Bir Doneet, former Cnns, nv:,ttiv,e meth her. broadcast to Canaria and to ;.he world th alleged tory of a trots, made by th government Alp "Mar 'aret" with the Hon. Ernest Lapoiet on board. The details of the story are Munn t retial. To all Canada was given th antpressiou tht the former minister o justice participated in an orgy of "trine, women and song" of the ail est character. It was even represent- ed that as one of tate guests on the ship there was present "the reputed proprietess of a supposed famous es- tablishment in Montreal." Nothing more damaging, if true. or more damnable if untrue, was ever circut- ated concerning a public man 0r con- cerning any man. 'This damnable story was t..ld on Mr. Meighen's platform and in his presence, not once, but on several oc- casions. It came to be a regular part of the performance. It is hardly credible that it was told on the first occasion without Mr. Meighen know- ing something of it in advance. When it was told a second time in ]lis pres- ence, Mr. Meighen was equally re- sponsible with his follower Doucet. It will be no excuse for Mr. Meig- hen to say that he did not know the story to be untrue. He did not know that it was true. Anyone who is party to the circulation of a story such as this without being n_ ositive that it is true is guilty beyond words. Further, Mr•, Meighen knew Mr. Te ip- ointe. He knew that Mr. Lapointe i, an honorable man, the devoted hus- band of a talented woman. Mr. Mei- ghen knew without any evidence that .the story so far as Mr. Lapointe was concerned was untrue. Notwith_tand- ing, Mr. Meighen, prime minister of Canada, uttered no protest. Night after night he sat on the platform and heard hie follower slander away the reputation and happiness of an honorable man. He did nothing to stop this vile thing. When challeng- ed by Mr. Lapointe, Mr. Meighen's statement was not a repudiation of the scandal, but was of such a char- acter that the position was worse than before. Now the story of the '"Margaret" its denied and disproved by the sworn evidence, not only of Mr. Lapointe 1 and of Mr. Bureau, but of the cap- tain of the boat. Not only that but the whole matter was investigated by. Mr. Calder, e 1 r the government c g t ounsel , assisted by Mr. O'Connor, an ultra - Tory lawyer, appointed by the pres- ent government, and by Inspector Duncan, and after such investtgatinn Mr. Calder made the following state- ment: "After having examined all documents and after Mr. Dun- can, Mr. O'Connor and myself having taken note of all relevant evidence and the crew of the Margaret having been examined, I wish to declare publicly and categorically that no incident oc- curred aboard the Margaret which could be reproached against the persons named, who - tiler Mr, Lapointe, 'Mr, Bureau or any of their companions." , Mr. M'oigdlen can never make re- paration to MU'. Lapointe for the Tet- i_ etre 'One tel hire. t ; Mia M iahen can never malt! re•- arclt:en to th people of Canada for h,• wrong done to them. - J Every than who lives a clean devout life• will put himself in the place er _ lir.

Every woman who is the wife of a , decent and honorable man will put r- herst-if in the place of Madame itt,ittte and staffer in imagination the >maller part of the agony- and sorrow _ elm wnuld haye experienced had this; c, s`nl•v been told of the amu she loves Or and honor's. This story was told of a public ser- - vast—a mtmister of justice—and the people of Canada have been humilimi ted and wronged by what was said o{' their representative. The responsibility for the story rests not with the miserable Doueet. 1 it rests with the prime minmster of Canada, who is as guilty as if be had utterer) the words himself. The people of Canada were humiliated and outraged by the action of their prime. minister. ' There is only one thing blit'.•Meig hen can do. It will not make r'par- ation, but it should be don,. never- theless. Mr. Meighen should apolo- gize humbly and abjectly to Mr. La- pointe and to the people of Canada.: This will not excuse Mr. Meighen. It may help to save the honor of the Canadian nation which has been deep- ly injured. The apology should cnme without delay and without rorei•en- tion. WESTERN FAIR, LONDON Sept. llth to 18th . Exhibition time will soon be here. Already hundreds of entries are pouring into the executive offices of the Western Fair and space for ex- hibitors and concessions are being taken• up rapidly. Workmen are busy on the Fair Grounds, which resound with the ring of hammers and sounds of industry and construction. .Never before has such interest• been shown in the Western Fair and never before have so many entries been r,ecei,/"l so far ahead. The 1925 Exhibition promises to far sur- pass any previous year. Many improvements have been made both in buildings and g•'ounds and everything possible is being done to increase the attractiveness trill in- terest of Western Ontario's largest exhibition. Exhibitors are busily engaged in erecting booths and displays and are vieing with each other for beauty and artistic results. The Western .t set Fair t a t � corneas Brei g prize list is attracting exhibitors from far 9 - afield afield and many . interesting• mitres have been received from Ended 1 States and all parts of Car�t.c, The Grand Stand perfo•mncee and t ever popular fire -works display will n he enlarged on and improved and time m midway, with numerous superior tit- h tractions, will be the largest ever seen \ here. An exceptional attendance is ex- e petted and the Fair Board are, busy making arrangements to oare for a crowd larger even than the record year of 1925. The 'Secretary, Mr. W. D.

She was lonely she w'a glad to be offered a home, bat, mor than that, she crave) for affection. "I will give you everything that aught to make a woman happy," Pey- ton told her. "The'r'e is my mother, old and railing, and the two little orphan children of my sister. Would you feel it too burdensome to become mistress of my boon and look after these helpless ones?" "You honor roe greatly," replied Net- tie, "hat am I worthy of, or equal to the occasion? You were a good friend to my father, Mr. Peyton; you have done everything possible for me to soft- en the blow of his death. Who would int feel bound to yon and to your in- terests after that?" "'Then you are willing to rest ;teem lest in with mine?" asked Peyton plain- ly. "Yes, Mr. Peyton," and Nellie be_ tame the mistress of the old family home. It was trying at the first, f- • old Mrs. Peyton was loath to give um, to old age and feebleness. The chil- dren, too• at first resented the geld - once of a stranger. A month after they were married Peyton came home one evening with news that troubled Nellie greatly. His firm had a branch In Brazil; its manager had peculated and absconded and had left the busi- ness in a complicated condition. Some- one must go and straighten nut af- fairs, or the entire inrestnlrnt would be lost. "I have decided that the Brazil end of our business needs the more than this end," be told her, "and I shall leave tomorrow night." "I hope it will not be a long ab- sence," said Nellie, and his heart warmed at the manifest sincerity of her words. "1 fear so," he replied—"at least a year. I shell leave you apply provid- ed for and I want you to sustain no onerous duties.

L. Snaith, former editor of the " ]+'arreter's Sun", writes that he will be surprised if the aggregate wheat eretp of the Prairie Provinces falls below 400,000,1100 bushels. "It will not be surprising if the 500,000,000 mark is pearly reached," states 01r. Smith, , Eleven hundred farms will be needed next year to accommodate the British settlers who will be brought to western Canada, ac- cording to Major E. J. Ashton, commissioner of the Soldiers' Sett- lers Board. So far this year 1,430 families were placed on farms in the prairie provinces by this or- ganization. Hops to the value of $400,000 were shipped from the Prince Albert dis- trict in 1925. This sum was far in advance of that received the previ- ous year and the increase was due to a considerable extent to the activi- ties of the agricultural society boost- ing hog production. This year the hog raisers' slogan -is one million dollars worth of hogs, and from present indications this nark 15 more than likely to be attained. • Arrangements for the export of large quantities of British Columbia seed potatoes to California are be- ing made by a potato grower of that state. The British Columbia pota- toes are desired in California for seed purposes because they intro, duce new strength into lihe south- ern strain. Experiments were made with Canadian grown seed last year in California and growers were well satisfied with the results. A flock of 46 sheep, comprising 35 ewes and 11 rams, has been pur- chased by an official of the Domin- ion Government under -instruction from the Soviet Government for dis- patch to Vladivostok, as soon as arrangements can be made for their shipment. Last year quite a num- ber of prize-winning cattle were shipped from British Columbia to Russia and this new order indicates that previous shipments have been satisfactory. Many valuable shipments of furs from the great trapping areas of the Hudson Bay Company are ar- riving through the Dominion Ex- press at Montreal. These unim- posing hales, piled high on the trucks often represent a total value of $200,000. After being collected at the various Hudson Bay posts along Hudson Bay and Jaalea Bay the furs are brought down by canoe in summer and dog team in winter to the northern terminus of the T. and 0. Railway. Remarkable expansion of passen- ger traffic into and out of Mont- real has been reported during July and August by the passenger de- partment of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The "Red Wing" and the "Alouette" on the Boston run and the "Rideau" and "York" to To- ronto,' four new trains de -luxe placed on these routes early in the year *have been running with capa- city loads. Eastward to Quebec there is heavy traffic for the An- cient Capital, while trains running north into the Laurentians, it is stated, have never been so filled as it the case this summer. A muscalunge„ 35 pounds in weight, with a length of 50 inches and a girth of 21 inches, was taken from the French River near the French River Bungalow Camp re- cently, according to information re- ceived by the tourist department of the Canadian Pacific Railway. 'phis fine fish was taken by E. A. Farintosh of New York with a 30 - lb. silk test line and using Chub Minnow bait. To date this is the largest fish caught this year to be entered in the anneal Frencli River, Bungalow CanpeTrophy competi. flop. I Ventilation of tbt Apple Warenouso In order to provide the necessary ssary .ventilation for an apple warehouse, direct tight outlet flues from the col- ing of the room to be ventilated to the highest outside point in the roof nr ce sttary, It is estimated that an apple storage house should have, for each 1200 cubic feet of storage -room volume., ono square foot of outlet, The intakes are of equal impor- tance and one square .foot of tar in - talc! is necessary for each 700 cuiiie feet of storage volume. In a ware- house measuring 100 feet by 40 beret there are usually rive to sire doors, and if these be furnished with lattic- ed openings they will provide the neeessary intakes, The peed for leaving, doors open at night has not been fully appreciated. Were, larger outlets provided much of the diltatil. Memorable Events in, the histortg of tire Empit'e. ty ehan'eS Con Drake's Voyage Around the World 'three hundred and forty-eight years ago, on the 21st Augu: e .1egg, Sir Francis Drake soiled into the Strait of Magellan, the pal:: te'e of which was the prelude to tie. great outstanding event of his adventurous career, namely the circumnavigation of the globe, Dr'aper's father was a country cler- gyman, who entrusted the education of ]tis son to a kinsman, Sir John Hawkins, one of the most fatno. s of the great Elizabethan mariners, and at an early age the boy accompanied his relative to sea, where be speedily proved a daring and skilful sailor, He became the captain of his own ship at the age of 22, and during th:- next ten years he led many expedi- tions to the New World, where he att'uck terror into the heart, of the Spaniards by his bold attacks on their posses; ions :uk1 shipping, ITe was only 32 when he • embark- ed on the most memorable of his many voyages. He left England on the 13th December 1577 on hoard "The Golden Blind," and was accom- panied by four other smxil vessels from which he 'soon parted, after passing through the perilous Strait of Magellan into the Pacific Octan, where he carried the British Rag for the first time, lie sailed northwards and waylaid and plundered several treasure -ship+ homeward bound with cargoes of gold, silver and precious stones from the Spanish possosions in Chili and Peru. His booty amount- ed to neatly a million pounds in val- ue, so he very prudently decided not to run the risk of returning home through the Strait of Magellan, where he knew the infuriated Span- iards would be lying in wait for him, and he proceeded northward up the -nee Ameriean coast in the hope 01' finding a pa—:.me hack to England 1lu�,tt,ih the Arcntii' seas. Failing in 1t'; yileet he boldly steered his ship w,•.,tw:u,1 across the unchartered water: of the Pacific', and after passing trough the Aridity Archipellio and the Inds: n Ocean he rounded the Cape of Good hope, arriving• safely in England with his spoil after an eb:senec of two -years and ten months. Shortly after his return Queen Elizabeth, wearing the jewels which Drake had presented to her, visited "The Golden Hind" and upon the deck of the sturdy little shin see eon- ferrcd they honor of knighthood upon its gallant commander. The romantic daring of Drake's vayagr around the• world, the first made by a British mariner, and the tremendous value of his booty, Darn- ed for hint undying fame, and the fact that Magellan, the Portttgesa sailor, who had left Europe in cont- ra:tad of the only other ships wh:eh had up to that time circmnnavigated the globe, hod died during the voy- age, stave Drake the additional hon- or of being the first commander to roil his ship completely around the, world. • In 1585, when the coasts of Eng- land were threatened by the formid- able Spanish Armada, Drakm was that vire-admiral of the little British fleet which played such havoc with the mighty galleons of Spain, and he sub- sequently commanded several ftit•ther expeditions against the Spanish pos- sessions in the New World, It was in the course of one of these voy- ages that he died on hoar,) his shin in the West Indies at the age of 50, and he was buried at sea, leaving be- hind1' I nn a thrilling record of daring deeds which helped to make the reign of Queen Elizabeth one of the most glorious in British history, tyt now experienced in keeping apple DEFEATED BY RIDICULE storage -houses cool would be over- come, The outlets and intakes indicated will provide for an air -movement equivalent to three complete chang- es of air per hour. If air is entering a room at 44 degrees and leaving it at 50 degrees it is estimated that a volume of air 1000 times the vol- ume of the apples is necessary to cool the apples from a temperature of 60 to that of •50 degrees. This in- dicates the importance of placing the apples in storage in the cool of the morning, rather than when they, are warm from the day temperature. Records at the Dominion Experi- mental Station at Kentptville for a period of twelve years show a differ- ence between the average daily mini- mum and maximum temperatures or 20.3 degrees Fahr. for September, 16.75 for October, 11.79 for Novem ben and 10.43 for December, with mean minimum temperature of 46.- 92 6:92 degrees for September, 40.7" for October, 30.69 for November and 19,51 for Deretttber. This indicates that a imitable storage tenperatttte is possible if all possible ventilation is provided during cool nights, and the warehouse kept cosed during t.hc warm part of the day.

SILVER AND MIST For the young girl a dance •;ccs; of silver lace and white tulle is a suitable expression. of her youth and innocence. The simple round reel: line and bouffant skirt is a strictly debutant style in this type of frock. GREEK WOMEN MAY NOW FOL- LOW FASHION'S DkICREL. Police Arrested Daughter of a Judge Because She Wore Short Skirt— Society Forced Gen. 1'angatos to Rescind Edict. Recently a young woman was ar- rested in the streets of Athens be- cause her. skirt was fifteen inches above the ground. She was tried and sentenced to twenty-four hours' im- prisonment. A few days later the decree under whose provisions she had been detained was rescinded, It had been passed by Gen. Pangalos, formerly military dictator and now President of Greece. It has been Bald that anything can be done by act of Parliament except change a man into a woman. Dictatorships, however, seem unable to prevent a woman changing herself into a man if she chooses. Eton crops, abbreviat- ed kilts and boyish figures are evi- dently phenomena beyond the control of any form of man-made authority. The latest fashion in skirts can defy the latest fashion in Governments. The dressmaker is the real dictator, says the New York Times. Gen. Pangalos, in all that ordinar- ily constitutes a dictator, was a Balkan Mussolini, While he stayed in his own field he was adequate, if not Olympian. But this austere man, confronted with the spectacle of modern women, looked on her work (which is herself) and found it bad. He decided to alter her. In the mat- ter of dross the Greek woman G ak take s second place to none; She wenas Paris frocks and London sport's models, and these are always the fashions of to -day, not of last week, When. Paris decided that waist lutes must be moved, Athens fokowed suit. When the feminine skirt, like some great tide actuated by whatever mys- terious planet 0011t1'01S such filings, ebbed from ankles Io Pelves anti from calves to knees, the Greek woman also proceeded to reveal more of herself. Gen. Pengalos, like King Canute, thought to May the tide. It is not known whether he took coup-. eel With his a,lvisrt;K in the greet, skirt INOTICb TO CREDITORS. ---In the matter of the estate of Oliver Harrier rote of the Township of Grey, an the County of Huron, far., mer, deeennerl \ur u•'-,+ln, I t tt, d P'n•-anon to '"i'ho lie v,+ul -tort f Untn,in," e'hnptnr Up, ILnr,l It ,•.d,t•,e, hail ,ohms halving nielli nvnin•.r (to. ,,.rot" or tit, ..n1,1 Ohver fiarris, tt 11, .I„+i „n en• nl:"ht the Ntnr•ternth lay eI'Joiv, 1 t into, arc rrquirrd on or heron. th.

The head of that excellent force warned the Government that be must have female assistance, "Measuring the skirts of ladies,” he declared, "is not a suitable em- ployment for men. His representa- tions resulted in the apitointnlent of two women inspectors, Gen. Panga- los, having put Fashion in her place, decided that while he was about it he might as well regulate morals and suppress sex. Hard upon the heels of the skirt decree followed an edict closing all dance halls and ordering , premises of any and all kinds to shut by 1 a.in. Another regulation forbade girls under age and children of both sexes to walk in the streets after 10 at night, The good citizens of Athens seemed in danger of being regulated to death. lfeanwhile, In Paris and New York skirts were be- coming shorter and shorter. They had long said good-bye to the wear- er's ankles: Fair Athenians decided to let the law go hang. This was no more titan the pollee (who, after all, know something of human nature) had expected. They winked at it and apparently did no- thing for as long a time as they dared, When they were finally urg- ed into action (for dictators must have their way sooner or later) the police acted summarily Indeed. They arrested no less a person than Miss Vogiatzi, daughter of a judge of the Court of Appeal in Athens. Was it blundering and ineptitude that prompted the police to choose a horrible example from such an influ- ential class. Or was it? At any rate, Miss Vogiatzi had been arrested. The arrest had occurred in broad [111Y - light and caused a sensation. Her skirt was undeniably more than four- teen inches from the ground. It might have been urged, of course, that this garment was not so very brief after all. It was full, pleated and plaid, New York would have called it old-fashioned. Still the law hacl been broken, and justice must be done, Miss Vogiatzi was taken to a police tribunal and remanded in custody for twenty-four hours. She was then found guilty. Hisses from the large eaidienie in court testified to the unpopularity of the decree. There was an outburst of indignation from Athens society over this indignity that had been visited on one of Its members, Gen.

Eight days later the great skirt decree was rescinded. The edict closing Placers of ai»lise.- nlent also went by the board. Athenians again became masters 01 their morals and their wives mis- tresses of their wardrobes. , The police threw away their measuring tapes. As far as the law is concern- ed, Greek women ntay now walk abroad happy to the knowledge that their skirts need be regulated only by the exigencies of the climate and the prevailing abode.
