Quite so, but there is little chance of them 'getting back. ` People of today Vdemahnd many irnprovements which they managed to get along without fteen or` twen- ty years ago. These demands can ~-_' be met only by the expenditure of money, which, of ,course, means lliighertexetlon. It will be `years he `flare. ratepayers can expect much re- An unusual request was heard by Pembroke Council at its last meeting when about forty citizens asked that a bee-keeper. be compell- ed to remove his bees on the ground that they were a` public nuisance, stinging children at play in the yards and soiling laundry on the `line so that it had to be washed again. In Pembroke `the problem seems to be to make the busy bees stick to their own business. `. 'To meet the current year's decit and to provide a sinking fund to take care of the oating. debt of the pro- Vince, the New Brunswick Legislat- ure has resorted to direct taxation. Such a method of raising provincial revenue is not a good sign, yet it should have the e'ect of making the public scrutinize the expenditures more closely -- something which is `very desirable in these days of in-. creased demands from governing bodies of various kinds. Recently the Forest Free Press published some striking gures show- ing the growth, of farm taxes in Lambton County. In 1906 the pop- ulation of the ten townships was 30,- 886 and the. total municipal and school taxes paid amounted to $268,- 725, being $8.71 per head. `In 1924 the population-was 24,124 and -the taxation was $717,138, being $29.72. per head, an increase of $21.01 per head. `In 1906 the taxation amount- ed to 40 cents per acre and.in 1924 it amounted to $1.08 per acre. ' A speaker at the `Canadian Health Congress_condemned the handshake as. a transmitter of disease germs and said it should be banned. De- spite the germs, a good hearty hand- clasp is one of the most encouraging ways of expressing sympathy and suppprt at times when words are in- adequate. For the perfunctory, meaningless handshake we have little .'use, but we hope that it will be ;a far distant day when the handclasp that really means something passes out.` nuuu. ltllvugulallcl KUIIIIUL v_nw a van _/rate is live mills-`greater than in`1925. Midland tax rate for 1926- is two mills higher thanin 1925. In other.` parts of the province also rates are mounting. Pembroke ratepayers are asked to contribute 49.6 mills if public school supporters and 53.1 mills if their `taxes go to the separate school. As in Simcoemthere has been a big in- crease in the Renfrew County rate, `Pembroke's contribution being 9.31 mills. Altogether Pe_mbroke's tax '-nL:.

The general strike tliatihad prac- tically-paralyzed industry in Great Britain for nine days was called off by the trade`: union council on Wed- nesday. This waslbound to come. Such an attack on constitution- al authority. as was made by the general strike order could not be tol-- erated by the British people. With the strike order revoked the way is, now clear for a reumption .01 the negotiations between the coal owners and miners and there is . an optim- istic feeling that peace may; bei achieved in the coal industry. I . ., Something novel in methods `of ! hospital financing is being employed. by the,York County Hospital Board,| Newmarket, to raise funds to pur- chase and equip a building for hos- pital purposes in thattown. The plan is to issue bondsin $50, $100 and $500 denominations, bearing interest at six per cent. It is probable that those who take these bonds. will don so more as a contribution than as an investment, -for the Express-Herald says that in the two years of its ex- istence the Newmarket hospital has firmly rooted itself in the hearts of the people. Wednesday, May 12,- was the one- hundred and sixth anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, whose heroic example in the Crimean War has been an inspiration \to all who follow the. profession of nursing. Could she return` toearth and see the manner in which the sick are cared for today in the hospitals throughout the land she would be amazed... Little did she dream, when she initiated and helped to carry` out the first methods of practical and sanitary care of the wounded and sick, that out of hernoble work would grow the `modern "and scien- tic hospitals of today.

Mr. Grasett, however, believes that, because of its wonder- ful climate, Florida is destined to be . the winter play-ground of_ the con.- tinent and that the State vs_nll prosper when the orgy of speculation is over Iand people -have agam become sane, This was Mr; Grasett`s fourth win- |V I ter in Florida and on his 31'1`lV81 there. % last November he, found a wonderful ;bo`om41n real estate. Not only in the` ` cities and towns, -but also_1n smalk M villages and even vvhere there was no.5 organized communlty, lots were stak- ed outand offered for -saxle. Develop- V ment work had been done by the pro. moters of_ the various trac-ts. Sub-A divisions were laid out and paved .roads built at enormous expense. , ' otoring `down the east._coast from Jacksonville, he found thls condition- universal and returning m the spring through an entlrely different portion of the State :he found the same thing. Land values were inated out of .all proportion. Mr. Grasett stated that in a village several miles from Or. lando, the nearest pl-ace of any size, fty-foot lots with a depth varying from 127 to 150 feet were offered for $3000. Prices asked for fty- foot lots in the more desirable and: thickly populated sections varied from $5000 to $10,000. While these` prices wereasked, Mr. Grasett stated that they were.not often received. Building costs and rents soared in proportion to the price of land. Car- ,pen-ters received` $1;15 an hour and plasterers and bricklayers drew $1.-I 25. A great deal of building was. carried on during the winter and- much difficulty was experienced get-| ting in supplies. At one time the- congestion in the railway yards ati Jacksonville was so great that the railways placed an embargo on ev- erything *but food stuffs. In the cit- ies and towns big eight and ten- storey buildings were erected and there has (been and still is a_ heavy demand for apartments` and houses to rent. vv . unnv Mr. ravsett stated that an apart- ment in St. Petersburg which two years ago rented for $400 for the season--ab'out ve mcmths--this year brought $900.
