the remaining wards of tho village so that their pet names may be published and thus known to all i the fire brigade was given an other call when on monday morn ing the alarm was sounded at 725 and a run made to the home of dent law in the locality of the presbyterian church jt was another of those chimney fires and the third in about two weeks timely help of the fire fighting boys removed all danger and no loss was recorded at any of the three threatened conflag rations a point worthy of mention about these fire alarms is that com paratively few people hear the alarm and the fire chief wonders what would happen if a really bad blaze had to be fought he says that less than a third of his men heard any one of tho three alarms recently sounded in the away back column of the uxbridge journal was recorded last week that 40 years ago this mouth dr walter a sangster of stouffville one of their young medical practitioners had sold his business in uxbridge to dr david clark and would

we about made our esteemed citizen 90 of course everybody knew there had been a mistake made so no harm was done dr sangsters long and honorable career in stouffville is not by any means complete yet for he is a busy practitioner and a citizen witli the welfare of the community at heart uxbridge will never know the big loss that was theirs when the young medical man left their community 40 years

seed growers may hesitate to buy alsike at the prevailing high prices we wish to point out two facts 1st alsike stocks the world over are the smallest they have been for 30 years alsike meadows were not in the best of shape last fall and the acreage is far from execessive so it may take 2 or 3 years to get stocks of alsike back to normal by growing alsike this spring you may profit by this situation fact 2 this county is the best in the world for producing alsike our land is especially adapted to it why not profit by this natural advantage and sow a crop that your farm is suited to our
