'Galli course lundheon on the way.
(Could hardly believe our eyes' when
'we saw we were landing at Le Bour-

1We have had a delightful holiday, a
week in London., ten days on a .motor
trip around Ireland' with some friends,
enjoyed that immensely. The Irish are
such a hospitable, courteous people,
and always have a witty answer and
e' smile ready.' We crossed to Dublin
from Livenpaol and going back went
over from Belfast. Saw all the inter-
esting spots. ..
You have to go through the cus-
toms just as if it were a foreign coun-
try. The people cannot find a market

!We saw the Oxford-ICatnbrid'ge
boat race on S'aturday and were sorry
to see Oxford defeated again. Clam -

they worked like a perfect maohine.
'One day we heard a debate in the
House; it was not awfully interesting
to us, it was on •the Housing Bill,
Ramsay 'McDonald was speaking
when we went in and we saw a num-
ber of notabilities. Had we gone the
day before we would have heard a
*wonderful debate, the best in years,
we were told.
Except in Ireland, the weather has
been idetal, even -warmer 'here than in
England; have our windows open all
the time, bhe trees are leafing out, etc.,

iWe had a very ,mild winter so the bad
,weather had to come some time.
There are very few visitors in Paris

spending much money. This hotel is

COIM'MnNITS OIN MI'S'S MAC- •
PH'AIL1S VISIT TO S'E!AFiORTH
(Peter P.lainman•, in the Stratford
'Beaooe-Herad'd, 'has bhe following to
say:
ISaturday night I motored to Sea -
forth to hear 'Agnes 'Maopleail, the
modern Joan of Arc, who is billed to
usher in ,the system of econo'm'ics
which is to be 1n Cann'ada. The hall at
wth:imib she 'held forth visas crowded to
the doors, seats being at a premium,
and her atid•ienee, comprised to a l'odg'e
extent of the fanmers and their .wives
of the district surroun'din'g Seaforth,
was an intelligent and most receptive
one. Indeed, one is almost constrained
to remark that the big crowd which
gathered there was ''are than usually
receptive and intel'li:genit.•H'uron coun-
ty is unsurpassed as a progressive
community. After a centuny of hard
work, thrift and application of scien-
t9fic :principles to the cultivation of
their acres, its farmers have reaohed a
point Where they are' in a position to
get' the most out of the 'heritage Of the
pioneers and to enjoy the fruits of the
efforts .of the past --?that was untilthe
depression fell, as a sort Of financial
paralysis, in 1930 and 1931', ,and wkidh,
unfortunately, has. not yet lifted. It
was to ,this community that Miss Mac -
phi,' came talk week to ;preach a new
eco'nldmic gos!pei and to interpret a
,few tenets of 'bhlat faith which is es-
poused by the party of which she is
one of the leading proponents=the
Co-'Olpera'tive .Com'monweal'th Federa-
tion, commonly referred to as the
'cJCIF,
One refers to this gatberi.ng as Miss
M;acplhail's meeting. and undioutb!tedtly
it was She who was the re'a'l drawing
card. People wanted to see and hear
her in a'c'tion. There was a very liberal
sprinkl'in'g of women in •tlhe audience,
drawn thither to. a large extent, no
doubt, because of a natural ,pride in
one of their own sex Who ,had risen
to disltinotion among the clhasen'af the
[Dominion. But, even at the expense
of being ungallant, one must admit
that it was her partner, William Irv-
ine w'ho made bhe better add'resjs,
whose language was more choice and;
whose deliyeny was more direct and
pleasing. Prob'albly he is. More the ,pal-
iti'cian than his more ad've'rtised help-
mate. Despite the fact that Chairman
McMillan, that outstanding apostle of
the faith af the .Patrons of Industry,
the U,,F.O, and various ramii!filcatioes
of that order, called a spade a spade
in true McMillan fashion,an;d de-
nounced niem'hers of bath Grit and
Tory camps as ab's'olute rogues and
rascals, Mr. Irvine was more disereer
and more diplomatic, He was not
there, he affirme d, to vilify any man.
He believed' ,most ".politician's were not
wilfully :dishonest; they had merely
gone astray, though one may have
difficulty in thinking alike with him
that an erstwhile honest ratan gone
wrong was more to be dreaded''5han
the habitually dishonest. This was a
loft=handd Compliment to MacKen-
zie King.
Mr. Irvine made a good speech;
but, frankly, Miss Macp'hail was just
a little disappointing, Probably the
fault Was that too much was.eapeoted.
Weil -informed she is beyond 'peltad
,venture of ,d.ou'b't; her sincerity no one
can question; her enthusiasm is entire-
ly worthy of any good cause, These
three have undoubtedly served. to
bring her to the front. She says s'he'is
not ambitious. Well, we can probably
take that with tlhe proverbial grain of
salt. Why shouldn't she be? But
though pleasimg in appearance, she
has a rather strid'en't voice which
does not d'ra'w her audience .closer;
and sometimes a domineering attitude
—or should one rather say a practical
commonsense—which is quite fre-
quently one of the attributes of alpols-
t •les of reform. Then, too, She seems
to lack in 'conveying" power, as
though she suffered at times from a
hnlited voca'bulary. The right word
was frequently beyond her immediate
ken and now.a. d them she played fast
and loose with the recognized inks of
syntax.There was a constant opening
and closing of the data at the rear of
the hall which plainly irritated the
speaker and here the pedagogue man-
ifested itself, She !p'aused, and intimat-
ed that she didn't need to came to
lSeaforth, that the cons'tan't banging
of the do'or ind'ica'ted a fault too com-
mon ,with C'anadian's, in that they had
too little regard for 'bhe` wellbeing of
'their fellows, just as very often they
were so impractiaai as not to ocdupy
seats that were empty. With this' off
her chest she Went ahead, and when
she had warmed up to her sulbjeot,
spoke with, one would' think, telling
effeot.
(Miss M'aclp!haiil condemned, as did
Mr. Irvine=-wlhblm, by the sway, she
refers to as "Bli'll" ,Ute capitaliatic

dead as Queen Annie and all we were
waiting for now was the funeral, I't

that they knew not, as Shakespeare
las it,- or in the more colro'quial fast
ton, "face the devil that you know

that the aim's of the GC;F. were mis-
represe'n'ted by its enemies; that under
its control .individual possession of
property would not' be wiped Out; •tha
merely public utilities would be teak
'over. While this statement .might
measure disarm any doubts it d'id' at'
nxatke real the hopes and aspirations ,
'of the apostles of the C.C.F. for the
simple reason that neither Miss Mac-
pdrail nor Mir. 'Irvine told their audi-
ence in an'y sort of detail beyond the
statement that the state would take
over the banks, hnw fhe machinery of
government was to be carried on.
It was the first political. meeting S
have attended where they took.nup a
collection, yet it seems, to me, that the
passing, of the hat was to the 'think-
ing auditor a real 'challenge ' to the
s'inceri'ty of the movement and vindic-
ated Miss Matbphadl's own statement
that if the .community which seIEtt,

their limited .number of associ'a'tes can
match effectively the financial 're -

Miss 3diacphail doe's, that the ,new re-

may be the beginning of still better
things in the constant .evolution of

The Brooder House
IA t: this time a great many chicks

ers and layers. F'ar!m'ers and poultry-
men realize that Manch and, April
thaibc'bed pullets a're more likely to he
in .heavy' lay at the peak price's than
chicks .hatched too late in the sea-
son. A let depends. on the avant •bh!e
chicks get, and fon this reason it is.
important 'thla't no disease geums are
lurking in the brooder Mouse. In the
first palace give the brooder house a
thoro'ug'h cleaning, and if hens halve
wintered in the brooding house be
extra particular. Not only sweep
dolwn the walls and scrape the door,
,but saturate the floor and wall's with
a good disinfectant ' This is not only a
precaution againak disease genm's but
against the young chicks becoming
infested With 'lice or mitres, either of
which might prove fatal to the ohi!cks.
I1,f the weather is cold it might ` pay
to fine the brooder house with paper
and put paper:. 00 the ,folor to slta.p the
draft, Then hlave the' 'brooder stove
running'for at least 48 Inners before
the' chicks are exlpected So as to get
the stove regulated to hold the tem-
,peratu're at about' 1,00 degrees F. un-
