Assistance is to be given in the form of grants amounting to 50 per cent. of the invoice cost of clean- ing machines at local stations, such grant in no instance to exceed $500. The grant will be made available to an individual or an organization of farmers interested in seed-cleaning machinery, and provided it is shown there is a need for such equipment in the district from which the applica- tion comes. Each application must be accompanied by a petition signed by 25 farmers stating that there is a _ néed in the district for such cleaning machinery. Owners of plants receiv- ing Government grants will be asked to sign a seven-year contract promis- ing seed-cleaning service to neighber- ing farmers at reasonable rates. The plan is calculated to increase farm efficigncy and decrease grain produ:- tion costs. The result of seed drill _ #urveys in Ontario in the last two ~ years shows that more than 30 per cent, of the samples of seed taken from seed drills was undesirable on ~ account of heavy weed seed content. i Many purchasers of dairy cattle are "beginning to realize that a dairy cow 'worth what she is able to produce s investment, after taking care essary expenses.

This was a good clean game, and full of combination plays by both Leams, The deciding game will be played in Uxbridge on Thursday night, and it certainly will be worth seeing, as both teams are very evenly matched. 'Lhe first period was scoreless, but in the second round, Tom Harris, coming to the Uxbridge defence, shot the puck, and hit the defence man, Ired Switzer skated in, picked up the puck, by the defence, and, arawing the goalie out of his net, shoved it in. circlea Shortly after the face off, Switzer took the puck right through the Ux- biiuge team, and scored again for i'ort 'Perry. The first goal scored by Uxbridge was shot from outside the defence, when Dowson was not able to clear quickly. The Uxbridge player rushed in, and shoved both goalie and puck into the net. L'his was tried again, but Dowson was ready for him and spread him- right across the front of the net, and so saved. sell Norton scored two goals for Ux- bridge in quick succession. Albert Cawker tried to take the puck through the Uxbridge defence. tie was stopped, but the puck con- tinued to poll on towards the net. Lhe goalie attempted to save but missed, and in it went. Aiter the puck had been checked by Storey Beare, Fred Switzer picked it up, went' through and scored. Lhis game was so close that it seemed that it had to end in a tie, Uxbridge scored another - goal, which made it 4-4, and the game was over, ior Don't forget the game in Uxbridge on 1hursday night. At the supper after the play, the local boys presented Miss Kitching with a box of chocolates in appre- ciation of her help on this and other occasions, ---- COUNTY COUNCIL Standing Committees (The first named on each commit- tee is the chairman.)

In order to bring this about the motion suggested that a committee be appointed to be made up of the chairman of the standing committees who were to take up the matter of cuts in expenditures in their own committees and report back to the special committee just appointed which would bring in r dations serted that such a motion would be disastrous. A large number of ex- to the Council, W. J. Philp, reeve of Brock Township, was appointed as chairman of the committee. The motion was worded thus: "Resolved that this council pledge itself to a strict policy of economy. To implement this a special commit- tee composed of the chairman of all committees bring in a report stating how savings can be affected." Mr. Moore then went on to dis- cuss the details of a notice of mo- tion that had been introduced by Mr. Philp, in which Mr. Philp had pro- posed a cut of 10 per cent, in the salaries of county officials, and also in all expenditures. Mr. Moore as- penditures were not controlled by the county, Mr. Moore stated, so that it would be an unwise and unbusiness- like move in the part of the Council. As for cutting the salaries of the county officials, Mr. Moore stated that they would not be able to fill the places of the officials now serv- ing the county at the salaries now paid and that it would tend to inef- ficiency through the loss of faithful servants. Mr. Philp stated that the motion would get the council nowhere. Mr. A. W. Jackson, reeve of Whitby, in support of Mr. Moore's motion, stated that he was proud to be its seconder, as he thought there was not We Sell and LACT V7 Cm Th READING Hard Coal. sizes on hand.
