HUBERT L. EBBELS, SEL Port urey- TO CAPACITY _ 1s the farmer justified in believing that the firm tone of the horse market and the present high prices for live stock rests upon a secure 'foundation? May he look forward with any confidence to next season's . or next year's market? Should he - prepare, as against an advertised et and high prices for all €lasses of farm animals by breeding |' a larger number of mares ot of cows, sheep, hogs and poultry? We are confident that the fariner has never - been in a more secure position than the present, as regards the exten- _ sion of his breeding operations, but, to. enable him to form more easily his own conclusions, the following facts are submitted: HORSES Since the dtitbreak of the war, the - 'British Remount Commission has "purchased i in Canada 16,000 horses. i 8,000 have been bought by French contractors and 25,000 by the Can- adian Department of Militia. The + Department of Militia. is now en- . gaged in buying an additional thousand bead. The British Re- ~ mouut Commission has purchased __ over 700 since March and is buying + daily in Montreal. French con< iactots ate auiots to obtain sup- ! of" the. purchases alteady 'made, army buyers are finding it _ increasiogly difficult, both in United * States atid in Canada, to readily _* seciite the number of horses which fhey require, particularly of the the type suitable for heavy cavalry or heavy artillery. In addition to the purchases lor "army account, commercial activity rom two distinct quarters has ex- . erted a vety evident influence upon 'the Canadian horse tharket during the pastthree or four months. Since 'the beginning of the year, 6,000 horses reached the Winnipeg Stock rds from Eastern Canada and 15.917 were shipped from the same yards 'westward, mostly to Saskat- ehewan. During the months of Jandary, Febroary and and March, 1,805 horses were exported to Unii- '¢d States. A few hundred more Went forward to the same market April, The horses exported farm chuoks weighing t 300 to 15,000 Ibs.

Clark, now a member of the 126th Peel County Battalion, was home on a flying visit yesterday prior to the departure 6f the Bat- talion fot Njagara. He holds the position of Doctor's Ordetly, looks splendid and is in fine fettle. At housecleaning time the aver- age husband would be willing to accept the following as desctiptive of the ideal wife: 'Ah see yo' is housecleanin',* said Mrs. Snow White. "Yes," replied Mrs: Marsh Green, "dey is 06thin' like movin' things round once in a while. Why, 1 des come across a pair ob slippers undar de bed dat ah hadn't seen foh five years." The Lindsay Post speaks of 'the Orillia Packet, which bas achieved fame for its sane, cothmonssense editori utterances." The Alliston Herald protests against the present high price of gasoline, and wants to know who ig sespoosible. Blame Borden.

The new debenture issue of York Township has been sold to the Do- minion Securities Corporation for $101,176, which is over one per cent. above par. The issue calls for $17,000 for the Township Board of Edtication, and $51,875.46 for local improvements. The fact that the finances of the Township are in a flourishing condition is evinced by the remarkably high bid made for the debentures which is higher than the last made for Government securities, The Woodstock Sentinel-Review says the County of Oxford is losing thousands of dollars gunually through the depre- ciation of its leading roads by reason of thie factthat none of the highways in the County are oiled. "The automobiles cheirns up the syriace into dust, and the wind fakes it away. If the County Couneil 'would oil fhe roads, as is done in cities." the roads would give more satisfaction, not only to the users of the roads (but to people living along the highyway." Orillia Packet:--The man who can experience such illfortune as owed 'Mr, 7. Hh. Robbins during wear * smilin g lace { pretty youn: € past year or so and still], be fruit on I track, sounded Hin gong shortly before turning to the lane on the east side of Mr. Carnegie's store, and seeing Mr. Brimble about to start westerly from where he had been standing on . the. sidewalk east of the lane, shouted to warn him, and that Mr. Brimble, though hear- ing the shout; steppéd in front of the. Car, and was struck by the right fender, and was pushed for a short distance, then fell and was dragged 20 or 30 feet before the heavily loaded Car could be stopped. Dr. Areher gave evidence of the result of his examination of the unfortunate victim, and stated that death had resulted from either the dislocation of the neck or injuries to the vital organs caused by the {inpact and dragging of the body under the Car. "The evidence ap- peared to show that although Mr. Polito had only driven his Car for a couple of weeks, he understood its management, and bad used every reasonable precaution to avert the accident; and none of the withesses attactied blame to M¢. Polite. The Jury brought in a verdict in accor- dance with the facts as stated. Great sympathy is felt in -the village for the widow and children of the deceased, Mr. Brimble being an old resident and enjoying the respect of the community.
