F, SNOWDON, Proprietor. 1111 General Observations Canada needs strict economy in Y er y branch of government and • greater production for export in every• industry. ** The electric current in 'Western Ontario, during the end of the past week was something like' the China - man's description of a flea: "Him a little thing, You catch him, he not there." *as: Blyth .Tgricultural Society voted at their annual 'fleeting to devote• the money* spent on horse racestoassist- iug-school fairs as a better attraction, This is something for others to con- sider. "'Tis an iii -wind that blows no body any good:" The icy condition of the streets allowed the newsboys to delis. er their papers on skates during the past few day,. (hrtariu justice is becoming a very peculiar thing to the ordinary man. The administration is becoming cen- tralized to one place in the county and witnesses are taken miles away to these places, instead of magistrates holding court on the spot, Take the lamentable case• of the shooting at Kincardine.' Twice a preliminary trial has been called and adjourned at Walkerton. thirty miles away, en- tailing unnecessary expense. Former- ly a case like this would be handled -u the spot at Kincardine, where the witnesses live and the expenses would he very little. Besides, a magistrate on the snot is in a better position to judge the merits of the case. • GENERAL OBSERVATIONS By TT r, H. T. 1. to inti is at a depth of about forty feet. This done, :the damaged pipe) could be removed and replaced by good pipe, It may be objected that the ground has been so damaged by the blasting done by the contractor that it would cave in, but surely greater tngineerieg difficulties than this have been overcome. All thiswould mean expenditure of money, but it would be an "expenditure to save from utter_ lass the expenditure that has already been made. It may be, however,that this sec- ond well will not be needed, or that it would not help out much if it ware needed. Millis Chipman, ,the somewhat not- ed engineer of Toronto, in. giving ad- vice as to drilling some artesian wells, salcd rsometb..ing to this effect: If you drill one well and get -water, but net enough, do not think you will get double the quantity by drilling an,. other well. The reasoning that if one well yields a certain quantity, two wells will yield twice that quantity,. does not apply here. The two wells tap the same .supply, and they can- not give more ,than that supply will furnish." So there you are. and this is enough for this time. visitors here last week, dss Margaret Howard is' home again after visiting friends in Brant- ford.

The Cath- otic Women's League have clone con- siderable charitable work since their nauguration in May, 1921. At a meeting of the Attar Society Mrs. William Jordan was re-elected uresident for the fifth year. Mrs. N. Mays Was elected secretary treasurer, Dr, and Mrs. Simpkins have re- turned from Welland, where they, were called to the bedside of. Mr. George Blackwell, father , of Mrs, Simpkins. Mr, Blackwell had been ailing for sometime and his demise on Wednesday was a sad blow to his widow and to 'itis daughter, Mrs.. Sitnpkins. and his song George Black- well. Pernicious anemia was the cause of his early demise, being only forty- six years of age. Last summer he visited here for conte time and made many friends as he was a fine type of ,t'entleinan,. His funeral took slave nn Friday last. 71r. and Mrs, Dan DeCourey, of Logan, were visitors at the home of lir. and Peter DeCourcy. TTuran Road, west of the village, last week Mr. Thomas DeCourcy, of the llth concession, Logan. is disposing if itis fine farm owing to ill -health. His farm has very fine building:. The house is one of the most modern in the township of Logan. The. Misses McDaid we^e in Mil - shell on Saturday. Perhaps the most husy place in Seaforth just now is the area at the hack of the town hall where the new pumping station is being hurried to completion. The work in the pump house and in the dwelling house is carried on with little noise; but not so the work on the high tank. We may say of the high tank that it re- sembles Solomon's temple in that its parts were prepared for their respect ive places miles and miles away, while it differs from Solomon's temple in that mach hammering and riveting are needed to work those parts into it, structure, whereas in the erection of the aforesaid temple, no sound of hammer or other tool was heard. By the way, Solomon is the gentleman who declared about three thousand years ago that there is no new thing under, the sun. What would he say at the sight of some of the modern dis- coveries and inventions It would be a gpod idea to have Sir Conan Doyle call hint up. The men have certainly worked welt on the high tank during the cold weather. Sometimes. when the tetn- perature was ,close to zero, the merry rat -tat of the pneumatic riveter, like the roll of a drum, could be heard all over town. Few of us envied the tank Wren their job even though they were up in the world. One wonders that a job of this 'kind is left for tnid winter. But thanks to the perseverance of these men. under trying conditions,. the tank will soon` be finished, and a very important nart of the water works equipment it will be. We are subject to correction, but we believe • ,i-ts,._dimenstons are as follows Height to top of legs, 70 feet; from this point to top of tank. 20.feet, staking a total height of 90 feet; diameter of tank, 222 feet. with a hemispherical bottom, which is very Macri better than a flat bottom. The capacity of the tank is nearly 65 thousand imperial gallons. and the 90 feet of elevation will give a neessure of nearly 39 lbs. per square nch; Shakespeare say; "the course of true love never did run smooth,' and like in the course of true love, there has been •a little want of smoothness in the waterworks operations al the hack of the town hall. We refer to the well at which Mr. 'Hopper is work- ing. 'We may be sore that 11 the authorities had ween the tr utble ahead they would not, have paid off the man who drilled it, and allowed biro to depart in peace, and eertainly the little brick building would not have been erected over it. While Mr. Hopper is working like a Trojan to make the well all right, we fear his efforts will he'futile: Per - traps the heal: expert advice in this case would be to dig a well say 5 feet to diameter around the pipe down to where the trouble is, which we utider- CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signatureof LETTER FROM DULUTH. The weather had not Leen cold for :,nye time, but a severe dip commenc- :d Thursday evening and yesterday morning at 7 a,m. it registered some `lateen below zero. As a rule it can best he termed a continued severe cold winter to date, as there has been a number of mild spells, and the same helps to make the coal and wood bills lighter. Still, the seeing of real rob - ns. supposed harbingers of an early I riu_S, will not down. :T Mr. Ander- son requests anyskeptic to call at t Lincoln Park, this city, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.. any day, and see a flock of the genuine robins between itl and 40 in number. Timber Wolves Visit City. ' Another visitor. hut of the unwel- come kind, has shown up several times recently in the city. or the city limits, the timber wolf, One was run down -11 the hay Inc by an auto. crippled, then dispatched. At night thne. an- other on a road nearby the city, was run over hy an auto, but was soon dispatched by a hammer after snarl - ng and trying to bite the driver, The latter claimed it was a royal . race for a time --first the auto gaining, then the wolf. The auto lights seemed to cnnftfsc the animal and it kept Tun- ing on the road instead of taking to the woods. A few nights ago a lone wolf prowl- ed around the Lakeside telephone branch office of this city, which is in charge of the female night operator. She thought at first it was a dog clawing and howling outside. The night telephone operator at Police headquarters was sent out to investi- gate. When he turned the flash light on the supposed dog, a wolf bounded away in the direction of the woods. Coon Hunting in Huron.
