"But what's remarkable about this ?" you ask. The amazing fact is that no human ear can distinguish the artist from the instrument; so perfect is the Re -Creation. This is what we call the "tone test". And it proves the truth of the Edison Company's claims about the NEW EDISON "The Phonograph with a Soul" • It proves that the instrument does re-create, not merely imitate. Hundreds of these tone tests have been conducted. More than 2,000,coo people have attended them. And not one could say when it was the artist he heard and when the instrument. With the lights lowered to hide the singer's lips the audience was completely baffled.

TO PUT CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD Continuedfrom page 1 Someone said they would go to sleep until they needed a roan and then would find they were too late. Loud applause. R. G. SELDON Mr. Seldon said if there was any man interested in the farmers' movement he was, as he had considerable business dealings with thele, Mr. Seldon went into the matter of freight rates on the L. H. & B. branch of the Grand Trunk. A committee had been appointed by the Exeter Agricultural Society to see if better train facilities could be secured for the district served by this line. There was no passenger connections at Lucan crossing for going east. Ship- pers on the Bruce Line have to pay a premium because of the lack of inter- switching at the Crossing. Mr. Seldon does considerable shipping and was conversant with facts. The freight rate last year on turnips from Exeter to Chicago was 35c; while from Wood- stock, ten miles further away than Exe- ter it was only 27 c. It costs 3 eAr cents a cwt. more to ship hogs from Exeter to Stratford than it does from Parkhill. It costs $12. to bring a car- load of stuff front Sarnia to. Clande boye than it does from Sarnia ;to Lucan, yet Clandeboye is 2 miles nearer. Num- erous other,instances were cited. Mr. Seldon said they wanted equal rates for equal distances, A petition is Ue- ing circulated through the ditieee..t nius icipalities and will be presented to the Grand Trunk and if there is no action taken will be forwarded to the Railway Commission. One difficulty of a switch at the'Crossing is the elevation of the track, but Mr. Seldon thinks that we will only get equal rates when we get a switch and do away with the long round about haul. JOAN ESSERY Coining back to the matter of a can- didate Mr. John Essery said he had come to listen and to learn. At the organization at Centralia he advised them to moveS fowl There Y. Ti e e are two was interested in the farmers more than anything else and was desirous of seeing them succeed, but he advised them move slowly. There are two ways of getting farmers into politics. One way was to bring out a candidate and the other was to have efficient farmer delegates at the party conven- tions. JOSHUA JOHNS Mr. Johns said' he believed the inde- pendant farmer's candidate could serve the interests of the farmers better.Both parties in the House say they want farmers, but when men go down to parliament they are controlled by party' The ministry adopt the policy of the party and the representative stays with them or is frozen out, It is stated that there are no independent party men. He thinks that to -day there is a great deal. of independent thinking and is satisfied there are many ready to throw aside party politics. The farmer or- ganizations should not Jae allowed to be used by any man or party. FIe was preparedto make a motion that the meeting proceed to place in nomination candidates for both houses. Many think the farmers have no special rights, If there ever was a time to nominate in - dependant men it is to -day. It is our duty to take advantage of the privilege that is ours to secure equal rights, said the speaker. His interest in the farm- ers had led him to divorce politics. Some had expressed surprise that a small representation would undertake to dictate for the riding. The South end of the riding was better organized than in the north and the fanners in the North was only waiting the op- portunity to organize and he felt con- fident they would be in sympathy. Mr. W. D. Sanders said he had a great many letters in his possession asking information re organization and that before the end of March the whole riding would be organized. R. E. PICKARD Mr. R. E. Pickard said that the Sas- katchewan government was composed principally of farmers. At one time the farmers, found themselves in des- perate straits and organized. To -day the Grain Growers of Saskatchewan outline their policy, hand it over to the legislature and the legislature pass it. The. Premier of Ontario ,would possibly like to see a greater repre- sentation of farmers in the House but the body of hangers on do not want to see the farmers in parliament. Mr. Pickard touched on the tariff question and said that it was simply a matter of time before it must be dealt with. He spoke of the tremendous debt that had been incurred by Canada during the years of war and the little pro- vision that had been made to meet it. In the United States the big interests and financiers had been made to cough up and a large percentage of the debt incurred by the war had been provided for. The speaker said he had never seen a farmers' meeting with so much interest and enthusiasm. He did not think the farmers wanted to do in- justic to anyone but we have too many millionaires who are running the coun- try, What is needed is more repre- sentation in p arliament. No commun- ity got more advice from city men and women that the farmers and their wivesduring a the past few years. What the farmers' wives needed was more time to enjoy their priveleges. Millions of dollars in bonds were purchased by the people of Canada and these are now finding their way into the hands of the 'wealthy who pay no tax on them. Unless you have representation, said the speaker, the other fellow will see that you carry the big end of the load. S. J. PYM Mr. S. J. Pym said that after listening to the arguments he was convinced that the time is, ripe to take action whether an election is two or five years off. We are in the lead and should take action, he said. The farm- ers do not want to divide the interests of the town and country and the whole riding should be consulted. People knew where he stood on politics, he wanted them to know, but he had thrown aside politics for the interests of his fellow fanners. He asked Mr. Johns to state his motion and he was prepared to second it and the following motion was made "That this meeting place itself on record as being in favor of placinf farmers' candidates in the field for both Provincial and Dominion Houses. Mr. D McInnis thought the farmers were at *the wrong end. They should have a platform and know what it is. This led to many remarks along the line of the U. F. . platform adopted in Winnipeg and published in many of the farm papers but which apparent- ly had not been read by all. ENOS HERDI1AN Mr. Enos Herdman said he had been talking with a number of the younger men and he believed they were not as intersted in politics; that they were sinking politics, He said politics had degenerated, that the farmers Should bring a man out to stand on principle. If any farmer had not read the policy of the. U. F. O. he was not taking as broad an interest in politics as he should. (Cheers.). ANDREW HICKS Centralia, one of the latest to or- ganize a fanners' club, was well re- presented at the meeting, and Mr, Andrew Hicks as representative of the club; made theni all ,sit an up ' take. ti .• notice, lit made :the: speech of that • END STOMACH TRQUULE, GASES OS DYSPEPSIA "Pape's Diapepsin" makes ,sick,our, gassy stomachs surety feel fine In five minutes, If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, or you belch gab and eructate pour, undigested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth and stomach -head• ache, you can get relief in five minutes ley neutralizing acidity, Put an end to such stomach distress now by getting a large fifty -cent case of Pape's Diapepsin fromany drug store. You realize in flvo minutes how needless it is to suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stom- ach disorder caused by food fermentation due to excessive acid in stomach. ' afternoon and his enthusiasm and ready speech convinced the crowd that he knew what he was talking about, Ile said that the platform of the Eastern Farmers was not identical with tate platform of the Western Farmers. He said that some think the farmers will not stick. Up to the present they have had no reason to. During the past few years farmers have been Thrifty but no profiteers. He spoke of the York Milk Producers' Associa- tion. In 1915 when feed struck the high water mark the farmers of York County organized a Milk Producers Ass'n. and set the price to be paid for milk in Toronto. These farmers, he said, had sons and daughters, bro- thers and sisters in the city and did not want to hold thein up for high prices, but wanted a fair return for their labor. A writ was issued against the leader and in the organization and he appeared in Toronto, After ap- pearing before the Food Controller and going thoroughly into the matter, the writ was withdrawn and the price re- mained. The speaker said that the manufac- turers are to 'Canada what the Kaiser was to Germany and only the farmer could stop him. When Thompson, the Food Controller, let farm tractors into Canada free to help production, within 24 hours after the manufactur- ers were in Ottawa threatening the Prime Minister. The biggest matter affecting Eastern Canada is the live stock industry, said the speaker, Three, if not five, of the abattoirs in Canada are branches of tirms in the' U. S. 'There are three systems in the buying of live stock, said the speaker, the sweat system, the under -ground wire system, and the split shipment system. All of these are used to the advantage of the buyer and against the interests of the pro- ducer. About fifty commodities are controlled by the adattoir concerns and from some of the by-products enormous profits are demanded. her. Hicks told of his experience last December in Toronto. Twenty- seven car -loads of cattle Ianded in To- ronto on a certain day, twenty cars of which were show cattle. The wea- ther was cold and hour after hour the animals remained on the track with apparently no effort to unload then. Mr. Hicks appealed to the Secretary and was told nothing could be done. The animals were suffering and shrink- ing and about four o'clock he called up the Humane Society in the city and in less than an hour a yard engine was on hand to move the stock and the office staff were busy with their coats off. Mr. Nicks said that the farmers' movement in a Grit riding was a Tory dodge and in a Tory . riding it was called aGrit dodge, The only cure e for the farmers' troubles was to stick together. The great silent voice of the farmers had started to speak and Hake no mistake they are honest in their puipose. Before five years are over the political parties will not be ashamed to welcome a U. F. 0. member into Toronto. The governments are advocating back to the land. Farmers sons have been clever enough to see that an easier living could be made in the city and were to be commended on taking advantage of it. This would not be remedied until the farmer gets proper recognition, Ldud cheers rang through the hall as the' speaker took Itis seat. The motion to place candidates in the field was thin carried with only two voting against it. A notion was passed that the Presi- dent and Secretary of the Exeter branch of the U. F. 0. and the Director for the County, Messrs. A. J. Penhale, J, N. Ratcliffe and W. D. Sanders, be a committee to consult with the north- ern part of the Riding to continue the work.
