Finally, the plea that Kingston's general rate of taxation Is high, if 'its school rate is low, suggests the question: why should schools and school teachers suffer that lower ob- jects be exploited? SOME VERY GOOD SHOTS Among the Boys Who Are Attending Public Schools. Judging by the exhibits given to the members of the Board of Educa- tion at their meeting. on Wednesday night there are some very good rifle shots among the boys who are at- tending the public schools. Trustee Macnée had the exhibits brought to the Board of Education, 80 as show the trustees what the boys are doing, and out of the col- lection there was & large number of bulls-eyes shown. The boys like the Work, and as a whole are making good progress in their shooting. There is no doubt but what some of the youngsters would be able to do a good turn if they could get to the front.

It looks as though Cape Vincent would have an Odd Fellows' Tem- ple. At the last meeting of Brother- ly Union Lodge No. 865, 1.O.OF,, it was decided to purchase property owned by Mrs, Thomas Holland. The Odd Fellows have long talked of building a temple and now that a site has been purchased it looks as though their hopes would be realiz- ed. The site acquired is located in the central part of the village. The building to be erected will be an imposing structure. As the Cape is in need of an opera house it is planned to fit the firet floor into an up-to-date play house, with inclining floor and a commodious stage. It is thought possibly that the building will be of concrete or brick. Lodge THE SQUIRRELS ARE OUT. Unfailing Sign of Mild Weather Say the Prophets.
