The Ontario Legislature was opened on Tuesday. Word from Toronto (s to the ett'ect that Sergt.

Owners of Ford ears will want to disguise their go carts this year, after the di.«gracefi.il sentiments uttereU by their manuf.icturer last week when he charged Eauland with bsing capable of smking the Lusitania hersef in order to bring on war wiih the L'liited States and (iermany, also in the present crisis of being capible of sinking an American (hip for the same s'nister purpose. Both Ford and and his car shouM not be allowed to travel on Canadian highways. We mean by this that the old ^ikintllut should not be allowed to do further business in this Jbuntry. Letters were received in town last week from Dr. VV. T. Little, who has for aoue months been working in a hospital at Bombay. India, statiug he would be in FlesherLoa in March to resume his practice.

When in the latter country he took typhus fever and was removed to Bombay, where he recovered and has since been doing hard work on the slatt' there. He will receive a warm welcome on his return here. Cost of Bad Roads \ company in Stanislau coun'y, Cali- fornia, that buys skimmed milk from the farmer has demonttraced to the rural residents in an emphatic manner Ihe value of good roads to them. Thi.s company sends trucks direct.'y to the farms to collect the skimmed milk, but it pays higher prices to farmers living on good roads than on bad roads. Un poor roads the company pays I7i cents per 100 pounds, but on good roads it pays 20 cts. Uf course, the farmer always has been paying this tax on every liuiidied p jumis he hauled over bad roads and he h.ks been relieved of it on every hundred pounds he had haultd over good roads, but that f:ict has not been brought 10 his cotice a.< in '.he case cited. When he mea-iurcs his distance from town in uiiuutes instead of miles he will see the protic of good ruads.

Scalp Torn Off Head A terrible accident befell Marsraret, the bright little foiuteen year old daughter uf Dr. McKay, E'.mbank, on Sunday night hst. She Willi her father had finished milk- ing and were in the dairy house where the separator is. The gasolene engine had been started and Margaret stooped to adjust the belt connecting the separator with the driving shaft. The shaft runs in hangf-rs inverted and placed on the lloor. The little giil's hair hung down ner bacK in two long plaits aud in stooping ever the braids touched the revolving shafting and in a moment wound about it. A startled cry caused the father to run to his daughter and a horrible sight met hla eyes. Margarets Mcalp Lad been completely torn off her head from eyes back and from ear to ear,one being partly removed. The child never lost ctmsciousness. The dcctors, who were immediately called in, decided to replace the scalp and .sew it iu position. <»n Tue.sday the little girl's position was so serious that it was thought she could not li.e, but yesterday there was considerable inpruveiuent and today, Thursday, they were able to remove htr to the General Hospital. Now it is hoped that she may recover and even that the scalp may grow on again. Dr. and Mrs. McKay arc almost pro- strated by the terrible happenin'g to their little girl. We join with their many friends in hoping she will be spared to them. â€" Brampton Banner.
