He was charg- I ed with driving a horse on the high- ; iX'ay in an underfed and unfit con- , dition, thereby ill-treating the same. In court it was alleged that the ani- mal was in a pitiful condition, but ' the accused told a story which chang- \ ed the whole complexion of the case. He covered 24 miles on his route I every day, including coming and go- ing to work, for which he was paid $1.75 per day. he told the magistrate. With this sum he was supposed to provide a horse and equipment and the balance went to his own keep. (Gar- field McKinnon. secretary of the Ru- ral Mail Contractors' Association, cor- roborated the man's story and pleaded jfov leniency, to which both Inspector I Dalrymple and John Murray, prosecu- jtor for the Humane Society, agreed and accordingly the charge was drop- I ped upon conditions that the horse is withdrawn from the service. â€" GENERAL HARDWARE SNOWSHOES SKIS CROSSCUT SAWS AXES AXE HANDLES ETC.

A letter in the "Homemaker page of the Toronto Globe recently from a rural reader discussed 'a situation which is fast becoming one of the vital ones of rural commercial life. Is the day of the small village ovei*? Is the automobile and the glamor of the large city going to destroy the numerous thriving communities throughout the rural sections of the country ? It looks like it. The wri- ter to "Homemaker Page" evidently has; a broader vision than the aver- age farmer or farmer's wife for she says: â€" "Surely the people can see that by tripping here and there and every- where to do their shopping they are closing up the business places in the small towns. Do they not see that with the closing up of stores in their home towns their properties are less valu- able? Even the enthusiastic church people do not seem to realize that the storekeeper is really among the best supporters of the church. He is called on first with every subscription list.to buy tickets for this and that, but tell me how he can be expected to support church or anything else if the people do not buy his goods?

Amusemert Tax Abuse From the .\lliston Herald Some little time ago when the anuisement tax department commenc- ed to tighten up on church entertjjiin ments The Herald made the remark that officials of the church? might well guard their collection plates as the amusement tax officials were li- able to interpret their powers to the length of taking their percentage from the Sunday receipts. It now looks as if the vultures of the amuse- ment tax collection organizp.tion are insidiously preparing to ; tick their talons into church trea^'.ies by some subtle means of theh- own devising. No church may now hold an enter- tainment of any kind in the province of Ontario without first getting an exemption from liability to the amuse- ment tax from the amusement tax col- lection squad. And the strange thing about it is that no protest? have been made against the arbitrary ruling of the amusement tax people. One lit- tle order following anokher has been made every year or two till now churches must get an exemption. MISCELLANEOUS NOTICEâ€" Chopping done on Tues- day and Saturday. â€" Graham Bros.
