What's become of the enthusiastic gardenerer who used to rush with the finmst fruits of his strawberry patch to the editorial sanctum? Truly this good old custom is fast passing away. It's one of the signs that (makes it increasingly hard to sit still when the preacher insists that the world is getting better. An analysis of automobile registra- tion in Ontario for the last 'year end- ing Dec. 31.1913. shows the number of nutomobiles owned by residents of the province to be 16.458, with a to- tal seating capacity of 78.981. or ac- commodatign for one out of every 33 people in the province, 3,161 are 'ewned in 4rural 'parts and svillages. 1.000 being the property of farmers. An order-in-council has been passed amending the fishery regulations for Ontario in respect to blick bass. mas- kinonge and speckled trout. The sale and export of these game fish is pro- hibited entirely with the exception of allowing any .one from a foreign country fishing under angler's per- mit. to take with him out of the province the catch of two days' fish- ing. : If a town does mot reach after the tirade. it will come only asfast as it fats to. and it will @m as itis forced to. But if the merchants go after business in the surrounding country advertising in every possible way.and making good every word of their ad- vertising trade will come from an ever increasing radius, the town will gain a reputation for being awake and it will forge to the front? There is nothing in this world which improves a town like good side walks. They give strangers a favor able impression 'of a town and they give the thome people satisfaction and 'orfde. When you happen to be © re- turning home ona dark n'ght, doesn') it give "you preat satisfaction if you can 'walk without being in constant danger of. pitching forward and breaking your neck over a loose board or a broken cement block? The head of a large sturgeon is on exhibition in a store front on Front street. Sarnia. the head being about the size of a full grown cow. The fish. which was caught in tha net of R. Soles. Lake Huron shore was about nine feet in length and weighed in the neighborhood of 190 pounds, This is the second very large sturgeon that has been caught at that. point this season. the other fish weighing about 160. When one figures that it 'takes a sturgeon egg twenty years to hatch. and that the fish grow very slow. some idea of the great age of this fish can be ascertained, } Housewives and others who have been in the habit of purchasing weaches grown in the Niagara dis- trict will reecive with disappointment the statement by P, J. Carey. Dom- imjon government packing and orchard demonstrator that the crop there isa failure. "There will be no peaclies. absoluely none." he said, in discussing the conditions. in the peninsula, Mr. Carey stated that he recently inspect- ed orchards in that district and fount that they had been robbed of fruit prospects by the cold wéather during the winter. The .particularly disast- rous period was in the month of Feb- ruary when a mild spell was follow- ed by cold weather. The trade estimates that the sales 'of automobiles for 1914 will agere- gate a total of $60,000,000. And yet some pessimists talk about dull times. It is interesting te note that this im- mense volume of business has been largely built up through the persist- ent advertising linked with consist- ent salesmanship. And more enlight- ening still is the fact that much the larger percentage of automobile ad- yertising is used in the daily pat The pape) "Mr. Herman Mank,. of Waterloo. is spending a week's vacation at the home of Mr. John Schaefer, Miss Ruby and Master Lloyd\Sch- midt. of Tavistock. are visiting their gtandmother.
