The co-operative has leased the building at present occupied by Mr. Geo. McCague as Durant motor salesroom. Mr. W. Jq Davies will be in charge or the station. Mr. Davies is secretary of the Rocklyn Farmer’s Club. Recently he held an auction sale of his farm stock and implements and will move to Meaford to live as soon as he secures a house. The idea of the station here is to have the eggs brought to a central point and be graded before shipment to Toronto.

So rapidly did the waters on the Saugeen rise after the ice went over the new dam on Friday afternoon, that a lady residing near the foundry wno had come down town shortly before, found herself shut off from her home. Seeing her predicament, Mr. Harvey Miller got out his paint wagon, and loading the fair one aboard, started out, like a Chinese mandarin, to wheel the damsel across.

Spelling Neglected Time and time again we have not- iced in High School Inspectors’ reports as published that the majority of the Collegiate Institute pupils frequently are rated “very bad” in spelling. The conclusion one comes to is that more attention should be given to this im- portant subject where it is taught, that is, in the public schools. That the educational authorities are responsible for this condition is easily seen. in -‘Q 7..- OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS AV. v..." wwâ€"â€"â€"--.'__ the final examinations for High School entrance, only 50 marks are given for spelling, whereas practically every other subject counts 100 marks. Spelling, as one of the most important subjects in the curriculum, should re- ceive more recognition. If it were put at 100, the same- as other subjects, more attention would be given to it.â€" St. Marys Journal-Argus. Ontario want to see this scneme en- acted but they are a trifle afraid of the section that calls upon municipalities to pay twenty per cent. We do not know whether or not statistics have been made up as to what this would mean to Kincardine should the penâ€" sions be so collected. Several other towns about this size have figured the cost at about $1,000 per year. This amount to any town which is laboring under a heavy debenture debt, and most towns are, is a serious matter. In some way or other this extra money will have to be raised and it may in many instances mean an increase in taxation. Many towns will find them- selves in no position to shoulder such additional obligation. The best thing any town can do under the circum- stances is begin to look around and see church. elling.
