Peoâ€" ple who are intelligent enough to find out the differâ€" ence between Ranges have come to the conclusion that there is no range to equal the ‘Happy Thought‘ They make every woman happy and it‘s necessary to make the women happy before the men can be happy The Ploughing season has started, and we have agood supply of necessaries for ploughing, such as Plough Harâ€" ness, Trace Chains, Sweat Pads, Plough Lines, Plough Bolts, Clevices, Plough Points, and other articles too numâ€" erous to mention. W. BLACK This lact coupled with the knowledge that "MONARCH" Shoe styles express the newest English and American style ideas, should have influence with men who are PARTICUâ€" LAR about their footwear. The question of comfort has been given careful thought by the makers of Monarch Shoes and in every style shown, absolute foot ease is assured. One man saw our Ranges on Saturday evening and he was so wrapped up with them that he sold a fine Picadore horse before breakfast on Monday morning so that he could buy one of our Ranges. _ Buy one and you will be happy for the balance of your life.

Hanna introduced into the House the Redistribution Bill, This is the final proof that the general elections are in prospect and will unâ€" doubtedly be held before another Sesâ€" sion. No details of the Redistribation are given in the Draft Bill, After the second reading it will go to a se lees Committee of the House. Tax Reform For the third year in succession the Government bas yoted down Opposiâ€" tion proposale for Tax Reform. The debate this week occupied considerable time in the House, but the majority ot speakers were from the Oppositicn and, therefore, in favor of Taz Reform. Only a few of the Government memâ€" bers spoke on the subject, The Opâ€" position pointed out especially that its scheme of Tax Reform did not compel municipalities to change their system of taxation at all, but simply give them them the local option to lower the tax on improvements, if they thought it wige to do so. It was pointed out that petitions for this right of local option have been received by the Government from all parts of the Province, from farmers and from Tity men, from representatiyes of manuâ€" facturers‘ associations andi from the Labor Unions. _ Moreover the city of Torontc voted in faver of Tax Reform by an overwhelming majority, The Government, howeyes, did not seem to be influenced by thrse consideraâ€" tions and voted down the proposal once more. Hydro Radials A resolution urged upon the Domâ€" imon Government the wisdom of en couraging the construction of Muni: cipal Hydro Electric Radial Railwaysâ€" The resolution in its original form, as presented by the Opposition, asked that the Dominion Government should grant a simlar subsidy to Hydro Raâ€" dials as to steam railways, but the Government amended this and made it weaker in substance. It is worthy of note that both this year and last it bas been the Oppositrion which has taken the initiative in urging the conâ€" struction of Hydro Radials throughout the Province. Last week‘s issuo of "Hardware and Metal," deyotes almost two pages to Durham and to Durham‘s mayor, The article is illustrated by a fine cut of the mayor, by a eut of a photo of Lambton St, on one of our busiest fair days, taken by Mr, W. J. Young and another showing front of Mr. Black‘s store,. The write up is by Mr. Bryon J, Mortow. In his first paragraphs he deals with the importance of town and cvuntry getting into close touch, strongly boliding the idea of the advantage of a weekly market, which he says is inâ€" dispensable to the local merchant. Progressive towns eyen go further than weekly markets by organizing special sales, borse fairs, etc. The arâ€" ticle goes on ; * T o pse "In this connection might be cited what the town of Durham has done ; or rathes what Win: Black, hardware man of Durbam has done. _ Mr Black is an actiye, progressive, one might even say dynamic business man, who bas a kaen insightinto the many probâ€" lems which confront the merchant. In addition he has been fonr times mayor of Durham and has ra equally keen insight into the question of civic growth and prosperity. On both points he became conyinced hat what was needed was a closer relationship with the surrounding districts, Campaign Contributions Hon. W. H. Hearst has introduaced two measures dealing with the ques tion of campaign contributions. In general idea they follow the lino of the Opposition Bills which have been beâ€" fore the House for the last two years, but in detail they are much less exâ€" plicit end leave many more loopholes. One of them calis for publicity in campaigh contributionsâ€"the other probibits contributions from certain parties, Thers will likely be a proâ€" tracted debate on this subject as the (Government propesals are obviously much less stringent than the Bills inâ€" troduced by Mr Rowell and his colâ€" league, Mr Anderson. The Week in the Legislature The plan followed is to have. the buyers stand on the streets and bid for the horses as they arriye. Aniâ€" mated scenes and lively competitive bidding ensue on the appearanee of a particularly fine specimen, â€" The adâ€" vantage of this system is that the acâ€" tual transactions are soon over with and the farmers haye the rest of the day for shopping. Mayor Black asserts that the amount of business which comes to the merâ€" chant as a dipect result is considerable, On fair days the stores are crowded. From the standpoint. of the local merchant great advyantage is obtained from the general attraction which the fairs exercise. â€" Huandreds of: people come to town on that day who have no intention either of buying or selâ€" ling ; but all do more or less shopping through the day. Accordingly the plan was adopted of holding regular monthly horse fairs, In his capacity as mayor Mr. Black began an actiye publicity campaign, adyertising the fairs aggressively and continuously, _ They were advertised in the local papers and by means of bills distributed at the . weekly marâ€" kets and throughous the surrounding country,. _ As a result the fairs have become so well known that not only do farmers come in from a distance ot twenty to twenty five miles, but buyâ€" ers attend from Montreal, Toronto and other cities. The farmers have come to consider the Durham monthly fairs as the best opportunity offerod of selling their steck at the best price. On one occas ion no fewer than 78 horses changed hands on tke streets in one day, and the average number sold during the course of the fair, while not as high as that is nevertheless a large one. _ Just as a snow ball rolling down hill adds to its size and increases in s%«d, so with the passing of time, the Durham faire are becoming of increased importance, Boosting the Town. APRIL 2, 1914 The really impertant part however, is that the people ~f the surrounding districts get the "Durham habit," and continue to do all the shopping in that town. The monthly horse fair is not Durham‘s only bid for increased tarm trade, hswever. _ An avnual poultry exhibition is held which also proves a good drawing card. Mayor Black is president of the Poultry Association, and one of the chief workere. The last exhibition was held on Jan. 15, in the town hal; and there were 450 birds shown. A produce fair is also under consideration. A word about the "man behind" would be of interest. Win Black was at one time engaged in newspaper weâ€"tk being associated at various time® with the London Advertiser, 8t Thomâ€" as Journal, London Free Preâ€"« and for four and a half years on the Monâ€" treal Star. _ Thus he s»scured a good grounding in the imethods of what is undoubtedly one of the most aggres: sive branches of modern enterpriseâ€" the publishing business _ When he returned to the h~rdware busivess he brough! with him many valuable ideas and principles acquired during his connection with the daily press. Wmm Black is a "hustler," a man of ideas and the possessor cf an inexhaustible fand of Initiative, For sixteen years he has been in the hardware business in Durham and during that time bhas worked up a splendid connection. _ His aggressive foresight is best illustrated in the way that be retrieved a heavy loss sustainâ€" ed in a fire which destroyed his store on September 17h, 1913. Out of a stock valued at $13,500, he was able to save only $650 of goods and the inâ€" surance carried Was $4000 only, While the fire was still raging he stepped across the street and took a three years‘ lease of the store now occupied. With indomitable encrgey this store was fitted up and stocked and business was continued without loss of time. Mr Black‘s fellowâ€"townsmen have such faith in his ability that they have clected bim mayor four times in sucâ€" cession, for 1913 and 1914 by acclamaâ€" tion. .
