The people of Canada ere as a rtiee law-abiding and longsuffering but there cornea a time when lenieuey ceases to be a virtue and when a public demand must be made to prohibit such talk, even if stern action is necessary to effect it.

Now is the time to plan and beetle for it and remetnber every addi- tional acre °omits;'. To the Miter of Tnn Poem: The Archbishop of Armagh, Lord Primate of Ireland, says in part. '•It ,atm st seems as if it would take some new and terrible catastrophe to rouse ourP PPo le In Greet Britain and Ireland P P"'1 to repentance and reformation Jn with re- gard i x gore to our national sin of Intemper- ance. Many of tie hoped that the splen• did example of oar King and Queen lo hanisbing all intoxicating liquors from the Royal Palaces during the continu ince of the war, would have stirred the national conscienee and produced a uni- versal habit of self denial. Such hopes have been doomed to a hitter disappoint- ment. Our sailers and soldiers when they come home for a short leave are still the victims of misplaced hospitality and our men in preparation for a life and death conflict are daily exposed to such constant temptations as many of them are unable to resist. Apart altogether from the sin of in- temperence, our nation is now called up• on to face the absolute necessity for economy and thrift. Thank God the nation is absolutely determined by God's blessing to spend her last drop of blond and her last penny of money to drive away foresee, from the world the bide - 000 nightmare of German militarism. Nothing wield help more in reaching this result than the great national resolve to banish during the war, the use of all intoxicating drink as ordinary beverages. The wheat and barb -y and maize em• ployed in the manufacture of alcoholic drink are lost for food purposes, The cent of bread for man and food stuff for cattle would be lowered by so much if this gram were available. We are are ensured that on tin average every Family in the United Kingdom expend, six shillings and sixpence per week on alco frolic drluks, 'Phe reduetiou of this enormous national expenditure, even by rine half and the proceeds invested in the new war loan, would mean au addi- tion to the capital of $4oc,000,000 per annum, And what a saving in otber ways would he brought about ? National sobriety would mean a diminution in crime, a lessening of insanity and pau- perism and above all, an increase in the national vivor and power of endurance_ on the continuance of wbicb depend victory and a lasting peace. Witt not our clergy r,f ail denominations and mon and women all over the Kingdom, who love their native land, united in nue great crusade for national ahstin- ance, at least whits the scourge of this awful war falls i:eavily epee the land ? The hourly self-sacrifice of our gallant men by sea and air and land surely calls for this one act of self denial from us who stay at home, Timetables give Collegiate Exams. and Days to Write Time tables for the annual depart- mental exartfinatlons at the collegiate have been issuer, The examinations will commence on June 12111, and in 50015 inetaneeS will not rinse Mitis June 29th, Lower school examine - tions for en teenier intn Normal schools and faculties of aril:million will not open until June 14, when examination.; in arithmetic arid gengraphy will be written, These will be followed by Englisch mammal.. art, spelling, ele- mentary science, British and Cana- dian history, manual training and household evience, agrieniture, hOrr.i- culture, bookkeeping and wr iting, thr, exarninatione closing on June 20 at 11.80.

C, Dairy School Examina- tion Results The total registration of students in the various cow'aes at the Dairy School, 0, A. 0., Guelph, ending March 31, was 75, as compared with 73 for similar courses in 1910. These students came from the Pro- vinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- ward island by the Atlantic Ocean, and from British Columbia on the Pacific coast. though most of them were from Ontario. Butter and cheese Neese makers have been in creat demand this year,particular- ly from Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. A number of graduates have secured positions in the Western Provinces at good salar- ies. Wages are also high in Ontario for first-class men to take charge of factories. Practically all those com- petentto act as head butter or cheese makers were engaged before the close of the term, The dairy industry of Canada was never on such a sound and satisfactory basis as at present, so far as assured and remunerative markets for milk and its products are concerned. The only drawbacks are scarcity and high price of feed, and lack of suitable labor, The latter is being overcome on many dairy farms by the intro- duction of a milking machine. What the cream separator has done for fawners in the way of improved and labor-saving methods of creaming milk, the milking machine will do in milking cows, which is one of the moat troublesome jobs on a dairy farm. As the year 1918 will mark the 25th year of Lhe dairy school sessions, it is expected to have at that time a re- union of all those who have been con- nected with the school at any time, as instructors or students. Itis hoped by the department that all who may read this will make plana to spend a day in Guelph, on a date to be an- nnunced'later, probably sumo time in March of next year.

Five French members ware the only ones to vote Against the measure, Mr. Rowell said that the Privy Council had rendered its decision on the Ottawa school cases, one 01 them declaring Regulation 17 to be valid and the other declaring the former Act whereby the control of the Ottawa Separate Schools was transferred to a Government Commtssion, to be in- valid. The Privy Counoll's declaim should be accepted by all concerned. He hoped that the Ottawa School Board would obey the law and he thought it was their du .7 to de so. Although Mr, Rowell did not think that the Government's proposed method of dealing with the matter now was the safest or surest way of securing the enforcement of the law, yet since they had taken the re- sponsibility of Introducing it he would not put anything in the way of the Government giving full effect to its policy as he fully agreed that the law should be obeyed. Both Mr. Rowell and the Prime Minister hoped harmony would be maintained between the races. NEW NICKEL TAXES Provincial Revenue Will Be Greatly increased—The Credit A great increase hi the revenue of the province which should tend to relieve somewhat the pressure of other taxation, comes as a direct re- sult of the campaign carried on by the Liberals in the Legislature since 1915 for heavier taxation of the Inter- national Nickel Company. Mr. Rowell, Mr, Carter and Mr. Dowart with other members have been fighting for this change and now it is coming.' It is roughly estimated that under the new system of taxation, it the Act follows the basis of the Commissioners' re- port, the International Nickel Com- pany will have to D a ythe province this year nearly a million dollars In a . d oft paltry40 taxation in teahe 000 $ , a year which they have been paying and which the Government was al- lowing them to pay until the Oppo- sition foroed the Issue. The Government bili affects not only nickel mines, but all mining con• ceras whose annual profits 'exceed $10,000. The tea is raised from 3 to 6 per cent., with a sliding scale of 1 per cent. additional for every five mil- lion dollars extra annual Drente. DRAW NOISY GEESE FADS IN THE SCHOOL Fads in the educational system in- terfering with the children of the province securing an adequate train- ing in fundamental subjects were dis- cueeed by Wm. MacDonald, Liberal member for North Bruce. He turned his attention particularly to the, regu- lations and examination papers in art. One of the questions which had been required of the puplls was, "Draw and paint the wild carrot in flower," "Why not have the chlldren," asked Mr. MacDonald, "taught to pull them out?" "A more practical question," he sug- gested, "would be to draw a picture of the Attorney -General with his ear to the ground." Another example of a question asked was: "Drew the noisy geese that gabbled o'er the pool." "What goose," demanded Mr, MacDonald, "put that on the paper?" And then he turned to the Minister of Education and said, "Why not clip the wings of those Jackasses who put such questions on the papers'!" "You mean the ears," called out Sam Carter, and eyerybody laughed, "The teaching of such stuff," conclud- ed Mr. MacDonald, "Is good for neither this world or the next" On the same evening Mr. Mac- Donald scored another hit with refer- ences to Government House, The Government is cutting oft a grant of $600 which it has given for several years to a country road in North Bruce. "Fourteen hundred dollars," he said, "for a Donegal rug for Gov- ernment Hattie and not a cent for the fanners of Malabel; seven hundred dollars for a commode for Govern - bowie and tot a cent for the farmers of Malabel; $446 for curtains tor the ball -room of Ooyernment Holum and not a oent for the farmers of Male - bell." And so he went on, contrait- bng item after item of the treatment a000rded to Government Hones and to the farmers. New Registration Scheme A complete change in the method of getting voters on the lists for pro- vinoial elections is embodied in the Government's hill to include women voters and soldiers who are away from their homes. In the oountles of the province a board, oonetsting of two judges, a eheritt, a clerk of the County Court and the Crown Attorney, will be responsible for the appoint- ment of enumerators for each town- ship to put on the names of all voters. Every woman of legal age, who is a British subject or who becomes such, will be entitled to vote. Racetrack gambling is still a very lave lotus, Lampert Wigle, Liberal member for South .
