"Be it resolved that: the Provincial
Department 'of Highways be nett -
toned to let the tenders for a con-
. trete roadway, te have the work corn-
ed shepherds:: The Jews were elmon g
the first to place -agriculture on a
scientific basis. The earlier books of
the Bible contain minute instructions
regarding the tenure iefland, selection
of suitable teed, treatment of the soil,
and there is no doubt that lunch of
what we ,.consider modern" farming
practise was known to the Jews many
hundreds; of years ago when .they tee-.
'dell their flocks and: tilled the soilon
the "sunny` slopes ad: Palestine.
The fact that the modern Jew is a
trader.' instead of a farmer= may be
traced to .the Papal edicts which pro-
hibited the Jews holding land. Driv-
en off the soil, the Jew turned to
other pursuits as a means of earning
a livelihood. An outcast so far as
agriculture' was concerned, he learned
to make. a living by his wits. ITe be-
came in time a very large extent the',
world's banker, financier, • money-
lender, The Jews have stet with re-
ituarkable success ' in every field' of
eonmreree and finance. .One of their
pnomd boasts in this country is that
TED Jew in Canada has ever become a
public charge. If the Jews,ean bring
to the practise of farming the same
excellent virtues 'which have enabled
them to reach such a high level of
success in other fields of endeavor
their settlement on the land: should be
to the advantage of agriculture and
the benefit of the country as a whole.

Campbell, a very highly, respected
resident, whose death occurred- on May
13th, following a stroke of paralysis,
took place on = Saturday afternoon.
Service was conducted by his pastor,
Rev. Dr. Larkin,' ,'interment being"
made in the family plot in Brussels
cemetery. The deceased was a native.
of Tuckersmith, where he resided un-
til the death of his mother, when he
went to live with his' grandfather ie
Grey Township. He was married
about fifty years ago to Miss Jane'
McDonald, of the same township, who,
predeceased him sixteen years. After
disposing of his farm in Grey the
famh"ly moved to Egmondvilie, coming
to Seaforth 12 years ago: He was an
employee of the Canada Furniture
Factory for 15 years, a member of -the
First Presbyterian church and titlife-

foster -mother.' The little lady seems
to have beep. using her eyes and; Tier

been forming her, own opinions about
the different lands she has' visited.
She is a thorough Canadian, however,
and her ,opinion is that Canada ie a.
great country. But she hada trill-

clined to agree with just about as

and 'very enthusiastic r"n their pat-

their growing time a neighbor so

take the, •conceit out -of 'then. And
yet, although we are a modest people,
on occasion Canada can and does 'act
with a dignity and - a poise which a _
much larger and older country might
envy. I believe that Canadians have
a truer world view in many respects
than the United States. This comes
of her position as a member of the
Connnonwealth of Nations, to use the
Prince of Wales' term, the British
Empire. But it wouldn't :hurt Can-
adians to cultivate a pride in and a
warm patriotism for this -.Canada of
ours, the best country in the world—

GENERAL STRIFE WAS ON
That the Labor party. should be al
lowed to . take control of Britain's.'
Government now is inconceivble. It
would mean the downfall of British
prestige throughout the world.
Nor is it clear what the Labor
,party would do with the Government.

labor ran the British Government
when Ramsay McDonald was Prem-

one of the ablest men in Britain, he
was `• not able to satisfy even the labor
uncrins, to say' nothing of the general
public.—New York American.
