We thought that after the beer parlors haqg been opened up, Collingâ€" wood would be free of bootleggers, in fact that is what we were told; there are those in Durham who tell you bootlegging would be abolished if Durham only had the beer parâ€" lors ! Yet last week‘s Collingwood Enterpriseâ€"Bulletin says: "A field day with the bootleggers was held in the local police court on Mcnday morning when a number of persons appeared in answer to various charges. These included bhavirg liquor for sale in illegal places, illegal consumption of liâ€" quor, and cbstrudting police c cers. The several cases were heard and judgments were given in a numâ€" ber with fines of $15 and costs. Two were fined $100 and costs and two wiill spend a few weeks in Simâ€" coe County jail. Two other cases were remanded until December 12." FIELD DAY WITH BOOTLEGGERS! Don‘t be surprised if one of these days, you go chugging down the highway with your automobile stokâ€" ed with straw. Not straw in its raw state, of course. But straw reduced by science into fuel alcohol will run the car. At least, that is what Dr. J. A. Anderson of the National Research Ccouncil, told the recent ecnference of science, industry and agriculture in Toronto lately. Westâ€" ern Canada, hesaid, normally produâ€" ces about 30,000,000 tons of straw yearly. Of this, he estimated at least 20,000,000 tons a year wasted, and{ this huge volume cf organic matter will one day be processed to proâ€" duce more alcohol than could be secured from the disttillation of the grain itself. At least that is the picâ€" ture painted by Dr. Anderson, and ‘we have no reason to disbelieve it these days when we see what is beâ€" ing done with wood in the making ct plastics for every kind of conâ€" struction. _ We have heard a lot 2 bout using straw to make paper, but straw to make alcohol to run Phe Burkin Arvi w P.

If you wrote a letter, the person to whom it was sent had to pay the postage with coins. Neither would you have sealed the letter but merely folded it and fastened the ends together. It was later." not until 18i7 that England begar to print postage stamps and the United States followed _ a year the tractor.

Two other contestants, Wilfrid Heighington of Toronto and Rev. Norman Rawson of Hamilton, drew only 42 and 24 votes. Now Colâ€" PDrew has to find a seat in the proâ€" vincial legislature, and of five offerâ€" ed him, he will likely select Addingâ€" ton, or East Simcoe. If the latter, Hon Wm.
