And Hepburn said:
"NO—MR. FARMER"
"YES—SIR JAMES"
What has happened to the promises Hepburn made
to the farmers of Ontario before he was elected?
Hepburn Promised the Farmers :
A special session of the legislature to deal with farm relief problems
immediately after the election.
What Hepburn Did:
Nothing! He said: "The farmers must stand on their own feet"
Hepburn Promised the Farmers :
Help in improving livestock, grants to help agriculture.
What Hepburn Did:
He wiped out the Farm Loan Board — stopped bonuses for pure bred
sires and grants to junior judging competitions—cut off $300,000 in
grants made by the previous government to aid the farmer,
Hepburn Promised the Farmers :
Wider markets and better marketing facilities.
What Hepburn Did:
He closed the marketing agencies at Montreal, Winnipeg and in the
Maritimes—closed Ontario House in London, England, which had created
markets thereby increasing Ontario farmers' annual income by$10,000,000.
Hepburn Promised the Farmers :
A string of cold storage warehouses across Ontario, for the benefit of the
farmer.
What Hepburn Did:
Nothing 1
Hepburn Promised the Farmers:
Reduced taxation.
What Hepburn Did:
He collected in taxation 80% more than was collected in the last year of
the Conservative Government, of which the farmers paid their share.
What is Sauce for the Goose
... Is Sauce for the Gander
BUT—while Mr. Hepburn was saying
to the farmer "you must stand on your
own feet" and was cutting off $300,000
in agricultural bonuses, he was passing
on a bonus to Sir James Dunn of the
Algoma Steel Corporation of almost a
like amount of the taxpayer& money.
o
E
Agriculture and industry are both
vitally necessary to the prosperity and
welfare of the Canadian people. The
farmer says, however, that "what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander—why take away our bonus to
bonus Sir James Dunn?"

Marriage.
Ruth liked he rnewv work, and
soon settled down to it, It was
necessary dor her to sell a great
deal of her father's !furniture, and
move to two sanall rooms at Clap-
ham, and dna way it wee a relief to
get away irom the. flat which held
so enany memories of her father,
Moving to a new place, and taking
up shah an entirely different lite
Pere that Which site had previously
•
led made things more bearable tor
her. It was as though she had
turned over a fresh page in the
book of life. The past was there,
all the time, at the back of her con-
sciousness, and in the holy places
of her heart, but she tried not Lo
furs to it too often, for fear that it
would conquer, and the loneliness
become too much for her to bear.
Sometimes she wondered what
had happened to Boris Quentin, and
thought of writing to him to tell
him her new address, hut it would
be so much like re -opening the cid
wounds that she continually delay-
ed doing so.
And then. one day, she met him
again,
" It was at Picadilly Circus, one
lunch time. Her office was quite
• close, and after her usual light
lunch she had gone for a walk, to
look at the shops.
As she was gazing In one of the
big plate -glass windows, sbe felt a
touch on her arm, and turned to find
herself face to face with Boris, who
was Iooking at her eagerly,
"Ruth --it is you, then! I caught
sight of you as I was passing.
' he`1 have you been hiding your -
She coloured under his searching
eyes. and yet she felt a thrill of
pleasure, as well as of pain. as she
looked at his familiar tate. Here,
at leant, was a friend from the
dear dead past, She had not real-
ised the full extent of her own lone-
liness, her own ache for osmeone to
talk to about her father, and the
other things that had been sealed
up in her heart for so long, until
sbe heard Boris's familiar voice.
He looked older than he had done
at the caravan—but that, probably,
was due to the fact that he was
(lvtelaalnk eonv)emtipnal elothesi—a
dark lounge suit and overcoat, and
a soft felt hat. Under his arum he
carried a vdoLin case,
"I haven't been hiding," eche told
him, with a senile, holding out, her
hand, "I had to move --that was 811.
I intended to write to you, but
sbnnehow—well—the letter did not
manage to get written. But it Ls
nice t0 meet you again,"
"Is it?" His voice was eager,
and the light whirh sprang into his
dark eyes told her that his feeling
for her had not changed, "I can't
tell you how glad I am to see you.
I began to think I should never
meet you again—and yet I have al-
ways had a feeling that fate intend-
ed otherwise, Ent, I say, I am keep-
ing you standing here when we
might be having some lunch I o-
gether— that is, it you will honour
me. Don't say 'No'—it seems such
ages since we met, and I want to
hear all your news, and to •tell you
mine.',
"I should have loved .to come,"
Ruth told him, "But I have just
had my lunch. And it is getting
late, I must hurry back to the
office, I'm afraid,"
"The office?"
"Yes—I have a Joh in the studio
of an Advertising Agency—liaid-
rick's. I had to do something."
"As bad as that? Poor kid. I'm
frightfully sorry."
"Thank you, but you needn't bo,"
she told him, with a rather wistful
smile, "I like it tremendously.
It's 'commercialized art,' of course
but In my spare time I am working
at a watercolour, which I hope to
submit to the Young Artists' Exhi-
bition,"
"Splendid! 'I hope It will win a
fat prize—and fame, which is still
more Important,"
"But wbat about yourself?" she
asked him, "What are you doing?"
"Oft, my food is on the first rung
I think! I have a Joh in the
Beaconsfield Symphony Orchestra—
and the director is very flattering.
I have Just conte from rehearsal."
They chatted together for a few
minutes longer, then Ruth, with a
glance at her watch, said she must
fly.
"Weld, I don't intend to lose you +
again, now that I have found yos; "
Boris informed her. "Won't you
conte out to dinner with ane to-
night? We will go to one of those
jolly little ,Soho places—cheap and
cheerful. Do come."
Iiutlt accepted gladly, surprise,1
at the pleasure it gave her to think
of spending an evening twitla Ib
friend from the past, and 1t was ar-
ranged that lie should meet Ilea' out,
side her office.
411 that afternoon, as she bent
above her dt'awingboard, men -00o
of the past, roused by the encounter
with Boris, thronged her mind,
Her thoughts lingered about the
pleasant old house in Kent, which
had been the setting of so much
drama in her lite,
she thought of Cynthia, and of
Hugh. No doubt they were ntar•
tied by this time, and living there
together. She felt a sharp pain at
ber heart, as she saw a picture of
Hugh coating back from town every
evening, •Cynthia eneeting him on
the steps with face upturned for his
.kiss, of the two of them going arm
in atsn into the peaceful old house
and dining together in the mellow
caadleldght In the long dining -room,
with a great log fire burning on the
hearth.
A pang of envy shot through her
—envy of Cynthia, mho had so mrch
even love—while she, Rdth, had
nothing. But instantly she was
ashamed of it, .telling herself that
Cynthia deserved all the happiness
that could possibly come to her.
She had written once to Cynthia
—a long letter, expressing her
gratitude for all that the other girl
had done for her, With it she had
sent a picture of her own—a deli-
cate water-colour of the old house
painted from memory. It was the
best work she had ever done, for
the whole heart ha dbeen in it.
Iu the letter she had 101
