Those I dro people "heat Dutch." They have, the audacity to thinkthat their lighting system beats even the daylight. The • Bulletin, the organ of the Hydro Electric Com- mission, for January' has a couplef illustrations of slips of plants, started the stints time, ore groc.',i in the 'snn- light and the other by electricity,: the the' latter having made about twice the growth of the first in two months' time.4 And the other day Supt: Clan called t Chant ca d o n attention"to the won- derful growthmade by the geraniums in the windows of 'the Hydro Shop since leaving them in strong electric light. 'The warmth of the window when the light is on may account'" for a good deal of this growth but we do not believe that any kind of light' or warmth ever made is superior to, that of the sun for growing things, veget- able'or animal. The advantage of electricity is that you have it, on tap and may turn it on and keep it onus -long, as -you please. Its light and - warmth in winter, when the sun it not so strong, go dotibt "lengthens the. day" for plants. AN UNTIMELY SEIZURE Mr. Wellington Crich son of '11Ir. and Mrs. Lewis Crich of Tuekersmith was stricken with appendicitis on Sunday and the doctor who was call= ed said an operation .was necessary, The operation could not be performed at home" owing toe the -illness ofhis another and the hospital being upset on account of moving into the new ' building, it was found necessary to bring him to the home of his sister, Mrs. J. W..Manning of town. The operation was performed and at last reports the patient is doing excellent. y well. Sunday was a bad day to have appendicitis, especially for any- one living in the country, six hours hard work being put ari on the roads between here and the Crich honee stead in ;Cuelcersmith ;before they were patsa'ble for a• team.

M ETING The council met on Monday even- ing to wind up the affairs of the yeas and leave' the decks clear for the new oouneil: Only routine business was attend- ed to, accounts passed etc. Some discussion took, place as to the desirability of holding the election earlier, or anyway, at ' some other date than at the holiday season, and the following motion, presented by Councillor Paisley and seconded by Councillor Middleton, was carried: "That the mayor; and clerk be auth- orized to suggest to the Ontario Go- vernnieut'that 'th8 ,intanicipal mm�ina�. tions be held annually on the day fol- lowing that on which. New Year's is celebrated and the elections held on the same day the following week."

Many of these -new voters, for the most part women, took advantage= of their priY- ilege and cast their first vote. Fortunatelythe storm which raged on Sunday had calmed down and the day was mild and pleasant and the sleighing good. 'Fred Jackson proved' that, unlike Tommy Chureh of Toronto, he has a Strong "Come -back"-- when he Soiled up a majority of one hunched and fifty-one over 11;3. Millerfor mayor. 'Mr, Jackson served in the eouncil itt 1911 and was mayor in 1913-14, so he is no novice at the game, although he has not taken much interest in public affairs for some years. He is strongly opposed to canvassing and. thinks a man who is not enough .line terested in public affairs to go into the polling booth on -election ° day an mark his ballot for the candi- dates he Savors for public office is a very poor ei±izen, indeed. ,R. J. M±ller who has served in the council' for the past nine years, four as reeve, has'spent much time attend- ing to public affssirs and has always had, the welfare of the, town at heart. He thought £he 'people might elect him to the chief position this tern;, but they went back to their "old love" Mr. Jackson: "Charlie" Middleton made a 5004 run for reeve, too, hovmg the largest majority of any car' "date, being 245 ahead of .Bert Lang -And. Mr. Lang'_ ford made up his mind almost at the last minute to run but he.hed been out of the council for some years and'Mr. Middleton had been a :nteniber of last year's council. The people did not seem to mind [being represented at county council by it. Goderieh town- ship man: Clinton voters seem to be ready to tale a chance, anyway. ;W, Jenkins, a new man in the civic political field, although, for several years a highly esteemed citizen, headed the polls for councillor on Monday, romping in over forty votes ahead of the next highest.
