A pleasant social evening,
By all 'of Cromarty spent
At -the home of John McCulloch,
A "twenty-fifth" year event.:
But only a quarter 'century
Baa passed away since then,
�
Now only four old resident's
In Crpmarty;remain, a
The first we Mention was Wee Don-
ald!s farm;
When they abode 'twas a log house
and barn,
While nowothe farm big Donald owns,
And both the barn and house have
grown.
In next door then lived Rev. Peter Scott
Whose many -texts are not forgot,
Followed by the Revs. Cranston and
McKay,
'The present one being Rev. Ritchie.
The Park house is the next we see,
Old "honey -moon" cottage used to be,
Where many a bride lived in her glory,
'The cottage nowhas an upper story.
Then follow up, 'twas two vacant lots
Which, since that time, Will Houghton
has bought,
where uw he lives, with a family of
six—. .
'Three •boys and three girls, an even
mix.
Across the way lives Richard Hoggarth
And la next door' lives Mrs. Tgffotd,
With Mrs. Cour u...gged ninety-one,
May her stn ezi golden crown.
In the house, where now lives John
McCulloch
Was, at thht time, owned by Uncle
Donald,
Whose busy shuttle could be beard
Flitting to and fro, weaving many a
yard.
Then, Blacksmith Frank, -made the
anvil ring,
And where now you can hear Duncan
McKellar sing.
On the cornering lot lives Mrs. Speare,
Who has lived in Cromarty for many
a year. -
Of Mrs. Johnston you have often heard,
She, now, is dwelling in Wallaceburg;
She did live here, for a long, long
while,
But the place now belongs to Mrs. Pile.
On the corner there stood the old hotel,
It was managed by Maggie and Sandy

PONZI TELLS OF SCHEME THAT
BROUGHT IN MILLIONS
At Boston recently Charles Ponzi
said on the witness 'stand in his own
fence on the, charge' of larceny that
he, believed that his business was le-
gitimate from4lieginning to end, and
that he had not kept a cent of the
millions of dollars entrusted to him
by investors in his Securities Ex-
change Company. He declared that
his wife also got none of the money:
Ponzi, who is now under a five-year
Federal sentence to Plymouth jail,
said:
"In the spring of 1919 I devised an
advertising scheme that looked good,
but I lacked ehpital. One day a letter
came from Spain, which contained an
international reply coupon. It lay on
my desk for several days, and one day
I picked up the coupon and read and
.re -read it.
"I decided to find out regarding the
possibilities. I wrote to parties in
Italy, France and Spain, enclosing a
dollar in each letter, and told them
to buy as many coupons as they could,
It was done. Then I took them to the
post office and found they could be ex-
changed.
I reasoned it out that if five or ten
or fifty coupons-e'ould be converted at
a profit, milliops Could. I didn't go
into the ethics of the question. I
didn't have any money and I knew it
was practically out of -the question to
go to any bank to borro''ithaut dis-
closing the plan—giving them a
chance at it.
"I decided I could borrow from the
public and let the public share the
profit I made. I approached one au-
quaintance and asked him if ho
thought he could raise the money.
"I got my first returns in February
and from that time it grew and -grew

CURRENT WIT AND WISDOM
The fashion makers have found a
new way to shock the world. It isn't
legs and it isn't shoulders which are
to be exposed to the gaze of a breath -

This is the ultimate, box -score limit.
Or 'at least we thought it was until
we read/ the next line. The next line
says that the lobe of the naked ear
will be colored a delicate pink: If
the forces of righteousness in this

have, they will nip this outrageous
suggestion in the bud. We stand for

to stand for ears!—Kingston Whig.

A -French aviator has succeeded in
writing on the Parissky the complete
name of a maker of automobiles. The
aviator and the firm which backed
him, now that they have been able to
look into the heavens and read a
trade word in the daytime, have turn-
ed their ambitions to producing let-
ters and words which will glow at
night, and keep the name of the firm
before the ergwd in the streets be-
low both and/after sunset.
,A difficulty is that the words must
be written upside down in order to
be read from the ground by people
looking up. The situation is rather
like writing on the inside of the win-
dow of a shop in order that the words
may be read from the outside by a
person looking in. _
The Paris police regulations com-
pel a pilot to fly at an altitude not.
less than 2,000 meters, which would
allow the aviator ample opportunity
to reach any of the aerodromes in,

cident.

' Germany, once the leading country

economize her coal to the utmost. For
some time past the several railroad
administrations have been at work on
projects for the extraction from loco-
motive cinders of all these particles
of fuel that can still be utilized for
heating purposes.
Quite recently a plant for the treat-
ment of locomotive cindegy�.s has been
put in operation at Fidelstedt, a su-
burb of Hamburg, and the method is
as follows:
Railroad cars on sidings deliver the
locomotive cinders forming the raw
material for the process. A large tip-
ping mechanism empties the cars de-
positing their contents upon a huge
grate. Lumps too large in size are
reduced until they pass upon the huge
grate downward into the pits. From
these the cinders are raised by an
elevator t9 -the highest point of the
plant andldropped into great evoly-
ingdrurn sieves that sort out tae fine
material (from dust to grains about
four-fifths of an inch in diameter)

sliding plane into a container. Through

ity and , kept in a vibrating motion

having a high specific gravity sink
to the, bottom of this container. The
lighter particles or partly burned cin-
ders and small bits of coke float on
the surface and are carried off by the
strong current. In this manner clin-
kers and cinders are separated. The
coke thus sorted out passes on an
endless belt transporter and is quick-
ly picked off by workmen. Collected
into heaps it is ready for sale and
COWHIDE DON'TS
Don't use a dull knife when remov-
ing hides, no matter what kind.
Twenty minutes' work on the grind-
stone will save you much more time
when skinning a carcass. Remember,
too, that it is dsually the dull knife
that cuts the holes.
Don't forget to lay the beef, horse
or calf skin out flat and salt heavily.
Use extra amounts of salt around the
head, legs, etc.
Don't forget that such a hide must
lie about two nays and then be resell -
