meet Southampton iss the semi-finals.

Mr. R. C. Copeland purchased last
spring a setting of thirteen Ancona
eggs, from a dealer in Clinton from
which he got seven cockerels and five
pullets. One pullet has commenced

This is certainly something unusual, as
generally pullets are from six to eight
months' old before they commence lay-
ing.

The 33rd Battalion is now thirty over
strength, Those who are not needed
to make up the requisite number for
this unit will be drafted into the 70th

hundred and fifty men.
Named Magistrate.
The Provincial Government has
appointed Mr. M. Lockhart. of Auburn,
police magistrate for the villages of
•Blyth, Brussels and Wroxeter, also the
townships of Howick, Morris, Turn -
berry, East and West Wawanosh, Ash-
field, Grey, Hutlet and Colborne, all of
which are in the riding of North Huron.
Mr. Lockhart has had a great deal of
experience in municipal affairs, also as
Iicense commissioner, and his appoint-
ment will meet with general favor.
No Merger Allowed.
With regard to the tentative propos,
ats for the amalgamation of • the Royal
Bank of Montreal and the Bank of
Hamilton, which have been. ' placed
before him, the Minister of rins.,ice,
Hon. W. T. White, stated Friday even-
ing that after giving the matter very
careful consideration he has reached
the conclusion that as both the banks in
question are strong, favorably known
and wall -established institutions, and
are actual and potential competitive
factors in the Canadian banking field,
it would not be in the public interest
that he should give the consent re-
quired from him under the terms of
the bank act, and the interested parties
have been notifled accordingly.

INTERMISSION
Decrease in Letters.
Since the imposition Of the war tax
on letters and postcards the volume of
mail matter posted in Canada has de-
creased by about 30 per cent. The war.
tax was expected to add a little more
than 50 per cent. to the postoffice
revenue, but in consequence of the
economy practised by the public in the
matter of saving on letters and posts
Bards, under the higher rate, the in-
creased revenue has been considerably
less than anticipated. For the first
four months of the operation of the
wet tax the department's revenue has
increased by $1,100,000, or about 30 per
cent, as compared with the correspond-
ing -period of last year. The large part
of this incnaaase, however, is due to the
sale of stamps for cheques, money
orders, etc,

former well-known and highly esteemed
resident of Turnberry. Mr. Hawk had

proving in health, Mr. Hawk lived in
Turnberry for a number of years and

d cath on the same day of his brother,

ing tet write a letter when he died sud-

YOUR NEWSPAPER.
There is one stronghold in every com-
munity that the mail order house has.
not been able to reach. This is the
home town newspaper. In the face of
all kinds of bribery, the home news-
paper has stood its grounds for forty,
years and steadily refused the adver-
tising patronage of the mail order
houses. Right now millions are being
spent by the "catalogue kings" in a
continuous attempt to secure as an ally
the home town newspaper. But the
country editor is standing solid by his
home community. He refuses to "sell
out" to the enemy. He turns down all
kinds of inducement. Let us thinks of
this the next time we are tempted to
dicker with the enemy of our home
town. Let us take the stand taken by
our newspaper, Let us refuse to be
bribed by a seeming bargain.
