Time For Gossip. -
1 laugh to myself when 1 read in the
different papers about the sarcity of lab
or for working vacant lots, etc. Why 1
was counting up and in this town alone
there are 16 so-called gossip clubs,
where retired farmers, capitalists easy
living men, etc., all able-bodied men,
sleet nearly daily to discuss war matt-
ers, etc. Every day you can see three
or four men assembled at these places
yes and sometimes seven or eight, and
they cry about sarcity of labor for
working vacant land.—Mount Forest

Expect Reduction
Tine expectation amongst the coal
merchants is is that there will be a re-
duction in the price of coal during the
coiling month. It is proable
that the reduction would be from 50 to
75 cents a ton, This news of a reduct-
ion will be hailed with joy by hundreds
of householders, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the local tirnis will be the
biggest summer's business in their his-
tory as people will not let themselves
be caught with empty bins next winter
if the placing of early orders can pre-
vent
Chance for Lieutenants.
'there are in Canada many lieuten-
ants who are qualified and awaiting ap-
pointments in the C.E.F., who have no
chance of going overseas unless they
are either seconded or resign their cons -
mission. If they select to enlist they
will not to serve 'with units in Canada,
but will be collected at convenient cen-
tres and sent to England as special
drafts, as soon 35 troopships are avail-
able. On their arrival in England ar-
rangements will be made to post them
to any unit they prefer. No more aim -
missions will be granted for the C.E.F.
in Canada.
Cut Down Officers.
A schedule issued by the department
at Ottawa lays down the proportion of
officers that can accompany men going
overseas. For every 250 men short of
1000 available in a unit going aboard,
there is dropped the number of officers
utilized in one company of soldiers. If
the unit is less than 600 strong. then, in
addition it losses its second in com-
mand and the paymaster. l'nr Son men,
17 officers are allowed, and for less
number of officers are allowed,. When
battalions are only one company hi
( strength, it will take abroad officer of
! field rank. All units under 80u strong
Call have a conducting tiilictr, tt9iich
will mean, probably, that battalions in
i this district far below strentfh will be
taken overseas by its commanding offi-

The New Car-•egie Annex Opened.
The new c' negie Annex of the Clin-
ton Public .Drat.), is now being fully
appreciated by the multitudes of local
readers, as the splendid large stack
ronin with its twelve hundred square
feet and nearly eight thousand volumes
was last week thrown open to the
public. The live thousand dollar grant
which was secured from Mr. Carnegie
through the medium of the , Clinton
Board of Trade has been spent in the
erection of a roomy annex, and the
Library Board decided that as far ars
possible they would re -organize the
Library throughout and adopt the most
modern methods in an effort to make
the Library "up-to-date," in every way.
The Dewey Decimal Systems of catalog -
tieing and indexing has been used, also
the Newark System of changing, both
of which are considered the best avail-
able. A department not generally em-
phasized in small libaries is the Child-
ren's Department, but in the Clinton
Library special attention has been given
to this and twelve hundred volumes of
books specially suitable for children
have been placed in a large bright room
at the disposal of the children. The in-
teriorof tine old Library has been re -
papered, painted and furnished in har-
mony with the new part and a splendid
new systems of lighting introduced, also
a drinking fountain and lavatory has
been installed. While the circulation
of this library has averaged for a num-
ber of years eighteen thousand volumes,
and in 1915 went as high as ninteen
thousand, and which is about twice the
libraries 1

of this size, it is expected that because
of the increased accomodation tate cir-

Visitors and others interested in librar-
ies claim that the Clinton library is
one of the most up-to-date in the Prov-
ince, and is not excelled by any town of
its size. Much of the credit for the sue•
cess of this institution must be given to
the indefatigable President, Mr. W.
Bryd,me, Who has given an immense
amount of time and thought in the
creating of the library and in the com-
pletion of the new building, as well as
the librarian, Miss M, Rudd, who has
been most thorough In her work of re-
arranging the several thousand volumes,
