The receipts of $8,157.,078 in. pay -

capital account constitute the story
in brief of the Ontario Government's
financial relations with the Provincial
Hydro Commission during the fiscal

Minosa to the public treasuiy as a re,
suit of the further advances made
during the year now stands at the
sum of $146;ti29,307, The whale of
this debt, however, is interest-bearing,
as all sections of the hydro enterprise
are now earning and paying their in-
terest and cerrying.chargee,.
These salient figures on hydro fin-
encing were made available by Prem-
ier Ferguson at the Parliament build-
ings. In connection with them It is
interesting to note that the Govern-
ment took advantage of the favorable
condition of the money market during
the year on hydro's behalf and suc-
ceeded in renewing certain hydro
loans at a lower rate of interest than
the one which had previously been
prevailing. By this policy a saving
in interest chargestotaling $160,293
was effected for the commission.
"A proportionate reduction," Prem-
ier Ferguson said in commenting up-
on the matter, "has also been effect-
ed in the carrying charges of the

WHAT BOYS AND GIRLS READ
Youth's Companion
Moralists, some of whom have no
children, are always warning modern
parents that they do not assert them-
selves enough in the management of
their children. and that they are
themselves to blame for the manifest
rejection of authority by the younger.
generation. The harassed parent,
confused by a state of society tha

and girls whose practices seem a

hen that has hatched them from the
egg, things he may, indeed, be at
fault, but is quite uncertain how to
go about dealing with the situation.
It may be true, as many parents
assert, that the old-fashioned meth-
ods of discipline and education do
not produce the results that were
once expected from them, and that
childreu do not so much rebel against
such methods as good-naturedly ig-
nore them. But that is no reason for

Poison Ivy is a low shrub Which la
propagated by underground branches
as well as seeds. It scrambles over
stumps of trees or, as in the case of
the variety radicans, it climbs by
means of aerial rootlets to some
height up fenee posts and trunks of
trees. The long stalked leaves are
divided into three distinct leaflets
which are mostly ovate, pointed, en=
