WHO SAYS OUR FARMERS DON'T GROW ANY CLOVER' Dairymen Should Just "Take a Slant" at Bill Ogilvie's Ranch at Netrlands to be Convinced Entering the Citizen office with a thin sheaf of rye grass standing over six feet in height. William Ogilvie, the well known lawyer of this city, who also has a farm at Newlands, showed his sample with pardonable pride. "I wish the dairymen who were not satisfied with the showing of clover up here could have seen my red clover field," remarked the big lawyer. "It comes to my waist," he continued, and Bill's waist is a good way from the ground, for he measures over six feet by inches. This clover, of which he speaks, will cut the huge yield of four tons to the acre, according to his statement. Others who are making a good showing at Newlands are Tom Keen-an. who has two men working on his farm, and has 3000 strawberry plants in the ground. Sain Johnson Is also making a fine farm, and has a number of thoroughbred Holsteins on his place which are yielding wonderfully rich creamy milk, of which Mr. Ogilvie quaffed deeply. HOW TO BUY GOVERNMENT LIQUOR THROUGH THE MAIL Information for Out of Town People Who Wish to Purchase From Government Vendor Information has reached the Citizen that in many small places along the C.N.R. east and west of here no details of the procedure to be followed in making purchases from the government liquor vendor here have yet been received. In order to facilitate matters for these people, the following information is published: Each purchaser of liquor must first obtain a permit. These permits are issued by government agents anywhere, and by the liquor vendors. For $5 a permit may be secured good for one year. If a single purchase only is required, this may be secured for 50 cents, and is good for purchases of two quarts at the time it is applied for. Permits may be issued to anyone who has resided for one month or longer in the province. In places where there are no gov- rnTnent agents to issue permits and application is made to the liquor vendor by mail, this application must be accompanied by a specimen of the applicant's signature, the length of residence within the province and full address. In addition to the sum sent for the permit, there mast accompany the order the price of the liquor desired, plus postage or express to the point of destination, and plus 10 cents for cartage to the depot or post office. If the destination is at a point reached by an express company the express charges on the liquor may be sent collect to the consignee. Postage of liquor is allowed by the post office department at the following rates: 3 lbs. and under, 40 cents: 3 to 7 lbs., 55 cents; 7 to 11 lbs., 70 cents. For transmission by mail or express, liquor must be very securely packed in wooden boxes, or heavy cardboard protected by papier mache. Packing is done by the vendors, and special containers for transportation are being sent to each of the government liquor stores tor this purpose. In every case where an order is sent in by mail the permit must accompany the order, to be endorsed on the back. In the case of the first purchase, permit will go forward with the liquor if instructions are followed.
