BY-I.A)V TO IIE SUBAIITTED TO NORTH VAiN. RATEI'AYERS Dr. E. A. Henry preached last &unday morning at the United Church to the members of L.O. L. No. 2990, who were present : t the service, taking as the sub- ject of his sermon "The Heart of I'rotestantism." The genius of Protestantism, he said, was with the liberal progressive and dy- namic type. Not all Protestants were of this t)~e but that was the heart and characteristic of genuine Protestantism. Protestantism stood for an open bible, and as such challeng- ed and accepted investigation. It was a protest against intol- erance in its beginnings and had remained so through the centur- ies. In this Dominion with its two peoples and two tongues unity could only be attained and main- tained by tolerance. Protestantism stood for free- dom of thought. It believed not only in the open bible but in the open mind. The early church was characte rized by human brotherhood and co-operation, but as the years progressed. it was split by the rise of classes anil church distinctions, which split human life. illodern life is saturated with the get-together tendency. 4Ve have trade union- ism and Rotarianism as exampl- es of this. Finally Protestantism stands for religious revival ~ The refor- mation was essentially that. The I eople of medieval times were gov- erned by scholastic philosophy, sacramentalism, and ritual ob- servances. Political tyranny and nrirrow persecution gripped the world. Today we are menaced by materialism. IVealth is wor- shipped anil the pursuit of pleas- ure has become a ruling passion. 'There is a great modern need for a new sense of God and of living with a spiritual firmament. A by-law to provide $ 10,000 for hospital purposes will be sub- mitted to North Vancouver City ratepayers, August 14th, accord- ing to present pllins of the city council, which gave the by-law its introduction and three read- ings at a special meeting Mon- dav night. A similar by-law wi)1 be submitted to North Vancou- ver District ratepayers for the same amount, as the joint liabil- ity of the city and district is $29,000, to be borne equally. The debenture is spread over 10 years, with 5 per cent. inter- est payable half-yearly, rather tlian paying the ivhole amount in one year, which will have to be done by increasing 1930 taxes in the event of the by-law not being endorsed by ratepayers.

Give a garden a little encour- aging help and see how quickly it responds with greater beauty. Gardens are like people, they do better if they are coaxed a bit. In July there are many things you can do that will aid in keep- ing the garden looking its best. The loss of water due to evap- oration during July and August is more than twice the rainfa!I of these two months. under nor- mal conditions. As a plant's very existence is dependent on suffic- ir-nt moisture to make soluable the plant foods in the soil it should hardly be necessary to stress the necessity of supply- ing this need either by conserv- ing the moisture already in the ground by constant stjrring of the soil surface, or by supplying additional water by way of sub- irrigation or "artificial" rain. Plants will endure drought for long periods if their roots con- riect with moist soil deep down. They can in a measure control the amount of water that passes out through their leaves. How- ever, they are unable to regulate that which iq drawn up by the sun and wind from below the surface and evaporated. If the surface soil is stirred the capil- liary avenues tire broken and evaporation thereby arrested, The rake or the hoe may be «ffectivelv used in maintaining a dust blanket to an even depth of not less than one inch nor more than two. The finer this dust and the more frequently stirred the better the moisture is retained. Somewhat the same effect is obtained by supplying a protec- tive mulch of lawn clippings, etc Even weeds may be used, pro- vided they are used before seeds have formed. Using a mulch of this kind has been found quite effective in conserving moisture and also a saving in labor. Nev- ertheless, this should occasion- ally be stirred to protect against weeps growing through it. Somewhere I have read that bracken fern is a very good niulch. I have never used it, but see no reason why it should not be used. It dries quickly anrl soon would have a tidy appear- ance where used.

MANSON POLL TAX On the 17th of April, 1920, the Provincial Legislature decid- ed that the Council of any Muni- cipality in the Province may by By-law fix and impose a poll- tax, not exceeding five dollars, on every male person, within the meaning of Section 2 of this Act, who reside ivithin the boundaries of the 4ilunicipality or within the boundaries of the blunicipal school district where such district embraces territory not included in the illunicipality, and on the 28th day of June in that year the i~lunicipality pass- ed the authorized By-law. From that till the present vear those liable to pay poll tax have been notified of their liability by pla- cards, posted throughout the Alunicipality so that all might read them rinll pay the tax. A few may possibly not have seen those placards and some may have read them anil allowed them to escape their memory. In fairness, therefore, to those who have regularly paid the tax a notice has been sent by post to «ll those known or conceived to be liable so that each may bear his just share of the com- mon burden. ..A.
