The storm of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, together with the flu epi- demic, rather handicapped the rail- way companies and trains have been running rather irregularly this week, those on the L.H. & B. being can- celled for a day or so. They are on again, however, and it is hoped con. ditions Will soon return to normal.

We immediately wired to Tor- onto for a small part expecting to have. it by the same evening's nail. In the meantime we went to see what Mr. Seeley could do for us. We found, however, that he was hone nursing his sick wife and sol so did not disturb hint. The part did not arrive on the late train as wo expect - ad nor yet on the Wednesday morn- ing's mail so in desperation we went clown to Mr. SeeIey's house and had him come up , In a couple of hours the part was repaired and the machine running. It was about as neat a bit of welding as anyone would want to see and the only re- gret was • that we had- n't had it done twenty- four hours earlier, As it was by wonting late Wednesday night and holding over some school reports and a list of new books for the Public Library 'We were able to get to press only a couple of hours behind time. The part arrived from Toronto on the late train Friday. t.11111?111 V111,I9 The Patriotic Society-)teld an "At Home at the residence' of Mr and Mrs, Robt.
