ESTABLISHED t87a TUE \' 'iN ►nit TIMES ILL ELLIOTT, PnRWSRER AND PROPIETOR TIURSDAY, JULY 24, 1913. THE SWING OF THE PENDULUM. Since the last Dominion election there have been elections in six out of the With the increased prosperity of Canada Comes the usual increase in divorce cases. Thirty -six applications for divorce were granted by Parliament last session. The year previous there were only 16 cases granted, in 1010 there were 15, and in 1909 6. Toronto easily leads as the divorce centre of Canada, as of the 36 applications grant- ed no less than 17 were from the Queen City; The "high living" the "high gaming" and the "high flying" are contributory causes of trouble between man and wife. The man and wife who were all-in-all to each other in the struggling days find many causes of ir- ritation as they mount the social ladder with increasing riches. - Ridgetown Dominion. nine provinces of Canada. The first Political events produce strange bed fellows. When the Borden Naval trib- ute 13111 was before the Canadian Senate the Liberal majority there decided that the.Senate should not further deal with it until the judgement of the people had been secured. Last Tuesday the Tory majority in the House of Lords in Eng- land by an immense majority refused to proceed with consideration of the Irish Home Rule Bill "until it has been sub- mitted to the judgment of the country." Government by the people for the people, has evidently found strong defenders in the upper chambers of the British Em- pire. was in Ontario, where the Liberals won twice as many seats as in the Dominion election three months before. Then came Quebec, where the Liberal gov- ernment was returned with scarcely more than a trace of the opposition left. New Brunswick followed and re- mained in the Tory ranks under the influence of Hon. Mr. Hazen, with promises of bountiful federal expendi- tures, while the diminutive province of Prince Edward Island was captured by the Tories with the promise of a steam ferry connection with the main land. Next came Saskatchewan with its over- whelming Liberal majority, despite the manipulations of Hon. Mr. Rogers, closely followed by Alberta with its strong preference for Liberal members in shite of federal influences. In face of the brazen methods of the Borden Government to interfere in provincial politics, the results in the provinces are amply sufficient to show that the pen- dulum of time is swinging, as is to be expected in a young progressive country, on toward Liberal principles. SMALL TOWNS AND HYDRO. RT. IIEt.ENs (Intended for last week) The Rev. Mr. Craw of 'Fergus occu- pied the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church last Sabbath aad preached a very fine sermon which was much apprecia- ted by the congregation. Mr. Craw will preach here again, (D. V.) on Sun- day, July 27th. The Rev. W. Taylor will preach next Sabbath at 11 a. m. - St. Helens and vicinity were well rep- resented at Lucknow on the 12th, quite a number attending the celebration. The Canadian Courier of last week says: "Various parts of Ontario have heen benefitted by the provincial elec- tric distribution system known as the Hydro -Electric, All the larger towns between Toronto and London inclusive have increased their manufacturing facilities. The towns nearest to Nia- gara Falls have been abnormally bene- fitted. On the other hand, there are a large number of smaller towns just outside the Hydro Belt which have been serious- ly injured. These towns cannot attract new industries, and cannot even hold those they had. The effect is the same as if the Ontario Government had bon - used a certain number of tower, and cities and left others without a bonus. The unbonused towns are being de- populated. There are unbonused towns in Wes- tern Ontario where $8,000 houses may be bought for $2,000, and where popu- lation 50 per lotion has declined from 25 and cent. Of course, the Hydro Commis- sion did not intend to injure these towns, but the practical effect of their policy is as stated. That the credit of the whole province should be used to build up one portion and to destroy another seems unthinkable, yet this is what has occurred in Ontario. Any province which is thinking of imitating Ontario's power policy should keep this in mind and so frame their plans as to spread the benefits over the whole provincial area. If they neglect to do so they will work irreparable in- jury to a large number of citizens." Fortunately for Wingham we are able to furnish electric power from our own plant at a rate much lower than the rate quoted by the Hydro Commission. EDITORIAL NOTES.

According to statistics just prepared, during the past year for the first time in over sixty years Canada shipped no butter to the United Kingdom. Canada is now, on the other hand, classed a- mong the butter importing countries. During the past fiscal year there was an enormous increase and the butter imposts rea hed n total of some 7,000,- 00'1 pounds, mostly from New Zealand. Taylor Bros. of Westfield visited friends here last Sunday. Miss Pearl Todd returned home on Monday from a visit of a few days at Wingham. Mr. John Miller of the Bank of Com- merce staff, Windsor, is spending his vacation at his parental home here. Mr. Thos. Phillips is at present at Listowel undergoing medical treatment. Misses Annie Clark and Mina Ruther- ford are home for their holidays from Saskatoon and Edmonton respectively, where they have been engaged in teach- ing school. Very sad, indeed, was the death of Mrs. John Bowls, which occurred last Saturday, July 12th, from a fracture of the skull, caused by being thrown from a milk wagon. Mrs. Bowls got on the wagon which her husband was taking to the factory; the horses became fright- ened and appeared to be running away, but afterwards Mr. Bowls succeeded in bringing them to a halt. When he re- turned to his wife he found her uncon- scious and she passed away in about an hour. She leaves, besides her husband a young daughter of about thirteen years. Her remains were interred near Sarnia. From Jan. 1, 1911, to Dec. 31, 1912, there were 1,119 labor strikes in Canada, in tvnich :.19,960 , n figured at a total estimated cost to the country of $18,000,- 000, based on the conservative estimate that the average value of a working day is V. During the 12 years, 9,000,- 000 working days were lost owing to strikes, or an average of three-quarters of a million days per year for a period taken. These interesting figures are embodied in a report just prepared by officials in the labor department, giving all the moat important facts and figures en strikes and lockouts in the 12 years specified. 131a �SI (�ES'[S� SAND SI-1OET1.

The run was the largest for several months. In spite of this, the market was firm and trade good for butchers' grades at steady prices, Sheep and lambs remained firm, as did calves.

The Aged Peoples Home at London Ont., furnishes the latest example of this, a recent marriage there creating much interest. The groom is Dr. S. McDonald, one of the inmates, and the blushing. bride is Miss Nellie Battenheimer, one of the domestics at the home. He is about 70 years of age, while she is about—well, it would not be fair to tell how old she is. In any event Mrs. McDonald is far from 70, in fact is much nearer 50. They were wedded on Dominion Day and are spending their honeymoon at the Tecumseh House in London. Dr. McDonald will practice dentistry in Strathroy later. Nearly a year ago Dr. McDonald and his daughter, who then lived on Park avenue, were taken to Victoria Hospit- al, quite ill. He recovered but was so shattered in health that he was unable to work. As no better place was avail- able he was placed in the Aged People's Home, where he has since resided. Miss Battenheimer was one of the servants in the home and she and Dr. McDonald became quite friendly. Noth- ing was thought of it until last week, when Dr. McDonald and Miss Batten- heimer left. The announcement of their marriage followed and the couple received the congratulations of their friends. Miss Battenheimer, it is understood, has quite a sum of money. She was left a legacy and by dint of saving for many years she has accumulated sever- al thousand. With this she assisted Dr. McDonald in purchasing a dental prac- tice in Strathroy, where they will teside. "Oh, yes, I am married," said Dr. McDeuald to The London Free Press. "We are very happy. 1 intended fol- lowing my profession in Strathroy, where we will reside." W ING H AAI ]MARKET REPORTS.

According to present indications the wheat crop of 1913 will be the greatest ever harvested in Manitoba, Saskatche- wan or Alberta, thus requiring the farm laborers of the East to assist in harvest- ing the world's greatest bread basket. The Governments of the respective Provinces state that many thousand men will be required for this year's harvest. These will have to be prin- cipally recruited from Ontario, and the prosperity of Canada depends on securinglabor promptly. The Canadian Pacific, on which Company will fall practically the entire task of trans- porting the men to the West, is already making special arrangements for this year. Excursions from various points in Ontario to Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will be run and special trains operated, making the trip in about thirty-six hours and avoiding any change of cars or transfer. This will be a day shorter than any other route. Dates, rates and conditions will be announced in a few days, Thos.
