More Covering Capacity
for the Money
"Tate -Lap" Galvanized Roofing is true
to 'name. Every sheet has nine
places to nail across the bottom—only
,4 inches between nails. The end lap is
so tight as to be invisible, and it posi-
tively excludes driving rain or snow.
"Tito -Lap" is a development of the famous
`.'Rib Roll "which we introduced ten years ago.
It has all the good appearance and weather
tightness of"Rib Roll" but, on account ofthe
re -arrangement of the ribs, each sheet has
greater covering capacity.
Galvanized ropfing or siding offers the utmost
in• durability—and "Tits -Lap" is the type of
galvanized roofing which ensures easiest appli-
cation, and most permanent weather protec-
tion, at low cost.
Tell us what you want to roof, giving ridge
and rafter measurements and we will send
you TITE-.LAP estimate and show you how
you can save money.
'LGalvenarnelled Rib -Roll'°
A durable, fire proof, galvanized roofing and
siding in attractive, permanent color's,,. for
your house or any other building. Cannot
warp, shrink, crack, curl or bulge. Another
unequalled roofing value.

$100,000 Fire at Durham
Durham—A disastrous fire, which
broke out shortly before 9 o'clock on'
Thursday night, entirely destroyed the
alfalfa mill, owned by W, A. McGaw
an, and seriously damaged a cement
elevator adjacent to the mill, causing
a loss which is estimated at close to.
$100,000, partly covered by insurance,
Both the mill and the elevator were
heavily •stocked -with ' alfalfa, which
was ruined by the flames and water,.
No one was injured. The mill was a
five -story brick building. It was for-
merly . an oatmeal mill owned by Mr.

Goderich-Gerald Hamilton, son of

slightly hurt in an accident which oc-
curred last night near his hone. The
child was hanging onthe back of a
wagon going out No. 8 Highway, and
letting go at a point opposite his
home, stepped into the path of an
on-
coming
comin car driven bY Mrs. J-J.Hog-
garth,
which was travelling at a mod-
erate speed. She applied the brakes
and stopped the car a short distance
from where the child was struck.
Suspended Animation
It" is rather early for fish stories.
We probably told the last one in this
vicinity about Christmas, when a num-
ber of gold fish were frozen in for
weeks in solid ice, in a pool in the
rock garden at the rear of the News -
Record, and still lived. This week, we
go one better. In the fall, the owner
thought he had taken every last fish
out of the lower pool, in which was
left a few inches of water. The other
day, while 'examining the pool, two
lively fish were found therein, and
they certainly must, have been frozen
in the solid ice for about five months.
Just how long gold fish will live' un-
der such circumstances, is a -question
we would like answered. — Fergus
