Just now the cost of having this drilling done is considerable, especially when it is noted that farmers already are carrying about alj, the. financial load they are able to bear. Yet water is essential to both humans and cattle. , This year even the rolling tides of the Aux Sauble- have been utterly dried up. Even the holes in that torrent that hither­ to never have been known to fail have been dry as some parson’s sermons. Wells that have faithfully served their owners for half a century, gave their owners their supply with grouchiness and scan­ tiness and then refused flatly to function at all. Cisterns that serv­ ed nobly and unfailingly for the wash days of scores of years dried out and now await the coming of showers. Ordinary supplies or water have proven their utter uselessness this summer. The only thing that remains is to look for water from another source, from the rocks supplied by springs that so far have stood up against any known drought.! The sooner the country and the town face this situation, the better. The cost is not so very great after all. while the conven­ ience and the wholesomeness of the water supply thus secured are beyond all estimate.

In addition to what we said about the importance of having the audit done well we urged that auditors be held financially responsible for their statements. We said as plainly as we could, that if an auditor said that the parties for whom he possession while that sum was should make up that sum. Again we were scoffed at miserable pittance for his work that he could not afford to go into the accounts carefully. Till he was adequately remunerated for his work, there was no sense in his being accurate. Again circum­ stances are speaking. A large portion of the public asked for a cheap job and they got it—a job that was at once cheap and unsat­ isfactory. Our present suggestion? Our suggestion is that no man be given a treasurership unless he is financially responsible for the sums he handles and that in his own right. Such treasurers are to be had, for the most part. When this style rof financially responsible treasurer cannot be had and the treasurer is bo.nded, the parties doing the bonding should, by law re required to do the auditing. . The simple fact is that treasurerships are given and accepted far too lightly. .Money is handled with and accounted for with a looseness that simply is appalling. The more one familiarizes him­ self with the facts of the situation the more he is astonished that an intelligent people such as this province boasts of, should tolerate the condition of affairs all too prevalent for the last score of years, to say the least. Sharp auditing combined with financial responsi­ bility on the part of treasurers will go a long distance towards get­ ting the public affairs of this province onto a satisfactory basis, Great as have been the surprises in this line in the last ten years greater surprises still await the public men and citizens who ask for and insist on a strict accounting.

Nature intended women to be strong and healthy instead of weak and sickly, but how ean a woman have good health when, day in and day out, she has to go through the household drudgery without any relaxation.
