En o B se nc ie T3 Among the millinery novelties of the season must be mentioned George Dewar‘s new spring hat,â€"a dainty creation of black felt. It made him look so much like the Greek Patriarch that all the Dominion poiice sesnted Bolsheviki right away and kept tapâ€" ping George on the shoulder till his coat was fairly worn away to the _ Of course when he would turn his honest face policewards they would see their error, but the hat was an inconvenience in that way. Also, it interfered with lhis work in any billiard games. So, the hat is put away until war is no more, and the birds are singing blithely and Spring is here in all its gladness and delight. As Widdy would say, * It‘s a nice day, don‘t it!*" Mr. R. Brown Seott heard the birds singing in the trees near his home on Thursday morning last, so he is sure that this is Spring that is here now. Thursday was March 28th," some oneâ€"objected, ‘‘tand in lower Onâ€" tario the Spring song hbirds have been out for someâ€"weeks.‘‘ **Yes,"" replied Mr. Seott, ‘*tbut this is the Poreuâ€" pine.‘‘ Driver Charlie Barnard of the Fire Dept., however, has proven that Spring is here, better than any other bird, for Monday he was out with the fire team and the ‘*wheels,""‘ instead of the ‘‘runners."" Last year about this time Timmins had its hss snow itorm, but the Spring this year is earâ€" lher than last year,â€"soâ€" much earâ€" lier, indeed, that it will not do to boast about it. Mr. A. Lalonde has taken the posiâ€" tion of travelling representative for Patenaude Berini, manufacturers of the Safety Stove Pipe, and will travel through Canada in the interests of this orginal and useful patented stove pipe. The business of the firm has grown to such proportions that Messrs Patenaude Berini have found it necesary to have their factory in Torâ€" onto. Mr. Lalonds 438 wellâ€"known and popular in tlie Camp, having been a residentâ€"4ere for several years. Since 1912 he has been with the J. P. Meâ€" Laughlin store, and the friends he has made will be sure that with his abtlity as a salteman and the unusual quality of the goods he has to sell the business of the Safety Stove Pipe is bound to grow to large proportions. | Mr. M. Abraham, of Cobalt, is in town this week conducting a sale for the Quality Shoe Store, A. Shaheen, proprietor. _ _Mr. Abrabham is well known in the Camp and very highly respected by all for his square dealâ€" ing and fairness, so that his guaranâ€" tee of bargains is proof cnough for most people that there are genuine snaps at the Sale advertised in anâ€" other column of this issue. The first instalment of taxes for the Town of Timmins will be due this year on June 15th. In making taxes payable in two equal instalments, the Council had intended to have the first instalment payable the first of June, but it will not be possible to have the assessment courts, ete., over in time to make that date practical, so the 15th of June has accordingly ‘been set as the date for the first instalâ€" ment. Mrs. W. 8. Macpherson and childâ€" ren have gone to Washington, D.C., to spend a few weeks with relatives. All will regret that Constable Greer is confined to his home through an attack of rhemmatism and grippe, and even ‘the many whom he has ‘‘run in‘‘ will honestly hope that he is soon ‘*‘*out again"‘ in his usual good health. here.first. it is nolt sugg@gesledq Luat ie canoves were taken to sell. It is not even believed that the faker is a kleptomaniae, but rather that he is a longâ€"headed fellow.

V. Fraser, of Coch ane, spent Easter with Mrs. Fraser‘s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Clark. Mr. W. Clark, of Alexo Mine, was also a visitor at his home here during the Easter season. Mr. D. A.

Then the argument resumed, *‘ ferce, fiercer, fierceest,""‘ until it fairly sizzled ‘*He couldn‘t take away the franchise from any women when none of them had it before,"" says the Union Govern ment man. **But he should have given it to all,""* says Sir Wilfrnd‘s worshpâ€" per. ‘*But you can‘t take away, even from a woman, what she never had,"‘ thunders the Union Government man. And so they kept it up until they got so hot they automatieally cooled them selves off again. And then they deâ€" cided that the hbets should go to the Red Cross or the D.Y.B. Club; in any eyent, no matier who was right or wrong. â€" Accordingly they said to the stakeâ€"holder, **Just pay the money over to the D.Y.B. or the Red Cross, â€"from two old fools."" At a dance held on Easter Monday evening at the residence of an Austriâ€" an in Moneta, a German was alleged to chave made some imprudent=â€"and impudent suggestions about the war and its outcome. â€" The remarks reachâ€" ed the ears of the police and Ofhcer Allen, Constable MeInnis and some of the Dominion police visited the house and stopped the danee that was in progress long enough to take away the four present who were alien enemics. These men were questioned the station and while they first denied haxina« aven mant:onet the war they Capt. Geo. T. Bailey, formerly of Cochrane, who recently achieved notâ€" oriety and a three months‘ termâ€" by repeating the statement that 90 per cent. of the soldiers overseas were drunk on Christmas Day, has ‘been struck from the strength of the Army Medical Corps, which is a polite way of saying that he has been dropped out of the military service. The fire bell rung Monday night at nine o‘clock and caused some seatterâ€" ing among the outside firemen and others. Even a local lodge came near to being overthrown by the rush of some of the members to get outside at the second tap of the bell. When the proper form of alarm did not maâ€" terialize several suggested *‘‘April Fool,‘‘â€"but it was not exactly that, â€"simply the change of time in the ringing of the curfew bell. Starting April lst the curfew rings at 9 p.m., instead of 8 p.m. as through the winâ€" ter months. According to the eustom of tluis country traffic on the ice on the river is perfectly safe until a team goes through,â€"then it is If: a team is drowned through the ice, then traffic on this roadway is considered actually dangerous. As a consequence the ice on the river this year may be considered doubtful now,â€"even near to dangerous for teaming. The other day a team and load went through the ice and the horses were rescued with difficulty. The load,â€"a load of 100 bags of flour,â€"is at the bottom of the river. The flour belonged to the Grosâ€" sart eamp.â€" The Ioss of so much flour at this time isâ€"a â€"moreâ€"serious matter than the actual financial loss. Flour is one of the things that the authorâ€" ities have specially asked to ke conâ€" served to relieve the shortage overâ€" seas. A hundred bags of flour would keep a hundred families overseas for several weeks, so the river should now be recognized as fully dangerous for teaming,â€"especially if the load be flour.
