"What a splendid ideal I'm so glad you made me think of
it. Christmas won't be such a lonely clay after all, Long
Distance will give mother the feeling that I'm not so far away!"
That's just what Long Distance is going to do for distant
relatives, sons, daughters, sweethearts, this Christmas day. It's
going to make the "Merry Christmas real—bring the missing

The New Era is desirous of giving this com-
munity the fullest possible service_as a com-
munity newspaper, and it is quite fair to ex-
pect that with the reasonable co-operation of
each part of the community, something worth
while can be accomplished.
A few useful and helpful forms of co-
operation might include: Regular correspond -
ants, in each surroundng village and township,
who will write detailed accounts of all events
in their respective districts. Men and women
who do this interesting work are performing a
real service to the locality in which they live
and, at the same time; help to make this the
finest community in the Province. Already
The New Era has correspondents at several
points whose services are appreciated by the
,

districts,

The school teachers can help in developing
interest among the pupils and parents by,send
ing • in school items for publication,, such as
honour rolls, promotions, etc, Ministers. might
add to the value and interest of their work by
sending in details of weddings, etc,
Merchants and business filen generally
would do well to use the advertising columns
of The New Erre to telt their' customers and
prospective customers the Hews of fresh goods
or the latest styles they have to offee, Even
the smallest store in the community can im-
prove trade by thoughtful and informative ad-

assistance possible in the 'preparation of copy

What we want is that The New Era

It is a very rare occurrence in
Ontario that the winter weather 10
not cold enough to stake plenty of
lee ' on our lakes, rivers, small
eti'eams, and ponds. We can, there -

MANY WITNESSES.
Judge Dickson urge$ upon the coriu-
sel engaged and the parties to avoid the
enormous expense—thousands ofdol-
lars—that would be involved in the
continuation of fhis ligation. There
were over 60 witnesses in attendance.
After much negotiation, the five plain-
tiffs withdrew their. actions and paid
their own costs, and the defendants'
counsel regretted ail alleged charges
agalust the plaintiffs in connection with
the shooting of the defendant in June,
1920. -This result was approved by the
court and by the great assemblage of
residents of the Township of Ashfield,
where the happenings occurred. The
people of the township were sundered
between the two sides and took great
interest id the matter.
Wnt. Proudfoot, K.C., acted for the
plaintiffs, and J. M. McEvoy, K. C. for
the defendants.
THE RYAN CASE.
After about three hours deliberation
the jury gave Orval Ryan, the plain-
tiff $150. This judgment arose from
three days hearing of an action brought
by Ryan against Wm. McClure, of Dun-
gannon, for malicious arrest. Last
summer, McClure, who 'conducts a
store, missed some $200 in cash, and
suspecting Ryan caused his arrest. In
the magistrate's court Ryan was dis-
missed. The courtroom was crowded
throughout the session.

wined it will be necessary for the
pr,tlece•s nl' milli to got the natural
beat out of tlte, milk as quickly as
possil',te atter it is abstracted Irma
the cows, This will mean more effi-
cient Methods of cooling than most
fanners have Lo -day. Then would lee
be required by all dairy farmers, and
they would have to secure it either
from nearby bodies of water; if pres-
ent, or through some suitable organ-
izetine shipping it in as referred to
before, The superior • article selling
at better prices would likely pay the
producers tea ship in ice if it were
necessary, Many farmers now have
a household refrigerator or small
cold storage plant for keeping the
daily food for the table pure, sweet,
and frgsh, and never fail to store ice
for this purpose alone whether need-
ed for other purposes or not. They
find by experience that this practice
is worth while. If much milk is pro-
duced on the farm, so much greater
the need for storing some ice.
The Problem Deserves Consideration.
The•prohlem of storage should he
considered carefully and plans decid-
ed upon well in advance of the har-
vesting of the ice, as it may be neces-
sary to make /epalrs.to the present
storage lenuf, or a now one may be
needed. Construction work on the
farm is more easily and cheaply clone
In good weather, so it is desirable
to get the ice storage ready for the
next crop of ,Ice before the whttt•y
weather begins, or just as soon as
the fall work will permit. It may
be necessary to do some of the work
right away, e.g., concrete work, and
leave the rest until later, in all prob-
ability until the freeze-up drives pieta
and teams off the land.
Plans of Storage Vary.
The kind 'of storage for the ice
crop will vary with the conditions on
the farm, and the ideals and tastes
of the farmer himself. One thing is•
certainly true, namely, that the stor-
age`need not be elaborate in con-
struction and costly In order to be
efficient. Many farmers have used
for years such inexpensive and sim-
ple storages as a large bin made of
old boards and planks and located in
some well sheltered place, ''inch as
under an open shed, in mow of barn,
or to corner of woodshed, a simple
single wall lean-to on the shady side
of a building, an old abandoned silo,
or any eonvenieut enclosure well pro-.
tested from the sun's direct rays. The
form and style of the storage for the
foe does not matter materially pro-
vided the following named conditions
are faithfully fulfilled. These con-
ditions apply to any kind of ice
storage house, and require special
emphasis, as usually some of thein
are frequently overlooked. Note care-
fully what they are: Protection from
sun's rays, plenty of some material
a poor conductor of heat about the
ice on all sides, top and bottom, good
circulation of air over the ice bin
i.e.,between the top of the lee end
any roof that may be above it. In
other. words religiously avoid the
closed attic or loft condition in hot
weather because stagnant air under
a closed roof becomes very hot, and
so heat will naturally pass down
through the covering over the ice
and melt it very fast.
Good Drainage a Necessity.
Another condition is good drain-
age, either natural or artificial, un-
der theice pit, as water backing up
or failing to get away rapidly from
the ice melts It quickly. Another, air
should be kept from 'getting in at
the • bottom. Still another, cakes of
Ioe should be packed in the house on
a cold frosty day and n0 sawdust
should be put between them; only
around the outsides next the walls,
but small openings between calces
should be filled ars well as possible
with dry snow or fine pieces of ice.
The idea ofthis, is to get rid of the
air spaces and secure as far as,pos-
sible a solid block condition of the
lee, Do net freeze blocks together
with water. Whenever any ice is re-
moved during ,the summer dry saw-
dust, or whatever covering is Used,
should be at once put back over the
ice. If these conditions ale well pro
Exeter, Dec. 17.—For the third time
ih recent months burglars descended on
the village last night. This time they
centered their operations on the gener-
al store of Jones &May, which .they
entered by a rear w'lidow after prying
apart iron bars. They thoroughly ran-
sacked the store and took with them a
large quantity of merchandise, the
exact extent of which has not yet been
calculated.
The intruders made 'g careful selecT-
ion of footwear, fitting themselves out
with rubber boots and others of various
kinds. They helped , themselves to the
best of a stock of rainc0,,ts and finished
the job by picking out some ties and
shirts. They went through empty cash
drawers, tossing them upon the shelves
aftbrwards, The only cash they could
locate was $1,50 in a box. They dis-
naitledtheir caps in some orange boxes
in the middle of the store and amused
themselves by throwing oranges around
for time.
Although the night was wet, the bur-
glars -left no tracks. They are beleived
to have betn professional theives.

• All weak backed, suffering women
should use Doan's Kidney Pills on the
first sign of any back weakness and there-

liable to follow.
Mrs. jrllia McIUiunota, North Sydney,

Pain in my back I did not know what

This, in turn, adds to the extent of
employment, Or suppose you :are a
stockholder, officer employee of 8
bank, ¥ou know that the more money
there is put into circulation In tine
town the more prosperous it will be for
your institution . Money spent in, the
town gets Into the pockets of the pec
pie, and the more It Is turned over and
kept in circulation the more benefit it
does In the town.
It 11086 not matter whether you are
a business man, lawyer, doctor, minister
clerk, investor, capitalist, educator or
financial agent: 11 your interest is in
Clinton it Is toyour advantage 10 sup-
port the town in every way and 60
your buylog in the town, It is simply a
question of arithmetic, If one-tenth
or one-quarter of the money is spent '
;,„r
out of the town it means that the town
is only nitre -tenths or three-guarters
what it might be.
This argument comes with peculiar
force at this -season of the year when
the money that Is being cpent, is need-
ed in Clinton. The citizen who thinks
th.'ilt business' conditions ought to be
txntproved, and then buys in outside
cities, near or far, artclies, that could .
just as well be bought in Clinton, is not
helping Clinton business. The money
that would increasethe circulation of
money here, and infuse new 'life Into
business, when it is spent' out of the
town simply goes to make prosperity
elsewhere to the detriment of local
business. Money spent at home' gels-
into
elsinto many channels, and many pockets,
and makes it easier for everybody.„The
moral !s, btry at home.
The Prime Minster Ilan held his place effect, through the war and peace con -
at the head of the British government ference, right down to his latest ach-
through the stress of war and the storm ievement in settling the Irish question,
of reconstruction, passing through for years one of the political plague
crises that always seemed like wrecking spots of the world and death of many as
him, and yet coming out stronger than Statesman. What will be Lloyd George's
ever, What career in the history of the next? Cromwell, Pitt, Disraeli and Glad
world can offer' a parallel of achieve- stone are names to conjure with in
meat? C onsider it froin the time he was British history, but what of Lloyd
curbing the power of the House of George? Will his name, go down the
Lords and putting old age pensions into ages as the greatest of then all?
Beware of False Fm's.
Probably the most beautiful of all
furs, is ermine, which is used to trim
the state robes -
What kind of animal wears t13is
glorious white pelt with the little
black tip to its tail? 'Surely it must
be something very rare indeed.
As a matter of fact, ermine is
nothing n10r0- or less than the fur of
the stoat, the little brown, slim -
bodied beast that one may see any
day during a country walk. In the
norterly regions he changes color ou
the approach of winter, in order to
match the snow.
There are other furs with high-
sounding nameswhich are really
rabbit -skins. "Seal coney”. and
"coney sable" are made i'iom such
skins, the fur being specially treated
In order to make it resemble that of
more highly -prized creatures.
Even the household cat is used by
the. furrier, and so good Is her coat
that it may be worked up to imitate
some of the costliest furs.
It was discovered some years ago
that common short -haired cats grew
long, thick coats in cold climates.'
The idea was taken up by one man,
who made a large sum of money by
exporting cats to the island of l.anl-
chatka, in Asiatic Russia, where he
bred then. for the sake of their
skins.
