IT LOOKS JUSTIPIABLB The Thornbury Herald has decid- ed to accept Eaton's advertising be- cause the home merchants are not giving it the patronage they should. This is what. the editor says: “'On and after June 7th Eaton’si advertisement will appear on page 51 occupying the whole page. It is not our desire to advertise outside firms, but if our home merchants do not appreciate the home paper e~- nough to give it the Support that it merits, and outside firms like our space well enough to buy it. we feel that it is good business to sell what the other fellow wants. This ad. will probably be followed by those of other outside but nearby advertisers, who have made en- quiries but have never received any encouragement." The loyalty of a newspaper to its own town is a good thing, but the loyalty of the town to its own newspaper is just as essential. We have tried for twenty years to practice the loyalty idea from our side. but there’s good reason for a fellow to feel sore when the men he stood by loyally. and who shouid, in turn. reciprocate the feeling, go out of town for job printing that should go to the local concerns. Again, you find business men right in your own community, yes, right here in Durham. who peddle off their ten-cent jobs to the cheapest bidder. and like as not they’ll send them to the city to save a cent in the quoted price, and lose more in the transportation charges. This is no fairy tale; we know: what we are talking about ,and we know what we say is true. We have lost a lot of money during the past twenty years by refusing out- side advertising. for which we could easily get double the rates, in some cases. This didn't prevent towns- men, business men, some of them, from placing orders with printing peddlers for work they could get just as well at home and in most cases for as low a price. WE DURHAM CHRONICLE Loyalty is all right, but the jug- handled style of loyalty has very little to commend it. After all, we do not think the Thornbury Herald is guilty of a wrong under the cir- cumstances, but by the introduction of the Eaton advertising we are positively certain the local merch- ants will be the losers. The Eaton Company has built up their busi- ness to what it is to-day largely through the use of printer’s ink, ju- diciously applied, and local merch- ants would be wise to follow the same plan. DIDN’T THINK DISBONESTLY, ORâ€" A recent issue of the Toronto Star Weekly tells of Rev. T. W. Neal finding a roll of crisp new bank bills amounting to $700. Mr. Neal is the pastor of Bathurst street Methodist church. The Star Weekly says:â€" “He did not give himself time to think dishonestly, but went imme- diately to a telephone, called up the bank nearest to where the find was made, on Dupont street, near Bath- ursL and located the owner in a few minutes.” It makes one a little curious to know what a Metrodist minister would do with $700, even if he had given himself time to think dishonestly. No Methodist minister ever had 3700 of his own at one time, and the act of laying his hand on so much of the filthy lucre would paralyse an ordinary man of the. cloth. This may be a freak of Joe Clark‘s. imagination. and there may he no more truth in it than there is in the story he tells about Dan. Drimmie's cow-bell. BULL GOES DRY The city of Hull. opposite Ottawa, in the province of Quebec. carried prohibition by an overwhelming majority. Voting was commenced on the 20th of April. and according to the system of voting. the polls closed automatically half an hour passed without. a Vote. it is thought the liquor interests arâ€" ranged the balloting so that May 1 would pass with the licenses still in force, and they would be assured of another year‘s business. The half hour without a \‘0t8 being polled came at 12.;30 in the azlm‘noon wi‘ May 3rd. The total \‘ute cast was ,793, one of the largest votes ever polled in the city. Of these, 2,287 were polled in favor of prohibition. Though the liquor interests expect to hold their licenses till the first of May next year, the prohibition party think the Quebec'govemment inay interfere and immediately res- cind the licenses.

Wells was reported missing. Pte. Wells enlisted here with the 147th, but was rejected as medically unfit. He subsequently jcined the Missisauga Horse, and had been in France for some months. Pte. Alex. McVicar, was recently wounded in wire entanglements. He is a son of Mr. John McVicar of Pomona. Pte. Geo. Johnston, formerly of Swinton Park, but who went west a couple of years ago and afterwards enlisted, was reported killed in a recent casualty list. Pte. Ronald McKinnon, son of Mr. Archibald McKinnon, near Hope- ville, was killed at Vimy. Pte. Ernest Bosley, from new Swinton Park, is dangerously ill and in a hospital in France. P‘te. Harry McIntosh, Priceville, was slightly wounded recently, and is in the 3rd Canadian Hospital m France. Pte H. S. McGillivray. Dornoch is amongst the wounded in Mon- day's casualty list. Ptes. P. Barber and WA. Lyons, both of Owen Sound. are reported wounded in Monday’s list, of cas- ualties. Pte. E. Fawcett of Kim- berley. suffers from gas poisoning. From the best evidence yet ob- tained it is believed that Pte. Percy Bryon was killed in action on thei 26th of last September. The best, clue was based on a diary taken? from the body of a dead soldier and. sent to a citizen in Toronto, whose name and address was discernable in the book. Nothing more of a definite nature was heard by the parents till Tuesday last, when Mr. Bryon received a letter from a relâ€" ative in England, who received a letter, cards, and other articles a short time ago from a Pte. Watson, who was with Percy during the last fifteen minutes of his existence. The dying soldier handed the cards to Pte. Watson, requesting that they be sent to his mother. It seems he failed to give the address, and died in a few minutes. His last words were: “Tell mother I died game." For want of an adâ€" dress, the cards and message could not be sent. The name and adâ€" dress of friends in England led Pte. Watson to make enquiry, and in reply he was requested to send the articles mentioned to them in England, after which they would be sent on here. On Tuesday Mr. Bryon received the information, and a promise of a copy of Pte. Wat- son’s letter, which is not yet to hand. PUBLIC MEETING CALLBD TO DISCUSS SEED POTATO SITUATION A public meeting will be held in the town hall at 8 pm. to-morrow evening. May the 11th, to discuss the advisability of taking civic ac- tion to increase production by se- curing and distributing seed pota- toes at cost price, and in other ways stimulate activity in the pro- duction of food. A full attendance is requested. For the benefit and guidance of the council and citi- zens. \ve reproduce the following despatch from London, Ont., under date of May 4. to the Toronto Mail and Empire. It says:â€" “The board of control to-day re- ceived offers from Manitoba and the Maritime Province agencies to sell potatoes that can be laid down in this city, either for immediate conâ€" sumption or for seeding, at prices that will be materially below the rates new quoted in this city. Po- tatoes are sold in the market at London for not less than $5 a bag at present. The offer of Manitoba potatoes is to sell at $2 a bag at the place of- consignment or $2.32 in London \\ hile Eastern potatoes can he laid down here at $3.65 a bag. The High Cost of Living Committee of the city council will place an or- der for a consignment immediately.” We have a stock of Ground Feed that we are ofi‘ering for $40 per ton for the next, few days, sacks includâ€" ed. If you want cheap feed, buy now, as we have only a limited quantity to omenâ€"Rob Roy Cereal Mills Company, Limited, Durham. TELL MOTHER I DIED GAME Capt. J. R. Beaten, paymaster of the 248th, motored from Owen Sound on Thursday afternoon and paid the men on his arrival here. Oxx'ing to the battalion being order- ed overseas, the \‘iSit of Capt. Foulds the Quartermaster, was cancelled. The boys were given a farewell" banquet on Saturday evening by the ladies who took part in the min- strel show. The Hon. Dr. Jamieson kindly threw open his home for the occasion, and Mrs. Bradshaw Jamieson, as hostess. made the boys feel “right at home.” The tables were decorated with candles and daffodils, and fairly groaned‘ with good things. At each place was a favor, in the form of a neatly tied parcel, containing gum, soap, tobacco, and chocolate. After ev- eryone had eaten “just a little more than usual” Ptes. Giles and McIlvride, on behalf of the boys of the Durham Depot, presented Lieut.' Yule with a beautiful fountain pen. Lieut. Yule, although taken by surâ€" prise, thanked the boys for the ex-l pression of their loyalty to him,! and expressed the hope that they would still be together after leavâ€" :ing Durham. Mrs. Bradshaw Jam- ;ieson, on behalf of the Red Cross, 'presented each boy with a pair of socks, while Miss Margaret Hunter, on behalf of the Ladies” Aid of the Presbyterian church, gave each one a pair of socks, a handkerchief and a package of tobacco. The Hon. Dr. J amieson, in a short speech, told the boys how much pleasure it gave him to have them at his home, and said he hoped to have all of them back again when they returned II‘OID the front. A pleasant hour was then spent, in which everyone took part. A number of the ladies repeated their songs and stunts of the minstrel show, much to the delight of the boys. When the boys g0 overseas they will carry with them a pleasant memory of the kindness shown them by the ladies of Durham on the last Saturday evening spent in town. The boys paraded to the Baptist church on Sunday morning, when Rev. Wylie gave them a splendid farewell address. A 13108 number of citizens were down to the station to see them oil“ on Monday morning. Instead 01 rraiting at Saugeen Junction they \\ eut down to Proton. where the time rr as spent in drilling and plav- ing football. Through the kindness of ser eral thoughtful citizens Lieut. Yule was able to keep them well supplied rr 1th oranges, 'bananas, cigarettes, etc., during the trip to Orren Sound. It is probable that ther will return to town on their last. leare the latter part of the rr eek. Euphrasia vs St. Vincentâ€"~15 an action brought by the township of Euphrasia against the township of St. Vincent in the Ontario Supreme Court. tried before Mr. Justice Clute on December 6th and 7th, 1915. The Euphrasia Council claimed (1) to have it declared that the Walter‘s Falls Road leading from the townâ€" line southerly and westerly through the 10th, 11th and 12th concessions is deviation of the St. Vincent and Euphrasia town-line and (2) to re- cover $721.24, the cost of past main- tenance thereof from the township of St. Vincent. Mr. Justice Clute gave judgment favorable to Euâ€" phrasia, declaring the Walter’s Falls road a deviation of the town-line. From Justice Clute’s judgment St. V‘ncent appealed to the Court of Appeal, and this latter court dis- missed the action with costs. Eu- phrasia in turn appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, and the Supreme Court dismissed the ap- peal with costs. This means that the WWDShiD or St. Vincent wins out in this protracted litigation and Eu- ST. VINCENT WINS SUIT NEWS OF THE 248TH. DURHAM CHRONICLE. ‘ f ‘phrasia must pay all costs of the trial court and of all the subsequent 'gappeals. Messrs. Lucas, Raney 8: Henry were solicitors for Euphra-- 'sia, and Mr. G. G. Albery solicitor ! for the township of St. Vincentâ€"O. l . S. Advertiser. A despatch from Clarksburg, in this caunty, 01‘ May 7th, to the Tor- onto Globe, says::â€"â€"~ A well-attended meeting of farm- ers and citizens to arrange for greater production was held in the Beaver Valley Inn on Saturday night. The meeting had been called by Mr. C. W. Hartman at the re- quest. of the County Organizer. and the It‘illowing Executive was select- ed to look after this district:-â€"-C.W. Hartman, G. F. Marsh. R. Ferguson, Jos. E. Alexander, and M. Lear. Live men were appointed for each local- ity. It was learned that two good farms with excellent buildings in this fertile valley might not he worked this year. In one case, ill- health prevents the proprietor fromt heavy work, and with only moderâ€" ate means and the uncertainty of the future markets. he cannot I‘lSli the outlay. In the other case the. owner is now in France serving hisi ('(i'llllltl‘y, but would gladly lease his 'l'arm on shares or otherwise. A ‘ resolution was moved by C. F. Marsh and seconded by W In. Idle, and carâ€" ried unanimously, calling upon the Dotninion Government during the war to guarantee a minimum price that. the farmer may depend upon from year to year for the products of the soil, including live stock, as a reasonable and certain means of securing the desired increase in production. The farmer can then arrange for his own help in compe: tition with the munitions and other manufactories now receiving such government assurance. MEDICINAL VALUE OF KITCHEN GARDEN A kitchen garden would appear to he a veritable gold mine, there being so much value to the vege- table products. For not only will? the cultivation of such a garden materially lower the cost of living but will provide against a food shortage, However, there is an- other value attached to the homely kitchen garden. for the man who has one has a medicine chest in the back yard, although he prob- ably has not seriously looked upon it as such. In the onion, for ex- ample, he has a sulphur oil which gives the onion its reputation as a remedy for insomnia and which some physicians hold is a valuable anodyne for “rheumatic” pains. There are certain oils in turnips and parsnips that have aperient and diuretic properties. There is salo- nin in the potato, and spinach con- tains iron. Cabbage is highly ro- gartlod as a preventive and correct-7 ive of scurvy and scrofula. The composition of the tomato is chem- ically so subtle. that it is not yet fully understood. although several active principles have been isolated and names have been given to them. BEAVER VALLEY FARMS MAY GO UNTILLED Thus, the person who eats freely of vegetables is, taking medicine without paying for a prescription and Without heing bothered with the high cost of drugs. Inthe nor- mal individual the instinctive appe- tite automatically regulates the size of the “dose.” German sympathizers would save money by obeying fhn laws and keeping their mouth shut. A drink in publiv nmx‘uduys is a costly luxury. Emphasis is all right in its place but tDe man with the reputation for telling the truth doesnt need tp emphasize his utterances. .- The town council met on Monday night, but the meeting was too tame to be interesting. There wasn’t a single scrap, and we‘ll bet the ma- jority of the councillors didn’t hear the story the mayor read from the Salvation Army. Peeple sometimes go to church and can’t tell Whether the preacher had a text or not. The moon was full Sunday night, but there was nothing done about it. We have no constable. Dishonesty may not always run in the blood, but it is more liable than wooden legs. We have known whole families who were dishonest from the day they were born, but we, never saw a complete batch of the other kind. We never take much stock in chesty chaps who won‘t pay their debts.
