The Chicopee Heights appeal strongly to many on account of elevation and transportation facilities. Another possible site mentioned is the farm at the rear of the Waterloo Township Hall. This is somewhat nearer the city, possesses the advantage of railâ€" way facilities, and it is understood, is well adapted to cemetery purâ€" poses. Daylight saving is not law in Canada, although it has been adopted by nearly all of the cities and towns in Canada owing to the railways of this country following the example of the railways across the line. The firm action of President Wilson is a decided contrast to the dillyâ€"dally methods of the parliament at Ottawa and some of the municipal councils of various cities in Ontario. A few days ago the Toronto Globe took occasion to pay its reâ€" spects to Hartley Dewart, Liberal leader, whom it frankly says is unacceptable to the temperance forces of Ontario, The Hon. N. W. Rowell, who resigned the Ontario Liberal leadership to join the Union Government of Sir Robert Borden, in a letter to his constiâ€" tuents, pays Mr. Dewart his compliments somewhat after the fashion of the Globe. But Mr. Rowell goes farther. He practiâ€" cally intimates his intention to remain with the Union Governâ€" ment, at least until the war is over and the work of reconstrucâ€" tion is well advanced, with the result that Mr, Rowell, also has run foul of the Globe whose policy he at one time as a director, asâ€" sisted in shaping.

Street railway strikes have taken place in many of the cities in Canad: and across the line to secure a readjustment of wages. The wage scale of the Kitchener and Waterloo Street Railway was adjusted by an amicable arrangement between the men and ‘the management of the railway without resorting to the strike method. â€" ‘ a Hon: N.
