unsettled condition of that great coun-
try. The visiting minister compared
the chaotic . condition in China to a
river boat in that great country, pass-
ing along with the current, and the
perilously passing through 'the rapids.
,The message was . optimistic in its
mote and there seemed to be nodoubt
in the speakers mind as to the in-
evitable result : China/has resource

she has a virile people, an'd also great
vealth, but she •also has a soul, Shall

tic struggle, finding the religion of
otrr God, or allow a state of lawless-
ness and tyranny to,prevail. Several
illustrations were .given by Rev.
,Brown to indicate that once. the young
people of China get, an education, and
spiritual awakening; ,we can expect
to see a great nation emerge, and our
hope is `to •see China with all her

ELECTION IN SOUTH BRUC

Government recognition' of alle
election irregularities was. sought
day from Attorney -General W.

from the riding of South Bruce. T
claim of the deputation was that,
G. Anderson, intended Liberal c
didate in the riding, who retired: fro
the fight at the last moment in fav
of the interests of M. A. McCallu
the Progressive candidate, had his o
of -pocket expenses defrayed. for hi
The 'deputation contended that' t
fact, if true, should void the electio
Hon Mr. Price would not "comme
on the interview in which he receiv
the deputation. It was understoo
however, that he intimated: that an
complaint should be lodged with th
chief election officer and that the i
itiative to action lay rather with th
defeated Conservative candidate tha
with the Government, which would b
loath to take action in any such sit
nation unless the facts were so flag
rant as to require intervention in the
interests of public. honesty.
If was learned indirectly in connec-
tion with the South Bruce deputation
that fully one-half of the defeated
Government `candidates commun-
cated various acts of alleged unfair-
ness in the campaigns against them
to the. Government. The chief el-
ection officer has several of the cas-
es under consideration and will re-
port to the attorney -general in the
nt that he considers that any of
al action should be taken. As a
eral rule, however, the Govern-
nt is understood to be anxious that

THE WILY FOX
No doubt Mr. Editor, you have
heard in your Iong experience, fish
and bear stories but f would like to
fell you a story about a fox.
• For several weeks past, ormonths,
we might say, in this vicinity farm-
ers have lost considerable numbers
of chickens by a fox. This partic-
ular fox appears to .have considerable
wisdom for he knows enough to take
the best. He has the cunning of a
fox and the brains of a man, and he
can even drive a car. When some
poor unfortunate farmer goes to mar-
ket, he pays his farm a visit, and kind
ly relieves hint of a few chickens. I
leave to my readers to imagine the
rejoicing '
m
fow dom on the return of
Reynard. There would be Mr. Fox,
Mrs, Fox and all the other little Fox-
es to greet and admire the hunter's
return,
No doubt he would invite his friends
to celebrate his great victory over his
smaller victims, but my advice to this
particular fox would be, "don't, travel
that kind of a road too long, the next
tinte play lead to Goderich.
