Certainly it is handier to go to an election poll on a fine day than it is when the 'snow is blowing waist-deep on all the concessions and side roads, Yet, I am not in favor of early elections. I Prefer the stormy ones. Election day used to be an occasion to look forward to. Our elections were always held on a Monday, and Sunday while we toasted our stocking- ed feet beside the old glowing parlor stove . . . the thought of the coming election was an incentive for argu- ment. Neighbor Higgins used to come plowing through the snow on that first Sunday'in January . . . full of fight The tax rate ....the drain on the bast side road , the way Jem Cluddy pushed through that by-law about dogs worrying sheep after his flock had been riddled . . the township clerk's expense account when he went to a convention in Toronto , . . and so on. When the argument was dying down all they had to do was look up the financial statement, The flames of argument would flare again. About five o'clock Neighbor Hig- gins would start talking about going home. He would ponderously knock the ashes out of his pipe and get up from the chair, You could plainly see that with each movement of his body he was' racking his brain for some excuse to stay and argue a little long- er. The repairs to the township hall! . Fathe'r would rise to the bait and the argument would start all over again. tti Mother would get up' from the easy chair in the corner where she was sit- ting and go to the kitchen. When the sounds of the kitchen fire being stirred started to, come back to the parlour, Higgins would start talking louder as if to cover up the culinary noises. The argument would wax hotter and hot- ter until finally mother would an- nounce that supper was ready. With a great 'show of starting for home , . . our argumentative neighbor would finally be persuaded to stay for the evening meal. The discussion on mun- icipal politics was continued right through until the dessert was finished and the chairs pushed out from the table. Finally it would be closed as we started to chore . . . and Negih- bor Higgins went home. Mother Nature seemed to aways manage to muster up a blustering snowstorm for election day. The drifts would be slanted from fence to fence . . . a smooth, white barrier. Early in the morning the candidate from our concession would have his team out plowing the road. How careful he was on election day not to plug up the laneway of any of his friends! It was said that he carried a broom on that day and he would stop and sweep out the laneways. Our, voting place was at the town- ship hall. The women of the township didn't spend much time in politics in those days. The township hail was us- ually so filled with smoke of strong, smelly pipes that one of the fair sex Clearance of Men's and Boys' Overcoats, Suits, Sweaters, Pants, Leather Coats, Windbreakers, Winter Underirear including Stanfield's and Penman's Shirts, Drawers and Combinations, all on sale at Reduced' PriCes, It will pay you well to stock up on Men's and Boys' Wear at our Money.. Saving Prices. The Indians remain on the top of the heap in the Intermediate "W' group. Monday night they tacked an- other scalp to their belts when they disposed of the Walkerton team 6 to 3 to make it four wins in a row. They have now defeated every club in the group. The ice was sticky for the first per- iod, and the play was not as good, on this account, as in the two previous games here, Many passes missed due to the ice condition and the players engineered their plays with difficulty. Foster came through with three goals to be the top scorer. Two of his goals were from beautiful passes by Proctor, the other from Sailor John- ston. Cordick, Nichol and English were on the tally list with a goal each. Walkerton had the help of some of last years Paisley team, Grant, Pad- don, Dudgeon and Wr,pthington. At the end of the first frame the score was a tie 1 all. The second per- iod was the big scoring ,period five goals being netted, Wingham four and Walkerton one. Cordick and Nich- ol scored the first in almost record time 33 seconds. They want 'in right from the face off. Bonny Foster notched two this period both on pas- ses from Procter which were beauti- fully laid down. Nichol got the other one while Cordick was off. He got a break away and he went down like a flash to beat Caruso. The third period was probably the best hockey. The ice was a little firmer, In less than two minutes of play English made it 6 to 2 when he went down alone. A minute later Grant scored on a pass from Doughty and this was the last goal of the game. Both teams lost some great chances in the final period with the Indians having the edge in the play, The game was very clean only two penalties being handed out by Tory, Gregg.

The the blanket of smoke fog. Many of the older men will recall the scene in a voting place on election day. A box stove was •kept ' at a red hot heat all day long. "The poll of- ficials usually smoked like demons. The thought of a whole day's pay sitting, at tables influenced the most of them to buy several cigars and it was considered More or less of a duty with them to smoke the whole lot. The candidate's workers were kept busy all day hauling in the older men to vote. We often wondered how many of the candidate's who were drawn to the polling 'places . . ever voted for the candidates who brought them in. Distant cousins of the would be councillors would totter in to the poll- ing booth. The hour of tension came when the ballots were being counted. 'Men with snowy fur coats would sit around on the seats at the back of the ball and listen to the droning of the voices as Yorkshire swine breeders have given indications that they are also planning an exhibit. Some 4500 acres of land. have been selected and approved by the executive of the Ontario Plowmen's Association. Incidentally, the Ontario Plowmen's Association regard the site as one of the finest they have ever had. Situat- ed in Hallett township, with head- quarters on the W. L. Whyte farm, the land, is fertile and very adaptable to the purposes of the plowing match. It has all ben generously donated for the duration of the plowing match without charge by the owners. Staging a plowing match in Huron this year represents a great deal of work by men who for the most part are farmers and who have plenty of ordinary farm problems to worry them. At a time when labor is scarce they are undertaking the staging of the match, and each one of them is determined that he will do his share A Way to Serve... and a Way to the votes were tabulated. So many for so and so . . and so many for this man . . and finally they were count- ed. The hours of quiet was broken. The clerk would telephone to the other polling places and the election results figured up within a space of about two hours . . , and then we faced the trip back home in the teeth of a Jan- uary gale, It was fun however . . . and served to break the monotony of a long winter.

On October 13, 14, 15 and 16, Huron county will nifty host to thous- ands of people as the International Plowing Match is staged on 'a site in. Hullett township. The question may be asked, "Why should there be a plowing match dur- ing war-time?" It is a fair question deserving a fair answer'. The Inter- national Plowing Match this- year has a mainoth job to do, Not only will it be encouraging young men to plow, but it will also be 'the means of dem- onstrating to the farm public the ways and means being adopted by all those interested in agriculture to cope with present conditions. Indications are that the farm machinery demonstration in ion will be the largest in the history of the match, Not only will the farm machinery Companies be patronizing the Inter. national but the various .govertintent agencies will be making the best of the opportunity to show Ontario what they are doing for 'the farmer. There are also indications that the various breed associations in the country, In. 'eluding the Holstein and Aytsitire clubs, will sponsor educational 'exhib,, These huge British orders for eggs at h price ranging between 28,79e and 32.12c per dozen, Grade A-Large, at Canadian sea- board, and the Dominion Govern- ment subsidy of, 3c per dosen on Grade A-Large bought for export, have put a definite "floor" under Canadian egg prices. Unless we miss our' guess by a mighty Wide margin, Winter and Spring. elcg prices, ' this. year, will hold at least 7c and probably itle per dozen above :those of a year ago, That's a paying difference, and it Appears likely to continue. o.

INDIANS DOWN THE TRANSPORTS 10 - 3 Indians Ran in Five Goals in Last Eight Minutes of Play Wingham Red Indians kept their unbeaten record intact at Hanover Friday night as 'they whipped the Hanover Transports 10-3. The game was very much closer than the score would indicate, five goals in the last eight minutes of play giving the Tribe their wide margin. After the teams had split a pair of goals in the first period the Indians got the edge at the end of the middle frame by 3-2. With eight minutes of play to go in the last period it still looked like anybody's game with Wingham 4n front 5-3, Then Han- over fell apart at the seams and the Red. Indians ran in five tallies. The Wingham crew had just a lit- le bit better finnish around the net which had a lot to do with them get- ting the advantage. Five of the Wing- ham goals came with Hanover a man short. Two of thein in the last three minutes found. two Hanover players doing time in, the cooler. The game was fast and strenuous and showed signs of a scrap now and then. However, Referee Bell kept the contest well in hand, thumbing the offenders to the penalty box at the first sign of pugnacity. Wingham, had the better of the play in the first period but just could not beat O'Brien, bespectacled goalkeeper of the Transports. Hanover ran into a lot of hard luck around the nets in the second period and the same thing held true in the first half of the final frame. Then with about eight minutes to go in the last period Wingham ran in five tallies, Nichol fired home three of them and assisted on another. Two of his goals were unassisted. The teams: Wingham—Goal, Hyslop; defence, Small, English; centre, Cordick; wings, G. Johnson, Nichol; alternates, Foster, Procter, W. Johnson, Worthy.
