[ . \ccordinrr' to: items in the local papers of North Bay, Mayor Ferguson of that town has adopted the ‘plan of wearing overalls to aid in the fight to bring down the ‘hign cost of clothing. With the plan as far as North Bay and the weather growing mvyarmer, this overall plan is hable to reach this district at any time. If Dr. MeTInnis should blossom â€"forth in blue jeans some of these days, the citizens may be forewarned that Mayor is simply leading in the new movement to counteract the high cost of. ordinâ€" ary elothes, and not that he is going to pexsonallv assist in the material construction improvement and repaxr work now under progress in Timmins. MAYOR OF NORTH BAY NOW WEARING OVERALLS EUCHRE PARTY AT SOUTH END A HUGE SUCCESS. The ladies of the R. C. Clhurch held a most successful Euchre and Box Social at South Poreupine on Thursâ€" dayâ€" evening of last week and the South End ladies are to be eonflratu- lated on the pleasant Succeess aclnp\ ed by the event. A eorrespondent at South Poreupine writing of the event says :â€"â€" » + The ‘*Timmins Bunch‘‘ the guidance of théir genial paster gave t.he affair a big boost and had _ the saâ€" tisfaction of taking more than half the prizes home with them. A notable feature was the generoâ€" sity of our business men, who irrespet tive of creed, donated the beautif ul and costly prizes, 11 in all ' The short musical programme renâ€" dered during_ the supper. was an exâ€" cellefht one and appreciated byâ€"all. A piano solo by \lrs Brookes and vocal solo by Mrs. O ‘Neil were musical vens. 5.4 * \ The financial success of the box. Social end of the eveningAAvas largely. due to the untirihcr efforts of our. Reeve, Mr. C.â€"V.,Gailagher. e Ee m 'l‘he bD\(_‘b \\ere hoth artistic and original and the Ladies are to be conâ€" wratulatul on the efitcient manner in which the whole affair was earried out. This was the way an indignant citiâ€" zen started out last week to unburden dimself after an experience with one of ‘‘newsies‘‘ on the T. N. O. The sforésaid indignsnt citizen the other mornaning purchased an orangeâ€"â€" a single, simple, sunkist orangeâ€"on the train, and tendered the news agent ten cents for the sample. Ten eents looked ‘like a_big price for a small arange, when the best kind of oranges were wélling in the stores at Timmins for no more than 75 cents per dozen, or 6%/, conts each,â€"but the citizen beâ€" foreâ€"mentioned, ere ‘he hbecame inâ€" dignant, recognuized that it is the cusâ€" tonmn for news agents on trains to charge a little above re zular prices fsr everything. The news agent hand ed back the ton cepts. ‘‘A quarter please!!‘ he The â€"citizen, now indignant, did not pletse to pay a gquarter for a single orange of no part tcular quality or beauty. hunâ€" dred per cent. profit over hnd above and in addition to a reasonable profit upon ordinary retail prices was Just a little too much of a good thing. He mentally anathemized news agen.ts in general, and now, after sober second thought he is condemning the Govern ment that permits its cars to be used for such moerehandizing methods. _ i8 THERE PROFITEERING ~ BY T.
