He was asked as to his opinion of the situation at Ottawa, and said: "This is no time for 'puesy-foot' work or for hedging, the people must be either for conscription or against it. In my ruing, Sir Robert Borden is acceptable as a leader of union government, and I ani net in sympathy with any attempt to drive a hard bargain at this time, Sir Robert Borden was the father of the com- pulsory military service bill and he is the logical leader of a union Government to carry it out. I would get behind national government with Sir Robert at its head." DISASTROUS HAIL STORM IN ALBERTA A most disastrous hail and wind storm swept over some 200 square miles of splendid country just east of High River, Alberta,last Wednes- day. On Monday a most favorable crop report was sent from that very district. Starting just two miles nor- th- west of High River, the storm, which was the most damaging ever known in southern Alberta, swept eastward across the Calgary to Mac- Leod line of the C. P. R. and the Aldersyde branch of the C. P. R. at Frankburg, and did not spend itself until it had reached the Bow' River, An area of four miles wide and fifty utiles in length, and repro--; ' : tg, roughly, a million acres or the best wheat an doats in the Province was entirely devastated. The town of High River was completely enveloped in the storm, and many windows were broken by the huge hail stones which wore hurled against the houses by the fury of the hurricane. Calves and pigs wore killed in the fields near High River by the fearful hammer- ing hail, and dozens of wild ducks were picked up dead hear ilio slough - es and grades after the storm had pass- ed A meeting was held recently at Car gill with the object of putting up a bowling trophy to be competed for by the county of Bruce onfy. The rep- resentatives of the different clubs :were agreeably surprised by the offer of StevensaHepner Co. of Port Elgin Brush Works, to present the county with a trophy to be contestee for somewhat in the same manner as the Bowman trophy, whieh has got out of bounds for Bruce county bowlers on account of having been won by Tor- onto and other distant clubs. The offer was accepted, aid a hearty vote of thanks tendered Messrs. Stevens and Kepner for their splendid gift. The trophy is to be called the Key- stone, which is the firm's name for their product.

You are always "among friends". There are more than 700 Ford Dealer Service Stations through-, out Canada. These are always within easy reach of Ford owners for gasoline, oil, tires, repairs, accessories, expert advice or motor adjustments, The cost of Ford Service is as remarkably low as the cost of the car itself. Nineteen of the most ,called for parts cost only $5.40. '=Just compare this with the cost of spare parts for other cars and you will realize the advantage.of owning a Ford. THE UNIVERSAL CARR 1 A.

The interior of both these churches I briefly visited. • The original Christ Church dated back to about 1038, but it decayed ring was re- built after time. A Dublin distiller, in the year 1871, expended pretty well over a quarter of a million pounds in the process of reconstruction. The crypt tate most ancient portion, corttailt5 many interesting monuments and relics, and somewhat re- sembles that of St. Paul's in London, St. Patrick's Cathedral n as built on the site of a church said to have been founded by St. Patrick. Since that time, however, it has been bunt and restored in the thirteenth century and finally restored at a cost of 160,000 pounds by Sir Benjamin Guiness, Dublin's famous brewer. The building itself possesses considerable beauty and an interesting feature is St. Patrick's Well, where the Saint is tradi- tionally supposed to have baptised his juncture. At this stage o/,the journey I casually ask my Irish friend, the driver on the opposite side of the "car" where the finest sight in Ireland was, and whether he thought that after visiting places of art and religion a little diversity in my trip would be appreciated, or whether he really meant what he said, I do not know, but his terse reply was, "Begorra an' it's Guiness's brewery that is the foinest soight in ould Ireland.

Before reaching Nine Acres we came to. the Zoo, which surprised me for its beauty and wonderful collection of animals. On the right of the road can be seen the entrance to the Vice Regal Lodge, the resi- . deuce of the Lord Lieutenant and further on the. Chief Secretary's and Under Secretary's Lodges. This place which is also known as Dublin Castle, was origin- - ally built in the thirteenth century and owing to its glootny appearance the build- ing more nearly resembles a prison than a castle. I had the pleasure of going through the presence chamber,. St. Pat- rick's mall or state ball -room and Chapel Royal. Leaving the Park we proceeded to aack- ville street by another route, so as to take in the Four Courts, (law courts) in e,hanc- ery street. The portico is topped by a colossal statue of IVloses. My attention was directed to a number of small bruises and "dents" that appear- ed in the granite wall. These it, seems were caused by bullets fro;n machine guns and rifles used during the Sinn Fein rebel- lion of last year. A short ,distance down the street another -building badly damaged at the same time was shown ine. Froin here we went over to Stephen's Green, one of the prettiest little spots in Dublin, which was one of the scenes of the troublous times of Easter week, 1010. It was here that the rebels had entrenched themselves and the trenches are still yis- ible, But it was in Sackville street itself, in the shadow as it were -of the splendid Nel- son rnonumertt where most of the damage was done. It reminded me of the ruins of a French village I had been in once at the through. Will I droive around that way front. The ruins of several buildings on up to the park?" both sides of the street are still there. Well I concluded I could have a look at Although the walls of the general post - office are still intact the once fine building , is completely gutted. it anyway frdm the outside, so wa went around and what I saw in the line of thousands upon thousftnds of barrels and kegs piled in the yards, trucks and wagons loaded up with wet goods lining the streets clown to the quay and a vel table hive of industry everywhere I looked made my eyes open in wonder and the thought struck me how much better it would be for the nation at the present time if every barrel and keg there repre- sented a high explosive shell. I noticed too, by the way, that this extensive con- cern was in the middle of Dublin's slums, and for several miles we passed rows and rows of poverty-stricken tenement houses. Preeently we reached Phoenix Park, said to be one of the prettiest parks in the world. From the main entrance gate a broad road runs across the park over three miles and is bordered on either side by large handsome trees and verdant space. The park contains nearly 2,000 acres and is heavily wooded and charm- ingly diversified. Along the southern board beautiful panoramas can be seen in the Liffey Valley. On the left of the entrance is the com- manding monument of Duke of Wellington which, being over 200 feet high can he seen from any part of Dublin.

Correspondence invited. Luckily I suffered from no ill effects of my first Irish jaunting car experience. I dismissed my man and proceeded down Sackville street towards the Soldiers' Club where I was staying. I just happened to visit Dublin at a time when there was considerable excite- ment over the East Clare election that was taking place and while I was in the city at least Sinn Feiners and Irish politics seemed to predominate in the minds of everybody there, the war itself seemingly being a secondary matter. It is a well- known fact in England that soldier visit- ors to Dublin are not accorded a very hearty welcome on the part of Sinn Fein- ers and the thousands of young men in mufti who throng the streets. However, I was by this time becoming pretty well used to the sneersandicy r y stares of this anti -soldier element, and although I have felt more comfortable in my time, even on an Irish jaunting car, I decided to join the throngs in front of the Sinn Fein head- quarters. And such excitement there was. Newsboys were rushing here and there; street -car traffic was blocked and hundreds_ upon hundreds of young men and women, old men and women and children flutter- ing; he Sinn Fein colors of green, red and yellow, were in evidence everywhere. And when the sign at the window "De Valera is winning" was replaced by anoth- er "De Valera has woh; majority nearly 4,000," there was a deafening roar, and I will never forget the screams which follow- ed, Presently the crowds pushed along down the street to the CourtHouse, where they waited the appearance of the hero of the hour, De Valera, who came out attired in an Irish Volunteer's uniform. He spoke a few words first in Gaelic then in English. IIe was given a tremendous ovation. All afternoon I witnessed several such scenes and heard many expressions of opinion, all of which convinced me that the Sinn Fein element is indeed very strong and is gaining popularity every day. In my present position it is incumberant upon me to refrain from publishing a good deal concerning what.1-saw and heard while in Dublin. That the Sinn Feiners are well organized is beyond a doubt and I noticed that day ,that there were many -young priests enthusiastically supporting the Red Republicans. Dramatic appeal to the emotions of the Irish people has pass- ed in this election to the Sinn Fein move- ment, who, it must be recognized, have appealed strongly to the imagination of .the young Irishmen, many of whom in normal times might contemplate emigra- tion to the United States or Canada. I found that America stands high in the estimation of the people here. "Englishmen do not understand the Irish situation" or "We don't want to have anything more to do with England what- ever," were remarks I heard everywhere. I am not discussing these political ques- tions, as that is not the purpose of this article. While the Sinn Feiners have at- tained considerable power and influence of late I could not see where the better class of Dublin were well represented and I was convinced too that nrany voters supported the Sinn Fein candidate in East Clare not because of his extreme policy but because they are ardent politicians and feel hopeless of obtaining Borne Rule by other means, Nowhere In the whole of Dublin did I see a Union Jack publicly displayed, for very obvious reasons; and that night at tate close of a performance atone of the !fading theatres I was interested to :;f" whirl her or not "Ood Save the • King" would be Fling. But the orchestra hustled through the verse amidst much heckling on the mart of young Hien present, I cer- tainly did not like the epiritof Dublin and re olved to shake its dust flout my feet in the morning. Several of Dublin's fine regiments have acquitted themselves gloriously at the front and there are a great many loyal and patriotic citizens in the city. "Despite all this, ' however, l came to the concluti'+n that Dublin is no place for one in uniform and thaiist or- der to keep out of trouble it r3 wise to give the place with its nest of Sinn Feiner:, and anti con's+eriptioiti5t9 a wide berth.
