indicate that the people over there are fast falling into line lor some form of lliiuor legislation such as we have in ontario in the vote taken two to one supported a change from the present prohibition law to some form of government control there is likely to be concerted action against the present system of bargaining and trading in ministers that is in operation in the united church of canada over which there is widespread dissatisfaction among the members of this great body at the present time ministers are go ing hither and thither prealching for a call which in common industrial life means making application for u job the standing of the ministry and the dignity of the high calling it is held is belittled by the present system few united church ollicials or ministers in rural sections con done the manner in which ministers are engaged now and an appeal will likely be made at proper time to re vert to the old methodist plan of a stated time for pastorates to end there is a startling measure be fore the legislature of massachu setts and yet it may signify a natural evolution in public opinion and medicine the bill is designed to create a state department that would furnsh free and complete medical service to the people this would be patterned after the bureau of medicine and surgery of the united states navy the project includes abolishment of the existing

the catholic register mrs kathryu sancetta a young woman who has been married five years and a member of st agues parish lof cleveland ohio was awarded first prize of 25 on feb 22 in divorce antidote contest sponsored by the cleveland news the contestants submitted their remedy for divorce tin a communi cation to the news the judges were three judges of the common pleas court mrs sancottas sugges tion for decreasing and even abolish ing the current system of divorce is contained in the following letter add to the curriculum of our ischools ia department wherein pres ervation of the family would be taught thus wo would be preparing our young for the life into which 99 pei cent of them enter they should be taught the sanctity of the marriage vow which death alone makes dissoluble would not suoh a course bei more bene- rtdiil to civilization at large than some of the branlches now taught why should our state not deem the bretiking of our marriage vow as grave an offence as the breaking of an oath of ollico where punish ment is meted out granting of divorce separation may be necesr sary and just where two people can not live together but why should our state contribute to the sealing of an oah till death and then annul the same oath often bring ing misfortune to innocent children if our young were educated to the fact that such a vow once made cannot be dissolved except by death and our state continued to grant divorces in extreme cases but abolished the great ovil of permitt ing either party to remarry while the other lived there would be far fewer divorces it is safe to estimate that nearly threeourths of the divorces sought are done so with the purpose of remarryling some will ask why must the innocent suffer with the guilty the answer is because they have taken an oath till death paying taxes new curtains for spring ruffled marquisette curtains pleasing creamy shade with fancy ruffles in blue rose gold and green with tie backs to match delightful

is the fruit of their labors a part of them selves and many hate to part with it in immediate payment for ne cessities and iniope especially for luxuries if paid at once it may be done with cheerfulness hut the pay ment loif juat debts is a bugbear to many a relief to others not a sim ple duty that should be performed with alacrity this applies espec ially to our debt to the community our taxes when they are just a debt is something we owe and we owe it to our municiality or our country to pay our share of the ex pense of carrying on the various public stemices that are rendered paying taxes is not popular es pecially is this the case if the taxes are direct when they have to be paid out in cash when indirect that is when wo pay them when we buy clothes food implements and ether commodities we endure a sort of process of painless extraction and our statesmen lie awake at night and dream in the daylight converting sohemes for taxes that may bo collected with the minimum of grumbling or protest or of criti cism of the way money is spent few people object to taxes if other people are paying them many- are unconscious of the burdens they are bearing in the way of taxation inlcome is a proper basis of taxa tion on the condition that all but the indigent pay a share according to the measure of their ability the rate might be raised aiccording to the ability to pay people with small incomes and large families might be exempt but the man or woman in comfortable circumstances and without family responsibilities should not be exempt this plan however is not practicable the protests would be too many and too strong we have an instance oif direct taxation in the poll tax it is not too much to ask every young man or young woman for that matter to pay five dollars for the privilege of using the sidewalks streets elec tric lights and other things furnish ed by the municipality it should be collected without fear or favor and without compunction and this is done in many plaices stouffville has yet to collect this tax which if done would add a few more just dollars to tour resources do you remember way back when browns bush on the tenth con cession of whitchurch was the popular rendesvous for sunday- school and other picnics lumber would be borrowed from mr wholer and tables and benches constructed for eaeli occasion great swings wre 3wung from lite trees with ropes loaned by nearby farmers to enable the younger to enjoy them selves many embryo orators made the woods ring with their eloquence in browns bush in those days and among them might be mentioned dr john sangster who later made his name famous as an educationist and also in the political arena it is said that one of his first speeches which drew attention to his ability as an orator was made be fore a large audience in browns bush when he was a young man on his fathers farm near lincolnrille dr sangster lived for many years in the town of port perry and died there old

mitchell of vancouver i am a native son of markham township and lived there nearly fifty years bafore moving to mani toba my acquaintance with the stouff ville district began in 1s75 when i engaged to

doubt have passed away the five mitchell boys and their two sisters all attended at that time the rov levi grove and many others whose names appear in the tribune my association with the people was very pleasant and i fully appreciated the splendid qualities of the sons and daughters of those who pioneered in this district when i commenced teaching there were no model or normal schools excepting in toronto and attendance was voluntary success ful candidates with few exceptions passed out of the public schools or high schools as fully qualified teachers s for the first year my salary was 325for the second year 350 for the tliird year i asked 100 but the trustees told me more than 350 had never been paid and they did not wish to create a precedent so i made a change mr j e rowbotham
