We can never tell but it seems to us that two such places in town is one too many. They are costly things to keep up and they can’t live Without a good patronage. The town license, of course, is only $25, but then there is a provincial license of $75, be- sides the cost of films, electricity and the necessary help to run them. The rent, too, or the inter- est, taxes and insurance on the property, as well as the heating must be counted in the overhead expenses. Perhaps there is room enough ful' two, but time will tell the tale. A higher town ' license would have some effect in limit- ing the number of places of amuse- . ment. and make it, more profitable ‘ for the owners. When the pool room license was fixed at $400‘it was regarded by some as prohib- itive, but the present owners are still there working away. It a two-hundred dollar license had been imposed there might. by this time, have bene two pool rooms, and neither of them making mon- ey. High licenses, it seems to us, macros-money. sadnes- A.

The Ladies’ Guild of Trinity church are working earnestly to have a successful bazaar early next month. No garden party or other social has been held by them all year, as they were concen- trating their efforts upon the bazaar, which they had announced last year that they would hold. If their bazaar is not a success, it will not be the fault of the ladies. Twenty dollars and costs, or twenty days was the fine imposed on Frank Warner by Magistrate Teliord. The trial, with others, was held two weeks ago, when Warner was found guilty of being drunk, but decision regarding the amount of the fine was reserved for a week.

The rush of population to the cities and towns hasn’t everything to do with the higher prices, but it has enough to make a difference in the price of all agricultural pro- ducts.

Mn'Ramage express- ed the hope that in the near future Mr. Prudham would tell his story i of Japan to a Presbyterian audi~ , ence. The meeting closed with the { National Anthem. ' In his introductory remarks he referred to Japan as the land of the rising sun, and showed how the word itself was“suggestive of such a meaning. This is the gland of sunrise, the place where ’the day began. He spoke of the geographical extent of the island Kingdom, its length, its breadth. its diversities of climate, the hab- its and customs of the people, the latitude and longitude. Ne pro- gress of the people in religion, education, arts and sciences for the past fifty years, were forcibly presented and most graphically portrayed. No country in the World during the past fifty years had made greater progress in edu-} cation, and the influence of the} Christian religion is extending itSelf slowly but surely through the length and breadth of the land. ; The principal number on the 3program was an address by Rev. Mr. Prudham on “Lights and Shadows in the Sunrise Land.” For about seven years Mr. Prudham ,was engaged in missionary work in Japan, and was able to tell the the land and its people.
