We don't know whether the wearing of the kilts will be necessary in the Commons but we trust no attempt will be made to outshine our owe Sir Sam, but two sups ie one sky is going some. AFTER wasting a great deal of energy and hot air the city of Berlin, Ont., pass- ed off the map and Kite'^ever took its place by proclamation of Order in Coun- cil From the Provincial authorities. If it lives up to its worthy namesslce in loyalty and thoroughness its future should be marked by greater forward atridea than they have yet attained to. We hope this will be the oRee, OFFICIAL count for H. H. Dewart, K. C., M. P. P , in Southwest Toronto bye election is 663. He lead the poll in every ward in the constituency. Barrister Dewart is 55 vesrs of age, a fine speaker, a hard bitter in debate and will take a prominent place in the House. His course will be closely watched by both political parties. FROST and a snowstorm did consider_ able damage to the crops in some parts of the Great West. Ontario may not be able to compete with the Westerly Prov- inces in the quantity ot grain, although we compere favorably for acreage, but our fanners usually bit it in some de- partment on account of the wider char- acter of farm operations as to profit bearers. Even Oaterie is not as free from danger of wind storms since the clearance of the woodland. Forestry will be an essential in the older Prov inees in the day s to come and the soon. er the Governments tackle it with vigor the better torrealizing50 optimistic out- look. DESPITE what politicians or a rabid party press may say about the Prohibi. tion• question both tike Provincial Government and the Opposition may make up their minds that is is not a dead issue and the wobblers will have to face it whenever a general Election is decided upon. The candidates wilo don't know which side of the question they are on will be given time by the Temperance electors to find out after tbe ballots have been marked and counted. There was a day when it did not make much d'fference whether the nominees were linked up with a black bottle or not but things have changed end the fello.vs with the cotton string for a backbone will not be able to flim-fiam the stalwarts who stand by the white banner of Prohibition. Wobblersshould take notice and either brace up or make room for zoth century men. LINDSAY boasts of a young woman who has exchanged her cotton apron for a leather one and takes her place before the anvil in a blacksmith shop, There is little doubt if she sticks at the job that she will not miss calisthenic exercises of a Ladies' College very much, Present greet war has obliterated many en old fad as to proprieties relative to employ. ment of the so called weaker sex. In cases out of to they will "clean up" on alrnost any task they undertake as good if not better than many men, Black. smithing will be one of the strenuous jobs Tux Posy would thick, Many a British soldier is supplied with an abundant supply of munitions because of the heroism and industry of some- body's sister or mother. The world has not much room for the lazy or good -for. nothing male or female who finds them - eaves incompetent to turn their hands 10 the accomplishment of oommonpiece duties and tasks. Everybody should have old fashioned "spunk" enough not to he a wart on Society but by practical application end thriftiness pram their ability to fill their place in life so that If necessary they can paddle their own canoe independeut of the wliims, fauoies or Manges to be met with in the busy walks of life.

The C. P. R deserves credit for spending some money over the esthetic Some other institutions, such as church p,operties, school premises, &c., might take a leaf out of the C. P. R.'s book and set a good example to the people of the community. We wonder if the G.'1', R. could not be induced to limber up on the flower Led and flower bisket business 1 MANY people wonder why the tnill'nry authorities of Camp Borden permit prize fights. Is that the of the essential points in the training of young men who may soon be called upon to face life and death issues 1 It surely is no credit to the camp to permit such degrading and uubrotherly exhibitions. Yes, we know it is designated as a "boxing bout" but the fact that one pug scored several clean knockdowns and the other fellow "had to take the count of 9 three times" proves the blows were no "love -taps " What is the use of appointing Cllap'aias, and permitting Y. M. C. A. to put forth their best efforts to inculcate the best if the base and inhuman have full sway ? One report of the prize fight says :— "The bout was witnessed by a crowd of r5,000. Every officer from headquarters was present. The result was Followed by a wild scrmnh'e to the rings•de to carry the victor back io his camp." All we have to say is it is no recommenda- tion to the development of high morals end is a poor standard to set up For the Cdnadisn youth to follow. The news- paper reporters are cute enough to smooth over the particulars when writ- ing their report so that the law could have no catch on the pugilists but that make it nous the less vile for the on- lookers. Surely there are dozens of forms of amusement outside of such do. fngs even if the law winks at it. Clinton Modelites.

THE WESTERN FAIR 8optomber 8th to 18th The Poultry Exhibit at the Western Fair, London, in September, penalises to be a very large one as usual. Poul- try breeders have come to the conclu- sion that a win at London's Exhibition means considerable to them. The prize list is a very liberal one and the cups and trophies offered by the Ex- hibition Association in addition to the cash prizes makes it very attractive fr'orn an Exhibitor's standpoint, Pros- pects are very bright this year for the whole Exhibition. A very large amount of space 15 already allotted and applications are coming in daily. A. real live program of attractions will be given twice daily before the grand amid.
