McDonald, editor of the Ches_- ley Enterprise, a former M.P.P., who knows very well what theptrials, trib- ulations and expenses of a member of the Legislattire amount to, does not mince words in condemning the re-. cent salary grab. . The Cabinet and other members of the Legislature are our- servants, not our masters, as the high-handed act of voting themselves more salary would indicate," he writ- es. `.`What would be thought of the hired helpon the farm or in any bus- iness holding upptheir employers and compelling them to pay more wages! That's what has been done by the gang of hold-ups -in the Parliament buildingsin Toronto." ., ' People in the West are very optim- istic on this season's outlook, For example, the Times of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, says`: Never in the history of this district has there appeared to be a better prospect of a bumper crop than this year. Last fall there was a good deal of moisture, and the early snowfall prevented the ground from freezing much, and the frost is now pretty well out of the soil; The abundant snow is melting fast and all the moisture is soaking. into ` the ground, making a splendid moist seed bed for the `grain in a few weeks. The season gives every prospect of being 'one of thebest the district has ever seen. The Orillia$,Packet in referring to V the rumor that the M.P.P. for East Simcoe was likelyto be appointed to the chairmanship of the Workmen s Compensation Board. says: There Vis.no question of ' Mr. Finlayson s qualications for the post; ' but it seems unlikely that he W uld abandon the political eld, in whi%fN1e has al-' ready established himself -as by all odds the outstanding member of the Legislature, outside of the Cabinet! us' DAVl!:'.'S PERFECTION Icl-A:~ CREAMV-- The Cream of Quality ' Sold by JAMES WRIGHT & SON, .

It is unfortunate that so much excellent matter has to appear at the same time as people do not have time to read, mark and inwardly digest the many valuable and interesting ideas pre- sented.

The payment of $2414. on the old wood account cleans up a matter whichhas been standing The general rate, theonly part over which the Council has control, has increased only a quarter-mill. ' Judging from the re- ports brought back by the deputation which interviewed the Minister of Highways, Government assistance to the extent of at least forty per cent. on the twenty-f_oot width will be forthcoming, which will be a big help in nancing the pavements. With careful management, there should ` not be a very heavy increase in tax- ation' because of the paving program. ' I |Dog~tag's . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . . .

The leader of tomorrow must be deep in interest and broad in cul- ture. The day. of bluff and bluster in public speech has gone forever. It is necessary, therefore, to read good books to get the best "thought of all the ages. `Surround yourselves with good -books; read them carefully and thoughtfully and mark them." Read Well on Some Subject . Discussing what to read,.Mr. Wren said he liked to furnish his mind as he would his home. He advised in- tensive reading on one subject in or- der to be an authority on it. I can t , tell you what to put on your book` shelf, he said, but take what is best in your particular calling and get the experience of those who made the greatest success in the same line. Your choice of reading will have much to do with your future. 35,000 books come from the presses every year. Some of them are good, most of them are bad,Vbut by the choice of the best you may have a university education even though you have not a -university degree. - I ' I ,1: _ nI_:;_L2 -1- ____..

Make Friends of Good Books I Mr. Wren advised Kiwanians to ,make friends of good books. Em- `merson, he said, laid down three good [rules with regard to reading. They are: Don t read a book till it is a year old; don't read it till it is fam- ous, andv"rdon t read it unless you like lit There are just three subjects on Iwhich books are written. They.are: `God, from which we get theological lworks; man, the source of books of [biography and history; the third is `combined in science, poetry and ldrama. an: _ . _ . . . ..
