The resolution will go to the Federal Government, and copies to every Board. of Trade and Chamber of Commerce in Canada, with a request that it be endorsed and an agitation carried out to bring about the reforms. The resolution urges abolition of. Provincial Governments, which are considered "unnecessary and out of date and involve too much duplica- tion of services." Accept No Further Obligations London—While welcoming the Un- ited States Government's decision to consult with other nations in the ev- ent of a threat of war, Sir John Sim- on, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, told the House of Commons that Great Britain had reached her limit in assuring ablogation.s for se- curity. In the course of a long debate, the United States' enunciation of policy was criticized' by Right Hon. George'. Lansbury, leader of the Opposition, as containing "Limitations which Militate against its effectiveness," and was • lauded by Sir Austen Chamber- lain, former Conservative Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Laying down five principles of Bri- tish foreign policy, Sir John announc- ed that the first was: "We must warmly welcome and warmly res- pond to President Roosevelt's mess- age." NEWS of the DISTRICT Four -Legged Chicken Product of Hatchery J. G. Tweddle, the local chicken magnate, turns out chickens by the hundred theusand from his hatchery every year, but on Thursday morn- ing, he found something unique, and he is wondering if ; it is the first of a race of quadruped chickens which will have four drum -sticks when ser- ved up on a platter on the dinner table. The chick was a White Leg- horn, apparently perfectly healthy. But had four legs and feet instead of the customary two. It uses the front pair for walking, and the back pair, which are partly grown togeth- er, drag behind and are no help in locomotion. He will -try to raise it to maturity as a curiosity. — Fergus News -Record.

Spare the Birds During the past week a number of robins have been ruthlessly killed in this town, evidently by boys around with catapults. This wanton destruc- tion of bird life is absolutely deplor- able. The robin, besides being the. gardener's friend, is a fine songster, and should not be subjected to this sort of treatment. -Walkerton -Her- ald -Times, Steal Gasoline On Sunday evening thieves helped themselves' to over two hundred gal- lons of gasoline from the Imperial Oil Company's tanks at the C.P.R. station. A large amount of the gas- oline was spilled but the thieves got away with three or four barrels of, gas. -Arthur Enterprise -News.

THE DENIAL OF OUR SAVIOUR And Jesus said unto them, All ye e shall be offended. Our Lord had done his best to prepare them for the ter- rible events that were to come, but they were yet unprepared they would. fall over thein, they would desert him and flee at his arrest, as came to pass. For it is written. Christ is quoting Zech. 13':7,' a Messianic pro precy, I will smite the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered abroad. Thus also without Christ, the Holy Spirit, any body of Christians today lacks force and coherence, and soon is is scattered. This has been the history of many churches. Howbeit, after I am raised up, 'I will go before you into Galilee. •Our kindly Saviour, in his prophecy of smiting and scattering, yet inserted a note of hope and cheer: they were to see him again, and in their fam- iliar Galilee surroundings.
