Her first report ho the School> Board is railher startl'ing. She has found 125 chîldren afflicted with pediculosis, 26 dirty, '728 with carions teeth, 18 sub- normal and 5i with enlarged tonsils. Singular 10 relate the Board simplv re- ceived and filed ber report!l Is this al the sympathy the members have for the poor dirty, îousv youngsters ? Why didn't they order up a supply of carbolic soap and fine-tooth conibs? Miss E. Seiling, the nurse, advised establishing a dental clinic for the children but no action was taken. A verv excellent report of the apple gruwers of these United Counties appears ini this issue. It is great]y ta be regret- ted that "Dad is dead and dosen't know il", South Durham and Northumberland is the apple garden of this P ovince and il is sureiy up to the local orchardista to keep this district on the apple mnap of the country. Thousanda upon thousands of dollars have been made froni orchards and surely the growers can afford to make a good showing when opportunity offers. That was a splendid annual meeting and the report of it should in- terest ev ýry app'e nian who reads this paper See page 2. We are- pleased to note by the report of the 47th annual meeting of the Midland Loan & Savings Company of which Our worthy friend, Mr. Thomas Wickett, ia the President and Mr. Walter J. Hem, Manager, that the company has had a highiy satisfactory year with earuings over $96,ooo-largest on record-and $28,000 paid in dividends, a rate of 8 per cent. Reserve Funci was increased by $io,ooo, rnaking it now $285,000 or 85 per cent of the paid-up capital. We cougrat- ulate aIl concerned on this excellent showing on the vears operations. Port Hopers may jestly feel proud of having such a saccessful financial institution in tht' pretty bilîside town.

A special offer made to i NINTH ANNUAL MEETING 0F THff NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM APPLE GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. From Our Own Reporter "Six or seven years ago these United Counties sent apples to the Horticultural Exhibition in 1 oronto by the car load, boxes, barreis and plates and won the very highest awards. These apples won the admiration of ail and were the envy of every other apple producing, district. This last fali there was not a single plate at, the Exhibition froni these t wo counties. How are the mighty fallen !" 11 Sa spoke Prof. Carev, Government Instructor lu fruit packing, at the njnth convention of the Durhanm & Northum- berland Apple Growers' Association. UIi.at'- the iatterP As we might infer froni a huruoros ,a necdote of one of the speakers, "Pa's dead and he don't know il" "Some years ago", said President] C. R. Lovekin, "one-seventh of the apples grown in Ontario came froni these Uaited Counties; but r.ow l frost, dis- nase, blight, pests and possibly spraying niaterial have wrou-ght havoc to the once flourishing and productive apple orchards in this district. The Association met in' the Court Rooni, Cobourg, on Jan. 28, Pres. C. R. Lovekin, presîding. Sec.-Treas H. Sirett, read the minutes and gave his reports, which were adopted, after which President Lovekin addressed the meeting. He spoke of the large amount of labor involved anid the capital expended lu the apple growing industry, as much as iu any other two lines of farming; the attention but tittie heed the ministers of the late Governmeut paid to the requesta of their deputation which waited on theni on Mav 2th, i919, and made some very pertinent remarks regarding the staff and work of the 0. A. C. Mr. W. Il Gibson, Newcastle, led the discussion on the Tractor, its advantages and weaknesses. Mr. Ivan M. Law, Solina; P. C Dempsey, Trenton; Warren Pinch, Newcastle; and Supt. F. E. Palier, Viueland, Ont., added their quota 10 the discussion. The concensus of opinion was lu favor of a light, haudy, powerful tractor, Mr. Gîbson thought the Caterpillar was gîving DRIVING TRADE TO ORO NOI Port Hope merchants ant bankers must change their Wednesday Isalf holi- days or continue to lose business. Elizabethville, Osaca and alI the -villages in that section are served by the C. N R, and passenger trains esst stop at stations between Oroîjo and Port Hopé, on Wed- nesdav and Saturday only. The train fom'the west arrives here about noon and as a consequence Wednesday visitors are deprived of doing any banking business-and are unable to do business in any of the stores during the holiday season. The resuit is that the residents of that- section are doing most of their business in Orono. A prominent resident of Elizaibethvil1e told the Guide that un- less some d ferent arrangements were miade that bank accounts would be trans- ferred te, Otono and the bulk of ail thý- business along the C N. R. would go t0 Orono. This is a serious stuation and one that should receive the imrnediate at- tention of our Board of Trade.
