THURSTON, - Editor Bit; BELLS AT OTTAW.\ THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE A EUITOUIAL NOTES An Ottawa correspondent sends an intere.stinjf account of what we may expect from the splendid carillon of flfty-thrse to be installed in the memorial tower of the Parliament Buildings. These music producers we are assured, will form one of the outstanding attractions of the Dom- inion. The contract, just let by the Government for the installation of the tower b':lls. provides for what wil undoubtedly rank with the finest carillons in the world and the ring- ing notes from the heights of the lofty grey buildings will be heard not noly in the surrounding city and far down the Ottawa valley but all over Canada by means of radio. The carillon, in fact, will becon-.? a truly national institution that average Canadians can constantly enjoy. The bronze bells to be used will vary from eight feet to seven inches in diameter and from ten tons to fifteen pounds in weight. They will be operated by mechanism much in appearance not only in the surrounding city and like an organ and will be capable of rendering every variation of musical sound. National airs, patriotic com- positions and popular numbers will be played with ease in notes that will echo and re-echo in the distano?. The bells themselves will be cast with such expert care by the celebrated firm of bell founders, Gillett and Johnston of Croydon, England, that it is guaranteed th;y will retain their tone perfectly and without variation for hundreds of years. The only change will be in the color of the metal, which will turn troan the rich brown of bronze to a still more beau- tiful green. The Ottawa carillon will be idiinti- cal in size, weight and number of bells with that destined to be placed shortly in the tower of the Park Avenue Church, New York, and now Hearing completion in the Croydon foundry. These two sister carillons will therefore be the largest in the world, the next in size being that in the tower of St. Rombauld's Cathe- dral at Malines, which has forty-five beils, the heaviast weighing about six tons. The bells will be arrang- ed tier upon tier in the belfry in such a way that as the passenger elevator travels upwards to the ob- servation gallery, ev>a-y bell ^\l be visible, while the works of the great clock will be well displayed in a large ^lass case in the centre of the clock chamber. The question now propounded is, will thsse sweet sounding bells help to improve the temperaments of soured Parliamentarians and aid in the suppression of excessive- volu- bility. Friday last, the I'Jth, was indet!d an unlucky day for some gamblers in whtat stocks, when the price fill so disastrously. • * • • .Scientists are atemnting to figure out why the total eclipse of the sun in January came five seconds later than the prediction. It was tei-rible of them to be so far out in their '••ilculations! * • • • Counterfeit $100 Canadian Imperial Bank bills have been forwarded to Canada by British banking institu- ; tions. from the latter's branches in I F^urope. It is thought that it is a ! blow by Russian Soviet counterfeit- ers at the Canadian financial houses. OSPREY COUNCIL Tka I aia %Mrm T pAiiriMi • '** Fle&horton, and a pillow from the 1 116 L8t6 MlS.

I FALLING OFF IN HORSESHOES Blacksmith shops ware' once to be i found in ainost every cross-roads village; today their number is small and decreasing annually, owing larg- j ely to the way motors are replacing ' horses on l);e roads. Another in- dication of \he extent to which this' once impori :int trade has fall: .t off | is seen in the decision of the United Statesi Steel Corporation to drop the footprints of the millions of purified, i manufacture of horseshoes.

Edv<ard3 ~ Cam; on â€" That the Council do now adjourn to meet {\t Maxwell on Saturday, Muy 30th, as Court of Revision at 10 o'c'.<,ck a.i'.i., and in regular ser;s!on at 2 o'cloci: p.m. Council adjourned. The funeral was held on Friday, March Oth, and was attended by rel- atives, friends and neighbors froi« far and near, and was the largest funeral that has been seen here for some time, thereby showing their re- spect .for the depart.'d and their sym- pathy for the bereaved. The funeral cortege left the home of her husband at 2 p.m. for the Presbyterian church, where Rev. Mr. Duffield preached an excellent sermon, taking for his text the Cth verse of the 14th chapter of St, John: "Josus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me." Rev. Mr. Shannon and Rev. Mr. Simpson aLo took part in the burial service at the grave, after which Beaver River Lodge No. 441 of the Ladies' Orange Benevolent Asso- ciation, assisted by members from Carnation Lodge No. 545, L.O.B.A. of Fleshii-toi] and Maple Leaf Lodge No. 530 L.O.B.A. of Maxwell, went through with the beautiful burial service of their ordtT. Sister Conron was a charter member of Beaver River Lodge No. 441, therefore this was the first funjral held in Osprey under the auspices of the Ladies' Or- ange Benevolent As.sociation. The ladies of this Order certainly de- serve credit for the way they showed their respect to a departed sister, first by forming a guard of honor at the home while the remains were be- ing placed in the hearse, then they marched at the frotit of the process- ion to the church, where they again formed the guard ul honorf i:'uni the church to the hearse and then led the procession in rigs to tho cemeterj', where thi y once mors formed the guard oi honoi iiom the hearse to the grave aiul re.iiained in line until alter the church service, wlirn ihey marched around the evixvv and con- ducted their beautiful burial service. erica Steel & Wire Co., a subsidiary of the Bteel corporation has sold the machinery, stock on hand and good | will of its horseshoe departm?nt to a [ Chicago firm. It has been using only ' 18,000 tons of steel a year for horse- shoes and therefore is going to use its horseshoe plant for more profit- , able business. T!..; barn of Arthur Reid, lot 10, Prin.e of Wales Road, Mono, was destroyed I ;• fire Mr. Reid went into the sta'u'"' to do the chores. He hu.n? the lantern on a hook in the feel room and went into the loft to put down some hay. One of the hor- ses got loose and it is thought knock- ed over the lantern. The fire spread veiy rapidly. One horse, eight pigs, 60 hens, all the implements and a considerable quantity of grain were consunud. The bam was 60x65 feet and was a first class structure. The loss is partially covered by in- surance. , Tenders For Farm < TENDERS will be received by the undersigned up to Tuesday, the 31st day of March, 1925, for the purchase of Lot 176 in the Second Concession north-west of the Toronto and Syden- ham Road in the Township of Arte- , inesia, brfotiging to tha estate of the late James Russell, deceased.

DEER BECOMING PLENTIFIL Trees Free The deer in this county have been protected for a number of years, and as a result have propagated amazing- ly, especially in the southern part of the County. All the southern town- ships in this county have nior; or les? deer within their borders, but Proton township is the banner municipality in this respect owing to tha large amount of suitable coyer within its confines. To give an idea of the large iiumbel of these pi . '-ty animals in Proton we might cite that one day last week no less than eights .m were counted in one field on an adjoining farir. there were eight at thj same time. Thii was about n mile south of Proton Station. It is supposed th»t ths mild weather and thaw drove them out of the vfiX, swamps to graze o.i the tender young shoots of gra-?--.
