Wise hunting today conserves for tomotrow's stilted in the triumphant election of a Coalition Government, headed by Lord Salisbury ,with Arthur Balfour, Lord Randopit Churchill, Chamber- lain and Goschen as his lieutenants. The Labor Party at that time was in process of formation under the leader- ship of Koh. Hardie, a Scottish coal miner who flouted the etiquette of the House of Commons by appearing in his working clothes and a cap. Before the First World War, how- ever, the Labor Party was not a popu- lar contestant for office. The work- ers were generally loyal Tories and were organized, in the north of Eng- land at least, by the Conservative Workingmen's Association. Chamber- lain was one of the first to introduce social reform slogans at elections, with his promise of "Three Acres and a Cow," which never materialized. But he was out.promised by the fiery little Welshman, Lloyd George, who virulently attacked the aristocracy and, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, taxed land values to such an extent that property-owners were bankrupt and thousands of people were put out of employment. Meanwhile the labor unions were gathering strength and were organiz- ing politically under the banner of Socialism, led by Ramsay Macdonald. Robert Blatt'hford was popularizing Socialism with his brilliant and racy articles in The Clarion. Bernard Shaw and H. G. 'Wells were promoting the Fabian Society 'and enlisting the younger intelligentsia in a slow and cautious movement toward Socialism. So it was that a third party •arose in British politics, challenging the two old parties for power. 0.1.0.01•pd.s.ocaow.1.1.,gravolvtas.o.u.lielese• 1103E urnishi-o .%bs 1•11/1//11111111111.11.1.1,11111.111.,111111111111111.111111111 DRAPERY SLIP COVERS VENETIAN BLINDS LAMPS - CHINA GIFTWARE OCCASIONAL FURNITURE ,, .111111114111M ,,,,,, 11101111111.1111111 iiiii 11.111111111 C. C. McKIBBON Phone 475 Wingham Elections Past and Present By Lewis Milligan In the good or bad old days before the two world wars ,a general election was always an exciting time in Britain. In between those political contests Britons, as a rule, displayed little interest in patty politics. Having voted a government into office they forget about it and returned to the urgent tasks of earning a living, raising large families, crowding sea- side resorts on bank holidays, trek- king in droves to football matches on Saturday afternoon, and packing the now empty) galleries of churches on Sunday evenings. The motor cat' was a novelty, and the wealthy drove out in the carriage-and-pair; the inure prosperous middle class sported their pony-and-dogcart, while t h e less prosperous were exuberantly happy when they could drive to their picnics in a waggonette. Radio was in the realm of miracles in those days, and the motion picture was a blurred "flicker." The music hall (vaude- ville), the pantoznine and the "ndscel- laneous concert" were the popular sources of public entertainment, sup- plemented by impromptu family chor- uses around the piano or pedal-organ in the parlor. In those days there were no very serious international "crises" and if one should arise it was popularly dis- missed with the singing of "It's the Navy, the British Navy ,that keeps our foes at bay," and "Rule Britan- nia." The British were not ashamed, but rather proud of the word "Im- perialism", for Rudyard Kipling with his songs of the romances and res- ponsibilities of Empire, was the popu- lar national poet. Whichever party was in power, Liberal and Conserva- tive were agreed on foreign policies. Lloyd George was one of the first to break away from that agreement when he attacked the government's policy in the Boer War ,and had to he escorted by the back-door, disguised as a policeman, front a riotous meet- ing in Birmingham. That city was the stronghold of "Joey" Chamberlain, who was formerly a Liberal and had broken with Gladstone on the ques- tion of Home Rule for Ireland.

Scenic Drives Many people consider this to be the most beautiful month of the year for motoring since this is the period that the trees take on their brilliant col- our, Grey County, which is about 3537 woodlot, is one of the best places to go in Western Ontario. A drive up the Beaver Valley starting at Thorn- bury is one of the finest in Ontario. That, however, is only one of the beautiful spots. The roads on either side of the Grand River between Galt and Paris are lovely this time of year. The fine summer playground of lakes and ,woods stretching across Ontario from Georgian Bay to the Ottawa River will be a blaze of colour for a few weeks in October, * * a, Planting Trees—A Sound Investment For the Future At times one hears opinions ex- pressed about the advisibility of planting large land areas with trees. This type of work is done largely by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests on behalf of the Coun- ties in Southern Ontario. When crit- icism is levelled at such projects by the public it is generally because there is a feeling that the work is ex- pensive and brings in no return, If we are foresighted in our think- ing it will be realized that returns are possible in a relatively short time. Christmas trees have been sold from plantations that are from 5 to 101 years of age. This brings a good pro- fit from the forest. When trees are 1 older, pulpwood is a profitable crop. A private plantation near Woodstock 1 yielded, as a thinning operation, 17 cords of pulpwood from 31e acres. This wood was cut and sold at $6.00 1 per cord, when the trees were only 13 years old. Under the county forest agree- ments, such returns go as a credit to- wards the county, helping to pay off the cost of planting. Further on in the future, county forests will be consistently revenue producing, causing little or no ex- pense to the county. Is it foolish to commence a project that can produce revenue for a coun- ty? Besides the revenue derived, a county -,,,4).st 'brings all the benefits normally 'credited to forests in farm areas. The county forest scheme and re- forestation is not foolhardy. Rather it is a sound investment for the future, PAGE FOUR FOROWICII Fordwieh VI,. 1.
