Knox Church. Last Sunday morning Rev. Mr, Boyle preached a very able and touch- ing sermon from the text, "If a. man die shall he live again." Mr, Boyle is a very impressive and interesting expounder of the gospel. Mrs. Botchy an old resident of the village is very ill and little hopes are entertained for her recovery. She is residing at the horne of her daughter in Detroit. Her many friends here hope for her recovery. Miss Janet Hood was visiting friends here for a few days on her way home to Blyth having spent the winter with relatives in Saginaw, Paris, Guelph, also called on friends in Hespeler, Pe'rnerston and Brussels. Mrs, Sproat bas returned home from Ethel from nursing her friend, Mrs. McCartney, who passed peacefully away on Thursday. the'9.h. Deceased was a great sufferer.

The debate which was given in Knox Church on the night of Good Friday was well attended and shows what an interest the people have in a de- bate.

Average for March 35,— Nelson Wiggins, teacher, There passed away at her home in Clinton on Thursday, April 2nd, Mrs. S trail Cook. Deceased was living alone and was found by her son who h td come in from the eountry, Mrs. Cook had been in her usual health the day before. Life passed out some time during Wednesday night. De- ceased came with her parents and sisters and brothers from Cadman, Ireland, in the year 1860, settling near Kingston. After two years the family came and tookttp lot 6, con.. 6, Mortis:. Forty-eight years ago she was united in marriage to the late Thos. Cook, They took up their home en the Bay- tield Road, Goderich township, where they continued to reside till the time of her husband's death, ten years ago, when she took up her residence in Clinton. MVP. Cook was an industri- ous Woman, kindhearted and upright in all her dealings, She leaves one sea and three daughters, the son George in Goderieh Tp., Mrr. Marlow in Goderich, Mrs, Humble and Mrs, Bleaker in Clinton, one brother Jame§ at Binevale and Andrew in Michigan, who though advanced in years was in attendadee at the funeral, which was helot to Bayileld cemetery on Sunday, 5th, her pastor conducting impressive services. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to the last rest- ing place, Horses "Walk Plank." The eurefootedneea of the mule is proverbial, but the featsof this animal are rivalled by those of the pack -horses need by the Dosninton Fov'eetry Branch surveyors in the wild timbered regions of northern Canada and the R Joky Mountains, Laden though they are with "grub," as the survey terms provisions, these horses can swim wide rivers, ford shallow Ono, or follow the men of the party over a single log, often no more than a foot in diameter, which bridges a deep narrow mountain gorge where a fall would mean instant death or worse. They can even follow the. foresters through the sloughs, muskegs and wind -thrown brute cbaracterletic of this northet n forest, which is saying a good deal fur a mere horse, for as one of the forest•aurveyors writes from the primeval forest, near Lesser Stave Lake, "A forester needs to be here, besidesall other professional titlee, a real bushman, an axe -man and a jumper," There were eight forest .survey parties engaged in demarking forest and agricultural lands in the far west last summer, and their reports which will appear in the annual report of the Director of Forestry, Ottawa, contain accounts of actual adventures which rival the most fictitious. The total area examined last summer was about 11,000,000 acres, some on the rough slopes of the Rockies, some in the rocky areas of Manitoba and Saekat- ebewan and some in the low-lying and muskeg region of northern Alberta. Very little land was found fit for agriculture in these regions, and most of it i a recommended as forest reserves. The present area of the Dominion Forest Reserves is 23,0I7,504 acres, or nearly 36,000 square miles. If all present recommendationa for reserves are approved by Act of Parliament the area will be doubled. In com- ison, 'the National Forests,. of the United States cover an area of 257,855 square miles, yet Canada is larger than the United States and contains larger land areas fit only for tree growth. IN MEMORIAM. (in memory of Irwin It. Elliott, who died April 18.h,1913) Death from out our ranks has taken, Coe a brother whom we loved ; By his faith and love unshaken, Ile a steadfast comrade proved ; And in death he epeaketh yet, By that bright example set. • Yes, though dead, he lives forever, -- Registered his name on high ; Shell he be forgotten l Never One with Obriet, he cannot die. Sweetly sleeping in the Lord, Hid hie life with Christ in God. Yet, we mourn a fellow creature, Right it is to sympathise ; "Jesus wept" 'tis human nature, Re was heard in tears and cries ; And exalted still retaine Sympathy with all our paine. He both died and rose and liveth That he might be Lord of all ; His they are who God forgiveth, And they sure shall hear Hie call ; Bought by Him, Hie blood the price, His by cov'nant sacrifice. Oa the sure foundation resting— Rock of ages, Iiving stone, Trial, faith and patience testing. Makes us trust in God alone, Fight the Fight, pursue the strife, Laying hold on endless life, Life and light and resurrection, Immortality He gives; Gone for ever imperfection, Christ the Lord of glory lives ; And forever strong to save, Gives the vlct'ry o'er the grave. Sweet the mem'ry of our brother, Sweet the comfort from above; Sweet the greeting of each other, Should the Lord of us approve ; Till that day in peace he sleeps, Christ His own in safety keeps. From Christadelphian Brethren, Hamilton, Ont. The bright days of youth are the seed. time of life. Every thought of the Intel- lect, every motion of the heart. every word of the tongue, every principle adopted, every act performed, is a seed whose good or evil fruit will be the bliss or bane of after life, —D. Wise. TWO TARIFF RECORDS The principle of Protection, as first introduced into the Canadian tariff in 1878. placed a duty upon agt i :ultural implements of 35%. The record of the two political parties since that time touching this parts• cuter subject hasbeen as follows :— CONSERVATIVE. Between the years 1878 to 1806 the Conservatives reduced the duty from 35 per cent, to 20 per cent. Between the years 1911 to 1914 the Conservatives have reduced the duty from 17i per cent. to 12t per cent. The Conservative policy is to reduce the duty'according as our manufactu:. ing concerns grow in strength and be- come better able to meet competition. Every pledge made in this respect has been redeemed. LIBERAL. Elected to power in 1896 upon the promise of free agricultural imple. menta. Did nothing until the year 1907, when they reduced the duty by only 2e per cent., or from 20 per Cent. to 17t per cent. The reciprocity pact carried with it a provision to reduce the duty •to 15 per cent., and the last year in power, 1911, were offered free implements by the United States, but refused it. Specifically promised the manufac- turers in 1911 that no further reduc- tions would be made. Now out of power`, and thus irres- poneible, they again promise free implements. Since the year 1878 there bas been a reduction in the duty .upon agricul- tural implements from 35% to 12}%. Of this reduction THE CONSERVATIVES RAVE MADE 20%, and THE LIBERALS HAVE MADE ONLY 2i per cent. To obtain power in 1896, the Liberals promised free implements, but dur- ing the subsequent fifteen years of office only made the insignificant reduction of 2i per cent, To obtain office again they are promising free implements, but in the light of the record of the Liberal party, as compared with that of the Conser- vatives, THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED. A RECORD OF ' SUCCESS Transportation rates have been a burden upon the Canadian people for many years, but' no relief was given until the present Government assumed office: The following record of the Ccn.ervative party, as contrasted with the Liberal party, is significant. The time is also but two years,- compered with fifteen :— •, LIBERAL PARTY. .,.CONSERVATIVE PARTY. Ext>nir.ss RATES. Liberals persistently neglected• to make any effort to secure reductions.

' A TWO•YLAR RECORD, The Conservative Government have already secured substantial reduction in express rates, have cut down railway freight rates, and are energetically conducting an inquiry into the question of ocean freight rates. theallealeataiiteaaaelarilleameseeta Wingham Novelty Store • Watch for our SPECIALS on SATURDAY Misses Gargan & Pyke LCONOMIGAL-»-Heats the house went, without burning all the coal you can buy, ¶Clary!s 5;.:. fl ie Gives steady, even Urea Ce heat on least fuel.
