If it ain't one damned thing it's another, as some wise guy once remarked, But if we didn't have to fight to get things going right, we'd be bored to death. The cordwood frontage of the infant school is more substantial looking tthan aesthetic.

That can only be done by the application of labour-- even if it be only the unskilled kind.

The men are glad of hte oppor- tunity to help out during the present period of idleness. : | | J. 0. Gough is moving into the _ house he bought from M. S. Campbell. Mr Campbell has lately purchased a fine property south of the Town and overlooking the river, and is lay- ing out the grounds and planting shade trees in preparation for the fine new residence he will shortly build there. : Mr Robert Wachman, president, very emphatically points out that the head office of the Wachman Mining "Co. is in Dryden, Ont, and that his only desire is to be regarded as a citizen of this town. Which state- ment we gladly publish in correction of a slip we made in a previous issue. A young 'man named E. Swanson, said to be from the west, in attempt- . ing with two others to board a mov- ing train at Eagle River, Monday, was knocked down and badly mutilated. ; He died of his injuries before the crew were able to rush him to Kenora hospital. ¥ Cow killed at Diy Sen A cow belonging to Mr Sfreddo strolled on to 'the track near the curve Tuesday afteynoon in search of the , succulent mouthful, with the usual sad result. The engine received no Lan he Boy: A cow got on the track at i power-house yesterday, and when the train came along the cow thought----" The Girl: "Cows don't think; they instinet." The Boy: "Well, I don't care if she thought it or only instincted it, but anyhow the engine killed that cow.' id Sanitary Hint.-- The closets in the town are now being cleaned out, and it is recom- mended by the sanitary inspector that in the interests of health, house- holders make it a practice to keep on hand some lime to apply occasion- ally, to keep the air pure and pi-event flies from breeding. The lime could be bought from D .Anderson, or 'the hardware stores, or at the Mill. Dryden Athletic Dance.-- A benefit dance in the interests of Dryden Athletic Association was held last Friday. In such a popular cause assistance of various a tremendous success. A number of lzidies contributed the sandwiches, cakes and tea so gener-{ ously that there was enough left over to hold an auction sale. The Dryden Paper Co. granted the use of their Hall, Mr Frank Porter presenled the printed programnaes, and the Oiches- tra furnished the music, to the funds of the D.A.A.A.

Anderson, immediately got to work with its chemical engine, and aided by a host move all the furniture, although some of it had to be damaged in the hasty removal. The work of extinguishing the fire was made extremely difficult by the unusual force of the wind, and. only the most determined skill pre- vented the fire from getting out of have saved the rest of the street from destruction. As it was, the engine, helped out by pails from the water tank of Ed. Charlebois who rendered valuable assistance, the fire was kept within an hour. 3 While it is not uncommon fro citi- zens, like most communities, to in- dulge at times in humorous referen- ces to our brigade, it must be admit- ted that they are highly efficient when the test comes. It is worthy of record that only once in the history of Dry- den has a valuable building been des- troyed by fire in twenty years. We honestly doubt whether any other town on the continent can match the record. Even where the damage is relatively small it must be heart- breaking to see the thousand and one things that go to make a home being pitched hurriedly into the treet. The inside of the roof is badly charred, and the floors saturated with water, but otherwise the damage can be repaired. About $400 worth of insurance was carried, according to R. J. Pronger, insuance agent. The building, which is now the pro- petty of Mr Robinson, was built by thesTate. D. Smith, and was the first post office in Dryden. Despite its with some of its most interesting history. : HOME BAZAAR HELD BY MEMBERS OF LADIES' AID The Ladies' Aid of Union Church held a Bazaar of home work in the Mill Hall on Wednesday last. Like all things that the women of Dryden undertake, the affair was thoroughly organized, and the asle was an im- mense Success. The several booths were beautifully decorated, and the excellence of the work of the women displayed to ad- vantage. Mrs M. S. Campbell and Mrs Wilson were in charge of the Fancy Work; Mrs Master and Mrs Russell, the Nursery; Mrs Black and Mrs Madder, Bedroom; Mrs Pitt and Mrs Tom Scott, Kitchen; Mrs F. N. Beveridge, Pantry. > The Tea Committee, whose services were a notable part of the pro- gramme, were: Mrs Golden, Mrs I. J. Clark, Mrs Hambly and Mrs McFad- yen. Lunch was served in the Tea Room from 6 to 7.30, embellished with a little parlour music from pens and: violin. The amount raised from the Sale of Work totalled $416.00 and will. be applied toward the fund to improve the Church building. Mr and Mrs D. Frejd have return- ed to Dryden, after their extended trip thrrough Nelson, B.C, and down the coast.

Our nation is not that territory which extends north an dsouth but the human beings who on this terri- tory have established their homes. The nation lives in homes. Industry is to supply homes. The things that make a good home are the things that make a great nation. I have seen houes into which too much material prosperity brought idleness, bickering discontent, and even reduced the standard of health. And sometimes I think that some- thing of the sort has happened to us. ; It is only temporary if we face the ituation, and it is largely the women of the country who must accept the responsibility of restoring to the national home content and happiness, health and well-being.--Mary Robert Rin char, in Jopnary "Good House- Fen a THE NEW SALES TAX. The new sales tax is 11% per cent. on sales within Canada, and 2% per cent on imports. The tax is payable within Canada by both manufacturers and wholesalers, and where a sale is made by a manufacturer direct to a retailer the tax is 8 per cent. Similar- ly, if a retailer makes a direct import a tax of 4 per cent. is levied. In regard to lumber there is a special ; clause under which an excise tax of 3 per cent. will be paid by the manu- facturer, and no further tax will be levied.
