Mr. and Mrs. Will Pluntsteel and family returned Monday evening from Oxbow, Sask., where they spent several months and will remain here until• next spring, and maybe per- manently. Mr. Plumsteel is again actively engaged in the drygoods business and the old 'customers of the firm are pleased to see his smil- ing countenance behind the counter once again. Rev. J. A. Hanlon, P.P., and Mess- rs. James and Andrew. Flynn, H. Hill, T. McKenzie, John Shanahan and Mr. and Mrs. D.

Johns, who for the past couple of years has been principal, of the Auburn school, left on Saturday last for Rockwood where he has accepted a similar posi- tion.... He is a young man of fine character, has taken a lively inter- est in church, Sunday school, League and Y. M. C.

Davis and H. Brunt. On Saturday evening last Mr. T. Jackson, Jr., returned from another fast trip across the continent in the interests of the Jackson M#g, Co. He was absent just thirty days and vis- ited several cities and towns. From The New Era, Oct. 3th, 1909: The first shipment of hydrants for the fire protection on the new water- works system arrived on Tuesday. .Richard and Mrs. Jennison of the London Road will move to town in the near future. Their daughters, Misses Edith and Pheobe, who have been dressmaking in London, will return and carry on the same busi- ness here. Miss May Rance has accepted a position on the staff of Moulton Lad., les' College, Toronto, as teacher of eleeution: WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING THE WRONG "POST" Some strange things are dropped into the letter box in The Pos)t's of- fice door, with the favorite item be- ing gum wrappers (they always re- move the gum first), and peanuts seem to run a close second, but a new one was perpetrated the other way when ,several letters were plac- ed therein. Examination showed that they were from a worker with a pay- ing aying gang working between here and Walkerton apparently an Italian, and were addressed to compatriots in Toronto. Naturally we took the let- ters up the street and deposited them in the proper letter -box. It • may seem contradictory but The Post of- fice is not the post office. —Hanover Post. china, old books, old furniture, old anything -and -everything, command a market, even in tines of depression. Here, again, there is great confus- ion in the minds of many, who .im- agine that the value of these things derives from theirage alone. That has much to do with it, but discrim- inating people never buy anything merely because it is old. Leaving historical associations out of the pie- ture, the value of antiques depends upon whether they are, first, more beautiful than their modern counter- parts; second, better made and more durable. The beauty may in part be due to age, and the durability and quality of the workmanship is often testified to by the fact that they have existed and been in use for a century or two. But when a common pine shoemak- er's bench, such as we used to see the village cobbler working at, sells. for the price of a grand piano, then I can only think that somebody has more money than taste. ;W'ingham. • Advance -Times. ?It%* TEN O'CLOCK CLOSING COMES INTO EFFECT AGAIN Earlier Saturday night closing in St. ' Marys during the past year has been an encouraging success. The public are just as well served as in the days . when many store -keepers were open until. midnight. Mer- chants, clerks and others now have a better chance for a night's rest and do not have to spend most of Sunday recuperating from a too strenuous Saturday. The town by-law dealing with Sat- urday night closing, calls far 11 pm, closing in the summer months and 10 p.m, during the told months be- ginning with October. This means that starting Saturday of next week the 10 p.m. period comes into force again foethe•next seven months. 'In anoher column of this issue the Retail Merchants of St. Marys re- mind the shopping public of the CHILDi'S FINGER BECOMES STUCK IN BOTTLE NECK A curious 'accident which fortune. ately did not have "serious results befell Merna Pym, four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ewart Pym, of Simcoe Street early on Mon- day. Merna was playing with anoth- er child when her eompanion thought it would be a good idea to see if 1Vlerna's finger would go into the neck of a bottle. It did,' but it wouldn't come outso easily. In'face after one of the neighbor's broke the bottle the neck still remained on the finger which by this time was swel- ling rapidly. Thoroughly alarmed the parents had the child taken to Dr. C. G. Fletcher who was success- ful removing the glass without having to break it. —.Exeter Times -Advocate.' !111 SII ANTIQUES The interest in ancient things does not end. With plays and hooks. There has grown up a great interest, in the past forty or fifty years, in the collection of what are generally classified as antiques, Old glass, old change in hour starting next week and cail for their co-operation; Stores' will close at 10 p.m. and the public will be better served if they attend to their shopping earlier in the even- . lrg. We feel sure that the merchants will have a hearty response from the public who, we firmly believe, are convinced of the reasonableness of the earlier closing and would not be averse to the stores closing at even an earlier hour. —St. Marys, Journal -Argus. DOGS HOWL WHILE OWNER SLUMBERS At an early hour Monday morning. only one person was asleep on John Street and he was the owner of two dogs who were rendering a vocal duet of about two hours' duration. About four o'clock somebody took e shot at the offending canines, slight- ly wounding one of them. Hearing the shottwo of the neighbors armed themselves with shot guns and carne out on the scene. After pounding in vain for some few minutes on the door of the owner of the dogs they finally succeeded in awakening 'him and informed him that dire catas- trophe awaited the offending animals if the noise did not stop. The dogs were taken indoors and peace reign- ed,. supreme on John street. —Exeter' Tires,Advocate. * 1 THOSE GUN LICENSES The season ,for the issuing of gun licenses has arrived, and naturally the question arises, "Should persona applying for a license be subjected to a test in competency to handle a gun, the same as an applicant for a permit to drive an automobile?" Writing on this subject, R. M. Har- rison, of the Border Cities Star, says: "The woods, with leaves changing from green to myriad tints of brown and gold" says an. ecstatic Ottawa correspondent, "provide a most scen- ic background of natural beauty. Moose, deer, caribou, bear, mountain sheep and goats are the animal actors in the annual pageant. They are supported by a east of millions of feathered vetebrates—birds to every- one but the ornithologist—partridges grouse, prairie chicken, ducks, and pheasants. The Canadian hunting season is about to open." "All very pretty, but right here and now would seem to be the time to wonder who's going to enjoy all this scenery and shoot all these fur, red and feathered vertebrates. Prob- ably, as usual, goofs who have no more knowledge or ability to carry and use firearms than they have to fly a blimp. "What we mean .is, if it's neces- sary eor ces.saryfor automobile drivers to pass a test, perfunctory as it may be, be. fore they're allowed to honk along the highways, shouldn't it be doubly necessary to subject applicants for game licenses to some examination, whereby their horse -sense, let alone their hunting skill, can be determin- ed? etermin-ed? "The present system is to nick the alleged sportsman for so many bucks for a scrap of paper, then turn him loose in the tall timbers, or the swamps to bang away. A 12-guage shot gun or a .803 rifle can be just as dangerous .in the hands of a rattle- brained member of society, as a ve- hicle propelled by an internal com- bustion engine." —4Ridgetown Dominion. the two dollars and, allowed the farm lad to, go. Later on these confidence l men were asked to leave the grounds by the fair management, but not be- fore they had "cleaned" the pockets of a feiv unsuspecting youths of the neighborhood. • •-St. Marys Journal -Argus.

A young farm lad was walking along lookingat the different hot dog and "three-for-a-nickle" booths when he was arrested by the vision of a hand- ful of bills in a stranger's fist.. The stranger was apparently in a jovial mood and made it known that he had just "cleaned -up" on one of the mid- way fakers down' the line. The farm boy with a couple of "bucks" in his jeans was interested in how the oth- er fellow had made such a killing and the stranger lost no time in 'urging him to "have a go" at the game. "You can't lose if you do as I tell you," said the stranger, "put down a buck to start with." As the youthful tiller of the soil approached the., booth piloted by the stranger he was handed a gold tie pin and was told ,to. take a free throw. He tipped the board:, with three little balls and a. lot of spikes •on it and won, but the rules of the game said that if lee tried twice more he would gain three times as much if he won. The farm lad paid out his two dollars, confident of winning at least seven dollars, but the little :balls rolled the wrong way. By this time the strange er was working harder than ever, "Stick on another dollar, you'll win this time sure. That is what I did," he confided in a whisper, : But the farmer lad had no more money and sensing that he had been led into a trap he demanded: his money back, alleging he had been "gypped." The argument 'went on. a crowd gathered and two more assistants carne to the aid of the shell game operator urg- ing others' to take a "chance" but the farmer lad still stuckto his demands —infact he made it so uncomfort- able for the racketeers, who could see that the crowd was becoming hos- tile, that they finally "[forked" back 1, DOMINION OF CANADA 1934 REWINDING LOAN The Minister of Finance offers for public subscription Two-year 2% Bonds, due 15th October, 1936 Issue price f98.90 and accrued interest,' yielding 2.67% to maturity.
