new market are circulating a petition asking council to pass a bylaw for compulsory closing of business places every wednesday afternoon throughout the year excepting the months of november and december like in stouffville and improperly signed petition was handed to the council but when the merchants of the canal town got wised up they are promptly proceeding to obtain the signatures of 75 per cent of tradesmen in each different line of business the idea of remaining open during november and december may be a good idea and may help to obtain more names to a petition in the meantime what about the move ment in stouffville commenced last year and which so far has only pro- voked newspaper talk farmers are receiving 110 per bag for potatoes and around 12c per bushel for turnips this january it is said that potatoes could easily go higher in price but too many of the consuming public would have to do without and this at once reduces the demand however if present price for tubers is maintained it is not too bad turnips may easily advance to higher levels there was a demand for radio licenses on monday morning in town when a car from the radio depart ment ottawa cruised about the village with an officer in uniform along with the driver their first business was to check up on the licenses purchased and then call at a few homes to ascertain if they had procured the necessary license for april 19356 so far as we know there were no charges laid the radio tax is highly unpopular one and people have a feeling of disgust when they come to put up the money there are several men down at ottawa drawing fat salaries as a radio commission for which much of the license money must go so far the new king government which protested against the commission when out of ollice has taken no action to wipe out the tax or the commission but perhaps it is too soon to expect such action new licenses for 193037 are now being printed which would indicate that there will be no change for another year at least the radio year runs from april to april those on relief and in distress circumstances are relieved of the tax but they must satisfy the officer or the department of their distress farmers have a good chance to escape prosecution when they neglect to buy a license as it is not practicable to run into every farm lane to acsertain if they have a radio and a license for it hence the whole thing is a bungle far better have a tax on radio tubes than a radio license stouffville curling club dropped from the ontario tankard on mon day when they failed to present their two rinks for competition owing to reeve harry sautters being slightly indisposed with a cold the boys de cided not to go to toronto the rinks as chosen for this competition were ii sanderssk js dougherty frank rowbothain harold sanders and the other rink t birkett sk w r sanders walter brillinger henry brillinger two young buys were lined 11 each in the barrie police court last week for hunting with a gun on the sabbath day this should serve as a warning to those who go hunting from in and around stouffville on sundays one does not need to be caught in the act of shooting for as the magistrate pointed out in the barrie case anyone in possession of a gun where game is present was prima facia evidence against such person motor licenses and permits may bo procurred as usual at unionville office mils oam davidson license issuer the the village streets were sanded last week to make them more safe for walking both the roadway and sidewalks were bound up with ice and elderly people came out only at the peril of fracturing a limb the street and walk committee of the council introduced the sanding on friday which was a good thing al though store keepers and some house owners do not like the way it tracks onto the floors at that it is a great improvement on ashes when it comes to tracking the floors ami sand is even superior to salt which eats into the floors and discolors them stouffville has at least three citizens living at the wonderfully advanced age of 90 years or more they are mrs sarah hamilton aged 95 mrs catharine bruels aged 91 and this month of january mrs jane williams is 91 years of age one or two others are very close to the ninety mark and mrs jacob foek- ler if she were at home would be on the advanced age list mrs williams who passes another mile stone in the long journey of life is the recipient of congratulatory re marks from all her old friends at at this time and like the poet mrs williams may say pleased to look forward pleased to look behind

stouffville the town of burlington hamilton got into the light early in the year by the chief of police being instructed by the town council to protect bachelors during leap year from designing females who persist in paying attention to the unmated of the male sex with the object of marriage to the great annoyance of the nervous bachelors it is only by long- established precedent that men have asserted their prerogative to the sole right to propose marriage the late queen victoria with the consent of her parliament berng higher in royal rank than prince albert pro posed marriage to her future royal consort the spinsters of burlington are made appear a bold pre sumptuous lot we do not anticipate chief quibell of stouffville will be given any orders by the village council to give special attention to the protection of bachelors against persistent annoyance of the unmated opposite sex stouffville spinsters are too well satisfied with their lot in life and anyway none of them hai become desper ate enough to try out connubial felicity nothing short of a call from the professional business or retired bachelors would move the local authorities to take such action as was dono in burlington mae west for they are putting on another big carnival on the evening of wednesday february 5 to be known as the cay nineties novelty races and liberal prizes as announced on the big posters now out watch for them and get the details for this is a night of real fun and a tremendous crowd is anticipated good baud music mu lock realizes days may end at any moment but enjoys life

me but sir william indicated that he was looking forward to the open in of the fishing season if he lived he hoped to fish for trout on may 1 and for bass on july 1 the dates of the opening of the season for those fish thats worth living for isnt it he asked he felt well physically and he asserted had made no change in his habits he still went to bed when he felt like it he said ate what he liked and drank what he liked mr george watson was in montreal last week where he spent some time looking over the big horse market in the royal city he saw a considerable number oi animals change hands but the big western canada horse seems to have the edge on the locally reared equine they sell them cheaper and seem to be satisfied with the lower prices mr watson declared that good ontario horses could be bought for less money in montreal than would induce owners to part with them here at home on the return rail trip to toronto our local citizen was on the train which ran into a truck just out of belleville killing the two occupants and demolishing the truck to nothing evidently the driver did not see the train at all for they were struck right in the centre of the truck which was cut in two and the load of small parcels number ing several hundred pieces was scattered to the four winds the train consisted of two dozen coaches with a big powerful engine but the im pact was perceptible to the passen gers who were awake at the time and mr watson distinctly felt it one of the young men killed had just been married a coule of years it was reported chief justice sir william mulock was 92 years of age on sunday and he still performs his judicial duties as assiduously as he has done at any time during the past 30 years moreover he still finds time for a variety of other activities and for attendance at many public gatherings he walks less briskly than he did a few years ago and it is said has more difficulty in stepping into a boat when he goes fishing but that is due in part at least to an injury to one of his knees that he suffered some time ago just a week ago sir william join ed as a charter member of the county of york law association with his fellowlawyers in the cele bration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the organization shows vigor- he has presided for four hours daily in the ontario court of ap peal this week he has followed arguments of learned counsel and in delivering judgments in several criminal cases he lias shown his old vigor in censuring wrongdoers sir william bears the burden of mis years well and

markham village last week that a certain town with a public school attendance ol 300 showed an average attendance in the sunday schools of the place of only 100 with this in mind we made a checkup on the situation in stouffville on monday which re vealed that no less than 325 child ren were in the sabbath schools of this village last sunday one of the coldest days of the winter when the attendance was naturally away be low the average the possible num ber on the rolls of our public and continuation schools combined would barely exceed 300 hence the showing is highly favorable and commendable to the parents and children alike the figures below show the attendance for last sun day and the average for each sun day and the average for each sun day school it will bo seen that the cold affected the mennonite sunday school more than the other schools due no doubt to the fact that a heavy percentage of children in that school come from the country and they would have to face drifting roads as
