January 16th, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE â- W' â- II9IIHI THE Flesherton Advance W. H. THURSTON, . Editor THE ETHICS OF BARTER A caac .was tried at Orangeville lately that nipv prove /i precedent in the matter of h»«»f and .snle and set a standard^J[4«^aU business transac- ' iMj^nd which those who do bus- iness may not go. A certain gentleman sold a span of horses to another man for $262. After the purchaser had taken the team home he discovered that one of the animals had the heaves. He therefore sued the seller for one half the price he had paid. Judgment was reserved. The point of most interest lies here : Was that seller justified in disposing of the team for the price of sound animals, without informing the purchaser of any defects there might be? Is any man justified in selling to another a defecti%-e article without drawing the attention of the purchaser to th<j defect? From a moral point of view he is not. A business man will not do it intention- ally, because he could not continue to do business along such lines. But apart from expediency, the system of trying to palm off a defective art- icle for the price of a perfect one is altogether wronjr, and whether the law's intracie.j will not allow an act of this kind or not, the moral law says "No" and the moral law is a higher law and more to be ptiarded than even the civil law. election the ratepayers of Dur ham voted down a by-law to instal a water system by a vote of 09 for and 212 against. The people of Durham are heriocally brave in defying the army of microbes which infest their drink. • • • * County Council will meet in Owen Sound on Tuesday of next week. The item of business which interests people of this district the most is the Wardenship. There are only two candidates in the field and both are from this township and villageâ€" Keove T. R. McKenzie of Artemesia and fieeve Dan McTavish of Flesher- ton. Both have strong claims to the honor and both are doing their level best to secure the coveted plum. It will be a braw fecht, "begorra." Letter From W. H. Sloan Mr. Editor and staff and many readers of the Flesherton Advance : Another year has gone with its many changes. I suppose we will see and notice them more than the people back there. We look forward for The Advance coming every week to see how our friends and old ac- quaintances are getting along, and we feel sad at times when we read of some good old friend and neighbor wlio lias gone on before. We are still enjoying the mild climate here. It has been nice and mild all winter so far, a little snow January 1st at night, but is nice and mild to-day. If there is any news you would wish, just write me. We join in wishing Mr. Editor .nnd Staff and the many readfi's of Tlie Advance a happy and prosperous new year. â€" W. H. .SLOAN & FAMILY. msmams mrm Ceylon Boy Was Popular j At Glenella, Man. Ivan McLaughlin, son of Mr. and Mrs. U. McLachlan of Ceylon, spent \ Christmas holidays at his home there, i but left a week or so ago to take a I position in a bank. I A couple of years ago Ivan went to I Glenella, Man., to learn telegraphy with his uncle, Mr. Geo. Cairns. After completing the course he was too young to take an office, so took a I position in a bank. The Genella Gaz- ; ette, referring to his departure says : j "On Monday night a large crowd i gathered in the Orange Hall to bid farewell and God speed to Ivan Mc- Laughlin, who left for his home at Flesherton, Ontario, after a sojourn here of several years. Ivan, although | not yet 18 years of age, was one of | the most popular of our young men, as well as being exceptionally effic- i lent in any work he undertook. We have no hesitation in predicting a bright future for Ivan, and can assure him that Glenella will always be proud of him. He was a member of the local Orange order, and the I members took advantage of the occa- j sion to present him with a valuable ] club bag. Other citizens of the town i also wished to show their appreciation ' of his Stirling character, and a small j purse of money was collected and pre- I sented to him. We hope that it will j only be a short time before Ivan will i decide to return to our midst, if not permanently, for a vsit at least." 00©l»<»l»4»46i4»Oi»««><9M»«O«»«M»$«»l9»i»<»fi^4»O«O«K»«l«^<»«MG»«99OOOOO^4 Delay No Longer! ® EVERY day that you let slip past is a lost opportun- ity for you to attain the ownership oi a new Super- ior Chevrolet car this Spring.

THE AUTHORIZED CHEV- ROLET DEALER WILL BE PLEASED TO GIVE YOU DETAILS. WE TRAVEL TOO FAST Hon. W. F. Nickle, Attorney-Gen- eral, issues a strong word of warn- ing to the people of Ontario which it would be well for us to heed. He cites the automobile as the greatest sinner in regard to the squandering of funds. But the government itself has sinned in this re-spect, and there are other ways in which the Ontario Government could show its bona fides if it wishes the people to economize. It should set a pronounced example in some way that would make the people take notice. Let it start by cutting down some of its deparmcifts and simplifying others. We have yet to see any evidence of economy in the administration of affairs in this prov- ince. On the other hand there seems to be a Diogenes somewhere around the parliament buildings who wanders around with a lantern trying to dis- cover new methods of taxation. Mr. Nchols remarks were interest- ing, however, and we quote him as re- ported in the Globe : "Mr. Nichol stressed the need for economy in every political depart- ment of home, business and political life, if the storms of busine,ss de- pression were to be successfully weathered. He gave figures showing that Ontaroi's automobile debt, in- volving purchase price, uplceep and depreciation as well as the expense of maintaining numerous motor high- ways, exceeded by far the total value of her crops in the past year. He was not quarrelling with the automo- bile or the enjoyment thereof; but in- sisted that if we spent the money in that way, in order to keep the books balanced, Ontario must economize elsewhere. The laws of economics would to permit such ack of balance for any length of timp, he insisted." Miscellaneous Shower For Mr. and Mrs. Banning On Monday evening, December 31, about seventy friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Seth Henning met at tlieir home on the 4th line. St. Vin- cent, carrying with them the necess- ary gifts for a miscellaneous shower. The evening was spent in dancing and as the old year was passing out, the bride and groom were called to the dining room where the gifts were dis- played and the following address was read by Miss M. E. Logan : â€" To Mr. and Mrs. Seth Henning : Seth and Freda : â€" We, your friends and neighbors, having heard of the recent plunge you have taken into the mysterious sea called matrimony,, have called this evening to give you some sage advice which of course - "'1 not be fol- lowed, but by giving it we will relieve our minds and ease our conscience. Freda, a good many husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some people proceed as if their hus- bands were bladders and blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot w'ater. Others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stewlsy their ir- ritating ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives. It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and pood if managed in this way. But if properly treated even a •Itli line boy may become really de- licious. The following is a tested re- cipe for cookng husbands : A presering kettle of finest porcel- is best but if you have nothing BORN HARPELLâ€" At Grace hospital, To ronto on Thursday, January 10, 1924, â-  to Mr. and Mrs. A.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS LET US KNOW THE RESULT A dispatch from southern Ontario states that the English pheasants, which the Ontario Government has for some years been trying to natur- alize, are having a hard time of it this winter and that farmers arc actually feeding the birds along with their domestic fowl. If the English pheasant cannot stand the rigors of our Southern Ontario winters, what about the diffculties up here where the winters are much more severe? We are informed that the experiment at Eugenia has been a pronounced failure, in several ways. The menag- erie end f it, also has been a failui'e, according to our information. .Any- way, we would like to know just how much of a success it has proved The Department of Game and P'iaher- ies should make the information public. m # ^ THE INCOME TAX Sir Joseph Flavclle, in speaking be- fore the Canadian Club in Toronto, expressed the opinion that the income tax should be cut in half. As a man who handles a big income he naturally would have an idea of that kind, but the 76 per cent, or more of individuals who have not sufficient income on which it is necer -try to pay income tax will disaicree with Mr. Plavelle, •t the same time expressing their entire willingness to pay the tax if Mlaries were large enough to make it inevmbent on them to do so. but an earthenware pipkn, it will do with care. See that the linen you wrap him in is nicely washed and mended with the required number of buttons and strings tighty sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a strong silk cord called comfort as the one called duty IS apt to be weak. Make a clear steady fire out of love, neatness and cheerfulness. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and fizzles do not be anxi- ous as some husbads do this until they are narly done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confection- ers call kisses, but no vinegar, nor (lepper on any account, a little spice improves him, but it must be used I ** with judgment.
