replies to his small advertisment for pigs twenty- two calls for 35c certainly go to show that the tribune is the biggest meeting place for both buyer and seller try it and see see householders who are favor ed with a hydrant close to their place of residence would do the fire brigade and others a great favor by removing the snow from off the top of the hydrants so that they may be readily seen it is not necessary to dig them out entirely as snow around them helps keep the frost out- however they should be sufficiently cleared of snow to be seen in case of emergency 0 o o d o losaoi n c the

when a similar report was circulated about himself the thing was greatly exagger ated mrs mcmullen who is approaching her 81st birthday is quite well and the family are at a loss to know how the yarn got started friends were natur ally pleased to learn that mrs mcmullen is quite well and happy although the equivalent space of four and a half class rooms were added to the stouffville school building last summer the amount of coal consumed thus far is no more than any other winter the explanation is that the heating system at the school was completely overhauled and brought uptodate results show that a lot of coal was be ing wasted under the antiquat ed system discarded last year in a normal year a 50 ton car of coal is required for heating at the school and occasionally this is not quite sufficient the fact that the weather has been mild er than the average winter is something that has been in fav or of preserving the coal pile this year but allowing for this fact the new system has been a great coal saver over the old one that trouble never comes single handed but must be handed out in threes seems to have come true once again al though the trouble in this in stance is spread among a num ber of people and one auctioneer no less than three public auc tion sales advertised through the tribune last week were cancelled from one cause or other- beginning with the estate sale of the late elias lehman which was cancelled because of changing arrangements among the parties concerned the cancellations continued to the wood sale in whitchurch and then to another

friday afternoon a sale of mrs frank millers furniture was to be held in town mrs miller became ill and was sent to the brierbush so the sale was cancelled making the third with drawal in 10 days
