town in order to control it and keep their 

 taxes down, and after killing all efforts at 

 reform proceed with the usual routine of 

 having the tax levy adjusted to suit them- 

 selves. Nor should you choose women who 

 have run all church and social organizations 

 until there is a feeling of rebellion against 

 their further rule. Rather choose the most 

 successful, go-ahead young business men 

 and popular progressive women for your 



officers — people who make successes of their 

 undertakings. Above all, do not in your 

 public meetings abuse your city officials. 

 Rather work in harmony with them. You 

 will find it the wiser plan. If interest 

 enough has been aroused to call a meeting 

 in some public building there will be plenty 

 of people present who will be able to con- 

 duct the meeting and its election in an or- 

 derly manner. 



NOVA SCOTIA FRUIT GROWERS. 



WE have received from Mr. J. W. 

 Bigelow, president of the Nova 

 Scotia Fruit Growers' Association, a copy 

 of his annual address, which is printed for 

 distribution. In it he reviews the fruit 

 not planting ornamental trees as soon as the 

 province, and the history of the associa- 

 tion, which dates back to March, 1863, when 



a few public spirited fruit growers met at 

 Halifax and had an organization effected; 

 also points with pride to the free school of 

 horticulture at Wolfville, established in 1894, 

 and supported by voluntary contribution, in 

 addition to a maximum g^ant from the legis- 

 lature of $2,000 per annum.
