Challenged Hep.burn
to Public Debate
Preston—Accorded the Conserva-

J.• M. Wilard of Gait withdrew, Karl
K. Homuth was selected „to represent
South Waterloo in the Provincial el-
e&tion shortly, and will oppose N.
O. Hipel, present member, in this rid-
ing. The challenge of Karl tC, Ho-
muth to meet Mitchell Hepburn in
a platform debate in Waterloo, the
record attendance of enthusiastic el-
ectors despite a blinding snowstorm,
in addition to the selection of officers
and executives, proved the highlights
of the convention.
Mitchell Hepburn's retort when
told of Karl Homuth''s challenge to a
public debate was brief and to the
point. "Let Homuth hire a hall," said
the Liberal Leader. "My offer to
Cabinet Ministers who want to de-
bate still stands, but I haven't time
to give cheap publicity to defeated
M.P.P.'s."

ly connecting link between the north

sult of the frost corning out of the
concrete.
The gap in the retaining wall is
about 20 feet long, .12 feet high and
18 .inches deep, leaving nothing to
iold the fill behind the wall. Over
ive tons of concrete and stone fell
nto the river.

weeks' vigil before her brood of
young chicks could be hatched, the

Colborne Township to Get Seed Grain
Goderich-Colborne is the first
township in Huron County to take
advantage of the Seed Grain Act, by
which farmers receive financial back-
ing to purchase seed. At the monthly
meeting of the Township Council,
Clerk Sallows was instructed to have
the Township Solicitor prepare the
necessary by-law, and a special meet-
ing has been called for Thursday to •
give it the necessary readings. Quite
a number of farmers without seed or
money to purchase it, owing to last
year's crop failure, have already made
application for assistance.
Tax on IVlail-Order Offices

Opening- order offices should be oblig-

in a resolution, copies of which are
being forwarded to Hon. H. H. Stev-
ens, the Ontario Department of Mun-
icipal Affairs and Retail Merchants'
Association. The feeling of the mer-
chants was that they were being sub-
jected to unfair competition through
mail-order houses opening order offic-
es in the smaller communities.
Powder Explodes in Stove—
Mr. Wm.Dahmer had his face and
hands burned in a rather peculiar
manner and considers himself very
fortunate that the accident was not of
a more serious nature. A number of.
years ago Mr. Dahmer made a prac-
tice of reloading his own shells for
hunting and the powder for the pur-
pose was kept in a box. As it had
not been used for some time the pow-
der was shifted from place to place
and on lighting the fire Mr. Dahmer
was burning some rubbish he put the
box containing the powder in the
stove by mistake. The resultant ex,
plosion filled the room with smoke
and he suffered a number of barns
about the face and hands. --Milverton
