Much credit is due the pupils and 3 lstaff of `the VBiCaI. for the excellent entertainment given at the Opera House on Mond-ay and Wednesday or this week.

That the doctor -must give much time to this work can not be doubted and this must intenfere with his own work.

Too much gravel should not be put on an old gravel road at one time, about two inches 5 suflicient. Use the tmlc to roll out :1 road instead of a. road roller.

A mea.su.1-e entitled The Munici- pal Fnamlchzise Act, 1922, which passed the Ontario Legislature last session with little discussion. has not received so much attention as it de- serves. A few yeans ago the en- iiranchrisennent for rmunlicinpal (pur- poses of hundreds of thousands of women, which is the object of the Act, would have been regarded as revolutionary. To-day it follows logically the adoption of woman suffrage in Provincial and Federzu elections. There ,has been no rea~ son for the delay in extending this right to municipal elections except that the women, after their victories in the wider spheres, rested on their laureils for a time. They owe their latest triumph to the initiative of farmers wives. who demanded to know why .they could not go to the polls to vote for Reeves, Coulnncillors and School Tnustees where they were on an equal footing with the men in choosing members of the House of Coxnunons and the Legisla- ture. In .-.n`.-ml Hun neqocqnvxc nrn re- HUNICII .-`lL VOTES FOR WODIEN I Lure. In effect the assessors are re- quired to enter on, a. roll the names of the wives of owners and tenants, they shall be entitled to vote at municipal elections. In cities of 100,000 and over it will not be necessary as in other r1nunici.pa.lities to bracket the names of husbands and wives-rwhere the husbands are entitled to be rated, may be enter- ed on sep-a.ra.te or supplexnentamy as- sessment roll by the `assessor or as- sistant assessor. The Act will en- tail :1 great deal of Work on asses- sors, who do the ennumerating, but the method appears to be bhe most convenient one. The new legiisl-ation en-franichlhses the wives, `but leaves the dang-hters out of the reckoning. It is inconsistent that a. young wo- man who is qualied to vote in Panlilmmentwry elections should be held inseligiible to take part in local affairs. Probably this a\norma.1y will soon be removed.
