TRAQUAIR & LINDENFIELD >1 RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS Eldon Hading had a narrow escape on Thursday afternoon of last week while assisting his brother-in-law Mr. Ernest Cooper. They were taking an automobile across a wire fence pinning the wire to the ground when a post was broken striking young Hading on tile back of the head rendering him unconscious. Dr. M. C. G. Fletcher was caped and found him suffering with a lacerated ton­ gue and body bruises. SUFFERS SECOND STROKE Mr. Edward Lowry suffered a sec­ ond stroke on iSunday and is again confined to his bed in a critical con­ dition, It is about a year ago since Mr. Lowry suffered his first stroke.

He is at present somewhat improved and it is hoped that he may soon be around again. THE LATE FRED SOTHERAN I The death occurred in Exeter on ‘Thursday May 18th, of Mr. Freder­ ick S.

CHAUTAUQUA DATES Miss Jean MacKechnle, of the Canadian Chautauqua, was in Exe­ ter Monday and met the committee for organization in connection with the coming of Chautauqua to Exe­ ter on June 12, 13, 14, 15. The meeting was held in the Canadian Bank of Commerce chambers. There will be seven programs this year as compared with six last year and the season tickets will be sold at $1.75 instead of $2.00. The reports com­ ing from places where Chautauqua has already been held are loud in their praise of this year’s program The committee sponsoring Chautau­ qua have been divided into three teams for the selling of tickets. Mr. Jos. Senior was re-elected secretary and J. M. Southcott was elected as chairman of the committee. UNDER ARREST Four young men, who are believed to be connected with the robbery of the Exeter station have been arrest­ ed and are mow in. custody in Lon­ don. It is believed that they are the gang who have been operating in Forest, Denfield, Lucan and other places in recent weeks. One of the y.oung men was arrested after a chase near his home at Clandeboye late on Friday night. Three others were placed in custody near Forest on Sunday. They appeared before Magistrate C. W. Hawkshaw in Lon­ don on Monday and were remanded until May 29th. All four men have recently been released from Kingston penitentiary. They are Chas. Woods, aged 25, Clandeboye; and his brother Roy aged 24; Albert Fink, of Lon­ don and V. T. Blake, of Sarnia. Chas, Woods has confessed robbery and safe breaking at Forest, Denfield and Lucan. When arrested at his home at Clandeboye the police found ‘considerable of the loot that was al­ leged to have been stolen together with a loaded revolver. MUSICAL SERVICE A very fine musical service that was enoyed by a large congregation was held in Main Street United church on Sunday morning. Mrs. A. Clarke, soprano, and Mr. Frank El­ liott, tenor, niece and nephew of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Elliott, assisted In the service and sang several selec­ tions. Both are splendid singers being soloists in two different choirs in the city of Brantford. Mrs. Clarke sang two solok, “The Stranger of Galilee” and “I Come to Thee.”. Mr. Elliott sang “Spirit Divine” and “Open the Gates of the Temple.” A duet was sung by Rev. Mr. Elliott and his nephew, “Hark, Hark My Soul.” The pastor gave a short and very appropriate sermon from the theme “The Ministry of Music.” At the conclusion of this splendid ser­ mon Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Elliott sang with very fine effect ‘Love Divine.’ An anthem was also rendered by the choir. At the Sunday School ser­ vice in the afternoon, Mrs. Clarke sang “The Old Rugged Cross” and Mr. Elliott sang “The Beautiful Gar­ den of Prayer.” Mr. Samuel Elliott gave an interesting talk on temper­ ance. CYCLONE LEAGUE Schedule Various Views on Urban and Rural Problems Sermon on Farmers’ Problems is Followed by Interesting Forum Sunday was observed as Rural The Variable Dollar Life Sunday in James St. United I church. At the morning service the' Another fact that is practically pastor, Rev. J. H. Staintoil preached looked is that the farmer is deal- a very forceful sermon on “Capital-1 ing ia a variable dollar. Agricultur- ism vs. Communism,” He referred jcolleges have estimated that a to the conditions in Russia which; farmer should get $1.00 a bushel for ‘ his wheat to pay him for his work. When you put a dollar into icircula1- tion you expect to get a dollar's worth in return. A year or so ago it took 220 bushels of wheat to pay for a new binder. With wheat at 40c. led up to the overflow of the mon­ archy and of the Greek Catholic church. He spoke of the education­ al system of Canada as being .social­ ized as are the hospitals, asylums and other institutions and he believes1 that there is room for enlargement along other lines. The speaker has little use for party politics believing that we should be represented by in­ dependent legislators. He expressed. the belief that farmers should organ­ ize and stick together. He urged that the principle of the Golden Rule “Do to others as ye would that they should do to you” should predomin­ ate our lives. At the evening service ltev. J. R. Peters, of Elimville, occupied the pulpit and delivered a very forceful sermon from the subject “What About the Load That is on the Farm­ er’s Back?” This subject had been suggested to him. It is an economic question but the whole economic question is a moral question. The farmer’s load is not hard work or physical labor, as this is no detri­ ment physically or morally, Neither is it the responsibility of providing' foodstuffs for the world. That is | his task. He spoke of the conditions .in Iowa when the residents of the' city woke up one morning to find no • milk in the bottles. They could not produce milk in their factories nor in their back yards. It was then that they realized how closely they were linked up with the man on the land. The farmer produces the raw material for clothing, for boots and shoes, etc. He is glad to do this providing all things are equal. Drive through this beautiful Huron and note the splendid fields of growing grain. When the season conies the farmer goes forth to sow not know­ ing whether the returns will pay him for his seed. Injustice Makes Task a Load The thing that makes the farmer’s task a load; that makes your task and mine a load, is the injustice that is meted out. The farmer is the only class that is not organized and in­ justices are heaped upon nlm by highly organized classes. He did not refer to the local merchant or bank­ er. The situation is just as acute with them as with the farmer. There are lots of splendid men doing busi­ ness today. The trouble is higher up. The great corporations enjoy the protection of the government but the farmer does not. As long as the old law of supply and demand was allowed to function the farmer shared in the u>pwara and downward trend of prices. When the cost of hides fell, the cost of shoes fell. To­ day the law of supply and demand is not allowed to function normally. For example there is no correspond­ ing reduction in the price of farm machinery in comparison with the price of wheat. The price is practically the same as when wheat was three timfes the price it is now. A year ago a corporation manufac- turning farm machinery announced that it would reduce the price of new machinery by ten per cent. At the same time it tacked on fifteen per cent, to the price of repairs, a fact that they did not advertise. The speaker referred to the con­ tract of the canning corporations The farmer is bound under contract to fulfil his part of the contract but the company is bound to take only 25 per cent, of the crop. The farm­ er has no organization to speak for him. a bushel it takes 5 00 bus. of wheat to pay for the same binder. When the government stabilized the British pound it made a great how-do. In time the returns may work themsel­ ves down to the farmer. A peculiar thing about President Roosevelt’s recommendation to Congress was that the only item turned down by Congress was the proposal to stabil­ ize the farmer's dollar which would have set the wheels industry to work and provided money for relief. We can bring about prosperity by be­ ginning where all prosperity begins —on the land. The speaker referred to the big banking corporations and asked if we are going to hand over the power of issuing money into the hands of a few bankers, When the farmer was prosperous it was possible to get loans from the bank, When prices fell, even though a rarmer had se­ curity, he was refused an extension of time on his loans and had to rush his produce on a falling market thus sending the market lower in order to liquidate his loan. In two years the banks of this country withdrew $80,- 000,000 from circulation. Banks are on the gold standard, farmers on the wheat standard. Apply Christian Standards The whole question is one of the application of Christian standards in its final analysis. Readjustment of economic conditions are not enough. There was never a «ay when the need, of the application of the prin­ ciples of Jesus Christ were more pa­ tent than they are today. When the confidence of the people is shaken In our institutions the institutions are doomed. Who are the arbiters whe are stabilizing the honesty and the moral of the people. It is the stab­ ilizing power of Jesus Christ as taught in the Church and the Sunday (Continued on page 4) “SIGN OF' THE CROSS” Leavitt’s Theatre, June 1, 2f, 3 Exeter Florist We will have from now on all kinds of plants for sale including plants for the garden. 6 kinds of-Tomatoes Early, medium and late Cabbage.
