G1aLId)I'T, Panr.rstitn:..an Pftorii:7ron THURSDAY, MARCH 27. 1913 EDITORIAL NOTES "If I b •l:t'aed that the native sons of this natal.. eenntry are incapable of re- sounding to the appeal that must at- tach t'o a truly Canadian naval service, I would remove to some country where partisanship in politics does not produce such Harvests of despair, and where my children might answer to their Viking blood." From The Canadian and Brit- ish News of Canada, of which Mr. Art- hur Hawkes is editor. Hon. John Haggart, member of Par- liament for South Lanark, ex -postmast- er -general and ex -minister of railways and canals, died at his rooms in Otta- wa on Thursday after an illness of sev- eral months' duration, which, however, did not become acute until a few hours before the end. Death was due to bright's disease. The deceased states- man had been confined to his bed for about two months. A feature of the past week has been the activity of the Liberals throughout Ontario, preparing for any eventualities. There have been meetings of Liberal Associations at many centres, while al- ready nominations and preparations for them are under way. Amongst the more notable of these were the nomina- tion of Hon. W. L. McKenzie King, ex - Minister of Labour, for North York, and the nomination of Dr. J. F. Hons- berger for North Waterloo. Both these nomination meetings were reported as having been the largest and most en- thusiastic in the history' of their ridings. It is evident thatwhen the final tussle comes Ontario will give a good account of itself. That Hon. R. L. Borden has good reas- on for wanting to keep the letter of Right Hon. Winston Churchill confiden- tial was set forth by Hon. George P. Graham, when speaking at Mitchell, when he said it removed all doubt as to whether Premier Borden's policy was one of a Canadian naval service or one of continued contributions. The two outstanding features of the letter from the First Lord of the Admiralty were to expose of Premier Bordon and the fact that Right Hon. Winston Church- ill was guilty of meddling in Canada's affairs. Mr. Graham in fastening upon Premier Bordon the accusation that his policy was one of contributions, clearly showed to what extent the Prime Mini- ster had succumbed to the donimation of the Quebec Nationalists. A detailed account of the expenditure of the Hydro Electric Commission am- ounting to over $4,000,000.00 is not to be brought before the Legislature. Sir James Whitney declared that it would take too long -to get the information col- lected and his majority in the House voted down the Opposition in their mo- tion to secure the statement. Mr. Row- ell in his speech, pointed out that the motion involved no criticism of the Hy- dro, but was simply a reasonable re- quest for a detailed financial statement of the expenditures. He felt sure that the people of the Province would not be satisfied until such detailed information was made available to the House, in or- der that they might see how their money was being expended. All other depart- ments of the Government presented such statements and there was no reas- on why the same principle should not apply to the Hydro. Mrs. Mary Daly, a resident of Sarnia for forty-five years, died at the age of one hundred and eleven. James Sherlock, a fire department driver for 25 years in Ingersoll, was seized with paralysis while exercising his team, and died shortly afterwards, HAD BOILS ON FACE Ai BODY WAS TIOUM FOR I YEARS. Boils iia themselves are sot a dangeroua trouble, but still, at the swine time are 'very painful. y Endblood, are caused entirely by bael blood, necessaro y t put the bd of lood into absolutely it is cos dition. For this purpose there is emtlaing to equal that elan, and well known blood medicine, Burdock Blood. Bitters. Mrs. James Mageean Floral, Sask., writes: --"I eras troubled for eight years with boils on my facto and body, and I tried everything.I could think of. My neighbors told me to drink Water of emir cotta meat, but I kept getting. worse until one day a woman iii town asked foe why I didn't try Burdock Blood Bitters. My husband got me two bottles and before one was gone m boils had all dia.appeared, and I feel like a different woman. I can't tell you how thankful I am for your medicine.

The Annual Conference of Scout work- ers in the province of Ontario will be held at Toronto on Friday and Satur- day, April 11th and 12th. This promis- es to be a great gathering and a prog- ramme of speakers has been arranged of those who are interested in this splen- did movement, and a most pleasant and instructive time is anticipated. The movement is making good progress in this Province and it is necessary that al! officers should get together once a year for an interchange of ideas. On Friday evening a grand display of act- , ual Scout work will be given at which ' the delegates will be present Arrange- ments are being made for sp. tial rates on the railways, and the conference promises to be a great gathering of those who are interested in the future citizens of Canada.

From the Stratford Beacon. The forests of Austria-Hungary, which is now the greatest rival of Canada in the lumber business, are so carefully conserved that though them_ is an im- mense annual cut there is practically no reduction. Lumbermen are to be granted the right to enter the Clear- water forest in the State of Washington and other United States national timber reservations to clear out • quantities of surplus pine estimated at six billion feet. In the ,United States the time is not far distant when the only timber left to cut will be on the Government reserva- tions. In these cases,as in the present ins- tance, cutting will have to be under the regulation of the authorities. It has been suggested that representatives of all the large lumbering firms in Canada and the United States should attend the big cut of our neighbor, and that it be a demonstration of the right way to cut and conserve the forests. The suggest- ion is a practical one, and the lesson which it would teach is no less needed in Canada than itis in the United States. CO-OPERATIVE EXPERIMENTS IN WEED ERADICATION. During the season of 1912, the Ontar- io Agricultural Union carried on co-op- erative experiments in the eradication of Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Campion and Wild Mustard. A number, of practical men took part in these experiments and some very in- teresting and valuable results were ob- tained. A properly cultivated crop of rape wc.s found to bean excellent means of destroying Perennial Sow Thistle and Twitch Grass. Rape proved mere effective in destroyivg Twitch Grass than did Buckwheat. Thorough and deep cultivation followed by potatoes or corn gave good results in the control of Bladder Campion. Spraying with Iron or Copper Sulphate proved to be a cheap and effective means of destroying Mus- tard in growing grain without injury to the crop. Those who took part in these experiments profited by the experience. They cleaned the field experimented upon, demonstrated to their own satis- faction the effectiveness of the method tried and at the same time their re- sults furnished practical information to others. These co-operative experiments in weed eradication will he continued this year (1013) and it is hoped that a large number of men will take part in them in order that sufficient data may be gathered to warrant;definite statements being made regardingthe hest methods of controlling theses pernicious Weeds. The experiments are as follows: (1) The use of rape in the destruction of Perennial Sow Thistle, (2) A system of intensive cropping and cultivation. us- ing Winter Rye followed by Turnips,. Rape or Buckwheat; for eradicating. Perennial Sow Thistle, (3) The use of Rape in the destrlletionofTwitch Grass, (4)A method of cultivation and cropping for the destruction of Twitch Grass, (5) A method for the eradication bf Blad- der Campion Or Cow Bell, (6) Spraying with Iron Sulphate to destroy Mustard in cereal crops.

Willis, of this town, who holds the position of organist of Trinity Church, Mitchell, has been appointed organist and choir leader of King Street Methodist Church, Ingersoll, at a salary of $275. Mr. Wm. Bond, employed at the Un- ion furniture factory, had one of his fingers cut pretty badly, while at work on Tuesday last. This is the third acci- dent which has befallen Mr. Bond inside of a year. Rather hard luck, surely. The horse fair on Thursday, was quite largely attended. Over a dozen buyers were present, and a number of horses changed hands, at prices ranging from $60 to $125. Mr. John Neelands was in Brantford this week attending the quarterly audit of the accounts of the High Court o the Canadian Order of Foresters. Mr. Neelands has held the position of the High Treasurer of the Society for up- wards of ten years. Mr. S. Gracey, who has been on a three weeks' visit to his brother, Dr. Gracey in Waxahachie, Texas, returned on Tues- day night last. He reports the weath- er there at present as similar to what we have in the month of May. Mr. John Pelton of Zetland, who con- templates removing to town shortly, has purchased a lot from Mr. Thomas L. Jobb, on Diagonal Road, on which he will erect a pump factory. On Saturday last about 11. a. m., the fire alarm was sounded, the roof of the Dinsley House being on fire. The fire brigade was promptly at the scene of the fire, but it had been extinguished by parties with pails. It is supposed to have started by a spark from the chimney. The damage would be in the neighborhood of $25. Mr. Stanton Agnew, is home from Chicago. He is full of World's Fair, and is agent for the great Epworth League lodging house.

All experimenters will be supplied with full and detailed instructions for carrying on the experiment selected and with blank forms on which to report the re- sults of the same. All interested in clean farming are asked to co-operate in this work. Address all communica- tions to J. E. Howitt, Botanical Depart- ment, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario. Wood -working Industries. From the Whitby Chronicle and Gazette. What woods do the brush -makers of Ontario use? How much of each kind? What is the value of the wood? Where does it come from? These and other questions with re- spect to the industry mentioned, and also thirty-five other industries which use wood in their product, are answer- ed in a pamphlet soon to be issued by the Forestry branch of the Dominion Department of the Interior. The pam- phlet is known as that branch's Bullet- in No. 36, and is entitled "Wood -using Industries of Ontario." For some years the Forestry branch has issued statistics as to the quantity and value of Wood used in the sawmills, pulp mills, and other wood manufactur- ing industries. The scope of this book- let, however, is different. The term "wood -using industry," as here used, is intended to refer particularly to those industries which use for their taw mp.- terial wood which has already been put through one 'or more processes of manu- facture. T'or ,iitatance, the sawmills, which use for their raw material the lo,gs as they come from the forest, and which saw these into lumber, are not ineladed. The planing mill, on the other hand, takes for its raw materiel rhe' boards, planks, and other material which the saw -mill turns out as its fini- shed product, making these° into sash, doors, etc. So the planing -mill falls into the class of Wood -using industries, as understood in this bulletin, while the saw -mill pea=sly does not. Such 'a dis- tinction cermet, of course, always be carried out strictly. out Hstrictly. WHAT TO TAKE THIS YEAR. Take this paper. Take comfort -If you can. Take things easy -within reason. Take the girl you love to be your wife. Take care of your health. It is the • most valuable thing you have. Take•a hint when it is intended for you. Don't wait to be knocked down. Take flattery as an insult, and an hon- est compliment as as something to be grateful for. Take pains to be faithful and cons- cientious in business. It will bringyou success. Take offence only at things worth be- ing 'offended at. It is a sure evidence of a small mind to notice trifles. Take hold of any work that comes to your mind rather than be idle. Luck alwae s waits upon the busy. Take time to be polite and kind always. Rudeness never pays; the boor may think so, but, he is wrong. Take trouble like a man. Don't go tt'hining about when it comes, but shut your mouth and stand up under it reso- lutely. Had Pains in Her Liver Doctors Only "Relieved Her For A Time.

Easing his opinion on these facts an apple grower in the Cen- tral West, Writing in Rural New York- er, says he believes the next five years will witness a struggle for supremacy between Western and Eastern growers, a period of low prices, and shutting out of the business of all those who cannot produce and market cheaply. 0 VER: SS YEARS' EXPERIENCE TRACE MARKS DEMONS' COPYRIain s ae.

While I'. last decade has witnessed e. extraordinary growth in the num, her of public libraries throughout the country and while no one denies that these libraries confer many benefits they ar•' no such unmitigated bless- ines as many would have us believe, argues a western publication. In then first place they are undermining the good old habit of owning boolcs.Not, of course, among the well to-do; but the well-to-do make relatively small use of public libraries. The usual plea is that most people cannot afford to buy books. This is flatly untrue. the fact is that the ubiquitous library has I-illed the demand in this country for editions of standard books at really popular prices. In France splendid literature volumes are sold at a unit - form rate of 25 centimes (four and a half cents.) In this edition one can buy Homer complete for 27 cents, Milton's Paradise Lost for 9, Descar- tes' Discourse on Method for 4 1-2, and the works of over 100 other auth- ors t corresponding rates. In Ger- many one may buy nicely bound vol - tunes of every conceivable branch of science and art at the rate of 19 cent= a honk. When a man can buy the works or a great philosopher for the ; 'ce of a glass of beer it is arrant • ne.t'nse to say that the public can- not afford books. We are simply doing our best to pauperize readers. They know that they do rot need to buy books; a ben- evolent floe will provide them gratis; and se they go without. Our publish- ers find no r'al demand for editions at prices within the reach of every one. and naturally the editions are not forthcoming The resulting evil is obvious. A man knows his own books as he can never know those of a lib- rary. The books he owns have a double value to him; he has paid for them, which creates the pride of own- ership; and he has them always about him which breeds familiarity. No im- pending fine compels him to hurry when he wants to read slowly. This pauperizing of readers is the greatest, but not the only evil con- nected w:"t the indiscriminate use of libraries. We seem to think that if people read anything they are neces- sarily better off than if they do not. The main business of libraries, especi- all of small ones, has come to be the circulation of "popular" fiction, Even in the large cities the demand for books of this class is demonstrated by the fact that most of them are listed as "five day" or "seven day" books. It is hard to see what good is accomplished by emptying this mass of rubbish on the heads of people - for the most part unable to distinguish real literature from false. Were the libraries less active in discriminating useless and often demoralizing fiction, - standard works would be far more widely read; but so Iong as every library in the land feels called upon 'to have the latest work, and often several copies of it, by the latest writer of trashy fiction, such books will continue to come out in their thousands and tens of thousands, and their betters will rest unread. Chaplains for French Navy. It will be news to most persons that the French navy' has no chap- lains afloat, although a moment's con- sideration would bring to remem- brance the fact of the complete di- vorce between church and state in France. The subject is brought prominently int', notice by a petition signed by a great number of the mothers or widows of the sailors who were victims of the accident on the Gloire or the Liberte. The petitioners are t.) be found in the Midi, Brit- tany, Var and Finistrre. and they pray the Senate for the reappoint. ment of chaplains on warships. - London Globe. She Understood.

He oon- tinned writing for years, cionfident th..t he would win fame in the end. °nee in conversation with a clever girl he started in on his pet theme. "Like the rest of the world," he said, "you don't understand me. But I can afford to laugh at presint neg- lect, for I'm writing for posterity." "Oh, I understand you now," re- plied the girl. "Se that's the reason your poems are not published during your lifetime 1" Servian Army Drums. A curious custom connected, with the Servian army is the manner in which most of the • regiments, carry i , big drum. It is' not, as in most countries, slung in front of the man who plays it, but is placed upon a small two wheeled cart 'drawn by a large dog,_,which has been so trained that it keeps' its eiTaee even through the longest and most tedious marches. The drummer takes up a position behind the catt and performs on the instrument as it moves along. -London Answers. A Bride On the Minute. It was a most. ludicrous mistake. She imagined her wedding day was Wednesday, when in truth it wasn't. to take place till the day after. "Just like a woman.
