WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES FAMILY POLITICAL ROW Five by-elections for the Federal House were scheduled for Monday, two of which were filled by acclama- tion. In Lanark, Dr. W. S. Murphy, Independent Conservative, defeated the official candidate, by a majority of over 1000. Dr. Murphy claimed Smith's Falls, his home town, did not receive square treatment at the nom- ination omination convention, and with 100 fol- lowers •quit the gathering. Smith's Falls must 'have been of the saute opinion, for it gave Dr.. Murphy 3118 voxes and 109 to Mr. Thompson, the official candidate. In Prescott, E. A. Bertrand, Liberal defeated Gustave Evanturel, Indepen- dent Liberal, by about 1400 majority, In Vaudrueil, Soulanges, Quebec, Lawrence A. Wilsoli was re-elected over Giles Nousseau and Emil' Caene, Independent Liberals. In these contests, the party man- agers, held a truce, and let the war- ring factions settle their differences among themselves. THE WEST'S SHORT CROP The certainty that, Western Canada this year will harvest about Half as much wheat as a year ago seems to be, causing little alarm in the Prairies. Unfortunately many individuals whose crops have been ruinedby drought will suffer severe economic conse- quences, but at this time it appears. that the gross return for grain in the three provinces will be little below that of last year and that, consequent- ly, their buying, power should not be greatly reduced. A few months ago wheat was .ap- proaching perilously close to the dol- lar merle, and it is reasonable to sup- pose would have gone below that fig- ure had the present season been fav- orable for production. Today there are plenty of prophets who talk con- fidently of two -dollar wheat before the year is out. Its is obvious that a farmer who raises 1,000 bushels at $2 a bushel makes more profit than an- other wlio grow 2,000, bushels at $1 per bushel, because his cash return is the sante and the cost of harvest- ing- is much sznaller in every respect. Of course this is poor consolation to the man who has no crop at all., If the West is able to harvest its. crop, without assistance from Eastern Can da there trill be an interruption to a seasonal movement of labor is hich has had much to do with set- tlement of our great open spaces, For. many years train loads of harvesters have gone from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces each fall to assist the limited Western supply of emergency Iabor, For a great many young fellows this trip was more than a means to a temporary job. It was a cheap and profitable way of seeing the Last Great West, it was an ad- venture of sorts, and great'. numbers of men have made their permanent homes there because of this harvest- tithe vigil.

August t'st; 1729 G'1.1N E.Ei `,l)O11 SLOWLY tilmwnel i atioxi of 147oxnen Ix> Ixieli:a Ifs Islaltinai Progress, Ti'houpelt Slowly, 11.re Still Carrying Coal, Tho ennancipation of Indian women is making progress which, if steady, is extremely slow, Tithe, practically every province bas given women .lie. vote, and someof them the right to sit in representative bodies; the pur- dah, or veil, is being gradually drop- ped, and women's education is forg- ing ahead. But on both sides of In- dia—in Bengal and Bihar, on. the one hand, and in Bombay, on the other -- the conditions under which women are employed in industry requireto be drastically altered. In Bihar, for example, they are ,extensively employed in the coal' mines, and the arrangement that bas been in force ever since the industry was started is that the man cuts the Boal and his wife carries it on her headland loads it into the tubs. Of course, where the father and the mother were the child had to be, that is to say, part of its•babyhood. and childhood was spent under- grr+und. The Mines Act of 1923 was passed by the Indian Legislature in the teeth of angry protests from the heads of the mining industry in Bi- har. The mine owners were afraid that it would empty their _ pits of labor. These fears, however, have proved to be largely groundless; the miner is adapting himself to the new conditions,, and the total emancipa- tion of •the woman coal carrier is therefore only a question of a few years more. The ease of the woman factory laborer in the Bombay cotton mills is a harder one; indeed, it is only one aspect of a condition so oppres- sive as to have reduced the workers to a. chronic' state of discontent. The mill hands in Bombay have been file many months during the past year,. ,.and one powerful cause of this fric- tion is unquestionably their inconsid- erate treatment at the hands of the mill owners. A well-informed writer in the Times of India drew an af- fecting picture of the lot of the wo- man mill workers in. Bombay Presi- dency a year or two ago. Thirty-seven per cent, of these peo- ple live by families in single rooms. The woman mill worker, after doing her ten hours in the mill, has to re- turn to these congested conditions, and has to cook for her family and look after her children. This brings. her working day up to sixteen or seventeen hours. The effect of these conditions on the mill hands has, of course, been extremely injurious, thepe- riodical and from this point of viewp riodical strikes are almost a bless- ing, for a welcome period of rest and recruitment is thus obtained.

COMPENSATION COSTS ° In the half year ending June 30, the Workmen's Compensation Board a- warded benefits amounting to $3,991, 646.78, of which $681,432.39 was for medical aid. The total awards fox the half year are nearly half a million dollars higher than for the same per- iod in. 1928. There were 41,515 accidents includ- ing 225 fatal cases reported to the Compensation Board for the half year as compared with 35,202 for the first half of 1928 with 276 fatalities. The drop in fatal cases is gratifying but the, increase of more than 1,000 re- ported accidents . per month in the first six months of 1929 is of vital importance to idustry. Commenting on these figures, R. B. Morley, general manager, Indust- rias Accident' Prevention Associations, states that it is evident executives generally, whether representing indus- tries included inthe membership of the Association, or outside, must give an increasing amount of attention to accident prevention work. The ex- ecutivecommitteeWittee of the Associations have planned a more intensive cam- paign for the balance of 1929 and have latelyadmitted the Construction Safety Association to membership.. This will be the first effort but fortli by the construction itidustriee to low- er their bad record of the past several years. RHEUMATISM? Neuritis? Sciatica?

A woman big -game hunter recently exhibited two Rhodesian .ridgeback lion dogs at :a British Kennel Club show, which attracted much atten tion. These lion dogs are so called be- cause they are used in tracking lions and; when necessary, will even give battle to the "king of beasts," But dog -lovers who envy the owner of the romantic lion dogs can reflect that perhaps their own pets would give a good account of themselves ip a lion hunt. Mr; Cherry Kearton tells how the hunters of a certain African tribe once borrowed his terrier in order to discover the whereabouts of a lion that had taken refuge in a clump of bushes. The dog trotted into 'the bushes and not only found the lion, but attacked it, getting a. "bulldog" grip on its tail. It was still hanging on to the tail when the lion was killed—a fact that impressed the native tremendously. And Mr. Keaton had bought the ter- rier for $1.25' at a dogs' home. WHERE ST. PATRICK PRAYED. Thousands of Pilgrims Visited, Fam- ous Croagh Patrick. Croagh Patrick on the west coast of Ireland, the scene of thepenance of St Patrick was recently visited by thousands of pilgrims. Almost a per- fect cone in shape, Croagh Patrick overlooks the Atlantic from a peak 2,150 feet high, with island -strewn Clew Bay at its base. It was from this mountain that St. Patrick is said to have driven the snakes from Ireland. For nearly 1,500 years Oroagh Pat- rick has been a shrine for religious pilgrims. St, Patrick went there about the year 440. The following year, in imitation of Jesus Christ's sojourn in the desert, he resolved to spend the forty days of Lent in pen- ance and prayer on the top of the wild mountain that has since borne ha his name, . An. odd thing about the pilgrimage is that rarely does anyone. turn back,~,., Men using crutches An- ally reach the summit, taking fully five hours to make the ascent. fej, SILK LINGERIE Has, many desirable qualities, soft finish, lustrous appearance, stylish, per- fect fitting and comfortable.

A year or so ago the little province threw out a ' government seeking re-election on a promise ,to establish a form of state sale of li- quor, sothe present result will sur- prise nobody. Prince Edward Island appears to be unalterably "dry," which is its own business. Its collec- tive state of mind is mil to be inter- preted either as more enlightened or less progressive than that of provinc- es which have sought solution of the liquor problem through different means. Later in the year. Nova Scotia is to. be given the opportunity of deciding for or against Government control, and opponents of prohibition predict its ' defeat there. If control wins, eight of the nine provinces will be operating' systems of one sort or an- other for the sale of intoxicating bev- erages.
