The steamer was ground- ed a little over a miile out of God- erich harbor on Satur¢ay night with a cargo of 100,000 bushels of wheat. The east wind had driven the water out until it was—too shallow for her to land, and one of the crew fell down a ladder and fractured his of radio was then demonstrated. Sparling broadcasted his trouble to Sarnia and Sarnia in turn telephoned to Goderich, to send out a doctor. He went out in a Hfe boat with the waves dashing orer the side at times, and after seeing his patient decided he should have the assistance of another doctor. -A- gain the radio was used and Sarnia Was again asked to telephone anoth- er Goderich doctor, which they did. While the two doctors were attend- ing their patient the wind changed and a west wind picked up the boat on the heavy waves and deeper water and she steamed into harber.

SCHOOLBOY BURGLARS (Harriston Review) Mayor Fawcett presided at an in- vestigation held in the Council Chamber here on Friday afternoon and evening in which a number -.of High School youths figured promin- antly. It appears that petty thieving has been’ going on for some length of time. Some -of it dating back, it is said, for a period of three years. Al- though suspicion pointed strongly in some {nstances, nothing was done about the matter until a local groc-| ery store was broken into one night recently, the back door having been pried open and a considerable quan- tity of stuff stolen. A young lad of! the town saw some youths hiding something in Howes’ lumber pile, so when they left he investigated and found some packages of goods. He promptiy ueiifled the authorities of his discovery with the result that four of the older -H. SS. boys were apprehended. Before this, however. anotirer young man of the town had been sélliug cigars and tobacco at much. lesa than cost. price. This fel- low acted as a witness against the other young men. While the investigation was con- ducted behind closed doors, even our reporter being refesed admission, certain information leaked out and the investigation has been a theme of.much conversation ever since. Besides the thieving of the four boys as_mentioned above, other mat- ters relative to the conduct at the H. 8. are said-to have been brought up.

A-LESSON TO “TOMMY" (Toronto Globe) The election of Mr. Hilte as May- or by a large majority over his two opponents, and of Messrs. Gibbons, Foster, Hacker and Cameron as members of the Board of Control, provides Toronto with a strong and experienced civic Cabinet which should be able not-only to hold down expenditures to a reasonable figure but to settle some of the outsanding problems béfore the civic adminis- tration. Mr. Hiitz is to be-congratu- for the manner in whioch-it was won. He fought fairly. He discussed elvic issues, leaving extraneous mat- ter out of his speeches. The attack upoo him because ten years ago he contested a Toronto Legislative seat as a prohibitionilst was.made in the hope that citizens opposed to the Ontarfo Tempérance Act would vote against a “dry’’ candidate for May- or, although the question of the re- tall sale.of Iiquor is one over which Council fas no control. The huge majority given to. Mayor Hiltz doubt- less includes thogsands of non-pro- hibitionists who refused to be be- guiled by tie sly appeal. to anti- temperance sentiment. The yictory of Mr. Hiltzis not a “dry’’ win, but an endorsation of the municipal. record of a faithful servant of the people, and an expressior of confidence that in the highest office within the gift of the citizens he will add to the fine record of fhe past.

It's practically hermeti- cally sealed, and once ft has been thoroughly heated, holds fits heat a very long time. Having heated the oven for baking, use it thereafter in preparing other foods. Current at “low” or “medium” . will usually suffice to maintain the oven at the temperature necessary for the oper- ation. * When. ising the cooking top be sure the vessels fit snugly against the heating elements. Aleo, the uten- sile should be of ample diameter to retard the heat from escaping to the side and rising before it has done full justice to the food to be cooked. Strip the range of everything that ean be removed by hand and clean it thoroughly once a week. If the oven lining is porcelain, wash it just as you would a dish, using soap und hot water. If food has boiled over and sthined the surface, use a good cleansing powder. White enamel, discolored by the fumes of oven cooking, can he cleaned with a good metal polisir. A few minutes now and then will keep everything spic and span. When the oven_!s not in use keep the deqr} © slightly ajar. This ventilates the ov- en and Keeps it sweet.
