John S. Tolton, postmaster of Wal-
kerton, died somewhat suddenly on
Aug. 26th, after a brief illness from
pneumonia. He was 79 years of age,
and, was -appointed postmaster fol-
lowing "the death of Mr. A. W. Robb.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Palmer, of Kin-
cardine, lost their little son, William
Wellington, on August 20th in a very
painful way. The little fellow was
going up the stairway when a coal oil
stove at the foot of the stair exploded,
throwing burning oil -over him. -Lie
was so badly burned that he died five
hours after the accident.
A _sad accident took place at the
farm of Mr. Alex. McArthur, of Un-
derwood, Bruce Co•, on Sunday. His
only grandchild, a little three-year-old
son of Mr. Gordon McArthur, was
kicked by a horse and killed. Gordon
McArthur, who is a railway station
agent out West, had just arrived
home with his wife and little boy, for
a visit to the old home after five
years' absence.
James Walker, of Culross Town-
ship, sustained a deep tut in the right
arm one day last week. He was re-
pairing a pea harvester while in gear.
The horses moved with the result that 1
the knife caught the muscle of the
arm. Fortunately, a sister who is a
trained nurse, was athome, and she
did much to stop the profuse bleed-
ing until a doctor arrived. Eight
stitches were necessary to close the
wound.
On Aug. 20th, Ian McCullough,
aged 3 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. A:
McCullough,. 10th con. of Bruce Tp.,
was run overby a waggon in the field
and diet] of internal injuries a few
hours later. The little fellow was
following. his father in the grain field
and had a tsring on the dog: It is pre -

s•Ivred fa hem. ,the father moved the
'-L arrt "ttr thexi stook, the wheel
passing over the little fellow's body,
the injuries itroving fatal.
The Port Elgin Times had the fol-
lowing: "On Thursday, while Mc -
•l, Lean Bros., of Bruce Tp., were en -1
deavoring to round up a bunch of their .
fine fat cattle .for shipment, ons of
the mimber, a big steer, became sud.
denly enraged and could not be con-
trolled. By much persistence and
help from neighbors he was finally
roped- While the McLean's thought
they had the animal fairly safe,
Htighie Archer was sitting on the
grass in front of the beast,while more
rope and help was sought. While is
this position the steer made a sudden
attack on Mr. McLean, jumping on
him. He was badly bruised about the
face, right arm and shoulder
great effort Mr. McLean managed to
get out of reach of the enraged ani-
mal. Fortunately the steer was de -
horned, otherwise Mr. McLean might
have been gored to death.
Capt. A. W. McNally, of Walkerton,
,has decided to re-enter Osgoode Hall
and complete his course in law, inter-
rupted by the war, in which he served
for several years.
The death, at Toronto, of Mr. Peter
Fryfogle, is reported, he having pass-
ed away after a short illness on Aug.
13• Mr. Fryfogle was born near
Belmore, and before moving to Tor-
onto lived for a number of years in
Wingham, where a brother, William,
and other relatives still reside.
'Albert Fitt, the Wingham man, who
was recently charged with bigamy in
Toronto, is again in the limelight.
This time he is arrested for threaten-
ing 'to take his wife's life. He has
written several threatening letters to
his lawful wife who resides in Wing -
ham with their family and whom he
deserted since returning from over-
seas. The fact that Fitt lost one of
his legs in the war accounts for the
lenient treatment he is receiving by
the authorities.
The people of Wingham and district •
heard with deep regret of the sudden
death on Friday morning, Aug. 22, of
Mable Kent, beloved wife of Mr. (t. p,.,
Smith, manager of the Bank of Hami-
lton. Mrs. Smith had been in her us-
ual health on the evening previous
to her, death, and during the night
,was stricken with paralysis and pass-
ed peacefully away on Friday morn-
ing. Mrs. Smith was a daughter of
the late Edwin Kent and was born in
Wingham and spent practically all of
her life there. Besides her husband
she is survived by one son, Kent
Smith, and one daughter, Miriam.

THE SPEED FIEND
I ,
(With apologies to Walt. Mason )
Some men who drive a motor car
are reckless of their speed and race
around the streets as though they
followed Gilpin,s steed. They care
nought for the rights of men, nor
laws of speed nor rules; but seeih to ,
think that those who walk are class-
ed among . the fools. Perchance a
corner they would turn —trio out-
stretched hand you'll find to warn
the- piker on the road—"Gosh dingit:
is he Mint." itThey whistle as they
blithely spin along their' merry way
and curse the traffic cop in blue who
dares to say them nay. Some dad
a dashin will occur, and friim the
wreckage stacked a gink: all covered
o'er with gore will gently be unpak-
ed. For damages he'll fila a suit,
and counsel he'll procure to argue
he'd a right .to live and walk the
streets secure- The bill of cost
against the town the judge will then
unload will , lehve a cherished (? )
monument to speedfiends of the road.
Now motorists who drive with care,
the moral's plain as day; -why tole-
rate the feckless wight who cares
not who he'd slay. These tura-Jehus
should be canned; their ears in storage
put, and they should always more be
forced the streets to walk on foot.

211111sOUS SHORTAGg OF
ANTHRACITE COAL.
Strictest Economy Necessary—Wood
Fuel Should be Used Wherever
Possible.
A ;survey of the coal situation by
the Cosnl fission of Conservation
proves that a eea1 shortage next -a-in-
ter,
in-
ter, and possibly next autanin, ai-
1 most a certainty,
Up to June:7th of the present year
the total production of anthracite w
only 33,3.49;500 net tons, as ,compared:`
with`42,533,000 toles in the corespond-
ing period. of 1918, a decrease of 9,-
500,000:tons, or 221Se'r cent. It is a
fair assumption that ,the production
during 1919 will •be les than 80,000,:
l)00_ Inns, whereas, thesproduerrOn i rI
1918 was 99,514;314 tons. If (big
prediction be verified there will li''a
shortage of7 1,000,000 tons, . or 20
per. cent. •While;. the, _ -preAtifratin is
falling off retail dealer.: in -the i_'11:t-
cd •States centinue: tc be deluged with
orders from customers who age
sistent upon prompt •deliveries.
The shortage• is due to a number
of causes, not the least of which is
the migration of tens of tohusands
of Jugo-Slays, Czecho-Slays, Hun-
garians, Poles and other Europeans
who are returning to Europe.
In addition, .if.4.theresits-such a sei
ious shortage, we May confidently. ex-
pect much higher prices for anthra-
cite. Therefore, the Commission of
Conservation advises consumers to
purchase their winter supply of hard_
coal at the earliest possible date. •
During July, the Commission cir-
culated the towns and villages of On-
tario and Quebec, inquiring as to sup-
plies of antharcite and prospects for
-the corning winter. The returns gen-
erally show very limited quantities on
hand, while the prospects for a winter
coal supply are decidedly pessimistic.
Experience • has shown that it is
altogether feasible to materially re-
lieve the coal shortage by a more ex-
tensive use of wood fuel •irt at least
the following directions: -
1. Farmers and -rural communities_
generally, within easy reach of wood
supplies, should make as general use
of this fuel as• possible, to relieve the
demands for co.
2. The general substitution of wood
for coal in furnaces and stoves during
early autumn and late spring, as well
as during mild weather in the winters
when only a moderate fire may be re-
quired. V. here wood is to be .burned
in a stove or furnace intended for coal
it will be found desirable to cover the
tt;ra partly with sheet iron or fire
brick, to refluce the draught. If this
is • hot done, the wood r is wasted; by
being consumed too fast, and, while
it inakes.a very hot fire in a furnace,
it may damage --the fire box.
3. The heating by wood, of church-
es,
hurc•h-
ts, lodge -rooms, halls, etc., where
warmth for onl}s-a limited p r - of
time may be necessary.
• 4..fu -•Aa ss-•easts_`ft---witr Fie quite
feasible to eek, ,out limited stores of
coal by burning wood in the day -time
reserving coal for_troiding. the fire
over_ --night.
5. Furnaces may be run low, keep -
.the house in general only warm
enough to prevent water pipes from
freezing, supplementing this by the
of wood their in stoves 'or. grate
to 'keep the living and dining rooms
comfortable:
7. A g'r'eat- -saving or fuel can be
aIc•s,mplished by making windows
and doors tight against the entrance
of cold air from the outside, through
the use of weather stripping, etc.;' al-
sd, by the insulation of furnaces and
pipes with coverings of- asbestos and
other suitable material.
