White in his budget atatement Canadian exports to the United States increased from $112,000,- 000 in 1911 to $1.61,000,000 in 1013 14 In the same period imports from the United States increased from $274,000 to $361,000. The aggregate trade be - between the countriee was $386,009.000 in 1911 when the Laurier Government went out of pawer. Last year, despite the continued tariff restrictions, it reached $523,000,000. Canada is the second greatest customer of the United States to -day, Great Britain being the first. The United States is Canada's fifth best customer. Canada's trade with the United States is stiil growing much mare rapidly than with Great Britain or with any other country in the world. Trade is following its nat- ural channels despite the existence of the tariff bars to freer and more profit- able exchange. Yet the "annexation" danger which the Conservatives so greatly feared in 1911 is not even thought of now and there is no suggestion from the great "imperialistic party that the British preference should be increased in order to counteract. this "danger of increasing trade with the United States. A branch of the Hydro -Radial Union a Ontario was organized on Satur.'ay at Collin sswood. ••••••••..••••••*•••••••••••• OWOMII.M.0.0"11*11./..r..• 111..119141•01911 DAIRY VALUE.

Mr. Harvey McGowan and children left for their home a.t Kelfiel 1, t.'aisk eta an extended vi -it at the home of her 7ather, George Henderson, 3rd line. Mr. McGowan had preceded her a few weeks previous with a car of stock and o!lier effects. A. highly esteemed resident of the lst line passed away on Wednesday of lust week in the person of Miss Kate Camp- bell, iifter an illness extending over several months. The deceasee lady was in her 66th year and was a sister of Messrs. D. II. and Arch. Campbell. She had made her home with her, broth- er, Mr. Arch Campbell, for some time. Miss Campbell had very many friends who Nell rgret to hear of her death. The funeral took placa on Friday after- noon last to the Wingham cemetery. An event of interest took place at the home of Henry and Mrs. Sellers, 3rd line Morris, on Wednesday, April 8th, when their youngest daught- er, Ethel, was united in marriage to Geo. Bone, alsoof the 3rd line. Promptly at 3 o'clock the wedding party entered the parlor to the strains of the Wedding March played by Mrs. Cooke. Rev. J. E. Cooke, of Bluevale, performed the ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her father, was daintily attired in a dress of Alice blue brocaded moUs- seline with trimmings of shadow lace and crystal banding. She carried a shower boquet of white carnations. After congratulations the guests, num- bering about 40 repaired to the dining room where a tastefully arranged sup- per was served. Mr. and Mrs. Bone received many beautiful and useful pres- ents testifying to their popularity among their friends. They will reside on the 3rd line at present. Groom's gift to the organist was a set of cut glass salt and pepper shakers with ster- ling silver tops. At his home, 8th line, Morris township, Saturday, April 11th, the summons to which none can say Nay came to George Jackson, an old and worthy,resident, and peacefully he responded. Hewes the eldest of 6 sons of the late John Jackson, who died ever 30 years ago, and was born in York- shire, England, coming to Canada, with his parents, when about 4 years of age. The family lived near Elmira, Water- loo Co., for 6 years and then took up 200 acres of bush land, Lots 18 and 19, South half Con. 8, Morris township, where many a strenuous day was put in converting the farms into tillable land. About 42 years ago deceased bought the 100 acre farm of John Mor - ran, being North X. Lot 18, Con. 9 and shortly after married Miss Jane Laid- law, of Tuckersmith, and brought his bride to the newly acquired property. Here they lived, labored 'and prospered until the subject of this notice was call- ed away to a better place than the best earthly home Three children were born to them but all died in their in- fancy. In addition to farming opera- tions Mr. Jackson following framing and carpentering and many of the houses and barns in Morris stand to -day as symbols of work well done. For long years deceased was an official member of the Methodist church and did much by word and deed to further the in- terests of the Jackson church. Several terms Mr. Jackson sat at the Municipal Board as Councillor and rendered faith- ful service. He was a man of sterling character; ever ready to lend a helping hand; his judgment was rarely at fault; a thoughtful husband; an A 1 neighbor and honorable in his dealings. His life might be safely' copied by many a youth. As applied to the dairy herd, how does this work out? A farmer does not necessarily buy a cow because the price is low, he wants quality; in this case quality may be interpreted to mean dairy capacity, or ability to produce plenty of good milk. If 'ie does not purchase, possibly the heifer coming in- to milk has been raised at rather too high a cost so that her dairy quality is i npaired. She may not be of the right stoak, that is, from a dam of deep milking qualities ainga.sire of known ability, and all may have suffered from lack of the right feed. The other part of the value side of every dairy cow, that is, what you get from her, is right in the dairyman's own hands. He can easily determine each cow's value, or dairy quality, by keeping individual records of production. Then if he wishes to part with a good cow, her selling price is enhanced by reason of that certificate of value, her record, which helps to fix the price. Right buying is true economy; the fact- ory patron with the highest conception of value will buy, or raise, right, and will know, by his own simple records that each cow in the herd separately, not averaged in a lump, fits his ideal of value. Fix a good standard, make each cow pay. Milk and feed record forms are supplied free by the Dairy Commis- sioner, Ottawa. HURON'S POPULATION DECREASING A Gradual Decrease Each Year Since 1908. — For some weeks County Clerk Lane has been trying to get from the various Municipal assessors of the County their figures for the population of 1913, that he might complete a return he has to make to the Ontario Governmeet. He has succeeded in each case (and some of them with much trouble) except the township of Colborne, though he says he has made three requests in several cases. The figures are given below, including, for comparison the figures for each year since 1908 to 1913, and the gradual decrease in population in almost every municipality is good food for thought. The figgures speak sor themselves. 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1918 TowNSMPs— Ashfield 2710 268.8 2683 2670 2649 3542 Colborne 1527 1452 1472 1490 1486 Goderich 1957 1956 1918 1776 18U 1444.50 Grey ...... 3066 3004 2848 3777 26 Hullet 5475 2450 2432 2392 2259 2288 Hay' 3140 3154 3071 2960 2382 2739 Howl& 3600 3602 3565 3517 3207 3298 Morris 2210 2170 2225 2101 2122 2129 McKillop 2303 2234 2193 2168 2174 2091 Stanley. 1829 1788 1785 1791 1758 1672 Stephen 3650 8583 3508 3555 3270 3313 Turnberry. 1808 1805 1655 MO 1633 1607 Tuckersmith2109 2123 2196 2061 2053 1937 Usberne.. . 1975 1903 1850 1848 1865 1863 Wawanosh, E16413 1619 1669 1530 1541 1497 WaWartosh.

ORDER TO -DAY AND BE SURE IT IS CARLING'S. The Carling Brewing and Malting Co. LONDON, ONTARIO LIMITED NERVOUS DISEASES IN THE SPRING. Cured by Toning the Blood and Strength- ening the Nerves. It is the opinion of the best medical authorities, after long observation, that nervous diseases are more common and more serious in the spring than at any other time of the year. Vital changes in the system, afterlong winter months, may cause much more trouble than the fatniliar spring weakness and weariness from which most people suffer as the result of indoor life, in poorly ventilated and often overheated buildings. Official records prove that in April and May neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy and other forms of nerve troubles are at their worst, and that then, more than any other time, a blood -making, nerve - restoring tonic is needed. The antiquated custom of taking pur- gatives in the spring is useless, for the system really needs strengthening, while purgatives only gallop through the bowels, leaving you weaker. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medi- cine, for they actually make the new, rich, red blood that feeds the starved nerves, and thus cure the many forms of nervous disorders. Theylcure also such other forms of spring troubles as headaches, poor appetite, weakness in the limbs, as well as remove unsightly pimples and eruptions. In fact they unfailingly bring new health and strength to weak, tired and depressed men, women and children. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 82.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. B miss ELS. A. R. Currie, John street, purchased the old frame house adjoining his prop- erty and is removing it. It will mean qtite an improvement to Mr. Currie's home, both as to appearance and free- dom from danger from fire. The many old freinds of Mrs. Thos. Moore. of Stratford, formerly of Brus- sels, will be sorry to hear that she had the misfortune to break one of her arms in two places. We wish her a speedy recovery and the restoration of the arcn as good as ever. Owing to a sort of nervous collapse the Dr. has ordered Athol McQuarrie to desist from his studies and seek occupation in the open air. He will spend the summer near Goderich on a fruit and pooltry farm and his many ; friends here trust he will soon be as well as ever. !
