He charges the "bigger theatres" with breaking faith in respect to giving the public the full benefit of the admission 'tax abolishment and also declares "com- plaints have been comingin front all over the province" about the tax free condition of amusements. He .stated that the smaller theatres had kept faith and it was his intention to accord them special consideration when the government considered its pianfay a new amusement tax. :Hepburn did not intimate whether the foreshadowed tax would be col- lected direct by -each municipality or by the government itself. In the last year the tax was in force in On- tario, the levy amounted to two mil- lion dollars. It may be that The government will provide for dries and towns to collect the anticipated 'tax, as the Premier has stated of late his desire to relieve municipalit- ies of their tax burdens. Dogs or Wolf Hunter's Puzzled iliac with their destructive methods, I are unable to tell the difference, if 'tthere is any and are of the opinion hey should be included with the 'most ferocious of wolves. That there should be a bounty on all such dan- gerous animals, as a precautionary measure, is believed by a large num- ber of the citizens. If they are allow- , ed to multiply and no indication is given for their destrnction,,the saf- ety of human beings 'will be the next vital question with which the -auth- orities may be celled upon to con- tend. Blue Water Paving - Completion of paving of the Blue Water highway is to be strongly urged upon the Ontario. Government at an early date, it was stated. by Mayor MacEawan of Goclerich at the regular meeting of Town Council. His worship said' that a meeting of the Blue Water Association had been called for October 12 to discuss the campaign. "This road is in desperate condi- Iron. At one tiine one could count 3,200 cars a day passing over this highway. Today, you can almost count them on your hands," said Councillor Harry Salkeld, Who urged a house-to-house canvass for the signing of petitions in all municipal - ries along the route.

A fewv weeks ago, Mr. Gordon, 'Stanley and Mr. Harvey Scott shot "You could not expect any Govern- ment to pave more than 40 miles of one 'highway in one year, as was done this year between Kincardine two of these marauders, the pelts and Port Elgin," observed 'Reeve KV which were seen by many resid- Turner. ents 02 the village, who had view- ed iew John.T, Graham' After being in failing health for the past two ,'years, John Thomas Graham passed away at his home on Saturday, October 8th. at the age of 74 years and six days. Mr. Graham was one of the best known farmers in Stanley township where he farmed on the second con- cession on the farm now owned by George Baird, up tmtil three years ago when he retired ani' moved to Clinton. He was a man of upright character and of a kindly and quiet disposition and while not disposed totake an active part in public af- fairs, was faithful to the church, be- ing for many years a member of the Presbyterian, later United Church at Brucefield. He was a Conservative in politics, Mr. Graham was born at Auburn and was a son of the late William Graham and Eliza Brown. In March, 1920, he married Elizabeth Dale who survives to mourn his passing, also two brothers, . Dr. Melvin Graham, Alberta; Goldie Graham, Stanley township, and one sister, Mrs. James Broadfoot .Seaforth. The funeral service was held at the residence, Rattenbury street an Tuesday afternoon and was conduct ed by Rev. G. G. Burton assisted by Rev. W. A. Bremner, Seaforth; form- erly pastor of Brucefield church. The pallbearers were all neighbours from Brucefieldi Joseph McCully, George Baird, Harvey .Taylor, John Mc- Cowan, Arthur, Caldwell rand John McEwen. The floral tributes were borne by nephews, William, Jack and Melvin Graham, James Broadfoot, Archibald, Keith and Elgin Dale, In- terment took place in Clinton cem- etery. ed similar ones prior to this, which were called wolves. They were lat- er sent down to government offices en Toronto. The reply received a -few days ago states they are : wild .dogs. This is a new branch of the canine family, apparently unknown .to local hunters, and they have cer- tainly proven a menace to the farm - sere, particularly in Kinloss township where they have destroyed a consid-' ,•erable number of valuable animals.' When the government bounty was placed on wolves, this variety must ',have''also been unknown for no men - Ilion of them is made in the laws'! sof, the ,country.

Since 1875 that official has been selected by open vote, with council members declaring their sup- port for . the candidate of their choice.

There will be many townspeople who want to know what life on the land and on the farm is like who can find in Sir Daniel's book just the information they re- quire. For instance, in his chapter on wheat he writes:— "There has always been a dispute as to whether the stone -ground flour or the white flour is the better food, whether one ought to eat white bread or brown bread. Now modern science has discovered that certain valuable constituents of food called vitaminsarepresent in the husk and germ but not in white flour. "People are -apt to get rattier ex- cited about this question of white or brown bread, more positive per- haps than the science of the matter should allow. But as in so many of these cases there na no single an- swer. Ito is probable that brown breead containing a certain amount a the husk is better for children or grown-up teen and women who lead quiet lives no towns without much exercise, but men doing hard work can get better value out of white bread'" • "Though the germ is so highly nutritious it cannot be left in the floor because it contains certain fats which make the flour keep badly and other substances which tend to make the bread soft and sad." Mother Nature vs. Time When there •are thunderstorm's, watch repairers can expect a boom in business the following day, chief- ly in the number of broken main- springs, says a watch repairer who has spent thirty-five years in the business. • Several Swiss professors are mak- ing a special study of the problem. They think the atmospheric changes caused by the thunder and lightning affect the molecules of the main- spring. The ehief trouble iht summer is damage from sand, or being .suTt- tnerged in water by a forgetful own - Women break most watch crystals, says this watch expert. Motorists break their watches oftener than the man who does not drive a car: The inost mystified victim of a broken watchspring, however, is the man who puts it on the chair beside his bed in Winter, raises the window and jumps into bed not knowing that rapid cooling of a room ruins many watches. The balance wheel of the average watch runs. twenty times as far as the average automobile in the sane time. Other statistics reveal that the bal- ance wheel of a watch snakes 500,000 swings every tWenty-four hours; • the rim of the wheel travels twenty- three miles a .day; a watch runs 8,700 hours a year, and the balance wheel beats the stupendous number of 150,000,000 times in that period. tAYFIELD Mr. and Mrs. Everett Robbins, and Mr. and Mrs: Claude Robbins of De- troit were g'iiests of Mr. and Mrs. W.
