We have much pleasure in extending to our
friends and patrons a cordial invitation to attend
cur Fall Opening, which we have arranged to take
place, Tuesday, Sep ember, twenty-first and follow-
ing days. Every Department of our st ore is well
stocked and assorted with the different lines of
goods in spite of the fact that it has been very dif.
ficult to secure goods in many lines, but by being
right on the job and buying early we are in a po-
sition to give you the goods at prices just a little
better than you can get at many places.
Our Millinery Department
Under the supervision of Miss Cliftonwho
was with us last Spring, will. be filled with the
very newest Styles and Materials, and we have not
the slightest hesitation in saying that we have
never shown a more beautiful display of Autumn
Millinery and the prices are wonderfully moderate.
Everybody invited to call Tuesday and following
days.

Outside towns and cities do not pay

then you are justified in sending out

and do so at a reasonable price, you
are nob loyal to your town. You are
not a good citizen if you do not spend
your money in the town in which you
live and make your living.

Hydro Electric Power
Hydro is a Latin word meaning
water; therefore hydro power means
waterpower. The water power is
transformed into electric powerby
transforming plants at Niagara Falls,
and iir transmitted to many parts of
Ontario as hydro electric power or en-
ergy.. This is sold to the towns and
villages by the Hydro Electric Comr
mission at so much a horse power,
which;israted according to cost oft
constriction of the transmission line
and.alo on the quantity of power
used in the community.
The Commission constructs the',
line to the edge of the yillage, and
the property owners of the village.pay
for the construction of the lines within
the corporation. The cost of construc-
tion is provided for by issuing deben-
tures usually extending over 80+years,
and in most places where hydro has
been installed the receipts from, the
power users is sufficient to proyide for
the payment of the debentures as they
fall due in eyery year. And as more
users are added to the system, the in-
come becomes greater and a surplus
accrues.
The householder who. wishes to
have the lights installed in his home
pays for the wiring within his own
house and the wiry required to con-
nect it'with the system on the street,
He pars 61- cents (estimated) per kilo-
wat hour for current together with an
extra charge for floor space,
The advantages of the hydro system
over the usual system is that a eon-
tinous service is provided, which en-
ia s e' *so have lights mornings
and .evenings, and also electrical de-
vices for cooking, etc, can be installed,
The cost niay be higher the first few
years, but as more people take power,
it will become cheaper.
The plans as outlined by Mr G
Stanley, of Lucan, are as follows:
The*power is transmitted from Lon-
don to Lucan, and from Lucan to
Exeter, where a transforming station
is now under erection. The line is
then continued to Sare to where
a
,
branch will be built to Dashwood
and another branch built to Zurich, a
distance of 5 miles.
At the Hay council meeting on Sat-
urday a by-law was provisionally ad-
opted and it will be voted on at the
municipal elections in January. But
it is altogether likely that the money
by-law will also be prepared and voted
on at the same time.
KILLED AT .CLINTON
Passengers on the London Huron
8,5 -Bruce train due in London at 10
o'clock witnessed a terrible tragedy,
almost in front of the depot at Clinton
on Thursday last, when Arthur Forbes
aged 65, a coal dealer of that place,
was instantly'killed.
Train No 29, from Toronto, in
charge of Conductor Jack°"o112cAuliffe
and Engineer McIntosh, of Stratford,
was moving out of the depot to allow
the London train, which is due at
Clinton at 10.25, but which remains
there 81 minutes to make connections
with the Toronto train, to pass, when
Mr Forbes whose place of business is
cl ose to the depot, was struck by train
No 29, and thrown under the wheels
his body being cut in two.
A sad feature of the deplorable ac-
cident was the fact that Miss May
Forbes, hook -keeper for her father,
was a witness of the tragedy.
Dr Gardner was hastily called, but
he found death had been instantaneo-
us. Coroner Thompson was notified
and at once iim anelled a jury, who
viewed the body.
Mr Forbes was a consistent mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church. His
widow, two daughters and five sons
survive hint, Mrs Cecil Ross, of Ham.

Houston, Texas; James of Waterford;
