"Municipalities â€" which â€" defaulted have been given the edge by the government," Mayor Smith declared. "While Windsor and the adjacent towns have been relieved of all reâ€" lief coste, except hospitalization, muâ€" nicipalities like Leamington, Kingsâ€" ville and Amherstburg have been reâ€" quired to bear oneâ€"third of the cost. Defaulting seems to be good business and the border towns are playing the game to the limit." This declaration of Mayor Smith will give the Hepâ€" burn government gomething to think about ,and may result in curbing Windsor‘s ambition to get everyâ€" thing from the government, even a new city hall. New Court House May Be Erected $7,156 TOTAL â€" POWER BILL In reply to a query as to whether the County Council will consider the question of the possible erecation of a new court house in Kitchener in the near future, Warden Hallman stated that at the present time he was unaware of such a project and that so far the matter has not been considered or brought up. As far as the building being undertaken as a relief measure, Mr, Hallman was nonâ€"committal, Chairman Henderson of Watâ€" erloo Public Utilities Explains Facts Satisfactorily. In special secsion on Priday, the Witerloo _ Publicâ€" Utilities Commisâ€" sion anthorized the payment of the Lith power bill for Waterloo, the amount being $7,156.:86. This amount was reduced from the original bill for $14,000 by the efforts of Chairâ€" man Henderson, who «ecured an inâ€" terview with Hydro officials. The bill also revealed the fact that the sum of $10,300 had been withâ€" drawn from the reserves as Waterâ€" loo‘s share of the aggregate deficit. In the 10th power bill the commisâ€" slon was also informed that the sum of $2,700 had been takén from the reserves despite the fact that Waterloo had a credit to her account. Chairman Henderson explained the wbove facts by «aying that the Hydro Commission in the year 1928 asked cach municipality for an estimate of the horsepower it would use. Ac: cordingly â€" Waterloo had asked for 2,.500 horsepower but in 1933 she had used only 3.165. In ,the meantime the Hydro Commssion had let conâ€" tracts for the required power and had to pay for it. The net total un: used power from all municipalities was therefore paid out of the comâ€" mon â€" reserve, . which â€" reserve. now amounts to about $9,106,000. In passing the bill the other Utiliâ€" tics Commissioners expressed their thanks to Mr. ‘Henderson for the efâ€" forts he had put forth in having the hill reduced. . The chairman also cpointed out â€" that theâ€" commiseion would have an additional charge for the deise} engine at the plant which was ruu for the peak loads between November and April of 1933 and ‘34. This would be somewhat less than a thousand dollars, he thought. The deisel engine has been reâ€" moved to the Waterworks plant and the «um of $3,000 spent in its instal lation there. The sum of $45,000 was then shifted from the books of the Waterworks plant to those of the electrical department. Considerable _ interest centered wround the question of how Mr. Henâ€" derson had been able to have the Hydro Bill reduced by such a large amount. In reply the chairman statâ€" ed that, the local commisaion had not been informed last year that it could not nse the deisel engine on peak lo@gds and so the Hydro Board agreed that the amount of $5,314 be taken from the bill, and further, that since the Hydro and local charta on the horsepower did not tally, the ones of Manager Grosz were finally accepted with a further saving of $1,725.30, Q The Amhersthurg Echo ha« !ori .0me time been conducting an agâ€" ]ul'l'&miv:- educational, campaign | for |bacon type hogs, publishing articles by men who know what they are talkâ€" ling ahout, both as regarde quality and marketing methode.

CUTS COST OF In a recent issue of the "Farmer‘s Advocate" there appeared an ediâ€" torial, concurrent with a letter from A. R. G. Smith, New Hamburg, Disâ€" trict weed inspector, which is of inâ€" terest to our readers. Mr. Smith who has experience in the administration of the Weed Control Act in Western Ontario points out in his detter that roadside weeds are the great probâ€" lem of the municipal weed inspecâ€" tors as they have no Authority to inâ€" cur expense on roadsides as they can on private property and charge the expense to the owner. Mr. Smith has studied the eystems in many townships and has selected the Wilmot township system as the most practical system to imitate as it has been successfully operated since 1915 when Samuel Cassel, now County Clerk and Treasurer was the Reeve of Wilmot and the late Fred Holwell, Township Clerk. The greatest argument in favor or roadside pasturing to reduce the cost of weed cutting is that 700 children between the ages of 7 and 14 attend the schools of Wilmot and walk to school on well trimmed roadsides. The attendance record of Wilmot township ranks very high in the proâ€" vincial records. Insufficient attention has been paid to the condition of the township roads over which 250,000 rural echool children have to walk to rural achools. Think of little girls, 7 years old, with their neat, clean dresses having to attend perhaps 1% miles from their homes with long dusty grasses or weeds on the roadsides. ‘ 45,000 Miles Township Roads | The editor of the "Farmer‘s Advoâ€" cate" comments thus: "It is interestâ€" ‘in.: to note that Ontario has someâ€" where â€"between â€"40,000 and â€" 45,000 miles of township roads. The road alâ€" lowance ic usually 66 feet in width and this vast acreage of land, One }(‘z\n truthfully say is used almost exâ€" clusively for transportation purposes. On thousands of miles the traffic is !v(-r_v light, and experiences in Wilâ€" mot township indicate that much of this wasted acreage can be utilized to a good purpose and some revenue, at the same time brought into the public treasury. 120,000 Acres For Grazing "Figuring 25 feet out of the 66 feet of road allowance ity auitable for grazing land, there woald be 3 acres to the mile of tolerably good pasture. On the same basis of calculation 40,â€" C00 miles of township roads would yield 120,000 acres of land that might as well be grazed, but is now idle und incurring weed cutting costs. Weed Cutting Costs Reduced "It has been shown that the costs ‘nl cutting weeds is much reduced \ when the roadsides are grazed, and generally speaking the appearance of the right of way is greatly imâ€" | proved. _ "Roadsides have been grazed more in Ontario thig year than during any season for a long time. In some places it has been done openly, in other cases. curreptitiously, but . it has. on the whole been done so exâ€" tensively that the economy of the practice has been proved beyond A doubt. Rates for Grazing in Wilmot Tp. The schedule of rates for the cattle pasturing on township roads is as followe : Ist and 2nd, $2.00 each; 3rd, $2.50; ith, $2.00; 5th, $2.50; 6th, $4.00; 7th, Ist and 2nd, $2.00 each; 3rd, $2.50; ith, $3.00; Sth, $3.50; 6th, $4.00; 7th, $4.50; Sth and above $5.00, Farmer Assumes Responsibility Each animal has a tag, is unherdâ€" ed and is to be off the road at 8 w‘clock. The township has 120 miles of township roaud and 50 milea of County road on which there are at present 400 cattle or approximately 2% cattle per mile. The owner signe a }nflu-r before a witneas assuming all responsibility in cage of damage done by his animal. _ The average annual income for cows pasturing over period of 19 yeare from 195 to 1983 is $1,152.00 with a government grant for weed entting of 409. or $220.00 making a total income of $1,372.00. The total expense for weed cutting is $550.00. bacon quota under the Ottawa pacts, but than can never be fully taken advantage of until Canadian hacon, without exception meaeures up to that quality, Mr. Rothwell points out that baâ€" con grading is now effective in all exporting plants of the Dominion.. that the Danish pigâ€"testing plan is effective in four provinces, that rail grading is being tested, and that a trial shipment of the Danish Landâ€" race pig is now in quarantine in Queâ€" bec, together with «ome of the Sweâ€" dish jlarge whites. Rail grading, it will be recalled, was one of the thinga enggested to the agricultural committee of the Federal Parliament, which studies the Natural Products Marketing Bill. Canada is the only exporting country that grades hogs alive, and Mr. Rothwell holde with many other experte, that rail grad: ing le the only kind that should be practiced. CUTTING WEEDS South Waterigo Member, N. O. Hipel, Believes Real Saving Favors Council of 25 Business Men To Run Province At a complimentary lunch on Friâ€" day given by the Galt Kiwanis Club, Mr..Norman «Q. Hipel stated that he would like to see provincial business carried on similar to county council administration, with a dozenâ€"or 25 good business men to run the proâ€" vince, forgetting all about political patronage. If that had been done in the past, he felt, Ontario‘s debt would not be what it is today, _ Today one dollar out of every three of provincial income was epent on interest chearges, he said.

Dollfuss Deserved To Be Shot, Says Rev. Lautenschlager Addresses 400 People on Challenge of China to the Western World." Over 400 persons gathered at the market building at Kitchener on Saturday to hear Rev. Stanton Lautenschlager, missionary on furâ€" lough from China, in an address on "The Challenge of China to the Western World." "The world will some day pay," said Rev. Lautenschlager, for its countenancing of the seizure of Manchuria by Japan. With many anecdotes the missionary illustrated the force of his arguments and askâ€" ed rhetorically "Why we, the westâ€" ern world, should lend a willing hand to China: what will be the result ultimately of the economic state of the country which has at present oneâ€"quarter of the populaâ€" tion of the world: What are the contributory _ affecting _ conditions throughout the world toâ€"day: what are the wages and living conditions in China at the present time? | iT e it o fl’lnl.

Some day the world will pay for allowing Japan to take North China. _ Why did the capitalistic powers do this? In my opinion they wanted a buffer state between Comâ€" munistic Russia and Communistic South China. But the results were divectly .opposite. If Britain and the United States had stood, together, China would toâ€"day be able to look to us with hope." "Further," continued Mr. Lautenâ€" schlager, "I do not believe in the violence of Communism or Fascism but I do believe that Dollfuss got what was coming to him. Not that [ believe in that way of doing things but a method which I shall always believe is returned in kind. He mowed down the Socialists with machine guns, destroyed their comâ€" fortable homes, and ‘they that live by the sword shall perish by the sword Sixty tenants escaped from a menacing fire which broke out in one of Toronto‘s residential sections on â€" Saturday. _ Firemen, who _ reâ€" sponded quickly to the alarm given by several men, assisted the scantily clad inmates to escape. The fire is vaid to have started near the unâ€" occupied attic and quickly swept the building. When Mrs. Marie O‘Grady, whose husband had brought her to safety earlier, attempted to return into the house to obtain some valuables, two graduates of Ridley College, Phil.

They will march, he said, without any preâ€" liminary exchanges if the Fascist Government in Austria seems in danger. â€" c Thousands of Soldiers Killed in Fighting Between Nazi and Government Troops. Reports that Italian troops were already crossing the border aroused Belgrade late in the day.

From â€" London, Ontario, comes & wtory that is a bit unusual, and thereâ€" fore has its interesting points, says the Fergus Newsâ€"Record. A Mid: dlesex farmer was up in court on & charge of common aséault. It seema that he had tried to kiss a neighbor‘s wife while she was picking berries in the berryâ€"patch. He admitted that he had placed his hand on her arm and asked her for a kise. but denied that he had tried to take one by mote strenuous methods, and apparently there was no claim that he had. He was fined ten dollars and costs. Kisses $1.00 and Up Prove Costly to Farmer Now, that part of the story is orâ€" dinary enough. But in his evidence the defendant showed his ignorance of some things. He said that he had been offered a chance to settle out of court for $50, which he thought was much too high. His fine of $10 and costs proved that the magistrate was of a similar mind. But even at that, the man was not satisfied. He produced a clipping from his pocket, telling of a man at Peterborough who had kissed another man‘s wife, and had escaped with a fine of one dollar and gcosts. He thought he should be @llowed to «ettle for the same amount. The Middlesex farmer showed a woeful ignorance of some things. Apâ€" pavrently he isn‘t married and hasn‘t been around much. If he had been married heâ€" would_ probably have claimed that he had auffered plenty at home since the case. was made public, and that the magistrate should take this into consideration. ‘He didn‘t do that . Instead, he proâ€" uced a _ newepaper clipping. and claimed that one kiss was as g0od as another, and that none of them were worth more than a dollar, even when â€" they came _ from another‘s man‘s wife. Poor fellow; it‘s time he got Out in public and found out a few things for himself. Providing he‘s not marâ€" ried. If he‘s not too homely, and has the odd dollar to «pare and partiou larly if he has a car and goes to dances, he will soon find out a few thingsâ€"one of them being that he doesn‘t have to hunt the neighbor‘s wives in the berry patches to find out the value of 2 kise.
