SATISFACTORY REPORT,
' The Provincial Health Inspector:
who visited Clinton a short time ago,
recommended a monthly inspection of
food-vending'establshments. His re-
port was very satisfactory, however,
and this was rdally the only recom-
mendation he made.
ENGAGEMENTS ANNOUNCED.
Mr: and Mrs. Peter Cole of Goder-
ich township announce the engage-
ment of their only daughter, Flossie
Jane to Mr. Johon Stewart Mair, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. K. Mair of
Clinton. The mariage to take place
this month: -
The engagement is announced of
Vera Lewis, eldest daughter of the
late Mr. Wesley • Latimer and Mrs.
Latimer, Westminster avenue, To-
ronto; to Mr. Frank Eadie Foulds,
1j.Se. (Agr.), of Clinton, younger
son of Mrs. Martha E. Foulds of To-
ronto, the marriage to take place
the end of June.
KEEP LIGHTS ON.
A number of convictions have been
male- recently in Clinton for neglect
to keep lights burning on automobiles
standing on the streets. Some people
seem to think that if a car is not
running there is no obligation to
have the lamps lighted. This is a mis-
take, however, as the law is clear on
this point. -Section 6 sub -section 2
of 'the Motor Vehicles Act reads:
"Whenever on a highway after dusk
or before dawn, every motor vehicle
shall carry three lighted lamps in a
conspicuous position, one on each side
of the front and one on the back of
.the vehicle." Drivers of cars had bet-
ter . govern themselves accordingly
and avoid trouble.
MIWISTER WILL SPEAK.
At the U. F. 0. picnic to be held
in Mr. Fred Tyndalls grove, Lon-
don Road, on Tuesday afternoon next,
under th'e auspices of the Farmers'
Clubs of Clinton 7 and Seaforth, the
Hon, F. C. Biggs, minister of Public
Works, will give on address on the
road policy of the government. This
will -be a good opportunity of hear-
ing a member of the Government
speak and to learn something of its
policy regarding the road system.'
Mr. A. ' Hicks, member for South
Huron, Mr. A. A. Powers, president'
'of the Co-operative Company, and a
lady from the U. F. W. 0. will also
speak .This will be a nice, social
gathering to, wlmielt everyone is wel-
come. Pack a basket and go with the
crowd.

THEM WUS HAPPY DAYS.
In announcing an increase in sub-
scription to $2.00 per year The Kin-
cardine Review thus goes into "an-
cient history" in regard to relative
'values: -
"When the present publisher of
The Review bought the business a
year's subscription would buy p a co • rd
of -wood two feet long, 'now we have
to give the paper for three years for
a cord of wood sixteen inches long.
Since then all products such as we
buy directly or indirectly from hun-
dreds of our subscribers have in-
creased in the same ratio. The $1.00
we got from the farmer for the Re-
view would buy 8 to' 12 dozen of
eggs, front Oma to 8 pounds of but-
ter, 15 to 20 pounds fresh beef or
pork, 2 to 3 bushels of potatoes, 18
to 20 pounds of fowl, while now a
year's subscription will only buy us
one. half bus. of potato -es, less than
two pounds of butter and.about two
dozen' of eggs, 3 or 4 pounds of beef
or pork and not 2 lbs of bacon. Flour
'was in those days only $2,00 to $2,25
per 100 lbs!, to day it is over $7.
We could add more items to this list
to make the comparison complete;
but these should be sufficient to show
any reader that he or she is still get-
ting the best of the deal in an ex-
change of commodities. A news-
paper at the new price is still the-
cheapest
hecheapest article that can be pur-
chased today."
MRS. J. STERLING PASSES.
After a somewhat prolonged ill-
ness Mrs. John Sterling of Clinton
passed away at her home on Vic-
toria

ment would benefit her but she was

religion, being a member of Willis

the council and be discussed, ,When
he withdrew some discussion fol1oweda,,_
Mayor Cottle said be had visited the
)tool room of Mr. Wilson Elliott, the
last one to be licensed, on a couple
of oceasions and had found no minors
present. Sergt. Welsh asked leave
to speak and said he bad visited the
pool room and had found minors
present but not playing and he had
warped Mr. Elliott that he must not
allow minors on the premises. He
said he thought Mr. Elliott was un-
aware until he had done so that it
was against the law to allow them
on' the i remises. Several Members
of the council spoke but no action '
was taken.
The Paris Committee reported that
the baseball grounds had been level-
ed and graded at a cost of $13,50.

ities Commission be asked to consid-
er the extension of the water main
on Isaac street for the protection- of
the Flax Mill. Councillor Wiltse sec-
onded the adoption of this report and -
some discussion followed . Supt.
Chant of P. U. being present asked
permission to speak and wished to
know if the council was ordering the
Commission to go on and extend the
main. Such being the case the work
would be gone on with. Councillors
McMurray and Nediger made
a motion to the effect that a
report on the eost.of making the ex-
tension be brought in by the Com-
mission. .
Councillor Middleton thought,'that
whatever was to be done should be
done at once as it had been pointed
out by Councillor Johnson the prop-
erty could not at present be protected
in case of fire. Supt. Chant said de-
lay was almost sure to be caused by
the - difficulty of obtaining material
and the mayor said that when the
commission had a report ready a
special meeting of the council would
be called to deal with it.
