"Have you heard the latest jazz song entitled: I never wronged an onion, So why should it make me cry?. We read where some authority claims that a grape-fruit is just a lemon which grasped the opportunity to expand. Hon, Rodolphe Lemieux was a dis- tinguished visitor to the Ontario Leg- islature recently, and in addressing that body, said that it was a great thing to bexa British subject. They had one king, one flag and one system of government. -- Ee 38a pity that all citizens of Que- bec are not as broadminded as Mr. Lemieux, but unfortunately many of them act in a manner which suggests that they do not freely concur on Mr. Lemieux's opinion. The farm owned by the unfortunate Phipps' family, who were lost on March First, while returning in their "Ford sedan from Peelee Island to Leamington, was sold recently along with the stock and implements. This | Was a government farm and interest and principal were paid up-to-date. We had the opportunity of visiting the home of the late unfortunates and it was a sad sight to see. Eatables were left ready for the evening meal, the children's bed-covers turned down and their nighties laid out ready for them, and everything else left in readiness for the return of the fam- Hy. It is just possible that they may never be located. The approach of the fishing season recalls to our mind the Jew who went fishing and the first fish he eaught was a three pound bass. Ikey didn't like the idea of throwing the fish back but being closed season and seeing the game-warden approaching, he tied a string around the neck of the fish and let it swim around in the water. The warden asked him how his luck was and-he replied: "By my woid Meester Vorden she is not any good." The Warden seeing the line moving about started to haul it in and when he pulled in the bass he said: Ha, ha, catching bass out of season. "No, no! said Ikéy, "I not vant I should catch heem," but that bass he already steal six baits so I just tie him up while.I catch some more feesh." And that's that.

I would like to ask him what he expects. Surely a city must collect taxes to pay running expenses which I must admit are heavy, without going to the bank to borrow and pay interest there- on. You ought to be thankful that you have.a crust of bread left after the action of the council this year. Cheer up, old horse, the grass is growing and will likely be growing on. the pavements in Stratford soon, T notice a number of American cap- italists were entertained by the council on or about April Ist, possibly with a view of building steamships to ply between the island and the main- land on Lake Victoria. You are evi- dently not very well informed about municipal affairs. Please let me en- lighten you on a few subjects. After the election when the two by-laws were defeated, you probably went home rejoicing as did many others never suspecting the parties selected to look after your interests and the interest of the city and to respect your wishes to immediately turn around and set you at defiance, treating you with contempt by ap- plying to the legislature to submit an- | other by-law for the gas works cost- ing you fifteen hundred dollars waste of money after being defeated, nearly two to one; also. selling a nineteen 'thousand dollar mortgage and claim for ten thousand, five hundred dollars without ever advertising it. Giving grants to other parties creating. an- other vacancy for a relief officer in the person of Mr. Bernie Waugh, with no doubt a substantial salary and an overcoat with the name _ in emblazoned letters of gold. "Relief Officer,' on the collar. The council evidently considered they were en- titled to some recompense for their inestimable services, so they purchas- ed for themselves club bags, valued at $18 to carry their candy grab bags. I would advise this literary tax-payer to stop grumbling until he can get his hand out the lion's mouth, as the council does not approve of it. Just grin and bear it. you will soon' be dead.
