SPEECH AT FARMERS' PICNIC
Sheldon $¢ricket Says, He;, Is in the
Bye -Election Campaign to Stay
(Crowded•ou last week)
Several hundred people gathered at
Menesetung Pa;rk';,Goderich, on Mon-
day afternoon under the auspices of
the "United Farmers of North Huron
to take part in the advertised picnic
and to hear the speakers engaged for
the ,occasions The crowd was not
large enough to suit the ideas of Miss
Agnes Macpltail, M.P,, who in her ad-
dress soundly rated the North Huron
officers for bringing busy peopIe like
herself, Mr, Oliver, M,P,P,, and Mr.
Gilroy, 'president of the Farmers' Co-
operative Conrpany, to address so
small a gathering.The chairman
might have retorted that Miss Mac-
phail's repeated failures to appear
when advertised might have made the
people skeptical as to her appearance
on this occasion, but he was too pol-
ite to, do so.
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.

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

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

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-

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,

time to allow the members an oppor-

of December, 1926, the results for
South Bruce were: M. A. McCallum,

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.
