So give us men who spurn not honest toil, Who firmly stand for right 'mid all turmoil. O make our homes abodes of peace and cheer Of joy and love for those we hold most dear.

Perhaps this is where G. Howard Ferguson got his idea of the township school boards. --Toronto Globe. The Globe is right as to the possibilities of the Town- ship School Board; but the real genius of the proposed Bill is that the local people shall solve their own difficulties in their own way. If they vote to do it by way of Consolidated Schools, they may do so; but there is no compulsion in the matter according to the Bill as it now stands. NOTICE TO CORN GROWERS in the Southern Part of Ontario County This division includes all lands lying south of the eleventh concession line of Reach Township, which runs through the Village of Greenbank. It also includes the whole Townships of Uxbridge and Scugog Island. The Corn Borer Act requires all persons growing corn to AT ONCE have all corn ground thoroughly ploughed and any stubble, stocks or remnants which are dragged or worked upon the surface must be gathered and burned or buried. The small garden plots are just as important in towns snd villages and shall be subject to prosecution if not attended to. The inspector is required to en- force the Act without fear or favor. Your co-operation in this matter will make prosecutions unnecessary. OSCAR H. DOWNEY, Myrtle, Corn Borer Inspector for Ontario County. | Appointed on the Research Board. he Mr. W.-A. Dryden has been appointed a member of the Re- search Board of Ontario. The appointment is a good one, and the need for research work in agriculture is very great. In almost every other line of production modern methods and discoveries are easing the burden of the producer; and in many cases the waste products of the business have provided handsome profits for the producer. There are many wastes on the farm that are worse than useless. The Scientific American says: "There are 25,000,000 dairy cows in America and they produce nl industry and, in a few notable instances, marked a ant e in ce|H LYMAN NICHOLS GETS APPOINT- MENT AS POSTMANSTER AT UXBRIDGE We understand that Mr. Lyman M..

Fifteen More Days Fishing EXTEND SEASON ON BASS AND MUSKALONGE Extension of the open season on bass, muskalonge and salmon trout in all Ontario, and the prohibition of all fishing from boats or other floating objects between July 1 and Oct. 16, in the counties of Victoria, Northumberland and Durham, and the waters of the Trent river, are some of the new Ontario fishing regulations which come into force with the next issue of the Canada Gazette. The 'regulation were passed by the fish and game committee at the last session of the Ontario legislature, and are now ratified by the federal de- partment. The bass and muskalonge open sea- son is made from July 1 to Oet. 15, instead of from July 1 to Sept 80, as it has been done heretofore. The salmon trout open season, in inland waters, is extended from Oet. 15 to Nov. 15, in Southern Ontario, and from Oct. 15 to Oct. 25, in New On- tario. This last regulation on salmon trout does not apply to fishing in the great lakes, upon which there is no closed season for this fish. mbm -- COUNTY COUNCIL TO BUILD BREAKWATER AT.
