Mc- ans For Improvements 0 Local Post Office Here 'Plans for the improvements and ad- dit to the local post office have been brought to the city by D. M. Wright, M. P., and within the next k or so, tenders will be called for 2 work. The improvements to the ilding, for which $41,000 was voted by the House of Commons some time ago, will be welcomed by the postal and express department of the Cus- s here. It will mean the passing of the one-storey building on Erie - and the moving of this de- tment to the top floor of the new ing, from which an access to the in customs office will be possible hout going around by the street as now the case. The basement of the new wing will taken up entirely by the customs m1 g room. An elevator will op- erate from this room to the top of the building. The annuities branch of:the Department of Labor, which now oc- _eupies an office on Ontario Street, will be quartered in the new wing. The work will doubtless provide em- ployment for a number of local men as the contract will likely call for the _ employment of ninety percent local labor. é : THAT'S DIFFERENT _DUBI@US PERSON: "I've been at - threatening letters through ie post.

NOW LOCTATED IN HIS NEW PLACE OF BUSINESS "Ike" Clayt6n's old and new friends have kept him pretty busy since he opened his new Barber Shop on Dow- nie Street, south of Roy Brothers' Gar- age. He sure has been on the jump. Last week The Mirror scribe tried to see him several times, but he was so busy making both ladies and gentle- men look their best that we couldn't get a chance to get his advertisement. It's in this week's issue; however, and we know readers will not only read but heed. the Collegiate Flats, on Saturday afternoon, is as follows: Goal, Bon- fonti, right full-back, McGhee left full-back, Priggen; right half-back, James: centre half-back, Patterson; left half-back, McRae; outside right, Davidson; inside right, Pugh; centre forward, J. Wilson (captain); inside left, T. Wilson; outside left, Salter; reserves, Backhour, Crossley and Maltby. Due to the fact that some of the above players are taking part in_an- other game in the evening at Clin- ton, all players are asked to kindly co-operate with the management. Any player who cannot possibly turn out is asked to notify_D. Cumming, manager, Phone 1210-F, as soon as possible. SEED INSPECTORS FIN BULK OF SEED IS GOOD Little fear need. be held by the family gardener over _purchasing garden seeds in stores this year that might turn out unsatisfactory. Fol- lowing visits to hundreds of stores in towns and cities in Western On- tario, the district seed inspector states there have been very few merchants found guilty of selling garden seeds that do not come up to standard, Although the inspection of small field seeds in the seed stores of Western Ontario was satisfactory on the whole, yet there was considerable clover seed that was not "all it was cracked up to be," and as 4 result there may be prosecutions of the suiltv parties in some five towns in Western Ontario. One bag of clover seed was found to have as many as 50 noxious weed seeds to an ounce, while numerous others had slightly les; amounts. The sale of seed corn is under way with indications that a larger am- ount of corn will be planted in Mid- dlesex County than usual this year, according to the inspector. The am- ount planted has been increasing each vear, he stated. The quality is exceptionally fine. TWO OF A KIND The prisoners, a Scotchman and 4 Jew, were brought before the judge. "Drunk and disorderly," testified the policeman. "Guilty or not guilty?" "Not guilty, your honor," the prisoners. "What made you think these two men were intoxicated, officer?" "Well, yer honor, that Scotchman there was standing on the street corn- er throwing away dollar bills, and the Jew was picking them up and hand- ing them back to him." replied ---- FRIDAY and SATURDAY Bert Wheeler--Robt.
