Tories Play Party Politics Mr. McMillan, at the outset of his remarks, accused the Conservative Opposition at Ottawa of playing party politics all the time, striving to place the King Government in a false position, he said, and thereby •win the next election. Answering the question of tariffs, Mr. McMillan advocated as low a tariff as possible on fresh fruits and vegetables, for early consumption here. These fruits are among the healthiest part of diet, he said, and 1 the trades returns show'* that, des­ pite the tariff imposed by the Meig- hen Government, just as large an amount of fruit and vegetables was brought in as before, though Cana­ dian people had to pay over 23 c. per box more on tomatoes, and up to 80 per cent on peaches. Racks Australia Treaty "There has,been a great deal said on the bad effects of the Australian trade treaty.” Mr. McMillian contin­ ued. "I was inclined to be luke­ warm toward that treaty until a few months ago. I had been flooded by literature from the National Dairy­ men’s Association, so I determined to study the basis of their argument. And I found, after studying their literature, that they hadn’t a leg to stand on. Mr. Robb, the cautious finance minister, was right when he told the association to go before the advisory tariff boai;d, and 'if their case was given a favorable hearing he would give it immediate consideration. Huron Presbytery Met at Grand Bend (The United Church of Canada) The Presbytery of Huron met in regular session at Grand Bend on Thursday, June 21st last with Rev. J. E. Hogg of Clinton in the chair. The meeting was held in the new church building of the United church in Grand Bend of which Rev, J. M. Colling is the minister. The chief item of business was the elec-, tion of officers for the ensuing year. Five names were placed in nomina­ tion for the** office of chairman but in the subsequent ballot that was cast Rev. R. H. Barnby, S.T.D., of Blyth received by far the major­ ity of votes. His election was then made unanimous. Dr. Barnby has been the faithful and efficient se­ cretary of Presbytery from the be­ ginning. It was thought fitting that his services as secretary should be honored by his election to the chair. Rev. W. R. Alp, of Auburn, assistant secretary of Presbytery was moved up to the office of se­ cretary and Rev. A. E. Doan, of Clinton was made assistant secre­ tary. Mr, W. G. Medd, M.P.P., of Exeter was re-elcted treasurer of Presbytery, an office he has ably filled from the inception of Union. The Presbytery expressed its appre­ ciation of the services of the retir­ ing chairman, Rev. J. E. Hogg, of Clinton. It also recorded its sym­ pathy for Mr. Hogg and his people in the loss by fire of their beautiful church building early that morning. It was decided to make the executive of Presbytery consist of the chair­ man, the secretaries, the treasurer and three minister? and three lay­ men, the ministers to be Rev. C. F. Clarke, of Goderich; E. F. Chand­ ler, of Fordwich and A. Sinclair, of Hensall, the laymen to be Simon Dow, of Roy’s church; J, Beecroft, of Belgrave and L. Tyndall, of Clin­ ton. Presbytery Standing commit­ tees for the year were chosen: Rev. W. A. Bremner, of Brucefield; suc­ ceeds Rev. W. D. McDonald, of Eg- mondville as chairman of the Main­ tenance and Extension Fund Com- mttee. A very fine devotional paper on "That Virtue, the Supply of which seldom exceeds the Demand.” was given by Rev. A. W. Brown, of Ashfield, the virtue being that of patience. In a very fine way Mr. Brown brought out our need of pa­ tience with ourselves, with others and with God. Some discussions took place with regard to the stand­ ing and training of lay preachers. The committee on students and ed­ ucation was instructed to look into the whole matter and report at a, later -meeting. Farewell \was said to four ministers who are moving this year to other Presbyteries, but Rev, G, M. Chidley, of Thames Road was the only one of the four present to reply. After expressing their ap­ preciation and thanks to the minis­ ters and congregation of Grand Bend for their hospitality, Presbytery ad­ journed to meet in Queen St. United church. Blyth, on October 9 th next. 32 ministers and thirty five laymen were in attendance at Presbytery. KNOW THE JOY OF BRIGHT WATERS AND HAPPY LANDS The Indians coming upon a chain of gleaming, shimmering lakes about ninety ‘miles east of Toronto, named them "Kawartha’.'-—“bright ’ waters' and happy lands. It is many years since the Indians gave the name "Kawartha” to these lakes; yet today vacationists find it the source of happy holidays in the many resorts scattered along the shores. If you are an ardent fisherman, cast youi* line in the larger lakes for bass and maskinonge; in the smaller lakes speckled trout pro­ vide good sport. At any of the many good summer hotels there is every facility for canoeing, motor-boating, bathing, tennis, golf and all the other out-of- door recreations. Illustrated folders with full in­ formation and map of “Kawartha’ Lakes” will be gladly given you by any Canadian National Railways Agent- WESIIEYi'WILLIS UNITED CHURCH DESTROYED BY FIRE The which' was of. unknown origin, had got §itch a start before the alarm was given that it was im­ possible to get it under control and •the whole inside of the building, to­ gether with pipe organ and all the furniture and equipment, was re­ duced to ashes, or charred heaps. Only the walls and the front porch are left standing. The building, which was of solid red brick, was built twenty-six years ago, being opened in March 1902. It was a modern structure and was conveniently arranged and equipped, having specially good Sunday School accommodation, which however, had been somewhat crowded since the union of Wesley and Willis congre­ gations. I It is estimated that the church could not be replaced for less than $50,000 aside from the equipment, with the insurance about half that sum. At the anniversary held last month $1,000 was contributed for j the purpose of interior decorating, but this work had not been begun. Mrs. John Cluff’s residence, south of the church, and Mr. Butler's resi­ dence north, were in great’danger from the heat and sparks while the fire was in progress, but, fortunate­ ly, there had been quite a heavy rain during the night and the roofs* and walls were wet, so that no damage was done. Although there was lit­ tle wind sparks and burning cinders flew great distances. The Wallis THE MEASURING STICK OF THE TRACTOR INDUSTRY The University of Nebraska, which is the standard for United States and Canada in their Official Test No. 134, has the following to say about the WALLIS Certified Tractor. The Wallis Tractor pulled 75% of is weight on the Drawbar at 2.9 8 miles per hour. It Delivered 7 6.55 % of its maxium belt power to the Drawbar. It Delivered one HORSE POWER at ' the Drawbar for each 168 pounds of its Lincoln Test Weight. It pulled 27.05 h.p. on Low Gear at 2.98 miles per hour. It -nulled 26.36 h.p. on High Gear at 3.77 miles per hour. - Arthur Jones BIG, RED PIMPLES COVERED HER FACE, ARMS and NECK Mrs. Emil Ellerman, Killaley, Sask.* writes:—‘‘I am certainly grateful for what has done for me. ' '"My face, neck and arms were cov­ ered. with big, red, painful pimples. “After I had. used the first bottle of B.B.B. I saw it was doing me good, and after the second one my pimples were just about gone.” • Manufactured only by The T. Milbum Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. Kicking a Tire is no way to test it! ONLY a pressure gauge can ever give you a true indication of inflation. There is a correct pressure for your tires. It de­ pends on the size of the tire and the wheel load. At that pressure your tires will give you maxi­ mum mileage. If your tire inflation goes three pounds below that correct pressure you cut mile- ag,e from the life of your tires. Use a gauge. Better still, drop in at a Dominion Tire Depot once a week and have every tire inspected, and the pressure checked. Let an expert search for cuts and bruises. Often a slight repair will prevent a blow-out. I You are never far away from a DOMINION tire depot JOHN TAYLOR "I’m proud of the financial record of the King Government. In the past si?: years the Government has been able to save the Canadian people $546,000,000. Above this they have saved us, in decreased taxes, over $185,000,000 in tariff reductions and sales tax. Latesf tariff reductions mean a saving of $19,000,000 to the people. And they are not to the end yet. Reduction of the tariff doesn’t upset business—• as the statesman of the King Gov­ ernment carry it on—it means a saving to the people. The reduc­ tions of the tariff before the next election will be so substantial that everyone will be able to realize them Government not Extravagant "That the King Government is not extravagant, as has been claimed, can be clearly proven by an exam­ ination of the expenditures of the Public Works Department for carry­ ing on the business of our country. In 1914 the expenditures of the de­ partment ran $27,400,000, whereas last year, when our trade ran to $2,- 349,000,000, the expenditure was $17,231,000. No reasonable citizen can claim that such expenditure is other than most reasonably moder­ ate. *_ "We have a Government of which we have no reason to be ashamed.” Mr. McMillan concluded. "Its trade policies will increase industrial and agricultural prosperity, and we must 1 do all in our power to carry on in the best interests of our country as a whole.” OR A STRONG MAN EITHER "Pa” "Yes, my son.” "What’s a flapper?” "A flapper, my son, is a woman who does what an old maid would like to do and has not the constitu­ tion to stand it.” MASSEY-HARRIS^ MACHINERY The corner of the Inn and Bungalows along Pyramid Avenue, Jasper Park Lodge, Lac Beauvert and a group of cottages at Jasper Park Led* c A golf club house, throe r.cw bunga- lows, one of which is to accommo­ date parties travelling with h private staff of servants, and extensions to the trail camps, comprise the spring pro­ gram of building at Jasper Park Lodge, cthe tourist headquarters of Canada’s famous Rocky Mountain.Park. Ja3per •National Park, 5,300 square miles in area, is the largest national park in America. The. extensions are re­ quired to provide for the heaviest tourist traffic westward for years, ns it is indicated by the number of enquiries and requests for reserva­ tions reaching the offices * of the Canadian National Railways in Cana­ da and the United States. The golf club, ’house marks the finishing touch of the Jasper Park golf course, acclaimed by travelers and players alike to rank with the most spectacular and sporting in the World. » The club house will face up the first and eighteenth fairways, offering splendid views of Mount iTekarra and the Whistler range. On this course in 1927 over 9,000 irounds Were played*, e The added provisions being made for trail riders include a new chalet at Lake Kinney on the way to Berg Lake behind Mount Robson. Lake Kinney is set deep in the shadow of this "Monarch of the Canadian Rockies.” Likewise the camps at Shovel Pass and Maligne and Medi­ cine lakes are being extended. During the past season approxi­ mately 10,000 guests were cared for at Jasper Park Lodge. Many other were not able to secure accommoda­ tion. This is a difficulty, however, which should not be encountered during, the coming giimpfcr, for in SI addition to the enlargement of the Lodge, a thoroughly* modem hotel is being built in the village three miles away. It is anticipated that this will be ready for the tourist season which commences during the latter part of .May. Jasper Park Lodge is to be visited by members of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper’s Association after their 1928 convention at Edmonton.
