, The popular 4deu Hint tho P ro ­vincial elections should not bo bruncht on to disturb tho Christ­mas holidays is a good ono and it is to bo hoped it w ill lie observed. In fact tho holding of public elections o f any kind at that season o f the year may be said to bo out of place. I t has so long boon the custom to hold municipal elections at that time o f tho year that tho public has beoome accustomed to it and sub­m it irorn habit. But it is not the end of tho muii'cRml budnc.tt year, and tho incoming council iuvari­ably has to finish up tho business o f tho proceeding year. Thus it is that tho ratepayers ur.i every year compelled to jn y for what is pract­ically twice printmg the audit ot tho municipalities.

What’s the Price To-Day?The farmer who already knows the market prices for grain

and produce need fear no combination of buyers when he goes to market

How often the buyers *'get together” on prices every farmer knows.

How often has a farmer sold his grain in one town for a couple of cents less than »the buyers were paying in a neigh­boring market?

It pays to keep posted on the markets.

The T oron to Daily Star has the best market reports of any city paper. It has men who do nothing else but study the markets—who give it all their time and attention, and you can get all this information in the Star every weekday for a year and your own local paper as well for $2.20.

I f you save a cent a bushel on only two lcad3 of grain by knowing the prices it will about pay the price, won’t it ? Besides think of being in touch with the world’s news every day.
