The Clinton News Record, 1920-4-22, Page 5ft1Jl SIMY, AP13lhi 22nd, 1$20; Of Interest to You and Nle Clinton needn't worry about the. tax rate, St Mary's roto is 29'% mills and Strathr'oy's, 44 mills, "Th vote or not to vote," on anoth• •er- temperance referendum, was the question in 'the Legislature yeater. .deY. Some fashionable people :are trying, to bring down the cost 'of clothing by wearing overalls and print, But then denim and print cost nearly as much nowadays as serge and silk used to do, Detroit housewives boyeotted the purchase of potatoes on account 'of the advance in price and thus brought it down somewhatBut where is this boycott business going to stop?' One has to eat something. * ,p * A man was shot while taking up the collection in a church in NeW ;Fork on Sunday ;morning. Many a man feels exasperated when he sees the collection plate beginning to cir- 'eulate at , church but it seems a bit drastic to shoot the man who carries it, * * * We aro not scientists but we give it as our opinion, which may be tak- -en for what it is worth, that if the time spent in "listening•for a mess - .age from Mars" werespent in clean- ing up the back lot and getting the •garden plot in order the returns -would be quicker and more evident. * * . *. A Wingham young man advertised in an Eldorada, I11., paper for a wife sand a week or so ago along came a young lady to fill the bill. What is the natter with the young ladies of ;Wingham that a young man has to ;go so far afield in search of a wife? Or is it the fault of the young man? * .* * * Why shouldn't the members of the Farmer -Labor Govermneet wear •: overalls ? Come to think of itit'might . be the bent thing in the world. They would feel at home in their working garb and get right down to it. At- torney -General , Raney mightn't be " -able to throw off all self-consciouness just at. first. ** * It would be well for municipal coun- ails to beware how they treat depu- tations and persons who present themselves before then.. A man .appearing before the council of York township the other clay not liking _,'the way he was received whipped out . a revolver and nourished it around while all the members ran for cover. * * * s,• Canada's Postal War Tax will be ••continued during this year. Last year' the tax yielded $6,000,000. The stamp tax on commercial paper, such :as cheques, etc., brought in a rev- enue of $10,000,000. The railways .are demanding an increase for the -carrying of mails which will amount . to $4,000,000, g, uautity as they would cut c4. the whole if placed oh the market earlier. It as said also that the, x'ecent jump in the price of sugar was caused by the fact that the raw sugar market is in the hands of speculators. If a beard of eommelee or any other ors g'anizetien can replete theirs( things it ought to get busy, . It ought to be made a criminal offence to spec - elate in food stuffs. CountU News Dr, irlma Kennedy of Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, has been visiting her parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Kennedy of Wingham, recent- ly. Union church, . Grey, held ,iia• an- niversary services on Sunday week, the Rev. R. Fulton Irwin, of Lucle now being the preacher, • On the following Tuesday evening Mr. Irwin gave his lecture on "Ireland and the Irish." The proceeds of the lecture were given for Armenian Relief. Goderich has already over $5,000. collected • towards its memorial fund. A canvas of the town was made on the anni"ersary of Vimy Ridge and about $2,000 was collected. • ,Dungannon Is said to need a butch- er, baker, tailor, milliner and a black- smith. Nothing is said about:a can- dlestick maker but they are agitat- ing for hydro. up there and probably do not wish to get any business t� the village under false pretences. Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Stackhouse of Blyth have returned to their home' after spending the winter, with, their son, Dr, Stackhouse of• Ridgetown. Reeve Cutt of Blyth has removed to Goderich, where he will in future crake his home. It is the intention of Reeve Cutt to .retain his offiee as chief municipal officer of Blyth until the end of the year. The marriage of Dr. Douglas God- win was :solemnized in New York on April 15 to Miss Ethyl Mairs, daugh- ter of Mr. arid Mrs. James Mairs of that city. Dr. Godwin is the son of Mrs. (Rev.) Godwin, 623 Maitland street, London, and a brother of Mrs. (Rev.) R. J. McCormick' of Blyth. He is a graduate of Ann Arbor Den- tal College.

Especially as the gardening ,and bowling season is on. * * * * The wearing of blue jeans by people not hitherto accustomed to wearing them will result in the boost- ing of the price of blue jeans to those who have been wearing them and who have found the price high en - tough before, . Most people have plenty of old clothes, the wearing of •which would serve the end sought .even better than the -purchasing of Errand -new jeans.. •, * 5 * The Toronto Star twits 14Ir, Craw - /ors] for his action' in connection with Mr. McCreary's bill in the legisla- ture the other day but says that you -could hardly expect anything 'better -considering Mr. Crawford's opposi- tion to the Banish-the=bar policy five years ago. Will The Star kindly tell us where all the advocates of the "Abolish -the -bar" policy were the •other• day. They did not give Mr. McCreary much help, either. h * * The Goderich Signal says Wing: spam might have something to say . about 'Clinton becoming county town in the event of 'Goderich becoming a city as Wingham has something on us in regard to population, We are mot admitting the superiority of the northern town as regards population, not until:- after •the next census is taken,. but anyway the -population of (Clinton will no. doubt double by' the time Goderich attains to cityhood, There is no question as regards Clin- ton's central location. All roads in the county lead into Clinton. The housewives of Detroit refused to buy potatoes while the price re- rnained so high and kept climbing and the effect was that' the price dropped --a trifle, The law of supply and demand would be a fair and just law if, it were allowed to work out, Rut pebple cannot stop eating, thought snany have had to stop eating the staple articles which used to form their daily bill of fare, While the tgrrice of potatoes was soaring in De- troit it is stated -that in •tlie freight yards in that city many cars of 'po- tatoes were standing while speculat- ors traded them. back and forth, one car ehanging hands ne less than six :times in the course of a day. This is the sort of thing that makes un- rest and dissatisfaction, No lair- .minded person grudges a fair profit sto those 'who hart ;stuffs or dr handle goods, food y goods or anything also, .but this speculating in food is a per- nicious evil, What makes it worse is the fact that with such a coinmod- .ity as potatoes their food value is tdetei'ioteting every day and in a few weeks they Will be unfit for :food.

M. Woods, Bayfield, Ont, July, 1st, 1920 ORDER YOUR SUPPLY.OF Scranton Coal In purchasing the Holloway Forbes Coal Business, we secured what we call a straight line connection, with the two great American Coal Min- ing Institutions, namely: The D. L. & W. COAL CO. who own and control the famous Scranton Coal fields, and furnish us with their STANDARD ANTHRA- CITE. The D. & H. COAL CO., who send us their celebrated LACK- AWANA COAL. By a straight line connection we mean that we are their sole agents for the cbmmutity, and although an imposter may claim to be distribut- ing their coal, it is an utter impos- sibility, and only goes to show that he is willing to admit that we have the best available. New dealers can only resort to jobbers, which means that the qual- ity may be irregular, as the coal barons will not take on any new dealer no matter how well equipped he may be, much less a Municipal Coal Yard.'
