The deciding factor in every deal is 'Who's Responsible?" We are responsible for everything we sell you, whether it be Tires, Tubes, A Patches or what not. And the fact that you know we are responsible and everybody else knows it, too, is the only thing that keeps our business good. But this responsibility' of ours would be an awful load--a. liability rather than an asset--if we didn't buy our Tires frfm people who are just as responsible to us as we are to you, and who always send us goods that we can stand back of. That is why we sell you DOMINION TIRES. Ask anybody as to our responsibility. W. J.

Gerald O. Stevenson, of the pen- alty branch, income tax office, Otta- | | wa, is spending his holidays in the | |eity. He states that the Dominion | | Income tax office is making great ef- | | forts to clear up. the returns from all | | districts. R. W. Brebner, commis- ! i-sloner of taxation, has instituted pro- | secutions of all delinquents under the | act, with the result that those who have failed to make retyrns prompt- ly upon receipt of registered notice, | are being called upon to pay fines calclulated at the rate of ten dollars per day for every ddy after receipt {of such notice, in' addition to the tax for the year 1919, Farmers are said to Be the greatest delinquents. For the year 1917, only thirty-seven farmers in the. Quebec and the mari-| time provinces made the necessary | returns, but a great improvement is now noticeable, Another class that has fallen behind consists of employ- |ers who are-required to give number and names of employees, stating | wages or salaries paid, i WALTER CONMODORE Ft THE STILL. HAD BEEN A SORT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIR The Last Time It Wa& Operated Ev- | erybody Got Drunk. Not Operated Within the Past Three Months. Walter Commodore tried- at | Smith's Falls on Monday before S. | Gordon and T W. Donaldson, justi- l.ces of the peace, on a"charge of hav- ing illicitly operated a whiskey still, was acquitted after a great many witnesses were examined. There was no lack of positive evidence, some of | the witnesses giving details of the | manufacture of the stuff and the | still itself which was secured in the | woods on Commodore's property; was | on exhibition. But other witnesses | told . opposite stories showing that | the still had been in operation out- | side of three months limit within | which a prosecution must be held, It was:shown that the still had been in the possession of many persons being' a sort of community affair, and ownership could not be fastened upon any particular person. The last time it was operated ev- | erybody got drunk, and when they woke up three bottles of the whiskey had disappeared, with one -of- their number, who had kept sober and watched his opportunity. It was al- leged that he disposed of the whis- key at $8 per bottle, The existence of the still came to the knowledge of the authorities through a little incident that happen ed at a stilling bee. One man got pushed against the hot stove upon which the mash was boiling, He was slightly burned, a row followed and in stepped the law. T. J. Rigney Ppro- | secuted the case for the department | of inland revenue, while C. R. Web- ster, watched the case in the interests of the Ontario Temprance Act. The magistrates were 8. Gordon and J. W.

The Kingston Musicians scored another success, Monday night, with their excursion to Clayton," N.Y., on the steamer St. Lawrence. The boat, with a capacity crowd aboard, left the dock at 7.30 o'clock, while on the wharf more than a hundred disap- pointed people bemoaned their fate. 'An orchestra of eight pieces played delightfully for dancing on the main deck. On the promenade deck a brass band gave an enjoyable con- cert programme, An hour was spent at Clayton sight-seeing and then the return trip began, the steamer arriv- ing at the wharf after midnight. Admired Our Cricket Field. Quite a number of visitors who spent the week-end in the city, and who attended the ball game at 'the cricket field on Saturday afternoon, admired the cricket field, and stated that it was one of the best ball dia- nds they had ever inspected. They stated 'that being right in the heart of the city, it made it most conven- ient for everyone to get to the grounds. Home From the West, Harry Williamson, of = Arena, North Dakota, after ten years' ab- sence, from the city, is here visiting his sisters, the Misses Helen and Margaret Williamson, Barrie street. and Mrs. W. H. Friendship, Frop- tenac street. Mr. Williamson runs a general store in the west and reports that the crops in North Dakota are the best in ten years. : Formerly of Kemptrville. J. G.

BUILDINGS THE BEST THEY ARE MARKETABLE WHEN | THE BUSINESS (SECTION SHIFTS Much Money .Saved Through Less Tremendous Foundations and Sub. basements--They Promote Safety and Good Health, Low buildings erected on expan- lots are more profitable than skyscrapers towering into the air in the opinion of various members of ! the National Association of Building: | Owners and Managers expressed at their annual convention at Minnea- polis; Minn., This is contradictory to the generally accepted theory of realty men. ' } Reading a paper-at one of the ses- sions on 'Analysis of the Compara- tive Investment Value of Office' Buildings of Various Heights," Ed-! win S. Jewell, of Omaha, an advocate of the low building theory, said thavo| since land values are enhanced by | the increase in population in a sec- | tion and not by the size of buildings | bon it, structures under ten stories in height were more profitable in that | a saving would be made on the tre- mendous cost of foundation and en- ormous elevator equipment. | "It a builder erects a six to eight story building in a part of the city that is the business section," Mr. Jewell said, 'and if that business | | section shifts in a decade or two, the | structure can readily be used for a! factory, warehouse, or other pur- | poses. It is still a marketable build- ing. The same is not true of the sky- scraper "When builders begin to erect low | buildings in our cities, the tremen- | dous amount of money now being | used for building foundations, and | subsbasements, can be put into oth- er buildings. The money put into elevators, heayy 'framework and oth- er incidentals necessary to the erec- tion of a skyscraper would pay for a good, practical office'building four to six stories high covering the same piece of ground." Mr. Jewell, who is chairman of the operating experience committee | of the building owners and managers | -association, also asserted that the! low office building' plan would spread the business districts of cities over-'wider areas and raise land va- lues, enabling cities to raise more re- | venue for schools and other public | {mprovements. "The low building plan," he said, | "would prevent congestion, promote | safety and good health and by forc- | ing the spreading of the business district over a wider area, provide | more stores, which would result in greater competition and lower prices | to the buying public." | A low building, Mr. Jewell assert- | ed, can be built for fourteen cents | per cubic foot cheaper than a tali| building of the same quality because | cement can be used instead of steel. Mr. Jewell asserted he had made a study of revenues from a large number of office buildings in more | than fifty cities, adding that the re- ceipts and expenditures from 143 buildings in 1919 showed an aver- age income of about $1.41 per square foot whereas it would require $2.64 per square foot to make the invest- ment realize gix per cent. % IN MARINE CIRCLES pe The steamer Kingston called at | Swift's wharf, on her way down to | Prescott this morning.

And They Should Be Cheap, Too, Says Prominent Farmer. A farmer in the city on Monday stated that not in many years had there been such a good crop of po- tatoes in this district, "There should be no scarcity of potatoes," he stated, 'and there is no reason why they should not be sold at a reasonable price. On Saturday's market the very best quality of potatoes could be purchas- ed at 50 cents per peck. Three weeks ago they sold at $1.25. Death of War Hero, The death occurred of Lieut.
