The Owen Sound Sun -Times of Thursday last had the following re- garding the regrettable deabh of a well-known Clinton bop: "Emerson Libby 18 years of age, was eeletroeuted yesterday morning about 10.30, while engaged in paint- ing the front of the Owen Sound Garage.. The yonug man was on a scaffolding about eight feet above the side walk, and was apparently holding on to an iron pipe in which were a number of electric wires, With his right hand and in reaching to painta spot to the left his left hand touched an unprotected end of wire several feet Away. The iron pipe was grounded and 550 volts went through hila.' Kenneth Porter, an employee of the Owen Sound Battery Service Co,. was standing at the foot of the ladder when he saw,.Em- erson.real and sort of hang from the wire. He immediately i edlatel suspected the causen a d called for another man to conte with wire cutters to cut the vietim loose. Before this could be done Libby fell from the scaffold to the sidewalk, alighting on his side. He struck the pavement enough to cause a e a bruise, He was immediately picked up and carried into •the sales depart- ment' and medical aid summoned. He was still breathing when picked up from the isdewalk, and there is a general opinion that if a .puluiotor had been available that the young man's Life could have . been saved. Doctors Gaviller, Brewster, Howey and Hershey were soon on the scene, but in spite of their untiring efforts for over an hours at resuscitation, their work availed nothing. The - spark of life had fled. So far as could be learned, the young man had been engaged in 'layingup' tine machines of 'the Clinton Knitting Co., of which hie father was manager, and only the day before the accident had he com- pleted this work. With the idea of making a little extra pocket money he had taken over the work of paint - Mg the front of the garage, which occupies the main floor of the same building that houses the Knitting Co. Ise and Ken Porter were 'at work on this when the accident hap- pened. The; victim was quite well known here and particularly at Miss Bear - man's, where he boarded, and was highly regarded be, all.

A meeting was held in the council chamber yesterday evening of the ex- ecutive committee" of the Clinton branch of the Red Cross and arramge- inents made for the canvas for mem- bers. All over the world during May and June a systematic effort is be- ing made for the enrolment of mem- bers in the Red Cross. and Canada and Ontario is doing its share. It is hoped Clinton and vicinity will al- so "line up" as it usually does in all worth while matters. Mrs. J. Scott was appointed "chief canvasser" and next week we hope to publish 'the names of all those who will under- take the work in town and vicinity. The committee consists of the officers chosen at the organization meeting and representatives from the Wom- en's Institute; Girls' Auxiliary and the women's organizations of the dif- ferent churches. THEY'LL BE CURIOUS. The enumerator is going to ask a whole lot of questions, being so cur- ious that doubtless many will feel like suspending for the time the rules of politeness. and telling him to "mind his own business," or some- thing to that effect. Don't do it however. The Government "wants to know, you kdow," and you ]night as well tell them. In case those living in the rural conununities should imagine that the town -dweller is getting off too easily, we might remind them that every business ]Han has to make a return of his business to the Gov- ernment every year, quite aside from the income tax return, giving simil- ar information to what the farmer is being asked now by the enumerator. The Government seems to be getting •curiouser and euriouser all the time about one's personal and private business. C. C. 1. BOYS AT LONDON.

VICTORIA DAY. Victoria Day was quietly ob- served in Clinton many of those owning cars going off for family or group picnics, etc. Some went fish- ig (and you should hear the stor- ies of the catches some people tell). others stayed home and finished up their gardening some played ball, some bowled, and others just "loafed; or rested. The clay was ideal, bright anti sunny and not too hot and the rain kept off until after the fireworks display in the evening. The 24th of May, being the first holiday oft the sunmser, rs always a popular one and having observed it So long it' would be rather odd not to do so but perhaps we should ob- serve the birthday of the king, which comes on June 31•d. The two clays come too closely together to make it possible to observe both, and is not done except by the banks, AN UNJUST LAW—IF IT IS LAW. The law provides that the board of a high school or collegiate insti- tute which is attended by a pupil from an "adjacent" county may bill the council of the county in which such student has his home for a propor- tionate amount of the cost of main- taining the school. Fon instance, some students from Howick and Grey townships might attend the Listowel school, or some from Bruce county might attend at Wingham. County Clerk Holman has compiled figures showing that in' the. last five years the Huron county council has paid over $4,000, or an average of over 3800 a year, for students attending schools in other counties, and this year bills have been presented from the collegiate institutes of Woodstock and Owen Sound as well as from sev- eral schools nearer this county. Mr. Holman believes this is an undue straining of the word 'adjacent', and is communicating with the Depart- ment of Education to secure an in- terpretation of the law. With some of the best schools in the Province situated in this county, it seems quite unnecessary that any student should pass them all by to attend one fifty to one hundred miles distant.—God- erioh- Signal.
