IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS it is necessary to hand out another Ottawa, Feb. 2—Wapping its half million to keep Parliament quiet, long prehensile coat-tails firmly about the thing will be done. ° The excuse the rungs of its chair, Union Govern- is the high cost of living—that is to intent exclaims, "I stay here until a say the high cost to this country of year from next fall or even later."

With the purchasing value of hitting one's own friends. It of the dollar cut in half, fifteen hun- dred dollars isn't as much as it looks. It cheers, but it does not inebriate. ,Still it ought to be good for one session's support. he Conservative party in the House ee le about equally divided between those who would give it another -year to find its feet and these who would put matters to the touch now and rry the election with a rush. On t e other hand the Liberals are for an immediate election and so are the Ueited Farmers. The issue would, of course, be the tariff, and a quick elec- tion, while public opinion ie hot would be more favorable to the Liberals and the farmers than one a year later. The party leaders have not forgotten what happened to reciprocity in 1911 through allowing in happy thought too much time to cool. The tariff is considerable of a sapper ,and miner both of Liberal and Farm- ersparties and give reflection too long play there may be sagging in the middle and crumbling at the edges. The cry just now, for farmers and Liberals too, is "approximate"—and the wise fellows say, that the elec- tion ought to be held while the "ap- proximating" is good. Later on dif- ferences might be discovered between low -tariff and not -so -low -tariff Lib- erals, between the Western fernier and his Eastern brother, which would make approximation not, such a sure card as it is now.—F. H. G. .• •••••••••••••‘,.. • • Meighen never will—or words to that effect. As Mr. Calder is credited with it gift for conspiracy, the close cal- Culators are again at work discussing the chances of a frame-up in which Mr. Calder, disappointed of his am- bition for leadership, should • march his Liberal Unionist supporters over to the Opposition on a tariff vote and send Union Government hurtling to its fall. Of course Mr. Calder would make it a bargain that he be included in any Government which he had help- ed into office. However, this looks pretty deep, even for Mr. Calder and I merely tell it here as a bit of Ot- tawa gossip. Another thing Union Government relies on to hold its supporters in leash is an increase 9f a thousand or perhaps fifteen hundred dollars in the sessional indemnity. The Govern - has balked at this raid on the treasury for quite a while, but self-preserva- THE HURON EXPOSITOR tion is the first law of -nature and if blocks a fair fight—this mixing the two armies up. Human nature, re- lieved of war -time gags and censor- ships, clamors for a straight issue and an honest battle. It goes without saying that Union Government does not yearn for an election which means its final disap- pearance. Neither do its supporters in Parliament, who realize that Lib- erals and Conservatives are reverting to type and that Unionists will not get the straight party, nominations at the local conventions. The dream of a Unionist Party that might live on with a sweeter smell under an- other name is thoroughly dead. The field is already so crowded with par- ties—Liberal, Labor, Farmers,—that have come out flat-footed for what they wantethat a Unionist Party with a hush -a -bye -baby policy would stand no -chance at all. Admitting that for 'Unionists it is appointed once to die they are logical enough in putting it off aa long as possible. 'Union Government, jointly and sev- erally, has a hang -dog look. Abuse, curses, revilings--these it could stand because it would mean that the Gov- ernment was worth getting mad at. Butlaughter—mocking laughter! Ah, that is too cruel! The Cabinet Min- isters go around feeling their necks ....those devoted necks for which so many serprds, saws, mowing machines and axes are sharpening. Strangely enough feeling their necks give them a sort of confidence—most of them have rubber necks which can stand two or three More chops before the head rolls off. Besides a rubber neck,- Mr. Rowell has the shield of faith, the armor of light, the triple brass of a. mens comma recti and that makes him pretty safe for the time being. One gathers that the Government does not cling to office so much as it yields to the stern can of duty. Think- ing of Mackenzie King, and T. A. • Crerar and Bob Rogers and Senator MacLennan and the others who are waiting to tear it limb from limb, it clamps its jaw and mutters, "Here we stick, lest worse' befall." It has decided to "carry on." The carryings on? Well that is another story. Can the Government carry on? Can it avoid coming to grief over the budget, the tariff, the Franchise Act? Close calculators say it can be done, arguing in this -wise. The Franchise Act is not a real danger because no Parliament wants to go to the country on the War Time Elec- For the past 23 years Mre. Munn has resided on the 12th cancessicin of Mc- Killop, where she died. She is ear. 'trivet by a family of four sons and One daughter, George, John and Alex. of this township, and Robert, of Mon- crief, and Mrs. S. Fluke; of ,Paris.

A touch of rep -by -pop, which will give the cities their share, is what the doctor orders. Remain the budget and the tariff— two souls with but a single thought' and that thought to stand pat. Will the Government weather that storm? Again the close ealculators—they have to be close calCulators for the Gov- .ernment sails . close to the wind— again the close calculators say yes, basing their answer on the chance that the Government will do nothing to the tariff with as little no* as possible, a course which commends itself to the friends of inaction both in and out of Parliament. "Suppose" some one objects "that Mr. King or Mr. Crerar put forward a traiff amendment? Suppose the Liberals and Mr. Crerar's Wee Frees vote together against the Government --what then?" It is quite reasonable to expect that Mr. King and Mr. Crerar may work together for good —said good being the discomfiture of 'Union Government. Such an alliance of farmers and Liberals, whose plat- forms are so much alike, has the blessing of Sir Clifford Sifton, Mr. Joseph E. Atkinson and several other prominent Liberals who have not al- ways seen eye to eye with the party. It would be hoisting Union Govern- ment with its own petard—another union of ti.vo parties with similar principles bent on winning an. elec- tion. It is on the cards then that the Liberals and the cross -benches may join hands in a tariff government. Even that conjuncture Union Govern- ment looks forward to baffling by means of its faithful majority which, ail defections counted, would still number ten. Ten is not a wide mar- gin. As Mr. Shakespeare says: "It) is not as wide as a church door. Buil,. 'tis enough. It will serve." A miss is as good as a mile. and a small majority of ten is big enough for all practical purposes. The danger of collapse lies chiefly in the Cabinet. They have, as I said, a hang -dog look and being hand -doge they are,naturally biting and scratch- ing each other. Mr. Meighen would like to be Premier Borden's successor if only for 'fifteen minutes, But so too would Mr. James Calder who goes -further and says that if he can't Mr. that are causing the unrest and dis- satisfaction of to -day.

This week, with rauch regret, we make mention of the death of another sister, in the person of Mrs. John Fluker, of Auburn, which occurred on Saturday last. It was, indeed, a great surprise to the com- munity when the news became known as she had only been ill a short time. Mrs. Fluker's death may be said to be a happy one as in life she had made preparations for the long jour- ney. She leaves to mourn, her loss a husband and two daughters as Well as an aged mother. Mrs. Fluker was well and favorably known in this vicinity as she spent her childhood days here.

After spend- ing seven weeks in crossing the ocean they • landed at Quebec, went to the town of Dundas, Wentworth County, where Mr. Tough spent six years as clerk in the wholesale firm of T. H. Mackenzie & Co. They then. came to the Bronson Line, Stanley, where they lived for three years on the farm now occupied by Mr. Wm. Cainie, from which fifty-six years ago they essayed- to the farm on which' both Mr. and Mrs. Tough spent the re- mainder of their lives. Mr. Tough was a Liberal in politics and a mem- ber of the Blake Presbyterian church, which he attended faithfully as long as his health; permitted him. For eight years be was president of the Bayfield Agricultural Society and it was largely due to his untiring zeal that Bayfield Fair became firmly establishecl. as an -annual event. For twenty-five consecutive years he was assessor of Stanley tewaiship and he, with cane in band and the tin box auspended from his shoulder, walked from house to house and from conces- sion to concession eagerly bent on performing faithfully and carefully his pleasant duty and ever sure of a welcome at every door. These annual visits at each home were always a source of pleasure to him and after giving up the work often expressed 'a desire to go throughout the town- ship and visit the many kind friends who were always so thoughtful and considerate for his comfort and. ,wel-- fare. Mr. To,ugh was a great reader, an intelligent conversationalist and a man who always took a deep in- terest not only in local affairs but in questions of world-wide impiart1 ance.

Tuckersmith near the village of Hensall,, thirty-three years ago, and although she removed from this vicin- ity in early childhood, she taught school for some time in school section No. 14, Hay Township, a, few years' ago. She was married to her now bereaved husband in September,1917, who proceeded overseas [mon after, and served as a Medical Officer until the end of the war. On his return last August they settled at Long Branch on the Hamilton Highway, a few miles out of the city of Toronto. Besides her sorrowing husband and widowed etemnother, she is survived by four brothers, James, of Detroit; John K., of Poughkeepsie, N. Y..; Robt., of Dayton, Ohio, and Hugh, of To- ronto.

Arthur Parker.—On Saturday -evening last the remains of the last Pte. Arthur Parker were received here on the evening train.. Thedeceased was attending a college at Windsor and was getting on nicely in his studies there and was Most highly respected by professors, teach- ers and itudents, but unfortunately - he contracted a cold which developed into a very bad case of flu, which was at its height in Windsor, where he was, and despite good medical at- tention -given by the military hospital and nursing he continued to grow worse lentil he passed away on. Fri- day of last week, and the remains were sent here on Saturdlay evening as mentioned, and were accompanied by Mr. Earl Miller of that city and form- ertir of our village, as he had, previ- ous to his illness been boarding with the Miller family. The deceased's disease had developed into what is termed pernicious flu, and to avoid any danger from the remains they were sent in a sealed casket, which was advised not to be opened, so the funeral was held from the undertak- ing parlors of tMessrs. Bontkron and Drysdale, and the funeral on the fol-, lowing morning t,o McTaggart's cemetery- was a private one. The pall bearers were coraraders of ,the de - 'ceased in the late great war. The sympathy of ithe whole community goes out to the bereaved parents and members of the family in. a very special manner as Arthur was one of the very Arat to bravely enlist from our village -with the 161st Huron Bat- talion when the call -came for vol- unteers, and he, together with his 'two brothers, Gordon and Wilbur, came home safely from the great war, although not without wounds and many narrow escapes, and were count- ed among the bravest and best Bel- diers. The news of Arthur's' death came as a great shock not only to those of his own family circle but to a hoat_of friends, as the deceased was a general favorite and a bright, intellectual, Young man only in his 23rd year and with bright prospects in the way of a useful and honored life, and his addresses in the Meth - dist church here and other places relative to the great war, coupled with a high, idea of Christian life and service, are and will be long re- membered by those who heard him, and his memory will remain fresh and cherished by the community and his death sadly lamented by those near and dear to him, and we believe that when the chuiches open again after the ban on account of the flu is raised, a funeral service will be held for him at Chiselhurst if not also in the Methodist church here. ,Briefs.—Sugar makingewill soon be the order of the day, but gathering sap until a good thaw conies will be some work indeed.—Our Spring Seed Show has been postponed owing. to the flu ban.

How to Make Your Old Suit Last "It is not every man that can afford to wear a shabby coat," Robert Colton once wrote. The words hold as true now as when 4est written, three-quarters of a century ago. Nevertheless it it needful to -day to make the old suit last--; though not at the expense of becoming tattered. Between the costliness of clothing at the one extreme, and shabbiness of it at the other, there Iw a middle ground where econ- , omy and good appearance meet. You min find this "middle ground" at your dry Cleaner's., 'He can tune up your old clothes and preserve your new. Every person 'realizes that business advantage and the social value of clothes well cleaned and neatly pressed, but there is more in these details thanimprovement of "looks" alone. Ask your tailor or your clothier. He Will infOrtn you that apparel frequently pressed and cleaned at intervals of two or three months, will wear frorn 25 to 50 per cent. longer than clothes that are not so considerably cared for. There is a sound reason for this. You wash your linen when it becomes soiled—it is a matter of self respect and personal hygiene of course, but it is also true that if left unwashed your shirts would wear out much more quickly. Perspiration, oils, greese and. fruit juices have a corrosive effect; dust and dirt have a grinding action—your outer clothing needs . purging of these -equally as much as does your linen. The cleansing gasoline baths of the dry cleaner'and the Press- ing of the presser, with hot steam working through the fabric, have a sterilizing action—your apparel is made as immacudate outside as inside, it keeps its shape better, and it is saved from tell-tale shininese. The old suit will last longer, and your new suit will do double duty if you will more frequently patronize the modern cleaner and the modern -presser. Get started on the road to clothes economy by .calling on your dry cleaner to -day.
