Clinton Mill Operated for Nearly 90 Years— John Schoenhals, veteran flour mill- er and for the past 26 years proprie- tor of the Clinton mill, is retiring from business after 50 years milling experience. as apprentice, -journey- man, miller and proprietor. He start- ed as an apprentice with Pfeffer Bros. of Milverton, was later employed in a mill at Atwood and in 11396 acquired the 'Port Albert mill which he oper- ated for ]i6 years before purchasing the Clinton mill, at that time known as Fair's mill. Though not an aged man, Mr. Schoenhals is of heavy build and a weakened heart makes climbing the stairways in a .five -story' building a difficult and dangerous matter. and that is the reason for his retirement. Built in the early fifties by the late Samuel H. Rance, father of Col. H. T. Rance, Division Court Clerk, and Thomas 'Rance, the mill has for nearly ninety years ground wheat into bread flour. For the first quarter century it was a combined flour mill and distillery and there are a few residents who can recollect see- ing the big whiskey vats and a barrel with whiskey always on top where farmers bringing wheat and barley tt• the mill might help themselves. For many years there was also a saw mir in connection with the industry and an incident that is related in connec- tion with it was the bursting of the 1' --grit diameter fly wheel of the en - e ine. It happened one winter morning erten the engineer turned on the pow- er to start the wheels turning. The g *vernor belt slipped off the frosted en:ley and allowed the engine to run w ild The wheel flew into pieces and t large section was thrown through the rail: roof. The mill was long known a. lair's Mils. The late James Fair Sr. became owner many years ago and gras succeeded by his two sons. James and Norman. Head mill- er, who served under the elder Fair and later under the younger men are J. P. Sheppard, now retired, and Har- ry Hunt. The small flour mill is be- coming a forgotten industry. the big :pills crowding them out or absorbing them. The Fair mill at one time had a capacity of 300barrels of flour per day. CARE OF THE BY -ROADS In days gone by people regarded the highways as a sort of 'No Man's Land." They ptished their fence, out and stole part of the land that belong- ed to the municipality. That was no- also', business: the road belonged nobody. + i according to their way of thinking. They pastured their cows un the grass that grew at the road- side. '\Who cared? Nobody. The road belonged to everybody. Any one could ,,ick up the apples from roadside trees.'Nobody could order une off the road. There :eur•ires in places something ..f the old contempt for the roads. Here and there some unthinking per- son carts out a load of rubbish and Brows it beside the road. Usually this occur, along a byway of unimproved road. and this fact reveals that the people have not arrived at the proper appreciation of the highest value of the roads to their community. Those by -roads and country lanes are soon to become one 'of the coun- try's finest assets. More and more the tourist will leave the big straight ce- ment highways and find enjoyment in ;he countryside. Country' 'people are earning not to scorn the tourists, and .,part from the consideration of mak- their own homesites and their irotas pleasant. is the incentive to i-enare their district to bid for the fi able tourist traffic.

M. J. HABKIRK Manager RODGERVILLE (By W. H. Johnston in the London Free 'Press.) In the days of the pioneer some vil- lages started out under such favor- able circumstances that citizens fare - saw large and prosperous towns in the not distant future. Unexpected events, however, blast- ed their hopes, and people moved on to newer and more fortunate centres. Such was the fate of the almost for- gotten village of 'Rodgerille, Situated about four miles north of Exeter. on the London road, it grew rapidly. One of the earliest citizens was Mahew• Rodger, who opened a brick yard and built a large double house. One side was occupied as a store and the other as a hotel. As a merchant. he was a remark- able success, for, as crops in this fer- tile territory produced abundantly, there was plenty of grain and dressed hogs to exchange for store. moods Rodger storehouses were soon fin- ed ed to capacity. and he branched out into teantrn:2 to Lateen. and when the Bnffato & Lake Huron Railroad wa opened ,for train_ in1358. he sent his produce to Seaforth. Among his team- sters was one who became famous or important locally. Archie Bishop. who later settled down to farming in U'sborne, and who the electors of South Huron were pleased to send as their representative to the Legislative Assem'hly. Mr. Rodger's success and the needs of the people spelled opportunity for others, and the village grew apace. Business men flocked to the village Ind various shops were opened and did a good :business. The first settlers had come in 1036, but the .business boom was not until several years later. As Hay post office was only two mi:es away, it was not until 13518 that a post' office wag. established in Rod- nerilio. and named after its founder, Matthew Roder, who died in the ia;tee.:A fall fair was established and ran for some years. The three Grey brothers -launched out in another direction. Besides run. ning their blacksmith anti wagon .shops, they turned out -the Grey blows that for many years were the particu- lar choice of aspirant; for honors at plowing matches. Although fitted with a wooden beam and handles, the plow was so well trade and designed that it was especially prized for turning sod as well as for its wearing qualities: The leading brother Was John. and he was a popular lay preacher and temperance advocate. For many years he held forth in all pulpits that were opened to him. which was practically every one. Encouraged by his success, he became an ordained minister in the Baptist denomination. and was a suc- cessful pastor. _Alter his leaving the firm, his brothers ceased to build the plow. and it passed out of existence. trust as everything seemed rosy for Rodgerville, the London, Huron & Bruce Railway was built, and opened in 1076. According to the agreement with Hay Township, a station was to be ,built on the ,Zurich road at Hen - sail. This spelled the doom of Rodger - Neer stores were built in Hens sail and opened. Mr.:C•latisin moved his harness se sp follow- ed. there. Others follo- ed. and in a few years all 'business houses were closed and most of the b.ii:dingy pulled down. The original joint ,tune and hotel bufit by Matth- ea' sR+d,xer ie still standing, and three .'ther small residences are in exlct- ence an reminders of the once lively and prosperous village of-Rodgerville. • Fertilizer Recommendations An Ontario 'Department of Agricul- ture publication, 'Fertilizer Recom- mendations" looked upon by many progressive farmers as the most vale - able of all booklets published by the Department from year to year, is jus` off .the press for 119138 and ready for distribution free to every farmer.
