AN ANOMALULS bllLATlON Thf local election for Arieniewiii on Monday last lesulted in an unusually small vote, kss than half of the avaH- able votf of 1555 being cast It looked IS ihouRh many of the ratepayers re- sented the fact that a votv had to be Uken this year. Two of the new can- didates had aniiouncid themselves as favourable to doing away with statute labor, Rnd both were defeated, while the voters registered unmistakably their whok-hearled approval for which the defeated men stood. It is rather difficult to account for ;in an- omaly like this in any other way than that it was for the reason mentioned abrive. The old council is to be con- gratulatfd uixm the confidence again plac(<l in thciii. Card of Theuiks I'o the Electors of Aiteinesia: Ladies and (ientlemen,- I wibh to i'X])ress my appreciation of the conft- dencf you have placed in me in elect- ing me by acclamation to the olfieo iif Depuly-Keeve. 1 would also like to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks for your confidence in the ability of the Council in again sup- porting the policy of government a.«sislance in the maintenance of our roads. I solicit the co-operation of all the ratepayers in our effort to pro- mote a .sound, sane and economical road policy. 1 believe the policy that should be adopted by the council-elect is one for the general good of the whole township, uninfluenced by the personal desires of the council or a section of the ratepayers. It is not the policy of the council to go into an elaborate scheme of road building at this time and we would caution the ratepayers not to expect too much from the new system the first year. I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a prosperous year in !0.?8. Yours truly, â€" G. K. WAULING. Abolished The Fruis Card of Thanks tDlTOKIAL NOTES Over in California a zoo possesses a monkey which regularly smokes cigar- ettes as naturally as many of our Can- adian ladils in the big cities, if that monkey could speak he would probably be heard saying "Give me a light, big Bister." • • • It is in the news that Lanada is pre- paring on a larpe scale for war. rier battle ships are not much to talK about but her air ships will l)e some- thing to be proud of, so far as one can be proud of anything so destructive of human life as the mwiern bombing plane. It is startling, to say the least to learn that Canada has contracted for eighteen of these weapons oj wholesale murder â€" th« fastest bomb- • insr planes in the world, machines that will fly nearly .iOO miles jier hour with a full load of bombs, and with a cruis- ing range of 1000 miles. It is expec- ted that these carrin birds will cost a million and a half dollars. Thiiiic of that for a small country. Doesn't it make the vertebra of every loyal Canadian stiffen and his head go up! I'o the Electors of Artemesia: Ladies and Gentlemen,- It is with a deep sense of aiipreciation that I wish to thank all who so ably supported me HI the polls on .Monday The decision ')f tile ratepayers as regards the gov- oinmeiit improved system was most gratifying to me Wishing you all the compliments of the season, I remain Yours respectfully, â€"GEO. CAIRNS. Card of Thanks To the Electors of Artemesia: Liidies and Gentlemen- I wish to toke this way to express my apprecia- tion of your support in again electing me to the Council board. I will con- tinue to sei-ve you to the best of my ability. May your Christmas be a liappy one and the new year bring prosperity to you. Yours truly, â€"ROBT. U. PURVIS. Frills and pomp were dispensetl with when Ontario's new lieutenant- governor, Albert Matthews, formally opened the first session of the provin- ce's 20th Legislature December 1. The King's representative wore morn- ing clothes instead oflhe customary Windsor uniform. There was no state procession to th«. legislative buildings for the ouening, no booming guns in salute. The lieu- tenant-governor was not met at the main entrance by a guard of honour and no escort led the way to the legis- lative chamber. "We got along very well with only one formal opening of the last legis- lature in three years," Premier Hep- burn said. "I think we can very well do without them altogether". As soon as Dr. Bruce moved out of Chorley Park the mansion was closed and only sufficient staff retained to maintain the house and grounds in good order, the premier said. All of the pictures of any historical value will be moved to Queen's Park and some of the furniture which can be used in the remodelled Speaker's chambers will also be kept. The re- mainder of the contents, the premier I'xpects, will be sold at auction while the government is seeking a purchas- er for the house itself. Card of Thanks SHOWI'li FOR MR. ANO MRS. JAS.

KICIIAKD.SO.N Don't Want Fat Hogs It is particularly difficult in these days of lots of feed and low prices to get farmers to realize that the market does not want a fat hog, at least not a hog of the fatted type, so popular a decade or so ago. The hog that takes the premium today is the select bacon type which is, comparatively speak- ing, a lean hog weighing 180 to 220 pounds off cars at stock yards. Such hogs have a jowl and shoulder light and smooth, a back from neck to tail evenly fleshed, a side long dropping straight from the back, a belly show- ing thickness of fleshing, a flank well let down and firm, a ham full, and a good general finish with no excess fat. The best way to understand the type of hog that gets the dollar prem- ium is to visit the stockyard or abat- toir or grading station where hog grading is being done and see for yourself the type of hog that nets the dollar premium for the producer. inspector Was Caught It doesn't pay to be neglectful or forgetful as was evidenced when the radio inspector dropped Into town this week on a surprise visit. A number were caught napping and a number of licenses and fines were gathered in from those who had just forgotten. A good story is told at the expense of an inspector on a recent visit. He dropped into town and with a great ieal of authority happened to call at a home where the license was not paid and the radio had been in the house only about ten days. No matter, the license and fine had to be paid. Stinging under the penalty extracted, the householder noticed the visitor pass a stop sign without notice, and he whispered the note to the proper au- thority and had the satisfaction of seeing Mr. Inspector mulcted some $1.'? for the offence. Human nature is like that, you know. â€" Meaford Express. BIG POULTRY FAIR IN MARKDALE FRIDAY.
