mosquitoes the methods of eradicating mosquitoes which have been used with such brilliant results in the tropics notably in the construc tion of the panama canal are eq imlly applicable in canada and are as follows old cans bottles and discarded crockery should be disposed of in such a way that they do not fill up with water rain barrels sho- ed over with a little coal oil once the water in them should be film ed over with a litte coa oil once a week many low places can be filled in and others can be drain ed small fish feed on the wigg- lers and shores should be kept clean of weeds so that the fish can get at the wigglers readily pools and ponds which can neith er be filled in or drained should be sprayed once a week with sum cient coal oil to form a complete film over the surface dont stay awake at nifjhts on account of mosquitoes if you think a gallon or two of coal oil would solve the problem the cost of the coal oil is no thing in comparison with one long hoi night of irritation dont neglect to take two or three yards of mosquito netting with you to wrap around your head loosely if the worst comes to the worst or if you are camp ing oil of citronella rubbed on the exposed portions of the body is a fairly effective emergency protec tion against mosquitoes as the moslyuito objects to any pungent odor presbyterian church in canada ratepayers must pay county levy a comparatively small number attended the meeting held in the auditorium on monday evening to discuss the methods of paying thj county levy for the patrio tic fund the meeting called on friday 4th inst was so poorly attended that it took the form of a sidewalk discussion those pres ent agreeing that the matter should be brought before the sub scribers to the fund at a pudtic meeting hence the meeting on monday evening the chairman mr jas rat- cliff briefly outlined the situat ion he said that when the sub scription was taken up last there was no expectation of a levy during 1916 he explained how the levy came about through the action of the county council in making a contribution to the patriotic fund 1662 being our share reeve sangster when called up on said that he was greatly

the on ly municipalities in the county that had raised the amount by voluntary subscription the co unty council he said had noth ing to do with the money except to pass it on to the patriotic society if we had known there woud have been a levy during 1- 916 we woud not have taken up a subscription for the patriotic fund the debt is now doubly provided for why treble our pro vision for it at this juncture the trrasur- er sreport was read fn mr f l button the next speaker said that he was one of the five who met when 3000 was asked for at first he suggested at that time that the council pay the whole amount but his suggestion was turned down and a voluntary subscription taken resulting in the collection of ab out 7000 if we take out of the 3500 of this given to the patriotic fund he said we are not fulfilling our promise and the council did wrong in taking mon ey from that fund what power he said had a part of the comm ittee to vote money entrusted to the secretary of the patriotic society some he said have not given we who have are pay ing their taxes he considered the proceeding illegal if some had contributed more than they could afford they should be given back enough to pay the tax it was a shame he thought to spoil the good name of stouffville rev mr mutch favored the councils proposal though he would like some pay who had not done it is a question for the taxpayers only in his estimation mr mcoallough thought that the council had misconceived the matter it having no power to di vert any of the money collected by voluntary subscription he j believed that the citizens of sto- uliille would be perfectly willing tc pay the paltry few mills call ed for mr w h todd blamed the council saying that their action looked underhanded since they did not call a meeting of those interested to consider the matt er he considered it a small piece of business to raise about 7000 and then want a little of it back to pay taxes mr button again arose j and stated that a number of counties in western ontario arc giving as high as five thousand dollars a month and in those counties the re arc scores of villages giving large sums he cited the county j of ontario as another illustrat- thrift the longer the war continues the greater the financial burden that canada wih have to bear it is tfiersorej a patriotic duty and necessity to save as large a portioa of our
