THE ca.,o COMPLAINT'
The town council, the horticultural
Society and The .News -Record have
been urging citizens to improve their
property!, put and keep their lawns
in good order, plant ,dower beds, etc.,
and generally brighten atings up. It
is good advice anSi it is gratifying
to n to that mat .1 n,
o ere
following it
up.Complaints
are beginning -to
come in already, howc er, as in past
seasons, about children—and the of-
fenders are not always children, eith-
er, but more often Collegiate students
who ought to know better—ruthlessly
plucking the flowers (rain the beds
adjacent to the sidewalks. This id a
mean practice and parents should
wart tle;ir clr`,ldren against indulging
tin it. Na matter how generously in-
clined people may be they do not en-
joy seeing their flower lends, over
which they have spent time and
trouble, stripped by rutl(esl.; hands.
It is of little avail that householders
spend time and money improving.
their property and beautifying their
grounds and thereby the town if
youths arld maidens are to be allow-
ed to wantonly destroy the fruits.
of their labors anti an example
should be made of some sue!" thought -
lessor o r i' i
m
cw ons ones.
A 0000 STARTING POINT.
The other day The News -Record had
a deservedly eulogistic item referring
to .Rev. Mark Itienball, so many
years the popular paeto: of Morden,
(Manitoba) Presbyterian clrirele, rend
son of the late Ebenezer Rumball, for
years a very high), .estoenieel resi-
dent; of Goderich township, Mr. Runt -
hall's position is somewhat unique.
His father was a stauroh Methodist,
his mother an equally staunch Pres-
byterians while the son was converted.
in the 1Io',neesville Methodist church,
and took his college course at a
Methodist school of learning. If ever
church union becomes an accomplish-
ed fact, it should be easy for Rev.
Mark Rumball to accept Methodism,
In this connection it might lye point-
ed out that the Holmesville Mott
&est church has been the hollered
agency by which several very promis-
ingyoung a } o u men have been ]ed into the
ministry. The late Rev. Robert
Craig, wino' was General Missionary
Secretary of the American Presbyter-
ian church at the time of his death,

Mr, Dean ('ourtioe, only son of Mr.

Science, Toronto, recently, taking
lienors.
Mr. (ourtice is a student of whom
Clinton, and especially the Collegiate
shoul(i be proud, his entire ,course
having been one of marked success.
It is often noticed that ,a young
roan who has a good chance of ob-
taining an education fails to take ad-
vantage of his opport uelties and
fritters away ifs time. Not so with
Dean, however. Every year of his
C. I., course he took honor standing
and was one year the winner of
Carter scholarship. He also won ehe
scholarship of his class in tis third
year at the School of Science and
passed his 11hal, year with honors. ' ,
Dua:ing the past' year Mt Cnurtice
specialized on hydraulics and it ds his
intention to devote his energies 'to
that class of engineering. • During
the long vacation last year he was
engaged for a couple of months with
the 'poronte water coamnissionel;s'.di
pertinent, 'thus gaining some ;peens
tical experience. He is now spending
a shoat vacation at his hone in
town before taking up the more ser-
ious duties oflife for which he leas
worked hard and conscientiously to
fit himself, ,'rho News'- Rebore eon•
