He said that $800,000,000 power contracts err- •.teredinto in the. Conservative regime with Quebec interests were not only iniquitous qbrit illegal andi en o ce- c,. tn fr able. He drew a rather gloomy pic- ture around Hydro and laid the blame for this gloom at the door of the for- mer Conservative administration. . Premier Hepburn at • North Bay said: "We are paying for: power we don't need on 'that contract, and will continue to do so for the next forty years unless some steps are taken to remedy the `situation," . he stated.: "And I am able to tell you that the Cabinet now has such steps under consideration and they. will' be an- nounced in due time." The bonds of the power companies which deal wvith Hydro dropped in price to the tune of $14,000,000 dur- ing the Roebuck speech. Investors in these companies got the jitters. If these contracts are broken or adjust- ed they probably will have more jitt- ers. After _this lengthy discussion on Hydro matters and the statement by Premier Hepburn that . he has under advisement, a plan to relieve this Hy- dro burden, it will be most interest- ingtowatch further w c ft t ex developments: * * ac* MERIT MARKS The Toronto Police Force, threat- ened to strike if the merit system that has been in force for years, was with- drawn. The Toronto Police Force has a worthy reputation and anything that would spoil that record should be avoided. Recognition where recognition is due, is not a bad policy. Under the merit system the Toronto Force has advanced to a high's -tate of efficiency. To impair this efficiency would be -most unwise. An officer who per- forms some fine service of duty, un- der the merit t System, was given re- cognition for same and in some in- stances, more tawny, Some aro taf the opinion that one should do his duty wvithoot added reward and, no doubt, they are right. But, human na- ture is pee -ober in the, fact that a pat on •t lye baric•, or its i;quivalt,nt, goes a Jong way with any. individual, If this so-called pat on the :back tends to • better efficiency in a police force or other organization, then why not coil - time it. * * * Captain Elmore Philpott has re- turned to his first- love, the Liberal Party.

The central counties re- port little hay moving, although stock held by farmers is low. Most of the farmers are feeding other roughages, and saving the little hay they have for later in the season. Sonte ship- ments are being made from the Ot- tawa Valley to mining and lumber camps in Northern Ontario and to the Maritimes, with prices ranging from $10 to $12 a ton. In Southwestern Ontario the de- mand for hay is slow as consumers seen; to have sufficient supply to car- ry them for another month. A good supply of roots and ensilage is help- ing to carry the stock through in good 8 condition. Feed and other roughage is being 'conserved against having to buy hay, In some districts there is quite a demand for sawdust, shavings, etc., for bedding livestock. In Essex: County many fanners are feeding corn fodder to horses instead of :hay. How- ever, later in the season a real de- mand for' hay is likely to develop, Prices being paid growers per ton at principal market centres, less freight costs, are: For ,timothy No. 1 $16.00 to $18.50; No. 2, $14 to $16; No. 3 $12 to $14. Wheat straw, $7 to $8; oat st°law $5.50 to $7.50. Ontario Association Agricultural Societies An important change was made at the Ontario Association of Fairs and Exhibitions Convention, Acting on Notice of Motion given at last year's Convention, the name was changed to the Ontario Association of Agricul- tural Societies. The former name had been used since 1905, previous to which the Can- adian Association of Fairs and Exhi- bitions had functioned. The, historic forbidden to eat, by the taw of God, 'Jews nor Gentiles were henceforth un- forerunner had been the Agricultural because classed as unclean. Leviticus der the law of Moses, but were saved and Arts Association which gave alone "through the grace of the Lord leadership in a Provincial way for Jesus Christ." II. tells of these very plainly, as part of the divine law given by God to Moses for the Israelites—and Peter was an Israelite, Peter answered: "Nof so, Lord; for 1 'have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." But Peter made a great mistake just here, as Dr. Graham Scraggie has pointed out. If. Peter said "Lord" he ought not to say, "Not so." 'If he said "Not .so," he could not honestly say "Lord.". When Christ is truly our Lord, we do not argue'' or disagree with anything He tells us to do. If we argue or disagree, we are denying His Lordship over us. The answer canter "What God hath. cleansed, that call not thou common," Peter was being taught tine lesson, hard for the Jews to learn at first, that their own Messiah, having ful- filled the Old Testament law of God, had the Divine authority to command His people in new and different ways from those that were required under the old dispensation. Let us not make the Mistake, however, of thinking that Peter or the Jews had a primitive or mistaken idea that certain 'meats' were clean" anri others unclean, This was not the Jews' "ntistak'ett" notion; it was God's own law. But when God ushered in the dispensation of grace by the death and resurrection of His own .Sent, then God could set aside, as He did, certain laws that, were of vital importance until after Christ liad delivered men from the law and brought then; tinder grace. While Peter was sorely puzzled as to the rneaning of his vision, the 'nen News and Information For The Busy Farmer The Poultry Breeding Pen. At this tune• of the year some thought should be given to the selec- tion of the breeding pens.' Trap nest records are the best means of select- ing birds for this pttrpese, however, where these are not available, it is considered wise to select females of good substance, body capacity, clean cue well defined heads, with :good clean flat boned shanks, and a good healthy appearance of vigour and cap- , acity. Choose only hens that lay eggs averaging twenty-four qunces to the dozen. The male birds should if pos- sible be selected from among birds of known parentage. Bear; Marketing Board An order -in -council has been pass- ed authorizing appointment of a board under the Marketing Act to regulate orderly marketing of dry beans in Western Ontario. Members of the board will be J. W. Ward, Highgate; E. Hooper Ni- chol, Blenheim; ," Ettgene King, Pain Court; David Carroll, lona; and 13. W. rancher, Florence. The board, which is provisional, will hold. office until Aug, 31.

Sale of beans on consignment about half a century. It was organiz- ed in 1846 and ceased to function in 1895. The purpose of changing the name of this Convention was to bring the name of the Provincial body more in line with work being encouraged for the local Agricultural. Societies. The objects as outlined in the Agricultural Societies. Act provides for several lin- es of work, one of which is the hold- ing of annual fairs. For thirty years the Provincial Body has been concerned chiefly with the conduct of fairs and other :agri-' cultural subjects rece'i'ved little atten- tion on the programme of annual Conventions. The change of name forecasts a modification of program. COUNTRY IS THIEVES, SAYS Editur av all them 1�Vingirarrt paypers.
