PROFESSIONAL CARDS, The •fo'ltowing looks more like an extract from a menu card than a heading in the ,wedding column ' of one of;the dailies: "Ham-Meggs." Some editors are having .a little quiet fun over Sam Jacobs, 'M.P., nuking the statement in. the House last 'week, 'that the 'man who could not snake a success of farming, might make a good member of Parliament. Such editors should renteneber that Lord Palmerston said he .night make a good Premier : of England, but he would not be able to make a good farmer. It takes an active man to intake a good farmer. t *« A few years ago, the number of dogs in Seaforth was greatly "cur -tailed," but lately their numbers have again increased„ Recently there have been many complaints of injury clone by dogs to flower beds; so meoh, so that one man claims to have four or lire hammers lying around his yard for use, (there is no charge for this advertisement of a new use for this article). But last Sunday night t g sone people who keep :liens, saw a big dog sneaking away from the s hen t • r t yard, as d on investigating, 'discovered the wire fencing aroaisd the hen yard broken down. It is supposed the dog, finding he had destroyed the flower garden, thought in this way to put the blame on the hens. *4. The spelling of some English words causes difficulties to the youth- ful mind at times. Many have 'beard of the trick of askingfor 'the pronun- ciation ciation oftho -word"bac kac - he," or the youugster who . pronounced "Stephen" as "Step hen." The climax, however, was reached last week when a little girl came to her motherwith a slip of paper on which she bad copied a "bad" word found in a book•at school. The word was "answered," which she had sounded out t "an' 'sweared P' nes c.

Pt is right at home to enjoy. The Budget.- The Budget debate came to an end after an all night sitting on the morning of May 1st and the Gov- ernment secured what was an un- expectedly large maj'ori'ty of 37 on the main division. For this majority they were indebted to the support of 18 Progressives and independents who came as so often before, to the rescue of the Ministry. It is under - 'stood that at least some of these Progressive votes were secured by a definite pledge of support by either a Liberal nomination at the general i'' election or immunity from Liberal opposition. Other votes were won by the Premier's threat made in :he closing day of he debate that, unless the government was accorded sup- port u -port sufficient to justify the comple- tion of the sessionalprogramme, he would dissolve Parliament. The Premier showed great effront- ery in making charges that the prog- ress of the debate and the general business of the House had been wil- fully obstructed by the Opposition. At least a week before the • debate actually closed, formal offers had been made by the Conservatives to terminate if at once, but they were rejected ; because the Government wanted to spin out the discussion and gain time to evolve a decision about certain important issues on -which they must immediately produce a policy. Mr. Boys, the -Conservative whip, clearly -demonstrated that the Liberals hadthe chief share' in the responsibility for. the ,protraction of .the b sci t tor or u � , p to April 29th, :Liberal speeches had occupied 843 oobttmns 'of Hansard, as against, 634 utilized .by Conservatives,,, and 558 tby Independent and Progressive speakers.. ,Clearly the claim that the discussion was stretched in order to embarrass ' the Government was,' a piece of brazen audacity. The terms of the Budget effectual- ly registered the incompetence of the Government and, to lessen the shock which it 'undoubtedly gave ,to all in-: Celli enc pea le verv stra ge tactics were employed, It was originally ail Y ,produced 'some days before. y b fo e the end of the 'financial year and thereby Mr. Onobb !teas given the excuse of offer- ing what was largely a speculative 'balance sheet. Then a month after the fiscal year had ended. on the first day of the atebtatet 'tile' Premier Here is a picture of the first ear owned in Seaforth. It is now on exhibition at London. G'z'ha't would be your fellings If 'a lady acquaintance who charmingly wore the latest Dame Fashion de- creed and' woes a 'most tip -to -date young lady twenty-three years ago, passe'i1 001 lof your life and you. heard not a single word of her until sudden- ly you 'should sheet her face to face still wearing the: 1902 creation, but her golden locks- streaked with grey and her step a trifle slow? It was a shock equal this that many iu town received when. they saw the picture in Thursday's London Free Press of the 1902 model, 2 - cylinder "Lizzie" which seas' the first gasoline car owned in Seaforth. The ace m o ponying article explain- ed how Dw Mr. Roy Scott, , b ecame the owner. ifs, Walter Robinson, regalis the first trip made to London by this ear as he accompanied Mr. Scott. They left Seaforth quite early in the morning and chug -chugged their chain -driven way at ten miles an hour to Hensall, where they made a brief • call. 'Roy was fully equipped (like the Ford), having , goggles and : long gauntlets, and it was the gauntlets which nearly ended the cruise. Just after leaving"Hensall, 'when he let go the steering wheel to pulp then. on, Lizzie started through a barbed wire fence into a nearby field. Noa dna e g was done except t to the P fence and the remainder of the •trip was made without accident..,. People scented to be able to hear the car long before they could see it and skittish horses were helot' or turned off the road: As 'they neared_ London they came to a toll gate where the old gentleman in charge, fearing tI>s chugging monster would speed by without stopping, got out in the middle of the road and jump- ed u and down pwaving's arms ,r .mnio great excitement. They „paid the: ten cents demanded and proceeded, arriving in the city about noon. Mr. Robinson says the car cost about'8800, and was in town for per- haps two years. Before buying it Mr. Scott had a steam contraption which did not work nearly as well as the gasoline driven "Lizzie." The rear seat was removable so that a tour- his place and inspected the machine, ing car or runahout,could be had at making a few adjustments for the with owner. .

Department in April may have scant justification for being credited to the previous`year and that cer- tain bills which should have 'been al- located to 1924-25 have had their payment judiciously postponed. But even if these suspicions are incorrect, the fiisancial situation as disclosed by the Budget, must create grave ap- prehension in the minds of the cosn- nttGsity, Insinuations that the Lib- eral government. as fervent disciples of economy, had been responsible for a 'greater reduction of the nations) dept than their Conservative pre- decessors completely :neglected' the fact that the Bordeu and 'Meig hen Governments' were faced with the burden' of very heavy postwar ex- penditures, ' which ceased about the time the 'King Government took of- fice in 1921, Mr, Meighen and outer critics sub- jected the Budget and the general financial policy of the Ministry to a devastating analysis and no really effective answer was offered on the Government side.
