She wore bouquet of Sweetheart roses and lily at the valley. The bride was attended by Miss El- sie Bierworth, who wore a lovely gown of pale mauve georgette and acted as best man. Miss Frieda ’Manery played the wed- ding music and during the signing of the register Miss Olive Mathers of Brantford sang “Oh Promise Me.” Immediately following the ceremony a buffet luncheon was served, after which the happy couple left for a motor trip to Muskoka returning via Toronto and Niagara.

After the usual congratulations were over and all had partaken of a dainty lun- cheon, the whole company motored to the railway station at Varney. where the happy couple entrained amid showers of confetti for Toronto at which city and Buflalo they intend spending their honeymoon. On their return they will reside on the groom’s farm, Concession 2 Nor- manby. The bridal couple were the recipients of many beautiful and valu- able presents from their many friends and relatives.

From an advertising standpoint a name printed large on a barn is preferable. We might easily take a leaf out of the book of the Michigan farmers in this respect. One can drive for miles and miles and see every barn painted, invariably red, with the owner’s name in white letters nearly two feet long. It may be that the name of the farm also is painted, and if some particular breed of horses, cattle, or sheep‘ are specialized in, this is mentioned likewise. The merchant in town has his name in the window to advertise his place of business; why shouldn’t the farmer advertise his place of business also ?â€"Mount For- est Confederate. ular highlands were “fished out.” There was a time when trout, bass, pike, pickerel and maskinonge were fairly plentiful and the fisherman was reasonably sure of a good catch. But now ! Well, the less said the better ! The fish are not there in anything like the numbers which once existed.~ The government has been trying to , remedy this situation for some years and at present nearly 900,000,000 fry are dumped each year into our lakes and rivers, while each year the fishing grows poorer and the fisherman must .go farther and farther afield for his catch. Tests seem to show that in some cases, at least, the fry are all de- voured by larger fish inside of six months or a year, and all the labor is wasted. There should be some way of avoiding this waste, and some way of restoring our fishing to something of what it was in earlier days. With an ever-increasing number of fishermen, Fished Out There are few sportsmen, or even semi-sportsmen, who have not heard and made, the complaint that certain favorite fishing spots in Ontario’s pOp- higher ethical standards and seemli- ness, no objection can be taken to them. But they go- farther, and lay down certain“ drastic restrictions with regard to advertising, which we believe to be ultra vires and certainly not in the public interest. According to the Toronto “Mail and Empire”:â€" “It is forbidden to either directly or indirectly advertise by any other means than a ‘professional card or an announcement, which shall not be larger thantwo inches by three inches, andonwhichshallbestatedonlythe name, the licensed standing of, and the telephone number and the name, address and telephone â€" number of the the same man takes a. twoâ€"ton auto- mobile, drives recklessly and kills his neighbor, the sequel may be complete exoneration of a. negligent homicide charge, followed by a. light fine. Why the discrimination ? The man who the new regulations for the control of undertakers promulgated by the local Government. It is quite certain that the Government would not have fram- ed and given the effect of law to these regulations had it not been pressed to do so by the trade organizations of the undertakers and embalmers them- selves. We are quite unaware of any demand on the part of the public for a new code of rules such as that which was announced last week, nor do they seem to have been designed for the protection of the public. So far as the regulations make for tomatic pistol, experience has shown that he will be liable to a charge and conviction of manslaughter and a Hamankfllshlsnelghborbyreck- lessly stepping out and firing an au- part.

We have a rather substantial theory that the new regulations are aimed not against those undertakers who ad- vertise flambuoyantly, but against those who advertise their charges and make these charges low, to attract cus- tOm. We believe that such advertisers have rendered a great service to the community by forcing down excessive charges in connection with burial which were long a burden on the com- munity, but about which a family which has suffered feels shame-faced in making complaint. It is a means of enabling the type of undertaker who desires to capitalize the sorrow of the bereaved, by charging “all the trafl'ic will bear,” to force into line the men who have inaugurated the move- ment towards less costly funerals. We do not believe these regulations to be enforceable, and would like to see them tested in the courts; and we J.
