Centralia Oct. 22.—Thieves visited
the .Shamrock Creamery some time

been heavier. •
The market place in London was
warned to keep a watch for any suspic-
ious crocks of butter as well as prints
because the full crocks ready to go out
on the cream routes to -day were all
taken.
The thieves also forced an entrance to
the G. T. R. station here, and carried

NEW ARRANGEMENT FOR COLLECT-
ING OF LUXURY TAXES FROM
NOV, I,
l-tensail Oct 26.—After hanging to a
limb of an apple tree for five minutes
awaiting possible assistance, Milne Ran-
nie, Hensall merchant and choir leader
is Carmen Church relaxed his hold and
feel 15 feet suffering the fracture of
three ribs,
a
fractured
ured wrist
and sev-
ere contusion to the face, Mr, P.annie
will be laid up for some time but his in-
juries are not regarded as dangerous.
Mr. Ronnie had been picking apples
and got out on a big branch to reach the
fruit. When he slipped he was unable
to reach the ladder and hung for five
minutes, His calls for help were un-
heard.
Under the revised system of collect-
ing the luxury taxes in Canada, whish
comes into effect on November 1. every
merchant will be under license, The
plans for inaugurating the new syitem
are well advanced and the special
stamps will be availaitle for all mer-
chants by the last day of tints month,
The method to be followed it is ex-
plained, will give the Intend Revenue
Department a complete check on all
transaction and the collection by means
of stamps will stake the operation of
the act much more simple.
TO I:IAVE PERFORATING
MACHINE
Every merchant is to be supplied with
a. special machine f,or cancelling the
stamps by perforation and Merchants
will be charged a nominal license tee of
$2, They will not, however be required
to pay anything for the perforating
machine. Supplies of the stamps will be
available at all banks and also at the war
Taus local sustoms offices so, that it will
not be necessary for merchants to stock
up for long periods in advance.
MAY REFUSE TO RENEW LICENS
• ES
While the statement has not been
made officially that such action is con-
templated it is pointed that in the case
of merchants who persist in ignoring
or evading tine law regarding the collect
ion of luxury tax on goods sold by them
it will be within the power of the de-
partment under the new regulations to
refuse to renew the licenses of such
merchants and they would thus be un-
able to continue in business,
