WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES FORTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of January 27, 1898 The travelling- pu‘b'lic along Yonge Street have learned with regret thét the car sheds of the Metropolitan Railway Company Were tburned Sun- day evening about 9 o’clock. All their cars were burned except one of the new cars which had run 'to this village in order to clear the track after the snow storm. The power-house was saved after hard work by the firemen of North To- ronto and Rose Avenue, Toronto. Ai live wire is supposed to have caused} the fire. The 1055', some $10,000, is coveredx by insurance, Mr. Moyes, the manager, expects to have new cars in a few days. ‘ Twenty of the stables at the WOOd- ‘bridge Fair grounds were burned IMonday evening. Loss about $150. -No insurance. Cause of fire un- known. ' In; accordance with previous an- nouncement by the President a meet- ing of Curlers was held in the Coun- cil Chamber on Monday evening.

Don’t Worry if your job is small And. your rewards are few; Remember that the mighty oak Was once a nut like you. It is often said that there is not as much “courtesy on the road" as ‘there was in the good old days. It i is true many motorists are not prone to give lifts to anyone since the ad- venrt of the days of wholesale hitch- hiking. The case of the pedestrian {who collapsed on Yonge Street near lAurora last week and. laid on the lroadside for a considerable time is levidence of the indifference of the majority of motorists to those who ,trudge along on foot. Not many motorists would pass a real need!- ful case on the road and the great !majority will gladly give a lift to any deserving case. But so many ' people beg rides who can well afford ito pay for themrthat the great ma- jority of motorists pass up all hitch- hikers and the needzful ones lose out iwith the spongers. A strong resolution will be sent to the Provincial authorities by Owen Sound City Council, urging that slot machines be banned from the Prov- General News & Views ince. Collingmvood Township Council has imposed a license fee of $15.00 to sell milk. Coldwater Council advertised< all positions to which annual appointâ€" ments are made. James Wheeler, Erin, claims that an apple tree, on the Wheeler farm, on the 8th line, is 106 years old, and bore fruit this year. His father, the late James Wheeler brought the seed from the old country. An interesting comparison of pric- es is that of the prevailing- price 50 years ago and the prevailing price today, for farm produce in Renfrew county. Fifty years ago, prices were as follows: Wheat 80-90c bus., peas 59c., oats 35-36c, butter 12-20c 1b., eggs 17-20c doz., potatoes 50-60c bus., hay 39-310 ton, turkeys 8â€"9c 1‘b., geese and chickens 5-6c. Prices pre- vailing this year during the holiday season were: Wheat $100-$125, peas $200-$225, oats 55-60c, butter 34- 36c, eggs 25-35c, potatoes 50-60c, hay 38-311 ton, turkeys 20-25c, geese 17c, chicken-s 18â€"25c. Discovery of the rah-bit fever or- ganism im a patient at the Tillson- burg Memorial Hospital and recep- tion of news there were virulent -cases of the disease in New York state led deputy minister D. J. Tay- lor, Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries, to emphasize the possibil- ity of spread of the infection.

He said the provincial laboratories reported that everyone who dresses a rabbit without rubber gloves or eats one which has been improperly cooked may become infected. “Rabbits were almost wiped out in Ontario the year before last, I sup- pose by rabb?v fever," Mr. Taylor said. He explained there p05sib1y was no animal so subject to cycles pf deciminatiom by disease as the rabbit. V “The infmted rabbits bloat up, half an inch under the skin,” he said. “There are lumps like big water blisters.” The Motto. of some countries these days: Business as usual during- a1â€" tercations.
