U. F. 0. HAS SOCIAL TIME:
The .first of a series of social ev-
enings which have been arranged for
by the Clinton -branch of the U. F. 0.
was, field in the office of the County
Representative on Thursday evening
last .the Goderich township members
being responsible for the program;'
Misses, Wise, Lobb, Hibbs and Trick
contributed instrumental selections,
Mr. and Mrs. Ii, Snyder sang, as al-
so did Mr. Clarence .Potter, and Mrs.
Snyder and Mr. F. Schwanz contribut-
ed readings. Mr. Stothers occupied the
chair and performed the duties of
the position very acceptably. After
the program the ladies of, the com-
panyerved lunch and a pleasant so-
cial el'ening was spent. Tho Tucker -
smith members will provide the pro-
gram for the next social evening,
which will probably be held early in
January.
REAL PUBLIC SPIRIT.
A Mitchell councillor declares he
will be in the field for re-election the
coming year, if there is an election.
but would not take a seat at the
council board" by acclamation. That
looks like the right kind of a public
spirit•. This man is willing to serve
the people only if they will take en-
ough interest in the town's affairs to
and' elect It
come to oltt a e t him. is no
credit to a town pito have so few men
offering their services as councillors
that an election is unnecessary. "Ser-
ving at the council board is a thank-
less task." say some, "I'll not offer
myself," It may be a thankless, task
but the man who is a good citizen
and Who believes he can serve the
town well, does not shrink from the
task.: He takes it up and does it like
a man and the town fares badly
which has not a goodly number of
such citizens. The citizen who takes
no interest in the management of
municipal..aflairs has not the real in-
terests•of the town at heart.

COMPARISON OF VALUES.
"Two dollars is too much to pay for
a local paper." said a Sintcoe woman
regarding the Simeoe Reformer the
other day and the editor suns the
matter -up thusly: "Now this woman
brings butter and eggs to town to
sell. Both are commodities that the
iliditor has to buy; and he must find
the money to pay for them to a great
extent out of his subscriptions. Then
he slid a little searching among the
old files and discovered that thirty
years ago, when the price of butter
and eggs ,first began to interest hint,
they were quoted at 15i1 per pound
and 160 per dozen respectively. Put
in another way a year'ssubscription
to The Reformer would buy 31/2
pounds of butter and 3 dozens of eggs.
A $2.011 subscription now will buy one
pound of butter and twenty eggs. The
editor satisfied himself whether these
figures will satisfy others or not, that
the increase to two dollars is amply
justified."
A SUDDEN CALL.
Clinton citizens were 1mm011 shocked
on Friday evening when it became
known that Onslow Crich had been
found dead tit his home on Albert
street. No move had been seen about
the home ail day and elle neighbors
became very anxious and -in the ev-
ening an investigation was rade and
Mr. Crich was found dead in his
bed and his wife lying in an uncon-
scious state in another room. There
Was a strong odor of -gas in• the
house and it was first thought that
accounted for the fatality. Dr. Shaw
coroner, was at once summonedand
a nurse procured for Mrs. Crlch, who
was later removed to the hospital,
where she is now recovering. It was

and on Saturday morning the follow-
ing jury was sworn in, who viewed

day: J. A. Ford, foreman, A. J. Hol-
loway, S. Kemp, 3. 13. Pennon, J. H.

es were called; but no testimony of
any importance was presented ex-
cept that of Dr. Candle:: c anon Dr.
Thompson, wile had performed the
post-lnorttunl examination and who
gave it as their opinion that death
bad been the resutlt of heart failure,
although coal gas might have been
