Sir William Mackenzie, the well-
known railway magnate, has now a
baby grand -daughter. A cable: was re-
ceived at Sir -William's Toronto office,
a -few days ago, and forwarded to him
in Winoipeg, announcing the fact that
the Countess de Less*, formerly Miss
Grace 'Mackenzie, has presented Count
Jacques with a daughter. Count Jac-
ques stopped ' dropping _bombs on the
enemy -long enough to cable the news
to Sir William 'Mackenzie There ale

ing with the French aviation • corps in
the 'same machine with .his brother,
Count Paul de Lesseps. For some time
the two were aiding in the protection
of Paris from the German aeriat craft.
Since then their headquarters has been
at Le Bourget, seven miles northeast
,of ,Paris. In a letter received. in To-

Mr. George Wilson, Toronto manager
_
Of the Union Bank, has evolved a novel
scherne for providing tobacco and cig-
arettes for Canadian and Britsh troops
att 'the front. It is to obtain subscrip-
e cents and up from
anik. -For each quer-
ption a parcel con -
cents worth of to-
tes and bearing the
riber, will be sent to
some soldier. Large cardboard notices,
containing space or signatures,have
been :pint out to every branch of the
bank in Canada, and for a month the
money has been pouring in. Fifteen
hundred dollars already had been real-
ized, which will Itring a Iparcel of per-
sonal cheer to just four °thousand. men.
Naturally the Canadian troops will
be looked after first, but if the sub-
scriptions continue as they have begun,
many others a1sc will benefit. ,
Each parcel co tains a quarter pound
of emoking mix tire, fifty cigarettes,
and a box of matches. The bank has
undertaken to' purchase these, and sea
to their delivery which will be made
direct.

On looking aroend for new sources of
revenue to replenish the sadly depleted
Provincial treasury, the Provincial trea-
surer has decided to tighten up the
collections under the Succession Duties
Act, and has, accordingly, introduced.
an amendment to that effect into the
I Legislature. The new taxes are design -
I ed chiefly to reath the more -moderate-
sized estates and the parts of estates:
1 going to collateral heirs and strangers.
The new legislation provides that in-
stead of estates going to direct heirs
being exempt from succession duty if
under 150,000, the tax will be collected
on ail estates of $25,000 or more. The
taxon euch estates, ranging from $25,-
000 to $75,000, Will be 1 1-2 per cent.
In addition to that, at the present time -
estates going to collateral heirs er
straagers are exempt unless the estate
exceeds $10,000. This legislation will
make the tax payable on all estates of
such description of over $5,000, with
a. Six per cent. ;duty on all estates be-
tween $5,000 and $10,000, and over that
ten per cent. The Treasurer announced
that provision has been made to give
exemption from taxation to the testates
of all soldiers wao give their lives while
upon active service. No person will like-
ly object very etrongly to this form
of taxation. It ts not likely to affect
newspaper men very much any way,
although these propesed amendments
are drawing the lines pretty close. A
ten thousand dollar- estate would not
yield a very large income to a family
and in many instances the mother and
small children would have to be sup -
parted from it. It ;would, therefore; be
wrung -to tax such 'an,estate and the
Provincial Treasurer will not be able to
provide for much, new revenue from Suc-
cession duties. The man who in a short
lifetime succeeds in amassing a fortune
of from half a million to several mil-
lions of dollars, it is only right that
his estate should be liberally tolled for
the benefit of the -State, as no men can
lay up fortunes of these dimensions,
unless they have directly or indirectly
received ispecial favors from the state
and even after the toll is subtracted
there is ample left for dependents. But
with estates ranging from five to ten
or even twenty thousand dollars there
is not much margin, to work on.

Consolidated Schools
IA. largely attended meeting of the
ratepayers. of the Walton and adjoining
sections was held on Friday afternoon
and evening in the A. 0. U. W. Ball,
Walton, to listen to addresses by Mr.
S. A. McCready, Director of Agricultur-
al Education for Oatario and Inspector
Field on educational advancement and
"Consolidated Schools. Both speakers
dwelt on the fact that education in
the rural sections of this province is
stationary and that advance can only
come through the consolidation of
schooLs. The majority of aupils leave
the rural school before they have dom-
pleted the Fourth Book Course; in most
schools the attendance is too small to
bring out the %est in teachers and
pupils; the distances and weather con-
ditions make regular attendance im-
possible. When schools are consolidat-
ed, pupils are transported to and. .froth
school in- covered vans, making it pos-
sible for children to attend regularly
and punctually in all kinds of weather;
it makes it -possible for classes to be
graded BA in town schools, so that
pupils, are kept constantly employed
under the 'supervision of a teacher
specially fitted for that grade. With
such a school an education suited- to
the locality can be provided and it
makes possible the aural high school;
in this way pupils are able to receive
a high ;school education and still be
with their parents at an age when it
Is desirable that they should 'not yet
leave home. The advantage. of games,
large playgrounds, better equipment,
and greater permanency of teachers'
service come from Consolidated Schools.
There would be economy in the number
of teachers employed and in the cost
of fuel and caretaking. On the other
hand, the cost of transporting' the child-
dren to and from school would ete
heavy and would doubtless somewhat
exceed. the economies. At the same time
It was pointed,out that the additional
services rendered would far outweigh
any eitra cost.
Walton is ideally situated for such a
school; it is in the midst of a rich
argrcultural district, a shipping point,
a centre for rural mail routes and a
church centre; the 'attendance in most
of the surrounding schools is small dnd
in many eases the distances excessive;
to such pupils the advantages of Con-
solidated Schools can hardly be over-
estimated.
In the evening Mr. 'McCready illus-
trated the working of Consolidated
Schools in the United States and adani-
toba, with lantern slides. Others who
stoke on the subject were A. Hislop,
Rev. Mr. Lundy and Rev. Mr. Page.
The large gathering at both meetings
is a :proof of the interest of the pub-
lic in the question and the feeling was
undoubtedly favorable.

The New Liquor Law
The foilotving is a summary of the
bill amending the Liquor License law
which was introduced into the Legisla-
ture by Hon. dull.. Hannah on Tuesday
last. This summary is taken from the
report in The Toronto Mail:
The Government's proposals comprise
the establishment of a Provincial Com-
mission of five or more members with
full control over the license system of
the province, with power to refuse any
license CT to revoke any license issued,
but limited in issuing licenses to the
present number in existence hi any mu-
nicipality. Closing of all shops through-
out the province at 7 o'clock in the ev-
ening, and of both shops and hotels on
Labor Day. Prohibition of eale to ool-
diers in uniform either over the bar or
in the shops. The increasing of the pen-
alties for infractions of the Liquor Li-
cense Act. These ere the outstanding
features of the ,Ontielo Government's
temperance proposals.- Local commis-
sions will be wiped out, local inspec-
tors will give place to a more limited
number of experienced men, made re-
sponsible for districts, and the whole
question of the number of licenses to
be issued, and the hiours of sale will
be entirely within ethe dissection. of
the central corrimission.
According to the plans of the Gov-
ernment, the change will not be imme-
diate. The present administration will
be continued until after the licenses
for the coming license year are issued,
and as soon thereafter as the right
men can be secured—the local boards
will ,relinquish their duties. The lo-
cal inspectors will probably be continu-
ed for a longer period, perhaps six or
eight months, and then as the commln-

are sone of the former members of the - ,
