This | leaves many of the most valuable | bird species, which protect growing crops against insects, without - pro- | tection. \ Owing to the lack of pro-' per statutes in some States, the pot | hunters can now go out for bird pie | t- lat the cost of the people at large. The American people should at once remedy the fault found in this' law. Birds are the greatest protec- | tion the farmers have for the safety of their crops from ipsect pests. er p-------- DEMANDING REDRESS. The public mind is being quickly educated to the point of demanding | redress and satisfaction from those ! who cause fire by carelessness and culpable neglect A report fas reached the 'Ontario fire marshal o a fire which occurred in 4 boarding house in Copper Cliff. The fire started in a bedroom on the third who oecupied this room '"'dropping fire from his pive." The building and contents were valued at $7.- 000, and were insured for $5,000. Fortunately the fire was put out at its iIncipiency after causing a loss of only $20. The interesting part of the report is in the. last four words, "he paid all "damages,' 2 It would thus appear that this careless roomier was taught his lesson and in future will be more careful whore he throws his matches or drops liv fire from his pipe. LET KINGSTON RESPOND! It ithe returned soldiers; dre not dgreed upon the merit<of all war or- ganizations working in their inter- ests, there is one al least that al agree upon, and that ds the Salvation Army, which has done such magnifi- cent, For Cn the war zone and out of it, and up to the present has made no general appeal' for aid to continue' its work for. the soldiers until air overseas are settled once mere in civil life. The Army is asking for $1,000,000 from Canada, and Kings- ton's share ds being placed at $10,- 000. Su the citizens will over- subBeripf this amount. The Army is plan for a splendid work during 'the d lization period and its members are specially qualified to establish personal sympathetic ro- lations with the homes of the return- ed soldiers.

The ' Woeod- stock Sentinel-Reviéw raises the question: Did they complete {romance or spoil it? The novelists wil: have it that the romance is not complete without . marriage. Di- | vorce courts, police courts and oth- er courts bear testimony that mar- riagé Very offen robs complete the romance in the sense of ending it. It is true that in some of the world's greatest romances there was no marriage. Would Dante have im- mortalized Beatrice ff" he had been allowéd to marry her? f{rarch have sung his heart out to his Laura if their romance had taken the ordigary course of engagement and marriage? Op the other hand, there are many natable instances! where marriage but continued and. | heightened the romance of the early love. The love-swory of Robert Browning and Elizabeth * Barrett would have lacked the best and most interesting part of it without the marriage, All_of which shows that there is no infallible gule.
