It is difficult to choose a sample among so much that is fine, but perhaps the following will give BS clear an idea as any of the excel- lence of Mr. Howey's dork: THE l-FGENI) OF NATURE'S COLORS. -Dame Ethel "When tho artist was painting the rainbow. In the matchles.H blue of the sky, Attracted by its beauty The birds of song sailed by; And some were splashed with the color drops That fell from His brush so wet. And everyone of those Mrds still wears That splash from the rainbow yet. And when the artist had finished He curved it in the sky, Above a maple forc.it.

Why not go to India, brother, and | amalgamate with the Hindoos? * * * I At a certain poll in Muskoka in the recent election a Dut;h D.R.O. was counting the ballots and instead of saying "Ecclestone," ''Berner," he was saying "Vet," "Dry." So he counted along, "Vet, vet, vet, vet, vet, vet, dry." The dry seemed to astonish him, hut he went on again, "vet, vet, vet, vet, vet, dry." "Say," said he, '•dot dry son of a pun voted twice." â€"Exchange. About The Nominations Rumors of the pcr.-;nnQl of tho conn- cis of Artemcsia, Osprey and Flesh- erton are flying thick and fast these days and much interest is being taken i in the outcome of the nomination-! The number of holds-up in banks and other places of business increases i in Canada as v.-oU as the United which are to be held on Monday next, the former two in the afternoon and Flesherton in the evening. An elec- •) tion in Artemesia and Osprey is al- most certain. In Osprey it is ex- pected that Mt. Taylor will be oppos- ed by Mr. Geo. Ross for the Reeve's chair. The total voting population of Osprey increaicd during the past year and they will have a deputy- Reeve for 1927. Messrs. Geo. Ross Reeve for 1!)27. Mr. W. E. Edwards will teek elevation fro.ri the council and will be opposed by Mr. John Lockhart for the Reputy-Recveship. The other members of the council, L. Cameron, Joseph Henderson and J. Grummett will likely seek re-election. In Artemesia Township the question of the abolition of statute labor is again to the fore and a vote will be who was defeated on that prograiy last year, will again come forward a;; a proponent of thr.t principle and give the present Reeve, Mr. J. Ho- garth, a fight. Mr. T. R. McKenzie is also mentioned as a possible candi- date, but we doubt if Mr. McKen?.ie will stand. There v.-ill be two can- didates for tho position of Deputy- Reeve, the present holder of office, and Mr. Herb Corbett, who has been a member of the 1926 council. It is said that Mr. Thos. Mercer will drop out of the council and not try for re- election thi-3 year. It was thought that ho would try for the Deputy position. For the council John Davis of this year's council will seek re- election and Messrs. Fred Pedlar and Bert Magee are said to be likely can- didates from Eugenia ward, but it is likelyP 6Duog In Flesherton the preesnt Reeve, W. J. Meads, will seek re-election and it is expected that there w-ill be some new faces for 1927. However these are just guesses and it not exactly known who the council wil be com- posed of for 1927.

A CONTRAST The Alliston ball team, champions of South Simcop two years in success- ion, was Voted ^.-iO to help defray ex- nenses of souvenirs which were being given the playcra who brought distinc- tion to the town by their prowe.is on the diamond.â€" Alliston Herald. Quite a contrast to the Flesherton Council which would not even consid- . ,„v,^„„ er helpinR for a banquet to the local «f the highway. t«ftin which won the Centre Grey championship two years in succession alto. The Alliston Coancll feels that their ball team has indeed been an asset to the town, which is correct. is therefore moved to offer this ad- vice to robbery victims: "Do not resist; do not look down the pistol barrels, but gaze intently at the as- sailant." Flippant remarks, such as "Is my hit on straight," or"may I nee the time before you take my watch," are decidedly bad taste in the thick of a stickup. * * • Mono Township, in the near-by County of Dufferin, manages to keep in the limelight. Us latest essay is to issue a municipal promise to pay |3 reward to anyone who shoots a dog discovered woi-rying or wounding sheep within tho boundaries of the township.
