The Seaforth News complains that .the blocks with which the front street •of that town is paved are "wearing .out before they are paid for." They should have stucic to macadam. Well laid macadam,, immediately followed by a yearly coat of tarvia, makes a road next thing to cement in smnooth- -. Bess and for wearing qualities, much .superior to eentent. n s '' The future looks dark, indeed, for Bartley H. Dewart. The Farmer's Sun, the 'organ of the Drury Gov- •ernment, suggests that the salary •-of the opposition leader be abolished :and, "That the revenue which pro- erides Mr. Dewart with stationary and postage be cut off and he -be ;obliged to provide for these non-ess- tentials out of his own pocket. He would then write fewer letters." :isn't this a cold, hard' world? • News of Hap enh>lags in the Countfu and • District:.

'Sergt. -Arthur Riley, son of Mr. .Frank Riley of Goderich, died at the Military hospital, Toronto, on Theirs - day and was buried with military honours • at Goderich on Sunday. .Sergt. Riley. went overseas with the 18th battalion and was wounded in ,18th of 1918. He had been in hos- pital ever: since,- coating to Canada monthe ago. He had been in the Toronto hospital since about Christ- enas time. A London firm has bought the 'hotel and block of stores ---and the 'houses built at St. Joseph some years -ago by Narcisse Contine and will wreck same and take the material to London to be used for building, purposes. This is the end of one of :the maddest schemes ever -started in this country and is proof positive, that a "city" cannot be forced as a plant may at tines be forced, but Chat its growth must be a natural one. The annual meeting of the MaKil- lop Fire -Insurance .Company was held on Friday, Feb. 6th, in the town hail, Seaforth. A great number of Policy holders were present to dis- 'cuss the affairs of the Company and •all expressed themselves as being well pleased with the economical manage- ment of the Company for the last year. The treasurer's and auditors' report showed the Company to be in the best financial condition for some .years. The old directors were all re-elect- ed and Mr. James Connolly .of God- erich was elected president for the .e fourth thine without opposition. • THE SAGACIOUS PIG If anyone were to asp: what is the most sogacious of animals, one would immediately reply the clog anti next the elephant or the ape, but here comes a naturalist, W. J, Hudson, with a theory that the most sagacious of all is tate pig. 'We never doubted that the pig had almost human ' stupidity and stubborfess but it never occurred 'to as that he had almost human sa- gacity, Mr. Iludson, however, says that the pig can be taught as many tricks as a dog and as readily; that he can be made as affectionate and responsive; and that his power of acting with apparent thought is quite as great. "He is not suspici•ouse' says Mr. Hudson, "or •shrinkingly sub- missive like horses, sheep, cattle; " nor an impudent devil-may-eare like the goat nor hostile, like the goose: nor condescending like the cat; nor a flattering' parasite like the dog. He views us from'a totally different :a sort of democratic standpoint as :fellow -citizens and brothers, and takes it for granted that we under- stand his lanenage and without servility or insolence he has a natural, pleasant, eameradoeall or heal -fellow well -met air with us.

Mr. Offer's letter confirms the fire- resistant qualities of He says: . "1 covered the.roof of 201 Marlborough Ave., Toronto, with your Asphalt Slates some time ago. This house is one of a row of four, the•remaining three were covered with Cedar shingles. "These houses were close to a railway treek and on the night of August 15th, 1018, these roofs caught fire from a spark -front a passing trait. • "As you can see in the picture, the roofs ou three houses were completely burned through, including the sheeting boards and rafters. The boards and rafters on. 201 were also burned through, so that the fire passed over and trader your slates *aimed burning them in any way. "I have rebuilt the roofs and covered them with your Asphalt • Slates since I bevelled such good proof that if the four roofs bad been covered with your slates no firewould have occurred." And here is another letter, from G. F. Wi:igrove of Walsing- ham, Ont., dated December Cad, 1918. Mr. Wingrotiesays: "The house I liveinis a large frame with, dry pine rafteks and sheathing. I covered same with Brantford Reefing Iast Airy. "On November 2.111, at e:: -lit l.ethe morning; we discovered• that it was ail aflame in�:ide of roof of one pact, 1.8 x 30, with a fire breeze: fanning it. Bat he the use of the telephone curd the splendid fire -proof eualitiee lee ° ye r roofitex, we got the eire-out and found spaces where Cie raters end Inu 7, r were burnt out from hi under the roofing and the roofing still doing its duty of resisting fire. Alto remember this Mout inthe eountty where it took the best part cf halt ae hour :for help to arrive." • The Inspector cf the Waterloo Alutuai Vire Insurance, Com- pany, has this to say about Mr. \Tipp -ove's lire:- . • • "I inspectail this risk ref ter the fire, 11 was particularly evi- dent that the fact thnt the reef was covered with Brantford Roofing kept the are coufima":1 below the roof. If it had been possible for the fire to bre:,k through I do not sec how they could have saved the building. As it was the lova was com- paratively trifling." - When roofing -a building, it pays to put on afire -resistant roof as well as a beautiful one.

It is true that owing to unavoid- able circumstances we have found it necessary to work in some of what we call jobbers coal which, although it costs us a good deal more, invariably gives us tro+able. We would be money ahead to stick to our straight line stock, but the community requires so much coal each year, and if we aro•ent oft our supply from one source we must try another, or have considerable suffering. Under. existing condi- tions of disturbance there are very few things bought today that are entirely satisfactory; However, we are glad to say that during the month of December we took in 900 tons of good coal, elm) torts of which we were able to stock in our bins anticipating the in- evtable heavy transportation and car shortage.
