R. M. Young acted as chairman, and the first speaker was Robert Mo Millan, of Seaforth, who spoke some- what briefly' on the need of co-oper- ative effort among farmers, F. R. Oliver, M.P.P. Farquhar R. Oliver, 1\i1.P.P. for South Grey, heralded as Canada's youngest member of parliament, was heard with interest. He speaks easily and fbuently, and makes a strong ap- peal to an audience of farmers. He held out a hand to the people of the small towns and villages, whose pros- perity, he pointed out, was bound, up with the ' prosperity of the farmers with whom they did business.. The farmers, he said, were not snaking money, and they could not keep their boys and girls on the farm, and look- ing around for a remedy that for the con- ditions on- ditnis ext t he' four3 that other economic groups, such as the bankers and the manufacturers, were organ- ized, and to save themselves the farm- ers must do likewise. He said Can- ada was confronted by three great problems—the tariff, freight rates, and the national debt -and, proceed- ing to give the farmer's -view regard- ing these questions,he stated that if. a zrc tl i s ,�he �; t fur st would stand togetlt- II til Yrluel yjy W INGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES give clubs are canduo ted , anddecl r- ed that the farmers must be more business -like in their methods. She' intended to "tell the plait?, unvarn- ished truth" and proceeded to say that the North Huron organization had "no business to have a picnic like this," They., should "fill these grounds," and they could do it by hard work and sufficient advertising. Miss Macphail took as Iter main theme "Ocettpational Orgapization, and Its Effect on Government." Re- viewing some of the historic strug- gles of the past, she said the people were now struggling for economic liberty—for some leisure, for better education for their children, for a better living with less works, " Political action was necessary along with the co-operative movement. This was the day of big business, when the little fellow or the individual farmer -had no chance at all. In Parliament the banks, the transportation interests and the manufacturers had more to do with government than all the rest of 'the people combined: The farm- ers'''cause had been unfortunate in its leaders-Crerar, Drury, Forke. Upon Crerar Miss •Macphail ,placed the blame for the wrecking of the hypes of the Farmers' ,party in Parliament from 192i to 1925. Crerar today could. not be elect anywhere in the West. With a stn Iler number elected in 1925 they were much stronger, and by theirinfluence secured the reduc- tion of the tariff on automobiles, the revaluation of soldiers' :'lands, the Hudson Bay Railway, rural credits, old -age pensions, and other meas- urse Sheregretted now that, they had defeated the King Government in 1926—"we . might have choked some more out of them." In the pres- ent Parliament they had twenty-five Farmers and Labor men, "and not 'a dud among them." As results of oc- cupational representation, she said, independent thought was respected in Parliament and agricultural and labor problems were for the first time in- telligently discussed.. Looking ahead, she saw'Parliament formed of groups representing different industries, a democratic control :of .credit, patriot- ism and nationalism tempered with. internationalism. "The great struggle Iies ahead, ande must look for w o o a JU.D'GMfNTGIVEN IN ELEG-; TION HEARINGS N. A. McCallum, 114,L.4, for North Bruce, Disqualified -4 Petition in Case of North Bruce Dismissed with Costs to Petitioner Toronte,,,July ?,6, A judgment handed down today by, Justices Rose and Fisher. at ,Osg,00de .I:-Iall disqual- ified, N.. A. McCallum,. M.L,A,: for South Bruce Their lordships found Po corrupt practices on the part. of Anderson, the Liberal candidate. The petition in the case of North Bruce is dismissed, the costs to be. paid by the petitioner, W. H. Fenton, Progressive candidate in the lasts. pro- vin'cial election. By this decision, A. P. Mewhinney, Liberal, retains his seat. Justice Rose in giving judgment said, that the determination of the case of South Bruce will serve to call public attention to the fact that the offering of valuable consideration to a candidate or any other persons in order to withdraw from being a can- didate is something that will not be tolerated.. "If and when an application" is made to Ius to direct the crown attorney not to prosecute we will hear argu- ment both as to whether seciton 87 really confers power to give -direction' and as to whether the power, if it exists, ought to be exercised," said his lordship. Justice Fisher concurred in the finding. Details of Cases. In_ the South Bruce case, McCal- lum admitted in the witness box that previous to the .nominations he had signed a note for $1,000 to recom- pense J. C. Anderson, prospective Liberal candidate, for expenses al- ready incurred, on condition that An- derson would retire and leave the field to McCallum and his Conserva- tive opponent. 'McCallum said he had done this afterb u e i � s a assured there was nothing wrong about it; that it was simply a matter of campaign con- tributions. • In the North Bruce case it was al- leged that money, " or position had been offered the Progressive candi- date, Fenton, to withdraw his candi- dature. The court found, that while an offer of that kind may have been Y lretiY spsn l ,order ill which those who male i• was probably made by else safiie of 'these problems could be 1 who was riot ail agent of the respon- prodiice the moods will reap the re -1 ward:" solved. To counteract the tendency dent Mewhinney, Liberal, who was el - of drift from the taffies to the cities, rural conditions must be improved. The farmers should have Hydro pow- er; they should hare good roads- not trunk lines only, but good con- cession'roads and sideroads; they should make greater use of the rural schools as community centres. In his own school section a community cen- tre had been organized and had been a great factor in keeping the young people in the country. Head of Co-operative .Company H. A. Gilroy, of Alvinston, presi- dent of the Farmers' Co-operative ,Company, made the most practical "speech of the afternoon. He said the farmers themselves were to blame for the circumstances in which they found themselves. For the last fifty years they had been going around in circles and had made rio .consistent to, effort t: improve their condition. Un- til recently all their movements had been on a voluntary basis—the farm- er dealt with his company when he felt like it and left it when it pleas- ed him to do so. Now they were proceeding, as in the case of the wheat pool, on the basis of an enforc- able contract. With an organization 0± this nature their leaders or officers could do business effectively ,could back up their demands with the pow- er of ' a strong organization. What could be done with a proper .organi- zation had been shown in the success of the wheat pool, and the speaker used illustrations from the hog mar- ket and egg poor to show what co- operation on a proper basis would mean to the farmers. Until the farm- ers stood shoulder to shoulder he was afraid the conditions of their in- dustry would be no heifer than they are, The U.F.O. Candidate. Sheldon Bricker, the U.F.O. candi- date for North Huron ,was the next speaker and used the opportunity to tell his audience "just who I are." He had been connected with the farmers' co-operative movement for a number of years, he said, and, shipped live ,stock and handled grain for the farmers in the village of Fordwich. -Ie told of the campaigns in which ha had assisted the late John King, and stated that, no matter who else mightbe in the coming bye -election campaign, Sheldon Bricker would be in it. Miss Macphail. Miss Macphail was the last speaker. Referring to the small number pres- ent, she said, that on Friday in South- east Grey they had a picnic which was an immense 'success, They spent $700, but they took hi over $1,4400, Continuing in a caustic vein, 51ie crit- icized the manner iii which cd -open- • HURON PRESBYTERY The Presbytery of Huron met in Northside United church, Seaforth, on Monday of last week. After de- votional ,exercises, presbytery settled down to clear up considerable unfin- ished business left over from the pre- vious meeting. • Perhaps the most in- teresting item of this unfinished bus- iness was the reading of a question- aire sent out 'from tae central offi- cers of the churoh erelti t:g as to the working out of eliiirch union. Infor- mation was sought as to the number of the churches closed within the bounds of the Presbytery as a result of Church Union. When the roll of the churches was called it was dis- covered that at least twenty church- es had been closed or sold as a re- sult of unions having taken. place. This gave the presbytery concrete ev- idence that 'duplication and unneces- sary competition were being ,eliminat- ed as a result of church union. Following this the election of of- ficers for the year took place. Pres- bytery' decided , that the election should be by nominationfrom the floor of presbytery and that the I •'t- ing should be open. The Rev. J. E. Hogg of Clinton, was the only nom- inee for the office of chairman. The applause with which he was greeted when he took the chair showed that the choice was a popular one. Rev. Dr; Barnby, who has, given sueb faithful service as secretary for the past two years, was re-elected. Rev, W. R. Alp was appointed assistant. secretary. Mr. W. G. Medd, M.P:P„ was re-elected treasurer. The follow- ing teen where welcomed as new mem- bers of Presbytery: Rev. S. Davison, of Winghani; Rev. R. M. Gale, of Bayfield; Rev. J. Penrose, of Varna; Rev. H. G. 'Whitfield, of St, Helens; Rev, A. E, Doan, of Clinton; Rev. R. R Comlo°r,, of Kippen; and .Rev, 141, C. Parr, of Gocl.erich. Presbytery expressed its sympathy for the Rev, J, A. Ferguson its he t thaincapacitated lu has him' illness 't . from work. The Rev, W. P, Lane, of Seaforth, and W. Maines, of Wal- ton, were appointed to arrange for supply for Mr, Ferguson during his illness, Presbytery closed, in good time to allow the members an oppor- tunity to hear Dr. W, C, Poole, who with Rev, F.

STORM DAMAGED HYDRO The electrical and wind storm Wed- nesday afternoon put the Eugenia Hydro system out of commission, for a couple of hours, the power going off about 4.3o, and everything was dead up to 6.3o. While not very bad in the vicinity of Durham, south of us there was a heavy storm. The wind must have been terrific for, two miles north of Mount For- est, no less than eight hydro poles were laid flat, thus putting the whole system out. It 'took a couple of hours to get this straightened out and turn on the power. Tonight, as this is being written, Durham and towns in this section are being sup- plied front the Eugenia system, while Mount Forest and other places are getting their juice from the Niagara system. The break means that the, hydro linemen must work all night to ea - place the poles and get the line coupled up, as it is hardly likely that the Niagara system can carry the ex- tra load when the heavy power loads go on in the daytime.' Considering the damage done, there can be little complaint of the break in the service or the time taken to get everything back into working condition again.—Review. HOME BREW STILL POPULAR (Kitchener News -Record) The popularity of home brew beer has not declined as might be expect - cd with the opening of the govern- ment stores and warehouses. A prom- inent local grocer today stated that he was selling practically the sante amount of malt and other materials used in the znanttfacture of home- brew beer as be did before the Li- quor Control Act came into force five weeks ago, Asked: for the reason for the continued demand for the products he said that the great dif- ference in the costs of the two kinds of beer accounted kr the fact that the brewing of beer at home is still general throughout the city. He point, cd out that the net cost per bottle of the home-brew, variety was 2i Cents as compared to approximately n cents for the government product. 11ouli iiii111orial,Ilat11,�1taitialiaiii to loiliaNiialil�Milawail iilallait liiiwast, lo r f,... _Specials.. � JtiIyIll�e�r s'fhl'e ■ YOUNG MEN'S SUITS Nov shades for summer t ear, in Light .'
