Nearly.Strangles In Wire Pence A serious accident occurred on 'the hill leading from Saltford into Goderich, Satur- day afternoon when Mrs. Carpenter, of West Wawanosh was badly hurt. Her horse took at a G. T. R engine passing under the bridge at the top of the hill and ran away. Mrs. Carpenter was thrown from the rig into the wire fence, her head being caught between two wires and her body fell over the top of the fence. Thus she hung by the neck and but for the timely arrival of P. J McEwan and a friend she would have been strangled to death One of her ears is entirely severed. Doctors were immediately summoned and she was removed to Dr. Emmerson's office when medical attention was given her. She is resting easily. imaimiummiimszaam ' FLOREN, i Ammar 7 OIL TOOK STOVES 4i1 r A GREAT comfortin the heat A A of summer! No hot range to bother with—no shaking down —no ashes to carry out.

The territory concerned is about 75 miles in length, with towns extending from South- ampton to Wingham across to "Mildmay. Delegates were present from practically all the towns and some of the townships, The feeling of these men present was that this portion of the province had been ne- glected, that while other portions of the province surrounding them were glorying in the reduced rates, the northwestern municipalities were being handicapped ag- riculturally and industrially through lack of consideration from hydro headquarters. The meeting here was called by the Port Elgin Board of Trade, and there was a fine attendance Mr. H H, Stevens, president of the Port Elgin Bard of Trade, presid- ed at the meeting. Across the platform was stretched a large banner and a map showing the municipalities concerned which have not yet been favoured with hydro. The local committee had fine arrangements for en- tertainment of the visitors, which includ- ed a trip over the Saugeen. River. Mr. E. Roy Sayles, on behalf of the Port Elgin Board of Trade, presented the case for the municipality which called the meeting. He noted that the meeting with Sir Adam in Toronto, was the reason why further action was necessary Sir Adam had ask- ed that a favorable public opinion be created. This, an organization would do. The speaker thought that while the pre- sent situation showed that there was great neglect in this porton of 'the prov- ince it was only fair that the people of the municipalities should assume some blame in not being organized. Organization was the only way. The expenditure would not be great and a small levy upon each municipality concerned would meet the requirements of the new organization, • Mayor Gurney of Wingham; J. A Con- stantine of Teeswater; J. J. Hunter of Kincardine; ex -mayor Lippert, of Walker- ton; Reeve Steele, of Paisley; Reeve Schmidt of Mildmay; Reeve McCannell, of Saugeen; Reeve Brown, of Bruce; Reeve Ruttle of Huron: Reeve Thompson of Southampton; Mr. Greer of Wifigham. and others all spoke briefly, agreeing that the only thing to do was to perfect organ- ization for the purpose of setting forth to the Hydro Commission the needs of the northwestern municipalities Mr. Greer moved, and Mr. Constantine of Teeswater seconded; 'We deem it advisable, in order to secure early development of hydro power in this section of the province, to form an association of the municipalities within this district; that the organization be called the Associated Municipalities of Northwestern Ontario, and that the offi- cers be a chairman, vice-chairman, secre- tary -treasurer and an executive of nine members." A resolution was also moved by J J Hunter seconded by Blake Elliott, of Wingham: "That this meeting asks the Hydro -Electric Commission to at once proceeed with the development of power on the Saugeen River, and that the south- ern outhern portion of the municipalities embrac- ing Walkerton, Teeswater, Wingham Lucknow, be at once served from Eugen- ia."

The following resolution was ordered to be sent to the Hydro -Electric Com- mission "Whereas the municipalities of this no thwestern secrion of Ontario real- izing the importance and necessity of hydro power; and whereas the municipal- ities of this said section covering a district of 75 miles in length. 20 to 30 miles in depth, include 20 townships, 13 towns and villeges; and whereas the delegates of these various municidalities', in session assembled declare that the agricultural and industrial interests of this large sec- tion of Ontario have not had the consider- ation from the Hydro Electric Commis- sion that their needs demand, therefore be it resolved that these municipalities duly organized and assembled hereby de- sire to impress upon the attention of the Hydro -Electric Commission of Ontario that immediate steps be taken to provide power for this district in order to place the industrial and agricultural activities of the municipalities of this large district in as favorable position as other portions of the Province of Ontario, where hydro power has been given;,,,and be it further resolved that this meeting very strongly favors any movement which has for its object the electrifying of railroads or rad- ial construction to serve this part of Ont. aria." . woomaiikageopeolotoomallikftwitesvogieW EN1 1NERS' REQUEST REFUSED,'ZEROS MAKE SIM f WRITE, SOFT, CLEAR Business done at a special, meeting of the Cuirass Township Council held at Teeswater on May 5th, was not large in amount, but it was important. The meeting was called because of a communication eceived from the engin- eer in charge of the survey of the Tees - water River asking for the time for the preparation of his report be eittenied, and the reeve called the special meeting to deal with his request The engineer being present stated that owing to the backward season, he was not able to complete his report on the propos- ed dredging of the river, as early as he had expected, and within the time limit set by statute. Following a lengthy discussion of the request, Councillors Marshall and Mc- Donald moved "That as the time has ex- pired for the engineer to, hand in his re- port re the Teeswater River dredging, this Council do not extend the time for making his report." Moti n carried. It will be remembered that this river dredging scheme has been a live issue in Culross for many years,, The Council of 1918 had engaged an engigeer, .had much of the survey work done, and made other arrangements to have the work carried out, but the ratepayers of the. townships did not agree with the Council as to going on with the work, and the result was that on election day there was a complete turnover --the reeve and all four councill- ors of 1918 being defeated at the polls and a new board elected. The refusal of the Council to extend the time for receipt of the engineer's re- port is, of course, in line with the policy of the Council elected last January, and with the sentiment of the people. The only other motion submitted at the special meeting was one by Councillors Beingessner and Marshall instru'tting the reeve to procure timber and have the rail- ing at the deviation of the road on Con. - 5 at 25 sideline,put in repair. Motion carried. • Councilors Biengessner and Erb moved the adjountneht of Council until May 26. Don't Be One. Here is how Billy Suuday defines a knocker: "A knocker is a two -legged animal with a corkscrew soul and a sewer - soaked heart. He's got a backbone made out of jelly and glue, and where others have a heart he has a tumour of rotten principals. People ought to have a mind and not to knock, arid whenever toworkoa a knocker comes down the street, honest men turn their backs; the angels take refuge behind their golden harps, They don't want to look—people who have a mind to work. Arid the devil double locks his gates for fear he will get in there. Don't yott know there are lots of people sitting around ill every town, growing like at broody hen,knocking every good thing dowiil Don't be that Wad of olittiah;, for they *&ft no tie on Not, W roxeter Mrs. Stillwell of Gorrie, formerly of this place, left Gorrie on Monday after- noon train for Montreal, from where she will sail for her 'mother's home in Eng - and She will nurse her mother, who is at present quite ill, Mrs. Stillwell ex- pects to meet her husband there ' who recently carne from France.

Make this beauty lotion for a few cents and see for yourself • What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion bletu- ishes; to whiten the skin and bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should he mixed with orchard white this way, Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons tato a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and yott have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so -no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain lure and fresh for months When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands, it should help to bleach, clear smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the leptons, Got his Deserts One evening recently a dozen young ladies from Orangeville went down to Cal- edon to meet the returning soldiers and one girl will remember it for moons. After boarding the' train she spied what she thought was her objective and immed- iately advanced She bombarded him with kisses, and he, being used to gas and powder made a counter attack, When she realized her mistake she retreated and nearly fainted. The soldier laughingly remarked: ',Orangeville must be a grand town," And old lady in the train rather consoled the discomfited damsel with the remark. "Never mind, my dear, they de- serve it, every one of them." The Farmer's Daughter. By th new Assessment Act which comes into effect this year, farmers' daughters, who' are over 21. years of age are to be entered on the assessment roll and copied into the voter's list with the letters F. D. after their names, giving them the right to vote at municipal elect- ions the same as farmers' sons were over 40 years ago. Farmers' wives have not been put on a municipal equality with their grown up daughters, which is some- thing that will surely be remedied next session. The municipal enfranchisement of farmers' daughters will increase the number of polling places in some town- ships but it will not increase the represent. anon at County Council for the names of f inner l' daughters on the lista are not to count when computing the number tirf *mei an the 'd'eter's Deft.

ADDRESS • 14 TAKING AIR SOUNDINGS ON THE ALANTIC.. 29 _ In future days when one takes a casual flight across the Atlantic, in a Detroit flying flivver, the success of the trip can be credited to the Brit- ish A_r Ministry in general, the me- teorological in particular and Lieut. Guy Harris, F.R.M.S., R.A.F., specifi- cally. Lieut. Harris arrivea in St. John recently, the •only passenger on board the Canadian Pacific Steam- ship ,Montcalm. He is the com- mander of the . Atlantic upper air investigation expedition which under the control • of the Royal Air Ministry will chart every air current and make the air route across the Atlantic as sure and safe as the water pathway, Weather news bureaus will also be inaugur- ated to furnish up -to -,.the -second in- formation regarding all aerial condi- tions -A representative of the press visit- ed the vessel and examined the spe- cial apparatus with which she was fitted for the experiments. At first sight it seems to be simple enough, for it consists only of winches, 'ire, box kites, and a meteorgraph, but the meteorgraph is itself a complicated and intricate instrument, and kite - flying for scientific purposes it not quite the schoolboy fun that many people imagine' it to be. The kites used are of three types, and the larg- est of these, which measures roughly, 8 ft. by 6 ft., exerts a pull In a strong wind sufficient to strain the, holding power of four men. Besides the box kite there is a crown kite, 16 feet long and 12 feet high, with a main plane - and two keels; the heel kite is smaller and is used mostly as a pilot kite to assist the others up. There are two winches, one placed en the foe"she deck for use when the wind is aft, and the other for use when the wind is ahead or abeam, is to be sent off on the gun platform in the stern of the ship. By these means the mooring cables Which are of fine steel wire very similar to marine sounding cable will be kept clear of rigging and derricks whatever may be the angle from the ship at which , the kite is flying. When the soundings are taken two kites are attnebed to the cable -end a pilot of light make and 400 feet behind it one of the bigger box kites carrying meteorgraph. The air eur- rents and varieties of atmospheric firessure vary in layers upwards, and soundings can be taken up to a heirrht of four or five miles. The meteorgraph, a eomparatively small instrument combining three devices in oae, reeords at the same time, by; pr it point: marking a chart on a re Volving drum, the humidity of the air, atnto:apherie pressure, and the; apecd of the wind, all factors of the utmost importance in the consider- ation of flight.
