A CHALLENGE.
The member for South Huron gets
back at 9,1MP of kis critics, who have
been so foolish as to accuse him of
"dialoyal" speech, by challenging
them to a real test of loyalty. He
says in his paper, The Expositor :
"During the late naval debate in the
House of Commons, we have heard
much as to what Canada owns the
Mother Country. it was one of the
strongest arguments used by the
position in defence of their poi;
icy to vote the price of two
Dreadnaughts. That polio has
been considered inadvi.tahle by the
majority. But the Opposition have

Why Some Towns Grow.
1:alt Reporter.
The reason why Nome towns grow is
because there are men of push and
energy in them who are not afraid to
'upend their time and money to boom
their town. They elect sulrctantial
buildings, organize stock companies,
and establish factories, secure rail-
rn*etR, work for public improvements
and ate every means in their power to
induce people to locate in their city.
Wherever they pin they tell of the ad-
vantages of their town, they writs
about them in every letter, they bend
circulars and newspapers to all whltm
they ran get to visit the city, and
When enynoe visits them treat him so
kindly that, he fells in love with them
and their city at once. itis enterprise
and everyone pulling together that
makes a program/odor town, and don't
let the fact escape your memory.

town were present. No wonder
Winghaut is thriving and progressive.
In t:oderich'a11 the time some people

just what the citizens of a town make

A few weeks ago the Ottawa Oppos-
ition censured the Government for
ratifying the French treaty, claiming
that such action would be looked upon
with disfavor in the United States.
Now the same Opposition, which was
willing that Canada should yield its
right of making commercial treaties
with other countries rather than have
trouble with the United States, is
spoiling for a chance to claim that the
Government ham matte some conces.
sions to avoid a rapt ore with ilncle
