RE GARGAGE COLLECTION
At the last meeting of the Town
'Council it was decided that the
charge for Garbage Collection would
be $2.75 for half-year period or $4.00
for the period of a year. This was
a very wise move by Council and,
no doubt, many will avail themselves
of this service.
In a great many towns and cities
in this province garbage is collected
and charge on the tax bill whether
the owner or tenant wish this serv-
ice or not. The charge for this ser-
vice is as high as $12.00 per year,
-while here the charge is extremely
.reasonable at $4.00 per year.
The weekly removal of garbage is
a fine means of keeping the town in
.a sanitary: condition and the people,
of this town should use this public
.service if at all possible.

!iORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
DOES GOOD WORK
There is no disputing the fact that
flowers and shrubs do more to beau-
tify the home and town than any
rather means. The lesson does not
stop with beautification as the case
of flowers is really; one of the bet-
ter things in life.
The display of flowers at the Dis-
trict meeting of the Horitcultural
Society last week demonstrated that
the members of this Society are
making a determined effort to raise
flowers of rare quality. The display
of flowers at this meeting was not
as large as it might have been, but
,demonstrated without doubt, how
proper care will help nature to make
ifloral growth yet more pleasing.
While we are on Horticultural
work, it will not be astray for us to
mention that the local Society has
planned great things for the Bell
.Factory property. They need your
iheip, either in money or in work.
'This is a most deserving project, be
.sure and do your part by notifying
.the. Town Clerk that you will help.
Premier Ramsay MacDonald, of
Great Britain, has very successfully
brought to a conclusion the Laus-
anne'
aus-anne' Conference on 'reparations and
debts between Great Britain,France,
Germany, Italy, Belgium and Japan.'
This should have far-reaching effect
on the trade ills of these •countries.
This is a splendid. start, and if the
United States will now reduce • the
debts of the 15 countries that owe
them, conditions would brighten up
considerably.

Successful Conclusion of Lausanne
Conference, Triumph for
;Ramsay MacDonald
Lausanne—Germany war ' reparat-
ions will be ended by a treaty, bring-
ing to a close the arduous labors of
the Lausanne conference on repara-
tions and debts.
Agreement was finally achieved,
'through the unwearying efforts of
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald
of Great Britain, who through days
of disappointing deadlocks never
gave up hope of bringing the chief
parties, France and Germany, to an
accord.
The treaty, which will be signed
by Great Britain, Germany, France,
Italy, Belgium and Japan, will drop
the reparations annuities, which un-
der the Young Plan, were to have
run for another fifty-five years, at a
total figure of abount twenty-five
billion dollars.
For the reparations annuities will
ba substituted a German final liabil-
ity of about $750,000,000. This will
be a bond issue to be put out when
Germany's credit position permits, It
will not be capitalized for at least
three years; if it is not issued with-
in fiifteen years the final liability,
too, will be dropped The price of
the bond issue will be 90, so that
the ultimate German sum will be
2,700,000,000 gold rnarks or 675 mil -

Loan by Ontario
In Three Days
Official announcement of the clos-
ing of the subscription list to the
$20,000,000 Province of Ontario bond
issue last Friday, coincided closely
with information from an authorita-
tive source that some $200,000 .had
been saved by the Province by rea-
son of the new method of market-
ing the bonds directly to the public,
saving brokers' commission.
"More than one-fifth of the total
amount of the loan was sold in dei-
nominations of $100 and $500. The
demand for $100 bonds far exceeded
our expectations. The net cost of
this money to the Province is the
cheapest of any Provincial Govern-
ment or large municipal loan since
