"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. markably smart and devotes consider- able time to knitting for the soldiers and members of her own family. Frank Bryans is home from Scotland, Ont., where he has been teaching and Robt. Bryans from Gerson, Ont., where he was doing sitnilar work is also here Both are sons of Wm. and Mrs, Bryans. An old resident of Morris township. 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.

Mr. Chapman was a life long Presby. terian, and a Conservative in politics, and a kind and even disnositioned 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, Scott & Bowne, Toronto, Oat. of the'human body.
