Following an illness of several
months duration, George Amasa
Docking, resident of Hibbert Town
ship for over 63 years passed away
at his home lot 18, con. 6, Hibbert

fined to his bed. The late Mr. Dock
ing was born in 1870 on the farm

only son of the late Edwin and Lu
cretia Kinsman. ,Twenty-six years
ago he married Jessie Moffat
The Dockings, Janes and Page
families were the first settlers in
Hibbert, coming when it was prac
tically solid bush.

Friends will be interested to learn proved on motion. Mrs. Pearce was
of a very happy and unique event appointed local supt. of Anti-Narco*
which occurred at Wardsville on tic and Medical Temperance. The

niversary of Rev. and Mrs. H. B.jretary of the Social Service Council

a former Elimville pastor, is prom-. “Tell your children never to take
inent in the work of the London anything form the hands of a stran-
Conference and has -many warm
friends in this district.
The Rodney Mercury-Sun had the
following account of the wedding
anniversary: —
“It was a very unique occasion
when about a hundred members, ot
the United Church, Wardsville
gathered at the parsonage last Fri
day evening, August 11th, in honor
of Rev. H. B. and Mrs. Parnaby’s
25th wedding anniversary. After a
sing-song Mr. C. B. 'Sheppard 'intro
duced the nature of the gathering
and Mr. and Mrs. Parnaby came for
ward to the strains of the wedding
march played by Miss Margaret At
kinson and took their place behind
a nicely decorated table, 'centred
with <a very beautiful three-storey
wedding cake. A wee bride and
groom descended the stairs and pre
sented them with three exquisite
pieces of silver. Mr. and Mrs. Parna
by both spoke splendidly and feel
ingly of their -appreciation of the es
teem and love of the people and es
pecially did they appreciate the
thought because they were so far
from all their kith and kin.
Mr. J. Frank McGregor in his us
ual capable style spoke on behalf of
the 'church, of the happy relation
ship between people and pastor, en
tering upon a -5th year together and
expressed the hope that many more
years might he thus enjoyed and
that social and spiritual growth
might be even greater. Mr. and Mrs
Lancaster made a few congratula
tory remarks, Miss Florence O’Neil
of 'Toronto sang, Mrs. Florence Mc
Gregor Cady, of Toledo delighted
the assembly with piano solos as
did Miss Atkinson. Delicious re-
Jreshpents were served and alto
gether a very delightful evening
was spent, *

| vendors went after the childreti the
adults being two hard to trap. The
International Narcotic Ass. is work
ing in twenty countries urging their
government to increased vigilance
against this profitable unlawful traf
fic. Dr. Vining also said that he
had found not one town in Ontario
that did not have its traffic. Japan
has promised a reduction of ten per
cent, for the next four years in Its
manufacture of cocaine. Switzerland
reports that during the last three
years she decreased by seventy-five
per icent. her manufacture of mor
phine and heroine. China, in spite of
her disturbed conditions is fighting
tile opium evil vigorously. The drug
habit is almost impossible to cure. A
people enlightened upon the dangers
of a narcotic drug is the best pre-
ventitive. Mrs. J. C. Gardiner re
cently returned from Regina, Sask.,
where she had been visiting her son
Ex-prejnier James Gardiner was
present. She gave an interesting,
earnest and impressive address up
on conditions in Canada today. She
told us that if we did not work hard
er the cause of Temperance was lost
She deplored the indifference of so-,
called Christian people in their at
titude to the drinking of alcoholic
beverages and the smoking of cig
arettes. She concluded her address
by an appeal to her audience to help
in a long pull and pull together to
save Canada. After singing Jesus is

GOOD NEWS
We were talking to a miller the othei’ day in regard to the
grain of this present harvest. Said this practical man, “The grain
of this season has not as much, hull as had the grain of last season.
It grinds up far better and it is sure to make better feed than was
made by the grain of last year.” Said a very practical farmer,
who has made good in his line. “The farmers who really farm,
the farmers who keep the farms clean and the farmers who know
how to feed and get down to business are making something better
than an even break-,” and he proceeded to name half a dozen farm
ers. in .the district who are succeeding. This is all good news.
This same farmer commented, “I can tell you of a dozen or so of
the farmers • in this district who would be kicked off their prem
ises if the times were better. But they’re no good at farming.”
That is the comment of one farmer. Perhaps he didn’t know.

THE STUDY OF CANCER
The study of cancer, as was pointed out at the meeting of
the British Empire Cancer Campaign on Monday, is making real
progress, Knowledge of the origins of the disease has increased
and knowledge about treatment has not stood still. Within the
last few years, for example, those substances in tars and paraffins
which give rise to cancer have been subjected to very careful in
vestigation and a large body of information about them is now
available. An account is given in the report from the cancer
Hospital of the isolation from tar of an unknown chemical sub
stance poseessed of very remarkable powers of causing cancer.
When the formula of this substance was established an attempt
was made to produce it synthetically, and the attempt succeeded.
The synthetic substance was also endowed with the power of caus
ing cancer. It has been shown by this means that coal tar pitch
'contains a very active cancer-produicing hydrocarbon named “1:2
benzpyrene.” It has been shown further that molecular structure
and the power of .producing cancer are closely associated. The
question naturally arises whether or not this work can be related
to the chemistry of the animal body. Study is now poceeding along
these lines.”—The London Times.

LOST IN THE CROWD
For thirty odd years we have heard a great deal of talk about
co-operation The funny thing about the whole thing has been the
disturbing fact that the more the talk of co-operation has abounded
the deeper most of us have been getting into the financial hole.
In this connection we recall the experience we had when our school
master was teachng us the awful mystries of multiplication. Here
is about the way his lesson ran: Twice 2 is 4. Twice 3 is 6. Twitce
4 is 8 and so on till he came to this wonderful fact., Twice 0 isO
This latter fact has been running through our mind lately. Twice 0
is 0. 1'00 times 0 is 0. We wonder'if the co-operators or a certain
class ever thought about this. 100 no goods are just 100 no goods
no matter what way you mix them up, 100 ineffectives are just
100 ineffectives and you cannot make it otherwise. Even the
amazing President Roosevelt cannot alter these facts. Twice 0 is 0
He’ll find out, too, that put what tools he may into -the hands of
the ineffactives that they’ll remain ineffectives. Further, if he
puts dollars into the hands of the ineffectives, the effectives will
get those dollars, the ineffectives complacently smilng as they give
up what theta’ president has put into their possession.
What is needed is a desparate effort on the part of the aver
age individual to get a row for himself, however small that row
may seem to be, and then to hoe that row for all 'he is worth. The
tendency of late years has been for the individual to lose himself
in the mass, the strong man encouraging him to do so in order that
the strong man may own him body and soul.
Do we believe in co-operation? We certainly do but the
•o-operation we approve of is the co-operation among effectives
morally, intellectually and socially. We have learned that lesson -
of the old school master that twice 0 is 0 and nothing more. It is
a waste'of time and effort to try to- put steam into a man who
does’nt try to help himself. This is> a fact that is being ignored,
Ah, beg pardon! Under the present system the Oi’s have votes
and every “great” president or some such man never overlooks
that important fact! But what is the deetiny ,of a- country or of a
business governed by its 0's?
Two bandits who held up the pay
master in a Michigan factory drove
off in a car which had ofie of those
N R A “Wb do our part” signs stuck
in the Window. It seems that all the
folk across the line, each in his own
way desires to co-operate with the
preisdont.

CANADA MARCHES ON
Canada, like all other Nations, has had her set-backs. But these,
instead of being discouragements, hare been challenges to the Canadian
people that they quickly accepted.
We have proved to our own satisfaction as well ju.b to the rest of the
world—that Canada is going forward.
