The 'member for South Leeds, John R. Dargavel, eulogized the work tthat was being accomplished by, the Good Roads Association. He confessed that, although he had some interest in the betterment, he had not taken an active part in the move- ment. Nevertheless, he 'was ' sure that the efforts of the association had been prdductive of many benefits and felt confident that no other body had done more work to' secure better highways. - Hé stated that the de- partment of highways had in consid- eration the construction of a provin- prove a paying venture, but this ex-} the experiment had been tried out!"

McLean, Deputy Minister of Provincial Highways, was the next speaker, and his remarks were punctuated with frequent rounds of applause as he ouflined the plans of the Government. "I recall a previous visit to your town," said Mr. McLean in part, "when I spoke on the good roads movement, 1 distinctly remember the enthuslasm at that time, and 1 don't believe I have ever observed so much enthusiasm as in this town, I am sure that it still exists, and I can assure you that you will be counted famous for your good roads Lin the near future. 'In spite of the many calls that of neceskity must come in wartime, there has been improvement in som of these highways, largely through the co-operation of the municipali= ties. The time for lack of Interest in good roads has passed away because of the numerofs-cars that have been | bought, and you will all experience in the future the blessing of good roads: Roads are necessary to pro- gress, materially and socially, and, as Canada is destined to be a great country, we can make no greater mis- take than to neglect our highways, +*It is intimated that the provin- cial authorities have rimined on a substantial provision Tor highways in the future. This provincial high- way will extend from Windsor on the west to the border of Quebec on | the .east; with a branch to Ottawa and perhaps to Hamilton and Nidgara Falls.

He stated that it would take some time to organize the work but that the province would be proud of its roads in the future, Considerable . interest centred around Hon. George 8. Henry, the newly appointed ~Linister of Agricul- ture. He is a forceful speaker and has an appearance commanding re- spect akin to admiration. He com- mently, briefly, upon the difficulties in the way of road improvement in wir time, but stated that he was looking for their development with the cousequedt betterment of the people generally. During the evéting the Citizens' band gave a number of pleasing se- lections and the meeting closed with the singing of the national anthem. { \ sis + TALKED WITH < KING AND QUEEN. Mrs. G, A.

This is a radical departure from ordinary military work and will be carried out in co-operation with the various colleges, but means simply that the army will pick out enough promising young men to en-! stire the ranks &f the Army Medien) .and Army Dental Corps being k up to strength, and will ing kypt | their education along these lines. And at the end, if the men make! good, there will be commissions! awaiting them. : | A Popular Verdict. | Renfrew Journal | Recently at Napanee, Judge Lavell gave a popular decision in a case tried before him, The action was in brief that a milk drawer named Walsh, was passing along a 'highway town of Fredericksburg and the hdrse he was driving died later tom the éffects of over-exertion in en- deavoring to haul a load of milk over the boundary road. Judge Lavell awarded the owger of the horse full damages of $175 and costs in the ace tion were assessed against the town- ships. Judge Lavell in giving judg- ment commented upon the penny- wise-and-pound-foolish policy of mu- nigipalities in not keeping their roads in proper repair, and further intimat- ed that it might bea proper case for preferring an indictment against both corporations for their persistent neglect to perform their duty with respect to roads. The judgment should have a salutory effect in these counties, A lot of money is gent on good roads and 'that ends the duty of the counties or townships, No pro- vision is made for the upkeep. It is high time that some reasonable sys: tem was adopted for the upkeep of roads or else the money is largely wasted. Eadies' Hats For 98c.
