certain honest men have been unsuccessf ulwhite -the-un- scrupulous have gone ahead but if the honest man had been as industrious and fatseeing as his com petitor the results would have been different do not take it for granted that because you are high- principled it is up to fate to give you all things worth having integrity is important to be sure but it is only one of the necessary factors in

league continues its move to do away with all moderation its latest issue of new business seems to voice the complaint that one can not get intoxicated sufficiently under the l c a the query naturally arises just how inebrated would a moderation intoxication be to satisfy the aims of this group of wets a recent circular letter sent out by the moderation league has requested a minimum guaranteed monthly subscription of 15 from each hotelman t6 further the efforts of this body this is in preparation for preparing the case of the modera tion league to be submitted to the government for the sale of beer and wine in hotels it would appear that the moderation league would never be satisfied until the days ox the old open bar return and every one could get as immoderately drunk as they pleased the liquor control sale is just the thin edge of the wedge the moderation leagues ambition is now toward greater sales the sheet that seems to be mostly edited by mr home smith should have been entitled more business instead of new business and its sole aim given as more revenue and business for the liquor interests and a greater cropof drunk ards why not from time to time we have commented on the improvement that has been made in acton park the last few years every effort put forth in this place has amply repaid the investment with the entrance and grounds now in good condition attention might be given to some work at the western limit of the f grounds in the portion known as the point here with a little work and judiciously spent money a picnic grounds of unsurpassed beauty could be con structed in the course of a few years the ground requires some filling and levelling the brush requires some thinning out and possibly a cement retaining wall would be necessary without a doubt afew more trees woul be necessary i but what a spot it could be developed into with a fewyears of welt planned community effort more trees are required at other spots in the park and if the next generation is going to see the benefit of these they should be planted now by the present generation who are now enjoying the foresight of others who selected this fine grounds for actons park and

discussed and yet little understood in local circles it is doubtful whether half the mer chants are fully conversant with what constitutes the transient trader and for this reason a recent leam ington ase is of interest a town bylaw of leam ington classifies the transient trader as those whose names have not been entered on the assessment roll the revised statutes of ontario however rule that transient traders are those whose names are not on the assessment roll or who are entered on it for the first time the above case which was tried before magistrate smith at windsor placed on record a decision that should be of interest locally the magistrate ruled that the transient trader is one who has not resided in the municipality for three months before beginning businessjrie imposed a fine of 10 and costs of 5 on complaint that a transient traders license had not been taken out the merchant began business on may 3 and on may 25 his name was placed on the assessment roll by the leamington court of revision there can be no hardship in re quiring transient traders to take out a license if hey are acting in good faith and remain in business fhe moneyrequired for the license is applied on taxes and the transient does not lose if it were not for this safeguard all orts of flybynights would be bob- bingup the-merchant-who-stay3jntowjiyear-jn- and year out and pays his taxes is

left before the threshers come in tor their meal then time speeds by like a flash but- if you happen to be two minutes early for youroppointmeat at the dentists did you ever know two minutes to seem sd interminable or if you cant sleep at night each minute has leaden weights and when the doctor says the crisis will come in five days how long then is time but supposing you go to the garden and

telephone and that milk which would have taken fifteen minutes to boil had you stayed and watched it is up and ovar the stove before you can say hullo and goodbye i was thinking all this the other morn ing as i powdered the potatoes with bug poison there was a very heavy dew that morning such as we often get in the fall and the fact suddenly came home to me that summer is almost at an end and i thought where has the time gone and then again i wondered has it been put to the best advantage you know there are not many of us who vrijfully waste money we may not always spend it wisely but generaly we get fair returns for what we lay out but can we say the same about time money we can earn given the opportunity or we can speculate and lose or gain ac cording to the stock market or we may even have it bequeathed to us by an all- jkisereatixebut no rme can glvff m time yet time is of even greater im portance than money doesnt it often happen that we would give all we possess to make use of the neglected opportuni ties that time gave to us in years gone by so often we hear he expression i didnt have time or i havent got time it is reajly only begging the question we have each one of us got all the time there is haw we use it depends upon what value we set upon it and tf we have been trained to make use of it to the best advantage a busy persons day is much like a jigsaw puzzle there are so many pieces and if put together correctly make a com plete picture bu if there i one piece missing that is neglected work or pieces jumbled together through lack of system then the whole picture is out of harmony dont think i am moralizing for that is far from my intention as i know most people put their time to better advant age than i do i am really just talking to myself reading myself a curtain lee ture as it were because sometimes i get really frightened ah the passing of time there are days when i am just running after myself from daylight to dark days when the parts of my jigsaw puzzle simply wont fit in and i know that it is no ones fault but my own however the fore pairt of this week i did not have to jsproacfi myself with laziness as we were busy getting in the wheat and i was helping in the mow which means the housework and cooking were done in between loads molly was also doing her share but she seemed to think it was more fun than work it is queer how you get used to things when we were taking off the first load i thought i would nevir be able to go on with it the sheaves were so tangled and heavy but after awhile it got easier and i was as anxious as the men to see the wheat in the barn before rain came again we finished on tuesday at five p m and that same night there was an awful heavy rain so of course it was particularly comforting to know

enough potatoes in almost every backyard plot to last the winter for one family and such large quantities of apples that many of them went to rot this year potatoes have got to be taken care of if we want to fill up our bins for winter as for winter apples well we cant take care of what we havent got and who has got apples everywhere ypu hear the same story there are no apples on our trees at all
