But these reflectiolts tier no action in the breasts of entaible Con- servatives. who look at the advanced platform of the farmers, and protest that they are Liberals in everything but name The Unionist party has, of course decided ♦to draw together for the full term, being convinced that if it doesn't draw together it will. be. hanged, drawn and quartered separately. Since the 'bye-ekctioris kicked the Unionist party downstairs four times oat of five ■ coup e w�eeks ago the Unionist party has flrtdw•n that its (ate was sealed. As the little boy said of the apple core. "There ain't goin' to be no Unionist party." It'll be Liberal or Conservative or no party at all With this prospect in stoat the Hon. Bob Rogers, as travelling re- deemer of the grand old Conservative party. conies into his own again, as it were automatically. Auto raticatly also the Big Stick. so often used in the Unionist caucus - that is to say, the threat -We'll go to the awntiy if you don't stand behind us' -loges its com- pelling force. The Government went to the country and what the country did to it is almost urfit to pr,nt. Any other time a Union Government goes to the country at goes to oblivion the same way. So the Big Stick takes another shape now. The formula has been changed and now it runs thus, "If you stand behind us we won't go to the country." which amounts to the same thing and sounds a great deal better. Any Union iso will tell you that there is about as much chance of the Union Government going to the country before it absolutely has to as there et of Mr. Rowell's plung- ing headlong into the crater of filmset Vesuvius. I have heard a few Liberals speak of the farmers as -little 'Junkers,' but mostly they welcome them as friends and view their advent with temperate joy. They realise that the farmers' movement must run its course -that it Is a vast and powerful movement. much more signifi- cant than the Patrons of Industry. and that it portends new adjustments. These adjustments probably mean that the Liberal party takes second place in a coalition party where it formerly took first. In this part the Liberal party has a farmer tail. From now on -perhaps for five or six years -the Farmers' Party may have a Liberal tail. The main point es that the Liberals and the farmers are natural partners and that some day they must come together. As a n atter of fact, the Liberal plat- form covers almost everything the farmers ask and if the Liberals Intend • to work at it there is small use for a farmers' party 'ravers- ing the same ground. In a manner of speaking. the farmers' parrs is a goad to the Liberal party to make good its promises and,if it does make them good the U. F. 0 will go the way of all pre- vious farmers' partie-- that is to say. it will take shelter in the capacious bosom of a Liberal party which is nearest its heart's desire. But before that happens it win possibly do a little ruling at Ottawa -accomplish- ing those disagreeable but necevsary things which the old parties refused to do - such as cutting down expenses. bleeding the profiteers. and firing halt the civil service. tYb THE HYDRO STORE NO KINDLY LIGHT.

Only British Columbia hangs on and that by the eyebrows. It looks dark for the Conservative, party in more ways than one. i say it looks dark for the Con:ervative party because even the most frenzied Unionist now admits that there is no such thing as a Unionist party outside of the House of , Commons. The bye -elections proved that beyond a doubt. The Unionist party is' goes dead. but it on talking in its last,' tong sleep.

A com- mittee of the council was formed. and in January a small representative committee was appointed in each church to look after and prepare a welcome for their own boys. These committees were combined into a township organization. Last Feb- ruary the whole committee wasorganized, with a central excutive consisting of W.H. Greeg as convener, Mr. Holmes of the Bank of Hamilton as secretary, and J. W. Gamble as treasurer. It was decided to prexeht each soldier of the township who had gone overseas with a signet ring. The tranship committeedrafted 1 crest for the township which was approved by the council and was neatly and beautifully executed on the rings by a Toronto firm. Finally on October 30a tasty fowl supper was nerved to the boys from overseas in the hall from 5 to 7.30 p. m. by Mrs. R. White of Gorrie. The honor roll. with 164 names, was unveiled by ex -Reeve R.
