In many Canai,dian towns "Clean-up Day" has become an established cus- tom, and, without any special effort on the Part of those interested the work is efficiently carried out. In litany others, however, practically nothing has been, or is being done. Due to the inefficiency of those re- sponsible, indifference, numerous municipalities are in a sadly neglect- ed state, as evidenced on every hand. Canadian conditions make a clean- up in spring a necessity. Owing to the cold weather and the abundance of 511017, sanitary conditions are 'not at their, best. Lanes and aliop•ways become 'littered with garbage, ashes and waste -paper baoky'ards, cellars and attics , harbor refuse which are both useless and dangerous. With the melting of the snow this accumula- tion is exposed to view, the thawing of garbage permits of speedy decay, and a very dangerous condition is at once established, Municipalities should provide suflic- ' Limited.

Not Very Patriotic. (From Luekliow Sentinel.) A,Wslkerton paper tells of a school trustee in (Kincardine township, who, because the teacher had at ono :time taken a half-day oil, and at anoth- er time, owing to bad roads, lost a half-day while assisting in entertain— meats given in the interests of the Red Cross rund, called ata indigna- tion meeting of the School Board, with a view to seeing what should 11e done with,the teacher. This chap is on a level with the farmer, somewhere near ' Lueknow, who recently entered a drug store to purchase a quantity of formalin, but declared he would not hate it if there had to be a war tax stamp put on the bottle. "He wasn't going to pay no war tax," 11e said. Fortunately, this contemptable ele- ni'ent, willing to enjoy all the advan- tages of Canadian freedom, bought with the blood and the money! of others, begrudging t0, pay even a penny'* or maize the least sacrifice, is not large.: The pith is they cannot he all gathered up and sent over to live in Belgium until the end of the Zurich Mr. John Dumart of Parkhill was a caller among old friends in town last week one day.
