SOMETHING WRONG HERE taxed one and a half centa. When he finda it necessary to light his pipe, or whatever he is smolcini;, he must pay two and a half cents on a box of matches. If he wishes to economize and buys a 26c lighter, he oiuat pay a live cent tax." Most smokers will be surprised to realize they contribute so much to the treasury in indirect taxes. LADY BANK (Durham Chronicle) Dovm Montreal way a ruling was recently handed out by the bench that means in effect that even two ceremonies were not enough to wed a Catholic to a Protestant. A Pres- byterian minister performed the marriage ceremony in 1925. A year later the couple were married In a Roman Catholic ceremony. The ruling now says that the first mar- riage was invalid because the cere- mony was performed by a Protestant minister, and the second ceremony was illegal because the first mar- riage had not been dissolved by any court. If this is law, then we would say it is all wrong and we should take steps to correct it. We do not fav- â- or any particular creed having a monoply on marrying. If two people get married, we do not think it makes any difference which minister they have perform the ceremany, or which church the participants happen to belong to. The church may object, and that is within its rights, but it should not interfere with the leg- ality of the ceremony in the eyes of the law. But why a church ceremony, any- way, unless the participants desire it? Why not a justice of the peace, If a man refuses to support his wife, it is the law that makes him pay not the church.

Clark, in Windsor Star) Indirect taxes are supposed to be painless, but they exist just the same. Take the taxes a smoker has to pay. W. K. Eisling, Conservative M.P. for Kootenay West, B.C., gives this quick review of taxation; "Turning to another line of recrea- tion, let us suppose that he wants to light his pipe. If he chooses to smoke he must pay twenty-five cents per pound on his tobacco, and if his choice Is cigarettes he pays from four cents to eleven cents per package.

KENNEDY WE DEUVER TENT CATERPILLAR Now is the time to control tent caterpillars. The whitish webs con- structed by the insects are only too commonly seen on neglected fruit trees and on roadside trees, espec- ially wild cherries. The caterpillars may be readily killed by spraying infested trees with lead arsenate. two pounds to forty gallons of wat- er, or by destroying the tents by hand when the caterpillars are in- side them, which is usually on cloudy days and early in the morning. Burning the nests with a torch ia very effective, but care must be tak- en not to bum the tree. It is possible to destroy thee* tents early and thus save labor and loss of fruit later.
