Debt Materially year this .e Will Reduce Warden Bowman, in his address at the opening session of Huron County Council last week stated that the debt, last January was $46,804 and it le estimated it will be reduced to $7,508 this year, which is good news to rate- payers. He recommended that the, mill rate of 5x/z mills be maintained. He considered a 5 -mill rate would not be good busineas. He would like to see the rate on county roads increas- ed. Eight miles were added to the system last year and some machinery had been replaced, and equipment needed. It was a matter to decide whether to carry on 5161 mill rate ,or spend less money on county roads, Mr. Bowman expressed his thanks to the members for the support given him and for the co-operation extended by the clerk and treasurer.

However this may be, the evidence will be abundant this summer, as it has been during many years, that compared to them he is a timid, un- imaginative and archaic individual. We refer, of course, to the matter of summer clothing. With woolen and children it night be called a lack of clothing. As usual, women will be cool and comfortable sans stockings and sans much of other coverings In the hot weather. When it is con- venient they will trespass upon one domain in which man has had an advantage: namely, trousers and breeches. They will improve upon them, appearing in shorts where only the most courageous and dare- devil male spirits will venture with anything less than a full length of duck covering for .the legs. As for children the chile] with more than a few strips of cloth around his middle will be More .or less of an oddity. Jo contrast, the male members of society may be trusted to continue their preservation of the sartorial status quo of the last hundred years or more. This summer, like last stmimer and the summer before that and the summer again before that, they will be encased from head to foot in foolish impediments to Com- fort. On the top of their heads, they will wear a hat. Around their 'throats they will button a collar and tie a necktie, From there down they will wear two layers of clothing, at least, and probably three. They x.111 wear long shirt sleeves and- long coat sleeves, vest, ankle -length tribes of clothing called trousers, held by a bolt or suspenders. They will carry all this around on the hottest days and it will never occur to then to lighten the burden; ,or if it does oc- cur the them they will refrain front acting on the thought lest people may think they look or are strange.' -Kincardine Review -Reporter. is a peculiar one far two reasons. First, delphiniums, according to all the fine old traditions of this digni- fied family, are never - among the first flowers to show themselves, but usually keep the public in sus- pense until about the end of July of the first of August. Secondly, this speediest of delphiniums differs in appearance from any of the rest of its family. The formation of the blooms reminds one of a beautiful blue -purple• butterfly.

SCOT DIDNA' HEED COST Goderich's Scotch Justice of the Peace went on a spending spree on Saturday. Upon .leaving the Magis- trate's Court office, he found that he had left his beloved daily 'paper locked' in the office. T'he prob}em confronting him was whether he should return to the office ancl get the paper or spend three cents for a new one, After pondering the situa- tion for some moments he decided to help end the depression and bought another paper.--Goderich Star.. 5.60 ,r Estimated deficit, 97,528.77.

It is probable that most families in town have at some time or other; This water is, free to everyone which inay be the chief reason it is not us- ed more freely. If it cost a dollar or more a gallon people would be scrambling to get it and we would have patrons from all sections: of the country. The medicinal and health -giving properties of this wat- er is said to be as high as those of some of the widely advertised min- eral water resorts which depend en- tirely for their existence upon water such as we have in Kincardine. If other, resorts can benefit from the presence of such Water, Kincardine should be able to do likewise and probably more .so as the supply is an' abundant one. -Kincardine News. to prow, hys. acct, $50; D.

PRESS SECRETARIES BE PROMPT The Exeter paper has the follow- ing to say on a matter upon which The News -Record has often express sed similar sentiments. It is often a matter of surprise to us why pee. ple want to wait until the last min- ute before sending in articles of news. The earliest minute after the event happens is the best time to send 10 any item of news. Just last week we had no fewer than three news items sent in after we had the paper on the press, which couldjust as easily have reached, us twenty foci.' hours earlier: "The Times -Advocate; is well equip- ped to handle news matter for'pub- lication.
