J ust now Simcoe is educating the children, building roads and carrying on all necessary county work and is prepared `to do so. This ..is sufficient for the.day and if the county council permit themselves to be brawbeaten into a large expenditure for a new reg- istry office they should lose much admiration and even more support. Wepare not rebellious but be- lieve two-things. first, there is_'a time for every- thing and second that the time has not yet been reached when the ratepayers of`Simcoe should fall ` for a large expenditure for a registry office. especi- .ally at the dictation of some-official who knows lit- `tie on nothing a`bo.ut'l'oc.al a airs and cares much `less.

On going to and fro among our fellow-beings we are continually greeted, by a curt hello from the more youthful members of our acquaintance; but the other morning, like a beam of sunlight through a rift in the clouds, came a polite good morning from a boy whose age cou1d_not exceed six years. Such an evidence of politenessin contrast to the gen- eral condition of familiarity which exists is unshak- able proof that some wise parent is striving to 'bring- up a child in the way he should go, and ought to receive due commendation.

There are now -only 10 banks doing business in Canada, calculating the Commerce and the Standard as one. Since 1917, there have been 11 bank` mergers in the Dominion. In .1917, there were three mergers and again in 1914, there were three. The 10 banks now remaining in the i eld are: Commerce, Montreal, Royal, Nova- , Scotia, Dominion, Imperial, Toronto, Hochela- ga, La Banque Provinciale du Canada and the Weyburn Security Bank in the West.
