No Deed For MacKay Hall. —
Apparently the deed for MacKay
Hall at Goderich is not in the hands
of the town council, MIr. H. J. A.
'MacEwen; who with Dr. Gallow, rep-
resents the Council on the MacKay
Hall Board, addressed the Council on
affairs pertaining to it. He said that
an October 8, 19126, the corner -stone
was laid by hint as Mayor of Gode-
•rich. Before the ceremony commenc-
ed. a document was thrust into his
hand, which he presumed was a deed
of gift to the town or to the Temper-
ance people by Mr. MacKay, but os
opening it found it was blank. The
temperance people feel they have
a right to the property. but Mr. Mac-
Etraa declared that they were unable
to discover any document and could
'find no definite agreement entered
into with the temperance organize
tion, "It seems strange they can claiu
possession of a -building worth $10.-
800 on a lot of $1;000." i am told be
Temperance people that the Tout
Council have nothing to do with it
It seemed to hits the Toronto Gen
eral Trust should see that they are
paying the money to the proper neo
ple. He did not see why it is called
MacKay Hall instead of Temperance
Hall. Mr, MacKay wished to give
something to the community. If the
town has nothing to do with it, he ad
vised Council to wash their hands o
it assess it for taxes,

To Take Over Blue Water Road

cently by the chief engineer of the
Department of Highways that within
a comparatively short time the gov-
ernment would take over the Blue
Water Highway as a'provin'cial thor-
oughiare and in due course have it
laid in concrete. The Blue Water
highway heretofore has been main -I
twined upon the county system, and'
while es satisfactory as most mac-
adam roads can be made, has not
measured up to the desires of those'
who have been con'stant'ly asserting'
its usefulness and desirability as an
avenue for commerce and pleasure.
HIS S'TANDING
A story is going the rounds about
a former member of parliament. In
his young lawyer days a New York
firm wrote concerning the financial
standing of one of his neighbors. He
replied: "Yours of the 10Th inst, re-
ceived. I am well acquainted with
Mr. J and know his circumstances.
First of all, he has a wife and baby
together they ought to be worth
$50,000. Secondly, he has an office in
which there are a table, worth $1,50,
and three chairs worth, say, $1. Last
of all, there is in one corner a- large
rat hole which will bear looking into,

Canadian Honey
'The United Kingdoms ranks second
'to 'Germany as the world's honey
market. From the standpoint of Can-
adian bee -keepers, however, the Un-
ited 'Kingdom is easily the more im-
portant of the two. Honey imports
by the British Isles have ranged be-
tween sevenand' tea trtfl•liott ,pounds.
yearly in' recent years and 'have not
shower the drastic decline which ohar-
acterized 'German imports during the
depression period. Up until 1903 the
United Kingdom drew its honey sup-
ply from three main sources; United
(States, British West Indies and New
'Zealand, Other countries contributed
somewhat smaller amounts. With-
in the last three years, however, Can-
adian honey has made striking prog-
ress on the British ntaricet, taking
second place among all the various
competing countries in 111931, 'Chief
among Canadian provinces to increase
notably its honey export was Ontario,
This Province is now shipping over-
seas yearly considerably more than all
the other Provinces combined.
Prevent Goitre in . -
Your Future Lambs
Goitre in your lambs is due to lack
of iodine. Whether or not this min-
eral is deficient in the 'Ottawa dis-
trict is not certain. However, goitre
has appeared in the Central Experi-
mental Farm flock, and sheep owners
should, therefore, play safe and feed
iodine to their pregnant ewes,
If no commercial iodized salt is
available, prepare as follows: .Spread
on a tarpaulin 100 pounds of ordinary
salt. From your druggist procure 2 to
3 ounces of potassium iodide, dissolve
in water and spray the solution on
the salt, Mix thoroughly, keep dry
and feed to the ewes during the win-
ter. This will prevent goitre; and,
when for no distinct reason lamb's are
born weak flabby, it may prove bene-
ficial.

A Valuable Booklet
A very interesting booklet entitled
"The Yardstick" has recently been
issued by the Ontario Marketing
Board. It gives a review of the vari-
ons standards, and grades under
which Ontario farm products are
sold and an attempt is made to edu-
cate the housewife on how to buy on
grade. The pamphlet also measures
the responsibility of both producers
and consumers to a continuing agri-
cultured prosperity in Ontario and is
intended to be the first oaf a series dis-
cussing this subject from different
angles. Copies of the booklet may be
obtained from the Ontario Marketing
Board, Parliament Bldgs„ Toronto,
Hay Marketing
Hay marketing in Western On-
tario was very quiet in December but
much improvement in the situation is
expected before spring. The principal
movement this season has been by
motor truck •to the larger centres such
as Toronto and gradually the hay
supply within trucking distance of
these centres is being reduced. Near-
ly all the second -cut alfalfa ,has al-
ready been marketed for alfalfameal
manufacturing purposes and the first
cut is now being sold rapidly for the
sante purpose. A shortage of bay
and also of feed grain is expected
in Western -Ontario before spring if
the extreme winter weather continues.
