It would be`tl:nest thing in the world if we could extend and increase the love of owers in every child and individual in this country -they would live longer and `live better, said the Hon. J. S. Martin in an address to a orists conven- tion in Toronto last week.

Two CROATIAN TAMBURICA ORCHESTRA SPLENDID ATTRACTIONS Fourth [Night ' How does Vespra Township get 1ed;away' with atax rate; of eighteen nts`mills?" asked a subscriber the other Ifriday.` It doesn't. The eighteen mills Ben ` is only the general taxation over.the- of whole township; in- addition. to this ed. there is the local school _rate and in a`number of sections a building` levy. Bre.These local school `rates in Vespra my run from 3 to 8 mills, but will aver- on_ age in the neighborhood of 7 mills. ax This added to the 18 mills would 531 bring the total average taxation up mg! to 25 mills. I One of the main issues in the New Brunswick election, `which resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the Liberal. Government, seems to have been the Government's public own- ership programme, for hydro devel- opment at a'_cost of ten million dol- lars. The people apparently are'not in favor of public ownership or con- sidered the expenditure too great. Rates for electricity in New `Bruns- wick are very high. When in Fred- ericton two years ago, the writer was told that it cost about $15 a month to operate an electric` range. A comparison of their rates with those in force in this province should [convince the New Brunswickers of `the advantages of_ public ownership. Conditions in New Brunswick are not as favorable for hydro-`electrics development as in Ontario, yet there `is a wonderful opportunity to de- velop ample power at rates much be- `low those now existing._ Such `devel- I opment would attract `industries and {capital and make a large contribu- 'tion to the upbuilding of the prov- mce. ' If people living within earshot of the band room are not fairly familiar with some of the airs of the Gilbert & Sullivan light operas by the end of the month, they haven't much ear for music. The set piece for the band competition is composed of this music and the B:C.I. band is practis- ing hard in the hopes of winning in their class at Toronto Exhibition, Good luck to them! &m%m&&i&%mm&$m* gAMoNc A broad white line on the middle of the pavement both approaching and on the turns would make these muchosafer for traffic as it would help to do away with the dangerous practice of cutting corners. With the turns so marked, very few motor- ists would fail to keep to the right side of the centre line. Corners where something like this is particularly needed are Burton Ave. 'and `Essa St., `Bradford and Elizabeth Sts., Berczy and Dunlop Sts. and at Oven-b den Gollege. Such an improvement would cost little and would make for safety. _ ` ~' The poor beggar seen so often `in the cities is anything but poor_ in `many cases, if one can judge from the ' surprising facts disclosed by a recent survey ma-de in Chicago. There beg- gingon the streets is an established business and wages are paid to men- dicants. The ordinary artisan gets $5 a day, and the skilled beggar demands a minimum of $11'a day. The aver- age pick-up of the sidewalk mendi- cants is $2.42 an hour, and the aver- age dole ung out by the passerby is `seven cents. ' Great glee was expressed in Queen's Park over the news of the defeat of the Venoit Government in New. Brunswickyaccording to the Toronto Telegram. The` rejoicing of these gentlemen might be somewhat less evident if they stopped to think that what happened to this gov- ernment is quite possible of repeti- tion in Ontario where the outcry against. the Government has been very much more pronounced than it was _in New Brunswick prior to the election `campaign. i ' Some criticism is heard of the police laying complaints against those who do not observe the Motor Vehicles Act. _ Such criticism is not justified. `People should not be al- lowed to` make speedways of the streets or otherwise violate the M. V. A. in such a way as to endanger traffic. Motorists are checked up `closely in the cities and know that they are expected to keep the law there.

There are few inuences ;more uplifting than have of the bean- itiful. .The personwho isfa sincere -lbver of owers is note_likely to go very far wrong. uiy. In declining. to allow his name, to go before the convention, E. J. Ev- ans, ex-M.P.-P., referred to Peter Smith. All farmers are being con- demned," he stated, through the ac- tion of a Minister in the Drury Gov- ernment, but the Province did not lose so much through Peter Smith a it did through a former Cabinet Minister in a former Conservative government, who is now leader of his party and Premier of Ontario. A million and a quarter dollars were collected by the. Drury Government from the Shelvin-Clarke Lumber Co. in timber dues that should have been collected by the former Minister of Crown Lands. No member of the. U. F.O. wouldthink of making Peter had not been convicted. ' Short on Organization "`The two old parties have only given us what we deserved, stated Reeve `J. F. Hambly of West 'Gwillim- bury, because we have never been properly organized. It is recognized that organization is necessary if a group or class is to get what it_ wants, and realizing this, bankers, merch- ants, manufacturers, miners `and rail- way men all are thoroughly organiz- ed. Unless farmers erfect their or- , ganizationso thatt ey can present their needs with the full weight of their numbers behind them, they will receive-no better treatment in the future` than they have in the past. Mr. Hambly stated that the Progress- ive members-at Ottawa have done good work and havebeen responsible for the reductions made in the tariff on some lines of agricultural imple- ments which resulted in Canadian manufacturers reducing prices. Riding 85 Miles Long I R. A. Sutherland of Stroud urged ' immediate action in organizing the ` riding, which, he stated, is one of the ' largest and hardest to work in the Province, being eighty-ve miles from Big Bay Point, the northeast . limit, to the southwest corner of Duf- ; ferin.` Economy, he said, should be , the keynote of succeeding govern- ments and he deplored the increase of taxes of all kinds, a situation which shows no signs of relief. V Suggests New County James Sheehan of Colgan also urg- a I I Smith` leader of the party even if he _ ed immediate organization if they a wanted to win the election and held that their defeat in 1923 was due to inadequate organization. He pointed out that the ght will be harder than it was in 1921 because of the big Conservative majority in South Sim- ., coe to counteract, but he believed it could be done if everyone got behind ` their candidate and worked hard. Mr. ' Sheehan advocated grouping South Simcoe with Dufferin, not only as an electoral district but as: a county. He believed South Simcoe would be bet-. ter off if such an arrangement were made than it is at present. _For Federal Purposes Only ` Thepresident, J. M. McNaughton\, outlined the proceedings since the de- cision some months ago `to form a political association for -the riding leading up to the convention." This Association, known as the Farmers Progressive Association, does not function in elections for the Legis- lature, Dufferin and-`South Simcoe be- ing separate gconstituenciesvfor pro- vincial purposes. .Mr. McNaughton expressed his pleasure with the large attendance, which, he said, showed the interest being taken in the Pro- gressive movement. Membership was not conned to farmers, but all who were opposed to class legislation det- rimental to the welfare of the coun- try at large would nd a political home in the Progressive party. The V delegates to the convention repre- sen'ted all classes.
