THUK8TON Ki.rrou THE WOMAN "FROM MISSOURI" Miss McPliail's voice was heard in tlio House Jar the first tituo on Mon- day of last week, when she asked for lufurmation regardiujj a proposed advance of $SOO in tlio salary of tbe Supervisor of Expeuditurps. Tl.e query, as reported in the House of Commons Debates, was as follows : "Starting wi'li the IOW..T saUrieJ oflic* i iU and goiiiK up iht 1 list, there is hi-' an iucreaso of $40 ; ona of $60 ; and thtee of 8120, the Ust on luinf an'iiicrease from S3, 240 to 83JWO. Then wo huve a rather Urge jump iu the salary of the Sup r>isor of Expenditures, from 4, MO M $5,000 I should like to ask the min- is' or whither^the Supervisor of Ex[><ndi- lures h's any pirticuUrly educntional or technical i|utlifiaatiniH to jmtify thjt increase. \Vht is the cxpimmtinn fir thin junii. ' his8iUry( An increase of 8120 merits i|'.iite reasc n'.ble, but it looks us though it were a case of the h'gher the salary trie higher I ho increase which ia really <juito a familiar i, _ coday." Miss Mcl'liail was quite justilied in di awing attention to this matter. Why should the country he called upon to pay large advances iu salary to oivil servants when all other salar- ies uro on the downward treud'.' Oi:r servants at OtUwti do not appear to be yet seized ol the foot that this country is stru^liug with a load of debt that liaa reached a limit wheio silence has ceased to be a virtue. Every human being in Canada has to pay $10(1 per annum b the govern ment, and this is all pulled through taxation. It is all very well to say we have to pay for the war, but there are ninny other things tbat wo do not have to pay for, and whicb would lighten the 'taxation materially, and dvaneing of civil servant salaries on u falling coat of living is one of tlitm. If this condition continues much longer there will be a whulwind to reap by somebody The country is too sore to put up witli much more ex- travagance by our legislative boclic?. ANNUAL INVKNTORY. Keep a Record of What You Own , and What It Is Worth. Th'? mau on the land can learn much about his own farming opera- tions by taking an inventory each year. No form of record will give so much information about the year's work us will an Inventory properly taken at a definitely fixed date each year. The usual time for taking an Inventory of the farm business is In March, when there la least feed and unsold produce on hand. The In- ventory of any ordinary farm can be taken in a half day. SJD there is no excuse on account of snortaK> of , time. The information gleaned about the farm business through the study made possible by Inventory taking Is worth many times the expenditure of time and effort. For couvenleco in keeping the farm inventory any blank record bo ik with pages wide enough to per- mit spacing for a number of columns ca.i be used, and If ruled to accom- m >date tlie entries for a number of s MI, Secretary, Dopt. of -Agriculture, Toronto, An Vnwcperted Pleasure. One side of the famous Devil's ' Glen was open to the public. The , other side was kept strictly private I by the landlord. An American visitor, ignoring the j notice-boards, was walking up the private side of the glen when he was met by a choleric old gentleman, who shouted, "What do you mean, sir, by trespassing on this property." "Waal," said the American, "It don't makf any difference to you, do it?" "Do you know, sir, that this Is my property?" "Snakes alive!" replied the Amer- ican, affably. "Ef that aren't Inter- eating! I knoo this wus the Devil's Gltm, but I never expected to see the proprietor!" CORN IN STOCK Both whole and cracked. Right prices. GROCERIES A full line of fresh clean groceries always in stock.

Preparedness Have your car overhauled NOW before the Spring rush begins and you wish to go on that motor trip. You will want then to be sure that your car is in first- class mecnanical order. engine brakes tires steering gear wheels wiring springs rear axle transmission And it will be just then that our garage will be most congested and cars will have to wait their turn. If in the case of the battery, ns in that ol the car itself, repairing and overhauling shoulil be done only by those whoso direct interest in and knowledge of its mech- anism guarantees intelligent service. ^^~ The crank case should be drained out, and Hushed with kerosene and a lighter body oil put in. The rear axle and transmission should also be drained and Hush- ed and refilled to the prescribed capacity in eaoh case with gear lubricant.
