The first Canadian Parliament
to meet in Ottawa in the buildings
v; Melt were destroyed by the disaet-
rous fire of Feby 3rd was conven-
ed on June 8th, 1800.
A great many citizens in Wing -
ham would not know where to
find the tiro bell in case of a fire.
Would it not therefore be well if
it were in some way, distinctly
marked? While Wingbam has
been very lucky by not having any
Serious fires for some time, yet we
never know where a blaze is going
to get a good start, and a good way
to let it get a good wart would be
for the man who sends in the
alarm, to pull the town bell instead
of the fire bell, as bay been done
on a couple oecassions of late.
Sam Hughes Unscathed
The Ottawa Free Press (Liberal),
after General Hughes bad stepped
out of the stand at the Shell Con-
tract Investigation state((: ' So
General Hughes left the stand
without a dint in hili knightly ar-
mor; without having lost a trench
of. his d"fence works and without
ass inch off h's lacrosse nose,"
The opinion of the Ottawa Free
Press is the general opinion that
Hughes has emerged from the or-
deal With !lying colors, and that
the attempts of Messrs. Kyte and
Carvell to "get" the Minisiter have
absolutely failed. General Hughes
showed that he had no connection
with any commission or knew noth-
ing about any, that lie had from
the first salad to have all orders
let without the intervention cf
auiddlemen, that it was through bis
efforts that the prices of fuses were
reduced, that he bad aimed to have
all work possible done in Canada,
;and that he had acted only in the
Vest interests as be judged them,
of Canada and of tbe Empire.

PRODUCTION AND THRIFT
Wheat and the War
One of the most comprehensive at, -
doles in the Agricultural War Book
of 1016 deals with the subject of
"Wheat and the War." It is written
by Mr, T. K. Doherty, L L.B., Conn
misaioner of the International Agri-
culture! Institute. The author traces
the course of events, as regard the
wheat marker, in the momentous
years of 1013, 1914 and 1915, the first -
named, sharing with the last two
years some of their importance—al
though preceding the war—by reason
of the decline of prices from those of
1012. Iu 1914 15 prices per bushel of
B'itisb wheat jumped from $1 05 to
$1,61. In this connection Mr. Doherty
aske readers to examine a table giving
quotations of prices slues the year
1800, In 7812 the figures reached their
z nith, Br'it'ain having ware with
Fe•ance and the United States on her
hands. Wheat was then $3 80 a bushel
or more than three times the standing
of to day. During the first quarter of
the nineteenth century the lowest
price was $1•,^,7, this was in 1822. In
the second quarter, the lowest figure
was reached in 1835, when wheat stood.
at $1 35: In tbo third quarter prices
ranged from $1 17 in 1451 to $Z 27 in
1855, fluctuating after that from $1.22
in l861 to $1 95 in 1807 and down to
$1.37 in 1875 In 1.877 the price was
$1.73. In 1878 tbe quotation was $1 40
A period of steadiness followed until
1833, when there was a drop to $1 25
Ole decline continued, the even dollar
being reached in the following year.
Then, for the first time in the period
covered in the table, or in 1A6fl, below
that figure was reached 0i cents being
the quotation. In 1801 the price was
$1,03, the lowest point, nearly OS cents
being touched in 1801. Four teen years
elapsed before a dollar was again e;t.
ceeded. In 1009 the highest qm t talon
stood at $1 13. Mr. Doherty briefly
outlines the cause for thee finctuat-
ions, and proceeds to deal with the
situation arising from the supply and
demand in the last ltbree yparp. He
also deals with the output of other
crops during those years, referring to
the best known authorities in support
of his details and deductions. He
goes largely into the requirements and
productions of the world in wheat,
giving tables showing the'ieJd in 32
countries of wheat and 22 of oats, jo
his conclusion, he also suggests that
every aspect of the wheat situation
appears to indicate the improbability
of a return to the low average prices
of 1010, 11 and 12, and that following
the declaration of peace there will be
a greatly irtureased demand.
His final words ate "Beonomic inter-
ests unite, therefore. with patriotic
duty in stimulating the agriculturists
of Canada to extraordinary product-
ive efforts during the forthcoming sea-
son." As an appendix, a description
is given of marketing operations in
Australia, The article deserves and
should attract wide attention, The

The following lines were written
fifty years ago by a man who saw act-
ive service in the Ridgeway fray and
who now lives in Wingham,
An outcry was heard on the Caned-
ian border,
A cry of a raid by a roughenly crew,
Who unmindful of right but replete
with disorder
Had invaded our shores with a plun-
dering view,
The news on the wind, borne aloft
on its pinions,
Assailed the hearts of the peop'o who
sprang to their arms,
Should the dastardly wretches in-
vade the Dominions
Of the Queen that we love, at whose
name each heart warms.
No sooner the news had to Toronto
came flying,
'Than loyalty struck up her soul stir-
ring drum,
The bugle note sounded the multi
tude crying,
"To arms, then to arms for the Fenians
have come"!
Briefly they gathered, their homes
left behind them,
L•rvery gun.in each hand, every anap-
sack to back,
Determined their country in duty
should find them,
Pledged to oorgner or die neatb the
proud J'nion Jack.
Not a moment was last ere the brave
boys departed, -
Mid tears, cheers and blessings,
The gallant Queen's Own
Left their parents, their sisters, their
sweethearts and started,
.Determined the foe, for his rail
shout) atone,
They charged with a will on the.
roughenly horde,
Each war cry was, many a Fenian
knell. '
They did their depair bgtb with,
musket and sword,
But Tempest, Dufries and McEichern
fell.
Mourn! ()abode, mourn! for the
dentia of your sons,
Their young lives srrrretldered in
battling for Ghee,
Mourn, parents god eFstet's and those
loved ones,
Mourn for our, heroes who died to be
free.
Mourn fellow Soldiers, let tLe tear
stain your cheek,
On occasions like this it is manly to
weep.
Mourn fellow -citizens, both the
strong and the weak,
Mourn In anguish for those who now
sleep their last sleep.
Bang a laurel totaled wreath o'er
the patript'a grave;
Hymn a requiem song for the spiritg
• that's fled,
And breathe out a prayer for our
worthy young braves,
And murmur a blessing for those that
are dead.

the rest;

ONE DAV OF PROHIBITION
Chicago" has bad a trial of pro-
hibition of the liq+tor traffic every
Sunday beginning Ootober the 10:h
and the result as reported would saris.
fy any one but a drunkard or an idiot
that the sooner the whole world goes
dry the better for everybody, When
the saloons were open there was an
average of three murders every,Sunday
and a Large number of accidents on
Monday. Since the saloons are clos•
ed on Sunday there has not been a
murder on that day and Monday ac-
cidents have been greatly reduced.
The editor of the Templar has been
in Chicago investigating and has elven
come interesting facts bearing on Sun•
day closing. Ten thousand bar tend-
ers will now have a day of rest and it
has been estimated that the citizen sof
Chicago will save about twenty >t
million. dollars n year by Sunday clor-
iPg,
A chorus of approval comes from
the heads of tbe big manufacturing
and mercantile industries. Tho re
ports show that there are fewer Mon•
day accidents, merchants report sell•
ing more goods on monday, and that
Sunday r•ffieiency has greatly increas•
