AN HONEST MAN'S WILL
A former citizen, now resident at
Beni,
Oregon, Met. N. W.
sent The News -Re-
cord the following for our "will con-
test." Tis almost as good as the
famous will of "Tiger" Dunlop, but
not quite.
"A contractor, . being told he had
rosily a few days to live, called his
lawyer and said: "Make my will so
my overdraft at the bank goes to my
wife -she can explain it. My equity
in my car to my son -he will have tr
go to work to keep up the payments.
Give my good will to the supply house
-they took some awful chances on
the and are entitled to, something.
My equipment you can give to the
junkman -he has had his eye on it
for several" years. I want six of my
creditors for pallbearers --they hay
carried me. so long they might es
well finish the job.' ,

clerk to tune'the thing before sending

motion of Councillors 'Holmesmos and
Cook a grant of $25 was voted for
this purpose.

on. another page of .this issue.
Bylaw No. 7e amending bylaw No.

was read Three times and passed.
Councillors Cook arid Inkley intro-
duce a notion i in M r
d v 111 . L. Law-
son
son use of the town :'park on Mary
street foe the growing of
grain or
vegetables . but other member,•s of
council thought the matter should
receive more consideration and the
motion was held over.
A motion .sponsored by Councillors
Livermore and Inkley, to allow the
cutting of two trees on the proper-
ty of Mrs. Watt, Felton street, caes-
ed some discussion, Councillor Liv-
ermore, who said he was very much
'apposed to the slaughter of trees a:
a general rule, favored the cutting
of these, As he said it would result
in the improvement of the property
IIe said one was already down and
took responsibility for it. Mr. A. T
Cooper, who was in the audience,
asked permission to address the
council and on its being granter'
asked that the council or the street
romniittee look into the matter be-
fore the remaining tree be cut.
It took a least forty years to grow
such a tree and he thought it a mis-
take to cut it. Had he known the
matter was to come up he would have
had a delegation present to protest
against it. Councillor 'Cook said the
idea behind the cutting :cf the trees
was not to spoil property but to im-
prove it, and on Reeve Elliott's sug-
gestion that the street committee
look over the situation the matter
was laid over for the time.
Councillor Paisley complained of
a leak in the watermain on Princess
street but Chairman Livermore said
the Waterworks commission was a
ware of it and would look after it
as soon as it was thought practic-
able.
Councillor IIolmes thought ar-
rangements should be made for road
improvement "paving the way fm
pavement," he called it. Draining
might be done on some streets and
residents' wishes regarding the put-
ting in of curbing 'obtained.
Chairman Inkley of the cemetery
committee reported that Councillor
Walker, the superintendent of the
cemetery, and himself had gone over
the cemetery and lie wished to make
seine recommendations. Fleet that
the,sum of approximately $100 be set
aside in the estimates for thep aint.

repairs; that something be done a-
bout sone plots which have high
and unsightly evergreen hedges
which are encroaching on adjaaen'
plots, 'also some stone fences whicl-
are broken down and out of re-
pair. _ He also wished permission to
thin a row of maples which are too
thick to grow properly. After some
discussion it was decided: that the
matter of communicating with the
owners of the plots with the too•
wide hedges, the broken down fence
es and the thinning o.f the trees be
left with the cemetery committee
with power to act.
On motion of Councillors Holmes,
chairman of the property committee
seconded by Councillor Walker, hat
and coat hangers will be placed at
the west end 'cif the town hall for
the convenience sof those at':. !cling
gatheriit'gs there,
Chairman Walker of the charity
committee reported most of the stuff
donated for relief had already been
distributed and he relented that the
Home and School Club wished the
use of the hall for a repetition of
the play recently put on by the On-
tario street young people, the pro-
ceeds to go for relief.
On motion of Councillors Liver-
more and Cook a grant of $25 was
voted to the Horticultural Society.
Councillors Inkley and Livermore;
speaking ,to the motion, said that as
$132 had been expended upon the
town plots looked after by the So-
city last year, that nothing of the
kind could be done on $25. But they
would do the best they could. The
Public School will attend to, its owr
flower beds. Councillor Walker
thought something should be done
to clean zip the place across from
Levis' garage, which was an eyesore
on the public highway and in the
centre of the town. He was, remind-.
ed that this was private property.
On motion of Reeve Elliott ane;
Councillor Paisley a grant ,of $1.00
was voted to the 'Spring Show.
On motion of Councillor Paisley
and Reeve Elliott $800 was granted

mer concerts to be given.

orized to grant dear and cigarette

Reeve Elliott suggested that as
the 'work of levelling at the ceme-
tery road last year, work undertak-
en in conjunctionwith
the reeve of
Mullett township, was so satisfac-
tory, if the council approved he
might 'continue it. The council
greed and after some discussion it
was suggested that the boulevard
thus' built up might have a coating
of fine gravel, as being easier to ap-
ply and less trouble than grass
which must be kept cut.

WALKERTO'N WINS
The Bruce County team won from
Clinton Colts, in the second game of
the, semi-finals, by a score of 6.4,
securing a four goal margin in the
home and home series, thus qualify-
ing to meet the leaders in one of the
other intermediate O.H.A. groups.
The ice was soft Friday night, mak-
ing playing heavy work.
Clinton opened: the 'scoring in the
first period, McEwan connecting on
a three-man combination with Elliott
and Gibbs, ten minutes after the
game commenced, but Reybould and
Blulnn equalized in another five
minutes. The period finished 1-1.
The second period began to look
like a blank with 15 minutes gone
and no goals, *when Walker found
an opening and slipped one -past Twy-
ford, making it 2-1, and put the
Bruce boys three up.
In the third the visitors made four
goals in twelve minute's, the goal -
getters, being, Rudgeon, Walker and
Reybould, and with their substantial
margin put everything they had in
defending their goal. The Colts
made a grand rally however, and
with five minutes to go, in the best
bit of combination of the fixture.
got through Oberle's guard for three
counters. Gibbs, McEwan and Ken,
meow each bulging the twine.
The Colts were outclassed on1p1'
by a narrow margin and at that
showing more 'stamina in the dying
moments of the frame than the
heavier Bruce county stalwarts, and
would have evened up the score in
five minutes more of play. The boys
have put up a strong fight for hop,
ours and deserve credit.
Johnny Jones of Guelph had the
game well in hand throughout.
While the arena was not packed as
close ae: when the Colts beat the
Goderich Sailors, there was a crowd
of. 1,000 fans to Witness the game, at
least 200 of them hailing from the
Bruce County town.

ODD NAMES OF CANADIAN
TOWNS
A traveller whose curiosity led
him to analyse the names in the
timetable published by the Canadian
National Railways, comments on the
oddness of some of the names which
appear in it. Among them are Char-
coal, Petrel, Glass, Jelly, Water
Tank, Solid Comfort, Paradise Hill
and Ha Ha Bay. The shortest one -
syllable names include Ens and Ops.
I£ is evident that explorers' imagina-
tion runs in one groove only. Those
who tacked the above names on to
unlucky places, with the exception of
one or two, must have chosen them
from the article nearest their eyes
at the moment.
The man who named the station
Ops may have cone from one of the
hop -growing counties of England
and had visions of planting a field
of them in the vicinity. • It is au-
thentically told that the village of
Hepworth, up in Bruce, was so nam-
ed by an Englishman who wished
the village named Epworth. Wheh
the place was to be named those who
had it in hand gave the honor of
choosing the name to this English-
man, an old settler and highly es-
teemed in the community, and a
friend, knowing him to be an ardent
Methodist, suggested that it would
be nice to name it Epworth after
Epworth Rectory. where .Tehn, Wes-
ley was born. The' Englishman at
once agreed and when asked what
name he had chosen answered "Hep-
worth" and so it was named.
"He gives me a pain in the neck,"
says Jones, "this man from India who
hasn't spoken a word for several
years. ,Gosh, I've been married twice
that long."
