Railway Tax Distribution
The Railway Tax Distribution which
is given. out to each municipality each
year has not been received for 1922,
and town clerk Galbraith has written
to the department in this regard. . He
has received answer from the pro-
Vincial treeiurer in which he ,states
that the delay is caused by the distrib-
ution being made on a different basis
this year on account of the new cen-
sus. The. amount received by Wing -
ham last year was $ecio.00.
The New Tax On'Receipts
.Wie. gham, like. all 'other live mun-
icipalities throughout Canada, made a
protest last week over the .signatures
of its business men against the new
tax on -receipts. This tax, imposedby
the 'Dominion Government at the last
session of Pa.rliarnent, will become op-
erative at the beginning of the New
Year.. This is the stamp tax on re-
ceipts given in acknowledgement of
payment on slims of ten dollars and
upWards. The tax is not a graduated
one like that on cheques. In the case
of receipts a two -cent stamp is to be
affix.ed to each .document regardless
.of the artiount involved. •

The so-called gravity test is simply
a measure of density. (weight)., That
gravity means nothing when used to
describe gasoline, is best shown by the
fact that gravity is not mehtioned at
all in the specifications of the larger
and better informed buyers of gaso-
line,
It is easy to make a mixture of :very
volatile products like casingheacl nap-
htha and a heavy produce like coal -oil
that will show a very high gravity
test, but such a mixtere would be a
very poor fuel for yourmotor car.
Po not get the idea that because
certain dealers advertise a high test
gasoline and charge two or three cents
per gallon more for it that you are
going to get more miles per gallon,
it is a mistake. The so-called gravity
test is a fallacy. It Will not be hard
to convince yourself of thie if you in-
vestigate the matter, You can be sure
that if a high gravity test gasoline
were a practical necessity, that Im-
perial Oil Limited and other large all
companies wottld make such a gaso-
line, But -high gravity is not an in-
dication of high, quality.
Supposing we were to make a gaso-
line of sufficient high gravity eo that
its range were -only 5 or tO degrees

Leave Coffin Nails Alone
A word to you sonny—you little
thirteen or fourtten-year-old 'boy who
is -smoking cigarettes on the sly, and
we liappee to know there are some
such in Wingharn. What do you want
to be when you grow up—a stalwart,
healthy, vigorous and broad shoulder-
ed man, or a little, puny, measly, no
account, weak-minded dude? If you
want to be it man, strong like a man
with hair on your face, brains in your
head and muscles in your. limbs, you
just let those cigarettes alone, Tf you
want to be a thing pitied by your
folk's, despised by the girls and held
in contempt by fellows, keep right on
smoking and end yoer days in the in-
sane asylum.
