This year civic elections have already been held in many cities and towns, including Hamilton, Ottawa, Brantford and St. Ca.that'ineis, the vote in some municipalities being unusually heavy. On the occasion of the municipal election in Waterloo a year ago Mayor Henderson ex- pressed himself in favor of having it held early - . in December instead of on January lst. The vote east at that time showed that of nearly 3,000 entitled to vote including 1,200 women only slightly over one-third cast their ballots. {Hi 7‘-.wa -'"'.-' _ M0rM8tlq _ iriiGd".a-uelttt'.i.ret'y1.tH?h"h",121'll'1' ‘- . s'"'"""'"'",',',",',.'.', iii'irrultkauitt-Mrtqioe"t?luc,uL.

Sir Adam Beck, in a recent public address, declared that he was considering, retiring from public life and devoting his remaining years to his own business and providing something for his old age. He said that he sometimes felt that the end of 25 years of public service would be an opportune time to retire, practically all of this perm Having been associated-with-the Hydro.

Especially of late years has there been a disposition to be critical of the undertaking. The Hydro has un- dergone close scrutiny but it has been found that this great enterprise has been carried on with a degree of efficiency that is surprising considering the extent oLthe undertaking. It will be generally ackowledged, we believe, that it has contributed a service of great value to the communities which it serves and at a cost that has meant very substantial savings in re-l, duced power and light bills. True, the hydro has not been altogether free from faults but these have been of a comparatively minor character and have not interfered with the general efficiency of the enterprise. It is not surprising that Sir Adam Beck, after a quarter of a century of unceasing labor in behalf of the Hydro, should desire a respite. No doubt the growing disposition to subject the Hydro to repeated investigations has made him become somewhat weary of the comm-um Ono you. In -.......--l made him become somewhat weary of the struggle but important problems in connection with the further augmenting of the supply of electrical energy to meet the nging needs of the Province press for solution and there is no one who so well combines the necessary quali- ties to successfully cope with the situation as does Sir Adam Beck. It is but natural, in view of the splendid success which has attended the great Hydro enterprise, that the sup porters and friends of Hydro should wish him to continue the work he has so well carried on. It is sincerely to be hoped that his services which have been of such special value to the great enterprise with which his name has been so closely connected for over a score of years, will continue to be available in behalf of this important public enterprise.

Nevertheless, although brought up in more settled parts of the pro- ‘vince, young men of the right calibre would not be averse to doing their share in developing the country if the opportunities are sufficiently encouraging. It is true that fanning during the past years has not been very remunerative but the tide now seems to have turned and with better prices prevailing the condition of the agriculturist will naturally continue to im- prove. Such is the extent of our unoccupied lands in Canada that the right kind of settlers from other countries can also be placed without working a hardship to Canadian young men brought up on farms here who desire to follow" the pursuit of agriculture. Like opportunities to both should, we believe, be made available ;by the Government in any provision for the settlement of land and every encouragement should be given those who wish to take up farming as this is the basic industry of the country and of vital importance to the nation. 1t nas been evident for some time that the Maritime Provinces have felt that their inter- ests are not being considered to the extent that they merited in connection with the' porteiefin-, augurated by the Government and by the Canadian National Railways for the develop- ment of Canada.

Ile does not believe that they have reached a condition where no further progress can be expected. In referring to the attitude of the management of the Canadian National Railways to the Maritimes, he said: "l have suggested before, and 1 repeat it again, that it is my opinion that, if the Mari- time Provinces would get together and form at small committee of business men to confer with me on problems which affect us, it would be to our immediate mutual advantage.

SCHOOL GIRL§HOW8 RESENTMENT BY PUTTING _ PARIS GREEN IN LUNCH OF SCHOOLMATE That not jealously. but resent-l ment because she was shunned by her schoolmates, was the motive which impelled Mildred Potter, Ib year-old Zorra schoolgirl. to put paris green in the lunch ot another girl at the same school, was the statement made by Mrs. Hart. mother of the girl who narrowly es- caped poisoning, and Mia's Ciarn‘ Dnmias, teacher ot the school in which the incident occurred.

Paterson concurred In this interview, and ordered that the result ot the investigation be brought before him on Friday.

On account of this and‘ tor other reasons, the school teacherl snags. the girl was shunned by the other srholurs. who, with one er ception, would not associate with her. This evidently had its elect on the girl's mind. as a few days ago. according to Ming Dundee, she told another tl"] that she intended to take some paris green herself.
