store wiu be open tuesday thursday and saturday vcningcloed wdnuday at noon it is the custom in some schools to report the standing of the pupus monthly in the local press it may be of public interest in a town but what interest has the general pub lic in the report of a rural school of course it is a pleasant thing for the parents and friends of clever children to see the names bearing the high marks the others must be content with middle or low places in the list if we could only measure and report the actual amount of i honest effort expended on lessons it would be more to the point the clever pupils usually get the patt- jlng on the back the dull plodder receives little attention yet in many cases the plodder turns out to bo the more desirable citizen in a number of schools monthly report cards are sent home to the parents one entry on the- card shows the pupils rank in tho class it is next to impossible to estimate the real standing in this regard be- sides a difference in the intelligence of pupils there is often irregular attendance to consider then there is a place to report the conduct of the child why shouldnt parents re port to teachers the childs home conduct it is usual that a child who behaves well at home finds it easy to do so at school cleaverness is also a factor in conduct pupils are often clever enough to put it over and get away with mis chievous conduct and taen get re ported e or g pedagogue riding officers re elected the north york reform associa tion elected officers for the year at its annual meeting held at new market last saturday a

fellow men heine one reason why people strenu ously object to increased taxation is that so much money is wasted by our governments that it arouses a resentful feeling the three cent postage for instance is a heavy bur den to be placed on the people yet up in the town of walkerton tho caretaker of the post office 65 years of age is being superannuated and given a life pension of 900 per year this new pensioner drew 1200 per year since 1916 as caretaker and now draws most of his old salary a new caretaker is taken on at 1200 just why this position held for only a few years calls for a pension is something not explained people who have families to feed and who must count the cost of ev erything they buy are foolish if they do not make a full use of eggs and butter these days word comes from toronto however that people are not buying as many eggs as when they were double or treble the price an egg so long as it is fresh is just as good at a cent as one at five cents people who are not thrifty enough to take advantage of the present low prices are not good managers butter milk and eggs the three most valuable foods obtainable are now procurable at lower prices than for years w the report that newfoundland is trying to sell labrador has been de nied there is however consider able speculation going on in can ada and not a few are of the opin ion that it would be good business for canada to acquire this strip of her main coast line with its hinter land the reason no doubt for this view is that labrador is rich in minerals and would be an ad junct to canada in that respect it is thought that there will be rich iron deposits as well as lead zinc copper cobalt silver and gold the chief trouble is that mining develop ment would be a slow and laborious business in that country owing to transportation difficulties and for that reason there might be diiiicul- ty in interesting capital on the other hand because of the knowu richness of the country the price that newfoundland would want might be considerably higher than the dominion would feel like pay- ins particularly at this time it should not be allowed to go to any other country however for it is really part of canada even if the privy council did award it to new foundland ontario colxtvs torkst whitby chronicle a number of years ago when ontario county went into the busi ness of growing tress to supply future generations with timber establishing a miniature forest in uxbridge township there were those not in the county council however who viewed the experi ment with considerable doubt as to its success they fell that the county was investing money from which adequate returns would never be realized today according to a report pre sented to the county council last week there are s23 acres planted and only ten per cent of the trees planted liave died this year 75- 000 more trees will bo set out and there now only remains 150 of the 973 acres purchased to be planted the trees are grjwins rapidly on laud unsuitable for farming thirty years hence men will be going in with axes to cut down timber pro vided through tha foresight of men who believed that they did not live for themselves alone but cwed something to posterity the forest now successfully growing is one of the best invest ments the county ever made and remember the county will gain financially from it when the forest reaches maturity groceries soap chips 2 lbs castile soap 10 cakes catsup 2s oz bottle kipper snacks per tin lobster per tin herring in tomato sauce howntrees cocoa jlb tin peas 3 tins vegetable soup 2
