That spontaneous !comibnlstion, and rot incendiaries, was responsible for the) great majority of the barn !fires which 'occurred in Oi'tario during the ast t'wo months; is the 'opinion given, ,ased on so`rnewihat similar occur- rence's 155 previous years as well as on he reports oif Fire Mars'h'al Heaton and General Victor 'Williams, com- missioner of prlbvincial police, Who since the fist cry of "'fire'hvg" ter- rified the rcoun'tryside, have had in sp'ectors and detachments of con- stabulary constantly on ,patrol and in- quiry in n-quiry"in the affected areas. A major- ity .of 'the fires which have occurred since the first of 'Octo'ber are techni- cally termed"se'lp'heating" fires, being produced indirectly from "fermenta- tion gas" that develops in oases where hay ,and' grass's are 'ha'uled to barn - mows without 'having first been prop- erly cured in the fields, This gas, which is lighter than air and 'highly inflasnina'ble, 'rises from the grain to the top of the barn, especially where there is lack of adequate ventilation, and only needs an infinitesimal spark or flame to eup'annd and explode it. Usually most 'barn fires oceur In Au- gust and September, but the mild weather late this fall relsu!ited in a continuation' of tiie fire 'haza'rd' into. October and November.

Fah- ner's store. He'wa, the eldest'san of a family of 10, of John Jacob Eilber; who died some, years ago. The father came from Germany and -settled in the then sparsely settled bushland which had been ;ranted Crediton. \lr. f Eilbec's grandfather, who was born in 1797 was a surveyor and a judge for 36 years; some of lin instruments are yet in the possession of 'Mr. Eilber.

D. Freeman, who conducted a general store busi- ness on the corner where 1V. J. Bee'r's store new stands. After a year had been put in, Mr. Freeman, not satis- fied with business conditions, secured a store in Listowel and moved 'his stock over, taking clerk Either with him. After he had considerable busi- ness experience young Elliott- return- ed to Crediton and with his father opened a general store in a new brick 'block which had been erected for them in 18180 on the site where it still stands opposite the Hil1 Hotel. The business was known as Either & Son and was successfully carried on for over 25 years. After the death of his father .ler. Eilber disposed of his store business and took on the business of insurance, conveyancer and municipal work, which 'he has since followed. The nanle Harry Either is one of the best known names throughout all South Huron. In 1850 he contested for De- puty Reeve and, later served :Stephen township for 118 years as reeve. At the close of the life of Chester Prouty in 1'899, ?Ir. Eilber was prevailed up- on to take the clerkship of the town- ship, which he accepted and which he still Fullfills. He attended 22 sessions o'f the legislature as representative of (South Huron, and has the unique re- cord of having never been defeated in any office he ever contested. He has been -manager for the past 512 years of the Hay Tovvns'h•ip Mutual Fire In- surance Co. He was clerk of the work and chairman of the 'committee :luring the building of the large Ev- angelical Church in 1896. Mr. Eilber spends considerable time during each se'aso'n in his garden and "with Isis feathered friends. His residenti'a'l property is pleasant to be- hold. 'He is a great lover of flowers, especially roses, many •varieties of which he imports from England and (Hollan'd, He says' his experience with the )English varieties is not just as successful as with the H'oll'and. He itas numerous h'ird houses around his garden and the past year had over 25 'fainilies of :blue martins, as well as other species of birds. Mrs. 'Either enjoys with 'her huslb'ansi the fruits of their long life together and just last year quietly observed their fiftieth wedding anniversary.

ONTARI'O'S POPULATION. Ontario's population rose by 15 per cent during the decade between 1921 and 1931. The census return made public this treed: showed that . the census enumerator's last June found a total of3,426,418'8 people in the prov- ince as compared with 2,933,662 in the' 1921 census. rising to ,79.4,794 people, the po- pulation o'f Toronto and York, all of which is roughly within two hours' motoring of King and Vonge Streets,. showed an increase of 4a per cent, In r 1921 this area had a population of 588,1149. ;Speculation has arisen as to the number o[p arliamentart ,cats Ont- ario will lose at the redistribution which is to be held before the next general election. Quebec's population, on which the completion of the other provinces' respective parliamentary representations are based, has not yet been cdmp•ileal buE'it is believed to have increased at a faster rate than Ontario's. In the circumstances, pre- dictions here are that the next House of Commons will be smaller than the present one by 10 seats, having only- 235 nly235 members. Ontario will have to give up two or three of its represen- tatives. 'While Ontario as a whole will lose seats, the prabability seems to be that Toronto will gain at least one. A new seat likely will be created in North Toronto. It is also possible that an- other York riding may be gritted to the present three. The menace Of armaments is the very roots of war and by war man- kind has been martyred, said Sir Ro- bert Borden, Canada's war -tune Prince Ii\'Iinis'ter, in a :message at Ottawa last week. More than ever the 'menace of armaments oppressed the world today he asserted. "'Can we estimate humanity's ir- reparable 'loss in the sacrifice .of the generation that went forth : to conflict nearly two decades ago?" he ques- tioned. "In 'how great measure are present-day '.burdens, destitution and distress due to the destruction and wa'sta'ge of that conflict and of past ,wars?" ISfr Robert eleailt vie], disarmament.. He stated that the nations signatory to the League of Nations covenant gave therein ,their ,pledge that national armaments should be reduced to the lowest ,point consistent with national safety and the fulfilment of itnerra- tional obligations for common action. Sir Robert declared that .in so far as the League may seem to have fail- ed in the almost impossible task of committing each nation to reductions, 'failure was imminent in the condi- tions," The 'League's ten years were but a moment in the world's history. "Can you extirpate in a mo'men't the root of an .evil abiding throughout the centuries?" lie asked. "Do you know of any human agency that could have achieved more than the League has accomplished If not, let us be-spar- i.ng of our censure." The difficulties of the coming dis- armament ,con'feren'ce should m'o't be 'minimized, cautioned Sir Robert Bar- den, Rem.emsberiug their past agonies, nations vulnerable to attack naturally demanded unquestionable security be- fore they di'sarmed. "Tiley accept the form'ul'a, arbitra- tion, security, disarmament," he said. "But s'hal'l there be disarmament be- fore there is .security? Those who urge inrmediate progress declare that arbi- tration and se:eurity have already gone hand in hand and with them should march disarmament. ]Brut how shall security be delfined and how shall you establish suet disarm'annent that science may not svvditly and suddenly supersede it with appalling'instru- ments ,of destruction presently un- known or tntrevealed!
