CANDIDATE
HITS COW , WROXETER
Mr. M: A. McCallum, Progressive
candidate for South.Bruee, scored the
first big hit oi the campaign en Thurs-
day night, when m hurrying from, the
south end of the riding to his meet-
ing in Walkerton, he struck a \much
cow on the highway near Black Horse,
Kinloss 'Tp., and besides ditching his
car and putting the machine out of
business for the rest of the contest,.
knocked the bovine so completely out
that we. understand it has since yielded
up the ghost and been laid away as
the first victim of the battle in South
B roe. ' 'The glaring headlights of a
car advancing towards' his issaid to
have so blinded the TJ, F. O. stand-
ardbearer that he didn't see the milk
producer in time,to save the dairy in-
terests of our country, and, as this
Cow couldn't jump over the moon; like
the one' in the nurseryithynte; it stood
its ground and receivedthe big Mc-
Laughlin. touring in , the wish bone,
e cow didn't fall in vain, as the ex
?ber learned when he looked at
his machine after the onslaught. With
the lights smashed, radiator wrecked
and entire front staved in; it was ev-
ident that the victory of the tank ov-
er the animal had been anything but ,
a too one-sided affair. Any action to r
recover damages to the car from the
owned of the beast will doubtlessly i
be left over until after the election for
reasons best known to the candidate.

Alan -.Cobham, "Empire girdler,". completed
S his most elaborate air. -.venture recently when be
returned to England' after flying to Australia and
return, a distance of 28,000 miles,his great achieve-
ment, for which Cobham. was knighted by His Ma-
jesty or
� y K in g George; not only ly establishes Cobham as
one of the greatest • airmen of the day, but shows the
great, possibilities of Empire air routes. Cobham
regards his flight not as a "stunt" but as an effort
to discover the best methods of running air routes
and at the same time to demonstrate the praetic=
ability of flying.
No aeroplane voyage since the late Captain Sir
John Alcock and Lieut. Brown, of the Royal' Air
Force, flew across the Atlantic in 1919, has aroused
public interest equal to that of Cobham's: The rotate
of his flight to Australia and back carried him over
• France, Italy, Greece, Egypt, India and a portion of
the Indian Ocean. Cobham's British -made engine
made the remarkable journey without ever giving
trouble. • It is the same engine with which he Went
from London to Cape•Town and back.- His machine
has withstood the freezing cold of northern latitudes,
the burning heat of Africa and the drenching rains
of an Indian monsoon. The, flight has proved that
the seaplane is best for these long .journeys. - Cobham
received a warm welcome at landing points through-
-out the long journey. The lower photograph _ was
taken at Sartrouville, near Paris, and shows the
aviator being greeted by A. V. Clark, managing
director of the Canadian Pacific Railway in France.
London gave 'a 'tremendous welcome to England's
greatest peace -time her •p, -, of the air. Great crowds
Bite hanks d .th e an s of the Thames as Cobham's1 n
sped towards London, circled' Big Ben in the tower
of the House of Commons,: and glided over the water.
towards the Riverside steps of the Parliament build-
ings. Here he was welcomed by his wife; the air
minister Sir Samuel Hoare, and air marshal Sir Sef-
ton Branker. A personal message of congratulation
awaited Cobham from His Majesty the King. Eng-
land did not allow her joy at Cobham's return to
obliterate the memory of Elliott, the mechanic, who
accompanied him on the outward flight and who was
killed by a mysterious bullet while the plane was fly-
ing over the Arabian desert. Touching tribute to the
unfortunate mechanic was made by Cobham during
the official welcome.'
Cobham's actual flying time to .Australia and back
was 13 days 8 hours, but over three months were
required in making the trip.

Golden Text -Ruth r:16
Inthe' 'Boo'l,. of Ruthwe have I a
short«history of 'the- domestic affairs
of the family of Elimelech who lived
in the' time of. the Judges. A famine
fell upon the land of Canaan where
Elimelech lived The children of
Israel had been told to expect to find
it a land flowing with milk and stoney.
They did not find it a fruitful land
their •n that
but it was because oft i si s
the fathine came as God. had threaten-
ed it would, should they' forsake him..
(Lev 26t 19, 20).
EIimelech resolved to seek another
country so he, with his Wife and two
sons, went into the land of Moab -on
the east side of .Jordan . where there
was no scarcity.' In leaving the land
of i:srael lie did not forsake the God
of Israel but he put temptation in'the
way of his,sons.. He diti not intend
to settle in the land'of Mo,,tb but to
,sojourn until the famine was over Hitt,.
in the' meantime he died, his sons
married heathen women, and soon af-
ter they also died, leaving three lonely
women; '
Naomi hearing that the days of the
famine in her owti land were ended,
decided to return and her • daughters-
nil w <tcctinnpanied her, as an act of
oriental courtesy,; to the borders of
their own land. There she urged
t in truly
tlrent to return bet they be

farther. Naoini, though deeply touch
sign affection,. urg ed
rel by this of g.
them the more to return each
to her another's house, She tltanl.ed
them for their kiiidtaees to her and to
her sons and prayed that the Lord.
would deal gtaciouslywith them. This
paused them to weep and to pro- f BLUEVALE
fess a determination to go forward
with her saying, "Surely we will re-
turn :with thee unto' thy, people." Na-
omi then "pointed` out to them how
{very little she could offer them if they
persisted in their resolve. She did
not wish them to take, under tempor-
iaiy excitement, a step they might af-
1terwards regret The. arguments
of Naomi prevailed with ,Orpah, who
!returned 'to her people and her gods.
1 But . Ruth clave unto her. After
parting with• Orpah, in the customary
of the east, Naomi again tried
fashion e s N
, m
oto prevail upon Ruth to turn back,
urging her sister's example, but Ruth
n ended the -argument by entreating her
to cease her' urgings, for she' was re-
'solved to go forward. She would
travel with her.; she would dwell wth
:her; she would join' interests with
her; she would, join in religion with
her and nothing but death would part
upthis resolution
' them. ' -She backed t s
with a solemn oath which put an end
to the wordy'strife for Naomi when
'she saw Rufh was stedfastly minded
to go with her, then she left speakng
unto her.
They •now being Eike mud, journey-
ed on, day after day until they reach-

the city created considerable excite-

ment. Afflictions had made sur-
prising changes in: her in the time she
was gone that her friends could only
[ask, "Is this Naomi?" She was not
disturbed by their words, and Without
murmuring against her lot, she told
thein her afflictions were from God.`
The' hand of the Almighty•Was in it
all. She had gone out frill and she
had returned empty but the Lord had
not forsaken her soul. She could
say, "Now no chastening for the pres-
ent seetneth to be joyous, but griev-
ous; ',nevertheless, afterward it yield -

ness unto then which are exercised
thereby." (Heb, 12:11)

DR. JAMES T. MULVEY PASSES
Dr. James T. Mulvey, of Rapid
City, died suddenly at his home' on
Tuesday afternoon, November 2,;r !,
Heart failure is said to have been the
cause. His unexpected demise war
learned with much regret among a
large number of people, and especially
by members of the Canadian Legion.
Only last week the popular physician
was elected president of the Rapid
City branch of the legion. The late
Dr, lefulvey, who enjoyed an extensive
and lucrative practice as physician
and surgeon of Rapid city, : came to
the province of Manitoba in 1892, from

of medicine in Winnipeg, and aft ^r
winning his degree, opened an office
at
Minto, where he successfully foll-
owed his profession forsix years. He
then moved City, ve to Ra i p d C ty, ,Svhich since
remained in the scene of his prof •sc-
ional labors. In politics he was an
Independent, and he ably served his
fellow townsmen' in several pee' . s
of trust. Fraternally he was identi-
fied wth the Independent Order of
Oddfellows and the Knights of Pyth-
ias. His religious faith was that of
the Church of England. He eves
well known in Rapid City and sur-
rounding community and enjoyel an
enviable reputation , in professional,
social and sport circles. Dr. Mulvey
was a veteran -of the great war. De-
ceased is survived by his wife, there
being no family.

their deep respect for the deceased
by gathering about the residence'dur-
ing the service and later refying the
elements at the cemetery, The service
at th residence was conducted by Rev,
H. L. Roy. As the funeral proceed-
ed to the cemetery it was headed by
the returned men of the: district, im-
mediately followed by a :strong ,rep-
