british authorities beautifying rural school groiinds with all the picturesqucness of tho usual sur rounding landscape with all tho well tilled farms and beautiful farm residences and with all tho

higherups among the violators of tho ontario tr this actrsincer tho enactment railway crossing warnings to motorists commissioner frederick stuart green of the new york state commission of highways has directed the use of a distinctive method of marking roadways at all approaches to railway crossings which merits tho attention of every similar organization ap proaching the tracks from either direction of the highway the automobilist will first be confronted by two wide parallel strips pa in tad one foot wide and placed five feet apart these strips will stretch clear across the pavement and will be placed 230 feet from tho nearest track the second guard against carelessness will be a third warning strip also one foot wide painted 125 feet from the nearest track the third and last chance given the driver to save himself will be a final warning in the shape of a signal two feet wide painted with white and black diagonal bars similar to the markings on railroad guard gates and it will be located twentyfive feet from the nearest tracks which if the driver is not running beyond the legal rate of speed will give him an opportunity to stop beforo crossing the track a valuable asset to the community ithe canadian printer and publisher for august adds this muchappreciated compliment to the large number already offered this journal upon passing another milestone the acton free press has en- toted upon its fortyninth year under the present editor in some respects it is ontarios model local paper says the oshawa telegram we sometimes wonder if the people of acton and vicinity appreciate what a valuable asset they have in the free paess it is one of tho few country weeklies we carry home for our wife to read cqncjudes thu telegram jthe editor of the free press h p moore is to be con gratulated upon the high regard entertained by his fellowpublishers in respect to this excellent publica tion to be sure it is among the leaders in tho weekly field whether speaking of canada or the united 1 the newlyconstructed roads are not permanent it looks as if thero was faulty construction in the county roads which have been built from time to time in the county of halton the new roadway con structed between acton and the foot of the mountain on the second line is already badly disintegrated and in places the new broken stone has been thrown out by the traffic down tq the face of the old roadbed experienced road builders attribute the existing con ditions to oneor more of three causes too thin a coating of fine stone to make a proper binding lack of water during tho process of rolling or insufficient rolling with the steam roller to insure perfect con solidation in any event thero are many places on the newlybuilt road where the tho road is already as badges when the work was commenced last springs the- section between acton and the town line at tho brick church which was built last year and which appeared to be a firatujass road when com pleted is going the same way while the road on tho base line between hornby and miltpn which was constructed two years ago is now also in badcon- ditlon another reason for the stone roads failure in tho matter pt permanency is the failure oo the part of the good roads committee of our county council to give aufflcieirt attention to maintenance a competent man and team permanentiy employed could patrol the county road from acton to milton repairing each weak apof as it appeared and keep the road in gjood condition whue the cost of such control would be a considerable outlay jt would save thousands of dollars in repairs and at thesame time assure a degree of permanency which woufd bevcry coramendlble the county council learned tnojeasop of the cost ofmalntcnance ten or twelve years ago unfortunately their successors have not prpflttad measure there has been evidence over and over again that brewers and distillers were unlawfully supplying liquor to purchascrsbut ithas generally been

united states a novel plan is suggested tho american farm bureau fedevation proposes to withdraw two hundredmillion bushels of tho current wheat crop store it on farms or in cooperative elevators and finance the affair by means of money made available by the new intermediate credit act farm bins would be designated as bonded warehouses by tho govern ment and the farmer through tho credit system could borrow up to threequarters of tho value of his wheat which he could hold until prices advanced to a satisfactory point tho president of tho federa tion thinks the plan would raise the price of wheat to 140 to si 50 a bushel thero would bo some danger however that the rise in price would lead to planting more instead of less wheat and conse quently to a still larger surplus next year until
