A mother rocks her baby boy, Her heart with love o'erflows Sbe dreams the while of future joy When he to manhood grown. But all too soon the years speed by, The tempter comes his way ! '0 Rave my boy,' the mother cries, 'From rum'a most cruel sway.' Whenever you happen to meet A man with staggering feet, To him be kind, and bear in mind Sonre mother's boy is he; 13e once was her pride and joy. So fight the foe that brought him so • low And made him a wandering boy. The mother sits with sorrow hent And dreams of years now gone, When he so pure and innocent, Made sunshine in the home. Her fondest hopes of bygone years The wine cup has destroyed, And taken from her all life held dear Her precious only boy. We cannot sit with idle hand And let this monster rum Keep up his slaughter in our land; We must protect the home. 0, brothers, not a moment waste, But fight this giant foe. And cast your votes with mothers' prayers - This licensed fiend o'erthrow. -Mich. Christian Advocate Colt With Three Legs. Mr. V. N. Diehl, of Stanley town- ship, has a mare, which, on Thursday last, gave birth to quite a curiosity in the shape of a three legged colt. The n;gh front leg is missing there being just the shoulder blade where one would naturally expect to fine the second front leg. In every other par- ticular the colt was perfectly formed and does notshow sh w a scar ofanykind. knd. A three legged colt may be all right as a curiosity, but we fear it would not be of much' service in getting in the crop. Be Careful What You Sign. People cannot be too careful wbat papers they sign for travelling agents. Some have been known to be liable for a note of a $1,000 or more in sign- ing what was represented to be an o der for a certain article on trial r,nly; others lost a farm on the ever- green tree, seed wheat and lightning rod plans. So when an agent comes around and asks you to sign an order, stating it is merely a form, to release the shipping bill, or some other sub- terfuge, decide you are from Missouri and "want to know." If you don't, you may have a piano or some other article landed in your house, on ap- proval of course, and then discover the agent has a written order for the complete purchase of it by you, over your signature. To Fight Local Option, .At meeting of the Owen Sound council recently, Aid. R. Walden Thompson set the anti -local option ball rolling, when he put a motion that a by-law be introduced to repeal the local option by-law now in force, This being the third year since the last vote on the question when local option was sustained, a determined fight will be made to have the by-law repealed. NATURE STOPS When The Kidneys Give Out. Do you feel that you simply can't go any farther -that you must have lest for that lame and aching back - relief from that constant dead -tired feeling, freedom from those stabbing, darting pains. It is nature's warning that the kidneys are giving out and you need the help of Booth's Kidney Pill s, the guaranteed kidney remedy. In every ma- chine there is one part that works the hardest and gives out first. The kidneys work night and day, and naturally a life of unusual activity doubles the duties of the kidneys and in time the strain tells. The kidneys give out and nature cries "stop." Booth's Pills are sold by all dealers, 50e, postpaid from The R. T. Booth Co , Ltd. Fort Erie, Ont. There is no pill just as good. Send for a free box. The test will prove the truth of our statement. PROTECT YOUR FARM MACHINERY! Farm machinery is often sadly neglected when not in use. It is not uncommon to sce binders, cu!- tivators, grain drills, plows, etc., left out all winter in the field where they were last used or in the barn- yard. Here they are exposed to the sun, rain and snow. The, de- preciaticn from such exposure is more thanahe wear caused by use. Keep Strings•Out of Ensilage. Have a man stand beside the febd table of the ensilage cutter and cut every band and jerk the string away, Those strings cut up in short lengths and carried into the silo are not good for stock. A man not long ago Lost four cows that were fed on .ensilage, and the cut strings diel the business They are cut so tine and mixed so thor- oughly that stock must eat them. Thr time of one man' to do this would prob- ably be well spent. -Iowa Homestead Why i AmA Canadian sy ARTHUR HAWKED 1 Did it aver occur to you that there are two classes of Canadians? -those wito couldn't help being Canadians and those who could. I would be very proud to belong to the couldn't -help - it class, Ilut I belong to the other, and 1 would like to tell you wby. I am a curiosity^ In patriotism. There are tens of thousands like me, most of them unrecognized, I want to fled them so that they may be encour- aged to find themselves, Patriotism? Tee, sir, Patriotism is "Home Sweet Home" on a grand scale. Listen;- "Breathesdead there a ntan with soul se Who never to himself hath said: This is my own, my native land!" Listen again: - The centurion told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thOu Joest, for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came and said unto him Tell me, are thou a Ito man? Ho said I ata. And tho chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this free BOR- dom. N.And Paul said, BTJT I WAS FREE There is a glory of the native born- tho thrill that passes through your heart and down your spine when the sacramental element of your nativity makes its subtle, compelling appeal lib your mind. I know what it is; but not in Canada. If you have it, cherish it; be exceeding glad when It conies to you. Pass it on. To us who enjoy only the bless- ing of adoption, who have given our native land a second place in our affections, is there even a glory for us in Canada? Can you -the native born --tell what it is? You can't, because you haven't had our experience. We need not envy you, the native born; you need not envy -us, the Bri- tish-born. Wo are meet for one an- other, to conspire to make Canada as great In reputation as she is great in extent. And so it becomes you to in- quire . why I am a Canadian, and to think well upon my two answers. One. -Because you asked me to be a Canadian. I hope to be quite humble in ex- panding this answer, because- I've had worthy people come to me and say, "We have found that British people are not welcomed here," and because I want to speak the truth in love. Personally I have never felt the slight- est sense of not being welcome in Canada. Many years ago I moved from the South to the North of England, and I felt ever so much more a stran- ger norti of the Trent than I have ever felt north of the St. Lawrence. Very thankfully I testify that never since I landed at Quebec, twenty-six Years ago, have I said a word against conditions in Canada. Never a word has beep. said to me personally that I could resent. But there are. others. '. I know a man who has become as: keen a Canadian as I have, who, with; his wife, began life in Ontario on a• farm. They are' good people, who do' good to others and who are already? better off than they ever hoped to be` in England. They left the farm be- cause they were continually subjected to nagging about their nationality, For the sins of others they were called "chirpers" and other names. You asked us to come. The Govern' mentto 1 s spent' millions and millions of dollars in inducing British -born people to forsake friends and homes and traditions and places consecrated by sacred dust, and help to build up Canada. The Dominion has become prosperous because the immigrant, the chirper, as well as the capitalist, has arrived. Never forget, brother, t14. he «'is besought to come by you, through such people as Lord Strath - cone and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. These great men have looked for assets for Canada; for an impetus to your pros- perity. Be gentle in your attitude to the people wlto come from the same land that your ancestors came from. Let patience have her perfect work in you, in them. Ask yourself how you would get along if you were dumped into a Yorkshire manufacturing town and sent to work In a mill, and ex- pected to become •a Yorkshireman in five or six days. Two. -I am a Canadian because I know Canada. They know not England who only England know. They know not Can- ada who only their province know. The Englishman who finds himself, say, in Southern Saskatchewan, for a year or two, and who visits the Old Country, says, "In Canada they do this and that." He will describe an .ox harness,- for instance. He does not know that in Nova Scotia they strap a yoke tight to the oxen's horns; and they also shoe each ox with eight iron Shoes. To him the little bit of Canada he has seen is the whole of Canada. Will you forgive me if I state the simple truth that a great deal of Can- adian pride is nourished on a little knowledge of Canada. We can't all know the country, because if every- body travelled all the time there would be a standstill to industries on which the country prospers. That means that there is something of a responsibility upon those who have seen much of the country to help the less fortunate to realize what a noble country it is, and what a Wonderful future it may make its own. It was by a fortune I never de- served, that I went through the mill of pioneering in the West between 1885 and 1891, and that, after fourteen year" absence I came back, journeyed for three months all over the country, and finally settled in Toronto; and that in six years I have travelled a hundred and forty thousand miles be- tween, Halifax and Victoria. Of deliberate ehoice,then, t brought my family to Canada. They do not want to go Vatic to the land of their birth. We do not speak of England as "home." This is our home. We want no other. Our settlement has been consecrated by the advent of a little Canadian -born girl, who began life sturdier in body than either of her will beable to singof She � tern. sis Canada as her native land, I ani glad of it. You see, we eonibin: the n the Native -horn. a d e British -horn ,And behold it is good --very god. Jas. Walker & So WINO A � q�yty, �yM itt �, lJt�tD IAK yy.

Don't be scared by the immigrant, It is bad for you and worse for him. And don't: think youknow all about the immigrant host and their coun- try just because you hired a green, Englishman from a city, who didn't know how to put a collar on a horse." Perhaps you never saw a Doukho- bor, or a Galician, or a Buckowinian, or a Ruthenian, Thousands of these people, scattered over the prairies are Canadian citizens just as much as you are, you lucky great-grandson or great-granddaughter of a 'United Em- pire Loyalist. They will vote on Reciprocity two thousand miles from where you are. One of these days a full-blooded Douk- hobor will sit in the House of Com- mons. I have an excellent friend in the Saskatchewan Legislature -a Ruthenian -who couldn't speak a word of English a few years ago. It Isn't far, you know, from the Assembly to the Commons. The Chairman of the Licensing Commission of the Pro- vince of Saskatchewan is a German who came from the Fatherland to Minnesota, was naturalized and elected a senator, left Minnesota for Saskatchewan, and was naturalized again. The largest place of public assembly in Port Arthur is owned by Iceland- ers. In Vancouver I could take you to a Chinese. theatre where two pea formances daily are given. The Jap is almost as numerous as the China- man in the salmon fisheries of British Columbia. The Hindoo's turban bas become a commonplace on the Pacific Coast. Down in Nova Scotia travellers not Infrequently hear people speak of go-, ling to Canada, when they mean an-' other 'province in the confederation oft which Nova Scotia has been a consti-i tuent for forty years. On the prairies! you will find a foreign flag exalted, I' had almost said worshipped, in un -f cbunted homes. At Red Deer, in defer; ence to foreign sentiment, they stop= ped singing songs in harmony with the flag that has these thousand years; braved the battle and the breeze. Canadian nationality is marching in; double harness, with these imported: elements in the team. I tell you Canada is infinitely more, than an Ontario concession line, as little red school house and a Loyal` Orange Lodge. What is to be donei about the amazing medley of kindreds, and tribes and tongues which I have: hinted at, and for which the Bible: Society prints the y p Scriptures in sev enty different languages? And, mind you, there is more than the differences of race and language' between you and your fellow -citizen( from the South of Europe who flour-' fishes alongside the South Saskatcl;e-; wan. He comes from a country you; never saw to a country you have never seen, and he knows nothing of' tiie distinctions of the country you in- habit. The prairie country and the mountains are apt to produce people' different in their make-up from the dwellers in. the east. A high railway official who came' east two years ago, had never seen, apples growing on the trees. The none English speaking people who have! come to the country where he was' born are twice as unfamiliar with the; east as he was. It is something of a, job in Canadian development to get. all these people up there to live like; you live, think like you think, and see. things as you see them. And they are; Canadians with full rights-citizens.r Their children are the native-born,; even as your children are. What do you think about it? What ground can we line them up on so that they will stand where we, stand, and be governed by the same well -springs of patriotism that move us? You perceive it must be broad ground on which to stand, and a big, high ideal at which to look. Ando don't forget this -the imagination of their children must be nurtured. How can anyting be accomplished in face of the tremendous differences between them and us? Somehow, soon, we have got to get all Canadian citizens thinking about the same thing. We have got to have a common ideal about our country their country, speakers of broken- English; owners, absolute ownera of Canadian soil, that they are. They must be helped to become good Cana- dians. But 'what is a good Canadian? An-' swer me this -What do you mean when you stand up and sing "God save the King"? The King is on the other side of the ocean, and you per- haps are a thousand Miles from salt water. On the other side of the world people are singing "God save the King" exactly as you sing it. What have you to do with them? What have they to do with your 73uckowin- Ian fellow -citizen over on the Saskat- chewan? It is a mighty curious thing this Canadian nationality in the progress of Which you have harnessed yourself with the crowd of aliens to your ideas who have dome to the Dominion from all the corners of the earth.

These great men have looked for assets for Canada; for an impetus to your pros- perity. Be gentle in your attitude to the people wlto come from the same land that your ancestors came from. Let patience have her perfect work in you, in them. Ask yourself how you would get along if you were dumped into a Yorkshire manufacturing town and sent to work In a mill, and ex- pected to become •a Yorkshireman in five or six days. Two. -I am a Canadian because I know Canada. They know not England who only England know. They know not Can- ada who only their province know. The Englishman who finds himself, say, in Southern Saskatchewan, for a year or two, and who visits the Old Country, says, "In Canada they do this and that." He will describe an .ox harness,- for instance. He does not know that in Nova Scotia they strap a yoke tight to the oxen's horns; and they also shoe each ox with eight iron Shoes. To him the little bit of Canada he has seen is the whole of Canada. Will you forgive me if I state the simple truth that a great deal of Can- adian pride is nourished on a little knowledge of Canada. We can't all know the country, because if every- body travelled all the time there would be a standstill to industries on which the country prospers. That means that there is something of a responsibility upon those who have seen much of the country to help the less fortunate to realize what a noble country it is, and what a Wonderful future it may make its own. It was by a fortune I never de- served, that I went through the mill of pioneering in the West between 1885 and 1891, and that, after fourteen year" absence I came back, journeyed for three months all over the country, and finally settled in Toronto; and that in six years I have travelled a hundred and forty thousand miles be- tween, Halifax and Victoria. Of deliberate ehoice,then, t brought my family to Canada. They do not want to go Vatic to the land of their birth. We do not speak of England as "home." This is our home. We want no other. Our settlement has been consecrated by the advent of a little Canadian -born girl, who began life sturdier in body than either of her will beable to singof She � tern. sis Canada as her native land, I ani glad of it.

Don't be scared by the immigrant, It is bad for you and worse for him. And don't: think youknow all about the immigrant host and their coun- try just because you hired a green, Englishman from a city, who didn't know how to put a collar on a horse." Perhaps you never saw a Doukho- bor, or a Galician, or a Buckowinian, or a Ruthenian, Thousands of these people, scattered over the prairies are Canadian citizens just as much as you are, you lucky great-grandson or great-granddaughter of a 'United Em- pire Loyalist. They will vote on Reciprocity two thousand miles from where you are. One of these days a full-blooded Douk- hobor will sit in the House of Com- mons. I have an excellent friend in the Saskatchewan Legislature -a Ruthenian -who couldn't speak a word of English a few years ago. It Isn't far, you know, from the Assembly to the Commons. The Chairman of the Licensing Commission of the Pro- vince of Saskatchewan is a German who came from the Fatherland to Minnesota, was naturalized and elected a senator, left Minnesota for Saskatchewan, and was naturalized again. The largest place of public assembly in Port Arthur is owned by Iceland- ers. In Vancouver I could take you to a Chinese. theatre where two pea formances daily are given. The Jap is almost as numerous as the China- man in the salmon fisheries of British Columbia. The Hindoo's turban bas become a commonplace on the Pacific Coast. Down in Nova Scotia travellers not Infrequently hear people speak of go-, ling to Canada, when they mean an-' other 'province in the confederation oft which Nova Scotia has been a consti-i tuent for forty years. On the prairies! you will find a foreign flag exalted, I' had almost said worshipped, in un -f cbunted homes. At Red Deer, in defer; ence to foreign sentiment, they stop= ped singing songs in harmony with the flag that has these thousand years; braved the battle and the breeze. Canadian nationality is marching in; double harness, with these imported: elements in the team. I tell you Canada is infinitely more, than an Ontario concession line, as little red school house and a Loyal` Orange Lodge. What is to be donei about the amazing medley of kindreds, and tribes and tongues which I have: hinted at, and for which the Bible: Society prints the y p Scriptures in sev enty different languages? And, mind you, there is more than the differences of race and language' between you and your fellow -citizen( from the South of Europe who flour-' fishes alongside the South Saskatcl;e-; wan. He comes from a country you; never saw to a country you have never seen, and he knows nothing of' tiie distinctions of the country you in- habit. The prairie country and the mountains are apt to produce people' different in their make-up from the dwellers in. the east. A high railway official who came' east two years ago, had never seen, apples growing on the trees. The none English speaking people who have! come to the country where he was' born are twice as unfamiliar with the; east as he was. It is something of a, job in Canadian development to get. all these people up there to live like; you live, think like you think, and see. things as you see them. And they are; Canadians with full rights-citizens.r Their children are the native-born,; even as your children are. What do you think about it? What ground can we line them up on so that they will stand where we, stand, and be governed by the same well -springs of patriotism that move us? You perceive it must be broad ground on which to stand, and a big, high ideal at which to look. Ando don't forget this -the imagination of their children must be nurtured. How can anyting be accomplished in face of the tremendous differences between them and us? Somehow, soon, we have got to get all Canadian citizens thinking about the same thing. We have got to have a common ideal about our country their country, speakers of broken- English; owners, absolute ownera of Canadian soil, that they are. They must be helped to become good Cana- dians. But 'what is a good Canadian? An-' swer me this -What do you mean when you stand up and sing "God save the King"? The King is on the other side of the ocean, and you per- haps are a thousand Miles from salt water. On the other side of the world people are singing "God save the King" exactly as you sing it. What have you to do with them? What have they to do with your 73uckowin- Ian fellow -citizen over on the Saskat- chewan? It is a mighty curious thing this Canadian nationality in the progress of Which you have harnessed yourself with the crowd of aliens to your ideas who have dome to the Dominion from all the corners of the earth. You are sure about your own Canadlanism. But what about theirs ? It is up to you; for you asked them to come in, You know. Suppose you talk it over with those Scotch and English fellow of your acquaintance, And acyua ask your Irish friend tp talk about it. A Large Mangold.
