CLINTON residents of Tuckelrsmith township, Mr. Townsend had been in failing health and had only partially recov- ered from a severe attack of influen- za suffered about two years ago, He was in his 68th year, $e had, resided in Tuckersmith all his life with the exception of three years residence in Clinton and a short time in Exeter. A. son of the late Mary Jane Ashton and William Townsend, he was of English parent- age and was born on the Townsend homestead on the 2nd concession of Tuckersmith. Three sisters and two brothers of the family of eight have predeceased him. " In 1894 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Crich. .After farming successfully since then they moved a' short time ago to live with their daughter, Mrs" Frank Walters. Mr. Townsend enjoyed doing odd •jobs and it was while he was ' working in the drive shed there that he was suddenly stricken. Mr. Townsend was a man of many interests, especially those pertaining to the welfare of the community in which he lived. It can be truthfully said that he had many friends, but no enemies. Fol- many years he was choir leader at Turner's church where he was always a faithful member and attendant. Besides his wife he leaves to mourn his passing one daughter Mrs. Frank Walters; two sons, Elmer, Tucker - smith, and Raymond, on the home farm; two brothers, Joseph, Breeden, Manitoba, and William of Macklin, Saskatchewan, and six grandchildren, . µ The funeral service will be held at the residence of his daughter, • Mrs, Frank Walters, 2nd concession, this ,afternoon. Rev. Andrew Lane will conduct the ,service and will be assisted by Mr, (C. S. Hawke. The pallbearers will be Joseph Crich, Sam Townsend, Grealy Wankel, Melward Lloyd, FIet- cher Townsend and Frank Layton. Injured in Car Accident at :Kippen Howard Walters and Bruce Arm- strong, Tuckersmith, and Sean Love andBlanche Watson, Kippen, Were injured in a car accident which oc- curred near Kippen early Monday Morning when the car driven by Walters crashed head-on into a ditch. at a blind end, of a township road, Walters and Miss Love who were siding in the front seat received the Most serious injuries, the former be- ing cut about the face and nose, the, latter losing• eleven teeth and suffer- ing bad facial cuts when thrown against the windshield. The other couple were badly • shaken up when thrown forward. It is thought that the driver mis- judged his distance when approachig the blind end of the road, not realiz- ing he was so close until his lights revealed the fence ahead. The car was badly damaged. Geo. IL Coleman Passes Tho' death of Mr. George Henry Coleman, highly respected resident cf the fifth concession, Tuckersmith, occurred early Wednesday 'morning, July 20, after an extended illness Since the first of the year. Boon in Stanley township, south of Bayfield on the Sauble lines now the Blue Water Iiiglnvtty, he obscirved his 73rd birthday in April of this year. He was a son of the late Rob- ert .Coleman and Margaret Quail, When he was ten years old the. family moved to the farm on the fifth concession. of Tuckersmith which has been his home eves sine. He was united in marriage to Miss Alice Watson, daughter of the late Robt. Watson of Brucefield, who now survives him. A brother and two sisters also survive: Robert ` Cole- man, of Hibbert; Mrs. Thomas Wor- den, . Cromarty, and Mrs. Janes Rouatt of Moosejaw, Sask.; also by nieces and nephews.

A' few days ago the Toronto Globe and Mail had a flaring caption on RS' front page in the above words. Ina letter to the editor of that pap- er, R. J. Deachman gives a striking answer to the question: "How far can taxation go"? The answer is, any distance—there is no limit as long as taxation is indirect. Speed may be retarded by criticism. Indifference may accelerate the pace, but ,we will go faster and faster un- til the remedy is applied. The remedy, of course, is direct taxation. You can do anything you choose to do, provided you can pre- vent the public from knowing what you are doing. We take, roughly, $140,000,000 from the nubile by sales tax, but there was more criticism on raising the radio fee, which may take half a million, more or Less, than there was of all taxes levied by the Government in the Dominion of Canada since 1930; and that, by the way, has been a period of fairly high taxation. Speaking of the radio tax, one man said to nue one day: "Why not add another cent to the sugar tax and use that for the radio? It would take $10,000,000 or $11,000,000, but no one would miss it" Cynical thought, but thus it goes! Precisely the same situation exists in regard to other matters. Sup- posing you suggested cutting the salaries of the civil servants or the railwaymen or the printers by five per cent? At once we would face n nation in arms, or at least, we would be met by violent protests. But the cost of living might stove up 20 per cent without attracting particular attention until the thermometer of the price index brought the facts to notice. One thing could bo done, small though it may be. The Provincial Governments could in their annual statements, Jet us know the cost of government. I have before rte, as I write, a blue ,book giving the linen- cial statistics of Provincial 'Govern- ments in Canada, but it is as comp- licated as. the Spanish war. We will never know what we ought to do un- til we know what we have done, and few, very few, -of us" know. —Dominion, Ridgctown. Warn People Against Oriental. Rug Racket Dealers Expected to Try Then Hand in Cities Throughout Ontario Fake Oriental rug racketeers oper- ating in Tor onto, whose profitable careers have been checked by coop- eration of Toronto newspapers and officials cif the Toronto Better Busi- ness Bureau, are expected to attempt new high pressuresales methods in other Ontario centres. Using misleading advertisements and unideni:iijlable telephonle numb- ers, the Toronto group offered so- called genuine Oriental rugs, indicat- ing that would-be .buyers were deal- ing with home -owners "going south" "leaving' town" or "sellitng out." Better Business Bureau investigat- ors discovered that the exceptionally low prices quoted were merely "bait" and that the "bait" itself had invar- iably been sold, inferior rugs being offered the -victim under the guise of high quality merchandise. One victim bought a so-called "genuine inlaid broadloom" only to find it an inferior jute rug of little value. First asked $78.00 for the rug, the victim's suspicions were still not awakened when :he 'i'succeeded" Tan beating down the price, to $20.00. He was still the loser. Bureau officials urge that Ontario rug buyers . deal ` only with stores of established reputation, if this fraud is to be eliminated. —FREE ADVERTISING— From time to time it falls to our unhappy lot to again mention the fact that it is -impossible for us to •carry free advertising in this paper. As everyone knows, whether the paper be a large metropolitan daily or a small country weekly, its one source of revenue is obtainable from advertising. Much as one would like to work with others in this re- gard it is unfair tp expect that a publisher relinquish his one way of deriving income from a newspaper while he lends his influence, as fat as possib' i, to all good movements in his community. After all, when a request is trade to insert free ad- vertising concerning an event to take place in the near future, the organization sponsoring the same, in most instances derives a monetary benefit, If those wishing to adver- tise, free or otherwise, wouldjust think the matter overs they would find that the small amount of money spent on advertising a coming event copes back to them over and oval again. If fifty cents is spent in ad vertising a coming event for which the price of admission is 25 cents the advertisement needs to draw only two more people to cover the expense. If one were to get down to actual figures the advertisemen certainly has drawing power out of all proportion to the charge made A little investment yields really big returns and yet people continue to request that publishers insert free notices of coning events. That is some of them. Others see the .sense of our argument. Publishers really must live, just as other folks do an< they all want other folks to do the same. All anyone wants is fair play Newspapers just cannot exist if they cut flown their revenues by giving free advertising. --Mitchell Advocate, Who Pays Minister Provocative Question Who is paying the minister and helping to keep up. the church? The Cranbrook Courier, B. C. asks this question- and then follows it with a soliloquy provocative of thought. I are sure I don't know. I haven't contributed a dollar to the church this year. It is all I can do to feed and clothe my family and keep up my insurance and pay my club and lodge dues and do my part in little social entertainments, and buy gas to run my car. I have to pay for haircuts, shaves, shines, permanent waves, shampoos, and face-lifting. These fellows won't work unless they get the money: I have to pay my doctor and my dentist or they will balk on ane. I a•% glad I don't have to pay the minister. IIe goes right on preaching twice on Sunday and looking after our souls during' the week. If you die, he will bury you and brag about you at ths funeral without any fee. But the un- dertaker has to be Haid promptly: I have to keep a Iittle money on halm for an emergency: like that. I love my minister, and I .love my church, and if I had anything left over 'after providing, for the above necessary things, I would give a little to help support the minister and the church. I know the minister is willing to baptise my children, marry them, and vitit ii the home in the hour of sickness and distress. but I shall have to let the fellow with ,more money pay. him. Some folks think that if you don't help keep up the church you can't prosper. But that is not what is the matter with me, that I am broke. I went to church on Sunday and drop ped a dime in the plate, but it didn't help, for .I didn't make any more money than usual that week.' I would not mind giving a lot to the' church if I knew I would Piet it back (as some say' I will), but 1 ern not willing to 'risk more than a' stay out of court Over small ac - dime on that kind of a gamble. counts, =-•Kincardine News Justice Comes High Recently in police court here a man was convicted of theft of a saw He took it, he said, because he was owed money. Rightly the magistrate pointed out that civil courts are an avenue for collection of debts, to which the accused replied that to try. to collect the . comparatively small sum would cost him more than he would get. From observing the working of Ontario's civil courts, there would appear to be more than an element of truth in the statemelnt. When one pauses to reflect on the involved procedure and amount of red tape which ,must be entangled before a settlement is reached, the folly of go- ing to court to collect a small ,sum is puite evident. Justice, in this in- stance, colnes high: . ' In some United States centres there is a court devoid of all legal trappings, where a presiding just- ice ustice bears both sides of the story and in a few .minutes hands clown a de- cision, usually satisfactory to both parties. Here we have seen cases set for division court go from postponement to postponement till it would appear they would never be settled. Finally, after a settlement is reached and costs of legal counsel; (for to at- tempt tosettle a case without such advice results in decided difficulties even for the plaintiffs), along with costs of .witness fees and serving; summonses, usually saddled on the already overburdened debtor are ar- ranged, there is little• left for the so-called successful plaintfiff and when a decision is handed down that the amount be paid in trialing sums over a long period, then he knows to his sorrow that costs of justice do come high.

Cow Defends Offspring From Wolves From Holyroocl comes a story of depredations of a pack of wolves among livestock in that district. The pack was sighted by two ;nen while endeavouring to catch a two day old calf on the grass farm of Reeve Richard Elliott of IKinloss township; While seeking the calf they heard animals barking and believed them to be dogs in quest of sheep. When they came to the field they found the cow trying to protect her off- spring from the pack which was gradually closing in on the defence- less calf, despite the efforts of the mother to drive them away. The wolves were quickly put to route, though the men had no firearms.
