What is known as the Live Stock Improvement Campaign, - being car- tried otr in,. South Huron by the Live Stock Departments of 'Canada and ;Ontario for the past couple of months, is drawing to a close as far as this riding is concerned, and has, We feel, been appreciated by the i'artnet, in general of the district. Pure bred bulls of proper type and breeding have been purchased at various . points in Western. On- tario, shipped in ,;to sale stables at Exeter and Clinton, given a clean' bill of health by a Govt: vet, and sold at cost plus • freight: • It•. is' tele portant to note that these balls''have ,been purchased and' recommended' by good, practical, live stockmen. In order to induce the farmers, who have been keeping grad's and other inferior bulls, to ship them to the , stock yards, the Government is paying the freight totToronto and ,the feed while there, and arrange- ments have been made with several commission firms to sell without. charging commission. The packers are paying as generous ,prices as possible for bells sent in this way. We are particularly pleased to ee find that the quality of the bulls placed are such that live ' stock should be materially improved in a et ,..-few"`; ears; and would like to men- tion eticularly as bulls of out- standing rarer. tro z 1 ,,,,� merit;those which were purchased by "Oscar Klopp, of Zee- ice; Mel}? n Hern, of Usborne; Louis Rade ', Town Lina; Edmond Walper, B' ancon' Line;' Simon Greib dos, .vete` ong, and John Simpson of tisborne; and Win. Ducharme, of the Sauble Line. Probably the most conspicuous benefit of the whole campaign is that accomplished on the Sauble Line around St. Joseph where int- provenient was badly needed. These men have not only put in real good bulls to replace their poor ones, but they are arranging to purchase some proper good females. Special mention might be made of those purchased by Mr. Win. Black of Seaforth. Mr. ` Black has - an ex- ceptionally good herd of well -kept females and has placed at their head a splendid roan, . eighteen nioths=old bull, son of "Escana Ringmaster," and out of a well` - bred cow, "Martha," by "Jilt Vic tors" (imp.) Mr. ,Black, more than any farmer in South Huron, assisted in having this campaign started I ere. Mr. and Mrs. ;Ed. Curtis,of B,'u- larton; have become , residents of Mitchell and are living in the house which they bought from Mrs. S. Ni.cholson.' SCHOOL FAIRS IN HURON. ('reparations Being Malde for These • Popular Events for' 1921. Preparations are being made for the rural school fairs to be held this. year in Huron county under the aus- pices of the pepartment of, Agricul- ture. They will be conducted this Year much the same as in previous 1 years' and full particulars are being forwarded to the teachers, with 'ap- plication forms for those requiring seed in the various schools. AS,,.In ; previous: years,. the .prize -money _must come .•from the e section in' whisk, the Competition is, conduct- 'ed, ;and a slight change. has been ,made.' in regard., to this in: 'the -fact that au ;agreement must 'be signed. ley_ the secretary of theschool board providing for the ;p'ayment of prize Money ' over to the teacher. In view of the fact' that these competitions have proved most attractive and instructive, it is not expected that any difficulties will arise re- garding the signing of the agree- ments. The 'seed is supplied by the De- partment, along with directions for planting and the laying out of the plot. In the case of eggs for the chicken -raising competitions, these are available through the Depart- ment but mist be purchased by thoseentering` this branch. , The crops are oats, barley, pots=" toes,"ernangolds, beets, turnips, field corn, sweet corn, carrots, onions, asters and sweet peas. No pupil will. be allowed more than one crop ex- cept in the case of five girls in each school, who may, in addition to a plot or a setting of eggs, have flowers. The school fair plots will not: be judged by the Department, but each section must arrange locally to have some interested person ,•judge the plots, during July or August. Score cards will be supplied by the De- partment for this purpose. Mr. S. B. Stothers, district repre- sentative, believes that the results will be even More encouraging for the present year and preparations are being being made to handle a consid•- erably"larger number of .applica-, tions than a year ago. afr. Salem Smith hasdisposed of, his 100 -acre farm on the 18th con. o:r, McGillivray. which was formerly owned by Mr. Wm. England, to Mr. :1. Brophey of 'Greenway. Mr. Bre- e ..phey is taking possession at once and Mr. Gordon Hutchison, who had the farm rented, is Moving to the 175 -acre farm on the 14th conces- sion 'of Stephen, recently purchased from .Mr. Thos,' Morrissey.

This marks a certain culmin- ation. in whet was a somewhat con-. tredictory situation imposed upon the 'Province by the removal of tie Federal war -time restrictions; fol- lowing prohibitory enactment with- in the province, add it assuredly confirms the permanency. of " the sentiment responsible for such leg- islation, `tf�1'lteuunier6hs' apologists of ,the liquor traffic `must now admit that this anti-ligttees eeptiment hqs' epnie to stay in Ontario, Evidently few have taken alarm at the grave warn- ings from the advocates of the busi- ness ' to save themselves from 'the invasion of fundamental liberty through the proposed enforced so- briety. The people have not been deceived as to the, subtle and cumu- lative agency 'found in the average liquor traffic for the moral and phy- sical destruction of a people. All the glorifying, which the drink habit has received at the hands of those who wished its continuance has not, been able to contradict the cold facts of modern science which every school, boy knows, and which show that the serpent which has always been in the cup, still remains there with venom in its sting. The evidence in the results of the Referendum shows that there Lias been present in the work of out- lawing the traffic, a much wider con- stituency of influence than that of those whom the opponents of re- striction have been pleased to daub "fanatics" and "whatnots." There is the unmistakable indication that thousands upon tens of thousands of moderates have laid aside every other consideration in the issue save their love of their fellow men and their' country. People of liberal .at titude toward the use of alcohol as. a beverage, but keenly alive to the fact that far too much preventable evil is nourished by its seductions, and fully aware of its caressing and ingratiating` ways in ensnaring- the young, have not hesitated to sacci-. 'flee 'their own comfort with "it' for their -country: and the' upper inter- ests -of life. To this large multitude we bareour• heads in' praise,' for they. are worthy: .1 People in 'thousands have' asked the meaning for first chaining down drink before- our Canadian battalions crossed the "sea, to go; the cleanest army the world has ever seen, upon its priestly errand of purification.', People have` asked the meaning of what sort of personal liberty is this which fills cities with slums and hords of wretched, and originates squalor and degradation wherever it flourishes; and the people having come into the full comprehension of. what is purported in these' are re- solved •esolved to -remove the traffic and to hasten its final exit.' Thei'e has been sufficient ,morality in this people to crush that of which they were strongly convinced is an evil: There may yet be difficulties but we can trust the efficiency of our Ontario and Canadian . people in our well - matured democracy to handle the situation. Walter Lawrence Workman, eld- est son of Mr. ` and Mrs. Thomas Workman, let concession of Stanley, passed away on Saturday, April, 9th. He- was 14 years and 2 months of age. 'The funeral was held to Hen- sel] .Union. Cemetery. On Tuesday afternoon, April 5'tli, Mr. James Jones disposed of the estate of the, late Patrick Carlin, of Idibbert, by public auction. The homestead farm of 98 acres, on which there is a fine dwelling house and good barns, lighted by Delco lights, was purchased ay Miss Car lin for $14,400. The two fifty acre farms were sold for . $3,025 and .2,560; respectively, and the pro- ceeds from the chattels amounted to over $5,000_ s»�4, .4. s>a<�a 1 4.*is*z4.444401 * +44-114 + • f $5() to 4. i 0.y 1 >r 4. . 94. ,� .

A; last moment edict for person- al appearance before . the revising of icer was a great handicap, The law; that great bodies move slowly, was, realized in >the `effort to get this knowledge to a large number of new voters. It meant that can- vassers had to do their work twice: Particularly in ,the. cities it was imp-. possible to handle this problem in' the time given. ' . Again the revision occurred dur- ing the Easter holidays when many. 1, were away. Then there wa''s vast confusion on election day as to the place, where those who had moven from one ward to atiother, should vote, , Still, again, it has not dawned on many -honest voters that pro -li- quor organization, ;,i under :temper- ance names, exist to .deceive the, el- ectorate. For instance the liquorites sent out "The Ontario Temperance Memorial." Already, Liberty League ers are claiming non -enforcement of. the inti -importation law. Now is the time to' resolve that there will be a House at 'Ottawa', made up of legislators who will "stand for en- foi:cement—men of the caliber of Ontario's Premier—no matter what', political names they' may bear. Verily, we have :witnessed a great triumph for righteousness. • Lottie- McAllister. REV. A. A. THUMPER When called on the 'phone Rev. A. A.

McALLISTER The vote on Monday Taste ought to gladden the patriotic heart of British Canadians. Where there was local defeats, , we know why, as the foreign quarter was located there. It affords one food for thought to find men of Canadian birth, think- ing and voting as disturbers of pub- lic audiences, criminals, anti-British and their kind, think and vote. The victory unmixed with any other issue, and ' se clearly outstand- ing, ought to guarantee the ohject for which"the great majority voted. This triumph will: hearten.the work- ers in the motherland, who are struggling, against .odds to gain the freedom we enjoys. The menace of the liquor traffic is not ended. This age -long conflict has not ceased. Specious ' -leagues, un- der changed' names, bootleggers, ruin runners, boozemakers` and dis- tributors, will still be with els. We may expect 'edmoufiaged sug gestions of many kinds emanating from the children of the' father of lies;, suggestions' so smooth, plaus- ible and ostensible as will deceive the very best.

The following verdict was return- ed after two hours' deliberation by the jury in the Hastings' case at Dublin on Tudsday: "We, your jury empanelled to investigate the causes of the death of Daniel Hastings, find the said,Daniel Hastings died,on the. 21st day .of March, 1921, at hi home on the first concession of they, township of Logan, and that his death may have' been hastened by strychnine poison, some of which was found iu.,the viscera.'" 'HOPED TO 'CURE, NOT ..KILL,' •More than half of the 1920 crop of potatoes remain in the hands of the growers of Michigan, according to the answers received to a ques- tionaire sent to banks in 285 towns" of the state from which potatoes are' shipped. Many of the farmers' are feeling "spuds" and many others de clare they will not ship unless prices advance.: Pat—"Mike, I joined an 'insur- ance order last night, and it's fine." Mike—"What kindof an`"incur- anee order?" Pat—`Well, I pay a dollar a'week as Iong• as I livened get two dollars a week as long .as I'm dead." WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?

' • 'This' was the statement made by Mrs. Catharine Hastings before' be- ing formally committed for 'trial on Monday, by Magistrate , Makins, ' of Stratford, on a' charge of murdering her husband, Daniel 'Hastings,' of Logan, by administering strychnine tablets to him on the night of March 21. Before being committeed for . trial at the next Criminal. Assizes, and in reply tin the 'charge; Mrs. Hastings_ 'said: . "The night ` niy husb"and" d`ed he sat up in bed and com'plained of a headache: I gave him two tablets, tire same as I had been` taking myself, not intending to do him any harm, but to cure his headache. When 'lie died so suddenly l becai'ue :panic- stricken, and I thought I was 'the cause of it." • "When I went to Mitchell I did not know what I was saying. I was crazed with grief." The constable testified that he had asked Mrs. Hastings whether she had not given her husband the tablets by mistake, `but that she had said that she knew what she was doing, as she' had used the same' sort of tablets for headaches. As Mrs. Hastings cannot be tried until September, an effort will be made by F. H. Thompson, I.C.; her, counsel, to obtain her release on bail.

In years that have gone and not so very long ago, advertising, mat- ter co,uld be seen all through' the country; on sign ' boards, telegraph poles, etc.; but theday has gone,' because a farmer in his, auto drives too fast to read the posters. Not many years, ago farmers came to town in buggies or. wagons to get their mail, 'do shopping and other business. ;What a change has taken place, for today, almost every 'far- mer has a mail box at his gate, a telephone in his house, and his car to drive around in.
