In an ordinary year of a younger 'parliament, it might be figured that, to avoid a break in the proceedings on the oc- casion p'f the visit of the King and Queen, a great effort should be .made to conclude in advance of the event.

Interlocked with it i a way, will be the deefnce estimate following and expanding, as they wil the plans of the last two years. I 19317 the $315,000,000 'vote 'brought certain insurgency lfroln the. Quebe wingof ,the party. Last year some al tered their stand. Others simply sai that they stood where they did ibefor and let it go at that. This session, from all accounts, the appropriation will be materially in- creased. The question will be wheth- er the supposed narrow escape from war 1wil1 tend to neutralize objections by Quebec members and other to continued preparations, or will they regard such a .policy unfavorably, in the event of an election next year. The report of the machine gun in- vestigation will be before Parliament. Upon the findings will depend the nature of the discussion. If they are adverse, fire will be opened. If they are not unfavorable, it will he diff- erent. Perhaps the more predominant viewis that 1939 will bring a general election. But there is no certainty about it. The usage among Liberal ministries of having an election every four years carries with it a certain force and, for this and other reasons, same of the supporteds favor and ex- pect it. There are dissidents. how- ever; some who appraise 'highly the economic and political value of the trade agreement will urge that they be tried out a ,full year, not a few months. Then, internal questions do not es- carpe the Liberal members from On- tario and from Quebec. A 'burr tinder the saddle is Mr. Hepburn. In Que- bec, some 'of the members are also a bit apprehensive about Duplessis but seemingly not so much so as they were. The (Ontario Premier still misses no opportunity for a verbal stab at Mr. King and no doubt his cohorts have a lot to do with constit- uency organization. Mr. Hepburn is credited with helping greatly in 4935. It is thought he might harm greatly in 11939, shut it is asked would he do so in '19410? If he went out against the Government, some Liberal members might reason Ontario Liberal seats could be 'blamed on him. The King Liberals would thus be inclined to sharpen their knives for the Ontario Premier when, a few months later, Hepburn •himself would need to go to the country facing a re=organized Conservative party. These iprdvincial aspects of the situation will have to he pondered. CANADIAN i1VTAIPLES IN TSHE LANDSCAPE'. (Experimental Farms News) :While many persons may think of the maple as one of Canada's national emblems and a sugar maker, this tree is only one member of a large family of trees and shrubs which 611 a wide range •of usefulness in Canadian 1and- scape planting, ,states R. W. Oliver, - - Horticultural Division, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. ,• Wherever it is hardy, the native white hard or sugar maple is the 'best of trees for shade or street planting. Its well balanced shape, and tough wood stand up, in rough weather. The foliage is excellent throughout the summer and a glorious riot ts,f color in the fall, when its scarlet 'anti. =old may :be heightened by • tie ad ditdoital .crimson of the swamp red utaple, The hard maple has the drawback of being a slow grower, and this fault' has 'caused too 'frequently planting of its weaker cousin the Norway maple. The latter tree, while growing more rapidly, and having a fairly pleasing shape, has a much shorter life due to two bad habits; it has ascending branches 'which form bad crotches, and has a tendency to split with the frost.- Both faults permit the easy en- try of decay fungi which cause dam- age and early death. For these rea- sons the Norway maple should not be recommended except where one of the red or purple leaved varieties, such as Schwedleri or Reitenbachi, is to be used as a lawn 'specimen, where the foliage is most attractive. The silver or soft maple makes an attractive shade tree on a large dawn. At maturity its tall spreading form rivals the elm. The foliage is .light in color on the underside which gives the appearance of life in a breeze. Wier's cut leaved variety is a useful �. tree as a smaller lawn specimen, as - t- its weeping habit breaks the monot- c oily of average round headed trees. The characteristic fall ,color of the s soft maple is yellow, that of Wier's 1 variety silver grey. Most of the maples .unfortunately a feed near the surface of the soil, .so c that they frequently damage lawns more than trees which root deeply. This d •ca n usually 'be overcome by li'b- e eral watering and fertilizing sa that the ground can support both tree and grass. The Ivfanitoba maple or box elder is the ,hardiest and most rapid grower of the family. But it should have no place in any planting scheme in a section of 'the !country 'where good • trees can be grown. The planter gets quick results but it is a case of plant in haste and repent in leisure, as this tree rapidly becomes a weed. Then there are the smaller forms. The Tartarian and Amur maples are useful small trees or shrubs for large shrubbery masses where their nest summer foliage is attractive and elei: crimson and scarlet blaze a fall stec- tacte. The Japanese maple has many Fortes with - cut and • variecoloured foliage, many of them are attractive shrubs as lawn specimens but unfor- tunately they can only be grown in very limited areas where the climate is lenient. No conclusion about an election has been ,reached. None will be or needs to be far a long time. Pt is the ,funotion of a Prime • Minister to de- cide but a wise rone always consults his inner circle and the inner circle are in contact with the scouts - out side. A Prime Minister has the right to ask the dissolution of Parliatnetk whenever he thinks his political ad, vantaCe will best he served. His 'Gov ernment can stay only so long, in any event. It can go earlier, if i .thinks the going isgood. Mr. King will be the judge of his own course, REEVE NAGLE - (Continued from Page Two) nything 'he ever obtained and work - d just as hard to get things .for the people who 'voted him to office. As a man who had to work front his youth he is sympathetic toward those who find the going hard. Mr. Nagle taught school for six months in his home county and later or two years in Norfolk County. It was in .11893 that he came to this part of the country to take over his bro- her's farm in Hibbert and it was here that his Irish happy-go-lucky, never -say -die philosophy stood him n good stead. He suffered three or our serious setbacks soon after tak- ng over the farm but be didn't give up. He was more successful iit hand- ing the finances of Hibbert, how- ever. I n the 110 years he has been reeve he reduced the tax rate and wiped out the township's debt. c Briggs—You've been married a god few years, now, 'haven't you, old boy? Simmers --I'll say we have.
