W E.ST F MUD.
We are sorry to chronicle the death
of two esteemed residents of this vicin-
ity during the past week. On Wednes-
day morning, 11th inst , the spirit of
Hiss Eva Wightman winged its flight to
the Better Land. She had been a great
sufferer for many months, but her suf-
fering was borne with Christian patience
and cheerfulness. The funeral on Thurs-
day, which was conducted by Rev. .1)1r.
Miller, was largely attended by sympath-
izing friends.
Again, on the 13th inst., the Grim
Reaper visited our community and
claimed the spirit of John Craig, who
for many years had been a very highly
esteemed resident of West Wawanosb.
The late Mr. Craig was born in Simcoe
county, seventy-three years ago. He
came to this neighborhood with his par-
ents when only twelve years of age and
had lived here ever since until called to
"cross the bar." He was a valued
member of the Methodist church at
Donnybrook, having long held the posi-
tion of steward and other important
positions therein. His remains, which
were followed to their last resting place
by one of the largest concourses ever
seen in this vicinity, were laid beside
those of his parents in Donnybrook
cemetery.
are under double straits—
strength to live and learn and
strength to grow—they must
have nourishment—not over-
loaded stomachs, but con-
centrated nutriment to aid
nature during the growing
period.
The wonderful record of
Scott's Emulsion as a body-
builder has been proved for
three generations. It strengthens
he bones, muscles and sinews;
hands the hotly, creates energy
and agar; preiellts and relieves
colds and fortifies the lungs.
Millions of delicate and un-
developed children have been
made strong, sturdy and hearty

NO TAX REFORM.
Tax reform wins? Not yet • Sir James
Whitney will have none of it. In the
face of all the evidence the demand for
a differential rate between land and im-
provements has been sidetracked. The
ratepayers of municipalities may not
even have a chance to say whether they
would prefer to have the burden of tax-
ation placed on the land.
The select committee of the Legis-
lature appointed to investigate pro-
posed amendments to the assessment
act met at the Parliament buildings,
Toronto, on Thursday, and whitewashed
the present law. There will'te no tax
reform, but instead the Chairman of
the Committee (Hon. W, J. Hanna).
will cause to be sent out to every mun-
icipality "a circular -letter pointing out
by means of general instructions and
concrete examples, set out in the cir-
cular, how buildings should be assessed
in keeping with the assessment act."
The committee, by a majority vote, af-
firmed that a similar committee in 1910
was correct in disapproving proposals
to give municipalities the right to say
whether they would assess buildings at
a lower rate than land
The committee, however, did approve
of the repeal of section 30 of the present
act, providing for a special assessment
of farm land in town and villages, and
recommended that the -income exemp-
tion in cities be raised from $1,200 to
$1,500, and in towns and villages from
$960 to $1,000.
KiN[.OSS.
Rachel Buchanan, wife of Mr. George
Gaunt, who passed away on December
10th, aged 74 years was one of the
pioneers of the township, having lived
on the farm on which she lived for
forty-seven years. She came to the
township as a bride, sixteen years of
age when all the neighborhood was a
wilderness. She was large hearted and
of a kindly disposition. She was the
mother of a large family, a number of
children passing away in infancy.
The children surviving are Donald, on
his homestead in Saskatchewan; Mrs.
Geo. Davie, of Lethbridge and Mrs.
(Rev.) Johnston, of Victoria.
To Raise Newspaper Postage Rates.
Newspaper publishers throughout the
Dominion are deeply concerned over
the proposal of the P. 0. Department
to raise the rates of postage on papers
mailed from the office of publication.
At present each paper has a "free"
zone, but outside of that its issues are
carried at a quarter of a cent per pound
to all Canadian points, It is understood
that the proposal is to raise, it may be,
this rate to four cents a pound, a rate
which, as admitted in a recent confer-
ence on the matter, would "put some
papers out of business." Whatever the
increase, it will undoubtedly mean an
advance in the subscription rates of all
newspapers, a matter which at once
touches the pocket of every household.
The publishers are doing their best to
show why this serious increase should
not take place, but are not hopeful of
the Department being converted to
their arguments.
The last rail in the Winnipeg -Coch-
rane section of the National Transcon-
tinental Railway is to be lard this week,
and a wheat train may be rushed east
from Winnipeg before the end of the
year.
LIVE STOUR MARKETS.
Toronto. Dee. 23. Only five car -loads
of livestock were received at the West-
ern Cattle Market this morning, and
trading was consequently dull and the
buying only in scattered lots.
Sheep and lambs and calves met with
a fair demand and were sold out early,
but the dealing in cattle was slow,
and there were r few left unsold in
the morning Prices generally were
firm at last week's quotations.
The receipts at the yards were 5 cars
containing 105 head of cattle, 87 sheep
and Iambs and 53 calves.

Who Got the $5.
A Halton county fruit -grower is auth-
ority for a story which throws an in-
teresting sidelight on the high cost of
living problem. He says the Winnipeg
Manager of a fire insurance company
opened a barrel of Ontario apples, and
found beneath the lid the following note
from the farmer: "I got seventy-five
cents for this barrel of apples; how
much did you pay for -it?" The insur-
ance man paid $5.75. But the farmer
and the consumer are now wondering
who got the other $5. °
