THURSTON, - Editor GREY LOSE8 ONE SEAT BDnt>HIAL NOl'ES The Ontario Legristature prorog- ued at an early hour on Good Friday morning. There waa lively eleventh hour debating with reference to the 4.4 per cent beer amendment to the Ontario Temperance Act, and the in«asure for the redistribution of aeatt, but both bills became law in accordance with the Premier's decree. Toronto benefit.<< in the redistribution by an addition of five members, and Windsor, Hamilton, Ottawa find York County (adjoiningr Toronto) each get an additional member. To make room for these nine ridings in the country are abblished, viz..

In- stead of an increase it would have been better to cut down the mem- bership by fifteen ir twenty.

Of the total population of Canada â€" 8,788,- 483 â€" It is found that 1,955,736 were immigrants. The British born were 5448 per cent, and that nationality contributed more of the population than all other nationalities combined, except during the war years, 1915 to 1918. In that period 35 pea- cent, of the new comers were British, and of The Dominion Finance Department officially reports for the past year a reduction In the net debt of Canada of $9,191,372.

KAITTING, Auctioneer. To the Editor of the Advance: In your paper of April 30th 1924, one year ago, I noticed a write-up re ' the Flesherton Cemet«ry, which I thought wai well worthy of notice and during this time no person has made reply. In going through and passing by the Flesherton Cemetery I have often wondered why a cemetery located in such a pretty spot as this one Is, could not be made a place of b-eauty without a great deal of ex- pense. This is the ast resting-place ' of oUr dear departed ones; and why I not let us club together and try to im- I prove it and make it a place for us ' all to be proud of; â€" not ashamed. I Our sister towns and villagas have taken the matter up and improved the I cemetery and employed a caretaker â€" ' why not us ? ! Just stop for one moment and re- alize the number of plot holders. If each one would give a small sum each yeai- see. the difference. This would emrJoy a caretaker at a very good sal4ry, and the plots as they are to- day would soon be made a place of bciuty. Why not start a list in aid of the Flesherton Cemetery, to im- prove the grounds and repaint the fence? â€"OBSERVER "A LETTER FROM HOME" Dear Editor:; Another year has gone and I must send you the subscription before you say we are no good and stop the Advance and we would not have you do that. We look forward every weetk like looking for a letter from home. It is fine out here and al- though we had two inches of snow in December it was away by noon the next day. It has never got down to zero since we came here and I am planting our potatoes to-day. We have onions lettuce, and pease up. The flowers are in' bloom with the ex- ception of the late varieties. I read ' Herb Nell's letter from Florida aand I would sooner have the climate here than in California or Florida either.
