ALEXANDRIA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1926. $2.00 A YEAR. Canada Regaining Rer Rid Position / < J- Dairymeii are justified in looking upon 1925 as a banner year—possibly the best, all things considered, that the industry has ever experienced,*’ «'as the cheerful opening sentence in Dominion Dairj- Commissioner Bud- dick ’s review of the position of Cana- dian. dairying at tho Eastern Dairy- men’s Convention at Kingston held re- eont.ly. ‘Not only have actual returns been good,’’ continued Dr. Ruddick, “but there is ample evidence of a new epirit of confidence.” Cheese production in the year just closed, according to the Dairy Commis- sioner, will run around 175,000,000 pounds, compared with slightly over 150,000,000 pounds in 1924. “This re-; cord shows that the cheese industry is refill in a healthy and vigorous condi *vion, and not on the decline, as some 'vould have u.s believe. More Western Rutter. “The showing in butter production is not quite so good,” continued Dr, Ruddick, “Not because of any general setback or decline^ in that branch of '.he industry, but simply because the premium on cheese milk in Ontario and Quebec resulted in some transfer c*f patronage to the cheese factories. The Western Provinces, with the pos- sible. exception of Alberta, will show a snbsantial increase over 1924. All the Eastern Provinces except Ontario .and Qiiob.'^c will likely show some in- crease, but it may not be large enough to raise the total much, if any, higher than for the previous year. The de- crease is in evidence only where there are dual plants or oj)portunitie.s for diversion from one branch to the other. “Î should like to correct an impres- sion which prevails in some quarters that creamery butter production is in- creasing faster in volume in the Prairie Provinces tlian eleswliere in Canada. The facts arc as follows: The combined output of the tlireePrairies Provinces in 3920 was 26,0:’.S,496 pounds, Svhich was iiicroased 1o 47,716,610 pounds in 1924, an actual increase of 21,678,120 pounds or 83 per cent. During the same per- iod the combined output in Ontario and Quebec increased from 78,877,009 pounds to 124,596,627 pounds, au actual increase of 45,719,118 pounds^ or 57 per cent., a smaller percentage increase, but moro than double the actual in- crease of the Western Provinces.” Good Export Position The export business, according to Dr. Kuddick, has been very favorable, with the largest increase in both vol- ume and value in 1920 for many years. The next increase iii value of exports of all dairy products is given as over $15,500,000. In every product except condensed milk there was improvement. Furthermore, stated this speaker em- phatieallj’’, the standing of Canadian butter and. cheese on the markets of the United .Kingdom has materially improved. Grading returns show ex- cellent progress in quality. Dr. Ruddick advised çheese-makera to hold tlioir product for some time be- fore shipping. “It has been said with much truth that cheese are only half made when taken from the press. The maker who ships his cheese a day or two old leaves his job only half done, and cannot tell whether he is making high or low grade product. No maker who is required by the factory management to de( this sort of thing should be held responsible for defects.” He advised farmers to take more interest in cheese factories in order that their first-class - milk might not be damaged through incompetent handling, and he asked the association to take up the matter of poorly operated factories which scud out a product tljat injures the reputa- tion of the whole industry. Begainiug Old Position. “It will be some satisfaction,” said ihe speaker, tunjing to export competi- tion, “to know that there is a possi- bility, if present tendencies prevail, that Canada may regain her old posi- tion as the largest exporter of cheese. For 12 months ended October, 1925, our cheese exports were 23 per cent, larger than they were in the preceding .12 months, wliiie the exports of cheese from New Zealand for their year which ended July, 1925, show a decrease of 5.2 J,^er cent. If we take the total exports of all products from both countries and reduce them to a butter fat basis for tho .same period, we find that while •Canada’s total exports show an in- crease of 27 percent., those from New Zealand were inerensed by only 6.8 per cent. Latest advices from New' Zealand •are to the effect that the weather has been very unfavorable, resulting in a heavy decrease in milk production, dur- ing the present season, which began with the mouth of August last.

Is It Fair ? Euehre Prize Wieners At the Kenyon Euchre held last w'cek, iif Alexander Hall, tho prize wdn- hers were ladies, Mrs. R. MacLeod, Mrs. W. Ritchie, Miss M. Iv. Vernier, Mrs. O. W.

The Glengarry News sent out duriog December, to subscribers who were in arrears over two years, accounts, which in the ag- gregate totalled a large amount. Many of these accounts have been repeatedly sent and those receiving them have apparently ignored them. If ^his catches the eye of any of those who re- ceived these accounts we would like them either to send the amount or else do us the courtesy of stating w'hy they do not do so. It costs a lot of money in the course of the year to mgil these accounts and takes up a lot of valuable time. We are trjnng to publish a good, up-to-date news- paper, ajid it would be a great lielp to us to have these subscrip- tion accounts settled. We do not like to send out this notice at this time of the year, but busi- ness is business, and we can’t run ours on overdue subscriptions. Jubilee Irephy Cempeiilion tries is only 30,000,000 or 3 2,000,000 pounds, you will see the justification for tlie suggestion that Canada may regain, temporarily at least, her old status as the largest cheese exporter in the world. New Zealand’s production of cheese will depend a good deal on whether tho dual plants, of which there are many in that country, dévote their attention to butter or cheese.

Ottawa for the week preceding the vote is driving some party orgïin» to seek shelter. The indignation of the elec- orate is so evident that some way out must be sought. The Mail and Em- pire makes feneht effort to acquit Mr. Meighen of any blame, and in an article entitled.' “No Stain on the Meighen side”, it says: Out of this struggle in tlio House the Conservative Leader and his following liave come, not with power ill their hands, but with flying colors. They have not sa- erifieed a single atom of their party*^ principle. Upon t^e temptation to barter for the support of neutrals they turned their backs. What they stood for in tho general election they still champion. They bought no support, and nothing but honor attaches to those Progressivc.s who voted with them. These sought no concession, and none was offered to them. I’hey voted in accord- ai^ce with their convictions as to what was their duty to their couu- try. It would have been a disas- trolls victory liad Mr. Meighen won by stooping to exchange prin- ciples for votes. Wh.at meant the continued pilgrim- ages of the ^ .rrogressives to the old party leaders'? Tho details of those interviews may never be revealed to, tho public, biU in the full light of the chamber of i’arliament we had this bold bid frt>m Mr. Guthrie, as given in Hansard: *I submit tliat no member of this House should look beyond the question in the résolutioi:, but if we arc tempted to go beyond it, if we are tempted to consider iiltciier results, then let me say, in the presence of my Leader and witli Ins authority, that if this mo- ion carries, if this Government resigns, and if ho is calicd upou to form a Gov- ernment in this House, he will under- take the task. He will undertake to carry on that Governmout from ses- sion to session without dissolution, and ho will do so just so long as he receives ParliaiAentary support. Honorable members who form tho Progressive group in this House will realize this; Their position will be just as strong under a new Administration as it is under the present one. They will oc- cupy the same dominant position in the councils of this House as they do today, and if a new Government were formed and legislatioii'satisfactory to them in- troduced and proceeded with, th^re is no reason why such a Government should not coiitiiine to the end of the Parliamentary term.” No stain theref Mr, Guthrie said he spoke with the approval of Mr. Meigh- en, In return for support the Progres- sives were to receive legislation they wanted. Parliament would go on for five years, and tl|e members receive the indemnities due for that period. Coming from a party which has flout- ed the Progressives and all they stood for in political life, could anything be more flagrant; Then there was Bagot. After the Dominion election, and before the Ba- got contest, Mr Meighen, speaking in Hamilton, said that under Ids policy Canada would not enter a war ivithout holding a Dominion election Tho pro- mise was used by the Conserv.atives in the Bagot campaign, but tho people of that riding had the courage to spurn tho bribe. Ontario Conservatives re- coiled from such a policy on the heels of Mr. Meighen’s “Ready, aye ready!” speech of 1922. The removal of two such stains will require a better cleaning process than is at the disposal of Mr. Meighen and his supporters. fears of Service Raeqee Caeadieeee Nalionale ilst Anneal Meeting The fifty-^’irst annual meeting of shareholders of Banque Canadienne Nationale was held on. Friday, Janu- ary 3.5th., at the Head Office of the Bank, Montreal, presided over by Mr. J. A. Vaillancourt, president. Mr. Beaudry Leman, General Mana- ger, submitted the Balance Sheet .for the financial year ended November 30th. 1925, and commented on the progress of this institution. Profit and Loss Account as of Nov- ember 30th, 1925, shows net profits of $822,026, being an increase of $8-4,983 over last year. Deposits show a decided increase. From $96,821,000 as of November 29th, 1924, they rose to $105,995,000 as of November 30th, 1925. This increase of $9,170,000 divided almost equally between current and savings deposits, being $4,920.000 and $4,250,000 respec- tively. This indicates’ that thrift still has a hold in our- country. It is hardly necessary to add that it also shows the groi\T.ng confidence which the public places in our institution. It was pointed out two years ago that the assets of the Bank hud more than doubled in less than a decade, having increased from $33,323,000 in 1914 to $72,547,000 in 1923.

Ottawa, January 16th, 1926—In the early hours of Friday morning, Parlia- ment by a majority vote of three sus- tained the Liberal goverumeut, defeat- ed the amendment of censure and non- confidcco itroduced by the leader of the Conservative Opposition, Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen on opening day, and vindicated the position taken by the Prime Minister. Rt. Hon, W. K Mac- Kenzie King following the general election of October 29th. Th governmeut was supported by nineteen Progressives, the two Inde- pendent menibc-rs, A. IV. Neill (Comox- Alberni), and Mr. Henri Bourassa (La- bellc), and the tivo Labor members fjoiu Winnipeg. J. S. 'Woodsw’'ortli and A H. Heaps. The vote ])roi-iuimcd in effect that Mr. IVlarkenziv.'

"Why Complicatious Existed Briefly reviewed the circumstances were these: Owing to the situation arising through representation by several groups in tlie House of Commons, no one group had a majority over all with wliich to carrv on. The Conservative group was the largest, 116 members, but lacked th'. necessary seven to be even one more than half in a Parlia- ment of 245 members. Progressive and Labor members had been elected on platforms akin to that of the Liberal party and strenuously qppo.scd to Con- servative policies. Neither Liberal nor Conservative party could carry on with- out co-operation of the independent groups and between these and. the Con- servatives a gulf was fixed. A. Speakbian (Red Deer) Progres- sive, speaking towards the close of tho debate voiced the reason which influ- enced his decision to vote against tho Conservative amendment and with the government, a reason evidently shared by the eighteen other members of his group, including tho leader, Mr. Robert Forko, who took tho same step. He stated that he feared that -were the Conservative party to be given power It would put into effect certain fea- tures of its policy, with which he was not in accord. He based his final de- cision on policy. Five Progressives Vote With Meighen Five members of the Progressive group voted with tho Conservatives. They were Messrs. M. N. Campbell, Mackenzie, Sask.; W. T. Lucas, Cam- rose, Alberta; A; M. Carmichael, Kind* ersley, Sask; A. M. Boutiilier, Vegre- ville, Alberta; W. 3Î. Fansher, Last Mountain, Sask. A long array of Conservative speak- ers based their arguments on constitu- tional aspects of the case, A striking effort along thi.s line was that of Hon. R. B. Bennett who i.s back from Cal- gary. He inveked jirecedent back to the time of the Plantagcnct. Mr. C. H. Calian, of Montreal, a strong rein forcement for the Conservative Oppo- sition, althoughly avowedly not a henchman of Mr. Meighen, accused the Liberal party of attempts at Musso- lini methods. Conservatives Offer Sait Conservative attacks on the govern- ment were featured by accusations that a bid had been made in the speech from the throne for Progressive sup- port. So far as the Conservatives were concerned, it was a case of “glass houses”, lilven Mr. Cahan, Conserva- tive, of St. Lawrehcc-St. George, Mont- real, assured the Progressive that, re- presenting one of the central districts of the Island of Montreal, he would devote himself to the study of two sets of grievances ,those , of his native pro- vince of Nova Scotia aud tho legitimate grievances of the west “because the prosperity of tho Island of Montreal depends to a' large extent upou their prosperity” (the,three great provinces of the middle west.) “Fear ISTot”, Said Mr. Guthrie Hou. Hugh Guthrie, ’(Conservative, iSouth Wellington,) offered this bribe to wavering Progressives, provided Mr. Meighen was called upon to form a government: “Hon. members who form the Progressive group will realize that their position '^vill be just as strong under the new administration as it is under thé present one.

Canada Regaining Rer Rid Position

/ < J- Dairymeii are justified in looking

upon 1925 as a banner year—possibly the best, all things considered, that the industry has ever experienced,*’ ■«'as the cheerful opening sentence in Dominion Dairj- Commissioner Bud- dick ’s review of the position of Cana- dian. dairying at tho Eastern Dairy- men’s Convention at Kingston held re- eont.ly. ‘Not only have actual returns been good,’’ continued Dr. Ruddick, “but there is ample evidence of a new epirit of confidence.”

Cheese production in the year just closed, according to the Dairy Commis- sioner, will run around 175,000,000 pounds, compared with slightly over 150,000,000 pounds in 1924. “This re-; cord shows that the cheese industry is refill in a healthy and vigorous condi *vion, and not on the decline, as some 'vould have u.s believe.

More Western Rutter. “The showing in butter production

is not quite so good,” continued Dr, Ruddick, “Not because of any general setback or decline^ in that branch of '.he industry, but simply because the premium on cheese milk in Ontario and Quebec resulted in some transfer c*f patronage to the cheese factories. The Western Provinces, with the pos- sible. exception of Alberta, will show a snbsantial increase over 1924. All the Eastern Provinces except Ontario .and Qiiob.'^c will likely show some in- crease, but it may not be large enough to raise the total much, if any, higher than for the previous year. The de- crease is in evidence only where there are dual plants or oj)portunitie.s for diversion from one branch to the other.

“Î should like to correct an impres- sion which prevails in some quarters that creamery butter production is in- creasing faster in volume in the Prairie Provinces tlian eleswliere in Canada. The facts arc as follows: The combined output of the tlireePrairies Provinces in 3920 was 26,0:’.S,496 pounds, Svhich was iiicroased 1o 47,716,610 pounds in 1924, an actual increase of 21,678,120 pounds or 83 per cent. During the same per- iod the combined output in Ontario and Quebec increased from 78,877,009 pounds to 124,596,627 pounds, au actual increase of 45,719,118 pounds^ or 57 per cent., a smaller percentage increase, but moro than double the actual in- crease of the Western Provinces.” Good Export Position

The export business, according to Dr. Kuddick, has been very favorable, with the largest increase in both vol- ume and value in 1920 for many years. The next increase iii value of exports of all dairy products is given as over $15,500,000. In every product except condensed milk there was improvement. Furthermore, stated this speaker em- phatieallj’’, the standing of Canadian butter and. cheese on the markets of the United .Kingdom has materially improved. Grading returns show ex- cellent progress in quality.

Dr. Ruddick advised çheese-makera to hold tlioir product for some time be- fore shipping. “It has been said with much truth that cheese are only half made when taken from the press. The maker who ships his cheese a day or two old leaves his job only half done, and cannot tell whether he is making high or low grade product. No maker who is required by the factory management to de( this sort of thing should be held responsible for defects.” He advised farmers to take more interest in cheese factories in order that their first-class

- milk might not be damaged through incompetent handling, and he asked the association to take up the matter of poorly operated factories which scud out a product tljat injures the reputa- tion of the whole industry. Begainiug Old Position.

“It will be some satisfaction,” said ihe speaker, tunjing to export competi- tion, “to know that there is a possi- bility, if present tendencies prevail, that Canada may regain her old posi- tion as the largest exporter of cheese. For 12 months ended October, 1925, our cheese exports were 23 per cent, larger than they were in the preceding .12 months, wliiie the exports of cheese from New Zealand for their year which ended July, 1925, show a decrease of 5.2 J,^er cent. If we take the total exports of all products from both countries and reduce them to a butter fat basis for tho .same period, we find that while •Canada’s total exports show an in- crease of 27 percent., those from New Zealand were inerensed by only 6.8 per cent.

Latest advices from New' Zealand •are to the effect that the weather has been very unfavorable, resulting in a heavy decrease in milk production, dur- ing the present season, which began with the mouth of August last. As Now Zealand’s lead in cheese based on the last season’s’exports' from both coim-

The Glengarry News sent out

duriog December, to subscribers

who were in arrears over two years, accounts, which in the ag- gregate totalled a large amount. Many of these accounts have been repeatedly sent and those receiving them have apparently ignored them. If ^his catches the eye of any of those who re- ceived these accounts we would like them either to send the amount or else do us the courtesy of stating w'hy they do not do so. It costs a lot of money in the course of the year to mgil these accounts and takes up a lot of valuable time. We are trjnng to publish a good, up-to-date news- paper, ajid it would be a great lielp to us to have these subscrip- tion accounts settled. We do not like to send out this notice at this time of the year, but busi- ness is business, and we can’t run ours on overdue subscriptions.

tries is only 30,000,000 or 3 2,000,000 pounds, you will see the justification for tlie suggestion that Canada may regain, temporarily at least, her old status as the largest cheese exporter in the world. New Zealand’s production of cheese will depend a good deal on whether tho dual plants, of which there are many in that country, dévote their attention to butter or cheese.

The long looked for jubilee scries in whicli the 'local curlers were to meet strong teams from Hawkesbury and Vankleck commenced hero on "Wednes- day of this week. Three of the Alex- andria teams under skips Duvall, Mc- Callum and Cheney disputed the hon- ors with four rinks from Hawkesbury and three from Vankleek Hill.

During tho first day of play three Vankleek Hill teams and tw'o of the Haivk(\sbury teams were eliminated while the local team under skip Mc- Callum also went down to de.feat. One of the most interesting games wms that ill wliich tho local rink under Dr. H. L. Ohouoy defeated the Hawkcsbui^’ rink under .Dr. A. P. Rutherford on Wednesday evening and in which the local team after being eight points down at tlie end of the fourth end won out in un exciting finish by a margin of four points.

Skip Diivnlt and his rink, yesterday morning achieved quite a victory in de- feating such formidable opponents as Dr. H. H. Kirby’s combination.

The local curlers cutortaiued the visitors both evenings and as the ice was in ideal condition all wlio partici- pated in tlie scries were delighted with, the reception aecorderl them.

Removing The Stains Public outcry at the dickering and

bargaining which prevaild^ in. Ottawa for the week preceding the vote is driving some party orgïin» to seek shelter. The indignation of the elec- orate is so evident that some way out must be sought. The Mail and Em- pire makes feneht effort to acquit Mr. Meighen of any blame, and in an article entitled.' “No Stain on the Meighen side”, it says:

Out of this struggle in tlio House the Conservative Leader and his following liave come, not with power ill their hands, but with flying colors. They have not sa- erifieed a single atom of their party*^ principle. Upon t^e temptation to barter for the support of neutrals they turned their backs. What they stood for in tho general election they still champion. They bought no support, and nothing but honor attaches to those Progressivc.s who voted with them. These sought no concession, and none was offered to them. I’hey voted in accord- ai^ce with their convictions as to what was their duty to their couu- try. It would have been a disas- trolls victory liad Mr. Meighen won by stooping to exchange prin- ciples for votes. Wh.at meant the continued pilgrim-

ages of the ^ .rrogressives to the old party leaders'? Tho details of those interviews may never be revealed to, tho public, biU in the full light of the chamber of i’arliament we had this bold bid frt>m Mr. Guthrie, as given in Hansard:

*I submit tliat no member of this House should look beyond the question in the résolutioi:, but if we arc tempted to go beyond it, if we are tempted to consider iiltciier results, then let me say, in the presence of my Leader and witli Ins authority, that if this mo- ion carries, if this Government resigns,

and if ho is calicd upou to form a Gov- ernment in this House, he will under- take the task. He will undertake to carry on that Governmout from ses- sion to session without dissolution, and ho will do so just so long as he receives ParliaiAentary support. Honorable members who form tho Progressive group in this House will realize this; Their position will be just as strong under a new Administration as it is under the present one. They will oc- cupy the same dominant position in the councils of this House as they do today, and if a new Government were formed and legislatioii'satisfactory to them in- troduced and proceeded with, th^re is no reason why such a Government should not coiitiiine to the end of the Parliamentary term.”

No stain theref Mr, Guthrie said he spoke with the approval of Mr. Meigh- en, In return for support the Progres- sives were to receive legislation they wanted. Parliament would go on for five years, and tl|e members receive the indemnities due for that period. Coming from a party which has flout- ed the Progressives and all they stood for in political life, could anything be more flagrant;

Then there was Bagot. After the Dominion election, and before the Ba- got contest, Mr Meighen, speaking in Hamilton, said that under Ids policy Canada would not enter a war ivithout holding a Dominion election Tho pro- mise was used by the Conserv.atives in the Bagot campaign, but tho people of that riding had the courage to spurn tho bribe. Ontario Conservatives re- coiled from such a policy on the heels of Mr. Meighen’s “Ready, aye ready!” speech of 1922.

The removal of two such stains will require a better cleaning process than is at the disposal of Mr. Meighen and his supporters.

Raeqee Caeadieeee Nalionale ilst Anneal Meeting

The fifty-^’irst annual meeting of shareholders of Banque Canadienne Nationale was held on. Friday, Janu- ary 3.5th., at the Head Office of the Bank, Montreal, presided over by Mr. J. A. Vaillancourt, president.

Mr. Beaudry Leman, General Mana- ger, submitted the Balance Sheet .for the financial year ended November 30th. 1925, and commented on the progress of this institution.

Profit and Loss Account as of Nov- ember 30th, 1925, shows net profits of $822,026, being an increase of $8-4,983 over last year.

Deposits show a decided increase. From $96,821,000 as of November 29th, 1924, they rose to $105,995,000 as of November 30th, 1925. This increase of $9,170,000 divided almost equally between current and savings deposits, being $4,920.000 and $4,250,000 respec- tively. This indicates’ that thrift still has a hold in our- country. It is hardly necessary to add that it also shows the groi\T.ng confidence which the public places in our institution.

It was pointed out two years ago that the assets of the Bank hud more than doubled in less than a decade, having increased from $33,323,000 in 1914 to $72,547,000 in 1923. At the end of November, 1924, total assets were $122,255,000. In the last year

THÎ-; ADDRESS, To Mr. A. Ji. McDouaUl:— At tills festive season of the year

when the air is full of good wishes and rejoicing wcz cu.st about to find out where we may liave been neglectful or failed to have done lionor or justice to work well performed. It is there- fore as fitting aud as opportune 'a time as we could find to make amends for such neglect, and this is what lias brought us here to-r.ight, the supporters of Union School Section No. S Kenyon and Caledonia to do honor in a small way t]iough*an action somewhat be- lated to our esteemed friend and neigh- bor wli‘0 since 1889 a third of a cen- tury almost huvS held the office of Siicretary-Troasurer and not only fill- ed it but performed all the duties in connection with it exceedingly well, scrupulously exact and having a keen intorest in the general welfare of the School.

It may be interesting to revise the progress made in that time. Teachers were hired in a very haphazard man- ner very often unqualified aud un- trained, .school jiist ox>en part time, very low salaries, poor equipment. In contrast, w'e have to-day, fully trained and better paid toach^rrs, good grounds and equipment, a distinct all round advance.

During thirty-six years—many child- ren have passed through its doors, have grown to manhood and woman- hood, have assumed tho duties of life.

The School;—Outside the home and the Church it hs the greatest asset of out national life. In our later years YTC love to recall the happy days spent in tho “Old lîed School”. "Went to school together””—schoolmates — a bond that ensures friendship to the end of time.

It gives us then the greatest pleasure to assemble together to show our ap- preciation of the work done through all these years by Mr. McDonald which was performed .for a long time with- out any renumeralion.

As a slight token of our esteem, we present you with this chair and voice the wish that its comfort may long be shared by you and Mrs. McDonald and hope that it will be as willingly ac- cepted as it is cheerfully given.

In conclusion allow us to express our heartfelt ' wishes to you, Mrs. Mc- Donald and family ,for a happy and prosperous New' Yea.r.

By a Member of The Parliamentary Press Gallery.

Ottawa, January 16th, 1926—In the early hours of Friday morning, Parlia- ment by a majority vote of three sus- tained the Liberal goverumeut, defeat- ed the amendment of censure and non- confidcco itroduced by the leader of the Conservative Opposition, Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen on opening day, and vindicated the position taken by the Prime Minister. Rt. Hon, W. K Mac- Kenzie King following the general election of October 29th.

Th governmeut was supported by nineteen Progressives, the two Inde- pendent menibc-rs, A. IV. Neill (Comox- Alberni), and Mr. Henri Bourassa (La- bellc), and the tivo Labor members fjoiu Winnipeg. J. S. 'Woodsw’'ortli and A H. Heaps.

The vote ])roi-iuimcd in effect that Mr. IVlarkenziv.' King ;md his advisers had inî:erp!'(‘A'ed cori'eetly the opinion on policy of the electorate when, un- der t1;e existing circumstances, deci- sion was made 1o retain office until it was possible B» call Parliament toge- tiicr ;i)îd receive the verdict of the elected representatives of the people.

"Why Complicatious Existed Briefly reviewed the circumstances

were these: Owing to the situation arising

through representation by several groups in tlie House of Commons, no one group had a majority over all with wliich to carrv on. The Conservative group was the largest, 116 members, but lacked th'. necessary seven to be even one more than half in a Parlia- ment of 245 members. Progressive and Labor members had been elected on platforms akin to that of the Liberal party and strenuously qppo.scd to Con- servative policies. Neither Liberal nor Conservative party could carry on with- out co-operation of the independent groups and between these and. the Con- servatives a gulf was fixed.

A. Speakbian (Red Deer) Progres- sive, speaking towards the close of tho debate voiced the reason which influ- enced his decision to vote against tho Conservative amendment and with the government, a reason evidently shared by the eighteen other members of his group, including tho leader, Mr. Robert Forko, who took tho same step. He stated that he feared that -were the Conservative party to be given power It would put into effect certain fea- tures of its policy, with which he was not in accord. He based his final de- cision on policy.

Five Progressives Vote With Meighen Five members of the Progressive

group voted with tho Conservatives. They were Messrs. M. N. Campbell, Mackenzie, Sask.; W. T. Lucas, Cam- rose, Alberta; A; M. Carmichael, Kind* ersley, Sask; A. M. Boutiilier, Vegre- ville, Alberta; W. 3Î. Fansher, Last Mountain, Sask.

A long array of Conservative speak- ers based their arguments on constitu- tional aspects of the case, A striking effort along thi.s line was that of Hon. R. B. Bennett who i.s back from Cal- gary. He inveked jirecedent back to the time of the Plantagcnct. Mr. C. H. Calian, of Montreal, a strong rein forcement for the Conservative Oppo- sition, althoughly avowedly not a henchman of Mr. Meighen, accused the Liberal party of attempts at Musso- lini methods.

Conservatives Offer Sait Conservative attacks on the govern-

ment were featured by accusations that a bid had been made in the speech from the throne for Progressive sup- port. So far as the Conservatives were concerned, it was a case of “glass houses”, lilven Mr. Cahan, Conserva- tive, of St. Lawrehcc-St. George, Mont- real, assured the Progressive that, re- presenting one of the central districts of the Island of Montreal, he would devote himself to the study of two sets of grievances ,those , of his native pro- vince of Nova Scotia aud tho legitimate grievances of the west “because the prosperity of tho Island of Montreal depends to a' large extent upou their prosperity” (the,three great provinces of the middle west.)

“Fear ISTot”, Said Mr. Guthrie Hou. Hugh Guthrie, ’(Conservative,

iSouth Wellington,) offered this bribe to wavering Progressives, provided Mr. Meighen was called upon to form a government: “Hon. members who form the Progressive group will realize that their position '^vill be just as strong under the new administration as it is under thé present one. They will oc- cupy the same dominant position in tlie

I councils of tho House as they do to- Iday....Oh, let no hon. member fear tho result of this motion.”

turiied after an absence from tho House of eighteen years, aud possibly the most picturesque figure in tho fifteenth I’arliameiit, dealt ironically with the emphasi.s placed by the Con- servative speakers on observance of

Instead of allowing the droppings to remain a long time in the sheds, they should be gathered tip each week and stored in a dry place. Then, wReii needed for use and quite dry, they should be well pounded wdth a hammer and passed through a fine sieve, the surplus siftings being stored away in tins, boxes or barrels.

During the growing season tliis manure may lie mixed with twice its bulk of sifted wmod ashes, and about once a fortnight during .showery weather this should be sprinkled between the rows of plants in quantities enough to cover the soil.

GOOD PEED FOE HOGS

Farmers wdio are feeding their hogs oats and middlings need not be alqrmed over the soft pork ■scare, maintained Profes.sor Wade Toole of the On- tario Agricultural College, in an address before the recent meeting of the Experimental Union. Accord- ing to tests conducted with '25 animals, mainly 5’oi'kshires, but also containing a fe.w' Tams and Herks, fed on oa.ts, and oats with middlings, at the O. A. College, those feeds wall produce the best kind of pork. ■All Firm.

“Of the .50 sides from tlie 25 hogs, 32 graded ■firm,” and 18 graded ‘very firm,’ six of the very firms coming from the lot. lhat were finished on oats alone, and six from the lot finished on oats, middlings and green feed,” he said. “All the 25 carcasses went into Wiltshires, 12 grading leanest, 10 grading lean, and 3 prime.”

I Canada Regaining Her I Sid Position

(Continued from page I) Grow More Barley

That our dairy farmers would be ^Yeîl luivised to replace a large proportion of their oat crop with barley was the con- tention of E. -K. HampsoBj Kcmptville Agricultural School. In a well thought out address, he- stated barley will out- yield oats in pounds p^r aero, nine years out of ten; that it is a more re- liable crop to grow^ is not subject to lusts and smut and is suitable for use in hog and dairy feed mixtures.

The proportion of acreage under oats , as compared with barley is much too groat, here in. this eastern district we | have nearly ten times tlic acreage growing oats as barley. If, said'Mr. Hamxison, our farmers wore to grow barley on a third of tlie total acreage now under oats i.nd barley, there would be a gain of more than a quarter of a million dollar.?.

Barley Outyiclds Oats “Our experience of the farm of the

Kcmptville Agiieultural School coin- cides exactly with the data gathered from Provincial report.?. Our yield of barley this year went over O-l bushels per acre, while our best field of oats yielded 70 bushels per acre, or a differ- ence of 740 £)ounds more barley per acre than oats.”

In Mr. lIami!?on's oidnion, crops on the dairy farm sliould be readjusted all along the lii-e. The day of timothy hoy, ho claims', has passed “There are no .souud arguments in its favor. It is neither nutritions nor high yield- ing, as compared with alfalfa, and it destroys the fertility of the soil, whereas alfalfa and siveet clover build it up.”’ Mr. Hî mpsoir advocates more alfalfa for hay, sweet clover for pas- ture and silage, and winter wheat as a cusli crop. A hardy variety of the latter, lie said, following sw'cot clover, will do well in Eastern Ontario, and provides a revenue in late fall when milk cheques arc small.

Soil ‘ Management In turning to soil management, this

.speaker claimc'l lhat there was little excu.se for w’eedy or run-down dairy farms. Alfalfa and sweet clover, he said, would choke out the weeds, and

j namely, of having a margin between selling jirice and cost of production. As a cUiss we hove paid too little at- tention to the loc-tur of cost.?, both in jirodm-iug our crops, and in the manage- uiunt of our live stock.”

ont lieautifully. Speaking of simjile quilts, did you ever make

them of just a good grade of calico or percale with- out doing any ineeing of blocks? They are just as pretty as can be and make a pretty spot of color ;ni a room that has a color scheme to carry out. If

Man.v people do not consider a toothache any- thing soi-ioiis. IVlienovei- a tootli is so badly decay- ed that the vital part of the K.oth is exposed and

But Mr. Ford, a radical in niecliauics and in- j dustry, is a conservative in the arts of life. He likes iiig them. He like country ways and dreams of old tilings and spends a good deal of money collect- ing them. He likes eountr.i' wa,vs and dreams of breaking up our great iiidu.strial cities, to distribute tJieir population through ten thousand small towms. He shivers at jazz and frow-iR at the dances that the young and the w-ould-be young affect.

That is what his widely advertised invitation of the veteran fiddler from Maine to visit him in Michigan means. That w-as a step in Mr. Ford’s campaign against the ugliness of jirosent-day dances apd the tyranny of the jazz band.

TESTED FAVORITE RECIPES

Chicken Casserole ^ Have a young fowl cut into several pii'ccs and P rub each piece w-ell wdtli butter. Lay in casserole,

sprinkle w-ith salt and pepper, and add one cup of salt water. Cover tightly and cook slowly about one hour until chicken is tender. Then add one cup cream and two cups Fi-eylch peas or mushrooms, chopped. Cook ten minutes longer, then thicken w-ith one tablespoon flour mixed with tw-o tahle,- spooiis w-ater. Cook for 15 minutes longer and serve hot. This is very desirable for Sunday night snppcr, as it can lie prepared beforehand and simply re- heated w-heiL needed.

'Tlie 'Hurkey. There are some who claim thai

the turkey came from Mexico, Both the Mexican wild bird and our barn- yard turkey have a creamy white on the tips of the tall feathers and on the feathers overlying the base of the tail. The wild turkey ot the East is a decided chestnut brown. Very often a doraestlêated bird will appear very like its Mexican grand- dad, several times removed, except for a greater development of the fatty lobes of head and neck.

There are others who tell u.s that when the Spaniards made their con- quest of Mexico they found at Montezuma a fine zoological garden. In it were nearly all the native|birds and animals, with many gathered from afar. Strutting about were the ancestors ot our domestic turkey. The zoo birds were domesticated. In the outlying country there were many wild bj'others and sisters of these birds. Before the Brat quarter of a centui-y was over some of the do- mestic birds, had been transplanted to the W-est'Indies and the Spanish Main, where they were kept by col- onists. By 1540 the turkey had made its way to England, and thirty years later was in high favor as the Christ- mas dish of the English farmer.

Woman vs. Man. The fastest woman s-wimmer can

only travel 85 per cent, as lust aS the fastest man. The rea.sou 1^ that, although her skill Is presumably just as great, she cannot exert the same power as the man. In running the maximum speed ot a woman Is 79 per cent, that of a man.

The world’s record long jump for a man is 25.5 feet, and for a w-onian 16.9 feet. The high Jump records are respectively 6,61 feet and 5 feet.

CLEAN TEETH FOR HEALTH

In the olden da.vs people did not give so much attention to their teeth, hut then they did not care so much if they lost one or tivo and prohably^heii- -whole set. Still many insist htat better tcedi and better health were enjoyed in past generations than we enjoy now.

AVben 1 meet a person who is inclined to argue ■that way, I just refuse to argue. They are either not informed eorreetly or they are too stubborn to give in. It is a matter of statistics that from fif- teen to seventeen years have been added to the av- erage man's life, and that more peoptle are now en-

In the .summer time 1 set m.v dish pan. on the. oil stove and wash dishes right on that instead of in the sink: then the water keeps getting hotter instead of colder and .votir room is not heated up. I use the tea wagon to put my clean dishes on and also to rinse them on. '

1 never couhl remember to take tlie eggs out when tliree minutes were up wifli sq many other tilings to do just at breakfast time. Now 1 start the 5’ieti'ola when I put the egg in and play an.v 3-minute record. AVe enjoy the music and tlie whole tamil.v knows there are eggs cooking and will as- sist in taking them up. Bo there are no more over- cooked egg.s.

Let Us Remind You The question is often asked of us if we

do certain kinds of printing.

THIS is due perhaps to the fact that printing orders are unlike goods sold

from the shelf. Practically every piece of printing is different,. .Each job of

printing is manufactured for each individual order. Good printing takes a Ut-

ile time to produce, and that is why it is often necessary for The Glengarry

News to suggest a day or two longer forthe “curing” of the finer lines of print-

ing.

But The Glengarry Ne'-ws is equipped to do rush orders in record'time.

Let us remind you of some of the lines which we produce promptly and

cheaply:—Letterheads, Envelopes, Statements, Billheads, Ledger Sheets and Du-

plicates, Private Cheques, Circulars Tags, Cards, Tickets, Dodgers, Sa\e Bills, Menus,

Factory Forms, Time Sheets, Society Stationery, Blotters, Booklets, Business and

Visiting Cards, Wedding Stationery, Invitations, Sales Literature, Books and

Pamphlets Cheese Factory Stationery, or any other work you may -want done.

Orders b mail or telephone promptly attended to.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES The Pastor, members and adherents

of the United Church have good reason to be gratified at the very successful services attending their first anniver- sary, held on Sunday and. Monday.

Large congregations were in attend- ance at the morning and evening ser- vices on Sunday, when Rev. Dr. T. A. Halpenny of St. James ' Church, Mont- real, was the special preacher, the choir rendering several numbers appro- priate for the occasion.

Notwithstanding tlie very inclement weather on Monday evening, there was a good attendance, when the choir un- der tho leadership of Mrs. T. W. Munro and with Miss Gladys McKwen as or- ganist, presented a programme of un- usual merit. The Pastor, Rev. F. W. K. Harris B.A, presided and the fol- lowing elergymj?n personally conveyed tho congratulations and best wishes of themselves as well as their eongre- gregatious to Maxville United Church, Rev: Wm. Aird of the MaxAdlle Baptist Church, Rev. D. M. Macleod, Alexand- ria and RevvMr. Reach of Eieevillc.

^ During the evening two presenta- tions, each accompanied by an appro- priate address wore made. Tlie first was a gift to the church of two silver communion plates—from the members of the Young Women’s Missionary 8o- ciety. This presentation was made by Mis. G, H. McDougall and Miss Mabel McKinnon and accepted on behalf of the church by Rev. Mr. Harris and Mr. W, Morrow.

Shortly afterwards, Rev. Mr. Mac- leod was presented with an address and purse by Messrs. J. A. Cameron and T. W, Dingwall. This was made on behalf of those formof meinbers of Maxville Presbyterian Church, who en- tered into Union and who benefited bv Mr. Macleod's ministrations when he w* acting as interim-Mod.erator.

The gift came as a complete surprise, but he made a feeling and appropriate reply, thanking the donors most sin- cerely.

The very artistic and appropriate de- corntion.s in the church were arranged by the members of the C.6.T.T.

LIME KILN CLUB When Banditry was having an un-

comfortable time, both in his flight and in his efforts to woo sleep, his fellow conspirators were also suffering a like fate.

In the excitement follow'ing their >

hurried exit from the meeting place. Tiberius iuîul3 good tiiuo but in liis anxiety to ‘‘cut corners”, he ran pell- mell into an unused well that had long

since ceased to function as a well, but which he found handy as a depository

for the proceeds of the tribute he ex- acted from his uiisusi>ce,ting victims.

This well, which was situate, near his house, was cleverly disguised. Over its mouth had been laid several pieces of light scantling. These supported a layer of green boughs, upon which was scat- tered a goodly covering of earth, which was lined to rGScmble a garden plot.

In his dash for homo, Tiberius was unconscious of geographical data, for

one of hi.s ambitions was that when the end came, he should be found in his own bed.

Running across his lot he forgot about the well, which Avns some eight oi' nine feet deep. One foot ho plant- ed oil tlie top of it, and next one on the bottom, lu his fall he was accom- panied by a- slioWor of earth, boughs and Juniber. He landed in aiv assort- nieut of liutter, flour and syrup that he had placed there .some days pre- vious ns a reserve .stock.

The air yOu could literally cut with a knife. •What syrup was not in his hair, eyes, or oars, or running down tho back of his neck was performing graceful curves in the air, while the accompanying shower of flour and fu- silade of butter ivas doing its utmost to repol sucli unannounced intrusion. There Tiberius lay, one foot in syrup, the other in bettor, while liis bead was pillowed ill an admixture of flour and gravel—n pretty specimen of a sand- wich!

As his mind began to function it was difficult for him to decide' as to whether his anetomy or dignity had suffered most. ,

When he had decided where he was. and that he w^as nearer home than, he was to Had-es ,he staggered to his feet, extricating himself from tho debris as best be could. He rc.alized that ho could not escape from his prison un- aided, so he began to cry for “help”.

His wife, wlio lay awake nw’aiting the return of her provident husband, hearing tliis wail, iut<‘rpretod it as the r'irst Nocturne in O. Minor of tho Felines’ Midnight Horeuade.

With all ■In accumulated culture of her experience slie cursed the wlude feline tribe from the wild cat to the Persian pet. Hut still tho cry contin- ued and with incroasing volume.

As she listcuoil there was something pathetically familiar in llic sound. “Can it l>c thn'. lielhas been caught at last and i.s in t^ytiblev*’ said to her- self.

Her guilty comiivam-e with her hus- band in his thieving raids, made her a coward. “^Vhat”, she thought, “if this is a warning to us that there's go- ing to be a death in our family”.

Hastily dre.ssing, and looking to see that all the children were unharmed, she ojicned the front door and soon sat- isfied herself that the voice was that of her husband and' that it proceeded from the old well.

I^hc had adi'anced very cautiously about half way to the seat of the trou- ble, when she was startled to see the figures of two meu, also hastening in the same direction. Wishing to avoid detection, she stepped behind a clump of lilac bushes, but felt much relieved when she recogni7x’d the men, by their voices as Lewis and Descliino.

They too had fallen on evil moments. While racing through the woods, side by side Descliino had stumbled over a stick, which flciv up and struck Lewis ill the face—His mouth, being the most prominent feature of that division of bis anatomy, was the logical target. Two teeth were knocked out and his whole molar system shocked.

Descliino in falling, tore his breclics', dislocated his thumb and scraped his nose. .

Both were cv their way home when they were attracted by Tiberius' cries.

Mrs. Tiberius soon joined them at the mouth of the Avell, and after a ejuar- tetc of persuasive profanity they suc- ceeded in landing the unfortunate Ti- berius. ^

His was a soiry plight—a most hum- iliating position for a scion of a fam- ily that could trace its ancestry as far back as his grandfather. With his bruised body and enished dignity, he, accompanied by his wife, passed into their home, while Lewds and Descliino continued on their way.

All this time^ Willikens ivas not as- saying the “cure”. While he suffered no physical handieapvS, his punishment w.'is meted out to him.

Upon his arrxval lioino he found that his stock of two head cif cattle had broken into his corn patch and what they hadn't eaten they destroyed. And there lying on the ground, dead, was his yearling lioifor that promised so well choked by an ear of corn.

This was bad enough, but wlien lie entered the house, he found his wife well nigh distracted. It developed, that his young son had been demonstra- ting his skill ^vith a new axe, and in doing so suffered a deep gash in his foot. Blood was flowing profusely and the young la<l growing weaker.

Hastily, harnessing his lioVse, Willi- keiis went fov tho doctor, who, upon his arrival, dressed the wound and mado tho little sufferer comfortable.

One' of the glories of the species is backbone, which enable.? man to stand erect. The Wise Man says: ‘ ‘ God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.” One of the first of these was an. adjustable spiuo. Ever since Eden, man ha.s been crawling. The oxeiisc: “The woman tempt- ed me, and I did eat”, has descended from father to son until to-day the red-nosed toper, tlie red-eyed libertine and the red-handed murderer offer the same apdlogy—“I was tempted.” The remedy against an evil lifo lie.s laf^ely in man hinisejf; “When sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” Have backbone, enough to say no to evil even when, dressed in an innocent garb. Jt is consent that dots the business. All the devils on earth and in hell can’t make a man herd with blacklegs and cutthroats unless he wants to run wii.h tlinu. Don’t whine about being led astray. “Coii.sent thou not,”

Ilie Riches of Canada (Toronto Globe)

Much lias been said and written

about the natural resources of Can-

ada, but no one has yet attempted more than to guess at their extent. This country has been called the bread basket of tho Empire, still awaiting the touch of the plow— agriculture the backbone of its wealth. It has been claimed that its fisheries could bo made to pay its national debt. Six hundred million .acres of its sur- face, one-quarter of the whole country, lia^ been estimated by tlio Department of the Ii^terior to be covered with for- est growth, and one-quarter of this with heavy timber of marketable size. Many millions of dollars a^o yielded annually from furs. Its coal supply is said to be equal to one-sixth of that of the en- tire world. Its known supply of iron is i)Iaced at 600,000,000 tons. Its wa- ter power has been estimated at some- thing over 18,000,000 horsepower at ordinary minimum flow, and more than 32,000,000 dependable horsepower for six months in the year. It has oil and natural gas in quantities yet unknown. Its mineral resources are regarded by those who should know as surpassing by far all others.

There are said to bo 20^,000,000 acres of land available for agriculture in tho Prairie Provinces, and a com- paratively small part of it under cul- tivation. Yet Canada’s wheat produc- tion approaches that ' of the United States.-While the forest resources are not known, the 3>ominion Forestry Branch has made an estimate of the country’s suppiv of saw timber at more than five hundred thousand mil- lion feet, board measure, and pulpwood at nearly thirteen hundred million cords. What tho vast coal reserves and water power supply would mean if linked up with production would al- most stagger tho imagination. Dr. Thomas T. Read of the Federal Bureau of Alines at W;>shington has taken as a basis of estimate one horsepower equal to the energy output of ton average workmen, and the energy ex- pended by a coal miner in an cightbour day as about equal to that available from two pounds of coal. This would make the energy suj)ply in Canada’s water power and coal mines, if stated in terms of man power, reacli prodigious figures. And this, Dr. Read says,^is the real basis of a uation’s producing power.

This should he almost enough to satisfy the expectations of an ambi- tious nation, but Dr. C. A', ('orloss, in addressing the Canadian Institute of Afiuiiig and Metallurgy in 1922, made the statement that 85 per cent, of the .surface of this country contains min- eral treasure of inestimable value. A report of the Koval Commission ou the Aliiieial Resour.-cs of Ontario pointeil out that the pre-Cambrian L.aurentian shield which yields mineral wealth, re- presents over 2,000,000 square miles. Only the margin of this has been scratched, and it has produced ore Avliicli places Canada in the foremost rank as a mineral-producing country. What will be produced as the area is further devclo^ied remains inconewv- iible. Besides gold, silver, copper, iron, Zinc, platinum and other metals, Can- ada produces 85 per cent, of the world’s supply of nickel. It also produces 85 per cent, of the w'orld’s supply of as- bestos, and numerous other noii-metal- lic minerals.

Now Northern Dntario is apparently to add to its wealth by the discovery 01 the world’s richest deposit of china clay and silicia sand. And half the story has not been told. > ,

Man's Span of Life (Toronto Mail & Empire)

To ÎI gathering of sociologists, Dr. llarnoll Hart of Bryn Mawr College, is reported to have made the prediction lliat by the beginning of the next cen- tury, tho average span of human life would have been lengthened to one hundred years and that many x><^rsons then born would live for 200 years. This forecast, Prof. Hart based upon the records of tho past and upon the progress that medical science has been making in the discovery of means of preventing or curing disease.

Dr. Hart, according to tl^ newspa- per reports, pointed out that the aver- age expectation of human life had in- creased from 21 years in 1850 to fifty years in 1910. Since 1850 the average gain a decade had been three and. a fraction years. Dr. Hart believed that this rate of gain could be maintained and, perhaps, even accelerated in the next three-quarters' of a century. A number of causes have combined to bring about the gradual lengthening of the average of human lives. Human being in /a large part of the world are probably better fed, clothed and sheltered than they were iu I860. Sanitation has been improved. Water supplies and, to a certain extent, milk supplies of cities and towns are move effectively protected against bacterial contamination. Conditions under which men w'ork in factories have been made more conducive to health in recent years. Advances in methods of aseptic surgery liave les- sened the danger of operations. The care of children, it is asserted, is bet- ter understood and means of protecting tlicm against disease have become more efficient. Diphtlioria and other ail- ments of the period of childhood, are being brought under control. Small* pox, once a common malady, is now' comparatively a rare one and malaria is now' understood au4 much less pre- valent than in former times. In tropi- cal regions, yellow fever aud Asiatic cholera take a smaller toll of lives thaiu in years gone by. The war against tuberculosis is producing re- sults, it is declared. Increased know- ledge among physicians of the nature of the disease has led to the adoption of a system of conybating it. Further- more, a ■wider general knowledge of the disease has probably helped to make early diagnosis of suspicious symptoms more common and to enable many persons to avoid conditions fav- orable to the development of tuber- culosis. The discovery of insulin has doubtless l^ed to the prolongation of the lives of a largo number of suf-ferers from diabetes.

One physician some time ago con- tended that the increase in the average span of life iu recent yej/rs was largely due to a decro.ise in the rate of mortali- ty among infants and young children. He pointed out that means for coping with a number of the,wear and tear” diseases of later life yet remained to be found. Among those ailments weilc diseases of the heart and arteries, per- nieiou.s anaemia, Bright’s disease and cancer. The search for a cure for cancer is being p»rosecutcd diligently and not long ago a physician announc- ed a new view’ of the nature of perni- cious anaemia. Discovery of effective methods of dealing with these ‘'wear and tear” diseases or with a conditions that cause them ivould tend to add to the average leigtli of life of human beings. V

THE COMMANDITE.

A System of Co-operation In Frencli Printing Industi’y.

An interesting description of a system of co-operative work in the French printing industry called the “Commandite” is contributed to the International Labor Review by Charles Maraux, a member of the committee of the Paris Typograph- ical Union, and for nearly twenty years a member of the “Comman- dite” in the National Printing Office. It is defined as an association of workers in the workshop of their common oiuployer which undertakes on Its o'wn responsibility to carry out a specified job or group of jobs.

As AI. Maraux points out, in any shop or factory where the work is paid by the hour or the day super- vision must be continuous. Though always an annoyance, it Is only more or less effective. In 1899 M. Charles Dumont, who presented to the Chamber of Deputies the budget of the National Printing OfiBce, urged the adoption of the “Commandite” system, saying: “A flourishing and parasitical outcrop of officials, prun- ed a few years ago, tends to spread unceasingly through the workshops of the National Printing Office, nour- ishing itself on the profits of that office. To cut the roots of this invad- ing officialdom and at the same time to save the money spent on useless tasks, on superfluous material, on ex- cessive and Impossible supervision, there is a remedy. The experiment began in 1900 with 60 members, and at present it consists of 180 w'orkers or one-half of the composing depart- ment. As to the results M. Maraux says: “The 180 compositors who do not belong to the ‘Commandite’ ■work under the orders and the super- vision of a hierarchy of officials and employes. For the 180 workers in the ‘Commandite’ on the contrary, the management knows no one but the two delegates elected by the ‘Commandite’, a technical delegate and an accountant delegate. The ,whole of the organization, the dis- tribution of the w'ork and the audit- ing of Us account? are done by the ‘Commandite’ itself or by it.s repre- sentatives and at it.s ow'n cost.”

The “Commandite” works in har- mony with the union and in fact it- self collects union subscriptions and strike levies for other organizations as well as the Paris Typographical Union. AI. Alaraux claims that the system improves relations with the employer, restores the worker’s self- respect, binds the member not to allow any falling off in his normal average output, and adds: “The reader will perhap.s be surprised and sceptical at this account, but it is not a mere figment of the imaginai- tion. The description Is simply that of a system which has been contin- uously in practice for twenty-flve years in a group which has grown steadily by voluntary adhesions until there are now in this great state establishment 180 members working co-operatively and paid as a group on the basis of tho current rates, with no prefe'rei|tial treatment.”

T/çft-Han<l Lore. Mf you had lived at any time in

the period 2500 B.C. to A.D. 1500, and had been left-handed, you would have been regarded as one highly favored by the gods and far superior to ordinary folk. If. of your own initiative, you had not seized on power, It would have been placed in your hands. But in all probability that would have been unneces.sary, for all down the ages the left-handed have gone ahead and made a success of life. They've something that the right-handed haven’t. The leading Pharaohs were left-handed; so were the Csesars; so also Alexander the Great and Charlemagne.

Whether nature compensates the left-handed by endowing them with special talents is a matter of specu- lation. The fact, however, remains that the left-handed are, in brain power, far superior to the .right- handed. A schoolmaster, through whose hands thousands of boys have passed, is emphatic on that point. No left-handed boy is, or could be, a fool is his dictum.

The explanation advanced by scien- tists is this: The left side of the body is controlled by the right half of the brain, and vice versa. And as the left-handed use their right hands con- siderably more than right-handed folk use thnir left hands, the result Is that the left-handed call into play, use. and develop their whole brain, and not one half and a fraction.

Diamond Cut Diamond. A certain country farmer came In

from his usual hard day’s toil in the fields and set himself down vith pen apd ink at the cottage table. With many and varied contortions of his features, he began to write.

His wife observed that he wrote a few words and then threw the sheet of paper aside. This went on for some time until, her curiosity piqued beyond control, she asked timidly;

“A penny for your thoughts, George?”

“I am trying to think, my dear,” he answered, “of a suitable epitaph to put on your tombstone.”

As his wife was in perfect health she rather resented this ..undue thoughtfulness, and caustically re- torted.

“Oh, that’s quite simple. Just put ‘Wife of the above’.”

Changed His Time. A tall, green sort of a well-dressed

fellow walked into a Broadway hotel the other day, and, stretching him- self to his full height, exclaimed, in a loud voice, “Where are the Demo- crats? Show me a Democrat, gen- tlemen, and I’ll show you a liar!”

In an instant a man stood before the inquirer in a' warlike attitude, and said, “I am a Democrat, sir.”

“You are?” “Yes, sir, I am.” “Well, just you step round the

PAGE srs THE GLENGAERY NEWS, FRIDAY, JANUARY^ 22, 192G.

Milk Stool Philosophy 311 tho muin, we do two tilings on the

farm—we work tliere'aiid wo live there. In other words, farming is an industry and a lil'e. Our chief ambition is to succeed. To feel that'wc have failed in this is to despair. In'this we are all alike, but in tlie tilings which we call sifcccss we arc all different. To some it means the getting of land, to some the getting of money, to others fame, or c.omfovt, or influence, or case, bat finally we all learn that “life con- sists not in the abundance of things a man possesses’' and that the real fascination of farm life is in the cle- nieuts of progress.

Xow progress like life has its ups and downs. The downs- have a tendency to make us unsatisfied, which can spur, us to try and make in us a desire To do ami to know i/ettev. To lie unsatisfied helps. To bo dissatisfied always weak- eiis. Dissatisfaction is nut the result of hardship, but it is the result of pros- perity. This is not so because of good reason but in spite of it because it is human nature. It is ïflso lunnan na- ture to bo mastered by onr attitudes.

Two little boys were jilaying' when a lady asked tliem what they were doing. Tl;ey said, ‘•'SVo are playing we are thrashing.'- ‘‘But,'’ saiil the lady, ‘•you must not thrash on Sunday.” '/o which the boys answered, "We’re play- ing all tJio time that it’s Monday.”

You see tliat in effect we make reali- tie.s out of attitudes. "SVe can make work out of piny and play out of w'ork witli an attitude. "We do not have deflations without both a condition and an atti- tude, and though the conditions be changed or even comu-ted and atti- tudes not, we still have the dissatisfac- tion.

One of our recent shipments of hogs averaged two hundred dollars per wagon load to the farmers and yet one of them said he supposed Wall Street would have it all back in a week.

The above condition is not entirely the outgrowth of ignojuince, but some of it is brought on by well meaning people who clamor for anything from government help to a chance to buy ga.scHno oil the installment plan. I feel such dedarings can do us a lot of harm iu so many different "ways.

At one of our farmers’ meetings a CjuOstion' canic in, asking, “Which is the hardest on a farmer, to have a big mortgage or to have a big patch of CaJiadian thistles.”’ When it ivas read a titter came from the crowd, in.nsmucli as to say, “Xow you are stuck,” and I would have been .stuck if I could uot

have answered from iny own experi- ence. In fact, life’s questions can only be answered from experience.

Yes, I remember when J had a big mortgage or rather half of a big mort- gage, for no man wl>o has a courage- ous wife is allowed to wrestle the mon- sters alone. »So it iv;is wo had the mortgage and the thistles as well and, of course, it made us struggle and save and sometimes we lost.^^ome sleep. But there was one thing wo never lost, and tliat was our grit. Yet it i.s this very grit that i.s destroyed by self- pity dope.

If the rising generation needs any- thing, it needs to find out that nuvney does not grow yn roso^.and tlnat. after all, the greatest university i.s the uni- versity of .adversity and the only way wo are r<'ally fitted to teach it to them is by having reverses ourseK'Os. But. what shall wo do about it? Wo hear of no end of remedies, most of theuY work liki.' llie oue the ]>n.stor ga.vo to one of his .people. It Avas a woman wlio cojuplained to him that she could 3iot get along Avith her husband and asked him what she should do. The good man told lier to put some fiery coals on his head. Then she said, “Will t];;B help? Wo have been iisingj iiot Avater. j

Personally, I have tried tn heed the: following thiîigs: j

.l-’irst, 1 k'arned that a man ,is not necessarily right or sound iu judgment; just heca.use ho is sincere. j

Second, that a large supply (<f the ‘ tlDiigs Avliich minister to life ami Iiap-j pino.s.s is not a curse but a blessing.! Wo don’t suffer from over-productioit j but from poor distribution. Half of j the Avorld has such a big supper amli no appetite and tho1>ther half has such j a big appetite and no sujiper .at all. j

Thir<l, that Ave must grow into co-i operation instead of go into it, for| I believe the existing methods nndj practices of marketing arc the results] of many (diminations and retaining of ■ the bottc-r and that co-operation isj just another sy.stem Avhieh is being! tried.'^'"^! look put for the fellow tbatj ^es on the ns.sumption that but for, him or hi.s scheme e\’erything AA’OUM ; bo Avrong. ’ ;

Fourth, that this world does not owe: me a living, but I owe this world n i life. I try not to sec all the time justj lioAv much I can get but how much I honest effort .1 can give because I don't expect to get any more out of life than I put into H-

Ififth, that it is better to see how miK-li I can live instead of how fast 1 cati liA'o. ■

There was big darkoA' camp meet ing going on.and BrotliCt Kfistus con- fessed that he Avas agoing right to

glory at the rate of forty miles an liour and Brother Mosc confosscrl he was on an express going fifty miles an hour. Then a good sister got up and said she AA*as not going on a train at all, but she was going just ono day at a time, “and you, Brother Kastus and Brotliev Mose, you'so belter look out or your boilers Avill bust.”

So I say saftey first. And, finally, I found that the A'ory

quickest Avay to get poor fast i?i to try

to get rich quick.

To haA’o enough to spare, 7'o know the joy of giving. To be tuned to all that’s SAveet in life, That’s living.

Miss Isabel Coursier, only nine- teen years of age, is the world’s woman champion ski jumper. She created a v/orld record at Revel- stoke, B.C. at the age of sixteen in 1922. This winter, taking part in the winter sports at Quebec, Miss Coursier made a jump of 83 feet in the International-Intercollegiate Ski contest.

A report from Smith.s Falls, On- I tario, is to the effect that a train I was stopped in order to avoid a col- i lision with an automobile making i for the tracks over a crossing. The j train was stationary when the au- ! tomobile struck one of the cars. ! The occupants of the automobile es- ; caped uninjured.

1 Tourists on the Canadian 'Pacific Î liner Empress of Scotland wére at ! the famous King Solomon quarries. I beneath the walls of Jerusalem, on I Christmas night. Many of them. : according to a cable receWed at i C.P.R. head offices, bought gavels. I made from the stone of the quar- I ries, with olive wood handles.

i According to information at the j headquarters of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway, holiday passenger traffic this year from points west was the heaviest since 1920 in the past few AA’eeks and represented a fifty percent increase over the amount handled over Canadian Pa- fcific Railway lines last year. Spec- ial arrangements made to take care of the Christmas and New Year rush worked efficiently.

! Canadian Pacific Railway earn- ! ings for the month of November I were $19,294,184.37, an increase of

$1,193,239.12 over the same period for 1924. Net profits for Novem- ber show an increase of $218,153.80 over the month of November of 1924. Net profits for the eleven months ending November'were $35,- 327,983.83, an increase of $1,830,- 043.32 over the corresponding pe- riod for 1924.

According to Johannes Borge, i journalist, of Bergen, NorAvay, who is visiting th? Dominion to rec- ord his impressions of Canada, silver fox farming has become a very important industry in parts of Norway. There are now about 150 silver fox farms in the Sondmo^e district of Norway. Last autumn, about 120 silver foxes, estimated to be worth 1,000,000 kroner, were shipped from the island of Norwey.

Traffic on the Great Lakes this season compares well with that of last year as far as Canadian Pa- cific earnings are concerned. M. Mc.D. Duff, manager of the Great Lakes Steamship Service explained recently that while grain tonnage fell 'below that of the 1924 season, passenger traffic and jrackage freight business was considerably better, making the total well up to the average.

A partj^of Mennonites, bound for western Canada, mostly to Mani- toba, arrived in Montreal recently with the report that those of their sect who had gone to Rosario, Mex- ico, were far from satisfied and in- tended going north. It is under- stood that^ 1,000 Mennonites have emigrated to «Canada within the last two months and that about 2,500 «note would be coming in the spring. Hane Seidler, in '•charge of the party, said not one of them thought of going to Mexico.

According to official figures is- sued by the Redemptorist Fathers about 300,000 pilgrims visited the famous Ste. Anne de Beaupre shrine during the season of 1925. Thirty- nine countries were represented. Of the number mentioned, 145,000 came by car and the remainder by train.

Seven Americans, touring the world on the Canadian Pacific liner “Empress of Scotland,” welcomed the New Year from the top of the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Four young ladies and three men left their party camped on the sands of the Sahara and climbed the pyramid, **for a little excitement.”

Two new steamshii? lines have made Halifax a port of call this year, and during the first six months of the year the increase in ship ton- nage was over one million tons. For the ten months of 1925 the increase in ship tonnage, compared with the same period last year was over 1,500,000.

Canada’s exports to Soviet Russia have increased three hundred fold during the past twelve months. Trade figures available show that' in the twelve months ending Octo- ber 31, Canada exported goods valued at $14,000,000 to Russia, as compared to $48,000 for the preced- ing twelve months.

Four international sporting events are to be held at Quebec in Febru- ary. There will be the snow-shoe races, in which 3,000 will take part, including 1,000 men coming from the State of Maine; a hockey match be- tween the Sons of Ireland and the Dartmouth College team; the Hu- bart Curling Bonspeil; and the In- ternational Dog ,S!ed Derby.

George Rollin, yard agent at Place Viger Station, Montreal, retired under pension arrangements on January 1, 1926, after forty-six years of service with the-C.P.R. He entered the employ of the Company QS messenger at Hochelaga, now called Place Viger Station, on April 24, 1879. J. A. S. Racicot has been appointed to fill Mr. Rollin’s posi- tion.

Four students from British Uni- versities, comprising the British Im- perial Debating Team, are now in Canada-meeting a number of Cana- dian university and college debating teams in a wordy battle on the merits of “The Geneva Protocol and The League of Nations”; “The De- generacy of Western Civilization.” and “The Singapore Base.”

From 40,000 to 50,000 British emi- grants will come to Canada under the new cheap passage arrange- ments made by the Canadian and British Governments and transporta- tion companies. Hundreds of in- quiries have already been received from those anxious to benefit by the new plan and among them are many from domestic servants.

Twenty prairie chickens were in- terviewed in Montreal recently and cast infinite scorn on the East. They hopped about in great excitement at meal time. The interviewer asked, “Take you a long time to pick up\as good eats out West at this time of year, eh?” A chorus of shrill voices answered disdain- fully, “Tut-tut-tut.” They were shipped out ef the country by Do- minion Express, for contempt of the East.

From August 1 to December 31, 1925 inclusive, a total of 201,970,'- 804 bushels of grain were marketed along Canadian Pacific western lines. Of this amount there were 164,191,- 936 bushels of wheat and 37,778,868 bushels of other grains Loadings for the same period were 124,469 [cars of grain containing 182,074,850 bushels as compared to 83,888 cars, tor the same period of 1924, contain- ing 121.618.651 bushels.

Dramas and Comedies

Actions for breach of promise of marriage are becoming fewer in num- ber each year, writes Charles King- ston, tliough the recent case in which a woman w’as awarded £1,000 against an Indian law student may have the effect of increasing a form of litiga- tion that is unpopular in most parts of the world. Indeed, in many coun- tries the jilted person has no rem- edy; the friends of the aggrieved woman usually take the law Into their own hands and chastise tho offender.

There is a mistaken impression that women are always the plaintiffs, in spite of the fact that there have been numerous actions in which they have played the part of defendant.

Some years ago a butcher su^d one of his wealthy customers for breach of promise of marriage, alleg- ing that from admiring hie stock she had turned to admiring him. That there had been a lengthy flirtation was true enough, but the w'o^an denied that she had ever had^'any Intention of marrying t^jie tradesman, and, although the verdict was givén against her, damages were assessed at only one shilling. Compare this with the £50,000 that the Marquess of Northampton paid Miss Daisy Markham.

Most remarkable of aU, however, is the case known in legal annals as Blake vs. Wilkins. There never was a more eccentric or farcical trial in the Old Counti*y, for the plaintiff was a man of thirty and the defendant a widow of nearly sevettty. From first to last Die proceedings created up- roarious laughter, the defence being not the least amusing feature of an extraordinary case.

The action was really an attempt on the part of a penniless ex-offleer to extract money from a wealthy and foolish woman, and to save her from her mercenary “lover” her own coun- sel devoted his speech to ridiculing her pretensions to be an asset in th» matrimonial market. He drew atten- tion to her age, her false teeth, her wig, and her wrinkled skin.

The barrister enjoyed himself so much that he failed to notice the ef- fect his speech was having on his client, but when the trial ended In a verdict for the defendant and coun- sel left the court to recf’ive the plau- dits of the crowd, the first person he tencountered was the infuriated widow, who proceeded to horsewhip him.

The chief argument against th© breach suit is its liability to abuse, and it would be easy to prove that it has been used for purposes of black- mail. Young men of good family have paid up ratlior than face a claim for damages in open court, and fool- ish women have thrown good money after adventurer.s for the same reason.

Occasionally we hear of rapacity over-reaching itself, .and then the jury is called upon to award one farthing.

The law, however, is peculiar and, as Mr. Bumble said, “a hass.” For Instance. It permitted a verdict in favor of a middle-aged woman who sued a youngster of twenty-one for jilting her, although she admitted that he had made the proposal when a schoolboy. Again, it is on record that a man who proposes to another woman in the lifetime of his wife can be sued successfully if he does not carry out his promise within u rea- sonable time after he has become a widower.

It is not to be expected, however, that many women would go Into court In such circumstances, but the temptation to get something for noth- ing Is often irresistible, and men and women will make tliemseives ridicu- lous provided there is ^ prospect of golden compensation.

That was the only reason why a certain girl sued, the same man twice within a brief period. She was a good-looking shop assistant when she accidentally made the acquaintance of a wealthy offfter — and after a whirlwind courtship became engag- ed to him.

Then ensued a period of doubt and stress for the officer, who, pestered by his relatives, eventually succumb- ed to their entreaties that he should jilt the girl.

He could not have been surprised when he was sei-ved with a writ. He considered that £500 was a generous estimate of what she had lost by be- ing deprived of such a husband, and^ the plaintiff disagreed with him. That he had too hiode.st an opinion of his own worth was proved at the trial, for a Jury awarded the girl £4,000.

The same week the defendant met her, and under beaifty’s spell, pro- posed to her again. When, however, he woke up next morning and re- membered what he had done, he re- pented, and as soon as the girl heard that he had changed his mind again she caused him to be served with an- other writ. The Judge and jury de- cided that a court of law, <^ould not be turned into a money-making ma- chine, and awarded her sixpence.

It Is a commonplace to say that no one is proof against the darts of Cupid or the fickleness of the human heart. In the long list of defen- dants In breach of promise cases may be found two wealthy members of Parliament, many representatives of the peerage, the editor of a matri- monial paper, and an Eastern poten- tate; while there is an ex-king who* paid many thousands of pounds to soothe the feelings of the eccentric Milan of Serbia, which alone rnakes hlm^ unique amongst monarchs.X

First Aid

By GENEVIEVE ULMAR

(Copyrltht, 1919. tj- th« Wettarn New», paper Union.)

For two days Nelson Wad.e had been a guest at the one hotel at Leesville. He was so reserved and unobtrusive and so persistent in not going out ex- cept after dark that the boniface at the hostelry was divided between the eurmises as to his being a detective or a bank burglar. Not that poor Wade resembled either of the ilk indicated, for ft more forlorn individual it would have been hard to find.

Nelson had come from Dover, 50 miles distant, and his forlornness harked back directly to that quiet lit- tle town. There he had lived from boyhood, there he had mot mid loved pretty, vivacious Nettie Mercer and had become engaged to her. Now that delightful partnersliip w'as rudely sun- dered, and Nelson deemed himself the most wretched of mankind.

A silly quarrel had led lo the deso- lation that now filled his aching heart. Fiery jealous and resentful, Nettie bad called her recreant lover to lime be- cause he bad gone with a girl visiting his sister in search of early violets on Honeysuckle hWl.

“Von made sure not to bring me any of the spring beauties!" she told liiTn. and before Nelson could explain to Nettie that the girl was to be mar- ried in a month 'and that he only showed her the most ordinary courtesy as a guest of his sister and that their errand hud been booties.^,» not one vio-‘ let having been garnered. Nettie drew the engagement ring from her finger, threw it at liis feet and flounced from the room.

-Nelson did not pick up the (drcict, nor did he stay to plead forgiveness, for he Imd done no wnmg. Nor did he I<»\ver Ihs digniiy^iy glossing over what he ('on.sidered very repreiiensible uc:ion on the part of Nettie. Ho went to ilie city for a week, leaving her to think over her irrational j(^aIousy and temper. When he came back his con- fidence in her “cooling down" was con- elderably aba.shed.

“Nettie has gone -.to spend two months with our relatives, the Donnes, «t Leesville,” her sister explained to him. “There i.s a genllenuin at I»ees* Ville, too, she thinks A great deal of.”

The gei^tlomaa in question was a married cousin of Nettie, but her maneuvering sister, older and wLser, minded not invention and a tnlliiig de- ceit to place the lovers on llie road to making up and behaving themselves.

Nel.son found hiinsidf .sunk into utter despondency at the unexpected turn tiffair-s iiad taken.

“Ye.s,” he .soliloquized. “ni go to

lAH'sville. ni manage to come across Nettie. I’li give lier the violets and tell her that, like them, my heart is Withering and—and I'll do it on luy knee.s. if necessary, for 1 cannot live Without h(n* !”

And. lluLS it was that Nelson had gone to Leesville. but to find his ,night- ly rambles of no avail. He had located the borne of the Doanos, and had hung around it two whole evening.s with- out L-atching a glimpse of Nettie. The third evening ho learned from'aii over- heard conversation of two of tlie Donne girls in the garden that Nettie was sick in bed with a bad cold and had been confined to her room ever since her arrival.

Just at dusk two ‘evenings later, trailing past the high rear fence of the Doane grounds, the heart of the long- ing lover thrilled mightily a.> he noted near a little rustic bower a shawled figure jiassing to and fro. It wa.s the first outdoor exercise the invalid’ Net- tie Imd taken. She was alone. What wa.s a mere fence, high mountains, castles, any obstacle, to the impetuous penitent !

Nelson scaled the high palings, got over the top. There was a creak, a crack, a crash, and he landed on the other side in the garden, prone and senseless.; A servant coming from the house uttered^a .sharp .scream as she noted the casrastroplKc

“Oh. Itliss Mercer!” ■slie crie(3 out; “someone is hurt. Quick! quick!" and Neirie came hurrying to the spot. It was just light enough to make out the f(*anires of th(' prostrate invader. Then .Nettie echoed tiie distraction of the maid.

“(>h. he may be killed!" wailed the frantic Nettie. “Hasten lo Mrs. Doane and telejihone for a doctor," ami then us the .servant fled toward the Iiouso Nettie tlirew herself uj>on the ground beside her unconscious lover, lifted his head • into her lap iiud .swayed and croooned dismally :

“If he should dit‘—and all my fault!" she wailed. “(>h, Nelson! my wronged darling!”

Nelson Wade opened his eyes. The first thing lie noted was the gleam of the engagen^erit ring on Nettie's Auger. She had leaned over to ki-ss him on the clieek. He smiled. He drew from liis po(fl<et the faded violets.

*T came for forgiveness.” he began. “It was all my fault!” she whim-

pered. “Now, then, a cold bandage and the

camphor." sounded the voice of Mrs. Donne, her hands filled with bandages and bullies. “First aid until the doc- tor comes."

But "first aid” had been already admiidsterwl effectively, and Nelson arose with a great contente4l grin on hW face, which Nettie emphasized with a smile ravlshingiy rudiaut and full of contentxneat.

MB. JA.MES MeXAMAR.A At Masseua, K.\., on Moudav, the

Jlth January, the death occurred of Mr. J.ames MeXamara. Deceased wlio was engaged in the Aluminum Plant, one of the largest industries of that town, that morning 7)roccoded to liis work as usual. Several iiours later he was seized w4th acute indigestion aud pa.s.sed away ahnost immediatclv. His sudden death came as a shock to rela- tives and friends

Tlioso legal pon- tiffs iiitrcpret, the British laws accord- ing to the letter that killeth and not according to the spirit that givoth life and that will maintain life.”

Pays Respects to “Interests” In tlie coiirsc of his address. Mr.

Bourassa paid liis respects to certain KOifish interests in iMontrctil and Tor- onto. “ Tlicse g'cntlcinon from Nova .Scotia”, he said, “thongli ardent Con- servatives, cannot deny that they have been elected mainly on a platform—-and a right one, a solid one and justifiable one—of protf‘st against the selfishness of Montreal and Toronto, whicdi want to dominate the whole Dominion.”

In fairness to these cities, he added. “No, it is not the selfish domination of Toronto and Montreal which is to bo combatted, it is the selfish domina- tion of a few individuals who, be- cause they command the power of money, through money and the associa- tions which money savoury or unsa voury brings, command the influence of lofty organs of public opinion,”

Make Bows As Ministers Keen interest attacdied to the first

appearance as Ministers of the Crown of Hon. George H. Boivin, K^G., (Shef- ford), Minister of Customs anÜ Excise, and Hon. Lucien Cannon, K. C., (Dor Chester), Solicitor-General. Botli made brilliant and effective (Conltributions to the debate.

The attitude of the government to- wards the amendment of Mr. Meighen was annouuccd by Mr. Boivin as fol- lows:

“'(1) That if tlie Conservative amendment wore carried the govern- ment would regard it as a motion of non-confidence and resign.

(2) That a vote against the amend- ment would not be regarded as ap- proving the legislation of the last four years or giving the government blanket aiithoiity to carry on for'an indefinite period.

(3) That those who voted against the amendment would be only pro- claiming that Premier King had done right to remain in office and in ad- vising the summoning of parliament at the earliest possible moment, that parliament might judge.”

Party United. Behind King Oontinuiug he declared that whether

the government were defeated or not the Rt. Hon. AA’illiam Lyon Mackenzie King would ccino back to Parliament to lead the Liberal party, either as gov- ernment Or as an opposition. “He will he elected with a handsome ma- jority”. said Mr. Boivin, “and will have behind him the united support of every member of the Liberal Party I accompanied tl.o Prime Minister in five province.s of the Great Dominion lu this last campaign and can truth- fully .say upon my hunoiir as a mem- ber of this House that in evei'v one of those five provinces he preached the same jmlicy. ’ ’

Mr. Meighen’s Alleged Majority Doaliiig with the section of Mr.

Meighen’s amendment ^which stated “the party represented by His Majes- ty s opposition secured in said élec- tion by iar rlie largest support in the popular vote”, and the contention that the Conservative group should have been called upon to form the govermneut, the Minister of Customs said, “We might have resigned in fa- vour of my right hon. friend, and what would have happened^ He would have been called upon to form a gov- ernment He would h.-ive come'^ to Ottawa after hi.s by-elections W('ro completed, would liave prepared a speech from the throne, ami summoned Parliament, and if he had placed in that speech from the throne the poli-

cy and programme whicdi he advocated during the last oU'ctiun—and I have sufficient confidence in him to believe that is wlmt he would have done—he would have been defeated hi the House by a vote of the rest of tlu' House out- side of his own lie followers.

Opposed to Tory Policy You will say, ^ Wh.it right have you

to say that? How do you know that they would have voted agaiust his Pol- ley? Because we imve here the mem- bers of the I.abor group, and I have heard them in this house for the past

four years advocating social legislation and saying, directly and implicitly, that they are more Liberal than the Liberals; wo have also in this. House those members of the Progressive party who, during the last session were termed perhaps bythcmselves, and perhaps by the press of the country unjustly, the Ginger group, claiming that they were more Liberal than the other mem- bers of the Progressive party; and we have al.so heard the leaders of the Progressive party themselves state time and time again in the house that they were more Inberal than the mem- bers of the old Liberal party. So I ask my lion, friend where ho would have got tiie support to carry out the Tory policies which he would have been obliged to place in the Speech from the Throne?”

Offers Seat To Prime Minister

Following the vote the Inberal mem- bers and scores of other friends called on Mr. Mackenzie King to extend to him their congratulations. Mr. Charles Macdonald, M.P., Prince Albert, Sask- atchewan, promptly claimed the hon- our of resigning his seat to make way for the Prime Minister, The official nomination will take place on Febru- fuy 1st, and the voting on February 15 th, if this IF made necessary.

Sustaining a motion of Hon. Ernest Lapointe, acting leader of the Govern- ment ia the House, adjournment was made until Monday when the spcecli from the throne^ which embodies the Liberal programme of legislation, would i;e considered.

The un.-inimous election of Hon. Ro- dnlplie Lemieux as speaker for a sç- ■oiul term was a tribute to the res- pect in which he is held by all wing.s ef the House and their confidence in his fair dealing. N'ational Liberal Office, 115 Sparks

Hearing Restored by Radio

HA is3 Elsie Hayes, 25-year*K)ld girl of 'Winnipeg, was induced by a triend

^ rt through a headset to a concert from radio station CNRAV of the Canadian National Railways at Winnipeg recently, though she had been totally deaf and dumb since she was three years old. As the broad-

^cast proceeded it became evident she was not only hearing sounds but was able to distinguish between the notes of the different musical instru- ments. ‘

At the, conclusion of the programme she heard her mother ask her if she had heard the music and nodding to her in reply, responded with a sound closely approximating the word “mbther”. The following morning on her way to work she was able to hear the rumble of street cars and she is now noticing the music of a phonograph when played with a loud need^ie near her.

Specialists in the treatment of the ear say it is quite possible that radio vibrations may have given her the first sound from the outside world even after 22 years, but that such a condition would only apply where the sense of hearing actually remained without being used during that time.
