Editor EDITORIAL NOTES Next public holiday- will be Thanks- giving â€" likely Monday, October 10. • • • The harvest is now aboui, over. Let us all wish for good prices foi. the generous yields. Let us be thankful anyway. • • • Farmers, take good care cf your live stock. Cattle stealers are gett- ing their work in some parts of the province. • • • The Toronto Telegram /Joncludes that this is a free country, e.xcept for income tax, sales tax, property tax, gasoline tax, succession tax, fishing licenses and liquor permits. There is also the recently imposed tax on railway tickets (if you sleep). * • * F'u.y years ago, this month, a Wel- lington county man advertised that he had twenty years' experience in treating cancer, and never lost a case! The gentleman must be dead by this time, or he would have an opportunity if he told the truth, to be a million- aire many times over. * * « Canadian telegraph companies are trying reduction of rates to aid their funds. The public will approve. Special 'phone rates, which have for some time been in force, probably led to the change. Competition some- times helps the public while promot- ing business. * • • Another government commission is aibout to report, and it is learned that it will recommend various re- trenchments on the National Railway cessation of unnecessary competition between the National and C.P.R. at rival points. We trust that busin- ess will so improve that it will be possible to avoid further curtailment of employment on the lines. There will be no amalgamation of the two systems. The public would not stand for that, and the politicians dare not suggest that such a sugges- tion of healthy competition should be attempted. Another Makes Good Another Flesherton boy has risen to an important position in the auto- motive world. Mr. Wm. Wilson, son of Mrs. A. Wilson of town, is super- intendent of the combined Hudson Essex motors and the Canadian Top and Body Co. L niited, of Tilbury, Ont. Will had considerable exper- ience with the Studebaker people in Walkerville and also worked in To- ronto. He has been in Tilbury for the past couple of yeai's and has ad- vanced rapidly with his firm there and this year was appointed superin- tendent of the two plants mentioned above. We are pleased to know of Will's success and wish him a con- tinuance of the same. Two Brothers Died I ROBT. BEECROFT OF DUNTROON AND BENJAMIN BEECROFT OF VANCOUVER, B.C. WON SILVER MEDAL George E.

Mr. and Mrs. H. Garner and daugh- ter, Irene, of Toronto were week end visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Gilbert. Mrs. Gilbert, who had spent a few weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Garner, returned with them. Miss M. K. Graham left on Mon- day of this week to resume her mill- inery business at Listowel. Miss May Craham accompanied Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Graham and fam- ily of Markdale to Toronto on Friday of last week and spent the day at the Exhibition While passing through Flesherton one day recent 'v we noticed the town flower bed hai! been removed. As this, if we can remember rightly was a gift from the Women's Institute we began to wonder if the good old mem- bers of the Institute were all dead or had moved away. Green grass is all right in a way but when it takes the place of a beauty spot it is not noticed so much by the passer-by. Late R. A.

Tied Lacrosse Game Durham brought a box lacrosse team to town in Thursday evening last and held the Flesherton septette to a four all tie. It was a real good game and both teams entered into the fray in a strenuous manner with liard checking, although only three penalties were handed out by referee N. Becker of Durham, Flesherton taking two of them. The locals had the better of the play the first three periods, but in the fourth Durham injected into the game one of their best senior players, F. Murdock and allowed Durham to tie the score after Flesherton had been leading 4 goals to 2. Flesherton started the scoring near the end of the first period when Best received a pass and on a nice play fooled the net minder. Durham even- ed the score two minutes afterwards when Lawrence took a pass from Lauder. The second period had only five seconds to go when Phillips put Flesh- erton one up and in the third period Ed. Patton added another. Defeat was staring Durham in the face at this time and going into a huddle the management sent in F. Murdock, who immediately made his presence felt by giving Lawrence a neat pass to score and left the score 3 to 2 when the period ended. Les. Ferris grabbed the ball from a face-off near the Dur- ham goal and slipped one in, ending ihe scoring for Flesherton. Durham came back strong, rushed the Flesh- erton goal and added two more with F. Murdock being the spark plug of their attack and the game ended four all. It was a real game and a credit to the ability of the locals, only one jilayer having experience in lacrosse. There are three players on the team not eligible for junior company. It is expected that a team from Orange- ville will be the next opponents that Flesherton players will meet at the local arena.

THK I KADINC; ElK THE BUI ' Street Lighting Cost 'I'he cost of power for Flesherton has been raised by the Ontario Com- mission from $43 to $4,5 per horse ]>ower. This move was made, as stated by them, on account of the high rate of exchange on Canadian bonds on the N. Y. market. However, this will not make a change to thf' rate charged the consumers of power in the village, which remain the same. The cost of street lighting through- out town will be raised SI per light for 100 watt bulbs, which will mean that the entire cost will amoi'it to about SI 80 in the year. We are fortunate in having only this small rairc, which will be spread over the ^' ^â- â€¢â€¢erty h.">Mr-.^ i:' to'^-'i, inr-tt»a'! of having our residence and commercial 1 rates raised.
