EDITORIAL NOTES
In future it will not be necessary for
a witness in taking an oath in court to
kiss the Bible. The legal committee of
the Ontario Legislature Friday morning
passed an amendment to the Evidence
Act, which provides that a witness shall
be sworn by administering the oath
while be has a copy of the Old or New
Testament in his hand.
Wholesale vendors, employed by the
Government. will dispense liquor in
Ontario after prohibition goes into
effect. Announcement involving this
important change in the bill was made
in the Legislature by Hon W. J,
Hanna, provincial secretary. The
Government has been hoping that this
trade would he handled by wholesale
druggists, but it transpired that the
wholesale druggists prefer to have
nothing to do with the business.
A Bill has been introduced by the
Government to produce for the full de-
velopment of power at Niagara Falls.
The premier described the object of the
bill as providing for the development
of the unalotted water at Niagara
Falls belonging to the Province of Ont-
ario, in accordance with the recommend-
ations of the Hydro Commission. Mr.
Rowell o
n behalf of the e O oosition
A ,
expressed concurrence in the general
principal that the Province should re-
tain control of ail undeveloped power
tor the benefit of the people of the
province. The "McGary" Bill, appoint-
ing a Comptroller of the Accounts of
the Hydro Commission, has been given
its second reading. It provides for the
appointment by the Government of a
Comptroller to the Commission, and
involves practically the control by the
Government of the financial affairs and
methods of accounting of the Hydro
Commission. The Bill is likely to be
the subject of much controversy, and
in some quarters is regarded as equiv-
alent to an expression of want of con-
fidence by the Government in the
Commission. The principle, however,
of too much control by the Government
is not all favoured by the municipal-
ities concerned.
SPREADING RUMORS
(Guelph Mercury)
The report was put in circulation on
Saturday that the boat carrying the;
list Battalion had been sunk by a sub -1
marine. There were several telephone
calls to this office on Saturday morning,
from different parts of the city, inquir-
ing into the statement, and whether
there was any truth in it.
The same report was persistently
circulated after the 29th and the 34th
had left for the old country. The
vessel that was carrying them over was
sunk at least a dozen times, and each
time hundreds who had relatives on
board were thrown into a state of
anxiety and mental anguish,
One of the men of the battery that
left recently, writing to his wife here,
stated that he bad heard the same re_
port had been sent back to Canada and
remarks "you can imagine what my
thoughts were about you."
It may seem a harmless thing to pass
a rumor. It may not seem much to re-
mark that you have heard that a boat
carrying Canadian troops bad been
sunk- but don't do it.
The man standing around a street
corner is not apt to get news of this
description much faster than a news-
paper, which maintains a speciaiservice
for that purpose. If such were the
case, it would pay the publishers im-
mensely to discard their telegraph
service and have their editorial room
where the peanut wagons now hold
forth.
Be easy with the rumor business.
Don't pass it on unless you ate sure of
it. If you put your tongue between►
your teeth the rumor may stop right
there.

OORRI,E.
Dr, Holmes, of Gotierieh, has ordered
an inquest to be held into the death of
Mrs. Anabella Brownlee. a young wo
man who died at Grant, near Cochrane,
in Northern Ontario, under alleged
peculiar circumstances, After her
death the body was sent to her old home
for burial at Gorrie. Rumors arose
of unusual circumstances in connection
with her death, and an investigation
followed, the body being exhumed. An
analysis of the stomach, which was
sent to Toronto, disclosed traces of
strychnine poison, it is stated, which,
it is thought, would have caused death.
The poisoh may have been taken ac-
cidentally and her death may not have
been caused by any foul play. The
date of the inquest has been fixed for
May 2.
WEST WA W.aNOSft.
The death of Mr. Hugh McCrostie, of
the llth con., West Wawanosh, which
occurred on Friday, April 7th, brought
deep regret to a very large circle of
friends throughout the Country. It
was generally understood that Mr. Mc-
Crostie was in a fair way to complete
recovery from the accident which he
suffered in the winter while at work in
the bush. But it appears that recovery
was not complete and that of late
ha suffered a number of weak
spells, possibly indicating a .failure of
the heart. Seldom does one hear a
man so universally well spoken of as
the late Mr. McCrostie He appears to
have been a man of many friends and
few or no
n s. I ie t said ts d that his
was one of the most hospitable of
homes, nowhere could one go where he
would he more honestly and warmly
welcomed than to Mr. McCrostie's, He
was an extremely even-tempered man,
industrious, diligent in business, a
Liberal in politics, and a constant mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church at St.
Helens. His influence was always on
the side which made for the social im-
provement and the moral uplift of the
community. Mr. McCrostie was born
in Scotland 67 years ago, and came to
this country in early boyhood. The
family first settled in Belfast, where
his father for a time conducted the
hotel. Later they moved to the farm,
Hugh buying an adjoining lot. He
married Miss Martha Watson, who with
three sons and a daughter survive bim,

!r RAISE MORE POULTRY
This '
is
a season of the year when everyone one i
s trying to decide the
Iq variety of poultry to be raised in 1916. White Leghorns are considered
the best laying breed and Barred Rocks the best general purpose fowl.
C
IWe bare made arrangements with seven of the largest poultry farms in
Western Ontario to provide us with eggs for hatching at a very reason-
able price, not much higher in price than eggs for market. We recom-
mend all poultry raisers to pay more attention to this department of the
work and take advantage of this offer.
See are preparing a special prize list and also a very interesting dem-
onstration of our work for Wingham Fair and we think that if our plans
work out, a great deal of education can he derived from the demon-
stration that we are preparing. This will include butter, eggs, poultry,
grain and cream. Get one of our prize lists right away and prepare
now for the competition, which will take in our district, west of Owen
Sound. Palmerston, Stratford and north of London. Grain must be
fertilized with some commercial fertilizer. Poultry must be raised in an
incubator of any make. We exnect that this demonstration will be the
most interesting ever put on in Western Ontario.
