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. -Bruce Herald Walkerton, There was oily' a small crowd out Ito the Municipal Nomination on Men - day night.

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.

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.

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 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.
