(Continued,)

Oa© can scarcely realize the irrita- iion that such explanations natural- ly cause rural school trustees, who ere working overtime endeavoring to get qualified teachers. I fancy I see !the honorable member for West' Hastings giving this explanation, particularly to the trustees of a sec- -tion where the assessment is over ^40,000, and where though they ad- terüse once and have no applications trom any qualified teacher they must still spend money in advertising a second time before the inspector is allowed, by a superlatively foolish regulation of the Department, to grant a permit to any person to teach in that school.

First then, there is a scarcity of labor of all kinds, next, we are a nomadic race, and then the honorable member for West Hastings, not seem- ing to have satisfied himself that he has given any sane explanation of the difficulty, consoles the trustees in the rural section with the information that there is a great surplus of teachers over in England, and that w© may import them. This, Sir, is comforting advice to parents, especially of the poorer class, whose sons and daughters are practically debarred jtrom taking up the teaching pro- legion owing to the centralization policy of the Government and the wiping out of our model schools. I ©ay. Sir, to debar our own young men end women from entering the teaching profession, and then to suggest io the trustees that they import leachers from England, is adding in- BUH to injury; and I repeat were it not for the serious condition of affairs such explanations would be a very interesting burlesque.

Then, Sir, there is that guileless youth, that extremely innocent young hian, the honorable member for South Renfrew, who cotiies forward with an explanation. How extremely guileless he is ! ‘‘I will show the Honor- able Leader of the Opposition,” says he, ‘Vhat is the cause of the scarcity of teachers in the rural districts,” and holding up in his hand a report of a speech by the President of To- ronto University, which apparently says that 25 per cent, of the university graduates go west, he gives this as a complete explanation for the scarcity of teachers in the townships. How innocent, how extremely innocent the honorable member is! He is under the impression that young men and women immediately upon - being graduated from Toronto Uni- versity go forth into the townships to teach in our ''''ols. He is evidently trying to gt. '”Gh Ihe Premier’s explanation, t has turned things upside down, a:;d he will have university graduates .cro out to the townships to teach public schools, and doubtless he will have our model and normal trained teachers go and lecture in the university. On second thought, however, I am inclined to think the honorable gentleman is trying to qualify for a position in the Education Department, and is endeavoring to display his fit- ness for such a place by seeking to show that he knows absolutely nothing about educational affairs. He is shrewd enough. Sir, to know that if h© is to be in line, an absolute condition precedent to his receiving an apTpointment is, that he should show utter ignorance of educational afliiirs generally, and particularly of any question bearing uptm the welfare of our rural schools.

Technical Education. Many a time and oft have I dis-

cussed this question on the floor of this House and elsewhere. Fs»r rea- sons already stated I do not lairpose to occupy the attention of the House but for a moment on this qutistion. On the main merits of the case there can be no justification whatever for this Government's delay in adopting a full and sweeping system of technical and industrial education, that will cover at least all manufacturing centres in this province. Nothing, Sir, would add more to the success of this province as a manufacturing centre than to have well trained, ©killed mechanics in all our work- shops. Any educational system that tends to lead or drive young men or young women to the professions, and to take them away from either the farm or the workshop is ill-balanced, and should at once be adjusted. I bave freauentlsr pointed out. Sir, that this province spends on aa average per annum $1.38 on every public and separate school pupil, $4.66 on every high school and collegiate institute student, $112 on every model and normal student, $126 on every university student. Sir, I do not com- plain of these expenditures; my voice, I hope, will never be raised against this or any other Government making as liberal a grant as possible for education generally; but what, Sir. is this province doing, or what has it ever done for the large class of young people who are forced to leave school at an early age, say from thir- teen to fifteen years.^ Can the province afford any longer to take the position that it owes them no duty.

tion hns both a financial and an ethical side. Once again Î say. Sir, that this province can no longer, from either an educational or ethical standpoint, afford to say 'to the twenty, or thirty, or forty thousand students, whom chill penury drives from our public .«chools to the workshop and such like places, that it has no obligation whatever and owes them nothing whatever. .All along the line substantial aid is given to the high school student and university student, and none to the lad whose parents possibly cannot afford to send him to school—even to the high school stage. In other words we help the sons of the wealthier and decline to give any assistance whatever to the poorer lad.

Germany perhaps, furnishes an illustration of the splendid results arising from a well considered and fully developed technical and industrial system of education. Here, our continuation classes are conducted purely along the old scholastic lines; there, the continuation class is practically an industrial continuation class. Beginning with the continuation class, the state never loses sight of the practical side of life. The question of technical and industrial education is so closely allied with that of trade and commerce that one can readily understand why the empire as a whole pays so much attention to this matter.

In Germany the schools are, rough- ly speaking, supported as follows: 23 per cent, of the cost is paid by tuition fees; 49 per cent, by grants and dona, tions by municipalities, employers of labor, and from other philanthropic sources; while the empire as a whole contributes about 28 per cent.. It is a matter of common knowledge that in every village, every town and city, in th's province a larger number of the more ambitious of our young men and women have for years been endeavoring to get some general knowledge of the sci'>ntinc principles that und'liie the:: I'.IJ vocations through sch' ils of c rre.agcndence. These yov r men a ; ! vomen have been for* ■ to leave >ur "ublic and separate :.L!IOO1S at un eaily age, and leaving commenced life’.s battle, realize the ncce.ssity for a better equipment and the rpsvH is iliac they sign con- tracts with these outside schools, and in nine cases out of ten they find it practically impossible by means of such correspondence schools to get ’•'V cT- ot benefit, and ti.ey drop 1he

c<’ ’rso and pay their largo fees with very unsubstantial returns. It has been stated that from the Province of Ontario in thi.s way there is sent out every year approximately $1,000,000 to these correspondence schools, situ- at'^d south of the line. If this estimate i? at all approximately true, and I think it is, and it is supported by teachers interested in industrial training, it shows absolute demand on the part of these young men and women for technical industrial training. Assuming, Sir, for the sake of r:*_”ment, that the amount of money tbu.- •• U out annually is even only

and placing the support of me industrial schools upon the same ha.i; as now exists in Germany, r ’y, that the students should pay 23 per cent, it will be readily seen that there is now going forth from the provinces an amount of money that will justify the annual expenditure in all of $2,000,000. The tremendous amount of money practically wasted by these ambitious young men and women all over the province is another strong argument in favor of immediate action on the part of this Government. There should have been no delay. We, on this side of the House contended last year that this Government should have ap- pointed a commission composed of competent educationists, to not only ascertain the facts within the pro- vîîiCe, but also to by way of inter- viewing boards of education, boards Of trade, municipal councils, and such like bodies, to have (conducted a regular educational propaganda in favTA of a general system of industrial education.

Text Books. Honorable gentlemen speak of the

wonderful saving to the people of the province in connection with school books. The honorable member for Monck says that during the currency of the agreement the people of this province will save $360,000; the honorable member for West Hastings puts it at $750,000; the honorable member for West Toronto raises the limit, and makes it a clear million. How beautifully, and indefinitely it grows with each calculation ! Not only in Toronto, among retail dealers here; but also in every village, every town, and every other city in the Province of Ontario, every one knows what a tremendous advantage has been given to one large departmental store in this city, to the detriment of every retail trader in the Province of Ontario. The agreement with the Eaton Company is drawn so as to make the scliool book contract a direct advertising medium for that large departmental store. The bargain is so made, that a farmer living out in the township, can buy direct as cheap from the T.^ Eaton Co., Limited, as the retail 'dealer can. What is the result of such an agreement, and what else could be the result? None other than to induce people all over the Province of On- tario to write direct to this large departmental store for their books. Then, Sir, for example the books go back wrapped in a “bargain day” ad-

vertisement or, say, millinery, ready- made clothing, or whatever the lino may be. with the result that the orders pour in through the mail order department for purchases along these lines, and thus the whole retail trade of the province is hit by this cun- ningly devised agreement. The agreement i>lnces every hearthstone in the whole iirovince directly tributary Xo the Eaton departmental store, anvd Invites everybody in the province to send in orders by mail for all classes of goods.

Then,Sir.as to the co.st of the Read, ers: the publisher is furnished with the coj)yright; the province pays a committee to proi>are the manuscript and make the selections for the R(>adcr.s; all plates and electros are paid for by the province; the type is actu.ally se't up. and then all this is handed over to the Eaton Company, and they are asked to run the Read* ers off. And the people are deceived and humbugged with the statement that 49c. is the whole cost of the Readers.

Reciprocity. Now, Sir, I take up the question,

which the Honorable the Provincial Treasurer introduced very naively into this debate, technically justify- ing its introduction on account of its alleged effect on the Temiscaming and Northern Ontario Railway. Without discussing the correctness or incorrectness of the principal reason given, let me say at the outset that I do not propose to give a silent vote on this question. The honorable member for West Toronto justifies the discussion of reciprocity by this House on the ground that it affects the people of Ontario, and therefore we have a right to discuss it. By parity of reasoning, and because education, and ail the laws and regulations in connection with it in this province, affect all members at Ot- tawa who come from this province, they then will be justified in placing on the order paper at Ottawa a resolution with reference to our model schools or our normal schools, or some other such question. I fancy. Sir, if some Libert member at Otta- wa, from Ontario, were to attempt to do this, not only would the occupants of the treasury benches here, but the member for West Toronto would join them in a pretty violent de- nunciation of any such Ottawa politician, and would raise a Iremondoiia cry about the fact that the provincial field was being invaded. I regret, Sir, the growing tendency in this House among Conservatives in their desire to have a fling at the Government at Ottawa. What must the necessary result of such a practice be, if Conservatives of this House unnecessarily go out of their way to find fault with the Liberals at Otta- wa, and similarly the Liberals here were to do the same witli reference to Conservative members at Ottawa? The necessary result will be to lower .the tone of debate in this House, and to lower the dignity and standing ef this Legislature. Anyone can readily see that (lid 'public uiulor such cir- cumstances v/ould be justified in con- cluding, and could come to no other (•■‘■''nclusion. tlian that the members of this Legislature were more henchmen or shouters for the politicians at Ot- tawa, and thus this Legislature would hold, in public opinion, a decidedly inferior position. I have no such views. Sir, of the rights and duties of a Provincial Legislature. We act. Sir, by the same sovereign right that politicians at Ottawa do; we derive! our powers and responsibilities from the same source, and we ought not in any way to lower or degrade our position. My position is this. Sir, that while every member of this House as a citizen of this Dominion' has an absolute right to discuss any, question that affects the Dominion, it is doubtful procedure for us, I care not what the precedent may be, as a Legislature to deal with the question of Trade and Commerce, which by the British North America Act is assigned to the Dominion Parlia- ment. However, Sir, leaving this aspect of the question aside; a? a matter of pure party politics, I welcome th-î discussion of this subject upon the floor of this House, though I doubt the wisdom of it. I am bound^ to admit. Sir, that the Honorable the Provincial Treasurer realized that he was treading upon doubtful ground, and he took great pains to explain that he only referred to the question because of his fear that if the reciprocity agreement is consummat'd the result will be injurious to the Temiscaming and Northern Ontario Railway, which is owned and operated by this province, and therefore upon that ground, and that ground alone^ did he seem to justify the introduction of the discussion. In thus fikr- rowing the reason foi introducing this subject, the Honorable the Pro-, vincial Treasurer was more careful; and judicious than certain other, honorable gentlemen who have ^ken.. , - , - —

Canada Has Nothing to Fear In the Terms of the Proposed Arrange-

ment— Political Union an Impossibility

•TTiat agreement has been reviewed, discussed, and canvassed in the press of the country, in meetings of public bodies, and in Parliament, and unless I greatly misapprehend the trend of j public opinion, unless I fail to read ' aright the signs of the times, I think X can V I'.ture the assertion that the policy which is therein involved has met with the approbation, nay, with the enthusiastic approbation, of a majority of the Canadian people.”

This was one of the opening pas- sages of Sir- Wilfrid Laurier’s speech in the House of Commons, Ottawa, on ; Tuesday in support of the proposed reciprocity agreement between Cafiada and the United States. “I am perfectly aware,” he said, “that the policy has not been universally accepted, that It has met in some quarters, and, 1 may say, rather unexpected quarters, somewhat stubborn opposition. It is a well-known fact that at present an organization has been created in the cities of Montreal and Toronto for the purpose of fighting this agreement. To this I have no exception to take. Those who do this are perfectly within their rights. Neither will I under- estimate the importance of such a movement, and still less the importance of the men who have placed themselves at the head of it. But even In this, whilst fully recognizing the importance of that movement, I do not think there is any serious cause for alarm ir. the agreement.”

Attitude of Conservatives The wonder to him was that there

should be any objection at all. “Who can deny,” he asked, “that we have now reached a stage in our relations with our neighbors which all parties In this Hout: have been seeking for the last 40 years? Who can deny that If 40 years ago, in the early days of this Confederation, if 30 years ago, or 20 years ago, or even fourteen years ago, when we took office, it had been, possible to obtain such a statement In the American tariff as is embodied in this agreement, there would have been rejoicing in this country? The fact, sir, cannot be denied. The evidence of it is to be found in the fact that the two parties into which the people of this country are divided, apart on all other questions, were always agreed in the opinion that the' relations which existed between us and our neighbors were a blot on our common civilization. There is further proof of this fact in this, that of the two parties who divide the cou itry, one after the oth^r and each in succes- sion, wore a good deal of shoe leather traveling from Ottawa to Washington In order to obtain, if possible, an Im- provement in these relations. Still better evidence of the fact is to be found in this, that when Sir John Mac- donald introduced the National Policy In 1878 in this House, he did it ;.s a means to an end, with a view of ob- taining ultimately reciprocity of trade with our neighbors.” In support of this statement the Prime Minister read paragraphs from the policy of the Conservative party in 1879 and asked why the attitude of Conserva- tives had changed. Reciprocity was their policy when they went out of power in 1896.

“What is the cause,” he asked, “of the change of attitude which we see on the other side of the House? That cause cannot hut be flattering to this Government. The only reason given lo that Canada to-day is prosperous as she never was before. If Canada were Btill in the position in which we found It when we took office in 1896, with its vast fertile lands still unoccupied and untllled, with its natural resources dormant as they had been since the early days of creation, with its trans- portation facilities still in the most rudimentary stage, with industry stag- nant, with agriculture unremunerative —were Canada still in that position. I have no doubt that to-day the policy We are proposing would be received With favor, and the empyrean would resound with exultation. But the country is, instead of being in that condition, prosperous, extraordinarily prosperous, and we are told by honorable gentlemen opposite, ‘Do not go any farther, fold your arms and let well enough alone.’ ”

Canada and Progress That was the policy of China which

had left well enough alone for four thousand years. “This is Canada, not China,” continued Sir Wilfrid, “and we Shall have to go on whether hon. ^ntlemen opposite will follow or not. We will drag them on, even against Üieir will. Our policy has been, is, i and will be, so long as the Canadian j people continue to place in us the confidence they have shown us during fifteen years, to seek markets wherever markets are to be found. We are above all an agricultural people, c.r chief wealth is the growth of those products of the temperate zone: fruits, cereals, and vegetables; and it is our boast—but a boast founded on actual experience—that in cereals, vegetables and fruits we can, without exaggera- tion, beat the w’orld. At the northern extremity of the temperate zone, our cereals hare more'strength, our fruit has better flavor, our vegetables have more delicacy than cimilar proluc- tlons from other parts of the world;

under free competition, not barred

In any way by tariff legislation, they * will displace all other products on the tables of the wealthy. Our object to- day is to open the door of the Ameri- can market, to open the door of a nation of 90,000,000, which has been closed to us for the last fifty years; and when we are now on the eve of reaching that long-sought object we are met by objection after objection, we are deluged by a plethora of soph- iism; we are told that If such an arrangement Is to go into effect, and Canadian vegetables, cereals, and fruits can crc-s th*» boundary line and be eaten free of duty by the American people, it will be all over with the Canadian Confederation, and even the British Empire will reel and rock upon its foundations.”

No Canadian Sacrifice The Premier then proceeded to discuss the agreement In detail, beginning with an expression of gratitude to the negotiators. Mr. Fielding and Mr. Paterson had obtained from our neighbors an advantageous arrangement, and without the sacrifice of any Cana- dian interest. In this connectic ; he replied to Mr. Foster, who had stated that the two gentlemen mentioned were very ordinary men. "Then he went over the list of the Cabinet,” said Sir Wilfrid, “taking them In turn, this one and that one, and at last he came to my poor humble self, and of my poor humble self he spoke as follows: ‘A - an of such fine financial mind and business acumen as the Right Hon. gentleman himself who leads the Government.' I have never posed as a man of fine financial mind or of business acumen; but when I see the pretensions put Up by some men who dabble in finance and business, I am surprised at my modesty. If I had dabbled In finance and business I am prepared to admit that I should have made a sad mess of it; but I could not have been worse than my honorable friend. If, after having posed as a business man and financier, I had nothing to show but a record of failure I would go and hide myself for very shame, and be very chary of throwing stones into other people’s gardens for fear they should be returned to ms with compound interest.”

There had been four objections to the proposed agreement. The first objection was tnat the effect would be to deflect the carrying trade from Ca: • dian channels to American channels. The second was that it would destroy our natural resources. The third was that it would imperil our industries. And tno fourth was that it would dis- solve our autonomy and land us ultimately in the American Republic. Regarding tho first, the Prime Minis- ter points out that at iho present time by the bonding privilege goods go from Canada to bg shipped from Bos- ton, New York, _f :.ny American port without paying duty. In the same- way American goods come to Canada to be shipped out by Montreal, Halifax, or St. John without paying duty. A cargo of wheat can leave Winnipeg for New York and there be discharged and put on board ship without duty being demanded. cargo of grain can leave Minneapolis to be taken to Montreal and shipped thence without paying duty. That privilege had been in existence for sixty years, but he had heard no complaint that it was unfair to one party or the ot!-<»r. ‘

In Canadian Channels “It does not follow’,” continued Sir

Wilfrid, “that for my part I am opposed to the policy of retaining in our own channels, Canadian trade; on the contrary, I am very solicitous in that respect, and I think I can show by the records of this Government that wa have favored the building of lines through Canadian territory from east to west, with the intent of keeping trade in our own channels. If you attempt, however, to prevent the people from trading in natural channels, no amount of legislation will accom- plish that object, but l«t nature alone and then the trade will be carried on on Canadian lines. Why? Because we have the Interior weter^Yay3 and the shortest and the better '•.I's. Take the condition of things to-duv. Winni- peg can trade with Europe by way of the United States, it can trade with Europe by way of Canada. The line of railw'ay from Winnipeg to Montreal Is 1,414 miles, and from Montreal to Liverpool 2,760 miles, a total of 4,174 mile.J. Prom Winnipeg to New York, by way of Minneapolis, Chicago and the American lines, tho distance is 1,790 miles, and from New York to Liverpool 3,026 miles. The American line is 4,826 miles, the Canadian line Is 4,174 miles, a distance in favor of the Canadian line of 692 miles. Do you require any legislation, I want to know, to compel trade to choose the Canadian channel? Is it not obvious that for very self-interest trade will slways take the Canadian line, because it is the shorter one?”

The Premier quite agreed with honorable gentlemen opposite that the home market was the best for all kinds of products, but he pointed out that this agreement referred only to natural products, all of which the Canadian people could not consume. He had been reliably informed that the consumption of w’heat Is between six bushels and seven bushels per head. If that was the case, the Canadian consumption of wheat, assuming a population of 8,000,000, would be about 50,000,000 bushels. 'If that was the proportion of the consumption to the production of Canada, then Canada consumed only fifty per cent, of her production of wheat.

“Where is the balance to go?” asked 31r Wilfrid. “Our friends say we have the English market. So we have. The English market is quite ample enough to take the surplus production of wheat In this country for many years to come, although we are sure the pro- iuction will increase ten-fold bye-and- bye. But, sir, there are otlier products than wheat which the British market cannot absorb, or cannot absorb with the same convenience as the Ameri- can market can.” For this reason It was to our advantage that we should have not only the British market, but the American market also.

The British Preference Sir Wilfrid now proceeded to dis-

cuss the agreement in its relation to the British preference. He took positive Issue with the statement that this arrangement would put an end to every possibility of mutual preferen- tial trade with Great Britain. The Government’s policy in this, matter re-

mained unchanged and unaffected 1}^ the proposed reciprocity. "The Uana- dian Ministers at the conference In 1908,” said the Premier, ."stated that they were prepared to give' to Great Britain a preference on manufactured goods In our market If Great Brlt^ would give us a preference on our natural products in her market. Great Britain does not export many natural products; on the contrary, she is a large importer of natural products. We are exporters, not of manufactured products, but of natural products, and we are large importers of manufactured products; and we havé given to the Americans only a free entrance to our market for their natural products, as they have given us a free entrance to their market for our natural products, and how can that effect the Bri- tish Islands? Surely, It in no way at all affects our trade with Britain, The United States can enter our market with their natural products, but it is certain that England will never send a bushel of any kind of grain to Canada. However, England can givé us a preference in her market for our natural products if she chooses to change her policy, and then we are prepared to give her upon her raanu-i factured products a corresponding advantage. Lir, the policy of Canada is just the same as it was three months ago when this arrangement was made; It Is the same to-day as it has been for the last twelve years, and It will be the policy of the Canadian Govern- ment at the next Imperial Conference which will open in May next. What, then, of all the shrieks and lamenta- tions and Imprecations we have heard from all sides upon this point? Sure- ly the question has not been properly thought out, for if it were it would have answered itself.”

Manufactures Not Affected

The rriroo Minister then took issue with the objection that the agreement If carried into effect would destroy" our natural resources, nor did he believe that it would imperil Canadian Industry. “The only Industry affected,” he continued, “is that of agricultural Implements, on some of which the duty has been reduced from per cent, to 15 per cent., and others from 20 per cent to 15 per cent. It would have been pleasing, for myself at all events, to go beyond that, but we considered that if e did we would perhaps not do justice to the large body hich has invested money in these establishments. The Government does not exist for the farmers alone, or the manufacturers alone, or for any one class, but for the manufacturers and the farmers and for the classes which compose our nation. I do not mean that there should he any antagonism between class and class. I do not admit that there should be any antagonism between the manufacturers and the farmers. The manufacturer is the best customer of the farmer, and the farmer Is the best customer of the manufacturer. Let them walk hand In hand; let each profit.”

The Prime Minister now proceeded to combat the last objection, namely, that reciprocity would ultimately mean political union, if not annexation. “Once the conviction of every American citizen,” said Sir Wilfrid, “was that the Canadian Federation should become a part of the American

i Union. Recent events have shown that there are still men in the United States who harbor that hope. But there are also men who are beginning to perceive that the Republic, though its career has been glorious, has yet many questions to solve and many dangers to face, and many of them are beginning to recognize that the solu- tion of their difficult problems would be seriously complicated, perhaps fatally impaired, if in the territory cf the republic was to be included another territory as large as our own, with a people not yet as numerous but destined to be as numerous as their own, with problems of their own to solve, and whose union with the United States would only add to the complications of their own that the American people have to solve.”

I A Word to Americans

I “If my poor voice could be beard throughout the length and breadth of this country, and If, without any pre- sumption, it could be heard also beyond the frontier, I would say to our American neighbors that, flattering as It may be to their pride, the idea that the territory of the Republic should extend over the whole continent from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the waters of the Arctic Ocean is an impractical dream. Remember that we Canadians were born under the same flag as were your ancestors, a flag under which, perhaps, they may have suffered some oppression, but which to us has been and is how more than ever the emblem of freedom. Re- member that if you have founded a nation upon a separation from the motherland, we Canadians have set our hearts upon building up a nation without separation; that In this task w’e are already far advanced, with our institutions, with our national entity as a people, and with everything that constitutes a nation, to whom we are just as devoted as you are to yours. Remember that the blood which flows in our veins is as good, just as good, as your own, and that if you are a proud people, though we have not your numbers, we are Just as proud as you are, and that rather than par^ with our national existence, we would part with our lives.

I “If my voice could be heard that far, I would presume to say to our Ameri- can friends, first: There may be a spectacle perhaps nobler yet than the spectacle of a united continent, a spectacle which would astound the worl4 by its novelty and grandeur: the spec" tacle of the two people living side by side for a distance of 3,000 miles, a line which Is hardly visible in many quarters, with not a cannon, with not a gun frowning across it, with not a

•fortress on either side, with no arma- ment against another, but living in harmony, iu mutual confidence, and

1 with no other rivalry than a generous 1 emulation in commerce and the arts I of peace. To the Canadian people t j would say that if it is possible for ua I to obtain such relations between those I two young and growing nations, Can-

ada would have rendered to old Eng- I land, the mother of nations, nay, to ; the whole British Empire, a service I unequalled in its present effort, and still more In its far-reaching conse^ ûepces.' * \

SPRING REMINDERS OF RHEUMATISM

Raw Damp Weather Starts the Pain, but the Trouble Lies in

the Blood.

SplinK weather ie bad for rheunmtic sufferers. The changes from mild to severe weather, cold, raw, damp winds following mildness start the aches and twinges, or in more extreme cases, the torturts of the trouble going' But it must E>e borne in mind that it is not the weather that causes rheumatism, the trouble is rooted in the blood—tlie changeable weather merely starts the pains. The only way to reach the trouble and to cure it is through the blood. The poisonous rheumatic acids must he thrown off and driven out. This in a solemn medical truth every rheumatic suderer should realise, Lin- imentsand outward application may give teDiporary relief but they never did and never can cure rheumatism. Any doctor will tell you this is true. Tl).' »uderer is only wasting time and aiooey witn t is sort of treatment, and All the tiui • the trouble is becom- ||^ tnoi'e firmly rooied-ând harder to CÙÏ-. There is jusi one sure, speedy <mre rheumatism — Dr Williams' Pink Pillfl. They act directly on the weak, impure and tainted clood. They purify and strengthen it and thus root out Ime .cause of rheumatism. Here is a bit of proof out of thousands of siihilar cases that might be given. Mrs F. X Boisseau, St Jerome, Que., says : —“For almost two years I was « ter- rible sufierer from rheumatism. The trouble fii-st located in the right leg, making^ work about the house impossible, and walking very didicnlt. I tried to cure myself by means of all sorts of liniments and lotions, but with no result — it was only money wasted. The trouble constantly grew worse and the pains more unbearable. Finally it attacked the other leg. and 1 was all but helpless and completely discouraged, thinking I would be a sufferer for the rest af my life. At this time I read in our home paper of the Li le being cured by Dr. Williams’ Pij ' Ms and I decided to try them. \fu-i using the pills for several weeks

1 could see that they were helping ■ -d I continued taking them until

. . d used nine or ten boxes when every symptom of the trouble had dis- arpe‘’red and I could walk as well as ever I did- Had I known of Dr. Wil- liams’Pink Pills earlier I would have saved myself much suHering and much money spent in other useless treat- I'uent as well.**

Whether you are ailing or not a few boxes of Di . Williams’ Pink Pills will increase your vitality and give you increased sMenglli to withstand the tor- rid summer weatiier coming, when even the strongest feel easily fagged out. You can get these pills from any deaL-*r in medicines or by mall at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Willi\nns’ Medicine Uo., Bockville, Unt.

Sure Cure For Thrush ' Worst Cases Yield To Donglas* Egyptian ÜDiinent

Mr. J. I4. Bcyei, SecreUry of the Nupanee Driving Park Association has had a good deal of experience with thrush on horses’ feet, and has tried various remedies. He writes

“I have cored bad cases of diseased feet or thrush on horses with Bayptian Liniment with two or three applications, after calomel, salt, coal oil, etc., had completely failed to do the work. I consider it a waste of time to xise anything but figyptian IJnimeat for thrush”. Such as emphatic statement from an experienced horseman speaks volumes

for Douglas’ Egyptian Liniment. Another mas who has found it most effective is Mr. John Garrison, Morven, Ont He says:—

"One of my horses had thrush to bad that hla feet became offensive, and the neighbonrs advised me to shoot him. Before doing so I decided to try Bgyptiaa IJaiment» and in a short time my hone’s feet were aa •oandascTcr”. 80

HR INTERESTINC COSE Ross V9. McLaren;—This very inter-

es^trng and important action has just been decided. On October 7. 1898, the defendant purchased from one Isa- bella Fraser of the Village of Lan- caster, -a property on the west side of the Military Road, in the said village, together with a right cf way over -the south 11 feet sLx Inches of Miss Fraser's adjoining property for a distance of 70 feet from the Military Road westrw'ard.

On October 12. 1908. the plaintiff Purchased from Miss Fraser the said adjoining property encumbered with Dr. MdLaren'.s right of way.

In the fail cf 1910. the plaintiff Thomas Ross, attempted to build a fence along the south side of said right of way on the line between the properties of the plaintiff and the defendant. Dr. McLaren objected to this and under legal advice pulled out the posts put in by the plaintiff. The plaintiff Immediately started legal pro- ceeding. asking the High Court for de- claration of his right to fence his property and asking $600 damages. The plaintiff proceeded on the well known principle of law that every person has the right to fence his property. The defendant while conceding the general principle contended that the building of the fence w’ould greatly depreciate his property and cause him considerable .trouble and expense and he further contended that the fence was entirely unnecessary.

In the erection of the fence by the plaintiff provision was made for the erection of four gates by the defendant if he desired *to build them.

The action was tried before Chief Justice Sir Glenholm Falconhridge without a jury, January 10, 19fll. Judgment was delivered by the learned trial Judge last, Wednesday dis- missed the plaintiffs, action with costs. MJacLen-nan & Glirie, Gblidltors for plaintiff.

CANADA’S QIFT

TO THE TWELVE NATIONS

Wo doubt now that Canadian Farmers are to be Exposed

to the Competition of all the Great Food Exporting

Countries of the World.

From The Canadian Century When it was first made known that

Reciprocity Compact not only gave 'American farmers free entrance to iCanadian markets and extended the Caime privileges to the United 'Kingdonn and the British colonies, but also opened the door wide to the Argentine îtepublic, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan Bolivia, Columbia and Venezuela, Canadians in general thought there must be some mistake. They could not believe that without getting any concessions whatever from any country except the United States our Government would admit farm products from all those countries into Canada to compete freely with Cana- dian farm products. The wording of the Reciprocity Agreement "was very plain; there seemed to bo no doubt about the meaning; and yet it was such an extraordinary arrangement, so unfair to Canadian farmers, and so likely ito lead to disputes with the American customs officials that many people believed that the Government would give some explanation showing that the agreement had been wrongly inter- preted. now'cver, there is no longer any such hope. Mr. Robert L. Bonden questioned Hon. Mr. Fielding on this point and Mr. Fielding admitted that ihe Reciprocity Agreement meant ex- actly what it appeared to mean and ithat Canada would get nothing whatever in return from any of tlie twelve

foreign nations or the British countries that share with the United Stat- es the privileges of sending their farm products freely into the Canadian, market.

If the Reciprocity Compact simply provided for free trade in farm products between Canada and the United States there might reasonably be dif- ference of opinion as to whether it would be advantageous to Canadian farmers or not. We thinli that oven such an arrangement would have been a bad bargain for Canadian farmers, because the surplus of fann pcoducts in the United States is enormously greater than the surplus of Canadian farm products, because the farming season is earlier and longer in the United States, and because our farmers would alw'ays be at the mercy of the tariff legislation of the United States Con- gress, while they would have no voice in the election of Congress, but still there would be room for argument as to whether our farmers would gain enough by admission of tlioir products to United States n>arkets to compensate theim for losses in the home market; but from the farmers' point of view nothing can be said in favour of allowing tw’cive' foreign nations and the food-exporting British colonies to send their farm products freely into Canada without giving our fai'^iers anything to compensate them for this unexpected competition in the Cana- dian home market.

RECIPROCITY WHAT THE PLAIN

MAN WANTS.

A Straight forward and well thought out Letter from the pen 01 a Greaville Man which appeared in the

Keraitvi l Advance Editor, Weekly Advance, Kem,{>tville:

Dear Sir:—Reciprocity may be teimply explained. What

may boon it

would be if the newspapers would give a simple, straigiitforward account without long confusing words and sentences, or misleading state- ments.

At present one might liken the reciprocity question to a creek, where a crowd of small boys with «ticks have stirred up the mud until the bottom cunncL be seen.

After a whil.: tlio daily papers may discover some other ‘^creek” to stir up; then the reciprocity movement will run clear, and the plain man may get a straight look at it and fieo what is in it.

Cue particularly croobed stick (in the mud) is called “annexation.” •It is a rotten old stick, llirown away years ago, but some flirty boy has hauled it out; anything to muddy the stream.

The old, old trick. When there is no real genuine argument against progress imaginary dangers arc invented flags are waved, drums are beaten and H tmu 1 • , , r.\

just concluded in; triumph an interna- tional arbitration question at the great Hague Tribunal; wo have a.s- sumed control of our own defense forces; next year we will join in celebrating a century of peace with the United States.

Docs it make this country appear manly in the eyes d the w'orld’, to be crying out lest our neighbors an- nex \is? Most certainly it docs not.

Blit Champ Clark said it! Who is Champ Clark? One man,

one politician in America: and because Champ Clark said we aro going to be annexed must we fall on our knees and l>clIow like big boob- ies?

Every Canadian citizen (worth his .«alt) knows that iP the United States consisted of ninety millions Champ Clark&' we should sti'l continue, ro preserve our independence.

It is a shame, it is an outrage, it is hiimiMating to this country that one faction should persist in making Canada appear ridiculous in the eyo.<? of the world by hmvling “Annexa-

op-

to op- Na-

unscrupulous papers print . heavy «care headlines. All to confuse the common man and hide from him the only information he wants: truth.

Lot us smoke a ]3ipe quietly for a few moinent£) whilei we consider the facts, '

To begin with, both politicrd parties have united in the House' of Commons to declare that Canada has DO intention o:' !>eing annexed.

Who is in favor of annexation? Surely not the Conservative party? Certainly not the Liberal party;

for they joinod with the Conservativ- es on the question.

So Parliameni is unanimously posed to annexation.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier is opposed annexation. Mr. U. L. Borden is posed to it. Mr. Gilbert, the tionalist, does not want it. And Dr. Clark, the Frc? Trade farmer from Bed Deer, made one of the ablest epeechos in the debate expos'ng the annexation scare. All the Cabinet iniuisters are opposed to it. Every one agrees it is impossible.

Yet certain people continue to stir up the mml with such a dead «tick!

Why do the ic-s reliable papers persist with anne.xalioii talk in face of €TUch proof that there is no move in favor of it? Is it because they have no real argument against rK'inrocitv? Or are they trybui to confuse the plain man, the farmer?

What other reason iiave they for icOBtinuing to work u[) a scare when îlot one Canadian in a hundred is in. favor of it.

Is Canada afraid of the States? Who could blame the Americans for

Hiinking so after reading certain notorious opposition papers.

Here we have a great country Rowing sU’onger, more self-reliant, independent, more thickly populated, wealthier, each year: Caimda has

Ear from rf.-iprocity loading to annexation the evidence p>oints directly in tho opposite direction.

nigh tarilTs cause annexation. When trade is hampered between two countrifs such as these, by tariff restri'.tion'S, merchants and manufacturers and farmor.s are inclined to favor annexation as a means of over- coming the obstacle.

All wars are caused by trade res- trictions.

Trade is always «ocViIng. to expand and if an obstacle prevents the ex- pansion an effort is made to over- come it.

High tariffs always hobble commerce: reciprocity means removing tho hobble.

After the reciprociti* treaty of 1S5-1 trade between Canada and the United Stales increased enormously. Ow- ing to the imessure of Canadian coni- petition in American markets the agreement expired in I8C6: at once tkero sprang up a movement in favor of annexation.

We are older now, and grown up. There arc other markets and ov’ery trade agreement moans added strenexh.

Reciprocity means freer trade between Canada and tho States; but each country will retain its own form of government, its own ideals, its own nationality.

Another stick, used to stir up mud, is called “imperialism".

We are told that by promoting better tiade relations between these two neighborÎT)g countries Great Bri- tain is Wx out in the cold,

i Far from, this being correct it is clearly stated in the reciprocity agreement that Canada shall be at liberty to extend a preference to Britain at any time.

.And the British gov'emment are de- lighted that Canada has eucce.«tsfully egotiated a bargain to lower tariffs.

Children Often Need laxative—but you cannot be too careful what you give them. Harsh

purgatives Injure the bowels and pave the way for life-long troubles. The new évacuant In

.-.c -I-, i.aiid is opposod to tariffs. OnU luxuries are taxed for revonuo purpo5.es—all else may enter duty tree, j i ih a tree trade country; British prosperity has been built up by free trade —by abolishing tariffs; they refuse to adopt protection. And the Britis-li government helped to establish the reciprocity agreement between Canada and ; he United States: through Ambaa- sador Bryce they are pwoud of itl

Tho imperialism cry is similar to the annexation cry; flag-wav ng, drum- boating, an atteiTiipt to mislead the elector.

Se we see that reciprocity does not mean annexation; history proves that high tariffs cause annexation—and we know that, high tariff or low tariff, Canada has no intention of being an-

And reciprocity is not a blow to tlie empire: it strengthens tho empire by^ strengthening Canada, and it draws ""the Anglo-Saxon race closer together. It may be the first step to tho great alliance between all tho English, speaking natioiis~an alliance whicli would make war a thing of tho past, would on.sure tho peace of the world, and would advance civilization by a great stride.

Reciprocity means a free entry in- to Canadian markets for Canadian farm produce. Butter, cheese, eggs, mtilk. cattle, grain, fruit, potatoes, poultry, everything the farmer pro- duces; ninety million custoniers aro at our doors, ready to buy all wo have to sell.

Will it l>e a good market for tho Canadian farmer?

Ask those in tho market already. The strongest opposition to reciprocity in the United States comes from tho American farmer—ho is afraid of Canadian competition.

Freer trade will increase the prosperity of the Canadian farmer—and a ri.îh farming country means a rich country throughout. I ask you farmers, is this true or not?

“But," E'ay those opposed to it “but the fanners are prospering well enough already."

Are they? Where is tho man in Grenville coun-

ty Avho dare go around declaring that our farmers are well enough off?.

>’’et tho argument is being used. The opposition say, “I.et well enouth

Not only do the farmers stand to gain by reciprocity, but all classes stand to gain.

Freer trade means a greater inter- ' change of commerce betuxien, the two countries—-.shipping will gain.

I With more money to spend, and a ' larger tuni over in business, 'merchants will ga n.

With a great influx into the coum try, with -more land developed there will be greater scope for nianufaciur-

Lot it not bo pretended that Cana- da will export all and import nothing. There is no greater delusion. Impoids and exports must balance

' each otheii; this is true with either protection or free trade,

j Reciprocity simply moans wc in- , crease our imports and increase our * exports; increase trade by removing : artificial barriers called tariffs. \ Wo import goods needed in Canada and export Canadian produce as pay-

1 Tho greatest oi>position to free imports comes from manufacturers who wish to maintain at a high price lho.se goods most needed by the Canadian consumer.

! For example; farm implements manufactured in Canada may cost the farmer Sl.5C^—yet the Canadian manufacturer may sell tlie same make of im- pl’ements In Britain, or elsewhere, for ?120.

The manufacturer can make the farmer pay more because the tariff protects, him from competition. A lower tariff on farm implements will help put a stop to tho Canadian manufacturer robbing the farmer.

Reciprocity means a lower cost of living. 'rhe hi^li cost cf living in the United Str.t « cause<l the demand for free imporle<l Canadian farm produce. The high cost of mamifactured

! articles in Canada caused tlie farmers to send delegations to Ottawa donianding reduced tariffs.

I “But," says the opposition, “If imported good.s are allowed in at a reduced rate it will ruin home manu fucturers."

Will it?' Or will it merely cause th&m to bo content with sn>aller profits?

I If a Canadian manufactui'er can aft’ord to sell farm hnplement.s in

i England (aftei' paying frright char- ges too) for Si *20, why does he charge the Canadian farmer $150 for a simi-

j lar article. ' It is good for this country that United States farmers can buy an identical farm implement . cheaper

.than we can at- home? I This Reciprocity Treaty will lower the cost of production to the farmer, and consequently the cost of living.

I Manufacturing centres like Pitts- j burg are not so desirable that Cana- da can afford to build them in at the exDcnse of the famvinff population.

High tariffs make millionaires and poverty—the two extremes.

One per cent, of the people in the Unite<l States own half of tho total wealth—^haif cf the people own nothing at all!

Do we desire such a state of affairs in Canada?

Shall wo make the same mistake ■and protect ugly trusts to rob the common people?

Lower tariffs, freer trade, reciprocity Treaty will tend towards in crease prosperity for this old county of Grenville: bigeor markets for our farmers; better times for tire merchant; greater fields for the manufacturer; and lower cost of living for everyone.

TREATMENT OF SEED CORN.

Proper Methods, According to Wash- ington Authority on the Cereal.

In farmers’ bulletin No. 415, on “Seed Corn,” C. P. Hartley, one of the corn experts of the United States department of agriculture, asserts that the same day seed corn is gathered the husked ears should be put In a dry place where there is free circulation of air and placed in such a manner that the ears do not touch each other. This is the only safe procedure. The writer has repeatedly seen good seed ruined because it was thought to be already dry enough when gathered and that

LDBAIi METHOD OP TBEATINQ SEED CORN.

[From bulletin of United States department of agriculture.]

the precaution mentioned above was unnecessary. Many farmers believe that their autumns are so dry that such care is superfluous. Seed corn in every locality gathered at ripening time will be benefited by drying as suggested. If left in the husk long after ripening It may sprout or mildew during warm, wet weather or become infested with weevils.

The vitality of seed Is often reduced by leaving it in a sack or in a pile for even a day after gathering. During warm weather, with some moisture in the cobs and kernels, the ears heat or mildew in a remarkably short time.

Q'he best possible treatment immediately after gathering is shown in the illustration. Binder twino will support fifteen or twenty ears on a string arranged in the manner illustrated. Ordinarily the best place to haug these strings of ears Is in an open shed or loft.

Permanent seed racks, with a separate compartment for each ear, are more convenient than the use of binder twine, and when they are located In a dry, breezy place the ears dry successfully.

There are no unsightly ash heaps on the farm of the man who knows their ferblizing value.

Keeping Av/ay Moles. I have noticed that moles will avoid

tarred corn put in holes. It occurred to me to guard pumpkins, squash and similar crops In this same way. I tarred stones, chips and corncobs well with gas tar and placed them about a foot below the surface, so the roots' did not come in contact with the tar, and for several years I have had no trouble with moles, bugs or grubs.— American Agriculturist.

Poultry Pointers.

Forcing, the molt by starving the hens Is not considered a good practice.

Clean the coops thoroughly before you put them away. Get tliem under cover, too, if you can. They will last BO much longer.

Two parts lard and one part turpen- tine will often cure “Ilmberneck” in the afflicted bird if discovered In timo and the remedy given promptly.

Ducks intended for breeding should be separated from those intended for market It will be an advantage if they can have plenty of range and swimming water.

Cut hay Into about one inch lengths and pour enough hot water on it nearly to cover. Allow it to stand overnight and feed in the morning. Peed about three times a week during winter.

Warm wheat for breakfast makes the Biddies shell out the eggs.

Fresh air is all right for the bens, but not when it is sifted through knot- holes and cracks between the boards.

Meat meal and beef scrap are rich In protein and mineral matter and especially desirable for molting hens and pullets kept for layers. Where insects are not abundant meat In some form should supply a portion of the rations of laying hens.

If the roosts in the henhouses are high the heavier birds are almost sure to suffer from bruised feet, commonly known as bumblefoot This is caused by jumping from the roost to the 2uud

Suffered Years With My Back.”

Backache resulting from v/eak kidneys, a bad cold or other cause, usually renders the sufferer unfit for work and often results in permanent disability.

“I suffered for years with my back, or kidney trouble, and have tried a number of remedies from different physicians. More than a year ago, one of our local druggists induced me to try

Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pilis and after using them some three m.onths I found a decided improve- ment in my kidneys, and I am glad to say that I hope soon to be fully restored to health.” J. P. ALLEN,

Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow Ky. As long as pain is present m any

part of the body rest is impossible and the system becoming weakened is exposed to any form of disease to which the sufferer may be inclined.

Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills by steadying the irritated nerve centers, make refreshing sleep possible, thereby enabling the body to recover lost str.-ngth. As a remedy for pain of any description Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are unsurpassed.

USES OF THE BARLEY CROP.

Nearly Equal to Corn In Feeding Value—Directions For Preparation. Barley is nearly equal to corn in

value for feeding purposes, but should not make up moi*e than half of the grain ration for horses and cattle. F’ot the best results in feeding to horses and cattle it should be crushed OT

coarsely ground, ns this aids digestior and also reduces the danger of injurj to the mouths of the animals from th€ beards. For hog feed, simply soaking the whole grain overnight will suf flee. The finest kind of bacon is pro duced from feeding ground barley mixed with skimmilk. Barley is alsc an excellent feed for sheep. It can be fed whole or crushed.

Barley properly cut and cured wil furnish a very nutritious hay that is readily eaten by all kinds of stock When intended for hay it should bt sown more thickly than when intended for grain. In growing winter barley for hay the mistake most commonly made is in letting the crop become toe ripe in the belief that better results will be secured if the grain is allowed to fill. This is done at the e.vpeuse ol the stem and leaves, as much of the

AWNLESS BARLEY—HOODED BARLEY.

[From bulletin. United States department of agriculture.]

material from which the grain is pro- duced is stored there. The barley is bearded, and if left too long befor€ cutting the beards become hard and will injure the mouths of the animals. When the crop is cut in the flowering •stage the beards are soft and will bt found to be less injurious than if al lowed to ripeu further. The crop cat be cut with a mower and handled llk< other bay.

Spring hooded barley should be sown as early as possible in the spring aftei the danger of severe frosts is over. The plant has a large. Juicy stem and very broad, green leaves. As the heads are not bearded, this variety is prefer able to the Tennessee Winter for soil- ing and haymaking purposes. If sowt early It will grow rapidly and yield a large quantity of excellent green feed, relished by all kinds of stock. If cul when the grain is in tbc milk stage it will yield a large crop of nutritious hay that will give better results ID feeding than will most native hays.- Bulletin of United States Department of Agriculture.

Pruning In Winter. Now is the best time to take ont

dead branches from old orchard trees, says the American Cultitvator. Some of the leaves are still on, and it ia easy to pick out dead limbs. Pruning now will save much extra work in the spring, when time is precious. MODS* over, many insects and diseases will be destroyed. To make sure of It bum the limbs. Dead limbs provide excellent camping grounds for insects and diseases. Always cut close to the trunk; do not leave a stub.

To meet the requirements of a good farmer it is necessary to spend some of the winter weather in study- ing the problems of the farm.

Plank Drag For Use Later on WortFl! Taking Up Farmer's Spare Tims. An o!Te<.*tivc pi;uiK iirag which caOi

be made easily in wliuci by any farm-i er, in order to have it ready for later- use, is thus descriljecl I.y an Ohio cor- respondent in the rtnrai New Yorkert)

The writer has used several kinds of drags on plowed fields and has seen %

large number in use, ranging from fl sled upside down to tlie lever harroTSl with the teeth set back. Of all thd devices used for dragging the soil thd drag shown in the dhagram is probably most effective. The plank drag made by lapping some 2 by 8 inett plank works all right in very dry soll< but is all wrong for soils properly moist for best results in working. The drag shown here will work anywhere and at almost any time. Such a drag is easy to make and not at all expem sive.

The farmer driving liHough town with Ills prancing horses drawing a fine rig is the farmer on parade. The farmer in the field behind the plow is the farmer proving his right to be on parade.

Winter Keeping of Vegetables. The matter of keeping Irish pota-

toes, cabbages, onions, beets, etc., all winter for family use depends oa climatic conditions. Irish potatoes, aa also beets, should be guarded against freezing. Beets and carrots can stand a little of It, but arc better off wheal kept from it. Cabbages stored in theij cellar should be wrapiied separately lH' double thicknesses of newspaper, fold- ing and tying it around the stem.’ Hang each head upside down on th© side of the w’all or from the beamai overhead. Cabbages can stand some; freezing, but not too much of It, nor much freezing and thawing. OnlonSi to keep well must be put In a cool* dry, airy place.—Farm and Fireside,

Manure From the Barnyard. Manure from the barnyard adds hu-i

mus to the soil, and humus acts like a- sponge, retaining moisture In the soil,) making It more capable of absorblngj a heavy rainfall and of holding it therei longer. The moral, therefore, is toj save and carefully spread all bamyardj manure over the fields. Manure ia worth dollars and wlU put dollars Into the farmers’ pockets. ^

Plants For Winter Pasture* Many plants can be used for wlnteft

pasture. Of course it is more difflcult to secure winter than summer grazing* but with the proper use of bur clover^ rye, oats, vetch and crimson clover, all fall sown, there is little trouble to se-; cure grazing areas through the winteç^ —Home and Farm. ^

TRUST THE WOMEN FOLK

The farmer who th'nks he can “run his business** without taking his wife into his councils is pretty apt to run against a snag before he knows it. While women may not always understand all the fine poiitfs of fanning, they are often able, through some divine instinct, to tell how things ought to be, and the man who trusts that instinct isjaot very apt to come out wrong.

_ mj^rea.se in membership. Mr. J. F. McGregor was named judge of grain and seed,s; Mr. R. R. Songster of held roots and garden vegetable.s; Mr, Allan

V McDonell, of dairy produce; Mr. Geo, Mode of VahkU'vl: Hill, of fruits, sugar, honey and canned fruits, flowers and plants; Mr. P. A. Huot, of home manufactures; MiS. D. A. McArthur and

.Mrs. J. A. Cair.eron, of-ladies’ work useful; and Miv. J. F. McGregor, of fancy work.

It was decided to issue prize lists and members’ tickets at an early date after which an atljournment took place to meet early in June.

For month.s now twice a tla.v. Sun- day.s excepted. Leo Marcoux, livery- man. has been operating a stage between Alexandria, and the C.P.R. station Green Valley, in a most satisfactory manner to his patron.?, and at a profit to himself. Hi.s receipts might be augmented by the Dominion Ex- près,? Company re-opening Its office here and doing business as of old, also by the Post Office Department using thi.? stage to carry the mall for Green Valley. St. Raphales, Apple Hill, Mar- tintown. Glen Roy and Munroe’s Mills. The introduction of this scheme may cost a trifle extra but the convenience and the accommodation It would ac- cord Glengarrians re.sldent at thest points would more than warrant the increased -expenditure According to the piêsent regulations newspaper.? addressed to Green Valley, Apple Hilb Dalhousie Station and other points on the C.P.R., and in the vicinity, have to be mailed here the morning of publication and are then taken to Montreal where they lie over for hours till re bagged and shipped back via C.P.R. This, together with the thrice a week mail service, still in vogue In parts of this county, accounts for the \yeekly News reaching subscribers, especially in Charlottenburg, when much of the news its column? contain has aged con- siderably. We have taken the matter up with the Dominion representative and also with the Post Ofilce Depart- ment, on more than one occasion, and will be pleased, if necessary, to havc- circulated petitions for signatures to emphasize our action.
