White, a promin-' ent Windsor woman, who in 1901' was awarded the medal of the Caned- Ian Royal Humane Society for brav-1 ery in saving the lives of four per-' sons in Lake Huron, a few days ago, performed a similar heroic act when , he rescued from a watery grave at Lake Rousseau, Muskoka district,' Mrs. Annit Scott, aged 65, of Hamii- ` ton, and Miss Jessie Richardson, her! nurse. The old lady had fallen off the dock into 25 feet of water, and her nurse although unable to swim, had' leaped in after her patient. Both ! would have gone down but for the arrival of Mr. White, who brought' both to shore in safety.

T. Morgan of Usborne, selected as Liberal, standard-bearer for the riding of South Huron in the coiling provincial election at the Convention of Liberals in Henson on Saturday last- Mr. Morgan's nom- ination was unopposed although several other names were put for - weed but all withdrew in his favor. The names of Miss J. Murray, of Exeter, and Mrs. T..i. Berry of Hen- sall, were put up but they declined to stand. The hall was packed for, the occasion and there was a good' representation of ladies present.The! big gathering was strongly in favor of Mr. Morgan as candidate, but Mr. Morgan was not there seeking the office and it was some time before he was prevailed upon to accept. After a consultation with the Executive he was prevailed upon to enter the field and announced to the audience that he had decided to let them have their way. The names of Hy. Smith, 3. Laporte and Robt, E. Pickard were proposed but all withdrew. The anouncement was received with great enthusiasm and a rousing cheer was given the candidate. The principal speaker at the con- vention was Major C. T. Tolmie, M. P.P., who told the convention they never had a better time to carry the Liberal standard to victory. Now was the opportunity. Mr. Tolmie could see little difference between the farmer's platform and the Lib- eral platform. There was tremend- ous unrest in the country. If the government had helped the farmers as much as it should have there would not have been such an organ- ization as the United Farmers of Ontario. He thought it was a mis- take for one class to seek power over all other classes,. but that ev- eryone should work together for the. good of the province. He admired the independence of the farmer but thought the country was dependent on the town and at the same time the town was dependant on the 1 country. Major Tolmie voiced a protest a- gainst Premier Hearst's failure to give the people of the province the date upon which the elections are to be held. The premier had pleaded for fair play and yet had kept the province in an uproar in refusing to divulge the date of the election. The speaker said the Liberals had been fighting for the abolition of the 1 bar for years and that the Conserva- tives had not put through the Ont pario• Temperance Act until forced to. Mr. Hardy Dewart, the Liberal leader has said ,that he stands firmly on the party platform. He thought I the government had not been gener- uos enough with the returned men. He stood for the equality of disabled men whether one was an officer or not. He expressed the opinion that soldiers should not be offered land in some isolated part of the province If he had his way the million dollar Government House at Toronto would be turned into a hospital for crip- pled soldiers. Mr. 3. D. McGregor, a practical farmer of Halton County, also spoke, He scored the government on not giving the date of the forthcoming election. He believed the govern- ment was partly to blame for the great decrease in population on the farms. The farms were being deser- ted and thousands of acres were be- ing seeded out each year. Little or no results had been obtained in se- curing labor when production was strongly urged. Last year when the fall wheat was a failure and the farmers were urged to sow springe wheat the government wheat arriv- ed too late to sow and had to b ground into flour at a loss. 1 HURONDALE SCHOOL FAIR Come to the School Fair at S.

WHITING -NESTLE A pretty wedding took place on ANDREW HICKS, CAl► D DATE The United Farmers of South Hu- ron in convention at Neilsen on Monday afternoon selected Mr. An- drew Hicks, of Centralia, to be their standard bearer in the forthcoming provincial election. The hall was packed for the occasion, there being a good representation. of ladies. W. D. Sanders, district director of the U.F.O. was chairman, Mr. Sanders in opening the con- vention said that the farmers had not gathered for any selfish motive but that the farmer's platform. was in the interest of ail who toiled with their hands. There opponents were few, in number but had a mighty power behind them. There have been multi -millionaires made in this Young country but what have you made by being a grit or a tory ask- ed the speaker, He said it was an ig- norant thing to stand by party poli- tics. Panty politics was doing for Canada what kaiserism had done for Germany. There is a great future for Canada if started right. The in- terests of the towns and country were the same and where the coun- try prospered tate towns prospered. He said the farmers lead gathered in -1 dependant of party politics and were.going to select an independent candidate. Mrs. Glenn, President of the Perth U.F.W.O., was called on to give an impromptu address representing the women. She said that she believed that women should take a stand a- gainst party politics. She thought the women were needed just as much in the political field as they were to share the toil on the farm. A representative should be one of action 'rather than an orator. She scored O'Connor for the action he had taken in refusing au advance in the price of milk. Mrs, Glenn is a practical farmer who had been con- gratulated on her cream checks which were among the largest paid out by the Exeter or Winchelsea creameries. After deducting the cost. of feed, depreciation, etc., there was not 5 per cent interest on her in- vestment. Mr. Harold Currie of Strathroy was the principal speaker of the af- ternoon. He said it was the personi- (continued on page 5.
