Paul Kingston was brought before him charged by Constable Laverty that Paul did on the 8th day of November and before. in the County of Bruce un- lawfully drive or operate a motor vehicle on a public highway without first having a driver’s permit. contrary to the Highway Traffic Act of the Province of Ontario. He pleaded guilty to the charge. of never taking out a driver‘s license. He had been driving a car for about fifteen years. The magistrate imposed a fine of $40 and a plea of guilty being entered. Two allegedly stolen steers were found on the premises of accused, who claimed they had strayed there. So far as it is known this is the heaviest fine ever imposed for this oflence in this county and it can be taken as a warning to all and sundry that this familiar old time “pastime” will not be tolerated in this day and generation.â€"Chesley Enter- Kept Strayed Cattle A West Wawanosh farmer was fined $500 and costs for harboring cattle not his own. A similar charge against a brother of the accused was withdrawn. This case has been hanging fire since last July. the original charge having been that of theft. To this charge ac- cused pleaded not guilty and elect- ed jury trial. In the interval, however, the charge was amended from theft to harboring and summary trial elected, of two Brant farmers were raided of some flity chickens each, and similar robberies have been reported from Bentinck.

"Some of the things said over the wires," declared a telephone girl to a lineman making repairs, “aren’t fit to hear.” This supply of water encouraged its liberal use by citizens, and is an ex- planation of the comparative absence of plagues and pestilence from the city of Carthage. Rome, in its height, also was a centre of development in sani- tary practices. Lead was used in the piping and some of these pipes found recently are capable of withstanding a test pressure of 250 pounds per square inch. Public fountains and baths re- quired water to be piped more than fifty miles in some instances. It is of interest to know that while the development of sanitary water sup- ply systems, available at a price within the reach of nearly all homes. has ta- ken place recently, yet four thousand years ago, on the Island of Crete, there was an appreciation of water and sewage sanitation not found in many parts of the world today. Historians believe that the culture of ancient Carthage, centre of world trade in 300 3.0., was made possible to a large ex- tent through rather complete water sewage systems. Each home of any importance had its own cistern; and an aqueduct more than fifty miles long supplied several reservoirs with water from the mountains. Nature’s law decrees that water shall seek its level and flow down-hill. Present day hydraulic engineers defy this law and force water to flow any- where mankind wishes. Water flows through miles of pipeline to the lava- tory of the urban and suburban home; from the bottom of wells to the bath- rooms of farm houses; and from barn loft storage stanks to drinking cups, watering troughs, and to the milk house in the dairy barn.

Pretty Good Line VALUE!) SANITATION The Paton Manufacturing Company of Sherbrooke, Que, under date of Oc- tober 17, states that since the bringing down of the emergency tariff measures it has increased help in its spinning The Monarch Knitting Company of Dunnville, Ont.. states that in Septem- ber it added 32 employes to its staff and started operatingfull time instead of four days a week. It further states that in the past two weeks it has se- cured a hosiery order, which would have gone to the United States if tarifl‘ changes had not been made. As a re- sult of this one order. the company is immediately starting 26 knitting machines. This order will keep these machines busy for a period of five months. These machines, it is stated, have been standing idle for a year. The situation would be still further im- proved if it was not for the limitations imposed by the provisions of the French treaty, this company claims. and urges further consideration of this matter. Fertilizer Prices Reduced National Fertilizers, Limited, state they are pleased to advise that the prices on all brands of national fertil- izers are approximately $2 per ton lower than they were a year ago. They state the chief reason for this reduction is due to the fact that the Canadian Government seeking ways and means of relieving unemployment and of pro- moting the purchase and sale of “Made in-Canada” goods, is protecting the fer- tilizer industry by imposing a duty of 10 per cent on all fertilizers imported. which increases their tonnage to such an extent that they are warranted in making these reductions in prices. Already new plants are assured and present industries especially textile, are working increased hours and employ- ing more hands. A prominent Ottawa broker is acting for one Scotch and five American firms desiring to estab- ‘lish branches here, while the acting , Prime Minister, the Department of Trade and Commerce and the National Revenue Department are receiving let- ters from other firms that will establish here. It is believed that by this time next year there will be established in Canada or in the course of establish- ment 50 or more new branch factories of British and American concerns. Of a score of letters from various in- dustrles, Senator Robertson, to illus- trate the industrial revival, has made a summary of several. Most of these let- ters were sent voluntarily by manu- facturers. Canada is assured of the expansion of present industries and the addition of scores of new plants, either of Can- adian institutions or branches of British and American factories; this is the view of the industrial situation and outlook expressed by Hon. Senator Robertson. Minister of Labor.

The ruins are the largest in the south- west. and were untouched by previous explorers. On the walls of the him were paintings depleting the religion and domestic habits of the people. Great was our surprise," writes Dr. Martin, “to find fragments of perfect paintings still adhering to the walls of the upper . room. They probably had not been exposed to the light of day for three thousand years. All were perfectly geometric, and were executed in black and white. The information obtained from the lower room was of even more importance. The paintings were in better condition, and werel similar in desgn to ancient pottery. representing lightning, rain and clouds. This is the first time such designs have been found on kiva. walls."

The Harris Woollen Mills at Rock- wood, Ont., after being closed for some four years, have been re-Opened, ac- cording to information received from that company dated October 21, creat- ing in that community a new payroll of approximately $60,000 per year, which had during recent years been wholly lost. REAL FIRST AMERICANS LIVED 3.000 YEARS AGO The George Hirst and Company, Limited, of Batley, England, have pur- chased the Hawthorn Mills at Carleton Place, Ont., which have been standing idle for the past three years. They al- ready had delivered in Canada a large consignment of weaving equipment, ex- pect to open the mill by December 1, and will ultimately employ upwards of 300 operatives. As this plant will pro- duce classes of goods never heretofore manufactured in Canada, it has been necessary for the Department of Im- migration, with the approval of the De- partment of Labor, to authorize the importation of a small number of skill- ed workmen to supervise operations and train Canadians to man this plant._ The Renfrew Woollen Mills advise, under date of October 28. that the re- opening of their mills is the result of the recent tariff changes, and it is ex- pected when operating to capacity, there will be from 150 to 200 employes engaged. 'departments by 250 hands, and made a payroll increase of 83,000 a week. The weaving and finishing departments are beginning to receive yarn in quantity so that shortly the company will ex- pand them by 50 or more hands of the higher-priced labor type. which will bring a further increase in its payroll of approximately $1,500 a week. The company is already taking on numerous learners on the day force and expects soon to have a proficient night force engaged in the spinning department. It states that the tariff measures have certainly given it confidence to look forward to an expansion of A its me- chanical equipment and the employ- ment of still more Canadian workmen. Grouts, Limited. of St. Catharines, Ont., textile manufacturers, advise that they have started up 10 per cent of the machinery which had been stand- ing idle and are building a 20 per cent addition to their plant, which they hope to have running some time in January. The Carl Stohn of Canada, Limited, Granby, Que., under date of October 16 advised that they are erecting an additional 26,000 square feet of plant, that they have at present in operation 56 looms, and the building under con- struction will eventually hold 220 looms 100 of which will be in operation in a short period. They are employing 85 hands at present, which force will be increased to between 200 and 250. Celanese Plant Growing The Canadian Celanese, Limited, at Drummondville, Que., is increasing its plant by an expenditure of over $2,000,000 to give employment to 3.000 additional persons, and only a few days ago A. Schwartz, representing this most important industry, extended an invitation to the Minister of Laban-or any of his colleagues, to visit Drum- mondville, Que., to see the expansion that is actually going on.
