STEVENS SPOKE HERE Blame "Predatory Interests" for Clos- ing of Factories in Towns. Farmers Have Been Gypped Out of $156,000,000, Says Stevens. An • attentive audience was present in the Arena here on Wednesday of last week to hear Hon. H. H. Stev- ens, Leader of the Reconstruction Party, speak on behalf of W. J, Hend- erson, the candidate for North Hur- WILLIAM JAMES HENDERSON Reconstruction Candidate on. He was welcomed by_.Mayor J. W. Hanna and introduced. to the aud- ience by Robert J. Scott, Belgrave, President of the United Farmers of Ontario. Ex -Mayor W. H. Willis was chairman. Although Mr.. .Stevens gave a fine energetic address, he was visibly tired from the stren.tious campaign that he is carrying on: In opening his address, Mr. Stev- ens said that four years ago he knew things were wrong that'could be cor- rected and' righted. 'The tendency is to make people believe that the de- pression came from gutside. Some were of the opinion that the New York Stock Market crash was res- ponsible but he said this had little to do with the ,depression. It was an ef- fect, not a cause. He said cur lives were divided into two distinct departments': first, dom- estic life, and he hoped all were 'en- joying happiness .in the home; second, public affairs, and here he warned the people to jealously guard.. their rights as citizens in the community so that they will not be nipped or taken away. Problem of Youth. "Canada ought to be offering op- portunities to her young 'people," Mr. Stevens asserted, "but what of this problem of youth? They ask what hence is there for me? They cannot tart a home as young people used o. • There" is a prohibition on young men and women establishing homes o -day" he said. He called the aud- ence's attention to all the young risen Om have had to live in camps. Par - lament, he declared, should not have isen until it faced the issue of our outh: He said he had drawn the at ention of the House at Ottawa that heyshould be studying the plight of outh, then riots and, unemployment would be things of the past.

HEAR FINE ADDRESS Miss Dorothy ` Douglas Told of Mis sionary Work in Formosa. The monthly Meeting of the Wo men's Missionary Society of St: And rew's Church was held in the churcl on Tuesday afternoon with a large number present.

The minutes and reports were given, business discussed, followed by" a delightful solo "One Sweetly Sol- emn Thought by Miss Sara Mac- Lean. ' Following the offering and prayer by Mrs. Wilson, the special speaker, Miss Dorothy Douglas, of Lucknow, gave a most interesting addresson her work as a teacher and missionary in the schools of Formosa. In this mountainous island about the size of Vancouver Island, live five million people. They are mostly Chin- ese, a •few savage head hunters of Malay descent and the Japanese who are the ruling class. There are 44,000 Christians who are being trrined to carry on the work themselves. There are five great ag- encies of Christianity in Formosa, all under the Presbyterian Church. The McKay Memorial Hospital, with 70 beds, the girls' High School, the Boys' High School, the Women's School nd the Theological College. All the teaching has been done with simplified Chinese Bible, but the apanese Government now demands hat students must speak Japanese 24 ours a day and all teaching must be one in that language. Miss Douglas told many interesting tories showing how Christianity had hanged the lives of so many who ave attended the schools, how they ave been raised from a life of fear, gnorance and superstition to one of ove and. service.

Our heavy frosts, rain, sleet, high winds of last week do not compare with the storm Mr. Nathaniel Bolt told of 55 years ago. That year on the 26th of October it started to snow and by Hallowe'en. night the snow was three feet deep. Mr. Bolt lived in Turnberry then and he tells us that the threshing machine came to his father's farm on sleighs that day and the horses were pushing the snow aside with their bodies. War in Ethiopia The Italians started their advance into Ethiopia last Wednesday when they bombed Adigrat and Adowa where the Ethiopians crushed the It- alians 40 years ago.

Addis Ababa, the capitol of the country. The Emperor, Haile Selassie Will lead an army of 1,000,0000 against the Italians. The League of Nations Cotntcil have suggested economic san- ctions against' Italy and this will be decided by the league to -day (Wed- nesday). The only railroad in Eth lopia is being fortified and the: Eth- iopians will fight to a finish. If"sanc- tions are put into force by the Lea- gue it mayr g mewl. a greate war or the quick. ettd of the trouble. Time will tell.

Lloyd, Catherine St. The Scripture reading was taken by, Miss Dorothy Lloyd, followed by prayer offered by Mrs. R. 1-1. Lloyd.
