forecast by university authorities in the course of four or five years as the result two years ago it is said the number enrolled in first year dentistry at the university of toron to was 23 last year it was 24 and this year 2s have registered to date it is estimated that in order to supply the needs of the province 50 or 60 dentists should be graduated each year we read a couple of dispatches during the past week that set us thinking one came from kitchener and told of the perpetration of a peculiar offence when ou two farms near ulair five horses had their tails shorn neatly off and a sixth animal had the tail chopped off it is said that impulsive insanity is blamed for the act a nearer guess we be lieve would be that there is some one around that section who is just naturally cussed and ornery and needs something more than twenty- live dollar line if caught another dispatch from the west told of a man becoming enraged at a horse and fixing a rope to the animals tongue he tied it to an other animal drove him away and pulled the unfortunate animals tongue out by the root the per petrator of the crime was caught and fined fifty dollars where is the justice here why should a court bo so lenient to a human fiend while for a much less er crime a decent man would bo fined at least one hundred dollars and costs personally we think a bank robber a bootlegger or even a common highwayman so much about this class of individual that we feel like apologising for the com parison it is bad enough to mis treat a dumb animal in any manner but to take a dumb brute and force ably pull its tongue out would make some of the old tortures of the ages shudder municipax taxes everywhere are higher than they were some years ago but this does not necessarily mean that local

or business during the past generation there has been a greater increase in the standard of living than for hundreds of years previously today the mechanic enjoys luxuries which even the millionaire did not have a gen eration ago what applies to the in dividual applies to the municipality not so many years ago such matters as repairing the plank sidewalks md keeping cows off the street were among the important items to en gage the attention of small town councils today the service required from the municipality with its vurious boards and commissions is intricate and expensive lint at that the

fergus new record continues to ask his question are county councils worth what they cost to this he has fre quently answered in the negative recently in the star weekly he re peated his no and supported it with real argument saying doubts are apt to rise when it is claimed that reeves are paid from 1000 to 2500 for their services to their county and when it is said that a warden may receive close to 3000 in a year yet the figures published by one county in recent years prove this to be true the most fruitful source of in come is the mileage allowance for teomniitteo world between sessions this is set to fifteen cents a mile at least one county goes farther and furnishes a car for the use of the most important committee paying the expense but allowing the mile age to those reeves who ride it if the committee travels a hundred miles in a day the payment to each reeve may total 20 5 for daily allowances and 15 for mileage sometimes a busy man is elected as reeve of a town and when he goes to the first session of the county council he is disgusted with un businesslike methods these men are apt to press for reforms but the weight of tradition and of members is against them they become dis couraged and drop out of public life at the first opportunity dealing with the question of work mr templin stresses the fact that the powers of a county council are limited host of the money spent by men in recent years has been for building and maintenance of roads nominally this work is under the direction of 3 or 5 members but act ually every trifling expenditure must receive the assent of the department of highways the same tiling is true of many other duties of the county council grants to schools and hospitals are fixed by statue inspectors give orders when they think new registry offices are to be built or better facilities provid ed for the administration of justice very few expenditures are usually under the control of county councils those who favor abolition of such bodies claim that their work could be done more cheaply and efficient ly by the provincial government and the local municipalities the fact that many county councils do very little business for some days after sessions open but susli bylaw reports etc through as the close of the session approaches is also referred to other conditions which make the average ratepayers wonder if after all county councils are worth whate they cost are also noted too to the weekly press is given con siderable credit for reforms recently brought about in some counties mr templin says that within the last few years there have been some signs of reform these have been started through the efforts of many weekly newspapers which undertook to report the work of county councils as it had never been reported before when they gave the ratepayers the figures of amounts paid to some reeves and supplemented these with accounts of time wasted and the jockeying among municipal re presentatives for special privileges the matter began to he discussed at the nomination meeting and grad ually a portion of reformers was elected to office as a result some county councils seem to be striv ing for a more satisfactory solution of their problems and changes seem bound to result pearson again chosen in north york weeds financial post ontario remains an important agricultural province but weeds of three varieties are a menace to the peace of mind and the prosperity of the ontario farmer according to some of the best authorities these three weeds are the wild carrot the wild mustard and the sow thistle the tourist from the pavements of the big cities may see in fields of these weeds an attractive even a pretty picture but the farmer who is endeavoring to make something of his farm knows that the over running weed threatens his economic life the township which neglects the roadside and the farmer who fails to extinguish the first weed are for getting the essential nature of the agricultural industry and the need for maintaining or increasing the cmcicncy of the farms in a province which must always remain largely rural no matter how great its cities may grow p w pearson mpp was again chosen by the liberal party to con test north vork riding in the com ing election mr pearson has been iu very poor health for the past few mouths and it was thought that his physical
