The children were found to be neglected children under the mean- ing of the Childrens Protection Act and the parents xx ere told that they must provide them with clean wholesome suxroundings and that they must be sent to school.

The evidence given 'showed that several of the choldren in these families had not been attending school regularly. The truant ofl'icer showed from the school register that one boy had been absent 78 days since September 1, another in "the same family, 46 days, a girl 58 days. A boy of the other family had been absent 52 days. The truant officer had made many visits to these homes but in vain.

If there is anyone who doubts this statement all they have to do it to go to the rink almost any night in the week and they will be convin- ced. During the last two weeks the younger players have had their op- portunity and they are making the best of the chance. There are three or four teams around town. known by ditt‘erent names. and they have been playing out their sche- dule.

One day last week when Eldon Renwick of the Howick and Garrick townline. was cutting wood at his bush his dog sighted a young deer and gave Chase. The deer took to the Open. but. being pretty well ex- hausted by the chase through the deep snow. was unable to‘clear the high rail fence that. surrounded the field. and the dog caught it. Mr. ltenwiek’s timely arrival. however. prevented the dog from doing the deer much injury. The deer is a female. and looks to be less than a year old. Fearing that it might fall a victim to other dogs in the neigh- borhood. Mr. Renwick tied up the captiye‘s feet and took it home to his stable. where it is now comfort.- ably and safely housed. It was too timid to eat during the first few days in captivity. but it now eats out of Eldon's hand. and is becom- ing quite tame.

Henry, Minister of Highways. heard representations from Grey County for the extension of the Provincial highway from Durham to Singhampton. a distance 'of' some 35 miles. The deputations submitted that. the needs of this part of' the country justified im- mediate action. and that the in- crease in tourist. traffic in Northern Ontario should prove a benefit to the province. The Minister prom- ised consideration of the proposals but pointed out that the Govern- ment had already built considerable mileage of roads in this district in connecting Owen Sound and Col- lingwood. The late Miss Gowanlock, who was 64 years of age, last Friday evening attended the preparatory communâ€" ion service at Knox Presbyterian Church, of which she was a mem- ber. About nine o‘clock Saturday evening. when she left the home of her next. door neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Geode. she intimated that she intended being present at communion next morning. She was not there. but. this did not occasion anxiety. as it wasthought the de- ceased had remained indoors on ac- count. of the storm.

The fact that the ring was in the pig’s mouth no doubt for some time, did not seem in any way to interfere with its grewth. Mr. J. Irwin was shown the ring and at once recognized it as off the straw blower of his sep- arator. No doubt the pig picked it up in the straw and not being able to extract it, it became embedded in the tongue and must have been the source of much annoyance.â€" Orangeville Banner. We are pleased to note that Mr. Andrew Derby of town, who had the misfortune to slip and fall on the ice while looking over a grass farm near Eden Grove a few weeks ago, is improving nicely. He had an X-ray of his left shoulder taken in the local hospital, and, while the plates did not show any broken bones, the bone of the shoulder was bruised and the muscles of the arm strained, which is often more pain- ful and usually takes longer to heal than a breakâ€"Hanover Post. some weeks of deliberation have cut the fine in two. and last week Mr. Welton received his cheque for $250 from the government.

Injured in Fall on Ice Part of Blower in Pig’s Mouth READ WHAT THIS IS THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Now, perhaps farmers can’t be fooled quite. so easily as some of the people in the city, but I can’t see where any good can come of all this talk that says there’s no money in farming; we can’t make a living; "Here's what I want to say, though; I mind one place where I boarded, the man was going to sell his house and move away. When peopel came to see it he din’t tell them it was a poor place or that he could hardly make a living at all, nd that he was moving away on that account. He boosted his house up for all he could; he wanted to get a good priec for it. "But I hear it yet. just about the same as my father used to say, that. there. is no money in ilarmii g, and that the people in the city get the best of it. There seems to he a he- liet‘ that wages are high and that hours are short. About the short hours I will agree because they used to be too short many times for me to make a living. Wages may be high in some cases. but I have been in factories where married men were getting around $15 to $18 a week. “I was the second boy in the family, and when I was 19 I left the farm, quite certain that I was mak- ing the best move, although at the time I had no objection to farm work. I lived in the city for a few years, but never seemed to he get- ting ahead very fast, or getting ahead at all. I never learned a trade or had a chance to know any particular business very well, be- cause none of the jobs that I secur- ed seemed to lead in that direction. When I was living in citiesâ€"and I tried three of themâ€"there were a number of times when I wondered where I was going to gt the money to pay my board at the end of the week. I am farming for myself now, and have been for a number of years. I have never made very much real money. but we have ne- wr been what a person could call hard up. I guess we get along about the same as the average man in the rity who is working for his wages. “You always hear about the drift of farm people to the city, but I was one who drifted in the opposite di- rection, because I went back home and stayed there. The Beacon-Herald has received a rather unusual letter from a farmer in which he analyzes the farmers’ position from a rather uni- que angle. He does not take up time in discussing prices, tarifi', selling organizations, nor yet the problem of the hired man, but largely the fact that farmers are hurting their own business and de- pressing the prices of their own prOperties by continually creating the impression that there is no money to be made at farming. iHis letter follows: “I was born on a farm not very far from the city of Stratford. There were three boys and two girls in the family. We all got what education there was to be had, and then the eldest brother was sent to business college and took a position in an office. That was years ~a‘go, I was younger, but re- member quite well that my father had always impressed upon the boys that the best chance was to get away from the farm as the work was too hard and the returns not wht should be expected for so much work.
