Not much doubt about this. :• ,4 'muse Provincial high wart. may be a ^w fine thing for those located along the route and the huudreds of tourists, with their $3,uuo automobiles, but where the "far -offers" are going to get auytbing out of it is not easily ciphered out. As the outcome of much discussion Holland is asked by the Allies to sur- render the recently deposed Kaiser, who has sought refuge from his friends and foes with his neighbors. He is wanted to answer to a long lliet of charges. LADY HEARS(' urged Provincial Pro. Whitton be kept in effect in speaking at a W. C. T. U. Bazaar. This may keep the Premier in the right way, We would like to know who are opposed to Prohibition outside of those immediately connected with the traffic or a few who care little whether the moral tone of the country is good or bad. HERBERT H. ASQUI1'ir, Liberal leader and former premier in England, is being opposed by Mrs. G. E. Hope, for lis seat. She is widow of Col. Hope, who was killed in the war. One of the planks in her platform is that the ex - Kaiser be brought to England and tried es a murderer. Let us hope her wish may be gratified even if she is not per- mitted to keen the Asquith seat warm in parliament. Lively times are ahead. A somewhat noted individual recently departed this life in the person of Joseph Smith, of Salt Lake City, Utah, aged So years, HeWAS one of the leaders among the Mormons and for the sake of setting the pace for his followers he married s wives and had the tidy number of 43 kiddies on the family register. For several years he sat in the Utah Legis- lature and had travelled extensively. Mr. Smith was said to be a man of wealth. SOUTH Africa proved herself to be very ready to accord hearty support to the British Empire in the late war, not- withstanding the fact that they had been well "spanked" a few years ago by john Bull after a stiff conflict. Their losses in fighting the Huns were Officers kilted 313, men 6,330 ; wounded, 11,662 ; prisoners, 334; missing 293. 250,000 men in all were lined up under the Union jack, indisputable proof of great Britain's ability and tact as a col- onizer. Now that the war is over it cannot longer he used as a bluff for delays in forward movements sidetracked on ac- count of everything going for the sup - Port of the Em1 days The da s of use- fulness of the Union Government are evidently at an end and both political parties appear to be on the lookout for an open gap to get through the fence. There bas been uo shortage of talk over what was going to be done when the war ended. If a modicum of the proposals are to be put into practice now is a good time to begin, PERU may feel decidely chilly if sbe receives a cooling off by Chile. Your Iittle squabbling is a give-away on your neighborliness. Keep the chip off your shoulder, play a give-and-take game and you will be happier and win plaudits. A "scrappy" individnal in the neighbor- 11o0d might take the same advice and profit by it. Life is too short to go through it with a grouch and ever on the look -out for unintended offence. Be an optimist and get your shoulder under as m.1nv people's burdens as pos- sible. Hon. "Boa" ROGERs was banquetted at Toronto lest week when 75o dined at the King Edward, with Mayor Church in the chair. If half that was said about the guest of the evening is true he is oneof the finest fellows on top of the earth and if half of what has been said and written of his past political record is the gospel he will not require a marble shaft to perpetuate his memory, It looks as if things were being got ready for the next Dominion Election and Mr. Rogers is probably the strongest manipu- lator among the Conservative men be- fore the public, even if some methods are decidedly shady` 0 New Yoitx Times in answer to a question from St. Louis as to what se= purity the United States hes for the bal- ance of money she has loaned Great Britain gives the following hot shot to the questioner: --"The security of a sublime courage, as invincible a spirit, as unwavering a faith and as knightly an example of self sacrifice as the annals of the human race record."

CANADIAN courage and valor have often been portrayed as events have transpired in the arena of the battle- field, It is not only surprising but worthy of the most marked emphasis that the Canucks in the past a years never lost a gun, never failed to take an objective and never failed to hold posi- tions once consolidated. The toll for such intrepidity was great but the bots won a name for heroism that will adorn history; pages and place them in the list of genuine heroes who did their duty for the Empire as only brave tnen know how. When can their glory fade? CANAL A is following the exeelleut plan adop'ed last year by the United States and issued War Savings and Thrift Stamps. By this means not only will the Canadian Government, it is hoped, secure moneys that can be profitably ex pearled iu the reconstruction period, but the War Savings plan offers to a shall investor an absolutely safe security at an excellent rate of interest. This scheme will encourage saving and thrift among all classes of the community, rich and poor alike, 'these stamps will be on sale in post t ffices, hanks and other authorized agencies.

The outstanding feature of the con- stitution is the provision for the ap; pointment of a General Advisory Committee. Committee is to be com- posed of officers of the ..ssoeiatiou, the Federal and Provincial members and 02 members to be elected by delegates from each constituency, More than 200 delegates attended the organization meeting and express- ed confidence in the leadership of Right Hon, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who replied briefly, Resolutions were adopted regarding the rights of soldiers and sailors ; con- gratulatiug the sut•vivors of the Cana- dian army ;'and calling attention to the importance of industrial recon- struction. The "War Time Elections Act" was condemned in another res• olulion, the meeting also expressing "abhorrence at govet'nment by melee: itt COUDcil." W. 0. Kennedy, M, P,, called the gathering to order and George S. Gibbons, Loudon, Ontario, was ap- pointed Chairman. Subsequently Mr, Kennedy explained the steps taken to inaugurate the Association, calling attention to the fact that should the meeting be a success other district Liberal Association would be formed throughout the Province, Outstanding feature of the constitu- tion, a tIraft oratline of which was presented by D, C. Ross, 141. P., West Middlesex, was alt articleproviding Inc the appointment of a General Ad- visory Council, composed of the Hon- ovary Presidents, the Presidents, First, Second, Third and Fonrth Vice Presidents, Secretary -Treasurer, to- gether with the Liberal Federal 51111 Provincial members of Parliament and 62 members shall be nominated, 2 by the delegates feom each constitu- ency. An Executive Committee of 81 members shall be appointed from the,, members of the General Advisory Council, and such members shall be appointed by each eolstitueticy, des• ignating a member to the General Advisory Council, who is to act on the eaid Executive.

Ot, Cody, Mhtietee of .lett to to ion, announced that he had rte'eived from a cumber of School Boards and teachers throughout the. Province, en. guilies as to how tite schools could stake up the loss of time occasioned by the iufiuenztu epidemic. Hon, Dr, Oody said :—"I have Ile. aided to issue to Sehool Boards, In- spectol's and teachers; a short chain lar to the effect that we will not hold any of the departmental examina-- tiots in the tumuli of June 1910,.so that the second term of the school year will be longer than it lute been for several years. A list of the dates for holiding the various examinations appear in the circular. I believe that with this occasion and with the pro- visions made in the regulations for the conduct. of these examinations no ill effects upon the school work of the interruptions that have occurred nifty be reasonably well overcome. Fur- ther more, as Easter (text year will be nearly 3 weeks later than it was this year, it will be unnecessary to amend the Farm regulations excepting to provide that ,the teachers' examina- tions may be held in the week follow- ing the Easter. holidays. I do not feel that we should encroach upon the holidays of the pupils if it can be avoided, Irl -view of the unavoidable interrup- tions to school work which have tak- en place during the current half year, the holding of tete mid-Sumuner ex- aminations will be deferred in most cases a fortnight, initial time in 1019 for each examination being as fol. lows :— Jksuinr High School Entrance, July 2nr ; Junior Public School graduation June 30th ; Lower School, July 2nd ; ;1tttldle School, July llth ; pass Ma- triculation, July End ; tippet.

Independent Telephones Tht Weekly Sun gives the following report of the annual Convention of the 1;udebendent Telephone Associa- 11011 With independent telephones in Outalio representing an investment of from $0,000.000 to $7,000,000, the annual Oonveetiou of the Canadian Independent Telephone Association becomes a meeting of no mean signi- ficauce, but during the past few year's the attendance has peen dwindling, until last Convention it brought out a merely audful. It is only through the work of the association, which, has been in effect a very definite form of co-opera- tion, that rural Ontario has in the.. past 10 year's been laced to its remotest points by the slender thread of the telephone wire. Safely entrenched behind a most favorable nfratiellise, the Bell company steadily refused to supply a rute'service— literally forc- ing the establishment of rural lines. Through the Ontario - Railway Board and its telephone expert, Frau- cis Dagger, the Association has been able to secure most efficient telephone legislation so far as the power of the Province extends, but all legislative favors Of they call be classed as such) appear to have stopped short with the Province ; ,and the Federal Govern- ment has turned acold shoulder to the appeals of the Iudeindent companies many of which are municipal enter- prises. . 111nst sigtiifiearyt was the remarkable report of F.

Hotenn, Inner - kip ; Auditors, Geo, Tait and R, A, Harrison, Sicca our last Oonvention the United States Government has taken over alI telegraph and telephone lines in that country, and it is not drawing too touch on our imagination to en- tertain the thought that it is possible that this will mean a permatlen1 con- dition of Government ownership of telephone and telegraph lines in the American Republic" declared Seer*. tat A, 'Hoover in his annual report.

I do not intend to discuss the question of Government ownership, but I only want to say that, !f any plans for Goveruiuent ownership or for lung. distance Government telephone ser- vice is brought' before the people it is of the utmost importance that the localsystents should be so organized in order to present their claims and their rights in the best possible form." Inpreased cost of operation due to the war has made it necessary for many companies to increase their rates. Mr. Hoover said the Associa- tion should uee its efforts hl securing for any company an increased rate where necessary to furnish adequate service and to realize a reasonable re- turn, The increased rates asked for by the Bell Telephone Company from the Board of Railway Onmmissionere would undoubtedly affect many of the independent companies. ''It should be remembered," he said, "that the local companies are giving service, at it eery much lower rate than the Bell Oompapy in the majority of instances. I do not feel that the association would be justified in mak- ing a protest on behalf of these com- panies, who are compelled to pay a surcharge of ten cents on all long dis- tance messages in addition to a com- pensation fee of $100 to $300 annually for long distance connection. If the Bell is granted au increase in their present long distance rate, then we ave doubly entitled to the amendment to the Railway Act that we asked for last year " A few independents had sold out to the Bell because they could nob pay a dividend satisfactory to their share- holders, reported President F. S. Scott. "I am of the opinion that it all our independent companies were municipal there would be none sell- ing," he observed, Dr. Doan commented in passing on the frequency with which the Hydro Electric Commission built their power i o-. di-., � Jones Expert Watchmaker Has returned to Brussels and is prepared to do all kinds of Watch and Clock Work Yours may be a capable time- keeper but by incompetent re- pairing you have lost l'aith in it.

ARE NOW FREE TO COME BACK HOME "FLUNKERS OF WORST TYPE," SAY OFFICERS Military defaulters—sten who have defied the military .authorities and registrars of the Military Service Act since the inception of conscrip- tion—are free ttten, free to return home, and immune from punishment, Orders from the Adjutant -General at Ottawa were received at military headquarters stating that no further arrests of defaulters under the Ni, S. A, are to be made and all proceedings a- gainst defaulters are to be stooped, except in cases where bribery has been committed to obtain _exeutption, where every effort will be made to obtain a conviction, This new order has caused much surprise among military men who have been doing everything in their power to bring defaulters to Jus- tice. "Defaulters are wore than conscientious objectors," stated one military officer. "They are "think- ers" of the worst type, The objector has to serve his term in the peniten- tiary, but the man who failed to re- port when ordered is pertnittted to return home and escape punishment Six Clashes There are six classes of defaulters listed under the M. S, Ai They are: 1. Men who have failed to com- ply with tate proclamation of October 13, 1917, Men en who have reported for service or claimed exemption under the M, S. A., who have failed to report for medical examination when or- dered to do so." "3. Men who, having been ordered to report for duty, failed to do so." "4. Men who, having been taken on the strength of.ti unit of the C, E, F. or of the active militia, either a5 a volunteer or drafted, and either before or after the issue of the proclama- tion, are now or hereafter absentees without leave, "5. Men who have been granted leave of absence and who failed to ,comply with conditions upon which their leave was granted," "6. Men added to Class 1 by ex- tension of the M, S, A., who failed to report orregisteras required." Moses I3`dlsinger, Reeve of the town- Ship of Carrick, which is almost entirely populated by persons of German descent, Was fined 8300 end costs by Magistrates Chapman, of Port Elgin, and McI:tosb, Southampton, at the town hall, Walker- ton, Thursday, for disloyal and seditious utterances made in the village of MiIcl' may early in lune. Fiisinger, who was about to board the train as a delegate 'from Carrick to the farmer's Convention in Toronto to protest against tate 'draft - ng of farmers' sous, said in conversation with 2 :ten that Bordeu, was selling Canatlian soldiers in England for "$8 apiece" like tittle pigs, lle.admitted in court snaking this statement, but claim- ed to hews heard it while attending a previous fanners' convention at Ottawa. The magistrates in imposing a fine said they had seriously considered giving F!Isinger 3 months in jell As Weil, but on further consideration lead decided to forego the prlsou term.
