and arm drawn in. The thumb and
first two fingers and part of the
third were severed. The arm was

THE TOWN COUNCIL.
The council met on Monday even-
ing, all members present with the
exception of Reeve Ford and Coun-
ciIlor McEwen.
A grant of fifty dollars was voted
to the Huron County Live Stock
Show, to be held in Clinton ori Ap-
ril 16th.
Arrangements were made that the
council as a whole meet t0 confer
with the Public Utilities Commission
on Monday evening next with regard
to adding to the water supply of the
town, the supply at present being lit-
tle more than that actually needed.
The report of the cemetery com-
mittee recommended that a covering
be supplied for the cemetery superin-
tendent when he is, obliged to work in
the ratn,;digging graves., etc., and the
committee was empowered to use
their own judgment in the shatter.
Tho opinion of some members of
the council was that Sunday funerals
should be distouraged but others
thought that the clergymen could be
depended upon to do that in so far
as it could be done.
The property committee reported
the purchase of a new stove for the
police office as the old one was con-
sidered dangerous.
An account from the Public Lib-
rary Board for work, etc., was hand-
ed over to the finance committee.
Chairman Cooper of the property
committee thought that the water-
ing cart should be got into shape
early and tenders asked for for
street watering so that the dust
can be kept down early before the
tarvia is applied to .the streets.
A number of accounts were Pre-
sented and ordered paid.
'Byelaw' No. 4 for 1018 was read a
third time and passed empowering
the council to borrow money to meet
present texpenses •
The Mary 8,10001 drain, 'that, con-
stant source of worry to ,council` and
others, was again up for discussion,
being introduced this time by a let-
ter from the town solicitor inform-
ing the council that Mr, Conuell's
counsel had agreed to allow the mat-
ter to rest tor a time to give the
council and users of the drain an op-
portunity to come together and see
what solution of the difficulty could
be reached, Solicitor Brpdone ad-
vised that there be no delay in ap-
pointing, a comnvittee to meet the
users• of the ,drain and that an on-
deavor'be made to come to some de-
finite understanding which would be
Satisfactory to the' town, the users
of the drain and 1V1r. Connell. e. The
nhayor and Councillors Sheppard and
Miller were appointed a committee
to represent the council at this
conference. •
Chairman Miller of the fuel coni-
inittee.reported that about 250 cords
of wood had been- cut'fronh the wood
lot purchased by the town and that
most of it was already, sold at a
sufficient price to'bover 111000st,' He
also 'roported that another couple of
acres of•bush had been purchased and
would be out into wood in due time,

NOT ON THE WANE
Those who think the Patriotic
spirit among. women is waning may,
be surprised to know that during
last month the members of the Clin-
ton Women's Patriotic Society have
knit 1,000 pavers of socks. This was
the result of the contest between the
ladies of the north and south sides
of the town, the north winning with
524 pairs,'Wingham Advance.
Waning, did somebody say ? Why
the women are only beginning to get
their "second wind" as it were. The
patriotic spirit of the women of Can-
ada will not wane until - peace is
signed in Berlin,
SOMETHING IN THIS, TOO.
"Recently Ea merchant in a rural
town happened to see a farmer re-
ceive a box at the depot and noticed
it was from a mail order house. 1 -le
also
hotg
ted that the - goods were
right in iris line and the same he had
carried for years. IIe immediately
approached the farmer and said : 'I
could have sold you the. goods you
have Isere for less money than the
mail order house and saved you the
freight." "Tion why don't- you do
so ?' said the farmer, '1 hare taken
the local paper for a year and have
not sten a line about you selling
these or any other goods. This mail
order house sends advertising matter
for my trade and they get it. If
you have any bargains,why don't
you put them in the paper so we can
see what they are."' Exchange,

LOST LIT'TLI: DAUGHTER,
Word was received' an town on Fri-
day of the death of Dorothy,,, the
little daughter of the llev, Edward
Laird Mills and Mrs. Mills o1 Salt
Lakei'ity. ;The child had been operat-
ed upon for acute appendicitis a few
days previously. MTS. frills and
her Children were spending the. wiu-
ter at Long Beach, Cal,, and the ep-
oration-'was performed at San Fran-
cisco Meg. Mills was the daughter
tet
of the late Albert May and will be
remembered by many in Clinton and
vicinity. Little Dorothy was a
singularly attractive child of seven
years and her sudden taking off is
keenly felt by the parent's and re-
gretted by the many friends of the
family,
SO i3EWARii,
It appears that there are in Eng-
land some pedple mean enough to try
pretenses
to get money by false p i
from the relatives of soldiers in
Canada. Recently the wife of a
Canadian soldier at Waikato wired
sixty dollars to her husband, in Eng-
land ht response to a cable purport-
ing to conte from him. lIcrt'sus-
picions were,, aroused when she re-
ceived the same day a letter from
him in France and in which he n'lade
no mention of an intention to visit
England. Someone also tried it on
the relatives of a Lucknow' soldier
but got the blame different and so
unused suspicion. Relatives of sol-
diers should be sure before cabling
money overseas.
