Cargo Pass€s People Love Adfentore THIRTEEN REEVES IN 8« REARS Co-incident with the announcement that the Grey County Council was 80 years old on Tuesday, January 23, is the fact that the township council of Euphrasia was al-so orpranized 80 year.s ago, and ha.s functioned continu- ously since that time. Attention has been called to the record of Euphrasia witli respect to its reeve, as during the entire eighty years the township has had but thirteen reeves, which is believed to be a record for any town-' ship in Ontario. In one or two in- stances the reeves were returned for a second period, but there are just thiiteen names in the list. February is wee but mighty. I Mid-Winter I I Houseware Sale!

For aome time Mr. Cargo liad aot been feeling rery atrong, bu* was not confined to hia bed until Tuesday of last week. ' General debility and heart weakness were the combined cau«eg of his death. The deceased was born and brought up on the east back line some five miles from the village, where he con- tinued to live until coming to th« village about 15 years ago. He was the .second son at the late Mr. and Mrs. Wni. Cargo and was the last one of their family of two sons and two daughters. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, who previous to her marriage was Miss Charlotte Bowler, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Bowler of this locality; also two sons, James and William of Markdale and two daughters, Mrs. Hamilton of Sarnia, and Mrs. W. Erskine of Mea- ford. The funeral took place on Tuesday sei-vice being conducted at the home at 2.30. Plow Reached Maxwell On Friday a determined effort was made by a Provincial plow to open the Collingwood Gravel Road for motor traffic from Plesherton to Singhampton. TThe road was open- ed as far as the farm of Mr. Geo. Ross, east of Maxwell, but It was then decided by the County Road com- mittee to cease work and wait for nature to take its course in the spring. Many heavy drifts were experienced between here and Maxwell and the cost of keeping it open would be greater than any benefit derived, so the project was dropped. Time is a great healer, but it will never be accused of being a beauty specialist. Fashion experts ar(b finding it more difficult than ever to devtst hints that will make women more beautiful.

MI'.KE FOS YOU. The Toronto Daily Star has bten publishing each day three to four pagres of picturea depicting the hor- rorg of war, '^th the idea that it will arouse the people to a realization ol the futility of war. E. A. Warner, editor of the Burks Falls Arrow and a former member of the C. E. F. has the following to say of the above aim of the Star in the recent issue ot The Arrow, and his view is held by many other returned soldiers: "Whether anything will be achieved along that line is very questionable. Isn't it of Garabaldi that the story is told that in one of his campaigns he lined his troops up before him and pointing to the rear he told them that thiere lay home, friends, comfort, safety, plenty, ease and life; then pointing ahead he said that in that direction lay danger, hardship, de- privation and death and that every nyin was free to take his choice. The story records that every last man in that army accepted the path of dan- ger and death. We have not the teast assurance that the men of thit present time, or of a decade in the future, would not make the same choice if it were put to them. The writer spent forty-two months under arms, more than two years of it in France and Belgium and was in three major engagements as well as num- erous raids, has a perfect record for conduct and his book marked as "dis- tinguished" as a Lewis gunner so that we can lay claim to having seen some of the horrors of war and yet as we looked at those pictures, qui>te a num- ber of the scenes of which we recog- nized, the sensation that we felt was not that of repugnance 'or horror but rather a desire to feel again the thrill of crawling across no-man's land at night to set our gun on an enemy parapet. Sometimes as we get almost heartsick with the monot- ony of the daily grind we could almost wish to hear the roar of a German Gotha coming with its load of bombs or to see a Very light go up at night or a bunch of star shells break over the quietness of a Canadian evening. We will bt accuseu of being heartless and blood-thirsty but the point we wish to emphasise is that if such feelings can be aroused in one who is hovering around the half-century mark what is likely to be the attitude of the youngster whose blood is cours- injj through his veins much more rap- idly and who is all on fire in his search for adventure and activity. The battle spirit is imbred in most of us and it will take more than the recitation or picturization of the liorrors of war to eradicate the readi- ness for a fight from the hearts of Canada's husky sons." interesting History A 8ui>e«rii;er writing from Toronto in reference to the above says, "I was reminded of • »tiU older book left by my father, a S. S. record dat- ing from 1866 until 1870 when Fred- erick Armatrong was Superintendent of the Proton S. S. held in "Arm- strong's church," now Iniatioge. Two of the teachers were Miss (Mary Jane Strain (Mrs. P. Armstrong) and her brother Wm. Strain, later of Flesh erton. Some of the names, which it Btill contains are Mrs. McGilvary, Mary Jane Stewart, Harriet Jane Leech, Jane Rowe, Mary Anne Arm- strong, Sarah Sr.odden, Alexander Snodden, John Large, Thomas Mc- Quay, George Drownlee, Christopher Johnston, and Henry Armstrong. I still remember Mr. Goheen preach- ing about Nicodomus enquiring the way of Salvation from our Saviour; possibly he was a relative of the Mr. Goheen spoken of in the Advance, and who was a local preacher; other local preachers were Joseph Strain Sr. later, his son Joseph Strain, Thomas Hutchinson, George Hutchinson, Thos. McQuay, Matthew Richardson, Dr. Christoe and J. W. Armstrong. My own class leader was Matthew Leech. Singing leaders, before the days of the organ, being Frederick Armstrong and later, John Higginbotham, Inis- tioge. My father and mother did not go to communion service by oxteam, but on horse back. My mother not weamig the riding breeches of today, but a long "riding habit," Cfwerimg her feet, which were not supposed to be seen. I remember sigrning the tem- perance pledge at the age of nine years, after having listened to a talk on Temperance by Dr. Christoe, part of which I still remember. Who knows but I might have become a confirmed toper had I not sigmied then! I was at the Diamond jubilee of the Inistioge church held last year, and w«T« a family name gitmm to Mm4 church aa in former day*, I im«gia» that the name might atiU b«gui witb "A", a« I think it wae an Ach«80«' who led the choir, an Acheaon wIm played the organ, Acheson's who gave the fin« dinner of which, I think, St of UB partook." 'May the spirit ot the fathers of that early day reftt upon the children and children's child- ren of th« present time. USE LOCAL-GROWN OATS According to Arthur H. Martin Departmental Official, it is consider- a!bly safer to sow well-cleaned local grown oats, even though tht' quality be rather poor, than to take a chance on sowing western feed oats. Feed oats were never intended for seed and, even when recleaned, may contain sufficient weed seeds to s'^'jd the farm to one or more weeds prev- iously unknown in the community. SKIM MILK OR MEAT In order that a poultryman may get every cent of profit coming to- him he must avail himself of all the means at his disposal to produce^ cheaply. When whole milk is sold' anywhere from sixty cents to a dollar a hundred pounds, skim milk has little value; yet, if it is fed to poultry, it will bring fair returns. If skim milk- were used instead of beef scraps as a source of animal feed, poultryment would cut down on their feed bill and their cost of egg production at the- same time. An experiment conducted at one of the Dominion Experimental Sta- tions, for five seasons proved rather conclusively that the lot of birds re- ceiving skim-milk laid more eggs and ' gained more weight than the one which was fed beef scrap, other feeds being the same. Skim-milk should' always be fed s'weet or always sour so as to avoid bowel troubles. Where skim-milk is not available beef scrap will have to be resorted to. t •> I Sale of Baking 'k McTavi^h Serviea StatioB I Sat.^ Febmary 24 X Under the auspices of Grey Chapter O. E. S.
