One of the monkeys, (the larger of the two) was captured by two of the circus employees who returned to town after tiie show moved to Owen Sound. The smaller monkey was not captured and dis- appeared mysteriously a day or two after the fir A monkey %ad /been caught. Where the smaller monkey went to was a mystery until after the leaves went off the trees. Then its skeleton was sighted in the top of a high maple tree at the rear of Mrs. Lockart's house. It is believed that the chain (which was attached to a collar around the monkey's neck) got caugtht in a crotch or branch of the tree, making the monkey a prisoner and causing its d^ath. â€" Dundalk Her- ald.

Ontario Legislature To 0>nvene January ^Oth The 1940 session of the Ontario Legislature will open on January 10, Premier Hepburn announced recently, following a Queen's Park conference with Col. Geo. A. Drew, K. C, Conser- vative Opposition Leader. All major legislation which has so far been considered by the govern* ment was didosed to Col. Drew. There will be a redistribution bill this session, as once forecast, the Premier definitely stated. The special committee, under the chairmanship, of Hon. Paul Leduc, Minister of Mines, which was named last spring on the demand of the op- position to enquire into various angles of Ontario timber administn^ tion, present and past, will convene as the session -commences, and *vill sit concurrently with the house. This course of procedure will save consid- erable money to the province,. Mr Hepburn said, inasmuch as the probe will be completed by the time the House prorogues. Much of the time and considers tio.i of the session will be given over to the matter of Ontario's war effort. The various standing committees, agriculture, labor and others â€" ^will be convened without delay and instructed to make whatever accomodations they deem advisable to expediate the war eflfort. The i^econumendaitions will be considered by the War Resour- ces Committee, which was appointed at the special session in September. The personnel of this last â-  amed o»- ganization will be inci-eased, Mr. Hep- bum stated. DEMOCRACY FIRST The sum with which the people of Ontario would save in one year by a moratoi-ium on municipal eleottions would probably be in the neighborhood of 1200,000. It is an exceedingly smaB amount in comparison with other expenditures which are at least equally unjustified. One night of hockey in all commun- ities affected would represent an out- lay of that much. More than that amount will be spent on rugby during the fall. Many times $200,000 is spent on unnecessary motor trips. A great deal more than that is spent on candy, soft drinks and for banquets over and above the regular meals. The sum of 200,000 is spent on beverages 250 times each year in Ontario. Why, if economy is necessary, strike first at something which con- stitutes a form of democracy which the war is calculated to protect. The trouble with stopping the Ger- | man sea raiders is that the ocean is a large place. . t Christmas ^ Suggestions This Store Offers a Wonderful Selection of Entirely New Seasonable Goods at Very Reasonable Prices Ladies' SILK SCARFS 25c to $L95 Ladies' KID GLOVES imported Flare CuflFs $1.50 to $L9S Ladies' Suede pLOVES Pull-on Style; all Colors 50c to $1.00 y«ivasuede PYJAMAS Non-run; new colors, one or two-piece styles $1.50, $1.95 and $2.50 Ladies' NIGHT GOWNS Crepe and Velvasuede; white and colors $1.00 to $1.95 LADIES' NECKWEAR Organdy Lace and Satin Collars, Jabots, Collar and Cuff Setts 75c and $1.00 LADIES' BLOUSES New Styles $1.00 to $2.75 Ladies' CREPE SLIPS White and Tea Rose $1.00, $1.49, $1.95 MEN'S PYJAMAS Broadcloth and Flannelette $1.49 to $2.95 HANDKERCHIEFS' In Fancy Box 15c to $1.00 MEN'S MUFFLERS Reefers and Squares 50c to $1.95 MEN'S NECKWEAR All New Patterns 25c to $1.00 WOOL SWEATERS New Color Combinations 1.50 to $4.50 MEN'S SHIRTS Collar Attached or Separate $1.00 to $2.50 Gift LINGERIE SETS Crepe and Velvasuede; White and Colors $1.00 to $1.50 FANCY APRONS New Patterns 25c to 49c LADIES' PANTIES White and Tea Rose Silk Crepe 69c Lace Trim 59c and 69c LADIES' HOSIERY Full-Fashioned; Silk, Silk- Wool 49c to $1.00 Men's Fancy HOSIERY New Designs 39c to $1.00 Ladies' BED JACKETS Lovely Pastel Shades Chiffon $1.95, Chenile $1 LADIES' FOOTWEAR Pumps and Ties $2.25 to $4.50 MEN'S SUSPENDERS Garters or Sleeve Holders 2Sc to $1.00 LADIES' STAPAKS The Newest in Baggage $4.95 to $9.95 SKI SLACKS Black, Brown and Navy $2.25 to $2.75 SKI CAPS, aU colors 89c to $1.50 Maderia PILLOW Slips Lovely Designs $1.50 to $1.95 Children's Knitted Suits Botany Wool; Smart Color Contrasts $1.95 Ladies' Wool Pullovers Big Selection 98c to $2.95 Men's Lined Kid Gloves Grey, Tan and Cream Cape $1.00 to $3.50 Linen Lunch Cloths With Colored Border; Some with Napkins 59c to $2.50 Rayon BEDSPREADS .'White and Colors $2.25 to $3.95 Jacquard Bath Towels New Smart Designs 25c to 89c BEDROOM SLIPPERS Big Range of New Styles 59c to $2.50 Ladies' HAND BAGS New Shapes 98c to $1.79 MEN'S BELTS All New 50c to $1.00 CHILDREN'S SETTS Rose Blue and Green Coat, Pullovers and Caps $2.95 ^^^^♦^^♦♦^♦^^♦♦^^♦♦^♦><«^H>^4^^^4^>^4^^^ Poultry WE PAY TOP PRICES FOR GOOD POULTRY, DRESSED OR LIVE WEIGHT Enquire For Our Prices Before Selling Your Poultry DELIVER YOUR CREAM AND MAKE THE EXTRA Ic PER LB.
