exhibition now being held in wembley england and we quote the following extract from the guardian of mancnesterengland canadas wembley one of the most interesting or the industrial stalls in the canadian building at wembley is that arranged by the canadian national exhibition as part of the propaganda for that great trade fair it is difficult to make it fully realized in this coun try that the toronto exhibition is actually the largest annual gather ing of its kind in the world but the visitors to wembley who learn that it occupies practically the same acreage as the british empire ex hibition and that it has over 80 per manent buildings in its grounds wiil realize easily its scope and im portance from the excellent photo graphs which are a feature of the stall the photographs are shown in two large albums by an electrical device which automatically turns over the leaves every few seconds a goodly number ot canadians from the eastern part of canada bring their friends to the stand and by the aid of the pictures endeavor to tell them all they can of the toronto exhibition the largest attendance at the wembley exhibition was j39550 on empire day so cana dians may proudly point to their re cord of 23000 maikaaiu township council meet ing for june presented some very interesting situations about four oclock in the afternoon councillor clarry- suddenly demanded the resignation of clerk arthur davison of uniouville and the clerks prompt compliance caused still more em barrassment the proceedings leading up to this point were staged by mr ciarry who repeatedly complained about mr davison making- an omission in j the financial statement of an item of i 11000 being a loan from the bank j mr davison admitted that a mistake had been made and said that it was unintentional and he was sorryj mr clarry then said he was not satisfied with e clerk and treasurers method of bookkeeping and mr davison asked do you ivarit me to resign air clarry said yes and mr davison promptly wrote out bis resignation and after thanking the other members of the council for the courtesy and consideration they had always shown him left the room the council met at one oclock all the members being present communications were read from a g gormley complaining of a large barberry hedge on the farm north adjoining on lot 14 con 6 that he had requested the owner last year to destroy the same and he had not done so mr davison the present owner of the farm said that he did not pretend to know whether the presence of a barberry hedge was conducive to rust or not but he did know that last year he had grown as heavy e crop of oats in the field near the hedge as there was in the township and there was no rust he valued the hedge for its beauty nathaniel baker of richmond hil wrote that he had damaged his car through bad roads to the extent of 2975 for repairs which if not paid in tendays he would turn into other hands to collect he also understood that 5 carloads of gravel ere bought andpaid for to go on th 2nd con by mr padgetand he was going to see that it was put on the road the reeve spoke of the excellent services the clerk was giving and pointed out that the mistake in the financial statement was such as any human was liable to make he also emphasized that the auditors report showed the books to be well and pro perly kept and asked mr clarry to move a resolution which he pre pared mr clarry refused mr stiver moved seconded by mr smith that the members of this council sincerely regret the tendered resignation of our clerk and treas urer and

great deal of the material now being put on the roads was absolutely worth less a yard of rubish cost 25 cenls and a yard ot clean crushed stone or gravel cost 100 just 75 cents a yard difference in the cost of putting on worthless stuff or first class material mr smith seconded by mr camp- l moved that the council employ -fsaan- crusher to crush gravel for roads in the township not to exceed 2000 yards lost the reevo objected to the expense this year as did mr clarry and mr 0b30i o x0e30e ios30e aoaoi 30z good night when a doctor makes a mistake he buries it when a plumber makes a mistake

becomes the law of the land when a preacher makes a mis take nobody knows the difference but when an editor makes a mis take good nfghm montreal gaz ette a crusher but- not hiring the crush- log done this year councillor camp bell after consideration thought perhaps by dragging the roads often and selecting the gravel in the pit we could keep the roads in fair repair this year and mr smith ended
