issue jthethb press completes its fiftyseventh year of publication arid next week commences a new volume anniversaries always bring up memories and this occasion brings up the re membrance that it is just a year go on july 12 that the late h p moore passed away a year has rolled around since the death of this friend who was tsq long associated with the free press and an in fluence in other circles in the guiding of acton along upward lines and what many other changes have also transpired within the year just passed- mr moore set high standards in all bis undertakings and we who have followed in the newspaper work have rrlany times found these standards difficult to main tains wherein we have failed we ask your indul gence for the many kindly words of encourage ment that have seen giverito those who have follow ed in our endeavor to publish a free press for actqn that in some measure comes up to the standards always expected we express our deep appreciation for our years of association with the latej mr moore we are indeed grateful and with the continued co operation of the residents of acton and district and the many kind friends at a distance we will continue to give of our best in maintaining the standards that have characterized the acton free press we take this opportunity of thanking you all for the continued loyalty through a period of difficulty in many ways atrdtnay we bespeak a continuance of this helpfulness in the maintaining of actons newspaper representative and printing establishment a pen picture of county councils there ismucb discussion going on in the press and here and there in publicgatherings respecting the merits and demerits of the system of county councite the winchester press is one that sees the usefulness of these municipal bodies long since passed getting down to brass tacks as the boys say the press continues there js very little real justification for the perpetuation of the county council their deliberations outside of road con struction and collecting taxes to distribute to educa tional institutions are practically nil and could be done just as eas just as efficiently by two or three chronicles of ginger farm written specially for the free fnaa vy a gwendoline 1 oubsx having just completed housecleantng my woimc room i can now proceed to work in it i i couldnt before because ii i tried to do anything all i could think about was how badly the- room wontect cleaning but now its done all except the trills ol which there are very few so i can at feast sit in it and write or darn or sew i was particularly generous with the disinfectant so it has a nice clean hospital- kind of smell of course the door is open and through it i have a lovely view of the prettiest comer ofj the farm i can hear partner mowing and at the other end of the field our man is colling hay nearer to home i see hens and chickens picking their way the mother hens are doing some t renziqd scratching and the little chicks are try ing to emulate their example once upon a time we used to speak of any farmer who was hard up as having to scratch like an old hen to make a living now 1 believe it should be the other way round if we want to descrbe a good hen we might say she scratches for her living as hard as a thrifty farmer the other night i went to hear miss agnes macphail for the first time ir respective- of politics i always like to hea a good speaker and miss macphail was certainly fluent witty and most in teresting but alasl not so very enlight ening or encouraging in fact i came away with my impression confirmed that while the farmer does the scratch ing there is always somebody else along to pick up the worms however miss macphail did explain very satisfactorily the why and wherefore of the gold standard and since i heard her speak it has really begun to percolate my intelli gence as to what the gold standard really is but i hope i never have to explain it i thank goodness there are other things to think about besides the imperial con ference i know it is frightfully im portant and i am sure we shall watch for the result with the keenest lntertetf t i anarchy in time arid we use the heading advisedly because webster in his volume of words describes anarchy thus absence of government the state of law where there is no supreme power absence of regulating power in any sphere confusion or dis order in general and frankly doesnttthat just aborotr describe the present condition of affairs local ly regarding the observance of standard or daylight saving time according to bylaw we must keep our side walks shovelled in the winter and our dogs tied up in the summer the matter of building in the com munity is regulated by bylaw and business is to a certain extent protected by enactment of municipal bylaw the barber shops are closed at certain hours by bylaw and every year we are assessed for taxes by a certain bylaw with every one of these bylaws a certain penalty is provided for nonobservance then along comes another bylaw by the council adopting daylight saving time for the community we may not agree with the enactment it is num bered signed and sealed in the same manner as the other bylaws a notice of its adoption is published in the usual course and citizens are requested to comply with its requirements there is no punish ment if it isnt complied with like the taxes the dogs and the other bylaws some of us do not like this bylaw and since there is no penalty why observe it meetings are held at confusing times the factory whistles blow at one hour and the town clock announces another hour behind that time 1 may seem a harsh word to use but it is nothing more orlcwthan a state of anarchy as defined in the opening paragraph r personally we feel that the question in acton has been given very fair treatment many communities adopt daylight saving time for five months in the year we have always felt that the period wajftoo long there are advocates on both sides of the question and situated as acton is in close proxim ity to all ofher towns that have adopted this time itjs but fair that some ground should be given by both parties and the council has taken the middle capable men either at the county town or toronto candidly speaking a weeks session of the county council is from a business point of view a picnic for those who enjoy it and a farce so far as any real benefit to the county is concerned as a matter of fact most county councils are- controlled by half a dozen clever wirepullers who know when to slack and when to tighten their hold the man who goes to county council with independent and progressive views has as much chance of being successful in carrying out ins ideals as agnes macph has of upsetting the government keep in touch with the bunch if you want to getany thing throughand dont grouch if you find that the bunchhave put one over on you when ourfrienov the editor of dthe press evidently is in the know respecting the practice and procedure in county councils stand in it says which under the cir cumstances seems to be good advice though contra to the theory that public business is disposed of according to the best interest of

astronomer sun spots have a profound effect on the cost of living in an official bulletin on tho subject it is stated that farm crops fin canada grains hay and potatoes show on the average greater yields at the sunspot mnimum than at the maxi mum in accord with the higher tempera tures andrgreater precipitation occurring on the average at sunspot minimum these fluctuations and those in other forms of life exert a great influence on economic conditions and it is consequent ly not surprslng to find the elevenyear sunspot cycle these fluctuations in the physical elements which contrpl giving conditional are great enough in some regions to affect profoundly all forms of life microorganisms insects birds animals plants and even fish andf in consequence economic conditions records kept in manitoba since 1895 when examined in the light of the sun spot cycle show the relationship be tween the rise and fall in the number of sun spots and the maximum and minimum of grasshoppers ruffed and

think i should go grey in the night if i tried to understand the half of iti t t in the meantime there is the country sometimes i wonder what it is i like best about the country but i never can decide

to its loveliness theother daywe rwereout for a tide and we passed field after field of sweet scented clover sometimes we could see it sometimes we couldnt but always we knew it was there and then came a different perfume oh what is it i cried and stopped the car on either side of the road was a dense bush and in striking contrast to the pines and firs there against the fence was a lovely bush of pnk briar rose it was a picture and of course it was also responsible for the delightful perfume for such plea sures we are increasingly thankful to the optimist because besides being a very useful means of conveyance it also has the ability to bring us new joy each time we take it out but for perfume we do not rieed to leave the farm there is quite a variety right where we are the delicious smell of fresh cured hay heliotrope and roses in the garden and best of all sweet scented honeysuckle i am quite delight ed with my honeysuckle creeper it is sweet smelling uncommon and revives memories of days that can never return there were many- places in england where honeysuckle grew wild and be cause my mother was so fond of it i used to walk many miles in search of it how pleased she would be even if i were only able to find her just a small bouquet and so because my mother was found of it i ti ensure my twoyearold root of honey suckle last year it was too small to flower but ths year i watched with delight first the wealth of buds and then its opening- into full bloom what an added joy there is in a garden when each plant is dear to us by association plants that are given to us are so much more interesting than those we buy from a nursery flowers at any time are lovely but there seems to me to be some thing so intimate so delightfully inform al in remembering our friends by flowers that bloom sometimes it happens that a root or a plant has been given to us by someone who has since passed on then it is that we treasure its floners anew and as time passes it maj be that it brings to us a message which is only possible through the medium of flowers how true it is a garden is a love- some thng god wot s another weekly newspaper has found difficulties in maintaining its
