AGRICULTURE AND LAND SETTLE-
MENT.
"According to the United States Im-
migration authorities, Canada lost 500,-
000 citizens during the fiscal year of
1914.15," declared Hon. J, A. Calder,
of Saskatchewan, in Montreal recently.
He arraigned the Dominion Govern-
ment for its policy of "do-nothing."
This policy of '•dn-nothing" is even
more prevalent in the Ontario Govern-
ment. The Ontario Department of
Agriculture is on its last legs. Ex-
pressions of dissatisfaction are arising
from all sides, and the Department is
recognized as a source of weakness to
the Government,
In a speech made during the Agri-
cultural Debate in the Ontario House
last session, Mt. Nelson Parliament,
Liberal M. P. P. for Prince Edward
County, urged the Government to en-
deavor to stop the trend cityward of
our agricultural population. His plea
was met with the sarcastic remark
from certain members on the Govern-
ment side that "this was an annual
affair." Mr. Parliament quietly, but
emphatically replied, "as long as I have
the honor to represent a constituency
in this province, unless something more
is done by the Departments of Education
and Agriculture, this will be an annual
affair."
The Ontario Government seems to be-
lieve in the policy of "leave well alone"
in agricultural affairs; but that all is
not well was emphasized by Mr. Parlia-
ment, who went exhaustively into the
question of the trend cityward of our
rural population and stated that the
boys of sixteen and seventeen are in-
valuable on the farm. He referred to
the progress of education in Denmark,
and pointrd out that attention to agri-
culture had secured 61 of the popu-
lation on the land.
Mr. Parliament went on to advocate
the inauguration of a system of agri-
cultural education in rural schools. He
said, "I believe that the proper kind of
schools in our rural communities, with
a demonstration farm and an agricultural
college situated thereon, with a winter
term, would so broaden the minds of
our rural children and fit them for their
riven' work, that the outlay need not be
considered.
He appealed for both parties to unite
in accomplishing something for agri-
culture. His appeal met with no re-
sponse from the Government: and dis-
saticfaction with the present Govern-
ment is growing to resentment in rural
Ontario on account of their repeated
failures to meet the situation,
GRAND TRUNK AND THE PATRI-
OTIC FUND
The one day's pay contribution to the
Patriotic Fund by the Grand Trunk em-
ployees for May came to over 820,00 1.
At the commencement of the year
8135,000 had been contributed, and
during this year four days' pay will in
all:be contributed by the employees. The
company itself is contributing 810,000
per month to the fund, and has, from
the inception of the war, contributed,
in wages and other ways over $1.0(01-
000 to the objects connected with the
world's struggle.
The company, too, has parted with
over 2,00o of its employees—not urging
them forward, but, at the same time,
being always willing to be inconven-
ienced by the depletion of its office and
outside staff, carrying on the work
through doubling duties, when that was
possible, and taking on others when
that w,as necessary—the others being in
many cases girls, to take the places of
the men who had gone to the front.
The company had suffered much incon-
venience from the loss of its regular
staff; but it has maintained a patriotic
stand from the beginning—Mr. Smithers
stating at the recent annual meeting
in London, amid applause, that it was
the duty of corporations, like the
Crand Trunk to do their part in sus-
taining the struggle for civilization
against barbarism.

in the person of Thos. Garniss, 3rd line,
had the misfortune to fall and broke
his right hip. He is now at the home
of his son-in-law, Fred Brewer, where
he is being well cared for. Mr. Garniss
is about 85 years of age, hence is not
very well able to combat such an
accident but is good stuff. We hope
he will soon be in a fair way to recovery.
CUL.ROSS.
A meeting of the Culross Council was
held in Formosa on July 25th, 1916, as
a Court of Revision. Some complaint
had been made with regard to the
Assessment for the electric lights in
the village of Formosa. The Reeve
was appointed Chairman of the Court.
The appeals were then laid before
the Cburt.
Moved by Wm. Case, seed. by Thos.
McPherson, that as all appeals have
been heard and duly considered by the
Court that the following changes bt
made in the Assessment of the Culross
portion of the Formosa street lighting.
Anthhony Schnurr to be reduced $200
and that Harry Fedy be assessed 100
and that Jos Kramer be raised 50
and Jos. Fedy be raised 50
and that the balance of the assessment
be sustained,—Carried.
Moved by Donaldson and Armstrong,
that this Court of Revision do now
close.—Carried.

gentleman.
WHY_YOU ARE NERVOUS!
The nervous system is the alarm system
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected, •
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervou -nese, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you;take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve -cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh-
ing tonic force. 1?ree from harmful drugs,
