Another Gan that “Wasn't Loaded." ' A report from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, says Miss Thelma Dent, i9 years old, whose home is on the Canadian side of the river, was shot and instantly killed by Filmore Heikkila, her lover, a High school . student, aged 20 years. He claims the aflair was an weldent and says ’ {that when he pointed the revolver at the girl and pulled the trigger he‘ did it as a joke, not believing the.‘ weapon to be loaded.

That the recent abnormal increase in the price of sugar is due to man- ipulations rather than to a world shortage is likely to be shown by an investigation. The United States Department of Justice said recently that charges of a conspiracy in the sugar trade to raise prices were of suflicie‘nt gravity to warrant an in- quiry by the Federal Government'si legal oflicers. It is reported that the world‘s surplus this year is nearly half a million tons. There is reason to believe the recent increase in price is wholly unjustifiable. Plenty of Sugar.

NEWS AROUND TOWN The old saying that it March comes in like a lamb it will go out 'like a lion proved more truthful than a lot of the modern onesâ€"es- iperially those who predicted a nice. mild, sweet, open winter for this year. The past week has surely resembled the king of beasts sum- cie‘ntly to satisfy even his greatest admirers. For the past two or three days the worst blizzard of the seas- on has been on the rampage and at times it was difl‘ieuit to see across the street fOr snow. The weather,l too, has been near the zero mark and' last night, to finish up, the mercury drOpped to about ten below zero. As a consequence of the storm, nearly all trains were running late and yesâ€" terday noon’s Grand Trunk was two lhonrs or more late. This morning. however. the wind has gone down and it is to be hoped that the worst is not yet to come. One would al- most be justified in thinking that this winter was sent by Providence for no other reason than to show a few of these weather prognostié'at- ors that they do not know what they are talking about. These are considered the ‘ most binding but are not always the most feared. But there!!! prob- lem arises with the question: .Sh'ould even such vows he kept under all circumstances? What do you think? "What does the. Bible any? ' are all concerned equally guilty? Then there are religious vbws. The address and discussion next Sunday will be on “Vows.” There are various kinds. Vows of se- crecy in a lodge. Are they right and wise? Vows of friendship between two or more, and mar- riage vows. If these are broken, This Week a “Bowler." ~ i The Owen Sound Board of Educa- gtion had a warm discussion at its jlast meeting in trying to arrive at ithe desirability of introducing a ;l>enny Bank system in the Public :SL'lIOOlS ot‘ the city. A sjnilar sys- tem had been in operation ,. some years ago and the opinion of mem- bers of the Board and teachers pres- ent was much divided on the sub- ,jeot. The time to be taken every week by the teachers in preparing the accounts was a strong feature against the adoption of the system. The question was left in abeyance to await further ‘light on the sub- ject. In the meantime teachers and members of the Board will ask ad- vice from places where the system is in operation. The question will come up in June for further discus- sion and if adopted the saving sys- tem will go into operation not be- fore September. , Want More Light on Subject. - \- l hl;‘,0ing.,, } The‘ action of the Durham Furni- o . ture Lompany and the Town Council . , s in getting together and assurin the A Town of Contradictions. f funds for the engagement of angout- Chesley is a town of contradic-,'Side leader has been something that . . . ;ed for a lon time.
