The kiddies have deserted the side- ailes in favor of the pipes for the water mains, which have' been dis- tributed along the 'streets. Unlike water, the •youngsters seems to hallow the line of most resistance -and "barked" shins. * Mr. Drury stated two months ago that he was opposed to the Govern- trent paying for propaganda in. ad- vance of public opinion.

The public have not asked for them and apparently do not want them. most unseasonable weather, together with a shortage of reliable farm labor men, both in the northern part of this country and the Canadian northwest prevince5, and as a result a much less acreage of wheat will bp sown than originaily intended, and again late- sown wheat stands a danger of da- mage from early frosts, More land in this country than -first intended' will be sown to oats and corn. The farmer, for several seasbns, has been re- ceived badly pit by the low for his grain, hogs, cattle, sheep, wool and .other products, but when the same reaches the ultimate consumer in their various forms, main ufactured•and otherwise, only too of- ten an exorbitant price has to be paid, thanks in many Cases to unscrupulous middlemen. This bunch of grafters should be eliminated as far as possible so the farmer could receive more for his produce of all kinds and the ulti- mate consumer pay less, The King Government is steadily adding to the cost of living for the workingman. In their budget just brought down, sparkling wines tax is reduced from $3 to $1.50 per gal- lon and on light wines from 30 cents per gallon to 7f, cents. The tax or duty on silk goods is also reduced. 'Both are luxuries, but the sale tax which two years ago was 2/ per cent. is now raised to 6 per cent. This tax is paid by the poor man as well as by the rich. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS I By W. H. T. The chicks hatched out in an incu- bator take little interest in Mother's Day. It is too bad that in the sprung when there is, so much to do, that so many people are afflicted with that tired feeling, that lassitude, that in- disposition to exertion which is popu- larly known as "staring fever." 'i:** It is to be hoped that the chilly weather will not keep the politicians from warming up to their work. **'1: One cannot help regretting that the experiment of Farmer Gov- . ernment has been so costly. Can we afford any more of it? *** Coal is such a necessary article that anything in regard to it is a matter of interest to every one of us. In last Saturday's Globe there was a letter from a man who signed him- self "A Coal Consumer." He gives the figures which were submitted by the Hon. Mr. Garland, of Bow River to the Fuel Committee of the Federal House at Ottawa on April 17th, 1923. These figures are based upon net costs for operation only, and' do not include capital charges upon equip- ment and roadbed. From these figures it appears that the net cost of hauling a ton of coal from the Alberta mines to Toronto is $4.62. Suppose we take a train of 50 cars carrying 2,375 tons of coal at $6 per ton, the net cost of $4.62 per ton would be met plus $3,277.50, or nearly 30 per cent. towards the fixed capital charges before mentioned. , Assuming that these figures are all right, and they seem to be, the $9 per ton rate offered by Sir Henry Thorn- ton is outrageously high. Indeed, the only inference one can draw from his offer is that he is purposely working into the hand> of the striking ruiners and the profitesaing operators of the United States STAFFA. Mr. Arthur Treffery spent the week -end with relatives in this vicrn- ity, There are some very mean custom- ers in this part of the country. Last Saturday while Mr. and Mrs, Bragg were visiting friends, some party took twelve Black Siberian and Flem- ish Giant rabbits and some fowl from the stable. Much damage was done to the property. Mrs, Sills of Cleveland visited her sister in St. Mary's. A baseball match was staged stere Saturday evening between the bache- lors and benedicts, The latter won out although it is hard to see holt they could do it. Miss Lawson, of Stratford, was a visitor here. "Mr. Stewart McVey, of St, Mary's, was a Sunday visitor Mr. G. Miller is home again after spending a while in the classic city. Mr. and Mrs. Verner spent Sun- day at Mr, and Mrs. Miller's. DULUTH LETTER The farmers, the bar.kbone of The country, have been badly hampered by lie lateness of the season .and the roceed. It was on the east shore of he Big River and a little, south, of the th concession on a beautiful warm Sunday afternoon. Two: persons, a mail and wife were being baptized by Immersion by a Baptist clergyman. A bunch of us young chaps were on hand to witness the ceremony, proba- bly some of us not overly pious, at least at that time, Probably attracted by the crowd, nd maybe somewhat inquisitive to know the reason of this assemblage along came a large black -haired wooly dog and mixed with us. As he did so friend William grabbed him, and getting a good leverage hold of his body, with a powerful swing let go and a very much surprised dog landed in midstream, getting an in- voluntary bath and immersion, the same not being on the official . pro- gramme, —ROBERT McNAUGHTON. Duluth, Minn., May 12, 1923. 8 Recalls Last Drive, In a recent issue of The Seaforth News and in the Winthrop items, I read where William Trewartha (and whom I take for granted is the same good chum I knew in early days) has purchased a new Chevrolet: car. Well, I would like, one ride in it, sitting alongside of him the same as I took my last Mcfiillop ride one beautiful April day in 1882, but in this case his horse was the motive power and his buggy the conveyance. At that time he resided on the 9th . concession, a little east of the Little Maitland or the Big River, as we youngsters used to name it in the early days, where we often fished, swam and helped our fathers wash their sheep. _Well do I remember this eventful day a little over forty-one years ago. As yet I think of the coming to and opening of the concession gate and our passing through. turning to the West, crossing the Big River bridge, passing the Winthrop cheese factory on the right, coming to. Wm. Cook's blacksmith shop, which was on the south east of Winthrop' corners, and where Joseph Little, a son of the late John Little of the 8th concession, an- other of Old McKillop's worthy pio- neers, learned the blacksmithing trade. Turning north on the northern gravel road, I see the late • Alex. Murchie's postoffice and store for the last time; the late Bob Hannah's ho- tel and stables which for years ac- commodated the public and their horses, though, later under different managers; on the left, across the road a familiar blacksmith and carriage shop are gradually left behind. In a short time we pass through Leadbury, then through Walton, When we reached the 16th concession, we turn east to go to the residence of the late James Douglas of Grey, but we meet his conveyance with James Cusie and John Douglas aboard, a son-in-law and son, with whom I was to leave for the 'then great golden northwest, the Mecca headed for by thousands at that time. We turn back and again head north when we reach the northern gravel road, until Brussels is reached. Short- ly afterwards that day I saw William for the last time, at least to date. As the train slowly commenced to move, through a raised car window I called out, "Good bye, Annie" a daughter of the late James Douglas of Grey, as she stood on the platform giving fare- well wavings of the hand and hand- kerchief. There were also aboard the Hyslop brothers and others of Grey, also bound for the great northwest, the latter for Brandon, Man„ any two companions and myself heading first for Grand Forks, NaDakota, but as things did not sult_, in three days we bought tickets for Brandon, Man., where u'e again niet the former. Was the Dog "Converted?" Taking it for granted 'friend Wm. Trewartha will forgive me for relat- ing the following incident, which oc- curred in the last of the '70's, I will OBIDGEWONG Our quiet little. village has been thrown into a sensation of ,a nine days' wonder by the discovery of a "still" in our :midst.: One of our leading society ladies was recently visited by a revenue officer, who dis- covered a quantity of raisins soaking is her kitchen and he confiscated the "mash." In court, however,. the lady was able to prove that she was .mak- Mg pies for a church social, and that several of these were actually in the oven when the officer called. The pies were produced in court and the judge dismissed the case. During the discussion of the Board of Trade meeting in Carl Smith's shop on Friday evening, our village philosopher, Ira Pearson, thought if THE SEAFORTH DEWS there was a three cornered fight he did not think the Literal candidate would be elected. The Co;iservatives had no candidate in the riding last time and voted for Proudfoot, but a great many did not vote at all. He was of the opinion that it'would be a whole lot different this time when they had .a candidate in the field. He said Mr. Govenlocic was a good-na- tured fellow, but had never been heard of in the house at Toronto.He had allowed the Minister of Highways to tax I3u'ron county for roads atits sweet will without protest. He had made no abjection to Biggs paying twenty-two cents for auto markers when he could get as good for eleven cents, and worse than that, Biggs was charging $1.00 to the public for these same markers. The building of a new drain down our main 'thoroughfare was also dis- cussed, but was left for another meeting. Our principal, Mr. Chas, Timber says there is •no chance of the early birds getting his book svornis as he always gets .there first. HARLOCK. Mother's Day was held Sunday iu Burns' Church with both old and young taking part. The anthetns rendered by the mother's choir were very appropriate. Miss Marjory and Master Arthur Colson spent Sunday with Misses Ella and Ruby Toll. Miss Angus Reid is at present nurs- ing ` her convalescent sister, Miss Mary Campbell, of Winthrop. In England the matrimonial market is stable again. Lady Grosvenor is preparing to marry a jockey. 1 rIPAia(f FE LIR, 1 " Chieftain Mixed Feed, per. cwt. $1.60 Clansman, Stock Feed, per cwt. 1.75 Low Grade Flour, per cwt. 2,00 ROY MILLS, Ltd.
