THURSTON, - Editor L'UiTORIAL NOTES Dealer.' roport that the price of Canudian potatoes is being kept down by a lack of demand from outside countries. • • *' Ontario fruits are said not to have sustained damaj,o by the late cold spell. Pt neh jrriiwer.} jfoir the worst scare, but are sa'd to be now happy. • • • The Canadian hen is not scared by recent c-jld snap.'i. Sh* hns been laying iiallo freely in rec^^it wee5:s, but i:i inclined to give rather light weight. • • * The Ciiiaiio nuinicipaliti;'.; are finding out that the propcjod partial remission lu the local inconio tax will result in their havina: to make up the taxes reniittod from the pockets of the taxpayers. •'Robbing Peter to pay Paul," as the old sayinsr has it. • » • Kitchener having raised the fee for a ci;c_us from $1.')0 to $300 per day, see how quickly Waterloo, next door neighbor, will bid for the visi- tors. There is no great profit in a circus visit, however, so far as the municipality i.s affected. The circus takes far more money out of a town than it spends. • • « That is good news that comes from the chief medical officer of Toronto, who asserts that death by diphtheria will be a thing of the past so soon as the use of toxoid, which it is claim- ed is really nature's own remedy, be- comes general. It must, however, be given early and in substantial dos- «s to secure the best results. No sore throats should be neglected. • • • Man..- congratulations are being ex- tended to Miss Dorothy Helen Wright dauphter of the late W. J. Wright, principal of St. Mary's Collegiate In- stitute. Miss Wright has won the Ontario Overseas Scholarship for 1927, the gift of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. The 1922 bursary for four years was also won by this talented young lady. • • • Hon. George Pf Oraham, having been called to the Senate, his place will be taken as Chairman of the Tar- iff Board by Mr. W. H. Moore, who bailed of election in Ontario County at the la?t election. Who says it is always a losing game to be rejected by the electorate? Mayhap a de- feated one may bob up as the "strong man" to run the liquor business in Ontario. tJrcy County lead.i all Ontario counties 'in co-operative wool market- ing. This fine old county increased its shipment.'! from approximately 46,000 pounds in 1!)2.5 to 40,500 in 1926. This i.s nil very well as to wool, but some of us in these parts would like to xcc a more ample and steady consumption of lamb for dom- estic consumption. There would sur- ely be money in it for the producer and much satisfaction for the con- sumer. • • • Lady Byng. vife of our cx-C,overn- «r-General, was so enchanted with the music of the swamp tree frog that she has arranged to have n collection of these amphibiam choristers sent to lier in Englnnd. They will begin their concerts this spring, unless they lose their voice in crossing the Atlantic. It is not generally known that we have 72 different amphil)ians in Canada and 24 different varieties of snakPB. Only four varieties of these emit poison and but two of them arc found in this Province, on Pelee Island and (Jeorgirii Bay district. • • • • An agitation is on foot to abolish the open dit<h nlongBido the high- ways replacing it, where need be, with a drain. This change woidd certainly help to reduce the great crop of auto caiualtlen. While the road monagers arc about it they should do something for the fool pnsstMiger, who, on much trovelled roads, has frequently to ri-tk his life dodging cars. It is a disgrace to be KO negligent of the foot way- farer. On some crowded highways, we frequently noe <»cho<d children belnir compelled to tnUo adjoining rail tracks, in order to save their little lives from menaro by the swift ve- hicles that possess the highway, "coming and going." • • • It is hiffhly probable that the Dur- hsm IMunicipiil Council will vote it- oclf remuneration at Its Fobruary meeting. The question was discussed at the recent meetinir of the Council Wld the conceniua of opinion was that each Ehou'ld be paid an allowance of $25, annual, the Mayor's honoriuni to bi! a little larger. The Review, in iliscU'-ising the matter, expresses the belief that better civic government could be secured if the Courvcil mem- bership wore reduced from eight to four, with a rcnsonublc recompense. The offering of even a small salary, c:ur contemporary argues, should i/rinsr out a larger field of good can- didates and do away with bogpring rateimyers to occupy a seat at the board, as has sometimes been the case in past .vcars. We take liyive to doubt if such would be the outcome of jinid councillorships. The likeli- hood, however, is that once a paid council, always a paid council, Advertise m The Advance THK LATE MRS, E. J. GRIER A corrc'S.nondent in Rcgina, Sask., has sent intelligence of the death of Mrs. E. J. Grier, well known to many in this locality, she having been for years a resident, first of Priceville and afterwards of Dundalk. Mr*. Giier went to Saskatchewan about 20 years ago and subsequently took up residence in Regina, where she died after several months' illness, in the General Hospital. She iz survived by one dar2:hter, Mrs. W. J. Boyd, Re- gina, and two sons, Dr. L. Grier, Unity, and Dr. R. Grier, Weyburn. One brother, J. D. Brown, Point au Baril, Muskoka, also survives. Mrs. Grier was predeceased by her husband, Nathaniel Grier, who lost his life by drowning in the lake, south of Ceylon, over 30 years ago.
