The town council has decided to submit to vote of the ratepayers a bylaw W provide money for distribu- tion of hydro -electric power. The amount named in the bylaw is $36,000, of tide amount $5,000 ')zing for an electric pimp. This decision was reached at the adjourned meeting of the council on Wednesday evening. At the regular meeting on Friday evening several of the members ex- pressed dissatisfaction with the cir- cumstances under which they were asked to deal with the matter. Reeve Muunings spoke of the conflicting statement. that had been made by different representatives of the Com- mission on their visite to the district, and Mayor Reid spoke in a similar strain, intimating that there was no definiteness in the promises concern- ing Maitland River power. Councillor Vaoatter remarked that somethingare more that. Mr. Beck's word ws - quired sea guarantee, and Councillor Laithwaite echoed this sentiment. The meeting at Clinton on Tuesday yielded nothing more definite in the way of any provision for Maitland power, and yet the council on Wed- nesday adopted, provisionally, the bylaw to raise 51195,088) in connection with the Niagara proposition. This, too, in face of the fact that no estimate was before the council of the cost of the distribution plant, such ore was promised by the Commission. It must be said the proceeding was decidedly unbusinesslike. Having mentioned Councillor Van- atter'e name above, it 1s only fair to say he was not present at the Wed- nesday night meeting. It may be that the council, despair- ing of getting anything definite from the Commission, wished to get rid of the respoosibtlil y of dealing definitely wether with au buld{ng.• machinery, plant with the question by throwing it on cu pied and node use of aa a foreedd. o r here- and Improvements now on said lands ret or- the ratep.ayers.

Another bylaw Met will be voted on at the same time is in connection with M. W. Howell's factory proposition, noted in last week's Signal. Mr. Howell, representing the Misner Manilla:timing Co., asks tor a fixed assessment of $1,900 on the old tannery property, on which he is establishing a factory for the making of toilet articles. The industry is a desirable one, And although at present not of large` propos tions the concession Mr. Howell asks is a small one.

The glad time of giving, of loving generosity, is again with us. In these days when such multitudes of "things" to give are spread so attractively before us. it is more than ever necessary that we hold tenaciously to the truth that the value of a real gift is In "Not what we give, but what we share. For the gih without the giver is bare " That gift is poor. no matter how cosily. which carnes not with rt love and kindly thought A mere conventional ex- change of gifts is a travesty on the spirit of this joyous festival. On that first Chnstmas. long ago, the toy that overflowed the bounds of the Celestial City and was carried to the sad earth beneath was born of the true spirit of giving sacnflce Madly. eagerly made. for love. The Father gave His only Son. the Son renounced the honors and glory of His heavenly tote. the angels yielded their greatest treasure, -the Joy of Heaven... that sinful men [night share in the purity and peace of God And the toy born of this loving sacrifice reached even to the earth. in that triumphant song whose echo has never quite lei our v.orid.

First, tbos that do not pay for their feed and the labor of taking care of them ; second, those that just pay their way, and. last, those that are profitable cows, and pay more than their ex pensee, thus giving you some en coureeement for keeping them. Fro the farmer's point of view 1 here eboul be only one class of cows, the one that pay a dividend over expenft` Take the cow that produces th hundred pounds .yf butter per yea At twenty cents per pound this wool bring 5.60. Let this $90 be interes on your outlay at six per cent. Th outlay would be one thousand dollars Then take the cow producing six hundred pounds of butter per year The outlay should be double that of the first cow, as the prodoction is double or two thousand dollars per year. Now answer a few questions honestly. We will say the first ie a poor cow and the latter a good cow. Does it take twice as much to feed the good cow as it does the poor one? Everything goes to prove that the opposite is moreoften the case. Again. dose it take twice as much time to attend to the good row as the poor one? Everything and everybody says. "NO."
