The Ontario Hockey Association (amateur) is much more lenient with its rowdy players than the Na- tional Hockey Association (profes- | sfonal)--at least with Toronto of- fenders. A De la Salle player who j last week deliberately struck one of { the KThgston Juniors on the head with his stick when the latter's back was turned, | the dce lin the Toronto Arena by the police, has been forgiven by the O, |H. A. executive when he should have ? [been suspended for the remainder of the season. The Toronto newspap- {ers condemned his action and | garded his suspension as certain. | Now the O.H.A. executive has creat- {ed this precedent: That 4 {player may | hit @nothér over the head with a | hockey stick and receive only a good | talking to for his action; that a re- | petition of the act will lead to sus- pension. Mhe OHA. governing re- | body dare mot treat any other play-| Ler differently from the way in whieh | has acted on the De la Sdlle case or it will be accused of favoritism, which is however but too apparent. | In the National Hockey Association, irowdyism is punished by the fining of the offending player both in police | court and by the club to which he | belongs.

OVERHEATED STEAM PIPE Was the Cause of a Small Fire at the Military Hospital, An overlieated steam pipe was the cause of a small fire at the military Tfospital on Queen street, about six o'clock on Sunday night.

In erder to 'secure 'hydro power service a group of farmers wanting it petition the township council for an estimate. The coun- cil transmits this petition to the Hydro-Electric Commission with a resolution asking that such an esti- mate be prepared. As soon as the estimate is approved by the Com- mission it is sent to the township council, which within thirty days calls a meeting of the ipetitioners and submits the estimate. If they desire, 'the petitioners then enter in- to a contract with the municipality for hydro power and the municipal- ity in its turn enters into an agree- ment with the Commission for pow- or for the petitioners. The (Com- mission then builds the line to the farmers' gates and the township pro- vides the transformers and motors. 'Construction is not recommended by the 'Commission unless there are at least three consumers per anile, the revenue from this number being re- quired ito take care of 'the annual fixed charges on the cost of con- struction, which include interest; de- preciation, sinking fund, mainten- ance and operation. The average cost of wiring barns onjfarms of from 100 to 150 acres 15/$110. The cost of house wiring ds much less than this. 'The service charge de- pends upon the number of consum- ers per anfle. It is $3 per month for three consumers per mile, $2.50 for four consumers, $2 for five consum- ers, and so on. The consumption charge depends upon the amount of power used. Six farms in Waterloo township paid from $68 to $100 last year for service charge and power combined. Now that hydro power has come this far east, Kingston and take advantage of it.

WINTER WEARINESS I'm tired of snow, I'm tired of sleet, I'm tired of I'm sick of wintry weather. guy, I strive to chirp and chortle, and hand some glee, as 1 pass by, Lo every sighing mortal. To find some joy in everything is always my efideavor; but how can one rear up and sing, when winter lasts for- ever? How can a minstrel swat his lyre, to glad and pleasing numbers, when he has naught to feed the fire, and freezes while he slumbers? Xach day I think the cold will break, the winter be exhausted; 'and every morning when I wake I find my whiskers frost- ed. Each day 1 see some hopeful sign that spring at last is coming; and in the night, at half-past nine, } hear a blizzard humming. T'm tired oF chilblains in my toes, I'm tired of influenzy; I'm tired of every wind that blows from back of the McKenzie. I'm tired of ice in sheets and peaks, of ashpiles large and dirty; I'm tired of grates and easy chairs, when I'd be out chgo- -chooing; this climate's built for polar bears, and hence my loud boohooing.
