Mosjasitoes are more numerous and more vicious this year than the oldest resident can remember. They are like the variety that once were reputed to be so big they could "climb, the trees and bark." The continued warm, wet weather is likely responsible for the 'swarms orf the pests, but it will be re- ,tuue'mibered that Oriflia oiled' all the swamps around there this spring at 'great expense to get rid of the mos- quitoes and it's just possible they have migrated to this more welcome district I I MUSIC EXAMINATIONS.

To the Editor: Several of the neighbors adjoining Victoria Park have brought to my notice the need of better accommoda- tion for strangers and tourists that coupe. to our park .daily to rest and lunch. The only way they can do is put two seats together. but at time of writing this article, August 7th, 'their was not a seat in the park except a 'broken one. Now, I believe people are doing their best to patronize our town and it's plainly shown by the cars packed on Main Street Saturday what should be done, and at once, is to put in a few tables' and some benches—and have ahem there, -- Band night those who aren't fortun- ate'enough to have cars, have to stand- around and those that have, if they don't get there early cal-. most have to miss church services to get where you can (tear and see). Where are the benches 9 They tell me there were lots at ono time; We need some attraction and accom'moda- 1 ,would tient to' hold the people that ,w tfd like to spend and shop,in our town but no place to spend an hour et so outside in -our parkthat has stieb a fine; attractive na'ine as "Victoria." ,SERiOUSLY ILL,.

TOURISTS INCREASING At the border, one gets : a glimpse of the hugevolume of tourist traffic 111 Ontario this year. It was estimated that 8,000 tourists slept at Niagara Falls on Saturday night last. Signs, "Rooms for Tourists" are in evidence everywhere in the city and anyone having a spare room at their home -is often asked to accommodate motor- ists, tired from a:long day on the road. On' a night when the city is crowded sleepy tourists go from door to door seeking any place to lay their heads, so sofas and cots, upstairs, downstairs and on verandahs—there are no mosquitoes—are put into serv- ice in many homes. A night's lodg- ing costs $1.00$1.50 per person, or $2.50-$3.00 per room. MANLEY. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hays and vliss 'Lucy Eckart, of .Detroit, and Mrs. C.
