his bereave ment after all there does noi seem to be anything gained by extending the franchise to married women tor municipal elections while the hus band and wire may not agree on political candidates in the great majority or cases they do agree on municipal candidates and in too many cases the women did not exercise their franchise even on the first opportunity which was at therecent elections there is nothing more to be gained by two votes from a property than one but the act is not likely to be changed though it brings no advantage quality service bran and shorts quaker flouribr

104 the band receiving 52 of same last week end the hoardot trade had erected thenew slides at the park- ror use of the kiddies during the winter the slide is tirty reet long and fourteen feet in height and a shoot down the encline will provide the samesensatlon as a nose dive in an aeroplane last saturday the children clamoured about the slide like- a crowd at a bargain counter and enjoyed the new sport immensely a couple or local young men of a business turn of mind have em ployed idle time this winter in a profitable way financially we are told they entered tne peanut vend ing business on a new scale that is they opened a wholly new and un- thoughtor avenue ror the sale or their goods and how at public auc tion sales or rami stock in this dis trict the demand for peanuts is equal to that of hot dogs at the circus all that remains now to bring the auction sale up to the modern method is for the auctioneer to take along a jazz band to rill in the quiet minutes during lunch time never since adam was kicked out of eden have the clerk in the stouffville post othce enjoyed so much real warmth in midwinter as they are enjoying right now after the building was enlarged a furnace was installed which immediately changed the temperature from that more enjoyed by the eskimos to one of real warmth last week a fur ther onslaught was made on old king frost when the public entrance to the oltlce was subdivided into two compartments forming a vestibule while the space in the otlice is reduced to something worse than it ever was berore the temper ature in the inner parts is still more attractive and the ink bottles ren dered immune from freezing to those who complain about the incon venience and smaller space we would remind them that the health of the clerks in being protectced from the frost and flying glass from ex ploded niuscilage bottles must have first consideration the office space is warm and accommodation is very good the curling rink is now running for the season with a goodttend- ance or rock twitters on the job a great many new members nave slgued up and the cliib has now a membership of about yhtty while the boys had n lot o trouble mak ing ice

bill sanders wh todd h w sanders f l button the armstrong boys and many other ardent curlers of some years repu tation are able to draw a broad smile again a quiet effort has been rorth to find out where the ooys or 12 and 13 years of age are getting the cigarettes in town and last saturday evening a discovery was made by the father or one of the boys who had been furnished with these cotnn nails tob often in the past this man informed us that he stood by and witnessed the lads hand over their money to a man who is in the employ or a markham township far mer who immediately entered a barb r shop purchased the cigar ettes and when on the street again he handed them over to the lads this constitutes o serious offense against the law and it the proper course is pursued their win be a police court case some time this month unfortunately stourrvllle has no police protection and private citizens are therefore called upon to prosecute in such cases but in a case like this it ft a duty and a privilege the hotse market has been a dead one for so long that very tew horses have been purlliased the past summer by local dealers and there were no shipments to outside points from stouffville however last saturday messrs oeorge atson and ira anderson revived the business to some extent when they shipped a air or general purpose animals to toronto prices were in advance ot those

desirable horse flesh the long talked of slide for the children has at last come iutp- being and to anyone who has observed the hilarious fun of the young people who gather there afternoon and evenings it surely has justified the expense ah good things can be abused and we want to call atten tion to and warn against some abuses that have already crept in 1st older boys have been noticed starting oft the toboggans ot the children at the head of the slide be fore they were ready this spoils their fun and makes it dangerous none but those having sleighs or are with those having sleighs have a right to ascend the stair as it con gests the platform at the top a word to the wise is sufficient boys play the game and make it pleasant for all 2nd sunday use perhaps be cause it was new some forgot the day and used the slide last sunday positively this- will not be allowed let us all govern ourselves so that this new source of amusement shall not be marred j h ratcliff pre sident
