ANOThER GERMAN TRICK.
There is a report in circulation
that the rubbers for fruit jars used
by housewives in Muskoka had been
poisoned and several ,people had been
made very ill from eating the fruit
contained -in the jars, The Govern -
„menu is looking -into the matter and
in the meantime housekeepers are ad-
vised to boil new rubbers before us-
ing them., One Clinton housewife,
having just finished canning a num-
ber
about
of jars of fruit, on reading bout
this latest danger, took oil the
rubbers and boiled them before put-
ting her jars away. It is better to
be "sure than sorry” as the old say-
ing goes.

Major W. Broder McTaggart, had

IIOW WILL IT WORK
Goderich township council at its
regular meeting last week instructed
the clerk to prepare a bylaw em-
powering the reeve and councillors
to hold office for two years. Should
this bylaw be passed it will come
into effect at the beginning of the
coming year. Some years ago there.
was a general movement -to have
reeves, rather representatives at
county councils, elected for a two-
year term but the plan did not
work out very satisfactorily and
was dropped. however, therp seems
in -
i al coun-
cilsgood reason why Y mumct p
cils should not be elected for two
years, it would do away with the
confusion and expense of an annual
election and would also give the
council a chance of carrying out
plans for improveme.uts which is not
possible during one year of office.
Indeed, there seems no good reason
ttlty a council for a municipality like
Goderich township should not be
carefully selected and elected for a
term of three years. Every . man
composing, the council has an inter-
est in the municipality and is not
likely to pull up stakes , and move
out.
Anyway, we shall watch with in-
terest hew Cloderich township works
out this problem of a longer term
of office for its municipal servants.

MARRIiOD TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Dr, Cr. F, and Mrs„ Belden of Tor-
onto, formerly of Clinton, on Fri-
day evening last celebrated the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their
wedding. They had invited a few
of their old friends to a reception

gratulations and good wishes.
WILL PROBATED.
The will of , the late Mrs. R. Ir-
win, formerly of Clinton, who died
in Toronto a few weeks ago, dis-
poses of her elects as follows : To
her half-sister, Mist 5, Rippey, she
bequeaths during her lifetime the
whole of her $9,851 estate, and at -
ter her - death to her own daughter,
Miss Mary Irwin. Her personal ef-
fects are to be divided equally be-
tween .them. The ';state comprises
clothing, , $50 ; household effects,
$175 ; mortgages, $8,200 ; cash in
bank, 5226 ; real estate in Clinton,
$1,200. The office of The News -Re-
cord is a part of this estate.
TIIE SAME HERE.
Diel it ever strike you that to look
around the streets of Wingham ono
would he led'to suppose that the
Allied cause is onein which we have
little concern, for despite the recent
splendid news, little or no bunting
is to be seen and there are probably
fewer flags to be seen than there
were a few years ago. This is not
the thing, for whatever our feelings;
appearances are sometimes every-
thing. If we cannot have, or should
not have, systematically organized
victory celebrations, surely we can
have a proper display of patriotic
emblems to sltott' our appreciation of
the good news that is coming to
lana —Wlflam

cord has been received. The last let-
ter received from Pte, Hill was

ANOThER GERMAN TRICK.
There is a report in circulation
that the rubbers for fruit jars used
by housewives in Muskoka had been
poisoned and several ,people had been
made very ill from eating the fruit
contained -in the jars, The Govern -
„menu is looking -into the matter and
in the meantime housekeepers are ad-
vised to boil new rubbers before us-
ing them., One Clinton housewife,
having just finished canning a num-
ber
about
of jars of fruit, on reading bout
this latest danger, took oil the
rubbers and boiled them before put-
ting her jars away. It is better to
be "sure than sorry” as the old say-
ing goes.

IIOW WILL IT WORK
Goderich township council at its
regular meeting last week instructed
the clerk to prepare a bylaw em-
powering the reeve and councillors
to hold office for two years. Should
this bylaw be passed it will come
into effect at the beginning of the
coming year. Some years ago there.
was a general movement -to have
reeves, rather representatives at
county councils, elected for a two-
year term but the plan did not
work out very satisfactorily and
was dropped. however, therp seems
in -
i al coun-
cilsgood reason why Y mumct p
cils should not be elected for two
years, it would do away with the
confusion and expense of an annual
election and would also give the
council a chance of carrying out
plans for improveme.uts which is not
possible during one year of office.
Indeed, there seems no good reason
ttlty a council for a municipality like
Goderich township should not be
carefully selected and elected for a
term of three years. Every . man
composing, the council has an inter-
est in the municipality and is not
likely to pull up stakes , and move
out.
Anyway, we shall watch with in-
terest hew Cloderich township works
out this problem of a longer term
of office for its municipal servants.

Dr, Cr. F, and Mrs„ Belden of Tor-

The will of , the late Mrs. R. Ir-
win, formerly of Clinton, who died
in Toronto a few weeks ago, dis-
poses of her elects as follows : To
her half-sister, Mist 5, Rippey, she
bequeaths during her lifetime the
whole of her $9,851 estate, and at -
ter her - death to her own daughter,
Miss Mary Irwin. Her personal ef-
fects are to be divided equally be-
tween .them. The ';state comprises
clothing, , $50 ; household effects,
$175 ; mortgages, $8,200 ; cash in
bank, 5226 ; real estate in Clinton,
$1,200. The office of The News -Re-
cord is a part of this estate.
TIIE SAME HERE.
Diel it ever strike you that to look
around the streets of Wingham ono
would he led'to suppose that the
Allied cause is onein which we have
little concern, for despite the recent
splendid news, little or no bunting
is to be seen and there are probably
fewer flags to be seen than there
were a few years ago. This is not
the thing, for whatever our feelings;
appearances are sometimes every-
thing. If we cannot have, or should
not have, systematically organized
victory celebrations, surely we can
have a proper display of patriotic
emblems to sltott' our appreciation of
the good news that is coming to

ter received from Pte, Hill was
