At a meeting of eke Council, out the Oounty of Huron, the follow- on Thursday, Ootober 16 b, a By -Law ing statement hag been given out by was drawn up.for presentation to the the committee who have opened up voters next January. This By -Law the matter, with a requeet for it's pub, calls for the raising of a million dol- lication in all the press of the county, Summer Month Yields, The average yield of 0,340 cows test- ed in dairy record centres maintained by the Dairy Division, Ottawa, in Ont. irio, Quebee and the Maritime Prov- inces in August was 022 pounds of milk, 3 0 test, 22 0 pounds of fat, al- most identical with the average yields in August of 1012 and 1011. Concealed beneath the comforting blanket of such a general average are widely different yields in various prov- inces, counties and herds, For instance at St, Joseph, 1V, 13„ the average yield was 433 pounds of milk, at St. Peosper, Qae„ 611 pounds, at Woodstock Ont„ Lars to provide for eoucrete roadways and The Star has been asked to for- 8')0 pounds.

Then he strides towards intelligent improvement, not wanting the 450 pounds per month kind, but the type that yields six or seven or more thousand pounds per year. Lhroughout, would be a paying proposition. This An interesting feature of the plan as outlined, is the provision of a contin- uous route of good roads. There have been instances in other communities• where otherwise excellent road de- velopment ideas were, in a measure, spoiled by failure to have the good road a continuous good road. The Es- sex County Council have shown their wisdom and far-sightedness by provid- in; for the complete coneecting up of the proposed concrete etre.ches, so Mat in the completed project by will appear no interruptions of unimprov- edor had roads. While not in a straight line, the completed series of roads will be, in effect, one long con- tinuous highway all of concrete, and taking in practically the whole of Es- sex County. There would seem to be a peculiarly enterprising spirit in the vicinity of the Detroit River. On one side of the River we have Wayne County, Michi- g in (the county of which Detroit is the principal centre) with approxi- mately 100 miles of Concrete County highways. This magnificent series of highways has been a model for other communities, and has attracted vial- on?'

We did so, with the result that the hydro engineers were soon on the ground and are now busy surveying and preparing estimat- es, "The route mapped out was so ar- ranged as to penetrate the heart of every municipality of the County of Huron. Although this does not nec- essarily fix the lines, they will be there or thereabouts, "After the engineers' report is pre- pared, we intend to call a public meet- ing of those interested, in some con- venient place in the county and have their findings placed before the meet- ing, when it will be fully discussed, and should the undertaking commend itself to those present, the scheme will be advanced to the stage of represen- ting it to the County Council, asking them to make it a county scheme, built by the county and owned by the coun- ty. "The chairman of the Oonrmission plainly said that they would float our bonds, build and equip the road, and when completed would run it, if the county wished them to do so." - committee went to Toronto, and the chairman of the Oommiesion explained the act fully.' In his explanation he told the committee that the Hydro Commission would send a staff of en- gineers into the county as soon as they were requested to do so, to make a sur- vey of the proposed route, and gather all the information necessary to show the people of the county that such rad• ial roads would be a paying proposit- ion or that it would not be a paying proposition to build them, All this work would be done at the expense of the Commission, and done thorough- ly. Furthermore, the chairman said, electricity would follow the proposed lines and would be able to distribute power and light eight miles on each side of the road, thus almost assuring hydro to every town, village and even every farm house in the County of Huron, at a cost within their reach, whereas without some such scheme as now spoken of it would be too expen- sive for a long time to comp.

"Only a regiment of soldiers" one neighbour called to the other as they clamped down the street in the crisp morning air, swords and bayonets gleaming. Nevertheless a brave regi- ment, the Arygle and Sutherland Highlanders, off to fight for their country's cause, "Shall we ever come bask again, Archie," asked a young lad of twenty of another standing next him. "God grant we may," veteran, ern chimed to an old , who had but parted from his wife with a tear- fal and lame goodbye. "God grant wt* may," he repeated. "1 did nab expect to leave nay native land again in my country's cause." And so they departed those noble fellows leaving still more nobler hearts behind to mourn their absence or perhaps for. ever their loss. Everyone knows of the bloody warfare of South Africa, thedistination of those soldiers. The writer overheard the remarks as she etood and watched them march out from under the grey, grim, old castle walie of I�".dinburg Castle, "Archie" never came back, but the old veteran, here of many betties, returned minue an arm, two ears later and yet, cal- lous heart that shouted on that fateful morning, "We only it regiment of fitrAnt.ft<:QtrAtt tions of municipal officers visiting Es- sex County to obtain pointers on how best to link together the farm com- munities with the marketplaces.

The medical profession does not be- lieve that lung troubles are inherited, but a person may inherit a weakness or tendency to them. Mrs. Kate Heckman, Springfield, Ohio, says: "A few years ago I was in a very bad run-down condition, and the physician told me I had consump- tion. I tried another physician, and he told me I had ulcers on my right lung. I quit the physicians - and started on 'Vivol.' Today 1 am perfectly healthy, and that is why I recommend 'Vinci'.' Vinol soothes and heals the infi ed surfaces and allays the cough, Vinol creates an appetite, strengthens the digestive organs and gives the patient ,strength to throw off in- cipient pulmonary diseases. Try a bottle of Vinol with the un- derstanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. J. Walton McKibbon, Druggist, Winghan2.
