The cost of handling has been greatly reduc- ed and they can deliver grain to the |European millers at a selling cost of a fraction of a cent a~bushel. There will be less danger of con- gestion at the local elevators than now, Mr. Drury thought, because with a stabilized price it won t mat- -ter when a man markets his wheat. The pool will result in a better aver- age price `for wheat and will make for economy and efficiency in mark- eting.

Appointment of the key men in the townships was left to the cap- tains. _ Following the" business of the meeting a number of questions were put to Mr. Drury. Asked how the wheat pool would affect the sale of seed wheat, Mr. Drury stated that the pool is only to deal with com- mercial wheat.

In addition there was an attendance of 880 at the vuac auu uuuuuw everyone, Mr. Hammond stated that in look- ing over V.0.N. repor't's`from other towns he found that Barrie gives the cheapest service and gets a small grant from the town. `He pointed out that in Smiths Falls, a smaller town than Barrie, the `Council gives the- Order a grant of $850. Other sourc- es of income for the local branch last year were nursing fees $148, Metro- olitan Life $800, rummage sale 190, bridge $180; town grant $800. They finished the year with a-sur- plus of $71, which is now eaten up, and although rigid economy has `been , ractised the situation "is serious. any expenditureshad been dispens- ' ed within an e_ffort'fo economize, ` but a newcar would have to -be pro- ' cured this year as the old one, which 1 has served several years, is`done. In conclusion Mr. Hammond asked that I the grant be increased to $600,-or at thevery least $5'00,and stated that the `returns to the. town would be more than the grant. ` (1.-All RIIAIIIVI llhlii and-ad-AA m&w$w$&&w&&&ww3 ; COMING EVENTS .8c per word; minimum 60c` .C. .w. .9. .C. .t_ .w. .-_ .1. .a! _-, _u-, -. - - ._ oooo gnu. nun yvcu. uuu Luau your yielded only $456.

At an uneventful meeting of the` Town Council on Monda. -night a by-law, was passed to aut orize the execution of the agreement between the town and Clarke 8: Clarke Com- pany" Limited respecting the pur- , chase, of Athe old carriage factory. The '-agreement `was, with two excep- tions, the same as that drafted by the town solicitor on the occasion` of the Messrs. Clarke's first meeting with . Council. The clause referring to purchase by the company of water, ight and power from the -local com- mission at current rates was omitted. Ald. Tyrer and Moran asked for an ` ex lanation of the omission and were to do by Deputy-reeve McCuaig that as the company was not getting any concession there._was no necessity of including the `clause and also that Clarke & Clarke felt that if it were left in they might perhaps sometime be `considered bound to obtain water and light from the town and it would debar them fromiopening an artesian well of their own. , In the former agreement a clause provided for.pa'y-- ment by the com any of $1000 if the title `were satis actory. Th re has been a little trouble about t e plan number and that clause has been changed to provide that the title should be cleared up before the final payment is made. Asked Grant for A deputation from the Victorian Order of Nurses appeared before` Council in support of their `request. for an increased grant. The deputa- tion was introduced by the president, M. D. Morrison. Frank Hammond, Treasurer of the branch, stated"that last year it cost them practically $1928 to finance the V.0.N. During the year the nurse made almost 3700 visits, which averaged up at about 50 cents a visit. ' This, said Mr. e Hammond, is about the cheapest ser-{ vice that could be `got. He pointedif, out that many cases attended by the d, nurse would otherwise have to go to h, the hospital and would cost the town 3] a great deal more than the nurse c, does.

That is now largely a thing of the past and editors realize that their criticisms must be constructive, that if they destroy they must also_ build up. It is not population that makes a town, but public spirit, civic pride and a tolerant disposition. `I A 'Il --T ____., -A-- I` " -.-_.. .. -'_v--v-cw u-wrvwovnvalo J. A. MacLaren was the chairman for the day and the booster was T. R. Coulter. His attendance prize, a fountain pen, was taken home by W. O. McKinnon. a Mr. Van Blaricom warned his au- dience if any of them should ever `think himself` misrepresented in a 'newspaper, not to go off at half cock and beat up the-editor. His ' future would not be ruined. When a paper is fresh it is full of interest and life, but when it has been read it is cast aside, and there is nothing so dead as last week s paper. - To a newspaperman life is always chang- ing, so he seeks to misrepresent no one. | `l'..

These men, he said, think b they can run affairs better than the people who are in office, but if they are asked to turn in and do some- thing they are a minus quantity. Every newspap_er gets, a lot of vol- untary contributions signed Pro Bono Publico, etc., written generally by people who have a grudge against someone `and, hiding behind a nom de plume, expect the editor to as- sume the responsibility. This evil has been `cured to a .large extent and is not so prevalent now as it was a few years ago. a Few, if any, editors use their papers to `gratify a person- al grudge. ' "\I J J 1 Ifl A-LD. .WM.
