THE LADS IN KHAKI. etas Bell Tsktbons Co. Ri bt to Uae .S heels "whom a Frauct+tsei' The regular meeting o< the town council was held on Friday evening. The absen- tees were Councillors Davis, Cooke and Robertson. A communication from Aid. Ashplant, of Londoa;,referred to the distorted question of the right of the Bell Telephone Co. to erect its toles within municipalities w out a municipal franchise. The council of London has challenged C1/14111 of the Bell Telephone Co. in natter, and it is suggested that of municipalities take a similar stand. The matter was referred to the special commit- tee. A petition from sewer workers for an in- crease in wages of 50c a day was sent to the public works committee with ;after to act. Police Sergeant Walter T. Moore was granted leave of absence for two months. to commence about Septempter 17. Seaetary Fowler of the Industrial Fair hoard wrote asking the council (or the us- ual repairs and other services for the (all fair . The cattle sheds were mentioned particularly as requ'ring a good deal of attention. The public works committee was empowered to act in the matter. Mr. J. Kidd. president of the hospital board, Judge' Dickson, Messrs. C. A. Nairn and A. W. Strickland loaned a de- putation that orated upon the council with reference to hospital matters. They asked that the council rebate the arrears of taxes on the hospital property at Napier street, stating that the board was quite unable lopsy them. Members of the council renewed the ob- jection that the hospital rates were oot sufficiently high. and that if they were rained to a proper level the hospital should be able to pay the taxes. The finance cornru►ttee had the matter under consider- ation sone time ago, and refused to rebate the taxes, but on nation of Councillors Wallis and Wilson the committee was asked to reconsider and to report at the next meeting of the council, Mr. Chas. Garrow, town solicitor, sub- mitted to the council a document executed by the National Shipbuilding Co. in accor- dance with the terms of paragraph 5 of the bylaw exempting the Company from taxation. This was to the effect that the Company should agree to give its consent in writing, whenever required by the mun- icipality. to the granting of municipal aid to any similar industry in the town dur- ing the currency of said bylaw. A conununicatson from Mr. J. E. Torn stated that the executors of the estate of James Dickson were prepared to pey tete sum of $100 (or the perpetual care of the (oto lots at the cemetery belonging to the estate. under the terms of the town bylaw providing for the perpetual care of ceme- tery lots. Mr. Tom .:suggested that a special marker should be placed to indicate each plot for which "perpetual care" had been so provided. The matter was re (erred to the cemetery and parks commit- tee. Sir Adam Beck, in reply to the council's invitation to address a meeting in Cock - rich this month, sent his regrets, as he found he would be unabie to come. The report of the finance committee re commended that the treasurer be instructs to make payments from the first funds avail ale to make up the deficiency in the sink- ing fund for the years 1916 and 1917. The special committee reported that, in the matter of the communication from the Naval Service Department with reference to installing a pulmotor at the Goderich life-saving station, the Department had been assured that the town would place a competent man in charge or the apparatus if the Government installs it. These reports were adopted. The list of wounded is a targe one, and this week we can only summarize the various carnes: Pte. Chas. Balker, gunshot wound an telt leg. Pte.

Depart. ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. The vege- tables must be stored over the first winter and replanted for seed production the fol- lowing spring. Some well-known veete. tabes of this class are beets. cabbage, car- rots, celery, parsnips, salsify and turnips. Seeds from these can easily be grown in Canada if the vegetables to be so used are kept in good condition over the winter. Unless a rigid selection is made, each year, of specimens which are true to type, it will not be long before a larger proportion of the crop will be not true to type; hence great care should be taken to select well - shaped, medium-sized roots, typical of the variety. of beets, carrots. parsnips, salsify. and turnips. firm -headed cabbage true to type, firm stalked and disease -resis- tant plants of celery, and firm, shapely onion bulbs. if this is done and varieties are kept far enough from others so that they will not cross the crop. Cana- dian -grown seed should compare favor• ably with imported seed in regard to purity, as it does in other characteristics. The methods of wintering vegetables for seed will vary in different parts of Canada, but in most places it will be necessary to give them some protection. When pos- sible, it is best to store them in a frost - proof cellar. But, if necessary, the vege- tables may be stored outside, both in small and in large quantities, except in the case pf canons, which must be kept dry, and Spred in a cool place where there is little or no frost.

At the same time there are some important mat- ters in connection with the labor situation which will make it impossible for me to attend. However, it is my intention to make a quiet visit to Goderich in the very near future. Yours faithfully, (signed) GEORGE BURY, (Copy) Vice -President. We regret to make this announcement, but the above letter explains our position in reference to C. P. R. Day in Goderich.
