"ROAD" NOTES.
The difference between good roacla
and bad roads la the difference between
progress and etagnation, The tax for
good roade is fractional compared with
that levied, by bad roads, Resolutions
of this year'e Convention of Ontario
Good Roads Association (at which
practically every county in the Pro-
vince was represented).
That the Provincial Government
should give a grant towards the tnain-
tenance as well as the construction of
made ; that the Governments, propor-
tion towatds the cost of building
county road e should be incseased from
one-third to one-half ; that automobiles
should be either taxed per horn power
or per weight, the revenue thus recelv-
ed to apply towards the maintenance
of roads; that the statute labor system
should be abolished; that the Govern-
ment should regard permanent roads
in the same light as railroads which
were subsidized to the extent of $6, 000
a mile ; that, good roads as a medium
of quicker transportation would be
the chief factor towards re -populating
the rural sections; that good roads
would, do much toward e reducing the
cost of living ; that the license fee on
autos should be raised from $4 to $25
a year, and the revenue applied to-
wards road -making ; that the Govern-
ment grants assist in the construction
of all county bridges over 100 feet in
length.
Hon. Dr. Rea,ume :—One of the guess
tions of highest importance to be dealt
with by the Provincial Government ie
the maintenance of roads. It is the
intention of the Government to investi-
gate the kinds.of material suitable for
roads in various parts of the Provinee.
We intend to start right and feel our
way in carrying out the great scheme
that has been outlined.
Mr, N. W. Rowell :—The Province
should decide to build roads of various
grades according to the locality and
its traffic requirements; the burden of
cost should be partly -removed from
the local municipalities and the offer
of the motorists to pay a good roads
tax should be accepted.
Provincial Department of High-
ways :—Ontario has '50,000 miles of
road which could be classified as fol-
lows : 1. Trunk road, 5% or 2,500 mule.
2. County roads, 12% or 6,000 miles.
3. (a) Main Township roads, 50% or
25,000 miles. The improvement of less
than 20% of the mileage would accom-
modate over 80% of the total traffic.

Benefits of Roads :-
1—Decrease in cost of haulage.
2—Better facilities in marketing of
crops not otherwise marketable, an
especially valuable feature to farms
located in the vicinity of a large city.
2—The marketing of produce at the
most favourable times, an important
consideration in connection with per-
ishable products.
4—A wider choice of market.
5—The equalizing of railway traffic
and mercantile business between dif-
ferent seasons of the year.
6—The promotion of social and intel-
lectual intercourse between members
of rural communities, and also between
rural and urban populations.
7—The increase in the economy and
efficiency of rural schools.
8—Facilitation of the rural mail deliv-
ery.
9—Increase in the value of rural pro-
perty by making it more accessible to
cities.

MUM PARmegs' BILLS. WHY THE COUNTRY
TRUSTS BORDEN.
The Liberal party is always talking
loudly about Ro sympathy for the
farmer* of Canada. Sympathy le
about ae far as the Liberals ever go.
Their real position was hown up In
the Rouse this week when the Op-
position, recorded their vntee against
the two most important measures, as
far as the farmer is concerned, ever
introduced in parliament. One was
the bill to encourage agriculture and
the other was the Highways measure
of Hon. Frank, Cochrane, designed to
initiate on a. big scale a scheme for
better roads through rural Canada,
There ie no section of this whole
country that would not be immediate.
ly improved by the building of better
highways, and this is tree of both the
farming country and the market town
in its centre. The farmer who has
market town close at hand and a good
road by which to travel to it at any
time of the year is undoubtedly in a
better position than the farmer who
lacks either the market town or the
means of reaching it easily and safely.
The objections that were raised by
the Liberals to this bill were, as jn the
case of the agriculture bill, of the most
factious character. They wanted. the
money to be spent by the provinces,
and although. the Dominion was foot, -
Ing the bill they wanted the Dominion
government to have nothing to say
about the expenditure. Then they
wanted the minister to add a clause to
the effect that the division of the
money 'would be on the basis of popu-
lation. This despite the promise of
the minister and. the Premier that this
was the intention of the bill and des-
pite the fact that the money last year
placed in the estimates was appro-
priated on this baste. Because their
deniands were not met, every Liberal
voted against this measure as well the
Agriculture Bill. The fact is that they
were only looking for an excuse to
vote against the bill, trusting as they
did last year that the Senate weuld
again throw it out,
Several Liberal members openly
boasted that the Senate would again
kill the measure.
Already plans have been laid for the
local option and reduction campaign
to be waged the first of New Year,
and it is expected that next lst of May
another hundred or more bars will go
where the hundred went at midnight

THE BUSINESS MAN AND
HIS STATIONERY.
"18 The Cobbler's Son Well Shod ?"
The merchant encourages us always
to buy a good article in preference to
that which may be cheapest—he is
right, without doubt, but how often
he fails to Iearn this lesson himself—
especially is this noticeable in station.
ery—some envelopes which reach us
through the mail are a disgrace to the
sender.
We wonder if the merchant always
understands that his business is mean -
Bored oftentimes by the claof sta-
tionery he sends out—yes, even the
quality of the paper in the bills he
renders—we venture to say there is
nothing that points out a business
man's carelessness and general make-
up more plainly than the quality and
style of the stationery he uses. It ad-
vertises his standard—it announces
clearly to the public what class of
goods they may expect at his stere,
-If the merchant sends out a wishys
washy rag of a letterhead, envelope,
invoice or statement, the public may
reasonably expect the same quality
and cheapness in the merchant's stock
of goods.
Just think over the business firms
you are acquainted with and. notice
the quality a their stationery.
And Mr. Business Man, think this
over too and see that you do not suffer
for proper attention to this some-
times neglected but very necessary
detail.

Teachers and parents can accom-
plish a real service to the Country by
instructing the children to spare the
robine. The robin and. its nestlings
are perfect gormandizers when it
comes to making a meal of bugs and
caterpillars—the enemies of mankind.
The fledgelings eat one and two-fifths
times their own weight of worms and
insects each day. No wonder men
speak of these little birds "worth their
Weight it gold." No bird is niore wel-
come in the spring ancl summer than
robin red -breast. Robbing the nest,
breaking the eggs and killing the
young birds make cruel sport and
cause us all to suffer from a leek of
eeenoreic wisdom that permit; heart'
lee destruction of our songster friends

COMMITTED ON MURDER
CHARGE:
In spite of the strong plea made by
R. 8. Rays, counsel for the prisoner%
to have the charge changed from mur-
der to manslaughter, Robert Gordon
will be tried for murder at the Fall
Assizes in Goderieb. No date for the
Assizes has been set, as yet. '
The case came up before Police Mag-
istrate Holmsted, in the Town Hall,
on Wednesday, May 7th, at 3.30 Six
witnesses were examined. and High
Constable Wbitesides, of Hensall, was
examined at length.
In addressing the magistrate on be-
half of the prisoner, Mr. Hays said
that the charge should not be any-
thing more than manslaughter, as it
was clear that no attempt bad been
made by anyone to withhold the facts,
that there bad been no premeditation,
andsthat the father bad been the ag-
gressor. Mr. Hays pleaded that jus-
tice be tempered with mercy, since
not only the boy, but a most respect-
able family was affected in the
matter.
Crown Attorney Seager said he had
given the case considerable thought,
and much as he would like to have the
prisoner committed for matuslaughter,
instead of murder, he did not think
he would be justified in consenting
to it, and Magistrate Holmsted, agree-
ing with the Crown Attorney, the
original charge of murder was ad-
hered to, and Robert Gordon will have
to stand his trial in Goderich, at the
Fall Assizes.
The people of Seaforth have been
intensely excited over this tragedy,
and groups of men were to be seen
standing on the street while the trial
was going on, being unable to give
their attention to their businese.
Much sympathy is felt for the three
sisters and aunt of the prisoner, who
appear prostrate with the weight of
their double bereavement.—(Seaforth
Newe.
Starving The Fly.
Dirty lanes, uncleaned yards, expos-
ed heaps of tefuse, piles of mud warm-
ed by the strengthening heat of the
sun—all these are ideal places in
which the fly can start the season as
she bas been accustomed to do. The
swats of the swatters will fall with
mare effect on a fly which has been
weakened. by preliminary starving.
Flies are not good as hunger strikers.
Swatting is good, but starving Is
better.

THERE'S only one quality of Canada Cement. It is the
highest quality that can possibly be made with modern
• equipment, scientific methods and rigid inspection by ex-
pert chemists.
The Canada Cement you buy for a garden walk is the game
cement that it sold 'hp the trainload for great danis, elevatorti and bridge*. The
engineers in charge of these great works have ample facilities for testing the quality of
cement.
Canada Cernent
comes up to their most rigid requirenients.
The farmer has not theta facilities for testing the quality Of cement. He must buy
a product upon which he can depend for a grade that is always of highest ciactiiiy, and
that therefore does not need to be tested.
You can, place absolute reliance upon the quality of Canada Cement.
It's always the name and always the best. The large output -..-which enables us to
keep ihe price down, enables us also to maintain the factory equipment and organization
