Iloge will preach in the Southampton Presbyterian church before leaving for his new field of labor at Clinton. He is a forcefnd and fluent speaker and the church here .has prospered under his directions. He and Mrs. Hogg have endeared „themselves to the congregation of the .church and hold a high place in the esteem of the citizens generally, and the regret is deep that we are about t to lose thin family from our midst. Outside of his church duties ler. Hogg has taken an active part in the general welfare of the town. He has been zealous in helping all schemes for the welfare of our soldier boys, .and being a singer of ability he has often been called upon to take part in it she program of the many entertain- ments gotten hp to raise funds in the interest of the soldiers and their dependents, and he has always generously responded.

A former Pastor Of Wesley Church, The following sketch taken from the Winnipeg Free Press, refers to a former pastor of the Wesley Methodist church, Clinton, wbo is well known in Oneario:— One of Winnipeg's most masterful pulpit orators is the pastor of Fort Rouge Methodist Church, Rev. Dr, G F. Salton. Dr. Salton has held many of the most important charges in Canada and at different tunes has been stationed in Hamilton, St, Thomas, Stratford and Ottawa. Not only has he always been a popular preacher and a leader in all the phases of church wore:, but he has been actively interested in other movements and has several hobbies upon which he frequently, gives entertaining lectures Dr. Salton was born in West liarte- pool, Durbam, Englagd. and received iris early education in the Western, academy, in which he afterwards became a teach- er. For four years he taught as assistant master in the large Wesleyan day school at Caine, Lancashire. In 1882 however, he came to Canada and enter, ed the Methodist ministry in the same year. One of the important charges which Dr, Salton has held is theDomin- ioti church, Ottawa, where over 40 stern• bers of the House of Parliament . were regular attenders. Among those whom he preached to were Sir Mackenzie Sewell, the late Sir Frederick Borden, Sir Clifford Sifton, Sir Sam Hughes and on several occasions, Earl Grey and Sir Wilfrid Laurier were addressed by him, In the large Centenary church at Ham- ilton, Dr. Salton had the unique ex- perience for a Methodist minister of staying five years instead of three years. Before coating to Winnipeg his charge was Zion church, Moose Jaw. While there he was requested to talcs charge of the Saskatchewan Boy Scotts on the trip to England in connection with the coronation of King George. During this visit of the boys Dr. Saltort's troops had the very extraordinary experience of being reviewed in the grounds of the late Captain Grenfell by three field mar - other's Troubles Mother's unending work( and devotion drains and strains her physical strength and leaves its mark in dimmed eyes and careworn expressions --she ages before her time. Any mother who is weary and languid should start taking OF PUREST COD RIVER Old as a strengthening food and bracing tonic to add richness to her blood and build up her nerves before it is too late. Start SCOTT'S today—its tante is world-wide. J sdott lab ,,,...d, Out. 16-4 j shells at one time. When it is remem- bered that there were but seven field ntarshal[sin the world to day it was r't- garded as a distinct honor that three of them, the Duke of Connaught, ,General French and Lord Roberts should have reviewer! the Saskatchewan boys on that occasion. King George and General Sir H. Iladcn-Powell were also nresent on that occasion. Dr. Salton has the honor of being almost the first man to intro duce the Girl Guides and Boy Scouts movement in Canada. In connect -Me with the former movement he received his commisseion at the hands of Sir R. Baden Powell and he is also the possess- or of tete distinguished honor the "Silver Wolf". Many of the honors of the Methodist church have been conferred upon Dr. Salton. IIe has been Secretary of two annual Conferences and a member of the General Conference in Montreal and on many occasions he has served as Presi dent of Ministerial Associations. IIis academic degrees, 13. A., M. A., and Ph U„ he secured in the Wesleyan Uni versity of Illinois, 'l'wo hobbies Dr. Salton has, one the study of art and the collection of picture= and the other, the study of ways and means of uniting the so called religious education with the day school education of the child. Dr. Salton is convinced that there can be no National stability or even individual character without edu cation based on morals. He has been requested to be present at the great reheious education convention in Boston no.. month. Dr, Salton has travelled extensively,. Twenty times he has been to Europe and the present battlefields are almost all familiar to hint. Art is another hobby of the doctor's and he could act as "Cook's" guide to every European art gallery. At the time the war broke out he was in England with a party from Winnipeg and Mosse Jaw, assisting William Grayson to make his selection of Scotch, Welsh and English paintings. Legislature WITH YELLOW FLOWERS WOMEN GET THE VOTE Men no Longer the "Daly People,' In Ontarlo—Speeohes of Hearst and Rowell Amid a spring like profusion of yel- Iow daffodils presented by 'Woman Suffrage Societies and worn by all the members of the Legislature, the women of Ontario were given the vote on the same terns as men. Tues- day, February 27, 1917, was the his - torte day, Four bills granting the reform passed their second reading by a unanimous vote and nothing now remains but the technicalities closing up the legtslatfon. Since 1912 the Government each year has Voted clown proposals to give women the vote, but this time all parties united and the Prime Minister, and Newton Rowell betel made noteworthy speech - ,.es. 'Can we justly deny to our women a 'share In the government of the country and the right to have a say le the making of the laws which they have boon so heroically trying to de- fend?” asited the Premier. And Mr, Rowell emphasized the great demo- cratic basis of the reform, " The wo- men of Onterlo," he said, "Will exercise great- influence for good in social legislation and in the difficult problolns which will face the country at the olose of the war," The members who had the satisfac- tion of seeing their bilks become law were Wm, McDonald, Liberal member for North trues; J, W. Jo}inson, Con- servative member for West Hastings a ud J. 0. Mott, Liberal member for West Middlesex, Mr. McDonald, who with Mr. AIan >9tuetholme, Labor meniber for West Hamilton, ie the member who has for 1longest time been urging the full 'franchise for women, made a thong arid ]huntorotte speech After review - Ana the former antagonism of the Oovor tnent to Woman quffrage and t ltagit 1ig Mite!, tl�etrj,.rt ^,aan,-yjtrnhntt +t3 coioa')at, to the G9Yo5 nmMft as'..a • Goverment of trailers," a phraaq Which has been widely repeated and quoted, ( Got Strength To Do Her Work ^,1rt;.a HOW THIS MOTHER GRAVE CHARGES MADE RE NICKEL AND ROADS 13, II, Dewart, Liberal member Tor Southwest Toronto and Z. Mageale, Liberal member for Sturgeon Palls figured prominently in alleged die - closures against the Ontario Govern- ment, Mr. Dewart claimed that valuable eicltol-bearing lands in the year 1916 were.grtuited by the Govern- ment to employees of the Inter- national Nickel Company at $3,00 an The significance of these charges, he said, lay in the fact that on Jan. 4, 1917, the Ilon. G, H. Forgusot de- clared that not one acre of nieltel- bearing land has been granted by this Government," In the first week of the session Mr. Dewart showed that nickel -heating land had been sold and the Minister then said that it had been given to a private prospector. Now Mr.' Dewart claims that after search- ing titles in Sudbury he finds that this "private prospector" was an em- ployee of the' International Nickel Company and that another employee had also boon given niokel-beartng lands, And Mr. Dewart said 1t was suspicious that these further privi- loges had been given to a company Which already had received so muolt i more than it deserved and that, too, at the expense of the rights of the common people. Mr. Magoau's charges were that the Government was improperly expend- ing money in Northern Ontario in road building and other activities for political purposes. NOTES FROM THE HOUSE 1 There were lots of visitors in the House this week from the country districts—delegates to the annual meeting of the United Farmers of Ontario and also delegates for the good roads deputation which waited upon the Government. Thos. Marshall, Liberal member for Lincoln and Samuel Carter, Liberal member for South Wellington, intro- duced a debate protesting against the approval of the plans or the Canadian Northern between Toronto and Nia- gara Falls and made strong speeches in favor of the Hydro. Ttta Govern- ment accepted Mr. Marshall's 'notion, adding to it a formal clause and the resolution of protest was sent to tete Dominion Government Scott Davidson complained of an item in the Public Accounts of $684.00 for out flowers for Government house. The Government is going to appoint a Provincial Forester. Race track gambling and jockey club licenses promise to be one of the interesting topics of the session. The Government of Ontario will bor- row seventeen million dollars on this side of the Atlantic to re -purchase a similar amount of securities now held in England. Civil servant salaries are to be in- creased by $129,897. There is to be a Bureau of Muni- cipal Affairs in the Province. John Grieve, M.P.P. for North Mid- dlesex, in commenting on the sum of $sd$,00 spent by the Government' last yeyLt' on stationery for Govern- nient Rouse, said that each servant, up there would almost need a steno- grapher to use up that anima Of writing paper.

EMPIRE MORE THAN MAP All of its Members Have Shown Eternal Loyalty "The people of Canada do not realize the greatness of the British Empire, and do not appreciate what a tremen- dous facto' for good it has been in the 'world," said Rev, Canon Alexander W. McNab, speaking before the United Empire Loyalists' Club. Hoisting in his hand the watch of a Canadian officer who fell ht the Battle of Water- loo, he said: "The man who carries} this was a man who lett Toronto and went overseas to join the Imperial forces, lie was the lire, Canadian to fight overseas in the I'Jmpli'e's rause, and one of tha first Canadians to ap- procfate lnperinitsin." General Ryer- son, in proposing a toasteto the British Empire, said that the Empire is some- thing more than a stere mall. All of its members have shown their eternal loyalty to the idea or ono great and Indivisible empire, and their deter. mination to carry this great war to a triumphant end.
