Optario and other provinces of the Dominion are harvesting one of -. the most bountiful crops that Providence, bestowed on this favored land. Not- withstanding these good gifts you will hear people complain about this and that as if there was nothing in this glorious country of ours to be thankful for. Truly we should be thankful The Kincardine Reporter of last week throws out the following timely hint.—"There is talk tof an electric railway passing through Exeter, If the promoters should ask the town for anything, the people of Exeter should say, "Show us" ICincardine ano this section are now paying in- terest on bonds guaranteed and we haven't even got . the road. A newspaper is a town's way of letting people outside know that it is alive— guide post whereby you can tell the town and the cemetery apart, Most every citizen of the'; town is wil- ling to put a slab to let the people knows when he is, dead, but there are entirely too many in. every community who are trying to do business with- out taking the trouble to let anybody' knows they are alive. Moral :Don't let your epitaph be your first ad. ; there may be somebody would like to do business with you. Mr. Thos. G. Atkinson, of Manitou Man., spent a couple of days in town the latter part of last week, shaking hands with old friends: Ile and his family are visiting with: Mr. Shoebot- tom in London Township. Mr. At- kinspn is still G. ,T. R. Ag'ent at Manitou and at the .same time con- ducts a good -size farm. Asked about the crops in Manitoba he says they will only be average, the heavy rains in the spring, followed by a hot spell, having affected them to some extent, But- he says, generally speaking the West will give a good account of it - set this year. Mr. Atkinson was ac- companied here by Mr. Shoebottom, bothof whom were pleasant callers on the Advocate Friday. Mr,' James, senior editor of the Bow. nianville Statesman, has rendered thir- ty-five years service as editor of that well conducted journal and bids fair to continue the, good work for many years to come. We congratu- late the editor on' his long and suc- cessful career. Mr. James is not, however, the longest .serviced editor in the province onthe one journal by any means. Mr, M. Y. McLean of the Seaforth Expositor beats him out by eight years, and Mr. W. R. Davis, the venerable editor of tele Mitchel] Advocate outdoes both of them, he having swung the editorial pen for fifty-three years.

HICKS AUGUST FORECASTS.— A reactionary storm period will cen- ter on and touching: the 22nd and 23rd ,leaving but little intermission between this and the preceding period Cloudy and threatening conditions will continue into this period;' increasing into more decided and general storms of rain, thunder and wind on and about above dates. A regular storm period will extend from the 25th to 30th, having its center on the 27th Wo will name the 27th 28th and 'nth as dates on which disturbances will culminate, being preceded and follow- ed be the usual first and last stages of a regular storm period. Your barometer should render important service. .An earthquake period is central on the 31st, covering the 28 to Sept. 4. Readers will take notice that there are three eclipses from Au- gust 31 to September 29—a partial eclipse of the Sun on August 31, a total eclipse of tlTe' ,nioon on Sept. 15, and a partial eclipse of the Sun again on Sept.. 29. This gives us two eclipses of the sun, in one month, ox at two successive' new moons, and an eclipse of the moon atthe full moon. which intervenes between the two eclipses of the sun. All these, it must be remembered, axe . in the , midst of the autumnal equinox, bringing the moon on the celestial equator atthe times of the eclipses. Under this as- tronomic condition we venture to fore cast phenomenal earthquakes, volcanic activity,. tidal waves . and hurricanes, al: within and near the compass of the three eclipses.

As explained in a circular sent to trustees about New Years, the money apportioned by the Government for this purpose has nowt been fixed, so that as schools generally throughout the province have qualified for high- er grants by paying higher salaries and engaging teachers with better qualifications, it has become neces- sary to base the.grants -on a higher minimum and even after that to make a pre rata reduction.

Mack, Exeter, or '1' Cameron, Auct,, Farquhar, The following, from the Guelph Her ald, will apply to almost any city or town in Canada: Parents who permit their girls to wander around at late 'hours are sadly negligent of their du- ties, and the inevitable result must some day be sorrow and tears, ' As a matter of fact late hours are the curse of this generation. Even the 'grown- ups start the evening's pleasure at a time when' their grandparents were getting ready to retire. We are burn- ing the candle both ends, and is it any wonder that the result is seen in the crowded°sanitariums and the compart- ively short lives of the men and wom- en of to -day? And the example reacts upon the children. We read of the white slave traffic and its tretnendous toll upon the girls of our land. Can. we wander that this sort of thing is on the increase when girls scarcely- entering carcelyentering their teens run the streets of a city and town at all sorts of late hours, sailed to sights and hun,iliat- ion which are bound to deaden the sense of purity which should be the priceless Jewel of womanhood. It is surely high time parental authority exerted itself and the youth of Can. ada was taught that the old saw, "Ear ly to bed and early to :ride makes a maiden healthy, wealthy and is still ;just as true as ever. Nature is as exacting ad ever in Da tolil, and Dame Gruudy' is still an inexorable school master. Miss Howard of London at Mr. E. Christie's, Mr. Mara of I,,uean is visiting his daughter Mrs. Cole.
