5 [ J It was shown that there are in the immediate vicinity of the city and within trading distance between 3500 _‘ and 4000 gardeners, and the suggesâ€" tion is made that one or more large central receiving and shipping depots be established, together with the apâ€" pointment of a competent manager. It was pointed out that the better class of gardeners around the city were losing money through the fact __that there was no law compelling the \ grading of vegetables as now obtainâ€" & ed in apples, and this was shown to ‘ be a loss to the men who took espeâ€" eial care in\the growing and marketâ€" _ _ ing of their vegetables. No definite action was taken, but it is not unlikeâ€" 1y that a big meeting will be held sometimes in the near future to go thoroughly into the matter. 4 y t The more universal condemnation of the suprome viceâ€"ormelty. _ The more universal cultivation of the supreme virtueâ€" kindnoss. | At a meeting of the Toronto branch & of the Ontario Vegetable Growers‘ Association held in the Labor Temple en Saturday afternoon, with John Tizzard, the president, in the chair, and Frank F®. Reeves acting as secâ€" retary, the question of "coâ€"operation‘" was thoroughly discussed, when the sentiment of the meeting was shown to be strongly in favor of the proposiâ€" tion. A feature of the meeting was an address by F. C. Hart of the Departâ€" ment of Agriculture, who pointed out some of the advantages of forming some kind of a business organization through which the gardeners around the city could dispose to better adâ€" vantage of their produce at a miniâ€" mum of the present cost. The larger preception of the imporâ€" tance of humane education. The more rapid growth of the huâ€" mane movement, especially as affectâ€" ing the defenseless among men and @nimals. The elearer recognitionâ€" of the elaims of human brotherhood â€" in whose raceâ€"prejudice dies. The friendship of Europe won by the noble response of America to its mttered and unuttered appeal for help. The widening of the spirit of goodâ€" will among men and nations. TLong Branch, Jan. 6. â€"The rateâ€" payers of Long Branch are protestâ€" ing hotly at what they term illegal procedure on the part of the school board, who have paid two trustees $250 each out of the school funds. Wm. O‘Connor, trustee, who was actâ€" ing secretary of the board for 1915, received $250 for his services, and Mr. Horner, who has been actifgâ€" secretary for 1916, also received the same amount. Some of the things we wish for the New Yearâ€"that it may see:â€" The end of this unspeakable war. The beginuing of a lasting peace. The agreement of the leading naâ€" tions of the earth to combine against future wars. ‘"I know that school trustees are not paid salaries." Mr. O‘Connor inâ€" formed the Telegram, "but I underâ€" stand a secretary of any school board is paid, and it was for filling that office I was paid." The resolution was passed to pay the above mentioned sums at a meetâ€" ing of the school board on January 6, 1916, and the matter was brought up again on December 14, 1916, and the money paid beforo the annuai mecting on December 27, 1916. The school board at Long Branch for 1917 is composed of Acting Secreâ€" tary A. W. Cooper, Mr. Horner and Mr. Fitzhenry, who defeated Mr. O‘Connor in the recent election. The Department of Education q@uestioned about the matter, stated that a trustee who is acting secreâ€" taryâ€"treasurer in a rural board may receive payment for his services, but the money must not be paid till the ratepayers have by vote approved it. Trustees are not entitled to payment for their services. A thorough discussion of the matâ€" tgr will be made by the Ratepayers‘ Association at their next meeting. Bondon, Thursday, Jan. 11. â€" The Times says: ‘‘We understand the joint reply of the allies to President Wilson‘s note was handed by the French government yesterday to the United States Ambassador at Paris. Few changes were made by the varâ€" ious allied governments to the draft approved at the conference of the British and French Ministers in Lonâ€" don at the end of December. The text.of the note will be published 48 hours after it has reached President Wilson, probably toâ€"morrow (Friday). The allied reply it is understood difâ€" fers considerably both in tone and tenor from the answer given to Gerâ€" many. It is believed to be conceived in a spirit of frankness and cordiality, and to define broadly the only terms en which the allies would contemâ€" plate peace. It appears to be addressâ€" ed in reality, if not in form, quite as much to the American people as to the President, and constitutes a erushing rejoinder to the German pretensions of humanitarian sentiâ€" ment. It is stated to be not much longer than the recent answer to Gerâ€" many." VYEGETABLE GROWERS TALK ORGANIZATION Defines the Only Terms on _ Which Allies Would Conâ€" N template Peace "Al:though It Differs Both in . Tone and Tenor From Answer to Germany 16 A GRUSHING REJOINDEE PRESIDENT HAG ENTENTE REPLY PAGE TWO LONG BRANCH Rubber boots and shoes will be higher after this year. The reasons given by the manufacturers include conditons in the rubber | market, scarcity of shipping facilities. Euroâ€" pean war demands, the price ofâ€"zinc, the high cost of lampblack, increased price of wool and cotton, higher wages, shortage of stocks of rubber in London, and because the dividends of the rubber companies must be maintained. On the other hand, if a soldier is tempted to turn traitor he is justiâ€" fied in pretending to listen to the tempter, and in this way gaining any information he can which in due course is conveyed to his commandâ€" ing officer, and then laid before the commanderâ€"inâ€"chief of the army, who may benefit thereby materially and by a change in his plans bring sucâ€" cess to his troops. Thus it would be most unsportsâ€" manlike of a general to tell an officer or soldier to go over to the enemy, and pretending to be a traitor or deâ€" serter, to give false informationâ€" and then make his escape. A commander is entitled to disseâ€" minate false news; indeed, much of the art of war lies in hoodwinking your opponent. There are, however, limits to the way in which deceit may be practised. The rules in regard to prisoners of war are clear enough. Anyone wearâ€" ing the uniform of a recognized military force must if captured be treated as a prisoner of war, provided, of course, that he can show that he.is not a civilian masquerading in uniâ€" form. If a soldier in uniform is caught trying to gain information within the enemy‘s lines he must not be treated as a spy, but as a prisoner of war. Secrecy and disguise make the spy who, of course, has no rights whatever. _ __A. prisoner of war cannot be forced to aid in operations against his own side, or to disclose information about them, but he may be made to earn his keep by working at his trade or doing nonâ€"military work. A prisoner of war cannot be comâ€" pelled to give his parole. Should he, not being on parole, attempt to esâ€" cape he may be shot while in the act of escaping, but if captured he is not to be punished beyond being placed in more rigorous confinement. An enemy has a perfect right to bombard a town which refuses to surrender, but to deliberately destroy unprotected places and national inâ€" stitutions is an act of vandalism; that is, unless the buildings are used for military purposes against the enemy. The reason so many towns in Belâ€" gium were evacuatedâ€" on the apâ€" proach of the enemy was because the Beigians trusted in the good faith of the Germans to adhere to the rules of war etiquette. Louvain with all its glories would still be intact but for this breach of good, faith. A general is entitled to make full use of traitors and deserters, but he should not tempt men to be faise to their allegiance. It is not etiquette to try and kill the enemy‘s commanderâ€"inâ€"chief. He may be captured, but if killed in the process that is but the ‘"fortune of For instance, the Germans violated the etiquette of war by disregarding their promise to preserve the neutralâ€" ity of Belgium, and by invading France before making a formal deâ€" claration of war. The rules of war allow the cutting off of an enemy‘s water or food supâ€" plies, but not the poisoning of water! It was just as natural for a man like Wiiding, a gentleman, to do what he did as it was for Darcy to do what he did, perhaps. The one instinctiveâ€" ly ran toward his duty as quickly as the other ran away from it. I do not blame Darcy for the lack of imaginaâ€" tion which prevents him seeing things as Wilding saw them. But, in the name of God of things that are fit, why should Darcy be called the fightâ€" The etiquette of the field of battle is quite as important as that of the home. At the outset of the war it was falsely reported that a French doctor had infected the water supply of the German fortress of Metz with choâ€" lera germs. Had the report been tyfe, the doctor would have been guilty of an act of barbarism, opposâ€" ed to all the usages of war. Soidiers Have Many Rules Governing Their Behaviour Les Darcy, the fighter, was in Ausâ€" tralia when the war was started. For two years he resisted the importun« ings of the recruiting sergeant, and when the intimation that "a fighter should fight" became annoying he travelled to the United States to avoid taking his part in the great war. Tennis to the patron of the "fight game" is a,_"sissy” sport,a game which requires no particular courage or stamina. Anthony. Wilding was the best of Australias tennis players. Darâ€" cyâ€"so we have been toldâ€"is the greatest of Australia‘s fighters. YÂ¥et when the great war started, Anthony Wilding, tennis champion, hurried from the United States to Australia to join the colors. He was killed at Gallipoli. His splendid, graceful body was mangled under tons of earth when a shell hit the dugout where his machine was stationed.. Death came to him shortly after he had been promoted for gallantry in action. "And he was the only son of his moâ€" ther, and she was a widow." DARCYX‘S INSIGNIFICANCE AND WILDING‘S HEROISM a flock of letters abusing me for this perfectly obvious intention. (By W. 0. McGecehan, sporting editor } New York Tribune.) _ New York, Jan. 3.â€"The ithportance of Les. Darcy, the bullâ€"necked young man who skulkedâ€"away from Australâ€" ia to avoid possible conscription, has been greatly magnified. The drool that has been poured forth about him gives some information as to the state of the "fight game." This man, who smuggled â€"himself out of his country when he was sadly needed for a man‘s wo;k and for the fight of fights, has been hailed as a conquerâ€" ing hero who is about to enliven and elevate the ‘"fight game." This seems to be the point of view of the average boxing fan in New York. Because I have seen fit to intimate that Darey should have been among the first of the Australians to answer the call to the colorsâ€"he being a fighter by professionâ€"I have received BATTLEFIELD ETIQUETTE Sunshine is delicious, rain is reâ€" freshing; wind braces up, snow is exâ€" hilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather; only different kinds of good weather.â€"John Ruskin.

S. 12, Townâ€" ship of Etobicoke, were opened. Five tenders were received, as follows: A. E. Ames, $6337.00; C. H. Burgess & Co., $104.40; Canada Bond Co., $6.â€" 358.52; McNeil & Young, $105.01; G. A. Stimson, $6387.60â€"$106.46. A motion was passed asking New Toronto to instal 30 street lights along the Lake Shore District. Mr. French is looking after this work and detail and is arranging to get it completed as soon as possible. The accounts were passed and the meethg closed early. This is about as far as the averâ€" age woman goes in establishing & "cost system" for her household. On motion the tender of G. A Stimson was accepted. "I don‘t know what it costs," she replied, "but I do know I am spendâ€" ing far too much." Mr. Wm. O‘Connor was appointed to the Board of Health and the inâ€" spectors are: Div. 1 and 2â€"F. B. Lockwood. Div. 3 and 4â€"G. Simpson. Div. 5 and 6â€"A. H. Brooks. Div. 7 and $â€"G.â€"T. Brown.

Mr. Hanton appeared before the council with a well developed anâ€" nouncement. He found out that his property, lot "17, plan 548, on Coâ€" bourn Street, Humber, was sold for unpaid taxes of 1911. ‘He ‘did not unâ€" derstand why this was when he had a statement of the owner that all taxes were paid. He produced the signed statement«to the council. It was then pointed out that the taxes were only paid up till 1910, and that 1911 had not been paid. He thought that the law was bad that the counâ€" cil‘s business was bad, and that all were catering to the rich man. This was all borne by the council and at last Mr. Hanton saw the position of affairs. The former owner had not paid the taxes, for 1911 and the lawâ€" yer had not made a thorough search of the title of the property. This case shows how careful one must be in reâ€" gard to purchasing land or property. All details must be carefully attended to. Mr. Hanton went away much wiser than he came in. The following byâ€"laws were passed appointing Mr. R. J. Berry, Lambton Mills, and Mr. George Chapman, Isâ€" lington, to audit the books for the year 1916.. Each is th reach the sum of $25.00 for the work. R The meetings will be held as folâ€" lows, fixed by the byâ€"law: The Glencose Land Co., Ltd:, made application for a refund of $168.00. This was the result of an error in charging 46 instead of 26 lots.. The Treasurer was instructed to pay the sum to the company. Mr. R. L. Crawford interviewed the council on behalf of the West York Boardâ€"of. Agriculture. He asked for a grant towards the Board and its work. This was granted and a sum of $10.00 was passed for tho purpose. Lot One, Block M;, Plan M9, Lot 12, con. 5, will be redeemed.. This lot of the Smith trust was sold by misâ€" take on January 29th, 1916. _ On Monday morning the Etobicoke council for 1917 held their first meetâ€" ing.
