A t w 4 Or it may be that Father Winter thinks the youngster's need a !bit of skating to develope energy to face - the coning spring. * * s ' Again, it may be that Dad Winter is thinking sof the many people who need ice in their business and is try- ing to anticipate their needs. i Whatever the reason it has been amply, peeved this week that Old Dad Winter, spite of his vagaries • knows his stuff and when occasion calls far it can do it as effectively as I • ever he did. Or, perhaps, w• ho knows? the old • . clam just doesn't want to disappoint too badly those who beclouded the sunniest and balmiest day all win- - ter with gloomy prophesies to the • effect that "We'd pay up for this." * A A #, "The modern home," remarks the ' St. Marys Journal -Argus" is acne in -'which a switch regulates everything but the children." . b * The Wlingham Advance -Times has • been taken ever by. new owners, a partnership having been formed be- • tween Mr. W. W. Armstrong, son-in- law of the late proprietor, Mr. Craig and Mr. W. B. McCool, who has been <'onneeted with the publication for the past nineteen years. We wish the new owners unbounded success. • r r The Mail and Empire yesterday explained an "inexcusable double typographical error" which crept in- to its leading editorial the day be- fore. Such things will happen. We'll - wager the proofreader body had a bad - half hour after the editor had glanc- ed over that finished paper. The word purchased was twice substitut- ed for the word produced. But per- haps the editor is a poor penman and - does. not use a typewriter. • 4 What seems to be urgently needed in- Clinton at the present time is some public-spirited citizen to came - forward and offer a substantial sum • to assist in erecting a much-needed addition to the Public Hospital " Funds have been he hand for an ele- vator for some time but this accom- modation cannot be installed until' an addition is built as there is to • room for it. • Such a donation would be acceptable from anyone, of course, in Clinton -or elsewhere. A glance at the report in another column iof this .raper will show that the majority of 'those treated come from outside the ` town. ♦ • o We have had the strangest winter in the memory of anybody now liv- ing, scarcely enough snow to cover 'the ground at''oae time, and hardily e • twenty-four hours of consecutive frost all' winter. December, January, ' February, when usually •our severest 'winter weather is experienced, were 'for the most part like days in late March, fine, mild and often sunny, • and we had almost begun to imagine ' that we were not going to have any • real winter. when the week -end storm arrived. Saturday was mild, • seemed nhildereven as the evening - wore on, but during the night some -snow, fell and Sunday was cold and 'stormy, with Monday growing colder - and a rising wind, AII. night the • 'wind howled and we were treated to • some ;below zero weather. Tuesday i bad not changed, the wind being ciild and blustery, nor does there seem to be .much sign of a change so. ''far. It is ' certainly the sev- erest weather we have experienced • ;his winter. s r n n 2:A., 'certain ±;yell -known Ottawa pol- itician once said that the only way for a Government to peep popular was "to dash away and spend the money."London Free Press. This seems to be the belief all pol- iticians have firmly fixed in their minds alid all act upon.. There must be some'truth in it. Indeed, we be- lieve that there is a good deal of truth, or it might not have become so deeply rooted in the minds of the politicians. Nearly every district wants `,Something, from the Govern- ment" and, naturally,'the local repre- sentative wants to get it for his dis- trict, knowing that by such means lie can gain influence and win votes. And so it goes on in all districts, each local representative "doing his best" for his own district. What is very often not taken into considera- tion is the fact that Governments have no money only what -is supplied, them by the people. This fact is beginning to he taken into account, however, with mount- ing taxation, and about the only po- pular move made by a government today is a movement to reduce ex, pendituree, And this is a movement which will have to be more and more iset'iously considered. Goviernment coats Canadians too much. We bave too many governments too many gov- ernors, too many members of parlia- ment, too ninny overseers, inspectors; too many people altogether living off the public purse. There was some talk a while ago about a move , to bring the three Prairie provinces under one govern- ment. If that could be done surely the three eastern provinces knight be as well served by one central govern- ment. Probably one member of par- liament from each county in Ontario could represent the people 'in par- liament just as well as two, Huron county used to have three, and prob- ably the cities could do with half their representatives. If a real ef- fort to economize were made..Canada might be saved millions of dollars over and above what could be pro- duced by the employees who would be set free to engage in productive labor instead of being paid salaries from public funds. , But, there is always, a but, just now we seem to have more people looking for jobs than we have places to put them. E In a time sof prosperity mounting taxes do not seem to be noticed and in times of depression there seems to be little that' can be done about them, except lop off a little here and there, which will go on again as soon as the times improve. • Alf.—Why do you suppose Bert- ram takes only one flower a day to Helen ?

He came here from Walton, where be had carried on the same business for about ten years before that. He was a quiet man and was well liked and esteemed by all with whom he came in contact.
