GETTING A MAN. The following editorial from The Toronto News is a timely topic, and worth considering by every resident who feels the force of the Production and Thrift campaign. Work is either work or play, according to the spirit in which it is undertaken, and in many cases the so-called play is the really hard work. The following is what The News says: “The business of ‘getting a man’ to do everything about the place is too common. We need a man to put in the pane of glass broken by the coal delivery. We need a man to plane the top of that closet door that sticks. We need a man to put a new battery {a red letter day, because of the fact M DURHAM CHRflNlcl-E ithat on that date $427 were realized ', at the box social for Red Cross funds. gThe weather was very mild, the W IRWIN.

As a sport, digging has been ne- glected.It is no mere drudgery, but a pastime full of interesting surprises. Counting the worms discovered is a pleasing by-product. Rescuing aban- doned tin cans is another. The sport loosens the shoulder muscles better than tennis. It is as good for the legs as pedestrianism. It tones up the liver, and other dark mysteries of one's organism. Best of all, one can play it alone, and thus one is always sure that the company will be congen- ial. By all means cultivate the back gardens. But if you get a man to do the most interesting part of the work a lasting regret should be your por- tion.” The Owen Sound Sun of Friday has this to say: Owen Sounders have more than passing interest in the adaptation of the Durham Cement plant to the man- ufacture of pOtash. Last summer al proposition was on foot in Ow en‘ Sound to equip the old Imperial Cement (To. plant on the East shore? for this purpose but the scheme did not materialize. Mr. James Vair had the matter in band and spent consid- erable time in negotiating wth out- siders who were interested. Mr. Geo. Menzies, sesret'try of the Board of Trade, also was in communication with a man Who had the same propo- sition in View. The success of the Durham company in producing: potash and the great r emand for the product at the pres- en* t'. n; e w euld suggest that perhaps it is not yet too late For a similar project to be put in hand in Owen Sound.” It then goes on to give the article in Tuesday’s Globe, to which we re-_ referred in last issue. The Sun, like other outsiders, was evidently misled. Two thousand barrels of cement, 15 tons of potash, and 40 tons of fertil- izer was the present daily output, ac-‘ cording to the report. We are sorry it is not so, but only wish it were. Mr. Grauel, one of the parties men- tioned by The Globe, informed us on Saturday that the error was the result of a misunderstanding on the part of The Globe’s reporter, and expressed an emphatic Opinion that the mentioned results would yet be more than realized. Mrs. Geo. Ritchie is visiting her daughter, Mrs. John Brown, in Egre- mont. While at work in" the bush on Sat- urday with his father, Mr. Ernie Greenwood met with quite a serious accidenLThe axe which his father was using flew off the handle, and struck him on the foot, inflicting a nasty gash. Dr. Jamieson was summoned and dressed the wound, which requir- ed a dozen stitches.

It was purchased at the above-named price by a syndi- cate in the section, and then re-ofâ€" hr sale and sold at market price. Mr. Robt. Saunders of town also donated a large box of chocolates, which was sold for $7.25 and presented to the Durham. The proceeds altogether sleighload o entertainers from amounted to $427. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lawrence have disposed of their farm stock in Glen- elg, about a mile east of the town, and on the eve of their departure a number of friends and neighbors as- sembled to express their good wishes. The present mentioned consisted of a case of silver and a fountain pen. The following is the address, and expresses fully the high esteem in which the young couple were regard- ed: To Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, Glenelg: Dear Friends: . . ........ ‘ When we were made aware of‘ y::ur intention to leave this neighborâ€" hood, to take up residence in another part of the provnce, we, your neigh- bors. friends and well-wishers, de-i termined to congregate again under your hospitable root‘, not only to enjoy ourselves once more in your company, but to say farewell to you and to wish; you all good success in your newj Sphere of life, and in your new work. We regret very much your intended withdrawal from our midst, for we realize that in the past you have been the best of neighbors. You have been always ready and willing to oblige in need, invariably cheerful and hopeful in mind, setting the example of indus- try in your calling, and of willingness to undertake larger and more ex- tended ,lines of labor. We have all felt keen interest in you both, begin- ,ning life together and taking up the 'duties and responsibilities of a new household. Our sympathy has gone out to you mm, but especially to Mrs. Lawrence, who came, a total stranger among strangers, and from a distant land, the home of her birth. She readily found her place among us all, however, and we gave her a large part of our’ affection, and all our respect, as we did to you both. We shall miss you when you are gone, but our minds and hearts shall accompany you and shall crave for you all that is good and truly happiness-giving. In saying farewell, we wish you to accept this case of silver and fountain pen, which .will, in a slight way, ex- press to you our great good-will tow- ards you, and our keen interest i: and our strong hope for your contim: ed welfare and prosperity in the fu- ture. .

'3‘HREA'I‘ENED TO TAR AND FEATHER THE SOLDIERS The Owen Sound Advertiser has the following in its issue of March 5th.: “Like a bombâ€"shell came the an- nouncement from Col. Rorke 0in the 248th Battalion last Saturday night at the meeting in the town hall that recruiters for his battalion had, in Grey County, been threatened with being tarred and feathered if they continued their operations in the vi- cinity oi' Neustadt! And in the same locality the authorities demanded $600 from the recruiting‘officers for the use oi? the municipal building, there to; hold a recruiting meeting! It is al-‘ most inconceivable that such condi- tions should exist in Grey County, the banner recruiting county in the province, said the Colonel, but never- theless this is the fact. The facts of the case were presented late last week to Col. Rorke, by Lieut. Korman, who is recruiting in that part of the county, and the truth of the statement is to be relied upon absolutely.” 52' such a condition of things exist, 2 where a few hot-headed German :raitors should assume such an atti- tude, what are we to expect if Ger- many should win? Such conduct should be a stimulus to recruiting, and every disloyal citizen, whatever his nationality, should be taken care of. One trouble with the British peo- pie is that they possess too much hon- or, and too much humanity, to deal properly with such characters. THE “(DIES AT HOME The annual At Home of the Durham branch of the South Grey Women’s Institute was held last Thursday evâ€" ening in the town hall. There was only a fair attendance, but the music- al, literary and refreshment program were all good, and the couple of hours spent were enjoyed by all pres- ent. A quartette, consisting of Messrs. Mistele, McCrae, Saunders and Glass. contributed a couple of enjoyable numbers,and were loudly encored on each occasion. Mr. Allan Bell~gave a well-rendered and much appreciated solo, and Miss Winnie Blyth lent a charm to the ev- ening’s entertainment in her fine rendering of “The Songs My Mother Sang.” Miss Margaret Hunter and Miss Agnes Ramage rendered a well- executed piano duet, a patriotic med- ley that found response in every heart. Miss Rita Irwin, who acted as gen- eral accompanist, contributed a piano solo with her usual skill. Lieut. Yule, a recruiting officer from Owen Sound, organist and choir lead- er in Division. street Presbyterian church, in the county capital, was en- joyed by all in his brief address on the ‘duties of eligible young men to enter the service for king and coun- try. He next rendered a spirited solo and was forced by the audience to re- spend to an encore. ‘ . I Rev. Mr. Whaley spoxe Wiser) and Well on the “Institute Woman,” a topic of his own "bhoosing. He con- gratulated the Women’s Institute and the Institute Women on the prosper- ity of their efforts, and on the fact of the franchise being extended to them in Ontario. The address was appro- priate, pleasing, and highly instruc- tive. ‘- During the evening an address and presentation were made to Mrs. Thos. 'McAnulty, a valued member of the In- stitute, who will leave shortly with her husband and family for the west. The address was read by Mrs. McIl- raith, ‘and a handsome brooch pre- sented by Mrs. Thos. McGirr. Mrs. McAnulty, in a few words, expressed her gratitude for the kindness shown at parting, as w ell as the friendly re- lationship during their association as members of the Institute. Whaley spoke wisely and THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. The National Anthem brought the meeting to a close, after which a dainty lunch was served, in which nearly all participated. The proceeds amounted to thirteen or fourteen dol- lars. -The military fair on Tuesday after- noon and evening was attended by a large number of visitors, who were deeply interested in the souvenirs and war relics. Captain White and Lieut. Trivett, both of whom had- been in service at the front, were present to explain the various exhib- its and give a description of their uses. With the exception of a silver trophy won for .bayonet fighting by the 147th Battalion at Camp Bor- den last summer, and a shell or two, made in the county, the articles on exhibition were all taken from the fighting lines at Ypres and- the Somme fronts. They consisted of shells, whizz-bangs, flare piStols, nose caps for time and percussion, anti-aircraft pom-poms, British and German cart» ridges, goggles, gas helmets, hand and rifle grenades, etc. Lieut. Trivett gave the explanation in the afternoon and Capt. White in the evenino. Both - gentlemen are good entertaining speakers, and were fully conversant with their subject. At night there was a packed nail, and we fancy that many were unuable to get in. Mr. Calder occupied the chair, and after a brief introductory address, called on the band for an opening musical selection. Lieut. Yule appeared in three or four solos, and was highly appreciated. Moving pictures and lantern slides of a mili- tary nature, with an address and earnest appeal by Lieut. Trivett, were profitable features of the evening’s program.

Inspector Liddy. of Dufferin county. called a meeting last Thursday of the school trustees and those interested in educational affairs in six school secâ€" tions in and around Corbetton to con- sider the question of a consolidated school for thatdistrict with Corbetton as the centre. A large and repre- sentative gathering was present and heard Dr. Waug- h. Provincial Inspec- tor. explain the Consolidated School system. Very much valuable and in- teresting information was brought out. The main idea is the building of vuv' --â€"v u.- â€" â€"-â€"_ a centr°1 graded school, with largel conveya ces running on various routes to gather up the children in the morn- 1 ing‘ and to leave them home again in' the evening. Three or iour teachers would do the work of six and with greatly improved facilities and equip- ment. The expense of maintaining the routes is the biggest obstacle to the scheme. The Consolidated system is only in its experimental Stage in Canada. The decision of the meeting was to enquire of the Department as to what Government grants might be expected in assistance of the scheme. At least two of the sections will be required to build new schools very soon if the new central school is not built.-â€"-Dundalk Herald. The Eugenia power line caused a fatality at Cataract Sunday when Mr. Johnson Gibson was instantly elect- rocuted. Mr. Gibson was well known at Eugenia. The despatch says the fatality was caused by the hydro electric tra-msmission line coming in contact with the Cataract private telephone line running underneath at the corner of John and Church Streets, Orangeville. causmg the telephone wire, which received a charge of 22,- 000 volts, to ignite, burn off and fall. The falling wire dropped on the Cat- aract Company’s (5,600 volt line from Cataract to Orangeville.

Offered Son $looto Enlist The following letter was sent to Col.

The. example might be followed by a. thousand and more mothers in Grey county:â€" To Lieut.â€"C01. Rorke: Dear Sir,-â€"â€"If at any time I can be of any assistance to you or the 218th Greys, I will be glad to do it. I did not takeone of your cards to pledge myself to get a recruit, I don’t think the ladies were asked, but I went home from the mass meeting in Ularks- burg and offered my young son $100 to enlist in your battalion. I told him if he would go back to Thornbury with me, and enroll. the money would be transferred to his name immediately, be to getit after the war was over, and if he never came back. it was to go for Red Cross purposes. I further told him that any patriotic money coming this way would be banked in his name. But he did not see it the same asI did. He went and joined the Navy. Of course we are glad he is to serve his country. but I would rather he had been in our own hat- talion. His father and I also talked it over and he is to get the one hundred dollars if he does us credit and returns to start here for himself. but it is not to be transferred to him now nor to draw interest for him, nor to go to patriotic purposes. But if we receive any patriotic money it will be banked in his name. \Vith best, wishes for you and your ka. the peace of the world, and the honor- of the Empire, 1 remain. g Sincetely, Mrs. \Valber Buchanan.
