PAGE TWO CUT YOUR SOW THISTLE NOW is the timely warning of the Department of Agriculture in this issue. A drive through York Coun- ty will convince one that the advice is needed; It is a very prevalent weed which mars the otherwise beautiful appearance of many a' field in the Townships in this district. Weeds reduce your yield and kill the fertility of your land. Co-operate and rid the country of this nui- sance. It will mean extra work but the work will pay you rich divi- dends in increased profits. We doubt very seriously if the “Let’s Go” Sunday leaves in its wake minds and bodies that are refreshed to take up with renewed vigor the work of the week ahead. There has been a passing from the stage Where the day was marked With too many restrictions, but it looks as though the pendul- pm were swinging too far in the opposite direction. People are paying too great a price in money, in physical energy and in the abandonment of the sacred significance of the day. And there used to be a time when people sang a hymn about Sun- day, and it started something like this: 0 day of rest and gladness, 0 day from care set free. It would be sheer nonSense to say that the Sabbath Day, as an in- stitution, had ceased to exist. There are thousands who make a very wise and profitable use of it. The attorney-general of Kansas is chivalrous. He has ruled that vomen of that state who register to vote need not tell their exact age Inless they want to, provided they declare themselves to be over 21. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO.

LEVEL CROSSING ACCIDENTS 'An automobile accident at a railway crossing a few days ago snuffâ€" ed out the lives of three young children, and seriously injured their father, who was driving the car. A few moments before, they were happy and smiling, enjoying their automobile trip. After the crash, they lay lifeless in the wreckage of the car, innocent victims of a mo- ment’s carelessness on the part of their father. Surely the lesson of this accident should, be driven home to every motorist. Some crossings are said to be dangerous for automobiles, yet it is not going too far to suggest that to the truly careful motorist, there is no such thing as a dangerous crossing. The really careful driver will take such precaut- ions at every crossing as to make it impossible for him to be involved in an accident. Simultaneously with the report of this accident comes the record of such happenings for the first six months of 1928. ThlS record shows that in thisperiod there were twenty fatal crossing accidents, and fiftyâ€"five non-fatal crossing accidents. It is pointed out, too, that this record is decidedly better than for the siit months of 1927, when there were thirty-one fatal and sixty-eight non-fatal accidents of this character. This decrease may seem an improvement, but the record is still a black one. It may be that in time all the reckless drivers will be killed off in accidents of this kind, but the pity is that often others besides the driver are killed. Every crossing accident is avoidable, and the figures of mortality caused by them should be driven home inâ€" to the mind of every motorist, so that, as individuals, car drivers will firmly resolve to take no chances at level crossings, and, what is more important, will live up to their resolutions. Let’s go! That phrase, so much in use for advertising sporting events, seems to have a fairly broad application now to what people do on Sunday. - Let’s go! It’s too quiet to stay around home, and have a rest on Sunday; it’s too hot to go to church; it’s not woi‘th while doing a little serious~mjnded reading, so let’s go. It was hot on Sunday, yet it was possible to keep fairly comfortâ€" able by sitting still in the shade, for there was a breeze. But that is not the point. Let’s go! A dog on the farm is a useful animal, almost a necessity but the log that doesn’t stay at home on the farm throughout the‘ night as vell as the day usually gets into trouble and becomes a menace to the 'ommunity. This has become only too evident by the large number if sheep claims paid out by Township councils in recefi 1; years. Mid- iight wandering canines are a menace to the community.

Pasteur- ized milk should be procured or, if it cannot be bought, the milk that is supplied should be boiled for three minutes, or it can also be pasteurized at home. The milk should be kept on ice, covered, and so protected from dirt, flies and insects. When Mr. J.
