Tuesday morning. The youngster, it
seems, .had taken ill with what is tech-
nically known as intussepteon, a tele-
scoping of the bowels, which caused
an intestinal obstiruction that necessi-
tasted an operation, which was per-.
formed at 'the Hospital, Walkerl:on,
Monday night. Although the child
came through the ordeal well and was
thought to be making a good recov-
ery, he took -an unexpected turn .for
the worse next morning„a.nd despite
all that medidal aid and expert nurs-
rng could'do, his spirit took its flight
as the 'whistles were blowing seven.
The loss cast a shadow of sorrow
over the home, where this winsome
little flower, was a general favorite.
Besides the bereaved parents a bro-
ther and sister survive. The funeral
took place from the family residence,
Napier, Street, to the Walkerton
Cemetery on Thursday afternoon at
2.30 o'clock. •

TRANSIENT TRADERS LICENSE FEE IS $300
COUNCIL WANT DITCH IN PRAIRIE FIXED
,The regular monthly meetieg of
the Town Council was held on Titers-
daY evening, August 29th, on account
of 'Monday being a •holiday. Mayor
Fells occupied the clair.
The report of the 'Finance Com-
mittee with the usual gist of accounts
was adopted.
Coen. Wilkinson, chairman of the
Fire Cammittee reported the re-
moval of one member from town, but
by next meeling wouldethaVe a new
one appointed. ,
Mayor 'Fells, chairman of Street
Committee reported that 2000 gal. 'of
oil had been used to leesen the dust
nuisance,Pand that all oiled streets
were in fair shape. • ,
A short discussion took place re-
garding the ditch running through
the prairie and 'decided to protest to
Morris Township of its condition,
and ask that it be completed.
Mayor Fells reported that the op-
tion on the Bell Factory by the Gunn -
Son -Ola Company had been t n up
• , ,
and that posseesiun would be given
at 12 o'clock on SaturdayikAugust 31.
A. section of the 1929 staintes was
read with 'regard to the Transient
Traders By -Law in town, which
showed the lucal, by-law to be veily
much out-of-date, and after a short
discussion $300 was fixed as the fee
instead of $50 as formerly. This fee
is merely a protection to local mer-
chants against the dumping of bank-
rupt or other stock into town for a
short sale. •
The members of the Council ex-
pressed 'their opinion' that a few of
the buildings that had been recently
wrecked were an eyesore. to the town
and that they should be'cleaned up.
Instructions were given the Clerk to
notify the interested parties to have
this work done as soon as possible..
The cells in the basement of the
Town Hall had been repaired and on
the adjournment of the meeting the
Council was asked by the Mayor to
inspect them. ,
IMPORTANT PROPERTY DEAL

sections in Josephine Street business

j Hanna disposed of his store prop-
erty to Mr. A. J. Waer et a figure.
around $12,000. / lvt?. 1-71-Inna .takes
Walker's store at a valuation?(The
Hanna Store is one of the ideal busi-
ness locations in town, has exception-
al window display possibilities, and'
has an abundance of space. It is
steam -heated and has most, comfort-
able living,i'marters above.'The deal
becomes effective on January 1st
next. There is one regrettable fea-
ture about the transaction, which
means the probable removal from the
town of Mr. Hanna, who all his life
has been associated with the business.

POLICING OF TOWNS
(St, Mary Journal -Argus)
llocently a suggestion that the poi-
! icing of Ontario towns and Villages
be taken over by provincial police and
the local constabulary abolished was.
very widely discussed in the press
and widely commented. In 'talking
to a British Columbia friend lately
welearned that a similiar system is
in vogue out in B. C. With the pro-
vincial police in c'harge, the law is
enforced much better, according to
our informant, than it was under the
old system of local constables. At
the present time the efficient policing
of the small town is a problem al-
most everywhere, and we believe
most municipalities would welcome
the idea of the province taking toyer
the job.
LOOKS LIXE A - -
PROVINCIAL ELECTION'
••••,•••••••••••••••••••
Every day and in every way' it
looks mare and more like a provin-
cial general election this fall. Pro-
minent Conservative papers Wive
boldly announced the date as being
towards the end of October or early
in November, but SO far the Prime
Minister, Hon. G. H. Ferguson, has
not confirmed the rumor. An author-
itative statement is expected from
him at a banquet in Toronto cm the
19th inst.
'Usually the Provincial Legislature
goes to the country every three
years but they can defer this privi-
lege for an extra year if thought de-
sirable. A week ago the Prime Min-
ister announced a bonus of approxi-
mately 75c per ton to Ontario Steel
manefacturers for use of Canadian
ore. This, with changes itt school
administration, expansion of road
construction in rural parts, are fair
evidences of an early appeal to the
people. The bonus to irott manufac-
turers is one of deepest importance,
as it etaks posAible to use local ore,
instead of importing all the ore used
from the United,Statea or Newfotitid-
land, Ontario has practically militias
ited quantities of ore, but of a tow
grade, that it requires certain treat-
ment to bring it on a par with the
imported article, attd the proposed
honus just about covers that cost.
WITH .TUE BOWLERS
'Porty-six pair entered the Motint
Forest Annual Doubles Bowl hag
