They are musicians who are accom- plished on more than one instrument. Each member of the Alexander Trio does three or four different things in a musical way-and the company otters a Program which usually requires the services of about tive people. Saxa- phones, comets, mellophones, violins, ulceleles, Nano, readings and many other features will be enjoyed when the Alexanders come to town. a) CHILDREN 35c. m P03017211?!

All the Christmas trees cut in Canada every year would only represent It few square .miles of forest, and in com parison with the forest fires of just a single province in any one years are of infinitesimal account. Most Christ- mas trees are cut by farmers from lands they need as pasture, and it means a handy source of revenue for many a worthy family. Let's be rea- sonable about tree cutting, Don't let us disturb the joys of Christmas until we have done more to bloek the rav- ages of the real tree destroyer, the fire fiend." Forestry Association Says It is a Beautiful Custom and Well.. Established. In answer to the question, "If Can.. ada is so concerned in forest conser- vation and the timber supply is rapid- ly decreasing, why not stop the eat- ting of Christmas Trees?” the Cam. adian Forestry Association makesthe following reply:--- The Forestry Association no doubt is too polite to mention that as soon as Hon. Mr. Raney finds out how much joy people g,et from Christmas trees he will start a society for stop- ping their manufacture, sale or im- portation in this province, In further reference to the ,Christ- mas tree question the Forestry Asw.. elation says it is easy to cut a Spruce or Balsam tree to secure a good Christmas tree without killing the pa- rent tree's growth. Tlukplan is as follows:--. a 'e, “Cut; the tree off just above the loivest whorl of branches and then trim ol'fmll other of the remaining, branches except one. The latter will grow erect rapidly and gradually es- tabish itself as the main tree trunk. In this way, a plantation of spruces can be kept producing Christmas trees indefinitely. The plan is in effect in several parts of the United States" Irv. A, Laprairie last week advertis- ed for the ireturn of his handsome collie dog, "lost, strayed or stolen." The Advance had not ibeen published more than five ot' ten minutes when Mr. Laprairie met the dog on the street. "The collie must have read The Advanee," said Mr.iaprairie. Sure!

In an editorial article last, week on the municipal situation in Cochrane, The Nowhland Post says that in look. ing over the record of the year 's meet- ings of the Town Council at Cochrane one can not but be struck with what the paper terms "the paucity of at- tendance on the part of the Council- lors," The meetings generally were poorly attended and more than one meeting had to be cancelled because there was no quorum. For the coming year The Northland Post wants to be assured beforehand that,those chosen for municipal office will really devote the necessary time to the task. The lack of regular attendance by Conn- eillors, as The Post phrases it, "is not the spirit in which the honour should be recognized which a trusting popu- lace bestows upon a favoured indivi- dual." TIMMINt, COUNCILLORS REGULAR AT MEETINGS In Timimns the Councillors are ra- ther noteworthy for the regularity with which they attend meetings. Some of the Councillors here could show a record of "perfeet" in the matter of attending the meetings and most of them have not missed more than a couple of regular meetings dur, ing the past year. Special meetings are also well attended, and generally it should be recognized that tlurMsiy- or and ("ouneillors have certainly giv. en very generously of their time in the matter of looking after the Town's Oespatehes from the West say that at the recent conference at Regina between omeials of the Governments of Manitoba, Saskatchewan anti Al- berta, relating to provincial "blue sky" laws, it was agreed that the fun- damental principles of the acts in different provinces relating to sales of shares should be as uniform as INS- sible. It was also agreed that publi- city was of great benefit in securing the protection of investors, and means /sh.ould be adopted 'to reach people who ordinarily cannot secure the information that is necessary to pro- beet them. _ ' 'BLUE SKY' t LEGISLATION FOR THE CANADIAN WEST Discussion on the question of the practicability of carrying out the measure without issuing eertrfieies or licenses to agents, where a com- pany has passed the board, led to the conclusion that eertiheates and li- censes were necessary as being the proper method of protecting the com- Pany and the public. In granting a eertitieate under the Sale of Shared Act, it is distinctly stated thereon in conspicuous type that the commission in no wise recommends the securitiad offered. u TO RENT-RO OM ING Hot S FD--- 25 rooms; all modem conveniences; living quarters in connection; unfur- nislwd.
