vee js that cnough? True, the radio gives you certain cold figures but it's indirect and impersonal and at best only - a general indication, compared to actual tele- phone talks to a number of buyers. In conver- sations, you get the actual feel of the market; you know what's going on; where and when to sell; what grades are going best; what the pic- ture promises; and all those other intimate details, the knowledge of which puts dollars in your pocket. The telephone, as a business agent, is truly irreplacable.

Mr. Roy Scott took charge of the topic and in closing read the fol- lowing poem which seemed to sum up his remarks and give us a keen insight on what true felolwship means. The poem is entitled "Where Cross the Crowded Ways" and was written by Walter Gresham. "Tis only a half truth the poet has sung ) Of the house by the side of the way; Our master had neither a house nor a home : But He walked with the crowd day by day. And I'think, when I read of the poet's "desire, That a house by the road would be good; : But service is fourd in the tenderest form When we walk with the crowd in the road. So I say, let me walk with the men in the road, Let me seek out the burdens that crush, Let me speak a kind word of good cheer to the weak, nt Who are falling behind in the rush. There are breaks to be healed, there are breaks we must mend, There's a cup of cold water to give; And the man in the road by the side of his friend Is the man who 'has learred how to live. Then tell me no more of the house by the road, There is only one place I can live; It's there with the men who are toil- ing along, Who are needing the cheer I can give. WHY SHIP CREAM ELSEWHERE?

Clements, Mrs. A. Bruce, Mrs. Payne and Mrs. Wooldridge, KEEP YOUR TAX TICKETS (Peterboro Examiner) It will undoubtedly come as a shock to most persons in Ontario that under the amusement tax regulations now in force, failure on the part of a patron at any place of amusement to retain his stub of the amusement tax ticket is punishable by a fine of from $10 to $200 under the Primary Con- victions Act, The actual requirement in the regu- lations is that the person admitted must produce his portion of the tax ticket on demand of any inspector of the amusements revenue branch or police officer, and lack of such tax re- ceipt is regarded as prima facie evi- dence that the act has been evaded. If there are any illusions that these drastic rules are not to be enforced they ean be dismissed.

A total of ninety-five pigs were in the waters swept thé entire piggery away. Many of the pigs were found dead more than a mile from the dam, while others, al- though swept down the creek, were found alive. One pig was swept over the base line and hit a guy wire on a Hydro pole; 'bending the pig completely around the wiré and breaking its back. Heavy damage was also suffered at the Vanstone mill at the west end of the town. Men worked all night to clear the dam for the rush of water, and the mill was kept running to take off as much of the torrent as possible. A cribbing of foot-square timbers at the C.P.R. pump house was washed down the stream, and, crashing into the dam, smashed a railway steel used as a buttress against the ice. The damage at this mill will run into many hundred 'of dollars. Hampton mill dam was also washed out, and it is understood that repairs to this dam will run into $2,000. ; 37 countryside westward to|} Bowmanville, took stock and found that flood damage amounted |} In Port Hope the town fathers looked at the Gana-|# cose en district streams were swollen to rivers and rivers to ragged tor-|sscscscececesscson rents, and hardly a mill of the many that are located on these|% _ Leon Trotsky, exiled Russian leader, and his wife, reached 2 Tampica, Mexico, on their way to a new home near Mexico City. |§ uv 1% Although the wave of influenza which is now rolling over the|# Canadian prairies has not yet reached Ontario, it possibly will fol- | low along the lines of communication and shortly invade the north- | western section of the Province, Dr. B.
