In the Ontario Legislature,
IA ;t'ike of encouragement and op',ti-
.,,.•mism was s'ou'nded by IHon. IHerber.t
IA -Bruce, 'Lieutenant Governor, in ;de-
livering ,bhe pror,ogast'ion address from
the 'Throne durftng the ,closing 'cere-
monies .,of the ,fourth session of the
5P8'uh Legislature. The ceremony was
'carried out with the ,usual military
,display and :the vice -regal salute of
:fifteen guns, taccontlpahying 'British

'floor Of the assembly an'd the galleries
were nearly crowded.
"tit is encouraging to 'o'bserve !cer-
tain signs of iimpravement in the
'com'mercial •outl'dok," stated 'lion. 'Dr.
'Bruce. "Agriculture its in a .better pos•

continued expansion of the gold min-
ing industry is is very `flellpfu•l factor d'it
promoting the revival of 'business."
(Continuing, Han, iDr, IBwsce stated:
''While the 'gradual reduction of un-
•employment is ;lo,o'ked :for, it has been
considered advisable to give iStattltory

THE PERENNIAL BORDER

thod Par geherail effect 'for small bor-
ders is planting' a large. number of

Do Not Gamble
'The 'farmer who sows' elbea'p or un-

gambling with the odds 10 to (against
him. In this year of law prices, the
difference between the oheape'st and
the best seed is merely a few ce'n'ts per
