On 'Wednesday morning !about 9
o'clock, James Parke, of San Fran-
cisco, was ,fatally injured in a high-
way accident near Stratford. 1The de-
ceased .man and his wife had come
east to visit his parents, Mr, and

a week ago.

tal for treatment r,114 were brought

Parke and son Norman, of Mitchell.
The party, Mr. Donald Parke •and
Mr. a-nd Mrs. Janes Parke, were on
their way to Toronto to attend the
exhibition.
William 'fames .Parke was born 39

listed at Hensall in the '1611st battalion
and served overseas far -three years.

ried to Elizabeth Heaney

Speaking to The /News on Wed-
nesday afternoon, Mrs. Parke stated
the accident had happened so quickly
she hardly knew what had happened.
She thought her husband must have
put on the brakes, for &he looked up
and SaW a car approaching. She had
an impression the other car might
have been slightly over the centre
line, and her husband 'had swung out
too .far to avoid it. The next she knew
was after their car had rolled over.
The other car, with Kitchener people,
stopped and carne back to offer as-
sistance. The family remarked that
deceased had come safely through
three years of 4fighting in France, and
as a traveller at San Francisco he

BALLANTYNE 'CII-DOSEN BY
LIBERAL CONVENTION
Huron Liberal held their none
ming convention in .H-ensall 011 W
n0esday afternoon with a crowded 'h
The following were nominal;
Miss S,aunders, Godericb; 13. W.
Beavers, Exeter; Dr. ;Shaw, Clint
Albert Kallsfleisch, Zurich; Willi
Sweitzer, .-Stephen, R. R. Mack
Hensel% and James Ballantyne, inc
ber in the Jest legislature. Dr. S'h
and Mr. Xialblfleisch withdrew.
On the first ballot Mr. Ballantyne
received a majority over the combin.
ed votes •of all others and was declar-
ed the nominee.
'Far t'he speaking De, Shaw, presid-
ent of the H-uron Liberal Asso'ciation,
acted as chairman. Miss Saunders, of
Goderich, said she would let her name
go 'before the convention.
Mr. Beavers Said he had ,promis
his friends who had asked him,
stand, especially when 'he heard ot
ers were being brought out.
'41 'fed we are entitled to a gre
many more things than we are ge
ting in return for what we pay, su
as- car licenses," Mr. Beavers sai
as -king for the meeting's support.
Or. Shaw withdrew in favor of Mr.
Ballantyne, who had been elected for
five years and the term was cut to
three years. Mr. Ballaneyne has diff-
erent views on the temperance gnes-
tion, but he is only one of many
menrlyerse this thing was thrust on
us," Dr. .Slhaw said.
Mr. Kalbfleisch said he would not
stand unless at some time Mr. Bal-
lantyne thought -of retiring. Mr. Bal-
lantyne had been ready every minute
of the clay to do any service.
Mr. William Sweitzer, ex -warden
of the 'county, broke •the tea -panty at-
nosphere of the Convention by dig-
ging up county council matters which
figured largely in the last provincial
election in this riding.
"My grandfather was born in Swit-
zerland and my 'grandmother in Al-
sace-Lorraine, My father and mother
were Canadian citizens," Mr. Sweit-
zee said and reviewed his service in
municipal affairs.
"I wish to ask Mr. Ballantyne, do
you think I could go beck to my
council without giving a re -port. Has
Mr. Ballantyne once in the three
yeara. The member is the one link we
have with -the legislature. Has he ask-
ed what are your wishes or what -do
you want?"
',Where. did Mr. Ballantyne get
with cleaning up the court house at
Goderich. Did he clean up anything?"
Mr. Sweitzer corstinued, saying he
was not running the member down,
but thought he should get results.
Mr. Sweitzer declared himself a tee-
totaller who "never took a 'drink and
never will."
Ross Mackay took exception to th
chairman -(Dr. Shaw) 'having declar
ed in favor of one man and asked fo
support.
Dr. Shaw explained anything 13
'had said 'for Mr. Balla.neyne, was sai
as a nominee and not as chairman.
Mr. Ballantyne in Itis opening re
marks, said he had got quite a hit o
oriticism; he did not like • to. make
friction, they were all good Liberals.
Mr, Sweitzer was the man who sec
-
onded the motion ,not 10 have the
county audit. Mr. Ballantyne thanked
hii mover and seconder, Mr. Jacobs
and Mr. Geiger. Hepburn has saved
you !money, he said, the Conservatives
were .putting you in debt. Now there
was a balanced budget. He has ,saved
this .cottnty $126‘7,10010' through •Old age
pensions, 'highway interest, etc. In
answer to a written question, Mr.
Ballantyne gave a carefully worded
statement: ')If t'he municipalities don't
want beverage rooms, vete them out
•and I will remove them, I assure
you." The last time, he said, the
voters said in effect, let us have them.
While the ballots were -being count-
ed, Mr. W. 'IL Golding, M.P., spoke,
stating that Mr. Hepburn had done
all possible to carry out his promise's
and the people know jest where Hep-
burn steads on all questions. He had
improved the Ifinauces and extended
hydro "at reduced cost, 'h -e said.

Garner recited the following poem
which she composed:
MY OLD HOUSE
inn once more my Natal day,
Sidi in my tenement of clay,
With many favors blest
Now He who placed the structure here
Can prop it up another year,
If he should think It best.
2
Long hath it stood through snow and rain
And braved life's fearful hurricane
While many a stronger fell.
The reason why, we eannot see:
But what to us seems mystery,
The Builder knows full well.
3
But now 'tie weather -worn and old:
P1,0 Summer's heat and Winter's cold
Pierce through the wall and roof.
"Ili like a garment so worn out
to mend there seems no whereabout,
So gone is warp and woof.
4
The tottering Pillero are an weak,
The poor old rusty hinges creak,
The windows, too, are dim,
These slight discomforts we'll let pass.
For looking darkly through a glass
We catch s hopeful gleam.
6
Nature and Scripture tell us all
This withered frame 'ere long must fall
When, where, or how, is unknown.
We'll leave that to the Architect,
The hiking of it down. •
6
And when you see It prostrate lie
Let not sad tears be -dim your eye,
The tenant is not here,
But lust beyond time's little space
She finds with Christ a testing place
No more to date her year.
And though she walks with you no more,
The world will move just as before;
'Tie meet, it should be so
Let each his House in order set,
That he may leave without regret,
Whenever called to go.
MRS. IL GARNER.
