Loss at the “are, purchased by John Reid. 'Mllverton, trom W. C. Reuber, three weeks ago. is estimat- ed at $1,500 including damage to stock resulting trom heavy rain which poured into both storage rooms and the business section. Much stock was damaged before it could be re- moved. uEIght hydro linesmen trom the dis- trict experienced marked difficulty removing the tin. It was impossible to reach it by ladders. Finally ropes were thrown over the wires and the rooting was dragged along to the nearest pole. Then the ldneemen cilmbed the pole and cut the tin In two. When this was done the root’- ing dropped to the ground. A near-by chicken hatchery sub ftyred heavy losses when incubation was ruined. The dairy barn of Simon Friedman was damaged to the extent of $100. Trees were blown down and two chimney fires started by the hea- vy wnd.

It is said Maritime potato shippers want to increase their trade with Cuba, while the latter want con- eeBtrions for its sugar. The wind was a menace on the highways.

SEMI-VIII" In W. Ontario On Tuesday evening one of the local village lads, violently struck with spring fever, rummntred through the store-room and dug out his fishing pole. It wasn't hard to find a nice juicy worm in the back yard. Fastening the worm on the hook, he returned to the house for a coat. A few minutes later he rushed out, attracted by a commotion in the yard. A full-grown chicken eouldn't resist the temptation in the sight of a good fat worm wriggling about just above the ground. A jump, I gulp, and the worm was in the hen’s stomach. But so was the fish hook and line. Everything but the sinker! The Iad’s father soon put an end to the hen’s struggles, and the family enjoyed I roast chicken dinner on a week day. Ten to Thirty-tive Per Cent.

Dear Mr. Sim: I am in receipt of your letter of the 8th instant, enclosing . copy of one from the Presidents of the Waterloo Ind Kitchener Bond of Trude on the subject of the two cent or drop postage rue within these two_municipalities, _ The question raised is one govern- ed by s definite regulation. This regulation reads as follows: "Drop letter rate does not apply to a letter posted at one post oMee and delivered at an- other Et oMee, even if the two 0 ces are in the same municipality and only a short distance apart.” Kitchener and Waterloo are two 1listinet postal areas served through two post offhteB. Consequently. un- der the regulations the drop letter rate does not apply. _ It is impossible to allow the local drop letter rate of 2 cents to apply to letters posted in Waterloo for delivery in Kitchener, or vice versa, it is pointed out in letters received recently from Hon. W. D. Euler, Hon. J. C. Elliott, and P. T. Collican, of Mr. Elliott'. department, by President J. R. Beaton of the Waterloo Board of Trade. . The presidents of the Waterloo and of the Kitchener Boards of Trade, J. R. Beaton and B. J. Ball, respectively, recently wrote Ottawa asking for a 2 cent postage rate for letters delivered in Kitchener and Waterloo, posted in either centre. President Beaton and President Ball have again taken up the task of ttips lower postal rates for the Twin Cities, it being felt by the two trade boards that special consideration ould be given the two municipalities due to their proximity. President Beaton stressed to the Chronicle the Net that while certain householders are situated within Waterloo town limits, yet are not served bf letter carriers but by rural mail drivers, the regular 8 cents postage is charged. which is felt to be gross t; unfair. Waterloo residents residing in the East Ward close to the boundary are also obliged to pay a tee cent rate as their mail is delivered by Kitchener mail carriers. Below are printed the three letters received on the question. An regards the Border Cities of Windsor. Walherville, Sandwich and Ford, it is pointed out that in 1923 the district: served through thene ofBees were nmnigumuted nnd from the time of.the nmnlglmntion on the drop letter rate applied innsmuch u the postal operrtiorm within the Border Cities come under the juris- diction of a centnl ofBee.
