THE' R OY•AL BANK OF C A N A D A CLINTON BRANCH • . - E. E. PATERSON, Manager, OF INTEREST TO YOU AND ME Wingham has fixed its tax -rate •at :fifty mills this year, so ,Clinton's for- , ty-four looks rather .low. Tomorrow is the longest day in the ;year and we have, not had two hot -days together so far this. season. Wp have had more rain during the • past few weeks than fell in any one of the past thiee er four seasons. This ought to ensure good crops. If it rains much more we . shall hear' the farmers complaining of roots rotting in the ground, etc. Lit- tle work can be ,done on the farms 'this week owing to, the rain. • Bass fishing season opens this year on June 2901. This is a special concession of the department to far - eft Dominion Day week -enders who wish to cast in'a line on Saturday. What about our civic flower beds this year? They look pretty badly neglected,. The council voted $10 for them, an inadequate sum, of course, but even that does not seem to be being used. Those flower beds, when looked after by the Horticultural So- • eiety, added muoh to the appearance of the town. In fret, nothing adds so much to the beauty of any town as well -kept lawns and flower gardens, and a civic beauty spot here and there throughout the town is so much • to the good.
