at hidr doorfl kansas has r new law that authorizes the counties of the stale to establish libraries that can be brought directly to the houses of tha ncoplc a count that takes advantage of the act will maintain a central station at the county scat from which once a week motor cars fitted with the necessary shelving for bookflteiuyisillho brunch statio in the various rural communities leave at each one a supply of books and pick up those that have been read the cars will also leave books and magazines at farm houses that they pass on the road the travelling library is not of course an entirely new idea but it has never had such generous support by state law as is proposed in kansas it is expected that almost every county in the state will take advantage of the act this enterprising state s action is worthy of emulation by other state and provinces i waste galore a surprising statement was made by the chief grain inspector at winnipeg the other day when he said that enough weed seed to fill a freight train 48 miles lorig had been shipped out of tho three prairie provinces during tho last three years this at a time when tho cost of production of crops was at its highest point seed implements and farm help wea high yet the farmers grew this weed seed bar- vested it threshed it at a cost proportionate to that of the highest quality of grain afterwards shipping and paying tho freight on it to market where ow ing to the presence of tho weed seed tho grade of the wheat was lowered further when these 48 miles of grain cars were being used to ship weed seed there was an almost universal demand for cars which could not be satisfied clean seed cultivation to kill the weeds and the cleaning of grain before shipment will overcome such waste thrift one of tho most practical appeals sent out during tho ontario governments clean up week was tho very sane and logical circular letter sent out by john butherland sons the insurance men of gaelph the following aro tho salient features of this appeal a standard dictionary of the english language pre pared by more than two hundred specialists and other scholars gives as one meaning of tho word thrift care and prudence in tho management of ones re sources wo arc taking advantage of the ontario government s clean up week to draw the attention of our friends to tho greatest handicap thrift has in this country aftjj miaol the appalling are waste in canada compared with its population many people are thrifty by nature but as a nation wo cannot bo considered thrifty so long as wo continue indifferent to our alarming firo waste fire insurance is a commerical necessity but it does not reproduce every fire is a national loss that reflects adversely sooner or later on our tax rate and our balance of trado with other countries our suggestion is that every manufacturer merchant and householder should vjsit every nook and corner of his or her establishment this safety first week in company with his superintendent or caretaker and adopt i standard of cleanliness and order that must be main tained systematically throughout the year system cleanliness and order will safeguard property from are increase production improve the standard of our goods and best of all educate the careless ones along the lines of national thrift and consequently pros perity 1tw way of the transgressor is hard or a brief spaco of time somo men may defy tho laws or gad and man but tho end invariably comes and usually comes quickly this is tho un happy experience of tho quartetto of bandits who terrorized toronto for a fow weeks and lived high on their ill gotten gains to day two of them are in the shadow of tho hangman a nooso and their two companions have gone to kingston penitentiary for long periods tho judge in posslngsontenco said organized society dbes not tolerate conduct such as yours wrongdoing doe3 not pay it is opt worth while the brief day or banditry and bravado is at an end tho time for accounting has come indeed it la tho providence journal which it will bo reraem bored was a foremost factor in discovering and showing up the operations of tho german propagan dists on this continent during the war gives somo good advice to the united states diplomats 1 is time it notes for our notewriting to germany ic stop tho berlin strategists aro up to their old game of 1016 17 they arc trying once more to array us against tho allies they involved us before wo entered tho war in a long correspondence which led onothing buf exasperation and disillusionment on our part and theirs we ought to have lesried our lesson then certainly there is no excuse for us to go on indefinitely now as if we had never had such an experience with this most faithless and treacherous of nations no fault like thb in lulton aro we thankful enough that wo live in a district where a good quota of bush and undergrowth has been left so that wild flowers and game still prevail in somo quantity ideas of this kind are brought sharp ly to mind by a wail like the following from a southern exchange the retreat and disappearance of tho wild flowers boforo the march of civilization have been noted everywhere wo suppose thous ands of folks who do not consider themselves old can recall spots or nooks where in their childhhod wild- flowers grow luxuriantly but now are never seen the encroachment of tho towns upon the country sides the farmjng conquests on wild lands tho cut ting off of forests and the thoughtless vandalism of old and young aro driving out the floral aborigines very much as the indians in their earlier turn were driven out organized wild flower conservation is getting a tardy start but perhaps it is not too late to save and harbor in safe asylums or sanctuaries the surviving remants of that flowering host which perfumed and beautlbcd the land in a past not yet remote t jv wok up to our n in the discussion of canadas fuel situation a week or two ago tho house of commons got down to

ontario legislature did a good stroke of business ho says not only for itself but for all other elective bodies when it com pelted a london man to go to toronto and answer in person for certain sensational charges of venality made by him boforo tho municipal council of london reflecting very seriously on tho honor of members of the provincial legislature compelled to make good or eat his
