Fc The Board of Agriculture of West Durham at a meeting in Bowraanville on Saturday unanimously resolved to petition the Provincial Legislature^*) refund to every county of the Province Province all moneys collected by the Government Government in the way of motor car tax, the same to be expended on the system of county roads and each county to receive receive all taxes levied in their own respective respective county. Whatcould be fairer? The proposition needs no argumentât argumentât is self-evident. The municipalities are bound to keep up the roads and should in all fairness derive any revenue revenue that accrues for automobile licenses. licenses. We need hardly call attention to the Willys-Overland Co's big 6-column advertisement on page two for it is loudly-speaking announcement itself. itself. That is an attractive display advfc. that no reader can overlook. The graceful lines of the automobile are only rivalled by the graceful lines of this splendid announcement.

If you, kind reader, are interested, interested, in buying a high class car at a price that is moderate, ask Mr. Pickard Pickard or your nearest Overland agent for a descriptive catalogue which you may have for the asking. Mr. N. W. Rowell, Leader of the Liberal Opposition, made a speech in the Ontario Legislature on Monday on the Government Bill to appoint a Commissioner of Agriculture and two deputy ministers, thus loading up the Department with more official machinery machinery at high cost to the country. President Creelman now received $2,800 a year, free residence and sup- lies and for his additional duties as ommissioner he is to get $1,700 and a Deputy to assist him. Every farmer farmer in Ontario should read Mr Rowell's common-sense address against this unnecessary unnecessary expenditure, and thinks that if the right man were appointed Min^ ister of Agriculture these extra officials officials would not be needed. Read the debate on the Bill. ?•- It makes us smile to read the eulogies eulogies appearing in the papers of publishers publishers who have recently decided to publish publish no more liquor or cigaret advertisements. advertisements. Publications like The James Papers which have turned down hundreds of dollars worth of advertising advertising in the years passed--that have never admitted liquor or cigaret advertisements advertisements into their columns--"unwept, columns--"unwept, unhonored and unsung". Well, we have the satisfaction of knowing that we have been maintaining the principles of right and helping to keep temptations out of the way of the youth of this country for nearly 40 years as editor a,nd publisher, add we are glad to have lived to see the triumph of the principles and reforms which we, have advocated and for which we have worked all these years. We are pleased to learn from the report just issued that the Canada Later Miss Hunter was received by Queen Mary at Marlborough House. Miss Hunter Hunter is in England on leave from Saloniki, Greece, where she is attached to No. I Stationary Hospital. She nieft Toronto in September, 1914, for active- service in France, and was stationed 'at Boulogne Base Hospital for some months. Later she was sent to Mudros on Lemnos Island, when the Dardanelles campaign was under way. Afterwards Miss Hunter was sent to Saloniki. BUSINESS MEN BANQUET Splendid "Get-Together" Meeting For Industrial Expansion.

Mayor Mitchell presided. After singing the National Anthem the Rev. C. P. Muirhead, Rector of St. John's, invoked the Divine blessing on the meal. The menu was all that could be desired--oyster soup, roast beef, creamed creamed potatoes, green peas, jellies, pickles, apple pie and cream, fruits, die. Before Before entering on the speech-making a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the young ladies for serving such a splendid dinner. We have only space for brief mention mention of the program this issue, but intend intend to give the address of Mr. Thomas Thomas Hardy in full next week--one of the best addresses on industrial expansion that we have heard delivered in this town--full of food for thought for every citizen. Short speeches, chiefly optimistic, were made by Messrs. J. B. Mitchell, Mayor; F. H. Mason, reeve; T. H. Knight of the Manufacturers' Landed andNational Investment Com> Committee; Rev. C. P. Muirhead, A. pany of which Dr. John Hoskin, K. G., is President, has had another very successful successful year's operations. After paying paying the usual dividends the Directors were able to place the handsome sum of $35,000 to the credit of the Reserve Fund, bringing the fund up to equal the paid up Capital, and to carry forward forward a substantial sum as well--a result result which cannot fail to be quite satisfactory satisfactory to all concerned. At the close of the annual meeting, as usual, Dr. Hoskin entertained the Directors and a few personal friends at luncheon in his beautiful home on St. George-st. Mr. W. B. Couch of this town was one of the guests and reports Bowman- ville's benefactor in excellent health and spirits and as full of energy and activity as a young man. MONEY FOR SANITARIUM Mr. Geo. A.

MISS LUCY McMURTRY One result of the present war is that thousands of young girls and young ladies, too, are learning to knit men's socks--which skill with needles was fast becoming a lost art. One little lassie in Bowmanville who has. made an enviable record at knitting is Miss Lucy Lyall, the seven-year-old daughter daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Blake McMurtry. McMurtry. This little Miss has knitted a pair of socks which was given to the Girls' Patriotic Club of Bowmanville and has netted the Club the handsome sum of $15.00. Now we wonder who the lucky soldier boy will be to receive a $16 pair of socks to wear. NIOBE SMILED AGAIN This Fine Comedy Delighted The Third Bowmanville Audience "It is given better every time they appear. If they keep on they'll become become professionals". This expression applies to the local Dramatic Club that put on the 3-act farcical comedy "Niobe, All Smiles" at the Opera House, Bowmanville, on Friday evening evening last under auspices of the Women's Auxiliary of the Hospital Board. Owing Owing to other attractions and not being effectively advertised and boomed the audience was much smaller than at thé two previous performances, but what the people lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm, for the applause was much more frequent than on former presentations. Mr. M. J. Smith was stage director and left nothing to be desired except better- working of the curtains which baulked baulked a few times. Mrs. T. A. Johnson was again accompanist and her playing playing was greatly appreciated. Every one in the cast of characters took the role assigned splendidly.

The Bowmanville Correspondent to the "Orono News" wrote last week to that paper as follows: In last week's Statesman Statesman a letter appeared from an old Hampton Hampton boy, Mr. Stephen H. Short, Vineland, North Carolina, in which he makes reference reference to some of the early features of this town. In the old da vs he speaks of, we had nine hotels in Bowmanville; Hinds', the- Waverly House; Munshaw's the present present Bowman House; Shaw's the Alma hotel; Fletcher's hotel, a frame building situated between Scott's grocery and Caldwell's Caldwell's livery; Robert Bro ie's, the Eastern House; Jos. Maynard's, the Farmer's Exchange; Exchange; Frank Henderson's saloon where the Photo gallery is now, Horsey block, and the Railway hotel kept by Hobbs & Miller, and last but not least, the Wharf hotel keptJby one by the name of Hocker- idge--there you have the nine. The G. T. R. was running for quite a number of years before Tommy Totterdale took hold of the Station hotel. Besides the Milne distillery' we had two liquor stores for many years after this date. One of the busiest spots in town in those early days was the hoi ow south of Vanstone's mill, which was then Burk's; a Pottery on the north, an Ashery, Gifford's Tannery, Squair's Oatmeal and Gristmill, and Jacob - Neads' Foundry and Machine Shop and the big distillery cattle stable where a large number of cattle were fed every winter. Pirie's tailor shop was then on the hill, Burk's general store and R. Squairis dry goods and grocery store corner corner King and Scugog sts. The old hollow was some place in those early days and a large business was done in all those places mentioned, including the distillery. British Canadian Canners will operate their factory at Cobourg the coming season, and are now arranging for produce. produce. The prices offered farmers to contract contract are higher than last year. . OBITUARY Mrs. Mary A. Draper, Toronto. This obituary notice from a Tor ont# paper is of interest to many readers whe knew Mrs. Albert Barber who lived im Bowmanville up to a few weeks before her death at the home of their son Dr. Herbert L. Barber, Burk's Falls, last Autumn, Autumn, Mr. Barber having passed away only a few weeks prior to his wife: Mrs. Mary A. Draper, the only surviving member of the Richardson family, of Scarboro, died on Feb. 12 at the home of her son, Selby Draper, I/I Cottingham-st. She was ie her 80th year. She was widow of the late Elemuel Draper, formerly of Belhaven, and a sister of the late John Richardson, ex-M. P. P. The other members of the Richardson family were Dr. Samuel Richardson, Richardson, 'of Woodsley, Ont.; Rev. James Richardson, president of Montreal Methodist Methodist Conference; Rev. Joseph Richardson, of Chicago; Mrs. Albert Barber, Bowmanville; Bowmanville; Mrs. James Gregory, St. Thomas; and Mrs. Henry Aylard, Toronto. Mrs. Draper lived in Toronto with her soa since the death of her husband. He is the clerk in charge of the Free Grant Lands for Ontario, and the only survivor. The funeral took place to Queensville. Mrs. John Hellyar, Bowmanville. For several years past Mrs. John Hellyar has been known as one of the oldest and most highly respected women in our town. Her decease at the advanced age of 87 years marks the passing of another of the pioneers of this county. Her last illness was of but few days duration and - the end came with sweet peacefulness. Mrs. Hellyar's maiden name was Catherine Catherine Brenton, and her death marks the end of a long family who emigrated to this country from Cornwall in the early fifties of the last century. For over 60 years the late John Hellyar and his wife were respected respected and honored residents in our midst and we express the sincere sorrow of scores of our citizens at their departure. As a mother in her own family our aged friend was one of the most devoted of women, as a neighbor she was ever ready to render aid, as a member of the Methodist Methodist Church she was loyal and true to the old time-honored standards of her faith, and in all the relations of her long and busy career she sought to honor the principles principles of the Gospel. So it was no wonder wonder that at the end of life . she quietly rested in her Saviour, and without sigh or 1 moan passed over to the company of the redeemed of the Church of the Firstbora. The funeral took place from the family residence on Thursday, February 15th., the services being in charge of her pastor, Rev. W. G. Clarke, B. A., who was assisted assisted by Rev. H. B. Neal, assistant pastor, Rev. W. C. Washington, M. A., who delivered delivered a very comforting and eulogistic address, and Rev. F. Woodger. The pall bearers were her two sons, John and W. H. Hellyar (Clinton) Capt. Rev. S. T. Bartlett, son-in-law, and Mr. Samuel Bartlett, grandson. Mrs. Hellyar leaves a son and daughter resident in our town, and another son and daughter in other parts. Her departure from our midst reminds us once again of the. swift succession of the generations and bids us play well our part in the duties of the present. The words of one of old were surely well illustrated in her case and leave no room for comfortless repining or sorrow, "Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season." To the harvest ingathering another ripened ripened sheaf has been added and her joy is abiding and eternal. May her works follow. '■ A druggist from Newcastle named Anderson Anderson was charged with keeping liquor for sale, in contravention of the Ontarie Temperance Act. He pleaded guilty and was fined $50 and costs, the minimum fine under this section of the act. Inspector Gooderich laid the charge. We note in a western paper that Lieut. Frank H. Morris of the Dominion Cartridge Cartridge Co., Montreal, now resident in Edmonton, Edmonton, Alta., son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Morris, Beech Ave., Bowmanville, holds the proud record of being the high professional professional trap shooter in Canada, breaking 553 day birds out of 580, an actual average average of .9534 per cent. Mr. John S. Boa of Montreal who induced Mr. Morris to take up trap-shooting came a close second with an average of .950. At a tournament in Winnipeg Lieut. Morris broke 171 out of 175 birds--certainly a very remarkable ! record. During last season he won six Dupont and Ballistite bars and diamond j locket. V
