These same farms, or rather their very much im- proved brothers, would not bring half those prices on the open market to- day, if they could be disposed of at all.

WILL PUT THE SMALL HOSPITALS OUT OF BUSINESS An order in council has been passed by the Ontario Government refusing recognition as a registered nurse to any person who has received her training in a hospital containing less than fifty beds. If that order is enforced, it means that there will not be a hospital in Huron County, and that some fifty other hospitals operating throughout the Province will also be forced out of business. In any hospital a nurse in training receives that training in return for the work she does in the hospital during the years of her course plus a small money remuneration, during her fin- al years, the amount of which may vary with the hospital. If the smaller hospitals are unable to guarantee to secure registration for their nurses, they will, of course, have no applicants for their positions and will have to pay all their help at the prevailing rate. That means have. Certainly with the great ad- vances that have been made, farmers should be living under very much bet- ter conditions than their fathers and grandfathers did. At the same time, no matter how extravagant some of their demands may appear to be, that is no reason why they should be forced to pay two prices for everything they get. As it is now they receive just about half of what they pay in taxes for these very things, while the other half of their money is expended by the Gov- ernment in other ways and in other things. We would not like, however, to fully endorse that part of the Peter - boo resolution which calls f n a re- duction of twenty-five per cez. in all government salaries. Ontario's business is the biggest business in the Province, and if it is to be carried on successfully and with profit to the people, competent men have to be engaged. A competent man may be, and often is, cheap at a high salary, and we doubt if the Gob- ernment is paying any of its officials anything like the salary the heads of the society, and is as follows.

If each hospital was setting its own examination requirements, there might be some justification for such legislation, but as it really is the op- portunities and the qualifications are the same. In fact, the nurse who re- ceives her training in a well equipped small hospital has, if any thing, the advantage over one who trains in a large city institution, because in a small hospital she receives a more thorough all round practical training than it is possible to give in a large institution.

Postmasters received word Wed- nesday that the rural mail couriers are to have Christmas this year as a holiday!, in common with all Icivil servants and employees in the post office and local banks, post offices and public places of business will be dos- ed. The mails, however, will be re- ceived in and sent out in the regular way. Those mailing parcels to the United States and the Old Country will please remember that all parcels weighing over 8 ounces require to have a custom declaration attached and which forms can be received at the local post office, to be filled out and signed by the senders. And with the great in -rush of mails during the Christmas week, patrons will save themselves much time and long wait at the post office by not following the large number of mailbags right from the train, as it takes a good deal of time to pick out for two long distance rural routes, as well as opening and putting away the avalanche of mail for the local post office, and confusion and crowding will be largely overcome by waiting a reasonable time before expecting to get mails, as each year seems to bring la ,;er mails. Mrs. C. A. McDonnell very pleas- antly entertained her Sunday school class on Friday evening of last week. A very pleasant time was spent. The Oddfellows of 'Hensall Lodge held their second social evening in the lodge room on Friday evening last, when there was a good attendance and a most pleasant time spent.

The meeting opened with a few well chosen words from Mrs. Kerr. A hymn was sung, followed by prayer by Mrs. Kerr. Scripture read- ings were given by Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Dickson and Mrs. Hills. The minutes of last meeting were read and the reports of the several committees were given, which were all very grat- ifying to the society. Mrs. Neil Gil- lespie then gave a short talk on the Scott Institute in Toronto which she visited recently and which was very much enjoyed. Mrs.. J. .Stewart gave the 'Glad Tidings prayer. The preSfi- detit and secretary vacated their chairs and Mrs. K. M. McLean presided and tailed for 'the 'report of the nomirnat-• 3fig +doinnhittee, which was approved by TAXES ON THE FARMS The Welland•Tribune in a recent is- sue said: "A gathering of fifteen hun- dred farmers at Peterboro voiced a protest against the taxes which agri- culture is compelled to pay, and pass- ed resolutions asking the Ontario Gov- ernment to extend relief by paying the entire cost of provincial and coun- ty roads and by reducing all govern- ment salaries by twenty-five per cent." That is a pretty sensible resolution as far as it goes, but why did it stop there? Why did not the Peterboro farmers ask that the Provincial Gov- ernment assume all costs in connec- tion with proviafial elections, with old age pensions and with the admin- istration of justice? It is a well known fact also that the money raised in gasoline taxes, not including the car and permit licenses, exceed by many millions of dollars, the actual amount expended by the Province on the building and maintenance of our roads. Why do not the counties ask that the money collected in gasoline taxes froth the individual residents of each county, in excess of the actual amount spent by the Government on the roads and highways of these counties, be returned to the county tred'suries? There is nothing unfair in such a •request or demand.` In fact, farm taxes have reached such a peak that it is high time the Government not %,Poly lent a sympathetic ear to such requests front .a.gricultnrai Ontario, Wet' 1irolef' £ e cit 'as well. fillet fifty years mtiy' tv`e aid have, music and will be assisted on Sunday evening by Mr. S.
