Witness of, last Friday says :—One of the most in: tereetink, visitors in the -city at this time is Dr. Moffatt, a member of the medical staff of the Canadian branch of the American Board, Commissioners of Foreign Missions, who sails for Europe tomorrow to complete certain studies. Dr. Moffatt has already spent 'seven years as a missionary in the African field and returned to this country five years to undertake a dourge of medicine, which would fit him to return to Af;'ica and continue his work as a medical missionary. Dr. Moffatt has, therefore, spent the past five years .at the Western Re- serve Medical College, Cleveland, 0., from which be recently graduated and from which he proceeds to London for a five months' additional course in diseases peculiar to that part of the world in whichhe will labor. Dr. bioffatt's situation is in the Province of Angola, a part of Portugese West Africa, which is populated by the Ovimbundu tribe, a " branch of the Kaffir native. In the territory dir- ectly under his control there are probably some 300,000 souls, so that the magnitude of the work undertaken by the medical missionaries in that part may be imagined. Dr. Moffatt has a most interesting story to tell relative to the development of South' ammicaossmowrcntsmemaararsarr Africa and the great part being play,- ed by Great Britain. The great rave way from Cairo to Cape Town the dream of Cecil Rhodes, is now com- pleted for over 5,000 miles, and the ad- ditional one thousandodd miles are expected to be finished within the next two year's, This road will then measure 0,400 miles, will be the long- est railway in the world, and will have been entirely constructed by British capital and through British energy. As to the future of South Africa; and, in fact, Africa generally, - Dr. Moffatt is cxoeedingly enthusiastic. In his opinion the time will come, and it may not be long delayed when Portugal, now buried under an $800,000,000 na- tional debt will sell her South African possessions, and itis then that Dr. Moffatt looks for their developinent and general all-round improvement in the same manner as Great Britain bas benefitted the other great territories she has acquired.

SAGE CALLED TO HER REWARD.—The many friends of hire. Chas, Sage, a former well known resi- dent of Walton for long years, will. regret to hear of her demise at her home in Calgary. Thefollowingletter to THE POST Will supply particulars concerning the deceased lady :— DEAR MR. K'F8RR.—Am sorry I could not. write you sooner telling you of our dear mother's death. She died on the 14th of this month after being in bed nearly three weeks. Her suf- ferings were terrible in the extreme so much so that it seemed almost a bless- ing when they were ended. Although she suffered so much and towards the last few days she was subjected to morphine injections, her mind was clear and her hearing and sight unim- paired. She was unconscious only one day. Of course yon probably remem- ber that sbehadstomach trouble when in Walton and never seemed to get rightly over it but for all that she was a wonder and could play musical glas- ses to the last. She put in one of the fittest vegetable gardens in Calgary before her last sickness and I am look. ing after it now in her place. Only the day before she was taken ill she planted out80 or 00 cabbage plants so yon see what a wonderful woman she was. She also stood with Alice and me watching the Coronation parade for over two hours but coni - planned afterward of a pain in her side. We had a trained nurse, also two doctors, one of whom was Dr. Armstrong, formerly of Walton. Alice did all in her power for dear another during the first week or more till we had to get a nurse. We had 18 and twenty callers every day inquir- ing as 'to mother's health also 11 roomers with a11 our own work to do . we aero kept very bus so you see p Y I must not forget to tell you that mnthee had great patience and was never out of tempo]) once. Besides I am glad to say she was quite ready to meet her God and was so willing to go from her suffering hex's. She was in- deed a good mother and Alice and I miss her as does every One who knew her but she wished us nob to fret or worry about her when gone. It wend take tm too much of your valuable time to explain her sufferings further but wished to letyou know of her death.. Trusttg this tvill find nd u Mrs. mand old friends site IC'err well I ieatn with kindest regards and best wishes from Alice and my self to you all, Your Sincere Friend, ANNIE M.

Hurotl 0o,-4 W Ansley, Part 1I; Huron County. - Joseph Yellow, who lives It miles East of Exeter, had bis barn burned Monday morning about ten o'clock, also his wheat and hay, a team of horses, nine hogs, six calves, mower and seed drill, new buggy, a chest of tools, etc. The - origin of the fire is not definitely known, but it is sup. posed to have been accidentally set on fire by his little boy. The loss will be heavy. What They Think Of Reciprocity In Opposition to Mr. Borden's. Policy main they should profit. As a rule the farmers nearest the border, wile will notice the effect of 1.04,1,004y most, have shown little anxiety about it, x'he middle Western States have been the centre of the agitatioin with fn the Republican party for tariff re, duction. Their hostility toxo fair and' advantageous a measure of: tariff re duction as 15 embodied in this bill is rattler inconsistent, hat it is probable that the votee of Senators were in flusnced by many considerations be- side the desire to please the farmers, —Buffalo Dxpress. The Canadian is a valuable customer, because he has enterprise, civilization and purchasing power. The agree meet is a moderate, reasonable ar- rangement, with people on our borders living under practice/1Y the same con- ditions. The reciprocity measure when i4 becomes law, will damage no legitimate interest and cause nod,,.; dislocation of trade or disturbance tb indUatey. 011 the other hand, it ie. confidently counted upon to stimulate all commerce and industry and it is ex- pected to point the way to the sane and sensible method of making any general revision of the tariff that may, be undertaken by either party.

Mr. Borden and his followers will oppose it. West Huron Liberal Nominating'•'° Convention will be held at Glade - rich on Wednesday, 16th inst. Two names likely to before that gathering are said to be Barrister M. 'r G. Oameron, exM. P. P., of.Goderieb, and Thos. McMillan, - ex -Reeve of Hallett township. SOUTH HURON LIBERAn. CONVENTION. —A convention of the Liberals of South , Huron, for the purpose of selecting a; candidate to contest the riding in the Liberal interests at the coming Domin- ion election will be held in Hensali, on Friday, August 18th, at 71 o'clock, a. m. It is particularly requested that every division in the riding be fullyre- presented. W. H. Lawrence, Aberdeen, dealt with the question of grain certificates, Manitoba certificates, he said, were not taken into .consideration in buy- ing and selling futures. In that case, the certificates of the Liverpool Oorn exchange were taken in preference to Manitoba certificates. The margin be- tween Duluth audFort William on the same grade of wheat had been 10 cents in favor of Duluth during 1910. The Oanadian farmers had lost greatly through not being able to trade with the United States. In the States Oauadian got a grade higher for their wheat than in their own market, The Winnipeg Grain exchange dealt in about seven standards or grades of wheat. They ranged from No. 1 Nor- thern to feed wheat and the total spread was from 80 to. 32 cents or say an average spread of five cents. Adding that 5 cents to the 10 cents which Duluth was over Fort William they saw that the Canadian farmer was robbed of 15 cents on every bushel of wheat he sold. In 1910 that loss amounted to $18,000,000. Again they would get a better price for their flax by 25 cents a bushel if the American market were open to them. There was also n big spread on bar- ley. On the same day and for the same grade the American and Cana- dian prices had been $.06and '1 59 cents respectively. If Mr. Borden were a Western farmer he would be struggling just as hard as they were to gel these k d Theyasfor more com- e few cents petition amongst the buyers of Cana - It dean wheat. was not the intention selfish. They would ' anyway to be i n be loyal tCanada, but they asked that Canada be loyal to them. The reciprocity policy is neither parti- san nor sectional. Its purpose is broadly national and it aims only at benefitting the country as a whole. It has, therefore appealed to voter's of all parties and all sections, and their appreciation of its patriotic disin terestedness and breadth of states- manship broke the courage of the op- position and compelled an obdurate Senate to yield to the President's view. —New York Tribune. The significance of this remarkable movement, after all transcends leader- ship on the one side or the other. It lies in the fact that the great body of the American people, brought face to face witha concrete issue, have been shown that they are weary of the old bad system of piiblic legislation for private interests and still more weary of • the hampering, destructive and demoralizing restrictions of extreme protectionism. They have shown that they have outgrown the narrow and provincial policy that has prevailed tor the past forty years, and that they know they have outgrown it. Great as is the actual progress of which Canadian reciprociey is the embodi- ment, it is but the beginning of an emancipation that will not cease until it is complete.—New York Tiines. The propaganda of years the need of new outlets, the recognized "test" of legitimate protection the community of the higher interests between our- selves and Canada—all these things had prepared the ground for it. The opposition, sincere in many instances, has been prompted by vague fear and doubt. Experience was against it; reason was against aint it ; manifest , allure 0f dentin was against it. 7 f the opThe position was absolutely iu- evitable. Time and trade tides will vindicate the supporters of the bill while its opponents will cheerfully for- get their errors and prophecies of woo. The passage of hill is a great victory for the President,, who ably and boldly championed it, even when he was threatened with personal and political disaster. The victory marksprogress, political, moral, industrial. and there to glory enough in it for all.—Chicago Record -Herald. came from The principal opposition P P thee COLD art of the .Mississippi als p valley This is an agricultural region and the vote officially represents hostility of farming interests to reci- procity.
