All Lindsayites were proud of the Brigade. Chief Bell is justly very‘prousd of the Brigade today, and says he is sure they would win out at another down here next year when they hope to. have the Firemens' DemonStmtion at Lindsay.

That they were beaten by only six seconds by a. Brigade whichhas been working tOgether for nine years and been through many contests speaks well for the Lindsay Fire Brigade’s ability. The local Brigade has a. test run record of one minute and three sec- onds Vin Lindsay which is faster .han Thursday’s record at Drillia. Chief Bell and the Brigade are justâ€" ly pleased with the treatment giVen them by the Orill'ia Firemen, who. The Huntsville Brigade, which is one of the fastest in the district, had an off day yesterday and did not bring home the priZes they expected.

E The Firemen and Citizens’ Band Wish to express their warmest thanks to the citizens for the Very generous manner in which the excur- sion was patronized. The fact that it was the largest excursion that has left Lindsay by train in years outside of a holiday is a flattering tribute to the popularity of the fire laddies and bandamen, for which they are very grateful. The service furnished by the C.P.R. was firstâ€" class in every respect, and was greatly appr‘eCiate-d by the excur- Bionists. The applause was deafening which was equal only to the surprise mani- fested, even by members of the Barrie band when Judge Slatter awarded the Barrieitee first money. The win- ning band, it is said. was “padded” for the occasion but even then could not compare with the local‘ musical organiZation. True, they had a larger reed section but the band as a whole; was not in the same class as ourl Waltz Jungherren Tame”. were ren- dered the appreciation of the thous- ands present knew no bounds.

N OTE The London Free Press, referring to the plan proposed in Guelph of ylac- ing civic debentures on sale in th: city, remarks: The idea is so simple that it is really a wonder that by now we have not come to regard this as one of the assured markets for municipal-1 paper. Across the border, city after city is try ing the experi- ment and with almost uniform suc- cess. Baltimore, Md, unable to flcat a. debenture issue in the regular mcn- ey markets, advertised the-m for sale among its own people and within a few days disposed of a million doll- ars' worth in small lots. St. Paul, Minn, has‘had a somewhat similar experience, although under different circumstances. There James J. Hill, whose common sense will not be questioned, took up an entire issue o-f the city bonds which ,had been is- sued in amounts of $100, bearing 4-; per cent. interest, and these bonds he had cut up into $10 scrip, which. are being sold to anyone who will in- vest. This method makes it possible for. men and' 'womento invest their smallest savings and a great, new market is thus created. CIVIC DEBENTURES 0N LOCAL MARKETS An instance is given of a lady get- ting on a. train who was not able to take a long enough step, and as a reâ€" sult fell between two of the cars. Montreal, July 22.â€"~Fva.shion and the tiéht skirt has now become felt Lby the railways. This comes in the norm of a ugrcular just issued by the head official of the Canadian Pacific railway in which it is expressly sta- ted that conductors and traimnen must take special care of thelady passengers and see that they get on‘ and off the trains safely. The reason1 gun; is the prevalence of the tight skirt among the fair patrons of the road.

Serious Accident Near Manilla No incidents of importance were re- ported on the tap. according to Mr. Naylor, the whole journey having all pOSSible.

A procession was formed and to the strains of the bass O’Gowrie the firemen and band marched to the fire hall. Fire Marshal Bell, the veteran of many fights, in a bx'ief address con- gratulated the fire laddies onitheir splendid appearance and record dur- ing the day. They were a. credit to the good old town of Lindsay. Three lusty cheers were then given for the firemen and band. ‘ The 45th Regimental band was right royally treated by the memâ€" bers of ,the Orillia Citizens Band. B‘andmaster Slatter stated that the 45th Beat. Band marched better than any band in Canada. Lin;d5ay is proua of its Fire De, partment. The organization is worthy of every assistance.

We understand Mr. Fell had $1000 insurance on the contents. The farm belongs to Mr. Hugh McKinnon of CanningtOn. _ In this connection it is interesting to nbte the reduction in the denomâ€" ‘inations of the city’s securities sold ‘in both the English and the United States market. When the last six million dollar loan was about to be floated in London a request 1:35 made for a new departure, that the deâ€" nomination should be £100 instead of £500, as uniformly before that time_' Although the issue had been prepar- ed for the .8500 denominztion 3 change was made and the issue print-3 ed in £100 bonds. It was the first} time Toronto's securities have been Sold in England in less than £500 do; nominations. ‘ Formerly bonds for the United Sta- tcs markets were printed as $1,000 to $5,000. Now the schrities are all of the smaller par value. Although the cost of marketing. is httle increased by the issuance of small! denomination securities in lieu of huge, there is a very Considerable difference in the priming bill. Barn Burned Near Oakwood In conversation. with Town Clerk Bay on the questicn the Post was in- formed that in alltproba-Lility priv- ate legislaticn would be secured next giving power to issue bonds «Ln lots of $10 and upwards. He stipulated that the debentures? must be in denominations as low ass!I $100 in order to allow the investment: of small savings.

The thrift of the French,have peasants is proverbial and a \‘iefitorjfad’ from Paris recently laid before thefhard city a. proposal whereby it wasiwmk promised a good market would be af-j; fended for the mty's issues. éthe A gentleman who takes a deep inâ€" terest in the town. in conversation with a Post representative asked why the town counci‘: did not issue the municipal bonds in smaller denominr ations to the citizens. This, he be- lieved would encourage the spirit of thrift and give those who had not. much spare cash and opportunity to invest wisely and well. ‘1 SELLING BONDS IN SMALL LOTS If you want rpecial advice write to Lydia E.
