POLITICIANS
Some superficial people think that all
politicians are alike; they say pigs are
pigs, eggs are eggs, and politicians are poli-
- ticians, and that all coons look alike to
them. This is a great mistake, as, to the
observant person, there is an infinite vari-
ety in all these. There are at least, seven
distinct varieties of politicians in Canada.
A botanist might classify them in this
Way
CONSISTENCY --An excellent variet y
very choice and rare, bearing a white
Bower. Always true to type. Very hardy
and will grow in any climate, but not
profitable.
ANTI-HEARST-A very old variety,
but dying out. Not popular with the
ladies. Found everywhere, but does not
thrive where there is too much water.
TRUE BLUE -A rapid grower and
sure bearer, but fruit is only liked by
those who like it. Blossoms about July
12th, and fruit ripens Nov 5th First
grown in Ireland
SAFETY FIRST An expensive vari-
ety to keep and does not yield much fruit.
Likes a rich soil and thrives best in shady
places. Grows luxuriantly along the lines
of some of our railways,and in the vicinity
of munition plants, and cold storage
warehouses.
NATIONALIST A comparatively
new variety found principally in Quebac
Province. Very eratic, flowers sometimes
red and sometimes blue. Experimental
farm at Ottawa regards it as a no xious
weed that must be eradicated. Fruit
Small and bitter, and of no value.
LIBERAL -A very old variety, import-
ed originally from England. Will not
thrive unless suckers are kept carefully
pruned out. In Canada the blossom is
red surmounted by a white plume, Found
In every province in Canada but becom-
ing somewhat rare in Ontario. Fruit ex-
cellent.
UNION --A recent hybrid of unsettled
type Flowers blue wi'h red streaks All
the rage this season. A very showy plant
but has yet to bear fruit to establish a
Permanent popularity Much used in
Ottawa to 'decorate offices.

1N BONNY SCOTLAND
An InterestingTrp to ,Glasgow, Loch
Lomond and the Land of Burns
(Goderich Star)
"My first visit to Bonny Scotland was
on the occasion of my six days' leave last
November, after arriving in England, but
my sight seeing was practically confined
to Edinburgh and vicinity. If I had been
contributing articles to the paper at the
time I would most assuredly have lauded
to the skies the wonders and beauties of
this splendid Scotch metropolis, for Edin-
burgh is truly a fine city in every sense of
the word To walk down Princess street,
which Scotchmen will proudly tell you is
one of the most beautiful thoroughfares
in the world, and gaze upon its fine large
statues and lovely floral gardens and look
up with almost awe-inspiring inter-
est to Castle Rock, hundreds of feet high,
on which is the stately and ancient Edin-
burgh Castle is, in itself, a genuine treat
To go through this castle with all its his-
torical traditions and afterwards visit
Holyrood Palace, at the foot of the heath-
er -covered Pentland hills, and innumer-
able other places of interest, not forget-
ting the wonderful Firth of Forth bridge,
one of the greatest engineering wonders
of the world, gives one a lasting impression
of the good city Edinburgh.
But on this, my second visit. to Scot-
land. I decided to visit Glasgow and en-
virons. From an artistic and historical
point of view Edinburgh is superior to
Glasgow, but the latter place is larger, the
second largest, I believe, in the United
Kingdom, and is infinitely more import-
ant as an industrial and commercial
centre
Just as I was -fortunate in arriving in
Belfast for "Orange week" so I was equal-
ly fortunate in landing in Glasgow for the
Glasgow fair and holiday season, which
follow close on the heels of the Belfast
fete. The fair was in full swing and
crowds upon crowds of holiday -seekers
thronged its many streets and parks and
theatres. It took more, I thought, than a
European war to ruffle the serenity of a
Glasgow fair crowd. The parks, particu-
larly Kelingrove park, at the western end
of the city, resembled a moving patch-
work quilt, for the munition belles came
out bravely in their best and the colors of
the shell fashions worn by bonnie Scotch
lassies were brilliant.
I noticed, however, that the many sum-
mer resorts around the city were, claim-
. ing the attention of most of the 'people,
particularly Loch Lomond So I decided`
to visit the latter place just before doing
any sight seeing in the city itself.
Loch Lomond, with its banks and braes
which has often been referred to in Scotch
songs, poetry and literature, is the best
known of all the Scottish Lochs and
though it lacks the romance thrown over
Loch Katrine by Scott's genius, it is
beautiful and varied enough to charm the
most jaded taste. Its proximity to Glas-
,°gow(19 tnilesby train) enables hundreds to
pour on to its shores and fill its steamers
every holiday.
I found the steamer and motor trip up
the Loch exceedingly delightful, and in a
good many ways, I thought, the scenery
in general appearance, is not unlike Mus-
koka lakes in the highlands of Ontario,
although there seems to be more depth of
color to Loch Lomond.
Leaving Balloch pier the boat proceed-
ed up the loch or entrance to the loch
and passing the grand old Balloch and
Botunich castles and park we reached
the entrance to Glenfruin, "The glen of
sorrow" to which a terrible history is at-
tached and which is surrounded with
McGregor traditions.
Overlooking Glenfruin could be seen
the ruins of the Castle of Bannachra and
farther on the old castle Rossdlau, at one
tine the chief residence of the Colqu-
hauns. The panorama spread out as far
as the exe could reach over the rolling
hills and lowlands with their green velvety
appearance and with these historic and'
ancient castles in the foreground was in-
deed one to command admiration. Keep-
ing to the eastern side and going between
the mainland and the large island, Inch-
murrin, preserved as a deer park, the ruins
of another castle, once the residence of the
Earls of Lennox, are reached. On the
mainland could be seen Ross Priory,
where Scott wrote part of Rob Roy, and
Buchanan Castle, We then passed Clair -
inch and Inch Callaich which means the
"Island otWomen." Here are the ruins
of an old church and an old burial ground
of the Macgregors.
Presently we approached Balmaha Pass
which was one of the best known of many
roads by which the wild Highlanders des-
cended to raid the Lowlanders in the old
stormy days.
We were now well past the perfect
archipelago of islands which appeared as
emeralds upon the placid surface of the
loch and gradually the shores narrowed
and as we approached Rowardennan we
carne upon a truly charming and lovely
scene, for there before us could be seen the
full beauties of Ben Lomond which in
mighty purple folds rises from the water's
edge There was such a rich purple haze
all about and in the waters could be seen a
distant reflection of the majestic mom,
the peak of which on this day was
wreathed by a silver cloud. the extreme
peak shining like a silver spoon in the.
bright sun above. It was almost as beau-
tiful as the Purple Mountain at Killarney
Skirting the base of Ben Lomond, a great
cavern in the cliffs was pointed as Rob
Roy's prison.
At Inverereaid, a t the top of the lock,
thare was much to interest us, for it was

AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS OF
PROGRESS AT WINGKAM
A Review of one of Wingham's Largest . Industries,
Western Foundry Company Limited,
Jne of the industries of which Wing-
him may well feel proud, is the Western
Foundry Co. Limited, one of the largest
and most complete F oundriesof its hind in
Canada. Fifteen years ago this Company
purchased the defunct National- Iron
Works, and as is the case with industries
which succeed one with the reputation like
the National Iron Works, they found it
difficult for a number of years to establish
the confidence of the community. How -

have over 90,000 sq. ft, of floor space. New
buildings were added until such time as
the land on that side of the tracks was
fully occupied, and in 1911 they purchas-
ed an additional eight acres on which they
erected a complete new Foundry, compris-
ing mounting shop, moulding shop, ware-
house, power plant, etc. The power plant
is strictly modern and is capable of sup-
plying the entire town with light and

ful and arehjiow celebrating their fifteenth
anniversary'' Needless to salr they
advertise the town to no small extent, as
the products of this company are distrib-
uted in every village, town and rural corn
munity in our big Dominion.
To establish an industry of this kind in
a town, it requires a lot of patience and
money. The nearest stove Foundry to
Wingham was London, and consequently
power.
The first range made by this Company
was the small sized Crown Huron, which
was exhibited and shown to the public for
the first time at the Wingham fair that
year. It gained instant popularity and
has been manufactured continuously
since that time. Since then the following
goods have been added, viz., furnaces,
steel ranges, -hotel ranges, heaters, etc,
all under the name of Iluron stoves an
JURY DISAGREES
James McCracken Trial Postponed Till
March
The James McCracken murder trial has
been postponed until next March, The
jury in the case, in which the you ng Brus-
sels farmer was charged with the murder
of his wife on Sunday night, July 22nd
last, was unable to agree after being out
from 8 20 p.m. until after midnight and
was disch-trged, It was learned that
nine jurors stood for conviction for murder,
two for manslaugter, and one for acquit -
al, Mr. Justice Sutherland offered to
further review the case by way of ad-
ditional explanation, but the jurors ex-
pressed the opinion that it tt ould be of no
use.
Wm. Proudfoot K. C., defense counsel,
made application for release of the prison-
er on bail, but this was refused by his
lordship, who stated, however, that he
would take the matter up in Toronto with
other judges and the application would
probably be granted.

the new "1Iurona" range. It is paeented
acrd registered ill both Canada and United
States.
Although this range has not as yet been
placed on the market, they have had in-

the usual custom they will sell the first
twenty-five of these ranges direct from the
foundry. This range can be seen at the

To Women Citizens
Now that we women are entitled to
vote, it is important that we should
make ourselves acquainted with all the
problems that may come up at election
time. 1f we study only one side of these
problems, we shall be mere sheep rather
than independent citizens. Realizing this,
the women of the United States have
carefully avoided separating into parties;
and have, by standing together, accomp-
lished many notable reforms. Tit Canada
to -day, wlreil it is so important that all
should work together for the purpose of
winning the war, it seems especially de-
sirable that we should try to understand
on another.
Plants are, therefore, being made ter a
meeting for dibcusshig the possibility of
forming a boll -partisan association of
esomett for the study of all sides of polit-
ical questions. This meeting will prob-
ably be held on November 16, and will be
addressed by a speaker from Toronto. It
is hoped that it will be attended by all
women interested in good government and
