SUMMARY OF 1916 LEGISLATURE.
Although still in opposition, the
Liberals, under the leadership of Mr.
Rowell, actually obtained many reforms
in the Legislature this Session, with
the result that such a Conservative
paper as the Hamilton Spectator, for
example, contains the following item: -
"Mr. Scott Davidson, Liberal M.L.A.
for North Brant, in speaking at London,
on Saturday, claimed that Mr. N. W.
Rowell was practically leading the
Legislature. Quite a few people will
consider the remark is more than half
true."
Among the reforms accomplished this
session by Mr. Rowell and the Liberal
party are the following: -
1. Prohibition.
2. Establishment
Labor Branch.
3. War Resources Committee.
4. Northern Ontario development.
5. Hydro power for Eastern Ontario,
as well as for the west.
6. Equal treatment fo: Ontario
citizens in the armies of the Allies.
7. Submission to the House of T. N.
0, and Hydro accounts. •
On the other hand, among the pro-
posed reforms advocated are: -
1. Radical programme of social re-
form in aid of the workingmen and the
working women.
2. A thorough -going advance in
culture.
3. Votes for women.
4. Destruction of the patronage
system.
5. Government control of nickel.
6. Heavier taxation of private nickel
companies.
7. Tax reform and to exclude tile
drainage in taxation of farm property.
-Mr. Duncan McGillivray, of Mc-
Gregor, Man., son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
McGillivray, of this town, has enlisted
with the 107th Battalion in Manitoba.
-Monday was the first day of the
trout fishing season. Weather con-
ditions were more tavourable for the
speckled beauties than for the sports-
men.
-Messrs. Robt. Allen, John F.
Groves, A. G. Smith, R. S. McGee and
W. B. Elliott attended the Oddfellows'
church service in Lucknow on Sunday

ing letter from Private Leonard Brock,
a member of the 71st Battalion, who
is now located at Bramshott Camp,

which, in a general sense, is embodied
in the motto that appears on the front

It would perhaps'be too much to say
that the Agricultural War Book, issued
for free distribution by the Federal
Department of Agriculture, is the most
complete book ever published in Canada
entirely devoted to the subject of which
it mainly treats. Yet in variety it cer-
tainly is. Besides the general matter
brought together by the editor, the
Commissioner of Agriculture, some
seventy agricultural and education ex-
perts have contributed to its 250 pages,
Including the Federal Ministers of
Anriculturg and Financethe Live
Stock Commissioner, and 'Miry Com
lnissioner for the Dorelnibfl, Chiefs and
sub- chiefs of varloub department's and
divisions, federal and provincial, and.
professors at the Ontario and other
agricultural colleges,
While there are statistics of the
world's as well as of Canada's produce
last year, for purposes of comparison,
and two or three years preceding, the
book is a long way from being confined
to figures. On the contrary it containes
pages upon pages of textual informa-
tion instructions and sound advice
appertaining to its title -"Production
and Thrift". Not alone would the fernier
and breeder be the better for its study
but every householder, every Citi en
