P. A. Goughlin shipped a curload of live stock last' Saturday. some weeks ago a team of horses were being weighed here and there was one Bund: re pounds difference in the team when weighed singly. The sceles were thoroughly overhauled and examined, and nothing could be found that would cause the trouble, uill one of the by-standers suggested that the screw for lowering and raising the plutform be adjusted. This was apparently a surprise to the weighmaster as he was on the verge of taking them to pieces, but after a little adjusting they were. found to give entire satisfaction. So, for the bene- fit of those who appear to have a kick coming, the weighmaster is quite willing to state that there is not a more accurate pair of scules in the three townships at the present time, . in conversation the other day with previous citizen of this township who was on a visit, he stated that in all his years cof living in Flos he never experienced any- thing like the trip to Elmvale one day Just week in an auto, and that on the whole the roads are worse in Flos than any township in the County, with the ex- eeption of the " Line along ie eat Reeve _resi¢ jut your corres; drew his ore es to the fact that along where our Deputy-Reeve lives was another -fair piece of road. I understand that the Engineer overseeing the county rosds has refused to allow the grader to be used on any of those roads. How in the name of goodness is any man to get the proper rounding to any road without the grader? 'One thing certain, if the grader was on the road from here to Fergusonvale and on to Elmvale a great improvement would be made, There seems to be a feeling of dissatisfaction among the people at large not only at the present condition of the roads, but at the slow work of the council in having the proper work done st the proper time, Another thing that a great many think should be agitated very strongly by. the leading councilmen, is tl utilization of the proceeds received from auto licenses in each municipality. If this could be properly arranged, enough would 'be forthcoming to keep all roads in firet- class shape without any unnecessary extra taxation, The real question is--where is all 'this money expended? No doubt on such roads as the Hamilton and Toronto high- wa . 4 wish to draw the attention of the cour- of that reports in -- ioe red ridge crossing the 4th Line close to - bes = becoming unsafe and should be Provin p.m. DALSTON May 19.--Seeding is about finished in this locality, A reception service for our returned sol diers will be held on Friday night, 23rd, the Methodist Church bere.

For many years the heslth- giving and wholesome custom of having children apend one day in the yeur in plant. ing trees and flowers, hus been neglected, but fortunately, there is now a widespread movement to revive the practice. It is being urged that tree-planting is a fitting manner in which to commemorate the ser vice of Cansdinns who have died in battle. The idea has much to commend it and will doubtless receive hearty support in many quarters, But if, in addition to the estab. lishment of memorial tree plantations, in- terest could he renewed in the old-time Arbour day, the benefits would be more than doubled. What school-boy of a gen eration or more ago, who shured in the annual celebration of Arbour day, but has un especial interest even yet in a tree or a group of trees, which he helped to plant and care for near the old 'school building? Both children and grown-ups are the bet ter for ussociating with trees and flowers.
