General Observations
Canada needs strict economy in
- every branch of government and
greater production for export in every
industry,.
*.*
The electric current ia 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 hint, he not
' there,"
**
Blyth Agricultural Society voted at
their annual meeting to devote- the
money spent on horse races to assist-
ing school fairs as a better attraction.
.This is something for others to con-
sider.

er their papers on skates during the
oast few day..

Ontario 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 thee,. 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
on the snot at Kincardine, where the
witnesses live and the expenses would
be very little. Besides, a magistrate
sei the spot is in a better position to
mine the merits of the case.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
fly W. T
tt
could he removed and replaced by
good .pipe. It may be objected that the
would has been so damaged by the
blasting done by the contractor that
it would cave in, but sttrely greater
engineering difficultiee than this have
been overcome, All this would mean
expeaditure of money, but it would
be aa expenditure to save from utter
loss the expeaditUre that has already
been made.
It may be, however, that this seca
ottd well will not be needed, or that
it would not help out much if it were
needed. •
Willis :Chipthan,' the somewhat not-
ed engineer of Toronto, in. giving ad -
nee as to drilling some artesian wells,
said sontettling to this effect: If you
drill one well and get water, but not
enough, do not think you will get
double the quantity by drilling ah -
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. •
. Perhaps the most busy- 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 iu 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-
semhles Solomon's temple in that its
parts were prepared for their respect
Inc 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
tinder the sun. What would he say at
the sight of some of the modern dis-
coveries and inventions it would be
a good idea to have Sir Conan Doyle
call him up.
The men have certainly worked
Well on the high tank during the cold
weather. Sometimes, when the tem-
perature was elose 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 men their job even though they
were up in the world. One wonders
that a lob of this kind is left for mid-
winter.
But thth
anks to e perseverance of
these men... under trying conditions,
the tank will soon be finished. and a
very important hart of the water
works equipment it will be. We are
subject to correction, but we believe
..its.dimensions are as follows: Height
to top of legs, 70 feet; from this point
to top of tank. 20 -feet making a total
height of 90 feet; diameter of tank.
222 feet, with a hemispherical bottom,
which is very much better than a flat
liottom. The capacity of the tank is
.nearly 65 thousand imperial gallons.
and the 90 feet of elevation will give a
oseaeure of nearly 39 lbs. per square
incIs.
Shakespeare says "the course of
time love never did run smooth," and
like in the course of time love, there
has been a little want of smoothness
itc the waterworks operations at the
back of the town hall. We refer to
the well at which Mr.:Hopper ie work-
ing. We may he sure that if the
authorities had seen tr.,ubje
ahead they would not have paid off
the man who drilled it, and allowed
him, to depart in peace, and certainly
the little brick building would not
have been erected over it,
• While Mr. Hopper is working like
Trojan to make the well all right,
we fear his efforts will be 'futile. Per-
haps the .best expert advice in this
case would he to dig a well say 5 feet
in diameter around the pipe down to
where the trouble is, which we under-

latter claimed it was a royal . race
for a time—first the auto gaining, then
the wolf. The auto lights seemed to
confuse the animal and it kept run-
ing on the road instead of taking to
the woods.
A few nights ago a lone wolf prowl-
ed around the Lakeside telephone

(barge 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.

FletcheVs Castoria is strictly a remedy for Infants and Children.
Foods are specially prepared- for babies. Albaby,s 'medicine
is even more essential for Baby. Remedies primarily prepared
for grown-ups are not interchangeable. It was the need of
a remedy for the common alit -heats of Infants and Children
that brought Castoria before the public after years of research,
and no claim has been made for it that its use for over .30
years has not proven. •
ht is CAST IA?
• Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant:- it contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor. other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverish:ness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
