T IS gratifying to note that peti-o tions are in-circulation praying the Council to bring Barrie under the "Public Parks Act and have_ the management of parks, boulevards, ctc., vested in a commission. All classes of citizens should join in fur-.the'ring the movement, `and if any elector has not already signed the petition -he should make-it his busi- mess to do so at once. Two hundred names only are needed, and if this number be secured Council-has no alternative but to submit a by-law to the people next January. If you are in favor of a more beautiful and pro- gressive Barrie, by all means, wet ycur name on the petition paper. Remember, all that is asked is anon- portunity for the electors to decide the question. in!-n-- one COUNCIL. COLWELL. ufropm. THE N0RT}HERNA%ADvANcE T- EADY.

These were issued in the form. of the May bulletin. This is reassur- ling. in the _face of claims that are be- [ing made that the lack of sunshine and the cool weather of April and in the early part of May have given a serious setback to thecrops. I BRILLIANT CAVALRY LEADER `Field ioperations- in spring sowing were the earliest for many "years, but even with the setback in the latter. partof April, spring sowing is about a month earlier than last seasontarid a week ahead of the average year.

The short and mild winter worked wonders in fodder supplies. Some,, however, sold too `freely, tempted by: the high prices, but the early grass` came to their rescue. In most dis- tricts there is a sufficiency, and the general` tone is much more cheerful than those of more recent years. The reports of live stock are'parti- cularly bright, except that the un- usually high prices led to too hasty marketing. Cattle~hav_e been remark- ably free from disease. Milk cows are fewer--thaneusual, but `more calves are being kept. Sheep are doing well, and lambs are coming strong and plentiful. Swine are not so plentiful. I _ --- --- The ` general outlook regarding or- chards is encouraging. Blossoming averaged about a. fortnight earlier than usual, and was very profuse.

I\ I Many Canadians are probably ;un- _ aware of how brilliant a soldier `Gen- {,- eral `Sir John French, who is now in Canada on a mission to inspect the t1 military forces of this Dominion, really is. By. critics as disinterested as the German military attaches who` accompanied the British forces in the f; South African campaign he is regard- ed as one of the most brilliant cav- alrv leaders who ever commanded` men.
