He attended school at Thames Road. The London Adver- tiser on Saturday published a num- ber of interesting interviews with reeidents in this community and from it no take the following: Premier Gardiner, avers Mr. Wil - in Turnbull, Exeter insurance agent,. speaking the voice of the neumunity, is a credit to lesborne rend perhape to Hibbert township to, because his folks were pioneers of both these adjoining municipal- ittee. He has gone up the ladder in juet the way everyoe.e•is glad to see him go. "And," adds Mr. Turnbull, "I will eay for Jim that he was a good eoy, a sensible boy, and he has made ceete'y step of his way up the ladder • ii II his Bible in his hand. I was teecher of the young men's class of the Thames Road "United (formerly Peesbyterian) church and we were always. glad to see him on his visits baek home." Had Light -Hearted Side But there was also the light- hearted side of Premier Jimmy Gar- &hien and just around the corner from that, the enterprising resource- ful stock of the Canadian pioneers. Jimmy shook a wicked shia before • the Charleston was heard about. Perhaps it would be no surprise if he does a Charleston now. In any event it seems certain that he could If he wanted to. "Jim. worked for me twenty-five • years ago, when. he was just a boy," Thomas Hunkin, a farmer living six miles out from Exeter on the Thames Road district told the Ad- vertiser when asked about Jimmy Gardin.er's amusements in his youug days. ."He liked to dance, and he sure • could dance," said Mr. Hun.kin. theatrical. entertainments for him to get into then, but around the hous- es of the neighborhood he liked to &nee, especially the sailor's horn- pipe. Of course he should have been able to do it. It came natural to bim. Both his mother and father were among the best and most graceful dancers around here. Jim- my could dance- any step if he only saw it once. Not a Lazy Inch "He was a hard-working, indus- trious, energetic boy. Not a laza- inch in him. He liked work, but he liked play too. The thing that stands out in my mind about him was that he was a jolly boy, jolly with me too, although I was years older than he. "Did I ever have to give him a, cuff on the ear? Of course not. Jimmy was all right. He was quite a baseball player then, and a good football player too. His home was - about a naile away and he used to go home a lot to see his mother. He. was always a scholar and read a lot, but in those days I never noticed that he paid much attention to poli- tics." Premier Gardinees adventurous determination showed through in another aspect recalled by Mr. Turnbull. After working for twelve or fif- teen dollars a month for William Moody and Mr. Ilunkin he conclud- ed that more favorable opportuni- ties might present themselves in the Canadian West, which was then be- ginning to boom. He liked his sur- roundings, but he .did not want to be a farmer's helper while the valu- able days of his youth were passing. With just a part of leis summer's earnings he struck out for the west to make his home with his uncle in Clearwater, Man. Not Mat Tourney He He had made such a journey as a child of seven years when his Pare euts and the 'family had tried the ex- periment of settling in the Ameri- can West. Premier Gardiner's father from whom he takes the name of James, had gone with his brother William first to Clearwater. There the preznier's uncle remained, but James C, Gardiner and his farailY moved on to the state of Iowa. They did not like conditions there and moved thence to Lincoln, Neb. The prettier, who had commenced his primary sehool work at the Thames Road public Scheel near Farquhar, was advanced a further stage dur- ing a five or six years residence in Lincoln. Then the family returned to the Exeter district convinced that there was more glamor than realty in the American. West. • The old homestead had berm sold, find ac- cottling to the general- belief in the Thames 'Road district the fortunee of the faxen)* had not been bettered by the years Spent under the Stars and Stripes.

Career as Teacher "Yes," she told the Adveetiser, "he systematically went about throe& the west as a school teach- er in the summer months. There, you know, the schools are closed a good deal in winter and for that reason they are open in the summer. iti hie college holidays he used to go teaching. •He spent •different periods teaching in Wolseley, Wey- bunt and other places, and finally he became a high school teacher at Limberg, Sask. "While he was at Manitoba col- lege he won a reputation as a de- bater. In one competition he won a silver cup entbleinatic of the col- lege championship, and later he won a gold medal in competition with seven colleges. His subject had to do with wheat -growing. I am not certain whether it had any political flavor, but it probably had." Premier Gardiner's father and brothers hold a prominent place in the affectionate regard of the people of the Thames Road district. They came into the country the bet- ter part of a century ago and hewed from the forest some of the finest farms in the township of Usborne and Hibbert. Very few of the early settlers were on the land before them and not a few followed out from Glasgow to form the Scotch community that has since provided so many study Canadians.His grand- parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robt Gardin- er, long since dead, were married in Scotland, but their children were all born near Farquhar. The prem- ier breeds back also in his interest in public affaire. His grandfather was prominent in all of the activi- ties of Huron county, and for years a councillor. He was one of the in- fluential leaders of Liberalism in the district in the early days. In a busi- ness way, also, he evinced a capacity for leadership. Robert Gardiner, so The Advertis- er was informed by Mr. Turnbull, organized and for years was presi- dent of the Ilsborne a • d enberrt lea ua r nsurance Company, which still serves the district. He also operated one of the largest cheese factories in the district. TameseC. Gardiner, the premier's father, also has been a man of in- fluence in the district, and one whose misfortunes are the occasion of regret. He is described as a man with a constitution of steel -else he could not so long have survived a condi- tion which has kept him for the past two years as a patient at Vic- toria hospital in London. Mr. Gar- diner many years ago was kicked by a horse. At the time the injudy seemed to have been cured, but it has developed a wound of the grav- est character requiring constant hospital attention. His wife, lives with their daughter, Mrs. Alien at Kirkton. Four Other Sons Besides this daughter and Premier Gardiner- they had four other sons, all born in the Thames Road dis- trict. During the great war all four enlisted. Earl from Kirkton, with the 58th Battalion to die a hero's death at Lens; Edwin at Winnipeg with the 122nd Battalion, to share the fate of his brother in a charge at Passehendale; William at Lou- don with the 33rd Battalion in the spring of 1915, to have his hip shat- tered in the August preceeding the armistice, after years of gruelling service in France and Flanders; and Robert with the 58th, to sustain shellshock so severe that he is still under treatment at Westminister military hospital at London. Wil- liam has striven repeatedly to re- store himself to a condition fitting for some activity, but recently he was compelled again to go into the military hospital at Prince Albert, Sask. Premier Gardiner's political ac- tivities have during the past few years necessitated frequent visits to Ottawa. He usually avails himself of these trips to spend a brief so- journ with his relatives and 'old friends in the Thames Road dis- triet. He was here last June and again at Christmas, .and on both 00- 0 1. course, visited ',with his father at the hospital at London.

Dow has been shipping on the average a load of horses every ten days. During the past year he has shipped around 800 horses aver- aging $125 to $150 and has paid out over $100,000 to the farmers. Mr. Dow claims that more horses have left Exeter station in the past few years than any ether 'station in Ontario. He ships a large num- ber of horses to the Dominion Tran- sport Co. This firm showed thir- teen horses at the Guelph Winter Fair, twelve of which, were ship- ped from Exeter. Three of the animals were also shown at Chicago and carried off ribbons.

Like public officials, what it says and does are constant- ly before the public and its errors are easily detected. An individual may go through life making mietake after mistake and few Will know it, but let your newspaper err in even a small detail, and the critics ha,ve a choice morsel to chew. Newspapers are human, and are as liable to err as any man or wo- man and their • opportunities for making mistakes may be found in every every word. A wrong 'address, incorrect spelling of names, little inaccuracies may creep into the coliniand no matter how ernestly the editor and assistants may strive tic be accurate. All we ask IS ,that you be charit- able. ' li/fake a few .allowances for the difficulties that beset the editor, andremember always, that nothing hurts an editor quite so much as to see his mistakes in print. He has no chance to cover them up -the printed word can't be erased. Don't forget that newspapers are made by human hands and, to err is human. -Echange.

If we are to preserve the national heritage which we have received from the hands of others and to pass it on to generations yet unborn, we must defend with our very lives the sancity of the family tie and en- throne our mother to reign as queen over the undivided empire of the home. But we ought to think, not only of our mothers and the mothers of the past, who have wrought mightily in shaping the life of the present but also of the mothers of to -morrow, .who are to crown the coming generation with strength and power • to be the molders of the future yet to be. When Napoleon felt that the power of France was waning and that the structure of her civilizatipn was crumbling said, "The old system of education is Worth nothing, what do we need to educate our people properly." The latfy replied, "Mothers." The an- swer struck him most forcibly. "Yes," he replied, "There IS a sys- tem of education in one word." , All women are not, good; all Mothers are not the best. There are many influence e operating in the present which not' only tend to un- dermine the sancity of the home but which also tend to unfit the young life of -today for the motherhood of tomorrow . There is the drift to- ward the industrial field, which has swept thousands of the young girls intO factory life Where the environ- inent it not the best and condition under which they work as Well as the burden of their toils tend' to im- pair their physical and moral well: - being.

To the woinanhood of the race has been given the Mall - eat rnistion width, VO'hen fulfilled is The testimony of great men in acknowledgement of the boundless debt they owe to their mothers would mike a record stretching from`the dawn of history to to -day. Few men indeed become great who do not OWO their greatness to a mother's love and inspiration. The bravest of battles that ever was fought Shall I tell you where and when? On the map of the world you'll find It not, I'was fought by the mothers of men. • Squirrels store up food against the day that it will be needed and so do other animals but the human often lacks this very necessary sense of self preservation. We note that in two hundred and seventy-seven homes, taken consecutively by the investigators of the House of In.- dustry, Toronto, the occupants of which had asked for relief in the way of food and fuel, the following luxuris were found; 38 pianos, 5 or- gans, 88 gramophones, 47 telephones and 6 motor cars. This makes a grand total of one hundred and eighty four expensive luxuries con- tained in the homes of as many families going on a begging expedi- tion in order to keep their stomachs full and gieir feet warm. It may be that most of these things were bought on "time" and are not fully paid for. If so, so much the worse. as for the telephone, this is certain- ly a great compliment to the Bell Company inasmuch as forty-seven of these dependent families deem a telephone necessary, and it must be paid for, in advance.
