For some time Cochrane has felt that the streets of the town are too wide for economy of maintenance. The width of the streets in Cochrane hnad been a matter of comment by many differâ€" Cochrane Seeking to Overcome Wide Streets ent people at different times. There has been equal comment, and seldom of a favourable kind, in regard to the condition generally of Cochrane‘s streets. The streets in the town were deliberately made wide with a view to minimizing the danger of fire. Cochâ€" rane has suffered much from the fire fiend and the wide streets were one of the many sacrifices made to oppose this particular fiend. Now, with the double object of cutting down the exâ€" pense of maintaining the roadway and providing place for the planting of trees, etc., to beautify the streets, sideâ€" walks on several of the main streets have been moved in about 12 feet on either side. The space between the former location of the sidewalks and their new position will be filled in and trees planted there At the same time the municipality will be relieved of the necessity of maintaining such broad streets between ‘the walks. Some of Cochrane‘s main streets have been as wide as 100 feet. The cost of upkeep of the roads has naturally been very heavy and the Cochrane town council has been very earnestly seeking ways and means to avoid a part of the exâ€" penditure going for roadwork. It may be noted that the planting of trees at Cochrane will very greatly enhance the appearance of the town. At present Cochrane gives the impression of being too scattered, and this new plan of planting trees, will greatly add to the attractive appearance of the town.

Money is not everythingâ€"in fact, if you look back over the outstanding names of history you will find a small proportion of them attached to persons of wealth, and not a few who were deâ€" cidedly poor. There are probably scores of men on this continent who could whip the daylights cut of Gene Tunney or Jack Dempsey, if they were willing to go in for that sort of thing; it is because there are comparatively few who want to be prizefighters that such large purses are put up to bring off a fight. 504 CALLS FOR UNITED AGTION IN THE MATTER OF WEEDS ‘ "United action is required so that no weeds be left uncut on roadsides, vaâ€" \ cant lands, railway tracks, schoolâ€"yards or waste places. Every patch of weeds ; that is left uncut is a menace to the | farmers and gardens in the neighbourâ€" ‘hood, an eyesore and a costly monuâ€" \ ment of neglect, signifying that some one has failed to do his duty to his 1 municipality and to his neighbours. Prof, Howitt Emphasizes the Necessity of Prompt and United Effort to Stop Menace of Weeds. Prof. J. E. Howitt, of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, has been kind enough to write the following special article for The® Advance on "Weeds." Last week The Advance made reference to dandelions on lawns in town and there are other weeds that are a nuisance and threaten to be worse. The towns should all be inâ€" terested in the matter and the farming districts have a very vital interest in the question. There is no doubt that much of the loss resulting from weeds may be eliminated, with the eliminaâ€" past vast quantities of weeds have been allowed to ripen seeds on roadâ€" sides, in schoolâ€"yards, on waste and vacant lands, along our lanes and headâ€" lands and in our fence corners and odd spots here and there on the farm. "The following are the number of seeds produced by single plants of average size in one season: Canada Thistle, 3,500; Curled or Yellow Dock, 17,000; Common Ragweed, 5,000; Chiâ€" cory, 3,000; Perennial Sow Thistle, 2,â€" 000; Wild Lettucs, 8,000; Stinkweed, 20â€" 000. Every wseed that is allowed to mature produces at least 1,000 seeds and most of them ripen several thousâ€" and seeds. In the past weeds by the millions have been allowed to mature in this province and scatter their bilâ€" lions of seeds far and wide. Is it any creaased in Ontario? "Are we going to tolerate this state of affairs any longer in Ontario? No. The farmers of the province have raised their voices in protest. An Act has been passed by the Legislature to enable them to meet the situation. United action is what is required now. Every municipality, every farmer, every land ownet in town or country must unite in the war against weeds and see that they are cut early and often enough to prevent them from seeding. When the weed inspectors send out notice that it is time to cut weeds let no one lag behind or neglect his duty. wonder that the weed menace has inâ€" ersased in Ontario? "Promptness is necessary to prevent all weeds from seeding. Many weeds, if cut after they have passed full bloom, will mature their seeds. In order, therefore, to secure the greatest reâ€" sults from the time and labour expendâ€" ed, everyone concerned should see that weeds are cut just as soon as possible after the inspector gives notice. One of the best Canadian prospectors entered last week and complained of ‘ the fact that no recording office was gestablished here. He required maps. | He was on his way somewhere between !Pickle-Crow and Shoniaâ€"Cat. He had |\ been in that area before, and found ‘interesting float and indications sugâ€" gesting the possibility of another greenstone belt. "Community pride and regard for the rights of others should serve as incenâ€" tives to prompt and united action on the part of all concerned. When such is secured the weed menace will be much decreased, our farms will be clearer and more profitable and our highways and byways will become atâ€" tractive beauty spots, indicating inâ€" dividual and municipal pride and prosâ€" perity." RECORDING OFFICE NEEDED NowW AT SIOUX LOOKOUT (From The Patricia Herald) Two years ago we wrote of the necesâ€" sity for a mining recorde.*‘s off!ice; in‘ Siâ€" oux Lookout. Again we have to do so, for we persist in believing that such an office is badly required here. _ Hardly a day passes without prosâ€" pectors or engineers dropping into the Patricia Herald seeking maps and other information concerning portions of country not under the protectorship of Kenora, Port Arthur, Goldpines or Tashota. Sioux Lookout bids fair to be the disâ€" tributing centre of perhaps the greatest gold belt in Canada. The town is steadily growing in importance. We cannot understand why it should not have a recorder‘s office. The Scotsman:â€"There has besn a remarkable boom in what are known as Gretna Green marriages.

PORCUPINE ADVANCE, Timmins Young Lady at Brantford Graduation Among the accompiisned graduates] of Brantford hospital this year was Miss Daisy E. Tilley, of Timmins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tilley, 70 Balsam street, south. Mr. and Mrs. Tilley went to Brantford to attend the graduation exercises of the hospital there on Saturday, June 8th. The Brantford Expositor last week devoted practically a whole page to the account of the graduation exercises Under ho heading, "Accomplished Graduates f Brantford MHospital," the paper rinuts photos of the nineteen young adies praduating, including Miss Daisy 2. Tilley, Timmins. In referring to ‘the event The Expositor says, in part:â€"â€" "With charming dignity on Saturday afternoon nineteen young women, graâ€" duates of the School of Nursing of the Brantford General hospital, pledged themsedves to practise faithfully the profession of a registered nurse. Held in the renovated assembly hall of the Collegiate Institute, where for many years scores of nurses have received the treasured diplomas, it was an event that drew hundreds of interested peoâ€" ple, with relatives of the members of the class much in evidence. Not only was the spacious auditorium filled, but the newly constructed gallery was also crowded, and even then many could not gain admission. An cutstanding feature was the address of Dr. George Hale, of London, a former Brantfordite. The collegiate hall was crowded when pins, diplomas and prizes were given to a highly sucecssful class. The anâ€" nual report of Miss McKee, superinâ€" tendent gave a comprehensive review of the school. Dr. T. H. Biers delivered the greetings from the medical staff. The platform was banked with palms, ferns, iris and lilacs in large baskets, flaunting vivid bows of tulle in harâ€" monizing shades and centred with a begonia covered with a multitude of blooms. All stood while O Canada was sung, and the chairman, F. D. Reville, president of the governing board, then called upon Rev. J. F. Reycraft, who delivered an impressive invocation. The chairman read a letter from Hon. FPorbes Godfrey, Ontario Minister of Health, expressing sincere regret that, Outstandingâ€"by any measure of VALUE Grahamâ€"Paige motor cars have won recogâ€" nition for fine appearance and dependability.

We havelearned, through long and practiâ€" owing to a previous engagement, he and Mrs. Godfrey would be unable to participate in the event. Ansther epistle from Dr. Malcolm T. MacEachâ€" ern, director of hospital activities of the "American College of Surgeons" voiced sincere congratulations to the board of governors and superintendent upon "Your most excellent institution and school of nursing." The doctor concluded his epistle as follows: "I feel sure the young women graduating at this time will be ever mindful of the privilege accorded them in acquiring their training under such splendid conâ€" ditions. They can leave your instituâ€" tion with everlasting pride in their alma mater." The chairman explainâ€" ed that the term "American College of Surgeons" was not used in an invidiâ€" ous sense, but as representative of both the United States and Canada and Dr. MacEachern was himself a naâ€" tive of the Dominion. After Miss E. M. McKee, superintendent of the hospital, the graduates solemnly repeated the Florence Nightingale obligation: "I solemnly pledge myself, before God and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practise my profession faithfully. I will al{stain from whatever is deleterious and misâ€" chievous and will not take or knowingâ€" ly administer any harmful arug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profesâ€" sion and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my care." The graduates were as follows: Florence E. Barry, Brantford, Ont.; Thelma E. Boyd, Hamilton; Marion E. Cuff, Brantford Ont; Ethel M. Davies, Brantford., Ont.; Hilda S. Greensides, Brantford, Ont.; S. Louise Hislop, Stratford, Ont.; Velma C.
