Kditor Ql EKR RESULTS FROM FLOODS In the dinasters from floods caused by excessive rainfall in Europe, re- corded tiy cable in the jm.st few days, Holland has not escaped. As a great portion »f the Netherlands i-s under sea Ittvei, thfie will he a busy season of pumpinff. Holland is only i>ro- tected from the ravajfcs of the sea by the strong stone walls that are around her; the canals have no flow- injt outlet; and yo soon as these water thoroughfares threaten to overflow their banks, the steam pumps, which replaced those operated by manuel labor, are set to work night and day, to throw the water over the dykes into the North Sea or Zuyder Zee. One island, that of Marken, is the only section of thf hundreds of thou- sand of acres of Dutch mainland that vas engulfed by an ocean tidal wave in the middle aRes, and its pictur- esquely attired residents have only managed to keep their houses from being swamped by a strong wall. Even as it is, the main portion of the island is often deluged by tempestu- ous seas, and the people arc .t»iven an involiintaiy bath in ?alt water that is duly returned to tfle ocean by pu.>p- ing when the waters are in a les.' turbulent mood. There is not fresh water in the island soil, but there is an almost daily rainfall which sup- plies the islanders with a domestic supply. The resourceful islanders many years ago, at groat labor, im- ported soil for an artificial mound, placing it in the centre of the island. Herein they deposit their dead. If the bodies were buried in orthodox manner, they would be kippered by the oozing salt water! , EI)ITORIi^L NOTES Turkey lias discovered that Great Britain means to carry out tha deci- mon of the League of Nations on the question of the Mosul territory. The Turk knows it is better policy to wait, like Micawbar, for something to turn u]) than to force a conflict with world wide sentiment as well as Britain's strong arm agairtst him. Thus in these last days even the Tu^k learns. â€" <*^^ow for the sizzle in the Parlia- mentary arena at Ottawa. * * • Rumors persist that in the next Ontario election the government will re-establish liquor control with local option proviso. But Mr. Ferguson winks tlie other eye and says the question has not been even consider- ed by liim. One thing is certain. 4.4 has been a decided failui'e. * * • Now let us all pull to keep the re- vival of trade and confidence going. * * < Most |)eople nut their New Year resolutions in cold storage. What are you doing with yours? * * * Seventy-five per cent, of the Can- adian electorate voted at the recent genera! c'^ction. That is a better record than our usual municipal re- cords. This should not be. The man or woman who fails to vole for the best candidate offering d»es not deserve to have good government. * • • The first municipal elections in this part of the Dominion were held in Surrey township, Ray of Quintc, in 17.flO. ibis is a long time ago; but there has been much progress in these 136 years. 80 76 37 72 64 ! 46 34 78 FLESHEim>N HKJM HClUmi.

DEER DAMAtiE WHEAT yerir we forget our previously formed '*^ 1920, I remam YourF truly, -JOHN- ( Durham Chronicle.) The tale in a local newspaper of this district last v/eek about a deer having been seen on some ones farm in .Sullivan township, brings to mind the fact that in this particular iwction around Durham, the sighting" of half a dozen is not considered a novelty any more, sometimes as many as eight 01- ten being reported among the cattle of some of the farmers of the neighborhood. Last Saturday night we mentioned the matter to Mr. H. W. Hunt ex- Ueevo of Bentick, who said that all fall there have been three of these e'usivii creatures on his farm three miles Wer,t of Durham and that they hive been making tliemselves fully at home in a field sowed to fall wheat. The trio consist of a buck, a doe, and a fawn_ and Mr. Hunt says that one day recently, when his son Bert was going over the farm witli the dog which gave chase when he saw doer and chased them off the .olnco. In leaving, however, the buck man- oeuvered around until he got the dog to follow him, thus giving the doe and fawn a good chance to escape. Going across the farm, the buck easily cleared all the fences, and in running on the level he was clearing ;!«; feet with ev<>ry ju^ip over the ground. This distance ha? been veriv lied by actual measurement. The.se particidar deer have pretty well cropped off the field of eight acres of fall wheat, and being protect- ed, Mr. rtiint can do nothing to keep them away The riuestion now arises whether or Niot the Provincial Gov- ernment should not he responsible for a nuisance that they protect and which in this instance has done quite a lot of damage for which the gov- ernment is responsible. iipj'nions and prejudices and, with ^ conridence in oui'selves and trust in our fellows in both our private and public activities, strive to contribute something to our own and each other's material pi:osperity and happ- To the Electors of Artemesia: A.
