Mr. Wigle said that the highway construction and maintenance outlay in proepect justified the proposed gasoline tax, but he had heard some comment that three cents was about a cent end a half too high. Probably, however, the Government would. soon reduce license fees and then a good share of the contribution would be from motorists bf other coun- tries. The member advocated licens- ing of all drivers. He commended the work of the health department, and in connection with . the Workmen's Compensation Act suggested that industries con- tribute to an old age pension fund. "Why should St be established on the employer any more than the province?" •demanded Z. Magatt. "The employer might' snake a con- tribution," said Mr. Wigle. "The employee might be assessed a small sum out of his wage. I am just throw- ing it out as a suggestion." E. R, WIGLE,M.P.P., CON- ' TRIBUTES NOTABLE SPEECH Beer and Turnips Vie for First Honors in Discussions in the Legislature. (By W. E. Elliott, in London Free Press.) ` Toronto, Feb. 25. ---The Legisla- ture was regaled to -day with beer, turnips and more beer. It was one of those topsy turvy days in the House, when Opposition members rose up and called the Government blessed, and when certain Government sup- porters sought to damn by faint praise. • As a matter of fact, a whole lot of really important Matters were. discussed, particularly between 10 and 11 o'clock to -night by E. R. \\ogle (Con., Center Huron), He is one of those who has really read the speech from the throne and con- siders it "the work of a real Gov- ernment." Government." E. R. Wigle ret' iewed some of the high spots of Ontario's agricultural achievements, mentioning prize- winning exhibitors at Milwaukee and Chicago, and submitted a number of practical suggestions. He referred to demonstration orchards conducted by the department of agriculture and expressed a hope that the fine fruit. County of Hurou might have one this year. "Now that nearly every farmer ,has a radio receiving set," he said, "I hope the day is not long distantwhenthe Government will establish a broad- casting station, whereby the farmer will be able to have the daily market and weather reports. I don't know whether to go as Far as some farmers in my constituency in asking that they receive agricultural lectures, but I do think seriously if the Gov- ernment would establish a broadcast- ing station to give the farmers the. information I have mentioned it would be a step in the right direc- tion." the upper hand? If the latter, no matter,.hpw we may prosper out- wardly, utwardly, we are *Cally gfoVuing•worso; if the former, we are growing better. Remembering we that are created for eternity, and that our eternal well-being depends upon our loyalty, to God in, this life, is it not Svorth while once in the year to take some considerable hipmeand make an earn-, est effort to s e how it stands with tis:' to prevent a fall if we are head- ing towards one, and to,'stretigthett our resolution by prayer and effort,'. to oontnue on the right road if -by God's grace we are already on it, so that at last we may arrive safe in our heavenly home? If Lent can serve these purposes is it not worth while to take it seriously? There are others who take Lent as a matter of course, who attend more services and practise for a time some conventional self-denial, but who look upon it more as a temporary conformity t0 the Church's traditional custom than as a means or opportunity of ef- fecting a lastingchange in their lives, and who as soon as Lent is over fall back into the old way. Perhaps this is better than -'nothing, for the seed of something lasting may be sown. The fault of such people is that they do not take Lent sufficient- ly seriously. For surely the discip- line of Lent was never meant as a mere interlude, but always for the permanent improvement of character by getting nearer to God—nearer -to Christ, so that when Lent is over we shall be better men and women than when it began, Religion is not a thing to put on or put off to suit one's convenience like a garment. It is something woven into the very -fest- tura of our, life, and if itis real, it cannot be. put off. During Lent it shrould always be aur aim'with God's help to strengthen some good quali- ties ' or habits which we already possess, or to acquire some new vir- tue, some new grace so that for all time we inay the more fully shew the light of Christ in our lives. One day we shall have to give account of all the opportunities of this life, ' and among others, of the way in which year after year, we have used -or neglected the opportunities of Lent, Let us therefore remember that: It is worth while to take time to pre- pare for eternity; it is worth while to seek. to discover whether we are growing 'better or worse as we `grow older—and to do it now: "Now is the day of salation." The 'Lenten discip- line should be a serious thing and should aim at effecting a lasting im- provement of character. Finally, let us remember that God will not make cod if wedo us g mot ourselves wish ' and try to be good, but if 'we draw nigh to God,.He..y,'ill draw nigh to us end help and Atlas us. Believe me, yours faithfully, .David Huron. An Oil that is 'Prized Everywhere. —Dr...Thomas' $electric Oil was put upon the .market without any flourish over fiFty years ago. It was put up to meet the wants of a small section,' but as soon as. its:• merits ,became known it had whole .continent for a field, and it is -'now known and prized throughtstit 'this continent. Thereis nothing equal to it. Goderich Harbor, Regarding Alberta coal for Ontario Mr. Wigle said that if rail and water route were found most advantageous he hoped Goderich harbor would not be overlooked. "Is the member suggesting that Goderich is an improvement on Sarnia?" asked W. S. Haney. . "With Sarnia we have no quarrel," replied Mr. Wigle. "We have two lines of railroad, interswitching and every 'facility for the unloading of coal. We have a harbor recognized by the Federal Government and we see no reason why this Govern- ment, if it has anything to do in designating a port, should overlook Goderich." (Applause.) Coming to the. Temperance Act amendments Wigle said "The in- crease in the consumption-- of hard iiquor is not disputed and it must in- dicate that people are drinking it for more than medicinal purposes and through a legalized channel, I have always taken objection 'to doctors issuing prescriptions ands also to handling of liquor through drug- gists. I believe these two avenues should be dispensed . with.

And not only this, but the powders wilt be certain to exert most 'beneficial in- . fluences in the digestive organs. Augment Hydro in Western Ontario. Mr. .Wigle proposes that the On- tario hydro committee utilize some of the smaller water powers, in West- ern Ontario to augment the electrical supply before it spends huge sums on auxiliary steam plants. "Hydro, as applied to the County of Huron," said Mr. Wigle, "is not as advantageous as in some other locali- ties. In Goderich hydro is $55 per horsepower, in Clinton $43, Seaforth $40, Blyth $91, Brussels $72 and Wal- ton $65. You will readily understand that with these pricesnot only is the farmer handicapped -through the price. of hydro. During the Drury regime en in- vestigation committee recommended that the .Government place a tax on the power developed at the several falls. I believe this a good idea to create a fund that may be distributed to those municipalities not fortunate- ly ortunately situated. Four farmers to the mile are required before they can have hydro. If there .were some system of special aid through such fund, there would be a number more take advantage of this great enterprise. No reason why the farmer, the man behind the 'basic industry, should be denied this convenience." "There will no doubt be a re -vote asked this year of the S5,000,000 alloted for steam auxiliaries. Before it is expended those responsible for hydro policy should survey some of the minor Water falls in the prov- ince. (Applause.) I believe they could easily harness a number of these and I speak particularly of the fails on the Maitland River, a few miles from Goderich, as an example. About 12 years ago the hydro made a survey and found at that time that the cost of a dam was too great to be advantageous. I believe nosy with the progress made in engineering and a modern method of construction that the hydro com- mission would be well advised to make 'a survey again of the Mait- land Falls and :that the people in that section of the country could be served advantageously 'by power generated there." AT TORONTO. Motions, more, more motions, and still snoremotions, as if tate mem- bers were afraid the session would close before they could get a hear- ing, •marked the progress of the session during the past week. Especially was this true on Friday. So rapidly was business transacted that Mr. Sinclair was afraid they were going too' fast. This is a new condition, as in the past, the op- position were complaining that time was lost and wasted. Although only three weeks are gone, already a large. batch . of measures are awaiting action by the committees on private bilis and on 'municipal law, which is meeting this week. It is expected that Treasurer Price will present the budget on Thursday. The gasoline tax bill had its first reading on Friday, im- posing a tax of three cents. A rebate of the full three cents to users of tractors and stationary engines will be made: It is expected that there will shortly be a reduction of the cost of licenses.

Lenten Pastoral, The following was issued 'by the Bishop of 'Huron, and was read by Rev. T. H, Brown in St. Thomas' church on Feb. 22nd; Dear 'Brethren: —There is an old proverb which says that "Heaven helps those who help thcnisehrs," That proverb is true as regards our moral and spiritual life. God will not make us"good without our co-operation. Unless.- the our- selves desire and try to be good, God will notcompel us to be good. That is our great •privilege and also aur great peril. If we neither desire nor try to grow better, we do not give God a chance to help us; but given the desire and the effort, there is no limit to the blessing and help that God will give es. For the moment we seriously desire and try to rise into newness of life in Christ or to rise higher ie our Christian living, that moment we open the way for God to help us because our hearts are then opened to receive His Spirit which is always seeking to draw us upward to Himself; and there is literally no limit, except that of our human capacity, to the height of goodness to which we may at- tain. Lent is especially the season in the Church's year when we are called to take up seriously this task of helping ourselves, that is by self- examination, prayer and effort to do what we ourselves can do towards improving our moral and spiritual life. Regarded in this light, Lent is obviously a serious and great op- portunity, fraught with boundless possibilities for good to each one of us. It is to be feared, however, that Lent is not alwaysregarded this ardd in g way. To some it is a mere name, marking the flight of time, like spring or some other season, more than a religious opportunity. Such people make no pretence to observe it and consider it rather a nuisance that their routine of business or pleasure or amusement should be interfered with 'by theseasotes demands. Such people are really blind to their own interests. For .11 there is one thing firmly established as regards our moral and; spiritual growth it is this: that nothing tends more to promote it than a periodical examination of ourselves to know where we stand whether we are really growing better or growing worse. People seeps to take for granted that they grow better as they grow older, But is ,by no means a certainty. Some people .grow worse — much worse instead of .'better. But how are we to know which is the case with ouselve s' unless i ass we periodically Y call a halt soes to see exactlyhow we stand? Lent is the Go -given season in which to make this examin- ation for discovery. • Let us therefore, ask ourselves: Is God more, or less to ine'now than He was a year or five irtt:r rf r,ur mil lay, ' mid T •n'- or ten years ago?'

Hart*, district director of -the On- tario Horticultural Association, and also a member of the Publicity Com- inittee of the Association. Those interested will find it 'interesting and up-to-date on the growth of these beautiful flowers, ' The value of this useful flower has not been:fully realized by the average gardener, We all appreciate the fact that it is difficult to produce gay color effects in shaded or semi- shaded spots .because 'there are few flowering plants which will succeed in a shady location. The tuberous root- ed begonia not only do splendidly in a semi -shade, but they glory in it and prefer shade or semi -shade to, an open location. The gigantic. flowers of perfect form are wax like in appearance and are borne bit stout steins above the foliage. If the bulbs are started in the house during March, plants will ,be in full foliage when- planted out in 'May (after danger of. frost is past) and they •will begin to bloom in June and never cease until frost in the autumn. Bulbs do not absolutely require starting in the house, 'but may be planted dormant out of doors, which of course, will delay the blooming season slightly. How to Start Bulbs. First of all learn to know which is the top and which is the bottom of the bulb. The 'bulbs-inva?ia'bly on one side are concave or indented, while cm the other side they are round. The concave or indented side constitutes' the top. Secure a shallow box filled with sand to a depth of three inches, smooth the surface and moisten the sand. Press the rounded part of the bulb into the sand, so that the Amid is almost even wth the top of the bulb. Allow about one inch• of space between bulbs. Keep the sand 'moist -and place the box near the light but not in 'bright sunshine and, of course, a heated room as these bulbs cannot stand any frost._ It is not necessary ward, but from the sand box they. to re -pout the growing bulbs after- ward; but from the sand box they can be planted out ,of doors, Be' careful in lifting the bulbs from the. sand, and it is much 'better to transfer sand -with the bulbs to the bed than to free the roots from the sand, Outdoor Culture, 'Igo succeed best tuberous rooted planted twelve to be onias should be v ve g sixteen inches rt in beds where ic s spa the soil has 'been carefully prepared,, They love a light, rich soil, •and : to make it so it may be necessary to add leaf -mould, thoroughly decayed manure and sand to the soil in the bed.
