ARE FORTUNAT
SLe early fall and continuingun-
•tithe present time, many districts In
Ontario have been experiencing a
shortage of water.
Particularly is this so in the Coun-
ty of 'Middlesex. Reports fresthere
• atate that the water situation is acute.
Many farmers in that county are
drawing !barrels of water long dist-
ances to provide enough to keep their
cattle alive aand for household, use.
It is said to be, a familiar sight in
the rural districts to see trucks and
wagons backed up against streams
and fanners dippinlg water into bar-
rels and old milk cans and in many
places there are well worn paths from
the road to the sides of large streams.
When the water supply of a tovrn
is shut off for the space of an hour
or two, we all know, what a bitter
complaint is raised by the house-
holders of that community.
Try then to imagine what it means
to a farmer, with a barn full of stock
when his water supply fails. Hauling
water ie the fall is bad enough, but
in the winter it is an almost impos-
sible jells.
And, yet, it must be done, if the
stock is to be kept alive. Even if a
farmer has a creek running through
some part of his farm, or his neigh-
bor has, and he is able, to drive his
stock to and from water, it means a
very serious loss and inconvenience to
the farmer.
You can drive a horse to water, bu,
you can't make hin drink, is a 'yen
old, but a very true statement, and
it applies to all stock. Even if the
stock will drink when driven t,
water, by the time they reach the
barn on the return trip, if the distance
is anything, they are ready for as
much more.
It is too late then, however, until
the next day, and until the next day
they can be nothing but indifferent
feeders. If that goes on for any
length of •time, the shrinkage is
bound to be considerable. In fact a
goad deal more than the difference
between profit and loss and the farm-
er can not stand much more thrink-
age in values at the present time and
keep on in business.
Fortunately, this district and even
this county has not experienced any
such shortage of water as the farm-
ers in Middlesex and other districts
of Western Ontario have had to con-
tend with for some months.
Early in the fall a considerable
shortage of water was reported here
but the early rains and thaws after
the first snows, have brought the
water into the wells again and every-
where there seems to be plenty, if not
an abundance of water.
But the time is coming and very
shortly too, when the farmers, even
in this district, will have to give con-
siderable more thought to their water
supply. The clearing of the land and
the farm and municipal drains have
so diverted the surface waters that
the shallow wells which have done
duty for two of three generations will
no longer be able to afford a water
supply at all adequate to the needs
of the farms.
There is only one thing to do and
that is to drill. Artesian wells, of
course, are expensive, but when once
water is reached they are permanent.
In the meantime, our farmers are just
fortunate.—r.1

That being the case, and it is a
fact, it has always puzzledus to un-
•darertatal way township councils did
1144 take a greater advantage of the
eppartunity, which the local paper
preseats, of laying before the rate-
payers the business' of the township
as it is conducted month by month.
If all township councils would pub.
dish their minutes of council meetings,
many of their members would not
have to spend se much time and suf-
fer so much pain in introducing them-
selves to the ratepayers on nomination
day. Nat only would their names al-
ready be familiar, but their work at
the council board as well, and the
ratepayers would have an opportun-
ity of judging their record.
This system might not prove of ad-
vantage to some ' councillors, but it
would prove of advantage to the
townships, and the people in the town-
ships need all that is coming to them
in these piping times of peace.
The trouble in Orillia is said to
have been caused by misinformation
supplied by outside reporters to dif-
ferent city papers. That might be
quite true, because there are times
when the .publishing of a report of the
discussion on a question which has
come before a council board, would do
considerably more harm than good,
for the simple reason that no one
outside the council was conversant
with all the facts and figures or all
the circumstances. What might be
innocent in the eyes of those who
know the facts, might easily be look-
ed upon as criminal by those who do
not.
As far as the townships are con-
cerned, however, there is little danger
of outside interference, and -there are
few, if there are any local papers
that would publish any question or
discussion which might have come
before or been heard at a council
meeting, against the wishes of that
council. And, if the council sends in
its own report, there is, of course, no
danger whatever.
Ratepayers have certain rights.
One of these is to know how e coun-
cil is performing. the duties for which
it was elected, and the surest, safest
and easiest way of imparting this in-
formation is a report of council pro-
ceedings in the local press.

W. M. S. -The January meeting of
the W. M. S. was held on Friday last
at the Manse, this being a special
Day of Prayer set apart by the On-
tario Provincial. A good attendance
was present. Mrs. James Scott acted
as president for the January meeting.
The devotional part was taken by Mrs.
Scott, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Rogers and Mrs.
Thomas Scott. Sincere and earnest
prayers were offered for national as
well as foreign missions, and all
those who teach and guide the young
as well as giving thanks for favors
and blessings of the past year. The
roll call topic was verses on prayer
and was very ably and fitting res-
ponded to, the Scripture lesson for
the day being taken by Mrs. Donald
MeKellar. Excellent 'papers were
read by 1VIrs. Cooper and Mrs. Hough-
ton, the meeting being interspersed
by singing hymns, especially ap-
pointed by the Provincial. The meet-
ing was closed by singing the Dox-
ology and the leneasi Prayer was re-
peated in unison. Lunch was served
and a very pleasant half :hour was
spent.
The young people of the congrega-
tion betook themselves to the Moun-
tain on Wednesday night last and
spent a very enjoyable time skidding
down the mountain, after which they
repaired to the Manse for a weiner
roast. Altogether they spent a very
enjoyable evening.
The annual meeting of the Crom-
arty Presbyterian Church was held in
the basement of the church on
Thursday last. Reports presented by
the Managers and Secretary were very
satisfactory, showing that in spite of
strenuous times our church is in a
very prosperous condition.
