Some of the daily papers are unduly sarcastic in their remarks about farmers in connection with the defeat of the day- light-saving fed in Parliament. prom the correspondence in those same city papers for the past two months, there are many others beside farmers who are opposed to the fad, and for given reasons city office employees, lawyers, civil and uncivil servants (none of whom go to work before 9 a. m.) are in favor of day- light saving, so also are sportsmen, as it gives all these an extra hour for idleness and pleasure.

There was also complaint that the erten were not promptly paid, badly housed and poorly fed. It was a striking commen tary on the cause of the rumors that within a short time twenty thousand troops were on their way to Canada. Col Pratt named several Officers at Argyll House who had made themselves particu- larly offensive to the civilian soldiers from this country and declared there was scarcely a Senior Officer in Canada who had been returned under the surplus offic- er ruling who had not experienced heart burnings. He instanced another com- plaint that Canadian soldiers were kept iu detention for weeks at a time without being brought to trial and told of an oc- casion where three thousand pounds had been exacted from Canadian Officers and erten while enroute to board the Olydnpic for Canada. These matters . should he made the subject of investigation and those responsible should be dealt with in a proper manner. Honorable F.

Perhaps the most con- structive measure of interest to rural com- munities was the bill introduced by the Minister of Agriculture providing for gov- ernmerit aid for Community Halls, This measure establishesea new departure in government policies and empowers the government to make a grant of 25% of the cost of corwtructing a community hall up to the maximum of $2,000, This . grant will he made entirely upon the value of the building and the precaution is taken that the site is suitably located and the style of }wilding is suitable for the purpose This is a serious effort on the part of the government to extend its policy of social betterment into every rural community and is designed to co-ordinate with the various activities of the department of Agriculture, t h e Provincial Board o f Health and the Provincial Moving Pic- ture Bureau to provide entertainment of an attractive a n d enduring character throughout the country districts.

Wingham, • Ontario A large amount of business w a s dis- patched in a short„ time after the House got into Committee of Supply on the con- clusion of the Budget Debate. The supplementary estimates for 1919 were under consideration, In the absence of Honorable Dr, Cody through illness the estimates of the Department of Educa- tion were handled by Honorable G. How- ard Ferguson. The first item of interest was a vote of $10,000, for medical and dental inspection in public and separate schprols. It was explained that this sum was being used chiefly in propaganda work through the Women's Institutes. There was also an item of $214 400, for technical and industrial education. It is intended to appoint an Assistant Director of Technical Education with several assistants to visit the various centres of the Province and advise on the need of facilities for techfiIcaltraining. In connection with agricultural educa- tion an amount of $7,000 was voted to assist in the improvement of poultry, the idea being -to maintain a system of educa- tion and inspection to eliminate the drones in the flock. 1tollowing the announcement that legis- lation would be secured ,to permit the consolidation of schools in rural distridts a grant of $100,000 was made to assist in this work. Mr. Ferguson explained that one of the chief problems in the way of consolidated schools was that of transpor- tation tation andpart of this amount would be used for the conveyance of pupils. The policy of the government is to con- serve local economy in consolidated schools sections although all proposed con- solidation are to be subject fo the approv• al of the Minister of Education. It is provided in the legislation that two country schools may unite and it also per- mits of a school section being divided where it is considered advisable that only one part may enter a consolidated school section. In all cases the consent of the ratepayers must be given before a division can made Colbe. A. C. Pratt, member for South Norfolk made a startling speech on Tours.. day last when he reviewed some of his ex- periences overseas. He charged that the overseas administration at Argyll House, London, was incompetent and permeated d with favoritism, While vindicating Gen, Turner and two or three of the Senior Officers of contributing to this policy he said that he meld not say the same for many of the subordinates Referring to the recent riots at Kimmel Camp lie de- dared that these riots were the result of entire indifference on the part of the over- seas administration to the comfort of the mets, After the armistice was signed the .Admiralty offered sufficient tonnage to tratg,sport 60,000 a month to Canada and it was exasperating to the men at Rhyl to learn that while they were detained in, England through supposed lack of vessel CHANGES IN ASSESSMENT ACT Municipalities May Partially Exempt Dwellings Toronto April 1 — Legislation giving municipalities power to give partial ex., emption from taxation on the homes of people of moderate means will be brought down by the Government at the present seasion of the House. The special assess- ment committee of the Legislature tonight adopted a recommendation by Sir William Hearst, providing for a graded exemption upon the following basis.: - Houses assessed at not more than 82,000, to be taxed on 50 per cent of their value. Houses assessed at not more than $2,- 500, to be taxed on GO per cent of their value. Houses assessed at not more than $3,- 000, to be taxed on a 70 per tient basis. 1 -louses assessed at not more than $4,- 000, to be taxed on a 90 per cent basis. All houses exceeding 54,000•in value, to pay taxes on their full valuation. Sir William explained that it was pro- posed to give rural municipalities similar power to enable them to exempt all farm buildings upon the basis given. It was also thought well to give authority to municipalities to entirely exempt the homes of soldiers. The Prime Minister also announced the readiness of the Government to agree to, an increased exemption on personal e aa- ings, and, following his statement, a mo- tion was adopted making the exemption to householders and heads of families in cities$ 1,700, instead of $1,500, and in Wroxeter Bots Return Pte, George Hunter of Fordwich, re- turned home from overseas last week. Pte. Hunter enlisted with the 161st in Wroxeter. He went to France with the first draft from that battalion and `erved with the 58th there for nearly 2 years. During his stay in Wroxeter "Scottie" made many friends who extend a hearty welcome home. Pte. Robt. McKercher arrived:, home from overseas on Tuesday last. Bob went over early in 1917 and saw much service in France with a construction battalion. 1 -lis many friends in Wroxeter extend a heartly welcome home. Would Buy at Home "I am opposed to the movement among farmers to buy all their goods from the big centres" declares Charles Stewart, ex - reeve of Ashfield, and himself a prominent Huron County farmer and member of the U.
