MAY. 28, ABOUT LIGHTNING RODS. DURHAM EGG CIRCLE. This section of Durham County has had many fires from barns and other buildings being struck by lightning, and so it is timely that a Bulletin in advocating the use of lightning rods on buildings has been issued by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Prof. W. H. Day, of Ontario Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, is the author and he demonstrates, after a senes of investigations covering thirteen years, that lightning road are the protection that science claims them to be. In Ontario in 1912 the efficiency of rods was 94% per cent, From the reports of insurance companies Prof. Day found that in every 200 farm buildings insured, 4 2 were rodded, which is 21 per cent, but out of every 200 farm buildings struck by lightning only 3 were rodded. In this connection Prof. Day observes "We should have expected 42 if the rods were ho good." Lightning rods in Iowa are recorded as showing an efficiency of 98.7 P er cent, and inspected rods in Michigan show.an efficiency efficiency 99.9 per cent. Records in Iowa show that for the eight years 1905-1912 the average number of insurance companies companies carrying risks on rodded buildings was 55. The highest number of companies reporting reporting in any one year was 68 and the lowest 46. The total lightning claims paid by all these companies for the whole eight years on rodded buildings was only $4464.30--an average of $10.15 per company company per year. On unrodded buildings paid lightning claims amounting to the large sum of $341,065.32, which is an average of $775-15 Per company per year, and the number of unrodded buildings was the same as the rodded ones. In Michigan where a company insures only rodded buildings which have been inspected a risk of $55,172,075 was carried during four years and damage claims arising arising from lightning during that time total-» led only $32. These and other proofs submitted by Prof. Day are practical demonstrations of the scientific fact that lightning rods properly properly Installed are a protection. In giving directions for the proper rodding of buildings the reader is reminded that lightning is electricity. Rods should be in metallic connection with the building and that no insulators should be used. This method of attachment is directly opposite opposite to that adopted when lightning rods were first used. Under the direction of Mr. R. S._Duncan, S._Duncan, Representative Dept, of Agriculture, a fresh egg organization has been formed in Darlington Township known as the Durham Egg Circle with these officers : President--K. Squair; Sec'y.-Treas.--Ed. Hoar; Directors--M. Wight, R. Bragg, W. Downey, F. Battle, Chas. Carruthers; Managers--Snowden ScPainton, Bowmanville. Bowmanville. The object of such an association is to market eggs of the best possible quality, and sell the eggs delivered by the members at the highest possible prices. To do this each member of the circle agrees to gather eggs twice a day and eggs must be clean, of good size and not more than one week old when marketed. The managers call on the members at least once a week, check over the eggs and dispose of them in the best market where highest prices are obtained. Farmers Farmers wishing to share in the benefits of the Circle should get information at once from any of the above officers. THE WEST END HOUSE Now is a Busy Time Getting the Summer Cottages Opened Up 8 1 8 WEDDING G OODFELLOW-- W ILKINS A pretty wedding took place May 21 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins of 24 Elm Avenue, Rosedale, when their daughter, daughter, Olive, was united in marriage with Mr. Graydon Goodfellow, of Whitby.

The bridesmaid was Miss Elsie Ashall, who wore pale pink silk Bedford cord, draped over shadow lace. Two little nieces of the bride, Misses Jessie and Mildred Mildred Wilkins, were charming flower girls. Mr. Bruce V, McCrimmon was best man. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. T. T. Shields of Jarvis-st. Baptist Church. During the signing of the register Mrs. T. Russell Wilkins of Woodstock, sang "Oh Fair, oh Sweet, oh Holy". On their return return the young couple will reside at Whitby. Mr. Goodfellow's newspaper confreres offer heartiest congratulations to him and his bride. I OBITUARY THE MOTORCYCLE. The motorcycle is a portable gasoline engine with-a stuttering form of speech and the disposition of a coyote. It is used to carry people from one point to another at the rate of one mile every fifteen seconds seconds and incidentally to discourage pedestrians pedestrians from crossing the street without having to duck under a dray. M otorcycles are so constructed _ that they never kill anybody except the innocent innocent bystander. Nobody ever heard of a motorcycle blowing up and kicking a speed maniac into the future state. The motorcycle always picks out somebody who is in perfect health and shuffles him into the great beyond before he has time to straighten out an overcharge at the butcher shop. On this account, motorcycle motorcycle victims should be regulated by law* and nobody should be allowed to be killed killed by one unless his life insurance will wipe out his outstanding debts. Motorcycle riders always wear green goggles so that they cannot see anybody who gets in the way. This gives them a comfortable sense of security and enables enables them to run down people who ought to be on the sidewalk or up a -tree without being annoyed by their conscience. As the owner of a motorcycle aims to ride with his head down, he never knows when he passes ,over a lady victim unless he punctures his rear tire on her hatpin. The motorcycle has a deep-toned exhaust exhaust which warns pedestrians that the most successful form of sudden death ever invented is about to perform in their midst. Many a pedestrian has heard this exhaust coming down the road two miles away and tried to get across the street in two frenzied jumps, only to be overtaken in the second leap and scattered in four directions from -his last transfer. It is more dangerous to attempt to pass in front of an intoxicated motorcycle than it is to mount a trolly car backward. Some motorcyclists slow up on passing through a crowd, but they make up for it by burning large holes in suburban pavements. pavements. -- Samuel Snowden, Maple Grove Another of the old landmarks of Darlington Darlington has gone to his reward in the person person of Mr. Samuel Snowden who passed peacefully away on May 14th. He was born in Pyworthy, Devonshire. England, in 1835. He learned the blacksmith trade when a boy. He married Miss Sarah Grace Bellett in 1857 and came to Canada two days later, taking nine weeks to cross' the ocean. He went to Jiampton and worked at his trade for some time until he had the misfortune to lose three fingers off his hand. He then went farming, haying haying bought a farm north of Maple Grove. After a few years he bought another, the Thomas homestead, and with the help of his large family he cleared this, and then he retired on the Wm. McClellan homestead homestead near there. A little later he moved out on the Kingston Road near his son Samuel, but wishing to go back to his old homestead to end his days was allowed to do so. He leaves a devoted wife, one daughter, Mrs. John Sanders, Bowmanville, Bowmanville, and six sons, Thomas, John, Samuel, Richard, William, and Charles to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. The funeral was held at the residence of his son William on Saturday, 16th inst., and was largely attended by friends and neighbors. The pall bearers were his six sons, the service being conducted by his pastor, Rev. S. F. Dixon, Couriice, assisted assisted by Rev. H. B. Kenny. Bowmanville, both at house and grave. The floral offerings offerings were beautiful including, a. pillow from his family with "Father" in immortelles, immortelles, a wreath from his grandchildren, and many others. He was a staunch Liberal Liberal in politics, and an upright and honest citizen, and a good neighbor, ever ready to help a needy friend or cause. The following interesting information has been handed us regarding the late Samuel Snowden and the late Edward Trenouth who died at Hampton May 6th. These two young men lived in the same village in Devonshire, England, and married married young women living under the same roof in another village. The two couples sailed in the same boat for Canada in 1857. Their ages were 20, 21, 22 and 23 years. DARLINGTON FOOTBALL LEAGUE SCHEDULE.
