There is not a single instance of a test ever hav- ing revealed the slightest trace of bacteria and of course, it has never been found necessary to doctor the water. Scarcelya day passes but what a tourist, having taken a drink from the fountain at the Post Office Square, comments. most favorably on the unusually fine flavor and texture;0f the water. The other day a visitor, travelling in what the called a l0comohotel? , a combination touring, sleeping and cooking van, after partakingof a draught of Barrie s water, proceeded to fill the 20-gallon tank in his car before proceeding north. This man has travelled Utah, Nevada and Colorado in the same conveyance, and therefore knows and ap- preciates good water.-He went back to the fountain no less than four times while he was, here and an old-time citizen nearby took occa- sion to explain all about it while the Opportun- ity presented itself. This citizen was well posted' on his subject and concluded his oration with ``It is the greatest water in the world. This may appear to be laying it on a bit thick, but not so when talking to an Americantourist. In any event, Barrie s water supply is, after all, just about the best in the world. It would be imrmssihle to find anv better. An expert has figured. it out that ittakes an auto, tnavelling forty miles. an hour, one-eighth of a second to take to the ditch.

One of the encouraging signs of the times is the better re- lations between capital and labor which have been developed during the past few years. These"tw o great forces in our national life `are coming more and more to realize that the in- te rests of both are `better promoted through cooperation than through antagonism. l One-eyed autos are still very numerous on the highways. One cannot- drive twenty miles in heavy traffic without meeting a dozen or more. And this despite all the warnings and? threatsof the authorities. Next to the drunken` driver and the speed fiend, they constitute the greatest menace to public safety on the roads today. Perhaps a field day in police_court would bring offenders to their -senses. A warning to some people is akin to water on a duck s back. Perhaps a little team play would overcome many of the differences which appear to exist- between the Civic Board "of Works and the Water and Light Commission over the use of hydrants. The Commissionyhas charge. of. the waterworks-system and if its hydrants are to he used its officialsshould know in ample time to be in a position to supervise such use. The important issue of fire protection must be considered. particularly in the promiscuous use of water through hydrants.

Robes Lend Dignity to Office Collingwood ;Bulletin-`The lBeaverton Express is out against the decoration of the county warden with gown and mortar `board. According to it such display is useless and costs a lot of the ratepayers money. True, it does require the expen-dliture of a few dollars, but it lends dignity to the office-in many cases so sadly needed.

T TICK` Pay of Rural mu: you I Simcoe _Reformer--At the present time the re- . muneration of the average rural mail carrier is de- plorably insufficient and, innot a few instances. searching investigation has-revealed that the carrier is not only giving the Government _fre_e_use of his time and undertaking theresponsibilities of ser- * vice, but he is paying the Government several hun- dreds of dollars annually for the privilege Of deli? ering mail along` his rural route. Careful analysis has proved the average income of Canadian rural mail carriers to be $732.00 while the average ex- penditur is $1058.00, or an average net loss to each carr r of $325.00. This is in striking contrast ` to the salaries of $1400 to $1600 paid to city mail . carriers and: $2400 to $2800 to railway mail clerks. ` The city carrier. with free uniform and equipment, is exempt from any burdensome maintenance charg- es while from the rural carrier s miserable_ pittance must be deducted the cost of upkeep of horses and vehicles whichhas increased by leaps and bounds during the past few years. In the United States, rural mail carriers are paid on the basis of $75.00 per mile per year. with free uniform and equipment and two weeks holidays in addition to the statutory holidays. The Canadian carriers are asking only `$70.00 per` mile and the statutory holidays. It seems impossible that with an effective Dominion- wide or_ganization`at their command, the Govern- ment will be able to sidletra-ck them much longer. Wheat Price Prospects Toronto G1obe--An initial payment of 85 cents per bushel on Western wheat of first quality is an- nounced bythe Canadaian pools. This compares with $1 during the past four years and 75 cents in 1923. The drop will be a disappointment. hut it is con- sistent with market prices, which have fallen some 25 cents in the `past two months. The initial pay- ment. as the pool managers say. is always based on market conditions in the autumn. -._-L __-._ LL- ...-L-...-.u-c-L IIIZIIIXED UUIILIILIUXLB Ill bllc auuuuuu " Fortunately for pool members, the subsequentl dividends are based on the average paid for the grade sold over the entire season, hence there is no failure to realize the` full sum warranted by the _\'ear s market. Though the grain trade may carp at the decision, the nal receipts will be fairly estim- ated for pool members. whereas non-m-embers must be content with what the market dictates at time of sale. whether the sum be high or low.
