BENEFICIENT I1ESULTS.
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

,..-few"`; ears; and would like to men-
tion eticularly as bulls of out-
standing

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

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.

Federal war -time restrictions; fol-

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.

As per usual the ,. straight issue,
had a hard time in getting before

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-

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-

REV. W. G. H. 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.
Th years just ahead of us will be
trying, critical years. Statesmenare•

tion is in transition. There must be
no waste of 'resourses of any kind.
Barnacles must be removed from
the "ship of state. We must practice

that our province may march on or-
derly to .growth and unmeasured
strength, unhindered.

The following verdict was return-
ed after two hours' deliberation by
the jury in the Hastings' case at
Dublin on Tudsday: "We, your jury

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,

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.:

11IR 'HASTINGGS SAYS.'
STR ATFORD, Aprrl 1. S. I gave
hilt two 'tablets,'the same as' ('•had`
'been taking myself, not 'intending' to
do him anyharm,' but to cure his'
headache." ' •
'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.

DIFFERENT THAN 'THE:
OLD DAYS.
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. The wayto get
the \farmer's attention these times
is by advertising in the local news-
papers.
