The awe has ceas A and the luxury is taken as a ma r of course. Already, so I am told, matches are being struck on the marble columns and nails are being driven into the wane to support the members fyles. Man is born to such high destinies that no doubt he would get used to Heaven inside a week.. Still the aesthetic influences are at work and their effect is ailainly seen on the U. F.'s who behave as to •the manor born—not a yearn out ief them, for brown soap or roller towels or other rural surroundings. The noble architecture lifts everybody up, even the Senators whose feet feel better now that their fallen arches have Gothic arches to look up to. Incidentally, the noble architecture provides about twice as much accord- - modation as the old building did aad will require twice as many attendants to look after it in the way of mein i sengers, floor clerk, doorkeepers ad guides to the ba k stairs. Many humble jobs spring up in the shelter of this grand building, which has On million dollars worth of dignity to -;, sustain. , In Number Sixteen, which is rw numbered Two Hundred and Six n, I find a cornice decoration of vAtse old owls, also other wise owls, plity- ing euchre or smoking pipes. The burden of their talk is that time heals all wounds and that if Union GOv- ernment can -hang on a year longer the farmers' movement will look like a squashed tomato-. They regard Mackenzie King's immediate-elect:ton amendment as saucy but not ,fieritins, figuring that neither of the bad parties- really wants to go to the country at this moment. Timeif is what is needed—time for Liberals end Conservatives to catch their secOnd wind—time for the U. F.'s to get entangled with the end of their rape. I venture to predict that there Will be no election this summer— event if Premier Borden. fails to come baCk, which is not unlikely, in spite _r--Ertf , his premises. Farmers and Farmers _ .. time he is paid to spend in Parlia- sponsibilities coming into hie lifts As meat making eloquent eepursions a member of Caven church, Winthrop, through ,the country as the U. F. he was just as eager to serve his organizer. Lord as in the secular and social Mr. Halbert is warned. He is be- sphere. For a time he served as ing watched. When he 'goes to Colonel Secretary in the Sabbath School, then ' as an officer in the church, and for a number of years he and his wife gave their services to the choir in public worship and on other accaeions which were much appreciated.. A dutiful son, a devoted husband and a tried friend and neighbor in the truest sense of the word, his empty chair in the 'home and his absence from the many social functions he was wont to attend will be continued re- minders of the great loss sustained by all. To the mother and brothers and to his sorrowing wife the heart- felt. sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintance e is extended in this, their hour of sorrow and be- reavement. Cameron for his Ottawa pay cheque at the end of the month he must be able to say with a cleat conscience that he has not missed a day. His brother fanners, outside the U. F.'are keen on this point, because Mr. Halbert htis advertised his high soern of 'money at some length and on vari- ous occasions. They are wondering if he will scorn it . enough to dock himself for off time on. teeth jobs or either. Watching the Bubbles. One rather neglects the main flood of the debate on the address which is dull and perfunctory but the bubbles are interesting. They are the under- currents coming to the top, Of such are the compliments being paid to Quebec by speakers on the Unionist side which betoken two things—that the war is over and that the Conser- vative party, whatever it may call it- self, needs Quebec at the next general election. These blandishments aim to divide and conquer, to split the: solid Quebec as Sir John Macdonald used to do and to deliver at least thirty Quebec seats for the protective tar- iff. Now that Sir Wilfred Laurier is dead his old opponents argue that Quebec is Conservative and will fol- low that path. No doubt it is retribution on two old parties, who pondered Mie farmer so long, that he now takes himself •, seriously and appears larger and larger' numbers at [the seat of government. There are in the House of Commons four Itindli-of farmers., and each views the other with a certain distrust. There are the farmers who were elected as straight Liberals and straight den servatives—and straight Liberals and straight Conservatives they remain. Next are the farmers who were elect- ed as Unionists but who went otter to the cross benches. with Mr. Cretiar. When it comes to a show -down they will line up with the fourth and mbst recent variety, the U. F.'s who were elected under that banner and tiho ask the others to follow it. One senses lively elements of dis- cord in this superfluity of farms. They do not love one another. There are at least to hostile camps—the old line party farmers and the U. F.'s—and other cleavage may develbp. The old-line party farmer looks with suspicion on his U. F. brother *Lim didn't find the party good enough for him. He forebodes that pride cartes before a fall and that the U. F.; is due for a cropper. He has been in politics long enough to know liow little the average member knows and he refuses to believe that the u.tp. knows it all by the grace of Gd and sheer intuition. This doubt keeps chipping awayi at the high confidence of the U. F. patty and bystanders already Profess to see a slackening of impetus in the Cretar hosts. e The movement 'got a little less than nowhere in Quebec. The resphn- sibility of office has taken a lot of the wind, out of it in Ontario. The prairie governments naturally refuse to be ruined by the movement and therefore take it in—which is a gdod way to handle it. The federal arena remains but the door to that areinf, is locked for a year yet and meanwhile who is to keep West and East, rtew • gazing with love into each other's eyes, from reading the truth the, which is that their interests are quite different. Such thoughts tend to moderate the high buoyancy of the U. F. Who may vote for Leader King's ameed- ment but- who knows that there is about as much chance of an election this summer as there is of Mr. Roatell taking too strong dring or jazz danc- ing. Moreover, the U. F. is under the sharp eye of his brother farther who runs on the good old party ticket and who doesn't take up with th6se, new fads. Particularly is Mr. Halbert of North Ontario under the closest scrutiny. Helpful Halbert, the Har- anguing Hasbandman, has according to all• accounts, a great gift of sturdy speech. How it will suit Parliament I do not know but it holds the little red school house breathless for honms at a time. Mr. Halbert's criticse therefore looking for one of two —..-things to happen—both,based on this ' itch for rhetoric. Either Mr. Halbert will make a partial success of the Parliamentary manner and become' a great bore or he -will fail to cetch the ear of the House and do his talk- ing where he is appreciated. If the former is the case he will be mbet assiduous in the attendance at Par- liament; if the latter he will use the Another illuminating remarks was that of W. F. Cockshutt, the panjan- drum of high proctection, who• got away from his favorite subject long enough to say that prohibition was not a success. This is taken to mean that the uplift wave is on the ebb and that Mr. Cockshutt sees it. Like other employers he may also have come to the conclusion that a sullen sobriety on the part of the working- man is not the best solution of the labor problem. Mr. Cockshutt did not say "More beer less Bolshevism" but he probably thought it when he said prohibition was not a succees. Me. Cockshutt's complaint is likewise a sign that Mr. Rowell's influence in council is not as great with Premier Borden absent as with Premier Bor- den present. Mr. Rowell is esteemed by his colleagues as a willing horse who will travel a thousand miles to speak ,say three yards and get two feet in the newspaper, but he is only a half-size hero when his protector is away. Another sign. of impending fate is the bill to dislodge by force broken- down judges, who lag superfluous after the superannuation period has been reached. Our Judges are mostly former politicians. Sometimes they are not even former politicians—they go on being politicians to the end of their •days, as some of their per- formances on special boards if in- quiry amply attest. We can name Chief Justices—but we refuse to do so—who have their fingers in every political pie -that is cooked. Being politicians at heart they like public life and as being a judge is an easy, torpid form of public life they natur- ally stick to it as long as they can sit up. Sometimes they 'can't even sit up—they fall asleep hearing a case and are crowbarred off the job while' they're not looking. There are at present ten lawyers in. the Cabinet, and a bill to dislodge doddering Judges anywhere in Canada at a moment's notice ought to provide quite a few soft spots to fall on.— H. F.

Garnet, secoed son of Mrs. George Habkirk, at his home on the 11th concession of McKillop. The seriousness of his ill- ness was not generally known until the day preceding his death, although 1- had been'confined to his bed with flu and its complications for a period of two weeks. For eleven years he had been resident upon the farm on which he died. Four years ago he was united in marriage .to his now bereft partner, and life looked bright and promising to them as they toiled together to make a happy, comfortable home for themselves in which they might entertain and enjoy the com- pany of neighbors, friends and ac- quaintances. Only the day previous to his being taken down he had been engaged in giving the finishing touches to a comfortable kitchen and verandah which he had erected this past summer. Of a cheery and bright disposition, the pleasure of many a company and social 'gathering was greatly enhanced by his preseage and the liberality of his services unstint- ingly bestowed that others might be made happy and many a heavy heart and burdened mind have been cheer- ed and lightened by his merry whistl- ing as he went about his work. In huainess he was the soul of honor, prompt to meet every obligation and equally ready to shoulder all the re - HAY Deatheof Former Resident. — Thee died in North Easthope near Gadshill John Henry Beaver, of pneumonia, following influenza, on Tuesday, February 24th, 1920, aged 35 years, 6 months and 18 days. He was bora on the 14th concession, Hay township, and moved when a young man to Michigan. He followed the trade of paper hanger and painter for a num- ber of years. In the year of 1914 he came to Ontario, and married - Miss Leah Wilhelm, of North Easthope, of which union they were blessed with four children, three daughters, Mar- garet, Belle and Verna, and one eon, Wellington. He was honest and up- right in all his dealings, his word was as good as his note, and he was liked by all those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He leaves to mourn his death besides his widow and chil- dren, his father and mother, Mr. and' Mrs. Peter Beaver, of Saginaw, one brother and four sisters, Mr. Welling- ton Beaver, Mrs. John McKay and Mrs. John Hannay, all of Saginaw; Mrs. George Gross, of Egmondville, and Mrs. Henry Herlech, of Stratford.

He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ferry, of Kindersley, and a nephew of Mr. Robert Parsons,. of Stanley. The late Mr. Ferry's illness was of very short duration as he was only sick a few days with influenza, which de- veloped into pneumonia. Mr. Ferry was taken to the hospital where he received all care and attention, but in spite of all the end came on his 31st birthday. The deceased was a very industrious young man and re- spected by all his neighborhood, where he has resided for, the past ten years and his early death has cast a gloom over the whole coinmunity. The heartfelt sympathy of his many friends goes out to his wife and little daughter and to his father, mother, brother and sister. Notes.—Mr. E. Detweiller, who for some weeks past has been under the doctor's care, is now nicely improv- ing. The monthly meeting- of the W. M.

In -the meantime Miss Ellis has been very fortunate in securing so able a teacher to take her place until Easter holidays at least, in the per- son of Mrs. R. Y. McLaren, who has proved such an efficient teacher in. a neighboring school.—Very much re- gret was felt in our village upon learning of the death of Mr. George E. Troyer, only son of Mr. Edmund Troyer, who lives near Hills Green. The deceased was an active, enterpris- ing young man who took a great in- terest in horses and owned many val- uable ones and won many prizes at fairs. He contracted the "flu" in a very severe form which quickly de- veloped into pneumonia, which baffled medical skill and trained nursing af- ter a very short illness indeed. His remains were interred in the Hensall Union Cemetery on Wednesday af- ternoon last, and very much sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents.

Union Stock Yards, March 9 — Severe weather over the week end in many country districts rendered the shipping of live stock an impossibility and this 'aerating's total offering was limited to 96 car loads, which included about eleven hundred bead of cattle. Buyers who operated very sparingly towards the end of last week in the hope that tali, morning's run would be heavy, when they would have a better selection to work among, probably at Rower prices, were forced to a certain amount of activity to -day and the effect of the shortage was the boosting of cattle values from 50 cents to a dollar te- apots. Straight loads of steers and butchers were scarce and the pick sold from $13.50 to $19.76, while three small lots of heavy steers cashed. in from $14 to $14,25. Fair to good butchers, which sold from $11.60 to 112.50, were more in evidence. The trade in cows and bulls was correspondingly strong and active. Some extra choice cows sold- up to $11.50. Two extremely nice heavy bulls 'cashed in at $12.76, and one 1,000 pounder bull at $12. The stocker trade was kept practically at a standstill owing to the limited cattle ship- ments. A' few good to choice springers sold reaaily at from $110 to $150, and one. nice springer at $176. Lambs and calves were not only a slower trade, but a dollar to a. dollar and a half weaker. Only in a few exceptional cases did choice veals sell over 21 cents per pound, the general run being from $18 to $20. Top lambs cashed in up to $21.60. Sheep were rp to a dollar easier.
