JOHNNIE'S GROUCH
'Cause brother Ben has gone to nght
Across the so so far,
I like to stick around at night
And read about the aiar,
But when I think me and my chums
Are fighting Fritz in France,
My ma asks if I've done my sums;
A feller gets no chance.
And when I'm marching proudly back
With fifty captured Huns,
My dad will say, 'retire Jack'.
That's how they spike my guns.
My teacher's a conscriptionist,
She calls me 'Johnnie clear',
13tit backs it with an iron fist
And So I volunteer.
I got kept in at school one day
For lesson not half learned,
An when dad asked, "Why this delay',
I said rd been interned,
And when our test exams came out
And 'mine was extra bad,
I said, "We needn't fuss about
A scrap of paper, dad".
When sister's chap comes round at night,
And pa seems in a rage,
Ma only smiles; she knows, all right,
It's just dad's camouflage.
And when I entertain this beau
While Sis, puts on her dress,
Sometimes I get a dime, You know,
That's strategy, I guess.
My dad is getting rather stout,
And hates to mow the lawn,
But when he gets the mower out,
First thing he knows I'm gone.
But when I've trouble with my pa,
No matter what it for,
I make an ally of my ma,
And then I win the war.

Advertising Rates Raise
To show how hard newspaper men are
hit by war conditions, and how necessary
it is that they must have increased prices
for everything that is turned out of a
printing establishment, and higher rates
of advertising in keeping with the advance
of paper stock of all kinds, and all that
enters into the publication of a news-
paper, the increased cost of the necessaries
of life, etc„ it is only necessary to say
that at least 1200 publications in the
United State and Canada quit publishing
during the past year, The principal de-
crease was furnished by the weekly, daily
and semi-weekly papers ranking first, and
the daily papers second in the increase,
A Great interpretative Violinist
The recital by Miss Isolde Menges, the
world renowned English violinist, in the
Opera House on Saturday night was a
rare treat for music lovers, but it appears
• to take the comedian to get the crowd.
The house Vas far from filfed but it was a
very appreciative audience and the en.
tertainer was 80011 on easy terms with
them. Miss Menges seemed equally
skillful in the brilliant and vigorous inoves
melts as irt the more simple melodies.
She plays with a full and pure tone, bow-
ing firmly and vigorously, and gives an
interpretation of the various pieces that
reveals a rare artistic temperament. The
deftness of her fingering stops at nothing
d througliikt there is the same clean,
crisp execution, Miss Menges had no
printed program 'but aanounced each
number herself, °Reit giviiig 'some little
description of the piece which helped one
to appreciate it more fully, in her Own
quaint style. Miss Eileen Wattle, a
talented Auetrallan artist, was equally a
success at the piano as accompanist. Miss

INCREASE IN PHONE
North Huron Company Ask Users
To Pay For Batteries
The reaming from Are London. Free
Pres:: of Saturday, alarch 23rd has refer,
ence to the North Huron Telephone
System. -"A number of complaints are
being made by farmers in this neighbct"-
hood who are patrons of the North Huron
'Telephone Company, as they bave all
been notified that on and after March 10
an extra charge Will be made for the bat-
teries used by them in addition to the
present rate now charged The farmers
claim that when the telephones were in-
stalled the 'agreement was that after pay-
ing for live years the rate for . service
would be iedeced They also claim that
while 1110 users of the North Huron phone
are paying it rale of $14 a year, Brussels,
Molesworth, Wroxeter and other places
are only paying 510 a year for their rural
C1 vice It i, also rumored that those
having the Moleswerth phone claim that
after paying for the phone for five years
they will get a free phone, with the ex-
ception of long distance calls. The farm-
ers in this vicinity .feel that an injustice
is being done them and the consequence
is that a large number of petitions will be
handed to the secretary of the North 'Rir-
ie' Telephone -Company in regard to the
matter. The eecretary states that on ac-
count of the high cost of wire, batteries,
ac., they cannot reduce the present rates,
-
but, in epitc of title, applications are being
received daily for service and since the
new regulations have gone into force they
have inetalled a number of phones and, in
fact cannot meet the demand fast enough,"
