COUNTY ROADS TO BE CONTINUED AS USUAL THIS YEAR Local Chaff According to County Road Superin- tendent John Johnstone, county road construction will go ahead much as usual this year, and there will be a- bout fl50,000 of construction on the four centres of operation during this year. Work will be commenced as soon as practicable on the Keppel, CoUingwood, PriceviUe and Glenelg scenes of operation. At the January meeting of the countyq council a report of the county roads committee recommended that, should the Province not remove the 20 per cent, levy on all Provincial highway construction, the work in the county should be greatly curtailed, ^his action was taken because the Province had recently billed the county for |25,000 for 1922 construc- tion, and ?55,000 for 1923 construc- tion. The Province has only collect- ed the ?25,000 bill at present, deduct- ing it from the regular grant. Since the Province has taken this action county rtjfed %'>rk may be continued as other years.

The funeral took place to Tlixis Square Took Meetins Salem cemetery on Tuesday, April 1. j ** Flesherton public library board has i decided to purchase some new books Last week the sap was running very freely and syrup was being offered in town over the week end. The price this year is just about the same as last year, around $2.75 per gallon. More people are using their maple bushes this year for syrup making than has been the custom for a num- ber of years. The season is expected to be a good one and plenty of syrup will be offered. Mr. Walter Akitt is tapping extensively this year, having a first class evaporator which he in- stalled last year, and expects to have 1400 trees tapped before the season closes. Mr. J. A. Lever has over 300 trees tapped, and hosts of others in the township have less than that. The uality of thesyr up is first class. Mr. Akitt marketed 75 gallons Saturday and Monday. at once, and a committee was ap- pointed to make selections during the year. The store of S. Osborne, Maxwell, is closed for business this week.owing to stock-taking, the business having heen purchased by Mr. W. Wright of Maxwell. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Warling and family moved into half of the W. E. Richardson residence which was pur- chased by Mr. John Nuhn recently. Mr. Thomas Bentham has taken poss- ession of the other half of the house. Mr. and Mrs. J. Runstadler have re- turned to town after spending the winter in Toronto, and have taken up their residence in the new apartments completed last fall by Mr. Armstrong^ on Sydenham street.

I A 19 pound boy was born to an Ogdensburg, N.Y., woman on Wed- I nesday. Disoatches say that the mother is doing well. Personally we would say that she couldn't do much better. , Viscountess Lascelles, according to ' dispatches from England, "expects to become a mother in August." We wonder what some Flesherton women would do if the .A-dvance started in to broadcast news of this nature in its "coming events" column? Mrs. John Manning and son. Mr. ' George Manning, of Brussels, came over last week to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mathewson. Mrs. Mann- ing will remain for the summer with Mrs. Mathewson and Mrs. J. Lever, who are her daughters. Mr. Mann- ing returned home Monday. The Advance would like to receive letters from its subscribers, especially old Flesherton boys, in distant parts, telling us of conditions or anything that would be interesting to readers. The letter from Mr. LeGard, publish- ed this week, is a splendid example of an interesting letter from one who went into the West some years ago. The auction sale of the farm stock and implements of Mr. Roy Thistle- thwaite 8 on Friday last was a sue- , cess, everything being sold at faie-. , prices. A good crowd was in attend- ^ ance. Mr. Ross Alcox of the Toron- to Line North has rented the farm for a year and took possession of the property on Monday. Miss Lorine Batty entertained a number of her little girl friends to a birthday party on Saturday last. The tea table looked pretty in yellow and white, with Easter decorations and yellow candles. The birthday cake made a pretty centre piece with ten brightly burning candles. After the tea was over the girls enjoyed them- ; selves playing games. i The chemical engine was given a run on Saturday afternoon to W. L. Wright's store, when it was discover- ed that the chimney was bnrning out.- Some paper had been burned in the fire place and the chimney caught. Dense clouds of smoke were given off which, from the street, looked as though the roof was on fire. ' The Tuxis Square took charge of the Young People's Society on Mon- day evening and gave a fine program. Mr. George Akins gave an address on Lloyd George, Eric Dowling enter- tained the gathering with selections on the piano, his own compositions and W. Ibbitt gave a couple of read- ings which were well received. Sev- eral choruses and quartettes were given by the boys, which were much enjoyed. The evening was very pro- fitable for those who attended. THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF IT. Overheard on the street April 1 : Sammie â€" "Nobody can make a fool of me." Tommie â€" "Aw, shucks ! nobody can't make something what has al- ready been made." Flesherton School Report after Sold His Business Mr. W. H. Bunt Sold Hit Businets To Thos. W. Findlay, Owen Sound WAS HERE 26 YEARS A business deal of importance took place in town last week when Mr. W. H. Bunt, undertaker and furniture dealer, disposed of his business to Mr. Thomas W. Findlay of Owen Sound, the new owner taking possession on April Ist. Mr. Findlay has been liv- ing in Owen Sound for the past couple of years and lately has been employed with an undertaking firm there, learn- ing the business, Mr. Bunt intends to continue on and assist Mr. Findlay in the undertaking business With the exception of one year spent in Owen Sound Mr. Bunt has been a continuous resident of Flesher- ton for twenty-six years, having bought the business from Mr. J. E. Moore, who is at present in Cali- fornia. Mr. John Chapman of To- ronto was the owner during Mr. Bunt's year's absence. The business was carried on in the old three story Strain block for years until it was detitrc-yed by fire a year ago last Augujt. Since then Mr. Bunt has used the W. Moore building for his show and sales room. During Mr. Bunt's long residence !n Flesherton he has made a host of friends through his fair business deal- ings, besides his other activities and all are sorry to see him dispose of his business, but the world is "massing on the responsibility of business to the younger generation. Mr. Findlay is well known in Flesh- erton and surrounding territory, as he is a lover of fancy and carriage hors- es, and showed at Flesherton and other fairs last year, taking away a large number of prizes for his thoroughbreds. Mr. Findlay has a brother-in-law, Mr. MiJson, in tiie undertaking business at Chatsworth who ovns a motor l-e'trs--. ami it hjs been arranged that it will be used in connection with his business here. We welcome Mr. Findlay tot he busin- ess circles of Flesherton and wish him success in his new unlertaking.

Mc- Loughry in his cheery, jovial manner, called the company to order and in- vited the young couple to the parlor, and, in a few well chosen words on behalf of the Orange Lodge and com- pany present, extended a hearty wel- come to Mrs. Warling and asked Mrs. Harry Baker and Mrs. Frank Davis to present the presents to tlio -lung couple, which were given by the comp- any present. These were numerous. beautiful and costly, showino- the high esteem in which the young couple are held in the community.

Lectures were given on the care and feeding of the farm animals and were very instructive. A display of purebred animals was made, these belonging to animals was made, these belor-ng to the big live stock breeders of Ontario, and comprised many fine animals. <" In the afternoon the train was taken' to Owen Sound for a demonstration there as Flesherton was the only place where the demonstration was being given between Orangville and Owen Sound. Meaford tax rate has been set at 55 mills on the dollar. 7i^ Ford Ppedosninates Many Reasons Fif^ist Many Users If you were to ask the next fifty Ford owners you meet why they prefer Fords, you would get a wide variety of answers. Some would say, "Because tliey seem never to wear out;" others would answer, "Because they cost so little." Many would reply "Because I can get service any- where;" and just as many, "Because it is the only car I can aSord to owoi." All would tell you, "Because they master a bad road in an-^ weather," a woman driver would respond, "Because I can drive it so easily." From the fleet-owners you would hear, "Because I can buy two or three or four Ford Trucks for the price of one big truck. Wherever you might inquire you would hear expressed these basic reasons why Ford predominates â€" why, year after year, Ford sales equal the total sales of all other cars combined.
