncle" a ratherg ood end suggestive name under the cu- cumstances? The gentleman of the three golden balls, who is usually accused of "soaking" his clients when he gets a chance, is familiarly spok- en of as "uncle". This "Uncle Saran" exchange gets • our goat. He is no uncle of ours. We wouldn't even acknowledge him is a step -father or a forty-second cousin. We had just recovered front the shock of 26c. for exchange on three meals amounting to $1.80 last summer, at Buffalo when we got so- other illustration on a small scale of how our taskmasters in- the Unitech States soak us on our "tainted" mon- afey.

Personally, and with all due respect to the intelligence of both • the bear and groundhog, we'd think it wiser, if the bed,fvas comfort- able and he wasn't' too hungry, for every "bar" of 'en to stay tucked up for at least a few weeks longer'. We may be having a *inter of most un- usual mildness but nobody can be sure when a storm may break on us. There's nothing like being prepared. for the worst—and then enjoying the best that conies.

BE ON YOUR GUARD, , "Tell yourmerchants and business people of Clinton," was the warning of the detective force of London Ifo our local police when visiting the Forest City the other clay, "not to keep much money in 'their tills, es- pecially on Saturday evenings, and not to cash cheques for strangers." It appears that there is a more or less organized gang at work through - opt the country, members of watch go into business places, hold up the in- mates and walk off with any ready money they can lay hands on. Some- times they make a small purchase, after banking hours, and tender a worthless cheque in payment. The police seem to think i1 people 'are, on their guard these . gat -rich -quick fellows might not find their work so easy. C. C. I.

The Simeoe County Council at its closing session last week passed a resolution calling upon the Govern- ment to refund to the municipalities the extra cost of printing the voters' list owing to adding the names of legislative voters other' than those o h'e n the municipal. al lists e member ember n said the voters' list for the ow big towns 1, would cost $1,200 to $1,500. He figured out -that the Government, ev- en if it paid the municipalities for the extra minting, would save at least $125,000,+ as compared with specially prepared lists got out un- der Government direction, For some years the municipal vo- ters' lists have contained but two parts, No. 1`eontaining the names of those entitled to vote at both muni- cipal and 'Legislaive elections, and No, 2; containa'fig the names of those entitled to tete at municipal elections only. A thirst part will be added this year containing the names of those entitled to vote only in Legislative elections. This will include the names of all women over twenty-one years whose names do not appear in the Municipal list and will greatly 'In- crease the volume of the list. LITTLE LOCALS.
