In that year I stood, for the first time, on a political platform—my r heart in my mouth—making aspeecit in niy own village, before any "ain folk." If you think it's not a task— try it yourself, Forget Parties Divest yourself of party prejudices —that is what I ant doing now, as I write this letter to you. Look back ovei- Canadian history: A curious thing will come to your attention. The periods of greatest growth and development in the Dominion of Can- ada have been periods in which the Liberals were in power. That is not chance or accident. It rests on sorne- thing far stronger -far more secure, It comes from the basic fact that Liberal policies are better, for a coun- try such as Canada, than Conserva- tive policies, and so when the policies of Liberalism are .in force the record of progress is clearer and more dis- tinct than it is in any other period of our national life. The Reason There is a reason for this. The Lib- erais in Canada are a low -tariff party. That is, their tariff policy calls for lower duties upon imports than the policy of the Conservative party. Lower duties reduce the cost of production. When the cost of pro- duction increases; export demand goes up. There is a greater volume of total employment in the country and we have what is termed "good times." But perhaps someone may say we have unemployment now. That is true. We always have a certain meas- ure of unemployment. Conditions are comparative. When I write of good times in Canada and of improved con- ditions. I mean that the conditions are better here than they are in oth- er countries, and that relatively we are better off than our neighbors. And that is the position in.. Canada today, and has been the position of Canada for at least the past five years. Tests of Prosperity Let ns take two simple tests. If your expenditures have gone up and at the sante time your earnings have none up still more than total expen- ditures, then you are it a prosperous condition. It indicates that you have a greater consumptive capacity and a greater capacity to produce. In 1922 the total exports of the Dominion of Canada were $764,000,- 000. 64,000,000. :in 1:330 the exports of the Do- minion of Canada totalled $1,144,000,- 00. 1,144,000,00. That is a greater increase in to- tal exports than took place in any similar period of Lanathan ars/art. except the Star years. Now every individual, and ever} firm. and every nation considers its volume to .sales or exports a., an in- dication of its prosperity. in the same way every Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, every Minister of Finance in his annual budget speech records the growth of exports as an indica- , tiun t'f national prosperity. Thee tr- eaties constitute a proof of progress as does nothing else. The fact that to have tirade greater increases dor-. ing the past eight years than we leave during any other similar period is the evklence, complete. of the wisdom of the economic policies which have ::raided us. Canada now stands fifth itt all the world in total volume if expert business. And ill exports, }ler capita, we stand second,. Consumptive Capacity There is another intiicaticn of pro - :trees which is equally. ..r possibly more important. It represents the to- tal national ccn..umptive demand. I tit •. not: only eti' the total pre , r inn,Itsatwit: t,r tint 'cal produ:tit'n nlus imports kss the ami,unt of total Pealing '.anly with manufactured Ind •; teni-taranni.tetnr d i;r?ards, v.'e find that the total ••:19•ns¢tmptkn tai 1 pr'Idea t - in Canada tan 1922 (the :.a year C+. to ervati+,-v I, .aicies were forc0 n :es S2,6020t0,000.

We had set the pace for a new erainthe ii history. lie economic c r.tcr} of the Dominion .of Canada: And here is the point which,1: wish to emphasize, above all others. Those who defend the doctrines of extreme protection—that is protection as ad- vocated by Mr. Bennett—lose sight of the' main theme iii their discussion. They contend that high tariffs build up the home market—that even if you cannot • export :as great "a volttnie of products you have a greater hoine market. That statement 'is not" true. It is not true, because tariffs increase prices. The farmer, the primary man ufacturer, the men who bring wealth from the sea and forests, find the market fur. their products abroad. The prices which they receh'e cannot be infl asee.d' by tariffs, Under a high tariff they mee loay more for the things they buy The consequence is that the total volume of commodities which they purchase is less, and so the entire home market is, ,to a certain extent, destroyed by high tariffs. It Is built up when we reduce the tariff. This is so simple and clear that a child, not blinded by the passions pro- tection arouses, can always see the point. Years ago I said to my seven- year-old boy, as I gave hint 10 cents to buy oranges; "Will you be able to buy more oranges with that dime if oranges are't10 cents each than you could if oranges were only 6 cents each?" And he .looked up with all the arrogance of modern youth and said: "Stop your kidding, Dad,' So when your protectionist friends say that you will be richer than you are now when tariffs make dearer the things you buy and need and must u,r e, I am going to suggest ug gest to you that you give thein the answer which my boy gave to me—'•Stop your kid- ding.

Nearer the math highway is a ten - room cottage which has been pre- pared for a nurses' home, and mid- way is a small church of classic architecture, built in memory or the late John McLennan, former owner of the estate. • The location of Lovat Hall is for- tunate. Fifty-eight miles west of Montreal, on the lVlontreal - Toronto highway, and two miles east of the town of Lancaster on the C.N.R,, it is just far enough, away to provide a total change of environment and near enough to Montreal and Cornwall for comparatively easy access to these cities. A DARING EXPLOIT. Lieut. Goodchild Succeeded In Kill- ing Man -Eating Panther. Details -has reached the Old Coun- try of the daring exploit of a young officer, Lieut. Sidney. Goodchild, in which he killed a man-eating panther that was infesting the Indian villages of Mul Puthari and Sindewish. The Indian Government, having learned that the panther had killed several persons, mostly children, of- fered it reward of 500 rupees, and Lieut. Goodchild, who is attached to the 4-16 Punjab Regiment and was on leave, organized a big -game hunt- ing expedition. He was engaged upon the task for some weeks. Two days before his leave ended, he heard that a boy had been killed, and hurried to the district. Rigging up a hut above the ground, he waited' until night fell. About two o'clock in the morning be saw the beast approach stealthily. losing his torch to take absi, he fired. 'a he reeoil Trona his rifle knocked the t.rtih out of his hand and the in- furiated beast l':.teed at him, dis- lodging the wooden pole supporting tete hut. Lieut. Goodchild was aI- most thrown to the ground, but man- aged to cling to a branch with one hand, while with the other he whip- ped out his revolver and fired two shots. There was no further move - anent tea the part of the panther, and the young officer, not knowing whe- ther the shots had taken effect, de- cided to remain aloft until daylight. At dawn he saw that the beast was lying a short distance away. The were delighted with the et-ening's en- Subsequently, Lieut. Goodchild was tertainnxent, handed the, reward and the thanks of the Government for his bravery. Mr. and Mn...

Buying to Help Unemployment We read a good bit about unem- ployment in Canada. Did you ever stop to think that you might do some- thing to help the situation? You may say, what in the world could I do, to stop unemployment. Not much as an individual. But collectively, we wo- men could do considerable. Do you always look to see if the article you are buying; is "Made in Canada"? Advertisers tell us the consumer is boss, and that the gender of business has changed from "He" to "She" and that "She" is the great consumer. We should remember that we are in con- trol absolutely of our buying. No one' can make es buy the thing we do not want. The consumer is indeed boss, if we do but remci'nber, it. If Canad- ian women demanded Canadian pro- ducts, we could do a surprising am- ount to ease the present situation. Victoria Day Have you noticed the frequent use of "Empire Day" in place of the cor- rect "Victoria Day?" Empire Day is the 23rd of May, and is set apart for the study of Our Empire in the schools. Victoria Day will loose its significance, if called by any other name.

I stewed 2 . or 3 bottles at a time just as I would for immediate use, and bottled it while hot in sterilized. bottles. Doing ita few bottles at a time, you can arse the rhubarb while it is young. Old rhubarb would not be worth doing. There is another satisfactory me- thod of preserving rhubarb without the use of sugar. Cut the unpeeled rhubarb insmall pieces and pack it tightly into sterilized bottles, without bruising. Stand the bottle in a pan deeper than the bottle and put on rub- bers and tops under water. Use in the winter as fresh rhubarb. Jellied Veal Veal it at its cheapest now, and the shanks are about the cheapest part of the animal.

Pour over the strained broth and mix well. - If you like the telly use considerable broth as there is no danger of it not jelling. let stand until set and turn out to serve.
