THURSTON, • Editor THE E.VTHQUAKE .\ND LAKE LEVELS EDiTUKIAL NOTES Canada and the States of the ad- joining republic, which haVe for some time been engaged in a fijfht to con- serve the natural level of the Great Lakes, have won out in the contest to restrict Chicago in it.s endeavor to unduly divert the waters of Lake Michipan to the Mississippi River in order that her stwuge disposal sys- tem mitflil be continued and main- tained. The United States authori- tii'S have intimated to Chicago that the quantity of water hitherto divert- ed by her shall be considerably ro- duced, and that she shuU immediately begin operations to provide a sewagre disposal plant that will enabl.? her in ten years to enitirely reVnove any grievance existing. Thus the waters of the Great Lakes will be maintain- ed at their natural height, and navi- gation on th2 St. Lawrence River, essential to the prosperity of the Western States, as well as Canada, will not be menaced. It has been a tough fight, but right has prevail- ed. A watchful eye mil, however, have to be kept on the grasping Chicagoans, for they have complied with the decision of the authorities at Washington with a far from com- placent mien. Meanwhile Chicago is being given some comfort by the declaration of neighboring scientists regarding the recent earthquake. Those savants over the border, on the shores of the Great Lakes, unite in stating tha^ the shake which alarmed many H few days ago was a natural adjust- ment of the earth's surface caused by internal contraction which is shoving the earth's crust in these regions up in a north and south slant. They aver that after a few hundred years, if Chicago is patient, she will have the water she requires for her drainage and sewag? canal by the assistance of these repeated tilts, and that, in all probability, after 10,000 years or so, the waters of the lakes may be turned to the southwest by way of Illinois, and Niagara Falls may be a dry promotory! The wiseacres are very kind to postpone the developments to a time that is not caluclated to alarm the present generation. A HEALTHFUL PRACTICE A ijood traffic rule in life's journey ij â€" keep to the rijcht. • • * • The radio, like the baby, perforuw best after the company has left. • • « * The country is all right. It is only man that is vile. â€" John 'MiUar, M. P. for QuAppelle. • • '• • There will soon be opportunity to experiment as to the strength of the 1.1 per cent, beer, to be legalized by the Ferguson Government. The Ontario legislators have voted by a large majority in favor of the sale of the new liquid. • * * * The Prince of Wales will add to his popularity by the action he has taken reo?ntly in disposing of some of the wool from the sheep on his ranch in Alberta. Recently the larg- est woollen mill in Canada (that at Hespeler, Ont.) received a consign- ment of wool from the royal ranch, which went through the usual pro- cesses of manufacture and was turn- ed into cloth. The Prince selected a grray from the samples submitted, and it is intimated will have a suit made from it, to b? worn on his en- suing tour. We beg to nominate the heir apparent leader of the "Made in Canada" movement. • * * • ' Welland is another Ontario county to conserve its agricultural welfare by reforestation. Last year, under the leadership of the County Board of Agriculture 27,000 trees were set out. This spring, arrangem.9nts are being made for a reforestation week, when it is intended to ask for united action to plant 50,000 trees. There can be no more worthy movement. When shall we see a similar move- ment in Grey County? MA.\ AND WOMAN More sickness results from respir- atory diseases in the first three months of the y«ar than in all the remaining months combined. A medical expert therefore councils that strict care should be taken of colds, in order that pneumonia may be avoided. Best of all care should be taken not to catch cold. This means keeping away from sick folks â€" especially coughing and sneezing people. Plenty of fresh air and sunshine are the best kind of medi- cine. Exercise out-of-doors cures a great many ills â€" Physical and mental. And rematnber fresh air does not need to be limited to the out-of-doors. Partially open win- dows day and night will mak3 the house a healthful home insteail of a hot-house t«i breed sickness.

To go through with such a progressive program, borrowing money to cover initial costs is usually necessary. Securing a loan of this kind is a simple matter for farmers of sound character. All that is required is an interview with the local branch manager of the Bank of Toronto. He will be glad to listen to your problems, give advice, and lend every reasonable financial assistance in his power. Consult the branch manager of the Bank of Toronto to-day. ~BANK«'10R0NT0 [U^AXCHES rave rsh am Markdale G. Noble, balance on snow plow $25; ' deceased and Alex Cameron. The S. E.

The commencement of the holiday •eason is May and will continue ♦*> the end of .September. This w.ii done by Flesherton last year while most of the towns held Wednesday as their day of rest. It was a mos* succe.isful affair and averyon.^ wa.'t in praise of the past summer wh?n the half holidays were inaugurated and are looking fi .-ward to tha cjn- tinuance of them t'lis summei; si^ason whsn half a day will be aken from I can't figger out to save my life why soma wimmen just naturally al- ways take everything pussonel. The other night Josephine and me wuz settin' one on each side of the lamp as peaceful like as you please and all of a sudden she bust right out loud laughing and she looked at me over the top of her paper with that "now- I've-go-a-good-one-on-you" expres- sion on her face and she read me this: "Scientific investigation proves th3 ingredients of a man are: Fat enough for a bar of laundry soap. Iron enough for two nails. Sugar enough to fill a teacup. Lime enough to whitewash a chick- en coop. Phosphorous for a box of matches. Potassium enough to explode a toy pistol. Sulphur enough to rid a dog of his fl;as. But all this junk can be bought at any corner drug store for 89 cents." Well, whenever Josephine sees humor in a silly piece like that I don't agree with her; I just retir: with dig- nity. Now I retired all right, but I couldn't sleep, and purty soon, the answer come to me as a natural in- spiration, 'and I got up and told her gently that I had at last analyzed the subject of woman as men had be-m trying to do ever since the world began. "Woman," I said, "has been proved to contain â€" Starch enough to be all stuck up with herself. Brass enough to butt in anywhe^re. Gall enough to t^mbitter the sweet- est male disposition. Paint enough for an Italian sunset. Powder enough to blow up a dread- nought. Perfume enough to gas a regiment. All of which can be had in any deparment store for 32 cents." The n?xt morning I got my owm breakfast. â€" "Farmer Putnam."
