This makes a fine outing and the extended time gives a chance to visit friends further East. EDITORIAL, NOTES 5vvRY farmer, either young or more advanced in. life, should take in the annual excursion to the Experi- mental Farm at Guelph on Saturday of this week. The features of the trip are—a special train, low fares, tickets good until Monday , and a day of in- struction and practical knowledge that should put into play many hints con- vertable into money-makers in a speedy manner. w*w: There is no dearth of Garden Par- ties, Pic -nits and Excuzsions this month and those who attempt to patronize the majority of them will have a busy time. While some dis- count using such gatherings as money makers there is no doubt bub that the cultivation of our social natures is of real value and these functions do much. to cushion the seats occupied by the good people of Huron and adjoining Counties. A PLAN is on foot. by which Barris- ter Rowell and a miurber of Ontario Liberals will tong the Northerly por- tion of the Province and see for them- selves the land so much in the public eye. Meetings will be held and ban- quets tendered at the various points. A practical acquaintance with our Northerly heritage in New Ontario will he of value to the Liberal M. P. P's. and aid them in discussions in the House. „*. PROBABLY never before in the his- tory of this Province have the various ' official church bodies pronounced as positively on public questions as have been resolutions passed expressive of support of the proposal of N. W. Rowell in connection with "Banishing the Bar," at the gatherings held oil June. There is no uncertainty about Mr. Rowell and` the leaders of the various churches have anew hope in the policy he has so cleanly enunci- ated. 17NTIL the railways can arrange 0. more prompt and rapid method of getting excursionists to their respec- tive homes after the day is over thero will be some difficuly in securing testimonials of satisfaction' from the - patrons. As au instance the steamer, Greyhound arrived at Goderich Mon- day night at 11.30 o'clock and the G. T, R. train supposed to leave on curl- val of boat did not pull oub until 1.30 a. m. Who was to blame for such a tedious and long delayed sta3t is not known to us but it is an injustice to the travelling public that should nob be allowed to exist and. mars mueh'of the pleasure of what otherwise would have be a most enjoyable outing. The denseness of the railway officials to supply desired lnfoematiou of the hour of departure of train is one of the marvels of the 20th century, Somebody should get after the delin- quents and stir them up with a sharp stick. -Church Chimes Rev, E. H. Croly 13, A , of Wingham will take charge of the services at St, John's church next Sunday, June egrd. Next Sabbath the regular services ill the Methodist church will be conducted by Rev. J. R.
