The. finance committee of the town
to learn at first hand what is new in the
of Clinton, announced its decision, to

On Tuesday in the same room a rep-

new ideas (new at least in Ontario with
its rock-bound clinging to tories and
grits) to provide .easier times and grea-
ter prosperity for all. Again, as far as
Clintonians were concerned it was an
empty hall. '
There were three persons attend-
ing from Clinton — one was the pro-
jectionist, and one was a reporter.,

The Printed Word
An incident reported by a Van-
couver correspondent' is to the point,
"Some time ago," he writes, "the trees
around my house needed trimming, es-
pecially at the top; and my wife, after
the manner of wives, decided it would
be better for me not to risk my neck so
many 'feet above ground level, but to
hire a man to do the topping,
"The man I engaged was a lively
Dane, and very energetic. He said;
`I yust luff vurking, but ,every time I
say I Tuff to vurk everybody say: Huh,
you must be crazy or else a foreigner."
