If you are planâ€" ning to plant your lot in potatoes you will find in the reference department the latest Governâ€" ment bulletins (just issued) on varieties and culâ€" tivation of potatoes; or if you prefer something you can carry home, the same subject is less fully discussed in "Productive Vegetable Growing." This book gives quite full and reliabte informaâ€" tion on the cultivation of all variecties of vegeâ€" tables, with chapters on soil, fertilizing and transplanting. If you prefer to learn in a few concise sentences how to prepdre your soil; when, how deep and at what distances to plant your seed; and how to cultivate your growing plantsâ€"try "1000 Hints on Vegetable Gardenâ€" ing." If you have thought that a spade, a rake and a hoe were the only useful tools for your work, you will find much to interest you in ‘ Ihe Vegetable Garden." If you are still undecided about what fertilizer to useâ€"the different methâ€" ods are discussed in a number of books, but most fully in Voorhee‘s "Fertilizers," "The Backyard Farmer," and "The Garden Yard" have hints for both the gardener and the poultry keeper, and "The Garden," which is among the circulating magazines, has something of interest each month about both flower and vegetable garden. _ Have you noticed the way you have to fight to get om a car at the Junction at 5 or 6 o‘clock? This is only one of the many great inconveniâ€" ences which people are subjected to from this company. As the company are operating under an old agreement, which some state has expired, would it not be the time to make a new one now? If a new agreement is entertained, could the comâ€" pany not be tied down to some specific contract to carry the people of this district. Something ought to be done. The question arises, what is the best thing to be done? Are we not doing all that any one can do under the present conditions ? This may sound as a reasonable excuse. Yet is it sufficient? Are we to be put off with it? "Evâ€" erybody is using this as a cloak to cover any furâ€" ther outlays. We do, not blame anyone. It is good business to carry as many people per day on five cars as you can pack into them. It is good business to make the present equipment, which served half the number of people, also serve the present population. It keeps down expenses and does not cut into the profits. . Yet all things have a limit. Men will stand being trodden upon only to a certain extent, Have we yet reached that period? If we have, then the whole community should cause this company, who are using our roads daily, who are 1§{iaking dividends from our local improved conditions, paid for and maintainâ€" ed by our taxes, to operate a service that will handle the demands. With the money invested in Weston and Mount Dennis, a better service must be secured for transportation. This being the case, everybody is interested. Therefore the whole district shoule unite to secure a better serâ€" vice. This must be clone through your local cenâ€" tres and organizations. Everybody must get the other fellow moved along. Just as soon as this is done some results will be obtained. ‘_â€" During the last few days there have been sonmte cattle from the flats wandering over the lawns on Main Street. It is not a good thing for the lawns nor the town to have these cattle romping all over everything in sight. This is a regular occurrence every year. Those who are responsible for the keeping of these cows should see their lawns all cut up with hoof marks. If doubt the fences are out of repair and thus the cattle get out. Still the residents do not want to see heir lawns all cut up with hoof marks. If steps are not taken immediately the constable will have all the cattle found on the street put in pound. This will no doubt not be necessary. FOOD PRODUCTION AND May 1st is the day whenâ€"all dog licenses exâ€" pire. New licenses must be had on or before that date, or you are subject to have your dog put in pound. If you will keep a dog, it is necessary to have this license. Rates have been raised with a view to eliminate the number of useless dogs around the towns and country toâ€"day. It has been found that they are a menace to the farmer who would raise sheep. They also require a lot of food. In these times of strict economy it is generally felt that only those dogs that are of value should be kept. This is not to be taken that you are asked to,.do away with your pet, but it is to do away with the cur that is let go around at large. Don‘t overlook the fact that you will have to get a license at once if you are to keep a dog. ~ Great activity is being displayed all over the town in the matter of greater production. Weston is to the fore in this great work. When the citiâ€" zens of our town set out to do a thing they do it well.. Once they.grasp the idea or see the absoâ€" lute need of the cause, then you can bank on the results. In Red Cross work, Y.M.C.A. work or other needy enterprise, you can secure strong executive committees to work. It has been the case in the campaign for greater production. It means much to the town and the surrounding district to have all these vacant lots plowed. Not only will it mean more food for our district, but a more attractive town. It speaks of a live, active CAR SERVICE ON THE WESTON LINE GRAZING CATTLE ON MAIN STREET Municipal Matters of Moment DOGS MUST HAVE LICENSE EVERYBEBODY IS BUSY wWwEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY THE TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON, VVE‘:DNESDAY, APRIL 24TH, 1918 THE PUBLIC LIBRARY With the clearing of our main Street of the winter‘sâ€" accumulations the need for repairs is seen. Not only in the town is this necessary, but the whole road needs immediate attention,. In many places those who put in the_hydrants for the water in the Mount Dennis section just cut into the road. In filling in they put back sand. This has fallen in and the result is there are sevâ€" eral holes in the side of the road.g1 he contractors who did the work should be made put the road in the same condition as they found it. _ Why should the township or the county be called upon to pay for their work. Css *2 Again, a little work on the whole road at this time is money well spent. Our Weston road is an asset to our town. â€"While in good condition people use it. It is now becoming rough in many places and care now means less expense than it will in two months‘ time. In Toronto they have been out on their main roads making the repairs for some little time. With the shortage of labor the difficulty of making repairs is ver great, Jn two months‘ time it will be greater, as a number of men will be in the service, either on the farms or in training for overseas. Is this not the time to gset the work done?. town that are doing their duty. It speaks of prosâ€" perity. It makes every person who passes through our town temember it. . Lherefore it is a valuâ€" able asset. There are still, however, some who have not realized the importance of the work. All who have applied have received one or two lots as required. There is room for more appliâ€" cations. If you have not applied yet, don‘t put it off any longer. It is necessary that all should coâ€"operate in this work for the winning of the war. Don‘t be the only one not engagedâ€"in this work. & A STILL GREATER CALL During the present needs of our country there have been many calls made. Each would appear to be the ultimate ruin of our country. Yet after the calls have been answered, we are surprised to find that everything is going on just.the same as before? In fact, in some instances there has been a decided improverrent, It . may â€" seem strange at first sight, yet it is true our greatest efficiency is the outcome of adverse conditions. On the surface things may seem dark, but the final analysis show that the outcome has justiâ€" fied the measure. We are face to face with the new order for all young men between the ages of 20 and 22 to be called up. Also that all the men granted exemption will have to answer the call. This may seem very serious, and it is. Still, the demand for men at the front is great. If we are to last, the men must carry on.. With the appeal on top of this for greater production, it seems to be inconsistent. Yet we are not at the end of our resources.. No one can say that he has done all that is possible. We all can do more as the occasion arises. No one is too busy to make the dollar. Then we are not to busy carry on. This is no time to find fault. Mistakes have been made. Greater mistakes will be mad It is only by these same mistakes that we ad vance. The man who does not make a mistake never makes anything. 2 Further, if the road is let go much longer, the present holes will become worse. This has been one of the reasons that the road has become so bad. , The Council does not like to spend any more than can be avoided, especially during the present stress of finance, but it is cheaper to atâ€" tend to this matter now than wait until the road is destroyed. * The Germans are solid behind their governâ€" ment. They work as ordered and get the results. We have our own thoughts and ideas. We have a perfect freedom to express them. â€" This has caused a lot of trouble. We all can talk, but we have not got the necessary information to talk on. Do we know the conditions better than the government? Are we in a position to criticize them unless we thoroughly understand the matâ€" ter? No, we must accept the verdict of our govâ€" ernment as the best thing for the country. Let us all rise to the situation by doing our part to assist. § â€" ACTION IS NECESSARY With fast travelling milk trucks on the Wesâ€" ton Road toâ€"day, we have a new danger. There has always been trouble in this respect. That is, school children riding on the milk wagons. Several have been hurt in this way. The drivers are in a degree responsible for allowing the chilâ€" dren on the wagons. With motor trucks the chilâ€" dren still run after the truck to get a ride. Several have been thrown to the ground, as they were unâ€" able to keep their feet. Those who succeed in getting on make fun of those who fall. It is not smart, but is taking a big chance of carrying a maimed member all their life. A town byâ€"law should be passed to stop those who hang on wagons and truck from doing so. It should go a step further and make those who will allow children to hang on also liable. This would be one way of saving some little fellow an arm or a leg. Something should be done and done quickly. Mr. Editor :â€" I have been favorably impressed as well as entertained over the article appearing recently in your valuable paper regarding the improvement of our town. Permit me to add one suggestion more. If the citizens occupying the stores and many of the buildings on Main Street would give their premises a coat of paint, it would add greatâ€" ly to the appearance of the town. give strangers a better impression of Weston and iherease busiâ€" ness. The following is an ordinary remark, viz.: "Â¥ou will like Weston if you do not see Main Street." Will the men kindly get busy with the paint brush, or allow the ladies to use it for them * 2 2 ze .
