RABIES PREVALENT Rabies are said to be quite prevalent throughout Ontario just now, and in some sections of the Province a quarantine for dogs has been declared. There are no less than twenty-four people in Kingston under treatment in the hospitals there and the situation is quite serious nearer home in South Hastings. Better keep the dogs, shut up for a time as a mea of precaution in Colborne. It's always better to be sure than sorry. NEW CONSTABLE APPOINTED Mr. Noble, who has been a cheese-maker in the vicinity of Picton, has been appointed inspector under the Ontario Liquor Control Act in the Counties of Norhumiberland and Durham. There is only one Provincial Constable for the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham, and with two of the largest Counties in the Province to look after, it has decided by Provincial Headquarters to palce an officer to assist Constable Storey in these Counties. According to officers, bootleggers and homebrew-ers have pretty well given up operations in these Counties, and the Liquor Control Act is being fairly well observed, most of those who have, been contravening the terms of Act being now out of business through having been brought before the cc and their business stopped through terms in gaol or heavy fines.

Send your news in early, s there is always a great deal of last linute rush just before publication. last session of Percy Township rcil a resolution was passed to abolish statute labor in the Town- - J. A. Ellis, director of the Bureau of Municipal Affairs, has been appointed by the Ontario Government to survey the province, and obtain data as to the number of persons over the age of seventy years, who would be eligible for old age pensions. He will first send out a circular request to municipal councils, asking that the assessors be instructed to prepare such information on the subject as may be available to them. In sections of the province where there Is no municipal organization, special provision will be made to obtain the information. By beginning the survey at once, the Government feels assured that the reports will be completed in time next fall to permit of legislation being submitted to the Legislature. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature of New Bruswick by the Provincial Minister of Public Works prohibiting the erection of advertising billboards of any kind along the highways of the Province. It is felt that such advertising not only detracts from the value of the official high-,way markings, but diverts the attention of drivers of motor vehicles away from their duties, as well as marring the roadside beauty. The countryside <S not improved by the erection of these exotic productions of the urban mind. Canada has a wonderful heritage in the beauty of her green meadows, hills, trees, flowers, brooks and riv-eiis; and we should endeavour to protect the purity of the landscape against the defamation that billboard artists would soon achieve.

Sharkey lunged and swung a right \ip-percut from his heels. Delaney went down as if hit by an axe, - rolled j over and squirmed in agonized fashion [ '•cm his face. Blood poured from his mouth and one ear. They picked the fallen boxer up and carried him to hie corner, dead to the world, while I the "roar of the crowd reverberated; to the rafters."
