This is the fifth anniversary of one oI
the great events of the war—the battle of
St. Julien. in which the Germans first
used poison gas and the Canadian troops
saved the situation by a great display of
resource and courage.
The sheep -raising industry' in Ontario is
suffering from the damage done by dogs
*which worry and kill the animals. and the
Legislature is trying to find some remedy
for the trouble. More drastic provisions
regarding the taxing and tagging of dogs
will probably be enacted.
The first division in the Legislature
this session gate the Government a
mai irity of forts -nine. The vote was on
a bill reducing the property qualification
of candidates for municipal office. Nearly
all the Liberal members. including Mr.
D' vitt,, voted with the Government.
A cable despatch from London states
that nearly 'se hundred thousand war
trophies have been distributed among the
Dominions to mpseums, regiments and

out no hope of a reduction of expenditure,
but rather indicates the probability of an
incresse. And continued votes fur Gov-
ernment House give no sign of an inter;
tion to do away with that monument of
extr.vagance. If the people are in earn-.
eat., the Governm'rnt will have to cut'
doe i some of the unfruitful trees.
The Orillia Packet quotes Brigadier
General C. H. Mitchell, dean of thea

Whin potatoes reached the price of
87.50 a bushel at Detroit, the women
took a hand in the game and boycotted
the dealers. Within twenty-four hours
the price began to fall, and a day or two
later had got down to $1 a bushel. The
high prices were artificial_ the result of
speculation. some cars of pdtatoes in the
rail say yards having changed hands half.

Thie argument loses its effect, however, in
