THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1916
FRIDAY, Nov. 24th, is the date set for
a gathering of Ontario Liberals at Tor-
onto, to be addressed by the prominent
men of the party, A large attendance
is expeetetl,
Le LBToll County sugar beet growers
are forming wiling" and will demand
$7,00 a ton or no beet growing for them.
What the sugar factories will say to this
will be awaited with interest.
CANADA will give the Duke of Devon-
shire a hearty welcome as he assumes
the duties of his office as Governor
General of this Dominion. We hope he
will out -do any of his many predeces-
sors.
70,000 was considerable of a majority
for the Miehtganders to pile up for Pro-
hibition It goes to show they are no
geese but intend playing the part of
"Big Brother" to Ontario in helping a-
long the good cause,
MILITARY drill is to be made compul-
sory in Toronto schools, at least as long
as the European war lasts. This is one
way to match Germany on the subject of
preparedness, although we do not like
the idea if it were not for doubt existing
as to the duration of the war.
VON BERNSTORFF may get his walking
ticket as German Ambassador at
Washington, unless the submarine war-
fare leaves American citizens afloat.
Somebody has said President Wilson is
not going to write many more notes on
the subject, patience having ceased to
be a virtue,
WHAT may be brought about by the
theory of Conservation is shown in the
fact that reclaimed land at Toronto
water front is now valued at $t,ono,000.
The same law is at work where drainage
piens have been carried out in various
municipalities, It pays to be practical.
Nov would be a good time for School
Trustees to look up informatiou regard-
ing School Fairs so as to be able to
answer questions and discuss the matter
at the coming Annual School meetings,
The School Fair is very intimately con-
nected with the home and the waken-
ing of a new interest in Agrieniture.
AFTER several days of "watchful wait-
ing" President Woodrow Wilson is de-
clared the choice for the Presidential
chair for the next 4 years. Now that it
bas been shown that the Teutonic vote
is not as fearful as thought he should
tighten his belt and aid in securing the
overthrow of militarism. We are glad
he is elected.
Eames have poured in for the Pro-
vincial Winter Fair to an extent that
warrants its success beyond all previous
years. They closed Wednesday of this
week. Date of opening is Friday, Dec-
ember int, continuing to the Sth. It is
none to early to plan to attend. If you
have never attended you will be wonder-
fully surprised.
GENERAL SIR S. It limns is said t0
be planning a tour of Canada for the
purpose of awakening a new interest in
recruiting for overseas. Next Spring a
large auxiliary force should be ready to
cross the ocean from Canada after the
coming Winter's training. One way to
hasten the close of the war is back up
the men me the fighting line, who are so
bravely doing their duty.
ANNOUNCEMENT of the engagement is
made of Miss Bessie Luella Breeze, of
Brighton Ont., to Gordon S. Shipp, of
Palmyra, Out. They are to start on
their voyage on the matrimonal sea this
month. It is altogether likely a favor-
able breeze will waft the ship along and
that they will have smooth sailing.
Sometimes a breeze increases to a hur-
ricane and ships bave to haul in their
sails.
JAMas MCCummiNOs, a farmer of
Ridgetown district, sold his bean crop,
240 bushels at $5.25 per bushel, putting
into his pocket the tidy sum of $r26o,
Mr. Mac. said as he received his ducats
"it was his smallest crop but his biggest
cash returns since he commenced farm
ing." $5.25 per bushel is some price.
At Clinton and Brucefjeld last week
$zo,000 are said to have been paid out
for this high priced product. Some.
times we wish we could trade Tem PosT
for a farm that would grow beans at
$s,25 per bushel,
HURON County Councillors will once
more discuss the Good Roads move.
tnent at their December session. The
present mode of keeping up the main
hiehweye is a patchwork method with
resulte far from satisfactory A uumbet
of municipalities are still wedded to the
obsolete Statute Labor plans of 4o years
ago which have outlived their useful-
ness. Huron County Council made a
great mistake when the Good Roads
provisions were not adopted years ago,
13,y this time every main road in the
County Wright have been in proper
shape and a goodly proportion settled
for by Government aid,
DEATH OF REV. DR. HOWIE
A Former Pastor of Knox Church, Brussels
REV, DR. HOWIE
News has been received of the death
of Rev, Ghosu-el-Howle, Pit. D„ at
Shsveir, Mount Lebanon, Syria. Dr,
Howie was an Oriental scholar and
lecturer who was well known in Cana-
da. For 25 years he bad labored
among his own people in Syria.
When war broke out his position as a
Christian teacher in a land ruled by
the Turk was not very secure, but he
decided to remain with his own people
and share their dangers and priva-
tions.
MSS Dora Howie, a daughter of the
deceased, attended Goderich Collegiate
Institute for some time. Another
deughtet is the wife of the Rev, Dr.
Aitken, petite of the Presbyterian
church at Kippen.
Dr, Howie was called to the pastor-
�GIII'i�I.illil'IIII
ate of Knox Church, Brussels, on the
retirements of the late Rev. S. Jones.
Although handicapped by blindness
he managed to fill hie various duties
fairly well. While here he wae mar-
ried to a Toronto lady who stemma a
real helpmeet. Shortly after this the
family returned to Syria. For many
years correspondence was kept up
from here with Dr. Bowie. Both he
and Mrs, Howie were contributors to
various British and American Journ-
als and tvl'ote many iuterestiug notes
for the Sunday School Times concern-
ing Eastern manners and cues nine.
One of Dr. FXowie's daughters is filling
a post in South Africa. Bev name WAS
significant of het• birthplace, viz
"Canada."
Soars violent disturbances, of earth-
quake cbaracter, have occurred in cer-
tain coal mines in British Columbia,
causing heavy damage. The report of
the prices to be asked by come of the
American coal barons is likely to make
the coal consumers quake before Winter
is over, There should be changes made
iv the laws that would act as a bridle on
these fellows when they are disposed to
be too keen on the ' jump "
Short Courses in Stock Judging
Arrangements have been made for
the holding of a series of Shot
Courses in live
stock judging under
the direction of the West Huron
Board of Agriculture. These will be
held at various pointe, as follows 1
Bluevale, November 20 and 21.
Dungannon, November 22 and 28
Londeeboro', November 27 and 28.
The classes will be conducted by
John Gardhouse, Weston, and A. H.
Harding, Strathroy, two experienced
stockmen. The classes will be con-
vened at 9 o'clock in the morning and
2 o'clock in the afternoon and all
farmers and any others interested in
Agriculture are invited to join.
There will be no admission fee.
This is the that effort of the newly
organized Board of Agriculture, and
it is earnestly desired that farmers
and others will give their co-opera-
tion to make it a success.
MILLIONS FOR DEPENDENTS
Canadian Patriotic Fund Is Undertak-
ing to Raise 13 and a Half Million
Dollars for 1917.
The reports that the Dolninion
Government will be asked to make
good any deficit resulting from the
operations of the Canadian Patriotic
Fund in 1917 is wholly without found-
ation. On the contrary, preparations
are under way for the greatest series
of campaigns that the Fund has yet
set in 'notion, it being the desire of
the Executive Committee that in the
latter days of January local cam-
paigns be held in all parts of the
country where provision has not al-
ready been made, Through these
campaigns it is hoped to place the
Fund in a position to meet all claims
upon ib in 1917. In order to second
the efforts of the supporters of the
Fund in each district, by educating
the public to the claims upon it,
liberal use will be made of newspaper
space.
The work of the Fund grows with
the growth of our armies. Thee is
no escaping from the result, and in
consequence bbe Fund hag to call upon
the people of Canada to supply,
through one chaalriet or another, the
sum of thirteen anti a half million
dollars in 1917,
It is an immenee snot, yet every
ooitof it must be raised if Canada is
to keep her pledge to the fatnities of
the tnen wbo are fighting her battles
the pledge that these families will
be looked after, will be kept from
want, will be maintained in a position
of comfort at lenstequal to that which
they enjoyed when the bread -Winners
were ab home.
That pledge roust• he kept, By one
menne tie another, the thirteen and a
half million must be forlhootriing,
There may be differences of opinion
as to what sources of revenue should
be tapped, but not a whisper is to be
heard, the Dominion over, against
the
maintenance of the rand until its
work is accomplished—until the war
is ended, and the soldier lays down his
rifle to take his place again at the
head of his family.
The proportion which Ontario is to
be asked to contribute is six million
dollars, being practically the amount
which it is estimated will be paid nut
to the dependents of Ontario's soldiers.
This means that there can be no de-
crease in subscriptions froth any
source, but that, on the contrary,
from certain districts and classes there
should he substantial increase. It is
pointed out by the officials of the Fund
that the argument that the whale sunt
required should be raised by Federal
taxation is unsound in several parti-
culars, For one thing, the Dominion
would have to treat every person of
the sante basis, whereas the Fund die-
criminates between those who need
and those who do not need. Non-dis-
crimination would cause an ino'ease
in cost of about seven million dollars.
For another thing, the burden if the
Fund were supported by the proceeds
of debentures, would fall largely on
the soldiers when they return, in-
stead of wholly on those who stay at
home.
The Honorary Secretary, Sir Her•
bent Ames, has spent the past month
in the Canadian West, in the Interests
of Ilse Fund, and he t eports an extra-
ordinarily keen determination to sup-
port the Fund at the cost of any neces•
nary financial sacrifices.
The congregation of Memorial
Ohurch, Stratford, has secured a pro-
mising young pastor in Rev. Arthur
Hale, Rockland, Ottawa Valley, A
letter of aooeptanee wae read end the
annoupcemeat was received wills evi-
dent gratifletttion. Rev, Mr, Hale will
begin his pastorate on the first Sun-
day its December.
