The Greig Clothing Co,
THROWN IN
Thirty years ago the storekeepers
used to throw in a pair of braces with
every suit of clothes. If the suit cost
as much as fifteen or twenty dollars
you stood a chance of getting a neck-
tie into the bargain or a pair of kid
gloves for the missis. Of course that
was in the days when braces were
not a luxury and when real kid gloves
at a dollar a pair could be seen on
the street every Sunday. If the missis
bought stuff for a dress, silk or cash-
mere or henrietta, it was common
knowledge that the thread and
but-
tons tons and the lining and the binding
for the bottom of the skirt would be
thrown in. As to that, there never
was any wrangling. ' Whatever
wrangling took place it wasduring
the negotiations for the purchase of
the stuff itself. It was your privilege
and in particular the privilege of
every woman to beat down the price.
If the storekeeper asked a dollar and
a quarter for»silk that. could not be
bought to -day for three dollars you
would be regarded as a pretty easy
naarlc if you could not haggle until
the price would be reduced to one -
fifteen, which very likely, after all,
would be the storekeeper's inside
fi gure.
Those were the days when every --
40(1y asked more and took less. All
kinds of small merchandise were
thrown in to clinch a bargain or to
induce you to come back again. If
it wasn't a box of paper collars, it
might be a straw hat or a silk
handkerchief with an initial letter
clone in colors on one corner. But
everybody hoped to get something for
nothing, and I am not sure that
everybody's hope has changed from
that time to this. For that reason I
regard the trifles I write here as
something thrown in, something of
an unexpected or unnecessary char-
acter, something that ` may be valued
because it costs nothing—little con-
ceits that once in a while may cling
unobtrusively to the almost complete
investiture of the important writers
Who go before.
Perhaps it is the high cost of iiv-
Trig to -day that causes me to think of
the value of commodities of trade
thirty to -forty years ago. In Huron
county, which was. I suppose, an
average county in Ontario, we used
to believe that butter at s'xteen cents
a pound was almost as high as some-
times it smelt. Eggs were common
tender at one cent apiece. Indeed,
butter and eggs set the standard of
values. A dozen eggs would buy a
yard of shirting, and a pound of
butter was worth three pounds of
granulated sugar. Now, however, a
dozen eggs will buy almost two yards
of skirting, and a pound of butter is
worth. four pounds of sugar. All
these everyday commodities have ad-
vanced greatly in price, but the but-
ter and the eggs have advanced more
than the shirting or the sugar. -
I am reminded of the old Scotsman
whose wife sent him to the store to
get an eg'g's worth of darning -needles.
In those days the general store pre-
vailed, and the stock in trade fre-
quently included whiskey and other
strong liquors. The storekeeper whom
the "Scotsman approached had "given
out't that he would treat every cus-
tomer. Sandy obtained . the needles,
then waited with some patience for
the treat. At length he was con-
strained
onstrained to remark:
"I'm Hearin' ye're giein' a treat to.
every customer."
"You'd hardly' expect a treat with
an egg's worth of darning -needles,"
the storekeeper replied.
"Ah, weel, bit ye canna draw the
line tooa close—a customer's a cus-
tomer."
"All right. What'll you have?" -
"I'll take a bit whiskey."
The storekeeper poured out a horn
of whiskey and laid it on the counter.
"I'm used to haein' a bit sugar in
it," said Sandy, smacking his lips.
The storekeeper opened the bin and
dropped a lump of sugar into the
glass.
'Sandy looked at the concoction/hes-
itated a moment, and then spoke a-
gain.
"I'm used to haein' an egg in it,"
he ventured. -
The storekeeper reached behind and
took front a shelf the very egg that
Sandy hied traded. He broke the
shell and' let the contents drop into
the glass. And, wonderful to - behold,
there were two yolks. Sandy looked
on, and a smile of satisfaction came
to his face as he raised the glass
to his lips.
"I'm thinkin'," he said, "there's
anither egg's worth o' needles corrin'
to me."
I suppose there are good reasons
why the things that came into town
n
for use and consumption, by
the towns -
/people and farmers have not advanc-
ed in price proportionately -as much as
the things that were hauled in by the
farmers. The economic system has
changed, as well as the means of
transportation and the facilities for
shipment abroad. In those days a
cheese
i ee
sold milk to the
few farmers
factories, but the exchange for it,
either in cheese, or cash or whey, but
mostly in all three, was just enough
to be an aggravation: Creameries
such as operate to -day all over the
country - were unknown, and their
splendid products were yet to bless a
later generation. And while butter
was common barter, there was no
standard of quality. All went at one
price, for no storekeeper could give
Mrs. Jones fifteen cents in tradedfor
butter, and Mrs. Brown only
cents, and go on 1geeping store,
Whether Mrs. Brown's butter was the
best or the worst, she received fifteen
cents for it in barter, just the same
as - all the others. The theory was,
literally, that all butter is born equal,
which is the same as to say that all
customers must be treated as if equal.
Here, then, i a crude sense, was the For now everybody wearS silk where -
equality facto in Socialism put into ever it can be worn, and the lady,
practice. But it"Was a practice that especially the young one, who appears
could not last,' for while it prevails 1 formally in anything but silk uninen-
to a very slight extent in some places ` tionables is regarded as far from be -
even to -day, it is not the basis of
trade in our towns as it used to be.
_I have remarked aeked that the butter
was not all of standard quality. Some
of it was not as good as it looked. I
recall one woman who used all her
own butter on her own table. But
one unfortunate day she discovered a
dead mouse in the crock of cream. Not
daunted, however, she did the usual
churning and produced a fine-looking
roll of butter. But she couldn't eat
it herself. She knew the butter was
really all right and would taste good
to anyone who did not know about
the mouse. So she took it to " the
storekeeper, told him the truth, and.
asked whether he would exchange it
for a roll from his cellar.
"You know," she said, making a
slight misquotation, "for what the
mind doesn't know the heart won't
grieve for."
"Oh, that's all right," said the
obliging storekeeper, "I'm pleased to
accommodate you."
good old days when flannel, was in the
heyday of its. respectability. A silk
stocking or a silk "undie" was men-
tioned only in connection with royalty
and one silk dress was supposed to
last a life time. But what a change!
He disappeared into the cellar and
a moment later reappeared with a
roll of butter that you scarcely could
tell from the one he had taken down.
The woman thanked him and de-
parted. A few days later she was in
the store again.
"How did . you like the butter I
gave you the other day?" the store-
keeper asked. -
"It was just lovely," said the wo-
man, "just lovely. I couldn't have
told it from my own." -
"Neither Could I," said the store-
keeper. "You know that what the
mind doesn't know the heart doesn't
grieve about. That butter was your
awn."
The farmers, or usually their wives,
used to drive into town with their
butter and eggs, which were known
as "produce." They- wouldstop in
front of some store, dry goods or
grocery, as indeed they sometimes do
nowadays, and have the crock of
butter or basket of eggs carried in,
to be weighed or counted. Then, hav-
ing agreed to the weight or count
and the price, they would proceed to
"take it out in trade." Now the trad-
ing, both as to price and method, was
so different from what it is now that
one scarcely can refrain from review-
ing it.
A dozen eggs, ashavewe
remarked
would buy a yard of shirting. It was
shirting of cotton,material, mostly
blue on a white round, in. either
plaids ar stripes, and the usual price
was a York shilling a yard. The
price for the shirting now is fifty
cents a yard, and the eggs fetch more
than that a dozen, so that the ad-
vantage is still with the farmer.
The trading was not done in those
days with the same facility as it is
to -day. Half a cent a yard was worth
haggling over. And haggle they did,
the . customer framing a variety 'of
reasons why she would not buy at
the price, and going so far as to say,
as I heard one woman *say, that the
shirting did not look like her Henry.
The merchant, of course, had his ar-
guments well seasoned, the chief ones
being that the goods were the best
that could be produced for the money
and that while any shirting was bound
to fade sooner or later, the kind un-
der consideration would hold its eplor
almost as long as the shirt would
last.
A pound and a half of butter would
buy a yard of cottonade at twenty-five,
cents a yard. The same goods now
sell at seventy-five cents a yard, and
the butter at sixty. So that we see
again the advantage with the farmer.
Printed cotton used to be a great
thing for summer dresses. A dozen
eggs would) buy a yard that was
guaranteetd not to fade.. Now the
same dozen. would buy two yards at
thirty-five cents a yard. Again the
farmers get the draw. -
That fine old historic stuff gingham
used to sell at twelve and a half cents
a yard, and naturally one dozen eggs
would buy one yard. Now it sells
at forty cents, and a dozen eggs buys
almost two yards.
Every little while someone would
want a bundle or two of cotton warp.
It was used mostly in coarse weaving
'and as a binding for rag carpets and
mats and sold at a dollar a• bundle.
Nov it is worth at least four dollars
a bundle. Here, then,we have an
item that has advanced to the dis-
advantage of the farmer, but as prac-
tically none of it is' used nowadays
the result is as nothing.
We should remember that I am
writing in the month of March, in
the "winter of our discontent," and
that the farmer does not get as
much for his butter and eggs in the
summer months as he does now.
What a splendid place "cashmere"
took in the economy of those days!
Do we remember the stuff that used to
sell at sixty cents a yard and that
was of exquisite quality at a dollar?
A black cashmere dress always was
in proper placje, even at -a picnic, and
it was very handy in case of death
in the family. It is almost off the
market now, and if a woman to -day
buys the kind that used , to cost a
dollar a yard she pays four dollars
for it. But she doesn't buy any, -so
where's the difference? Cashmere
stockings that used to cost forty cents
a pail now cost $1.25, and one almost
has to wear them these winter
months.
But we are harking back to the
ing smart and indeed almost as outre
as if she were to appear in evening
dress wearing a wrist watch.
But flannel! Who would be so
careless as to wear it for -any prati-
cal purpose nowadays? Still it has
had its day of glory. Who can re-
ineni'ber the lovely soft cream -colored
flannel that used to cost only from
forty to sixty cents a yard? It was
smooth enough for the baby and costs
to -day from a dollar to a dollar and
a half a yard. And all -wool gray
flannel that might shrink a little you
r
2ould get for forty cents a yard or
in exchange for two anda half pounds
of butter. It was good for all mem-
bers of the family, not quite so good,
however, as the red kind, which had
a soothing influence on sore throat,
rheumatism and lumbago. It - was
good also for chest and lung troubles,
and if worn next to the skin had
acknowledged curative properties.
But silk, at last, has come into its
own. Silk nighties, silk petticoats,
silk camisoles, silk combinations and
silk shirts are as common as linen or
cotton and flannel used to be. Pro-
portionately silk does not cost as
much, and who is so unhuman as not
to " like the soft feel of it, its swish
and its beautiful sheen?
It used to take eight dozen eggs
to, buy a yard of good silk. To -day
four dozen will do the trick. Do you
wonder, then, that the farmer's- wife
turns to silk stockings if she can get
a pair for two dozen eggs when thirty
years ago the same pair would have
cost a whole summer's laying? You
were among the best customers and
in easy circumstances, if not in afflu-
ence, if you paid as high as ;1.25
for a corset or:;. a pair of kid gloves.
Whether rich or poor, your ticking
east twenty-five cents where to -day
it cost seventy-five. Your towelling
cost twelve and a half cents where
to -day it costs forty-five. Your sew-
ing cotton cost four cents where to-
day it costs ten. Your man's "gauzy"
cost $1.25 where to -day it costs $3.25.
Your floor oilcloth cost fifty cents
where- to -day it costs $1.50. Your
ribbons cost twenty-five••eer where
to -day they cost seventy-five. Your
table linen cost one dollar where to-
day it costs four. Tobacco was ten
cents a plug, with a clay pipe 'thrown
in.
In most of these things, as ou
can see, the comparative increas is
in favor of the butter and eggs. ut
if I were a farmer I should be just
as annoyed as all farmers must be
who read this article, For nothing
has been said about the chief products
of the farm, about grains and fruits
and vegetables and roots and live
stock. But I have the defense that
these -important things were not in
those days, nor are they to -day, arti-
cles of direct barter. They were
given in exchange for the common
legal tender, and therefore do not
enter our prsent consideration. Any-
one can see, nevertheless, that if all
farm products have advanced in the
same proportion as eggs and butter,
the farmer should not fare very bad-
ly, even now. After all, everything
falls back' on the ultimate consumer.
He is the one who takes the brunt in
all instances of high prices, present
company, of course, excepted.—By

started several days before trusting
the eggs to it.
The first essential of a good hatch
whether under bens or in incubators
is to have eggs from healthy, vigor-
ous breeding stock. The fresher the
egg the better chance of a good
hatch. Select only eggs of a normal
size, discarding all rough, uneven,
thin shells or any peculiar or ab-
normal shape. Do not allow the
eggs to become chilled before being
set. Give the hens or incubators a
fairwithgood chance g od hatchable eggs
and under most conditions they will
produce good 'healthy chicks.
To be successful in the brooding
and rearing of chicks requires con-
stant care .and attention to details. If
chicks are hatched by hens, let the
hen remain quietly on the nest until
the chicks get so lively that they in-
sist on leaving it, then remove the
hen with her brood to a coop previ-
ously prepared for her. All coops
should be thoroughly disinfected be-
fore use each season and also between
broods.
A hen should be given no more
chicks than she can keep comfort-
ably warm. The articficial method
requires a brooder so made that it
will be possible to produce and hold
heat enough to provide for the com-
fort of the chicks .in any weather,
easily and well ventilated. The chicks
should be left in the incubator until
perfectly dry and great care must
be taken to avoid chill in changing
them to the brooder. The brooder
must be almost the same temperature
as what they were accustomed to in
the incubator for a start. Extremes
of heat or cold are very disastrous.
_Chicks require no food for 48 to
60 hours after being hatched, as a
chick when it leaves the shell has a
sufficient supply of nourishment to
last it for several days. Peed small
quantities at a time and often dur-
ing the first two weeks. Dry bread -
crumbs slightly moistened with milk,
rolled oats, pinhead oatmeal and
finely cracked mixed grains may be
allowed but all changes should be
made gradually. Give them plenty of
green food and place grit, water or
sour milk where the chicks - will have
free access to it. Self feeding hop-
pers containing cracked grains and
dry mash are the best means of
feeding the growing stock while on
a good grass range.
MORE CURLING NEWS
Now folks, there's something missing
1 In that ryhme a week ago,
All about the good old curlers
And that game that they love so;
It happened in the rink
One brisk winter's afternoon,
When the U. F. O.'s gave battle,
Till they :ret an awful doom.
The young ones from the East end,
The East Colts was their name,
Cnallenged the U. F. O.'s
To a little friendly game.
The game it was a good one,
But I won't keep you in sur ence,
For the curling of the East Colts
Ilur.g their opponents on the fence.
There was McIntosh and Wilson,
Thomas Dickson and Adam Dodds;
They fought an awful battle
Against most fearful odds.
They came in. all their war paint;
It was wonderful to see,
Jack McIntosh was skipping With a pad upon his knee.
The East End Colts were wonders
For sweeping stones or skill;
Broderick, he was skipping,
And his place was hard to fill.
But the support of Reid and Haigh
And Tom Beattie playing too,
It's no wonder that the U. F. 0.'s
- Got no more shots than two.
The followers of both the rinks
Turned out from near and far, •
Some came in their hayracks
While others used a car.
And when the game was over,
And the shouting it was done,
All the fans had to admit
That the battle was well won.
Now, •`ht speaking of the curlers
We. must not forget to say
A little word of Peck,
And how he worked both night and
day .
To get that ice in shape -
For the game that afternoon,
And the way that he succeeded
Was a credit to our "coon."
Now I'll write you one more verse,
Which must surely be my- last.
You'll have curlers in the future
As you've had them in the pass.
But speaking for the East End Colts
I can truly say they feel,
For a good old veteran curler
We'll doff our hats to Johnnie Steele.

time limit, March 15th. These were
so far in advance df the estimated
cost that the committee have thought
it advisable to make alterations in
the plan to bring the Striatum when
completed within the ainmint of money
subscribed for the purpose. With tins
object in view Architect Murray has
been consulted and the probability' is
that new plans- will k furnished.
—Fifty years ago Mr. and, Mrs.
Albert Ford, of Exate r, were mar -
1 ried. Through the journey of their
} married life the sands of time have
been lenient towards them and both
are enjoying remarkably good health,
and it was appropriate that the gol-
den opportunity be celebrated. Ac-
cordingly the immediate relatives of-
the
fthe family were invited in and the _
event was fittingly celebrated on.
Thursday. There is not one who
knows them but what will pay tribute'
to their worth and will wish them
happy returns of the anniversary and
hearty enjoyment of them.
—Last Monday Miss Janet McKay,
a lady well known and most highly
esteemed, passed over the border line,.
following a long and trying period of
ill health. The end came at the home
of Mrs. Alex. Hunter, in, Brassels,
sister to deceased, with whom she
had lived for years. The subject of
this notice made her residence at
Cranbrook, with her brother, A. M.
McKay, before going to Brussels and
had scores of friends both there and in
Brussels. She was a faithful mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church and
was buried on Wednesday, her pas-
tor, Rev. A, J, Mann, conducting the
service, assisted by Rev. Mr. Staf-
ford. Miss McKay was born in
Sutherlandshire, Scotland, and came
to Canada when a young'girl. The'
parents passed away at Cranbrook.
—On Monday of last week- the
tenders for the building of Exeter's.
cement roadway were opened by the.
council. Some seven tenders were re-
ceived and the prices ranged from
fifty to sixty thousand dollars, the
lowest tender being that. of Honing -
worth Company, of Hamilton. At
first it appeared as if the prices were
prohibitive. However, it was figured '
out that there had been a mistake in
the specifications the width of the
paved road being greater than in-
tended for darts of the distance, and
it was finally decided to award the
tender to the above named company
at $44,000, the road to be t*.enty feet
wide from South. Boundary to Amt St.,
36 feet wide to Sanders street, 24 feet
wide to Station street, and 20 feet to
the approach to the bridge. Of the
total cost it is estimated that the
provincial government will pay
$12,000, so that the cost to the vil-
lage will be in the neighborhood of
$32,000, which. is some $7,000 above
the amount voted by by-law. The
work will be begun about May 1st and
completed abqut August 1st.
—General regret is expressed over
the demise of Grace les Robb, beloved
wife of Augustus Wheeler; who pass-
ed away Wednesday of last week at
her home in Grey townshigt' aft the
age of 25 years, 9 months and 27
days. She is survived by her hus-
band, two little sons and her parents
and- sister. The funeral was very
r
larl,ely attended last Saturday after -
neon, service being conducted by Rev
W. E. Stafford. The pallbearers were
Levi Parr, James Bryans, John Work,
Elston Cardiff, Leslie Thuell and W.
McCuteheon. Interments we s made
in Brussels cemetery. Anlosg the
beautiful floral tributes was a wreath
from Greenbush Patriotic Society, an
organization that owed much of its
success to deceased when she was
teaching in that locality. Mrs.
Wheeler was a daughter of John and
Mrs. Robb; 6th line, Morris township,
and was married . to her new bereft
partner on March 16th, 1918. She
possessed a bright attractive person-
ality and was beloved by all who
knew her and her death east a gloom,
over the community.
—After an extended " illness of
several months from hesrt trouble fol-
lowed by dropsy, Faith Robertson, be-
loved wife of . Nathaniel Platt, of
John street, Brussels, passed to her
reward on the 17th inat, in her 68th
year. She was born in Tecumseh
township, Simeoe County ene was
married to her now bereft partner
forty-four years ago. Shortly after
they moved to the 5th line, Morris
township, where they lived until 15
years ago, when they moved to Brus-
sels. Deceased is survived by her
husband, two sons, William, in Mon-
tana and Andrew, in Sask., and two-
daughters, Mrs. Charles Davis, Mor-
ris, and Mrs. Lipphardt, of Handel,.
