I wonder if someone who knows
could 'explain satisfactorily ihosri it
is the tax was put on sugar in
March instead of May. As I under-
stand May let was the date set by
the Government.
The weather still continues wet,
rain, rain and then more rain. The
farmers are getting rather impat-
ient as very few can do much on the
land.
(The• tax on sugar was to com-
mence operations at once, as soon as
the budget was announced. The date
-for the commencement of some other
taxes, such as that of a stamp on
cheques under five dollars, was fixed
for May ist.—Ed.)

so much to the point that one man
remarked that if it had been de-
livered five 'or six years ago it
would have been of great benefit.
Still, the probability is that nobody
would have heeded it then. Those

Cox and E. Paterson. The next

ening, Apr. 25th, when Mr. Arthur

Every industry, be it large or small,

Every such industry brings new capital to a

Among local industries there is none

than that of the local newspaper. Not only
does it provide employment for a certain
number of workmen, but it offers a service
to the community which could be obtained
in no other way.
In their own best interests, there-
