FOR PUBLIC CONVENIENCE.
The, News -Record has' suggested to
Mr. E. N. Lewis; member for West
Huron, that he bring to the atten-
tion of the l'ost:ace Department
the .need there t er e is for having
letter
boxes placed; atdifferent parts of
our town for the greater conven-
ience of citizens. The suggestion will
no doubt be all that is required as
Mr. Lewis has on more than one oc-
casion endeavored to render his con-
stituents a service.
The fact that towns of less im-
portance
mportancethan Clinton are already
so served merely emphasizes the
fact that there ere. should o be no un-
necessary
-
necessary delay in perfecting the pos-
tal conveniences of. the town,
TIIE SEASON OVER.
The season's operations being
about over at the big poultry sta-
tion an estimate of its output ran
now be made, The season didn't
rtm nnfolt over three months but
during tiiat time the following were
put through the Clinton plant :
Chickens 11,500
Hens 4,200
Turkeys 3,500.
Geese 600
The branch plant at YIolinesvtlle
,put through 1000 turkeys, 400 geese
and a large number of chickens and
hens, together with all the ducks
bought in the district by the Com-
pany. The number of the latter on
Band at any one time at the plant
was so great that for the time be-
ing Holmesville was becoming known
as "Duckville."
1 The Company is now distributing
Barrbd Rock 'and Wyaaddotte cockerels
among their patrons, evidently con-
sidering these two breeds as the
best for the table and for eggs.
$20,000 HAS I3•EEN EXd'ENDED.
The National Land, Fruit and
Packing Company, which has been
forced to go into liquidation, appear-
ed upon the scene at an unfortunate
time. It 1911, the first year of its
operations, the apple crop was al-
most a total failure and last year,
While there was o Large yield the price
upon the British market fell almost to'
the cost of packing and barrel. Thus,
while there were no net receipts, the
Company's campaign of extension
and improvement was carried on
vigorously and at enormous expense
which has eaten up' the capital and
put the Company down and in all
probability out,
The Company operated in severa'i.
lake shore counties, which were sub-
divided into thirteen districts, One
extended from Clinton to the south-
ern Ribundary
outh-ernlhbundary of the county, including
three-fourths of Goderich township.
Another took in the remainder of
Goderich and Colborne and 'Ashfield
townships,
In these two districts the Com-
pany has under a ten -Year lease
130 orchards of about 112,000 trees
on which it expended is 1911 and
1912.in pruning, spraying, cultivat-
ing, wages and rentals about $13,-
000,
Itt the district about Kincardine
there are '70 orchards of about 6000
trees similarly leased in which the
Company has - spent in the neighbor-
hood of $6,500.
Twenty thousand dollars has thus
been expended in two years' operat-
ing in these districts alone but what
will offset this to a considerable ex-
tent is the remaining eight -years
tease of orchards that have been im-
mensely itriproved and which ought
to yield profitable returns, when the
apple crop and price again become
normal.
The Company was unfortunate var-
iously. nor instance; In, several
of the districts it triedP ot'ato an..
tomatorowih,, but the rot struck
g b
the former> aria the frost the latter
and the crop was nit
What the outcome' will be it is quilte,
impossible to say. While the Com-
pany may not he organized tile leas-
es will no doubt be taken over :by a
Company or broken up into parcels
and bought by enterprising orchard-
ists.

THE WEST COMING EAST.
Mr. Ed. Johnston of Gremlin,
North Dakota, las been .in town for
a few days this week and on Tues-
day made the purchase of Mr.
Samuel Brown's one -hundred -acre
farm on the 2nd con.f Hallett the
e
purchase 'price being five thousand
dollars. Mr. Johnston has been in
Dakota many years but formerly
lived in this district and Clinton
was his market town. He came
east to visit relatives near Zurich
and has finally made up his mind
that he math prefers Ontario to any
[prairie state or province. Mr. John-
ston says that land Is selling just
as cheapin Ontario s in twest,
0 a le
t
although it is quite as fertile and
has the added advantage of a mild-
er climate and nearness to the
large centres of population and con-
sequently the best markets. Mr.
Johnston added that .many Dakota
farmers are contemplating just such
a step as he has taken.
CLINTON'S BIGGEST INDUSTRY.
Clinton's biggest industry is, of
coarse, the Piano and Organ factory,
For a long period the output was
organs alone, but since Mr, D. S.
Cluff became manager the energy 01
the management has been turning
more and more to pianos, whose ag-
gregate value is now at least three-
fourths of the whole. Organs are
still being made, but practically
only to fill orders from old cus-
tomers.
The staff now includes a number
of expert piano makers from out-
side factories, but the organ men
are gradually being trained to the
new class of work and that they
are making good is shown by the
superior inotruments being sent out.
On Saturday last two carloads were
shipped.
The Company has been most active
in cultivating the western trade and
has large warerooms at both Win-
nipeg and Calgary.
The industry is well officered. Man-
ager Clull knows the trade thorough-
ly, Mr, Fred J. Hill looks after the
financial details, while Mr, H. B.
Chant controls the mechanical end,
S. A, SERVICES.
The Salvation Army had special
services on Sunday last, good meet-
ings being held all day. At the ev-
ening service there was an enroll-
ment of recruits when seven new
soldiers were taken in. Adjutant
Smith of London was expected but
owing to illness and other causes he
was unable to bo present and the
officer in charge of the local corps,
Captain Gibb, very impressively con-
ducted the service. Those being en-
rolled were Mr, and Mrs. Bailey,
Mr, and Mrs. W. Brimfield, Mr, FI,
Ilutchings and Mr. Fred Livermore,
the latter being an old soldier who
had been away for some time. The
band discoursed good music at all
the services and the days' proceed-
ings were considered to be both en-
joyable and profitable,
The hall has been thoroughly re-
novated and decorated and is now a
very cosy and attractive place of
worship. The exterior of the build-
ing has been much improved in ap-
pearance by the addition of a new
coat of paint and other repairs, but
ii; is the interior whichhas under-
gone the greatest change. New
chairs have taken the place of the
old benches which did duty far so
long, the electric lights have been
changed and nreproved, the walls se -
papered • and the woodwork grained.
These repairs and improvements e0st
considerable ;money, besides a goodly
amount of work which was done by
the soldiers, but they have respond-
ed so liberally that the indebtedness
is, now pretty well met.

Special services are being continu-
ed each evening during this week,
The meetings have .been very well
attended and the interest seems to
be growing.
On. Sunday last the organist was -
absent, owing to illness and Miss
Lucile Grant presided at the organ.
The services on Sunday last were
of much interest and gave promise
of good, results. In the evening be-
fore commencing his sermon, Rev.
Mr. Allis sang tthe well known gos-
pel song ''''The Minato, and Nine."
On Sunday nextanhe pastor will
preach morning and evening.
GETTING READY FOR HYDRO.
A twenty-five e h. p motor engine
has been placed in the waterworks
power house to serve clue as an auxil-
iary in keeping iar e prng the stand pipe full,
The plant is thus 'safe -guarded
against n hold-up. If. the big pump
should go wrong or the gas pro-
ducer fails to produce the motor
over the second well and the other
in the power house can be called "in-
to use.
The twenty-five ll. p. was installed
by Mr. W. J. Nediger of the Elec-
tric Light Company, who does good
work and does it promptly. Mr. Ned-
iger is regarded by many of our
citizens as the probable superinten-
dent of the town's power and light-
ing service when hydro is installed:

tical, forceful and eloquent address::s.
