Four protests) have been filed against the erections, in as many ridings, with Mr. N. F. Patterson, Registrar of the Election Court at Osgoode Hall, They are: 0. A. Payne, farmer, against the return of Hon. 0, Howard Ferguson in Gren- ville; Major J. 1. Hartt, against the election of John B. Johnston in East Sitncoe; J. T, Simpson, against G. H, i Murdock, in Centre Sincoe, and a protest against T. K. Slack, in Duffer - in. These four men filing potests were defeated candidates in the rid- ings. In the two Simcoes bribery is alleged on the part of the anembers- elect. It is interesting to note that it, is in Centre Simaoe, where it is 'expected Premien Drury wilt seek a seat. The entering of the protests will probably cause some delay in the bringing on of the other by-elect- ions. Thursday was the last day for filing petitions, as forty-five days only are allowed after the election for this purpose. The petitions are first filed with the local Registrars, who report to the Registrar of the Election Court. • Windstorm Insurance Why run the risk of damage by wind when you can insure at the rate of 40 cents per $100 insurance for three years.

A. McQueen, neer Svelter, Michi- gan, un Tuesday, December 2nd, 1919, as a reeutt of a stroke suffered 10 days previous. By 10 years, this sturdy pioneer of Seoteh descent, had out- lived the Psalmists span, having cele- brated his Sotit anniversary un October 29th last, and when a large number of his friends and relatives assembled at the home stead and celebrated the oc- _asion in right royal style, Even though he had crossed the four score mark, picture of health and strength he was; like unto the prophetic saint of old, his eye was not dime nor his natural force abated, and the news of his sudden death, wee a shock to the• entire county of Sanilac and to those as well in Huron, in Michigan, where he was so well :and favorably known. William McQueen was a Haan of sterling character and one whose daily Christian life and walk and conversa- tion among men exemplified one of the finest examples of a traveller treading the way the Master event, Since early boyhood, deceased had been a member of the Presbyterian Church. In his Youth he attended the old Ross church in.Bruce'feld; later, he went talo the Union. Few men in his day, in fact professors of music have intimated, that few in this later day, possess a better talent for music and better voice for vocal, than the subject above quot- ed. For a long time he was precentor in the Brucefield churches, On tete occasion of his second List visit to Brucefield about seven years ago, Mr. McQueen, together with the late Alex- ander Ross and the late George "Mas- ter" Baird, of Brucefield, conducted the song service in the union church one Sabbath morning, in the old kirk old day style, without the organ, A few weeks later; all three,with others, as- sembled at a party at the home of Mr. James McDonald un the London Road, swaped pioneer tales and sang old time songs, and in parting joined hands in their favorite "Old Lang Syne." The last of that trio has departed and gone to the reward of the faithful. The late Mr. McQueen had been since going to Michigan over 30 years ago, an ardent worker in the grangers and other farmer's organizations. But he was not, generality speaking, a lover of public life; hotnelife called hits first and always in importance, '!'Itis past summer, he assisted his son on t,helr large farm and more than once ad- tnitted that he never felt better than for t 0 years past. in his death, Stanley Township, Hur- on County, Ontario, has lost another of the sten who helped build her founda- tions and assisted in paving her path- ways to success. One of those who loved Stanley Township and her folk best, and who till the time of his be- ing stricken enjoyed the home news- papers above all others, as his interest in the old home land and home folk, agricultural and Christian interests never died out, nor has gone, in Michigan, his community has lost an excellent neighbor and friend, For miles around he was known and as. he was known so was he respected and in his death, the feeling of regret is un- iversal. fits wife, formerly a Miss Lawrence, predeceased him about 12 years ago. One son, Will A, McQueen and otte daughter, Mrs. Will McLaughlin, sur- vive. Also a number of nephews, nieces, and grand children. fie has at large number of relatives at Brucefield, His brother -In-law, Mr. William Cowan, of Bad Axe, Michigan also a forme Brucefield resident, John McQueen, now residing with his nephew James H. O'Neill, state and sporting Editor of The Flint Evening Journal,were at his bedside at,the time of his death, Dur- ing his lifetime, Mr. McQueen's interest in churchavork and all angles pertain- ing thereto, was vital, and he loved to discuss those things relative to the life and walk and conversation of the world's Saviour, Ile was never too busy to halt and talk •t little while on the ethics of the Christian Gospel. But on the last occasion, two months ago, when the deceased and the writer of this obituary were in conversation, the former said "We must be ready for God's word says we know not the day nor the hour when the Son of Man shall Conte." The night has tonne when his work hath ceased, ' Savant of Godi well clone Thy glorious warfare's past; The fight is over and the battles wort And thou art crowned at last.

The following appreciation of the Linotype was written by a New York editor, It, is such a machine as this that sets up the bulk of the type for the New Era every week, and much of the the type for our Job printing depart- ment, and those who love machinery never cease wondering at the marvel 0 this "mad machine that Alergenthal- er node." "During a recent visit to one of the greatest American textile weaving es- tablishments, I stopped in fascination again and again to watch the great Jacquard looms weaving the most ela- borate and intricate patterns at top - speed and. with ;t perfection that the human hand could not possibly rival, I thought that perhaps no other ma- chine in tit, world was so ingenious in the performance of so' many difficult and complex motions at once. "A wonderful tiling," 1 said to 'Ike still manager. "It isi" he said. "Although i !nave been in the textile business for thirty years, I myself never weary of admir- ing it. Indeed, 1 think it is the most wonderful machine ever conceived by :nen, At least 1 thought so until a few years ago. Then t saw a machine that is even more wonderful.' "'What was that?" 1 asked, "'J went into a newspaper plant,' replied he,' and saw a machine catled the Linotype. It made me jealous for my Jacquards, for my technical mind had to admit unconditionally that wonderful though my looms are, there is in existence a machine truly far be- yond them in marvellous operation. The Linotype is without doubt the most wonderful of all machines that have been given to the world.
