KITCHE7LL LAP IS CRUSHED
BY TEN -TON ROLLER
Crushed to death by a 10 -ton road
roller as he played on St. George St.
about 4 o'clock Friday afternoon
Wats the terrible fate which overtook
the little four-year-old Son of Mrs,
John Ratz, Jr., of Mitchell. The
fatality has shocked; the community
and ,the mother was prostrated from
grief.
The little Ratz boy, with two
other children: about his own age,
had been playing on the street,
where the town road roller was at
Work, andthey had been watching
the machine as it moved'' abouton a
Section of St. George street Which is
being • rebuilt. The engineer of the
roller, Ezra Robinson, did not no-
tice the little fellow, who evidently
had got close to the massive roller
and stumbled and fell in front of it.
The roller . passed over his head,
crushing it flat. Coroner Dr. Arm
Strong was notified and on viewing
the remains ordered removal to
Boyd's 'undertaking parlors.
The mother, who is a widow, col-
lapsed upon being informed of the
accident and was reported to be in
a serious condition. Ezra Robin-
son; engineer of the road roller, is
also prostrated.
Besides the mother two young sis-
ters survive. The father died :rev-
eral years ago.

The Late Elizabeth Jane Down

"Blessed in the sight of the Lord,
is the death of His .saints," are sac-
red words with a peculiar fitness in
relation. to the happy andpeaceful
home -gong of the subject of .this
>nemoir.

born in the village of Welcome on.
March 20th,- 1861. She removed
with her parents to Exeter, when
she was but a child. She was sound-
ly''.�oonverted to God while in her
teal• and in a reception service on
Good Friday afternoon, 1879, she
was received as a member of James
Stet Methodist. Church to which
sh belonged and in which she serv-
ed faithfully for a number of years.
On July 29th, 1885, she was unit
ed in marriage with Rev. J. Wesley
Down, a member of the Bay of
Quinte Conference, the ceremony
being performed by the Rev. W, S.
Pascoe, D.D., who is now in his 93rd

and loved, she cared and served for
others on thirteen different fields -of
labor, beginning at Cloyne and end-
ing at Tyrone.
On August 10, 1924, she under-
went a major operation in- Bowman-
ville General 'Hospital, at which time
the specialist, Dr. Roscoe R. Gra-
ham of Toronto, pronounced her case
hopeless. • For thirteen testing
months she lingered and slowly fad-
ed away, like a lovely flower, smit-
ten by some untimely blast.
This now sainted sister was a true
and devoted wife, a loving and faith-
ful mother, a sincere and noble
friend, a zealous • and cultured
Christian; • and. -above all, •a ;:brave'
and patient sufferer. • On ,Sept. 9,
1925, right in the midst of the gold-
en autumn, when the ripe fruit was
being gathered in, the Reaper camp

conducted by Rev. J. U. Robins,
Chairman of Bowmanville District,
assisted ,'by four of the ministers,
eighteen of whom were present. The
memorial service was held in Tyrone
'United Church and was very largely
attended ?by kind and sympathetic
frien O1n far and near.
The nI offerings.were 'numer-
ous and beautiful,' expressing; respect
and : sympathy in a language more
potent than *Fords.
The interment took place at River
View cemetery, Napanee, and wail
onducted by Rev. A. J. Terrill, B.
S.D., assisted by Rev D. W. Har-
risou and Rev. *Tames. •Batstono, six

ed and labored in other days.

The Unfair Deal
Canadian Farmers are Getting
Back in 1921 we sold .the United States agricultural
products to the value of $146,539,883. After the Fordney
U.S. Tariff of 1922 went into effect in the United States we
sold them only $51,337,733 worth.
By raising their tariffs the United States farmers have put
about $100,000,000 per annum more into their pockets and
the. Canadial farmers have lost it.
What is the lesson to the Canadian farmer?
On what terns is the Canadian farmer competing with
the farmerof the United States? They are terms that not
only, forbid the sale of his products in the United States
but compel him atthe same time to witness United States
farm, productsreplacinghis own in the home markets of
Canada.' Let tie examine some of these terms.

The United States raisers their tariff, in order toprotect
the Annerican Farmers, and the purchasing of foreign farm
products was reduced. It was, therefore, to the American
Farmer's benefit
And we prove it. In the next column we ' list a few
Canadian products imported by the United , States under
the 1921 tariff and under the raised tariff of . September
'21st, 1922. Thecae figures are" quoted from the "Com-
rnercial Intelligence Journal" published by Ottawa
Government (26th September; 192.5, page 324).

Canada will be flooded with farmproducts from other countries at these low
ratet, but Canadian farm products are shut out of other countries by high tariffs.
Meanwhjle half a million Canadians have moved to the United States because of
the tariff reductions that have closed up or slowed down hundreds of factories.
That is, half a million buyers of Canadian farm products have been lost. The far.
risers are hit twice.
