/ Vol.44 No. 32 Flesherton, Ontario, January 9, 1924 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors EUGENIA The camp at the new pipe line is now closed and the work of excavat- ' ing is completed with the exception of some finishing off which is being done by local men. The big steel pipe is being teamed from the sta- tion and it is expected that the worlt on the pipe will soon start if the weather is favorable. There has been air exceptionally nice lot of men on the excavating work, mostly boys from England, Ireland and Scotland who came out on the excursion to the West last harvest time, boys who seemed ready to take hold of any work which might present itself, and although the w6rk was anything but pleasant here owing to the great' depth of mud, the boys stuck; boys of refinement, a great many of them as was evidenced on Christmas eve, when Eugenia, for the first time in many years, has enjoyed the beautiful and touching carol singing which a number of the boys from the camp favored us with and were joined by a few of the local lads. The boys sang a carol at the door of every home and were treated by the resi- dents as they went along, after which Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Large served lunch at the home of Mrs. Morgan. The young men during their stay here organized a band, which caused great amusement and helped to while away the long evenings, and so their time was spent, not in rowdy- ism as is the case in many camps, but good, clean fun. The villagers who came to know a number of the young men regretted their going away, but wish them success wherever they go. Miss Halbert, our teacher, resumed her duties here on Thursday last. Mr. Thompson. Sask visited his cousin, Mrs. L. Latimer, during the past week. It is some 25 years since Mr. Thompson visited these parts. Mr. and Mrs. Em Proctor, accomp- anied by Mrs. Latimer, spent New Years with the former's parents at Kimberley, Mrs. Latimer remaining for a few days' visit with friends. Miss Georgina Smith has returned to the city to resume her work there. Mrs. Large entertained a few of her friends on Thursday evening of last week in honor of her friend. Miss Jean Wright, who has been visit- ing her. The first real storm of the season came on Saturday last and was keenly felt after the very mild weather which we have been enjoying up un- til the day before Christmas. Mos- quitoes were flying around in clouds just a day before Christmas and flowers were in full bloom in the gar- dens. W. E. Morgan picked a bunch of flowers from his flower bed on December 22nd in- full bloom. The dandelions were in bloom in the fields and ripe raspberries were picked a couple of weeks previous to Christ- mas. The Gordon family all had the pleasure of seeing a robin on Christmas day, all giving evidence of the wonderful fall which we have enjoyed and which will help to short- en the long winter months, which we generally have. The many friends of George Paul of Aneroid, Sask., are pleased to see him back to the old home again. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McKee enter- tained a number of youno' people to a New Years day. Owing to the storm on Sunday very few were out to service on Sundav morning. Rev. Mr. Harrower, how- ever, managed to get out and after holding a short service returned to Flesherton. Mr. and Mrs. A. Hov drove to Meaford on Saturday and are spend- ing a few days with the latter's sister ' Mrs. A. Tuohy. Mr. and Mrs. A. Carruthers enter- tained a number of the young to a dance on New Years night and all spent a jolly evening. Gerald and Ken Large took in the dance given by the Markdale girls on New Years evening. Douglas Koe, who hal been in the employ of the H.E.P.C. on the pipe line, is suffering from a bad attack of tonsilitis and inf lamatory rheuma- tism, and is being looked after at the Eugena House under the care of Dr. Guy. The Collingwood Enterprise thinks there should be an investigation into the fire which dc-itroyed the Col- legiate Institute in that town, ir order to prove to the world that the author- ities didn't burn it down to get the insuraivce.

Caustic potash is sold in sticks about the thickness of a lead pencil and may be obtained at any drug store for about fiftteen cents. To get the best results, the opera- tion should be done before the calf is over ten days of age. Up to and before that age the young horn, knob or bud is only loosely attached to the skull and ;.5 more a part of the skin than of the skull itself. First clip off the hai" over and around the horns and appl; vaseline around the edge of the hair al'-.er clipping. This prevents the caustic potash from spreading beyond the horny surface. Now moisten the end oi the caustic (not with the tongue) and rub it on each horn surface alternately for four or five times, allowing each applica- tion to dry before applying the next.

They may be nuisances, but they get the same protection as oth»r furry creatures, such as the black squirrel, says the game warden. For a sample of unjust laws, this is sur- ely the limit. It leaves one more helpless than if attacked by a burglar for no matter how the skunk may muss up your Sunday suit ,thc law prohibits retaliation. This sure is a free country for bootleg-gers, burglars and skunks. â€" Ex. ® 1st Stock Taking We have some lines of shoes to clear out at bargain prices in oxfords and strap shoes.
