SWINTON PARK THE WAR ON THE SEA During the past week the war in Europe again brought ''he British iiavy to the front, when Gennany marched into Denmark, took complete command of that country and then commenced the conquest of Norway. The Germans made a lightning thrust in this caae and they are in possession of most of the ports of that nation. At the request of Norway Britain and France promised immediate aid in assisting the Norwegians in the defence of their country and the navy with marines and soldiers attacked the port of Narvick and capturet" tne port frona the Germans, drivir i? the invaders back into the mountains where their position is precarious. Through treachery from N'orwoijian officials the Germans easily took Oslo, the capital, and the work of conquering the south of Norway is in progress. Through sea fights duti.ig the past week fully one third of Gnr- many's navy has been destroyed and their supremacy in the Baltic Sea has been threatened when the Allijs' submarines laid mine fields in that area. 'We do not know defiinitely to what height of success the navy hasu attained, but we do know that Britain still rules the waves. The United Kingdom is after ex- port trade, and if we regard our best interests we will see to it. In other words we'll buy British every time there is a chance to do so. (Intended for last Week) Mrs. Robt. Ferris spent thv- Easter holidays with her mother, Mrs. J. R. Mclntyre. Lovely April showers this mom. So 'Cheer up" the robin says. Miss Jean McCormich, Reg.N., of London is visiting at her parental home on ten days' leave. We are glad to report Helen Black hie to be up again after having had rheumatic fever.

Best wishes to Mr. Jim McLean and Miss Violet McCannell of Boothville who were married at Dundalk on Saturday.

' Mr. and Mi-s. Jim Hardy and Elea- nor spent Sunday at the home of Fred Fell. Card of Thanks We wish to express our deep grat- itude to friends and neighbors, men and boys of the town for their many expressions of thoughtfulness and kindness in our recent bereavement, not forgetting the effort which made possible motor traffic to the cemetery. â€" H. B. McLean and Family. WAREHAM Miss Freda McCutcheon, who hab spent several months in Toronto, has returned to her home here. Miss Minnie Thompson has the privilege of spending some time with Mrs. George Allen and her twin daughters at Mt. Zion. In the absence of Miss McCullough, Mrs. A.

Some report a good run one day last week. Girls, above all things, wear your new Easter hat on Mother's Day. Above all things! ROCK MILLS A scientest says fish can talk.

Mr. and Mrs. Levi Duckett of Max- well visited one day last week at the home of Mrs. Thos. Betts. itThe mill oonunenced operationa on Tuesday of this week, with all the old hands back on the joib again. There is a nice stock of logs in the yard and there are still more to come in when the trucks can get through. There will be several months of sawing, which means steady employment for about 16 men. Many friends here are sorry to hear of the severe illness of Mrs. John Porteous of Flesherton. A nurse is in attendance. Miss Bessie Russell and friend of Flesherton visited the first of the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Russell. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Russell, their daughter and husband of Wilder, Idaho, are visiting with relatives here. iii mnm iii mnnm iiii n i n iiiii nm iiiii m ' (Intended for Last Week) The first of a series of educational meetings on co-operative health insur- ance was held in the 'basement of the church Monday night of last week. In spite of bad roads, a goodly num- ber showed their interest in this pro- ject T)y their presence and help in a lively discussion, presided over by Elgin McCutcheon, a member of the committee on Health Insurance for Grey and Bruce, in the absence of the convenor, Clifford Allen. After giving an opportunity to all to express their views, it was decided to hold further discussion groups in the form of 'Neighbor Nighft" in some home in each mile-and-a-quarter along the concessions called the (South Line, Centre Line and Third Line of Osprey township. It is hoped in this way to give every last person iij the commun- ity an invitation to attend one of these discussion groups, and thus al- low the comniittee to make its plans from the suggestion of the various groups, and develop a truly co-opera- tive spirit, which alone can make the Co-operative Health Insurance a suc- cessful project. Your interest in these meetings is hereby solicited. â€" Con- tributed by Miss A. McCullough. At the close of the project on sleeping gaments the Girls' Club pre- sented a beautiful table cloth to Mrs. Wilfred Inkster, as an expression of •\Ppreciation for her efforts in guiding: them in a difficult undertaking. NEW USE FOR CROWS In the Canadian Magazine, Forest & Outdoors, the story is told of some lads in Manitoba who had been exper- imenting, with considerable success, in the use of crows for the hatching of hen eggs. They find the crows nest and remove all the eggs and then place some hens eggs in the nest in place of the crows eggs. The av- erage crow can hatch out about three hens eggs, and apparently they have not yet discovered the trick which has been played upon them. We wonder if the Ontaritt crows would .be deceived so easily! If so, it would mean that wdile there would be no more crows, there would be useful chicks hatched for the good of the farmer. "This is a moat," said the guide, showing a party over an old castle. "Now, would anybody like to ask a question?" "Yes," replied the ' quisitive tour- ist, "I want to kn' - how anybody could get one in hip e?" Auction Sale FARM STOCK, IMPLEMENTS. FURNITURE, Etc.

For the first time in eight years, the two million bushel elevator at Col- ingwood, operated by the Collingwood Terminals Limited, has shown a net profit. "Are you sure she intends to man'y him?" "Absolutely! Just the other night I heard her correcting his grammar." Playing along the lake front at Southampton two young lads of that town came across a natural refrig- oration plant, with many perch frozen in the ice banks where they had been washed up by the waves. Procuring axes and a make-shift pick they dug up over one hundred pounds of the yellow beauties and sold them around town. Auction Sale FARM STOCK, IMPLExMENTS, ETC.
