It may be that the U. F. brother- hood will proclaim its opinions freely in the budget debate but I doubt it. These opinions may not be softening down but at least they are not being played with the loud pedal, just now., It is part of the atmosphere of Ot- tawa which does not change one's opinions, perhaps, but which certain,- ly modifies one's enthusiasm} toward them. Many a crusader has come to this town with a message to put over and a'will to fight for it to the bitter end who has gone away a `strong friend of expediency. If Ottawa has any lesson for the fatmer militant • it is that compromise wins the battle —not hard knocks and straight thrusts. The whole gospel of party government is that a half loaf is better than no bread. If the farm- er's movements loses impetus at Ot- tawa we must not blame the farmer —he is the victim of a system that would mollify the very devil. Six months ago almost anyone of Mr. Crerar's faithful fourteen would have guaranteed' to lift Canada by the tail and swing it over his shoulder, making no more of it than a pound of feathers. But there is a distinct loss of faith now. The work of gov- erning Canada, viewed at close range, is not the light chore` it looked from the farm. The responsibilities are great. The experience of their bro- ther rustics in Toronto is not such as to sustain or encourage a high demeanor toward the cares of officer If the small -field cannot be tilled, what of the greater? Q. E. D. -as Euclid-, would say, with his brusque but salutary logic. What's more there are farmers in the House of Commons, who do not sit with Mr. Crerjar: farmers who believe in pro- tection, as most Ontario 'farmers do. That in itself is a saddening thought for Mr. Crerar's little band that the Farmers' Party bears the seeds of death in its own bosom, that it must fight its own tendency to burst into East and West or go up the spout like all the other thirty parties in Canadian politics.—H. F. G. THE CHANGING DREAM !Having made up its mind to die in two ` years or less the Government naturally wants Parliament sitting around as little as possible. It can put a better face on the sad occasion, and choose its last words with more deliberation if only the immediate family is at the bedside. This means short sessions—like the present one which promises to be over by the i middle of May—and gentle measures which will not start quarrels to . embitter the last mom- ents of the sufferer. It is hard en- ough to die in public, with every- body very body looking on, but much harder to die with ariot ragingin ever one's bed. So the Government will get Parlia - ment out of the way. as quickly may be and meanwhile do nothing that will furnish an excuse to mess the solemn scene up. It is even try- ing to be good—doing a little re_ trenel ing—not enough to claim any- body—but ny body—but just enough to show that it repents and hopes to be forgiven_ If you have any doubt that the Gov- ernment realizes that the end is in- evitable all you have to do is to listen to the soft ,answers Mr. Guthrie makes to criticism of the Franchise Act. "Do with it what you like," the Government fieems to say, It may as well be agood act as a bad one. We are past caring."As a the consequence the chances are that act will be a fair one, and the Gov- ernment will go down to its grave with some fragrance of good deeds behind it. If it were in perfect health it wouldn't behave that way. Moreover Parliament feels that it is in the presence of death. Hushed voices, muffled footsteps, baited breath; not a rough word anywhere —not a twitter in .the whole two hundred and thirty; no arguments to disturb the sick man; long faces, roll- ed -up -eyes --everything subdued to note of sorrow. A funeral is noisy beside the general mildness of de- bate. "Me too, is perhaps the cruel- est thing anyone whispers:- The hispers:The Deepening Gloom It is natural that the Government's approaching fate should cast a gloom. over the community on Parliament Hill. ° It is natural that Liberals and Liberal -Unionists and Conservatives and Conservative -Unionists and others who don't know whether alb they with still ever come back should go but why mournful countenances, thy should this melancholy invade little band of farmers headed by Mr. Crerar that heroic squadron four- teen I think which is dedicated tp free trade and victory? Why should this cupboard grief affect patriots so cock -a -whoop, six months ago -about killing the tariff and saving the coun- try? One iniagines hem speeding the parting soul, everything they can to help Union Government put off this corruptible and the Farm- ers' Government to rise up incorrupt- ible in its place. But the truth is that they don't lift a finger. They are as silent and subdued as those other coarser natures who see in the dissolution of Union Government the resurrection of the old political parties for which they yearn but for which theyare not quite prepared just at' the moment. How are we to explain this chast- ened mood of the farmers? The suggestion has been made that they are becoming junkers in spirit-- junkers are recruited ^the world over from the land-owning classes—but I prefer to believe that less selfish in- fluences are at work. Itts� is conceiv- able that the fanners ddn't want to take over the task of governing Can- ada until they know their book a little better. The hastiest glance at the Auditor -General's report—two en- ormous tomes packed with the most detailed information is enough to convince the average newcomer to Ottawa that he' has a lot to learn. When I look over the blue-books— whichI seldom do—I cease to Won- der that the farmer is bewildered by the mass of heterogeneous know- ledge. Of course there is always the ex- planation that the U. F: is subdued by his Gothic environment, the aspir- ing arch, the uplifting window and all that sort of thing don't you know, but if that is the case why didn't it have a similar affect on the Goths themselves? I cannot find anywhere in history that the Goths were re- strained by their achitecture from taking what they wanted. Look what they did to the Roman Empire—took it over their knee a couple of times and then took it over for good. Sim- ilarly I don't see anything in the new Parliament buildings which inhibits the farmer of his free trade and other pretty fancies—nothing that is to say buta vigilant and persistent -majority of some thirty odd. On the whole I rather discount; the daunting effect of good architecture— even architecture as good as John Pearson's- on our farmer legislators. A farmer who can look up at the jewelled firmament without battling an eye has no cause to feel like a worm in the presence of mere stone and mortar. No, that is not the matter. If the farmer is not as blithe and gay, as he was six months if he isn't quite as sure that he ag'e, knows it all, if he doesn't feel the same confidence in his substitutes for the tariff as he used to dso, ifhe doesn't see as much nourishment in direct taxation, as he once did, if he discovers about twenty-five per cent. fluctuation in Mr. Crerar's free trade doctrine -- if in short he has decided to keep his mouth shut while he looks around a CLINTON SPRI11G FAIR A very successful spring fair was held here Friday, largely attended by people from all parts of the country.

THE LATE THOMAS HILLS OF EGMONDVILLE Sacramento, Cal., April 5, 1920. It was with grief and sorrow I learned, just the other day, When I read the Seaforth paper That Thomas Hills had passed .away. That night, when on my. plow, The tears were trickling down, h village blacksmith As "oft a vz I thought g Who has gone to receive his crown. Yes, sleep had gone from my eyelids As I thought of my boyhood days; I felt his hand on my shoulder, And heard his kindly words of praise. I saw him coming towards me In his old time cheerful way, And these are the words he uttered: "Jimmie, whaty will; you; have the Clay ?" I saw his leather apron As toward his. fire he'd stroll. He raised his arm to the bellows, And shovelled on some coal. I heard the ring of his anvil As from the fire he drew A piece of red-hot iron, And the sparks around him flew. Perhaps few boys in the village Or the township- far or near, But knew Toni Hills, the blacksmith, And his memory will hold dear. I miss him now from the shop As my mind goes strolling by; I miss him, too, from his garden, Where the hoe he used' to ply. I will miss him each Sunday\ morning As the village I review, And when at the preaching service As I glance towards his pew. Missed from the street of the village Is this man of sterling worth, of St. Paul's, only the witnesses be- ing present. The bride was married in her travelling suit of navy blue cloth, with navy blue hat and grey bodice, shoes and gloves, and a cors- age bouquets of orchids, sweet peas and fern. She also wore the groom's gift, a handsome plucked, beaver fur. The young couple had no attendants. At the conclusion of the ceremony a' reception was held at thehome of the bride's parents, Princess street, for the relatives and a few intimate friends. After the wedding luncheon Mr. and Mrs. Lobb left on the three train for a honeymoon trip to To- ronto, Niagara, St. Catherines and other points. On their return they will reside on the groom's farm on the Maitland concession, Goderich town- ship. The bride was the recipient of many very handsome gifts, among them being a couple of substantial cheques. —There died at the home of Richard Clarke, Grey township, on April 4th, Mrs. C. Engler, an old and highly respected resident of Grey township though latterly her home was made with her daughter, Mrs. R. Clarke, of Elma. Mrs. Engler was in her 89th year, and besides her daughter, Mrs. Clarke leaves to mourn her loss Joseph, of Grey township; Louis, of Berkley, California; Carl, of Ottawa; and Mrs. Wesley Marquis, • Clinton. The funeral was held Monday, inter- ment being made in Elma cemetery. The pallbearers were Edward Camp- bell, J. K. Baker, Thos. Stevenson, o? i -:i ter, were joined in wedlock. e The ceremony was pe, -formed by Rev. A. B. Feeney in the presence of the *mediate relit i vas. The I young coup a went west iso the Ws - bash and 'will reside at Merlin, after their honeymoon. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rivers are held in high este nn in Sirncne, where they have a host :,f friends. The young bride grew up from childhood and had exceptional gifts that endeared her to her associ- ates. Mr. Rivers was in the employ Of Molson's Bank,. Exeter, at the out- break of war. With two other brothers he enlisted promptly for overseas and the three all returned, the groom bringing a decoration' for distinguish- ed service." —The G. W. V. A. and Band have arranged for a monster celebration in Exeter on May 24th, when the depositing of the 161st Battalion colors will be a feature. The 161st G. W. V. A. Band and. other bands will take part. Baseball and horse races and other sports will be held. —Doris, the little five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Schroeder, of Stephen, had the mis- fortune to have the -middle finger on her left hand cut off by an axe iTl 'the hands of her brother while they were playing in the sugar ar u • ush. The b brother was in the act of chopping a chip on a block when the little girl went to pick it off with the above result.. —A small blaze, caused by an over= heated chimney, took place at the residence of Mr. R. Miller, Clinton, on. Tuesday. The firemen were raisin- formed as to the location of the fire and took a run down to R. Mennel's but when they got to the right place a few neighbors had extinguished the flames. Practically no damage was done. —What has been known as the Shine farm, lot 6, concession 12, Grey township, has been sold to David - Davidson who recently moved back to that locality with his wife and two children from Flint, 'Mich. He is a brother to Robert Davidson, of the same concession. Mr. Davidson will get immediate possession. Also the farm of Don. McKinnon, lot 5, con- cession 8, of the same township, has been sold to George McFarlane, who gets possession at once. —The marriage was solemnized at half -past eleven Wednesday forenoon, April 7th, in St. Paul's church, Clin- ton, of Fannie Edith, youngest daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lovett, to Mr. Frank G. Lobb, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lobb, of Goderich town. ship, The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S, E. McKegney, rector an unbroken forest, and is one of the last of the original `settlers of 'Grey township. Atli the family except Louis were present at the funeral. —What might have been a serious accident occurred on the Deyell farm between Wingham and Whitechurch, when little Norman, the three year old son: of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Deyell, wandered out on to the railroad track and ran in front of the north bound freight train about 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning, The train crew stopped the train and strong arms reached under the engine and drag- ged the Iittle lad o.4, none the worse for his experience, save for a couple of bruises on the forehead, which might have been caused by his falling headlong on the rails in front of the engine. .

Died In Parry Sound. ---A former well known resident of this township died at his home in Parry Sound on Sunday in the person of James Henry Hart, in his 49th year. The deceased was 'born at Winthrop, where he re- sided for a number of years. About fifteen years ago he became interested in lumbering and with his brother-in- law, Mr. G. D. C. Harn, went to Parry Sound district where he was engaged in business for several years. Twenty- seven years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Emily Fielding, of Gravenhurst,vvho died at Winthrop three years ago, bit he is survived by three sons, William, Edward and Harvey, all df whom reside at Parry Sound.

Beyerman—Ross.—At Knox Pres- byterian3 Church, Mitchell, on Wednes- day at 2 p.m., April 14th, -the wedding took place of Mr. John F. Beyerman, of Brodhagen,- to miss Norma Ross, youngest daughter of Mrs. David Ross of McKillop. The bride was beauti- fully costumed in full bridal dress of white satin with pearl trimmings and carried carnations and wearing a veil with orange blossoms. The brides- maid was Miss Bessie Ross, sister of the bride, who was very attractively dressed in maize crepe de chene, and carried a bouquet of carnations. The groom was supported by his brother, Mr. David Beyerman. The officiating minister. Was Rev. Dr. D. N. Mackae. At thea close of the ceremony the bridal party motored to the home of the bride, where 'a reception was held. After the reception Mr. and Mrs. Beyerman left for their future home on the 9th concession, McKillop, where the groom has a new, fine farm A. Pioneer Passes.—There passed away at the home of her son, Mr. M. C. Irvine Blanshard, on Easter morning, a woman who was deserv- ing of much more than a passing notice. This was Mrs. Ruth Irvine, widow of the late Thomas Irvine, Deceased was born near the seashore in the County of Donegal, Irelai4, on the 3rd of February, 1825, , itnd was. ninety-five years and two months old at the time of her death. About the year 1835, along with her parents and the other members of her family, she emigrated to Canada, remaining at Kingston for over a year. They then moved to Yonge Street, near Toronto, but now included in the city, and near the scene of the uprising of the -trouble prompted, by William Lyon McKenzie, and she used to tell the writer of this article of the fear which she had for her father's safety, when he Vent away voluntarily to help put down armed rebellion. The family then moved to a farm in Toronto township where they remained for Ave years, coming to the southern rt of Blanshard about the year 1 42, that section at that time being all bush. In the year 1845 she was married and moved to a bush farm, where she remained for seventy-five years and until her death. She was a remarkably active and industrious woman devoted to her children and a firm supporter of- Imperialist princi- ples, and a member of the Anglican church. During the progress of the late war she knitted upwards of 400 pairs of socks for the young men, who went overseas to face death in This man of sober thinking, But also a man of mirth. He has left his family wealthy, To each one he has left a pile, Perhaps not of filthy lucre But of things much more worthwhile. He had traits and characteristics That people everywhere admire, For justice and square dealings He always was on fire. He never was found wanting As he strove towards the goal; He was not large in stature But big in heart and soul. He. was a man of highest honor, His word was good as gold, But be we ever so eulogistic Much still will be untold. One by one they- are passing As the years go rolling by. Some day the one that is passing Will be either you or I. So let us follow closely The 'same path as Thomas Hills, That when comes our time of passing We will be free from fear and chills. J. A. L.

Hay, Teacher: Hannon -Sadler: A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Sadler, Staffs, at the hour of six o'clock, April 7th, when their eldest daugh- ter, Myrtle Belle, became the bride of Lawrence Wesley Hannon, of the Huron Road, Logan. Rev. A. J. Love, pastor of the Methodist church, officiated. The bride gowned in silk erepe de chine embroidered in, silk, wearing a veil trimmed . with orange blossoms and carrying a bouquet of ophelia roses, entered the drawing room leaning on the arm of her father, to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Rhea Sadler, sister of the bride, and took her place under a portiere arch trim- med with evergreens and ribbon. Little Marzette, the bride's sister, dressed in pink satin, acted as 'levier girl, and carried ' a basket of carna- tions and Easter billies. During the signing of the register Ruby Sadler, cousin of the bride, sang very sweetly "Until." After the ceremony the guests retired to the dining room, where a dainty luncheon was served w i th everything in season. The groom's gift to the bride was a seventy-five dollar cheque, to the pianist a signet ring, to the flower girl a pendant. The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents. The father's gift to the bride was a five hundred dollar cheque and the mother a Gerhard-Heintzman piano. They will be at home to their friends on the groom's farm after May 6th. Presentation , to Mr. O'Brien,—The accompaning clipping from the Strat- ford Beacon has reference to Mr. F. O'Brien, who purchased ,Mr. T. M. Hamilton's general store and business and has taken possession this week. Mr. O'Brien who is well known to our readers, was• born on. the• lake shore road, in Hay township, near St. J'oeeph, moving from there in 1896 to the Mill Road, Tuckersmitit, where he resided till 1905 when he moved to the 12th concession of Hib- bert, near Chiselhurst. He moved to' Stratford in 1913, where he has re- sided up till now. He was elected three times for alderman out of -six years' stay in Stratford. The Bible Class presented Mr. O'Brien with a gold headed umbrella, and the ac- companing address: Aid. F. O'Brien who is to leave shortly for Staffa, where he has purchased a general store, was last night presented with an address of appreciation by the membersPof the Adult Bible Class of Trinity Methodist Sunday School. The address follows: Dear Friend and Bible Class Teacher,—Present as yon have been with us in all the activities of the church, we are again reminded how true it is that the best of friends must part. It would have been a great joy to us, as members of the Bible Class, if we could have retained your excellent services as teacher of this class for a long time to conte, but that is not to be, so we desire before you leave us for your new Lome to assure you of the very warm place you have in our hearts, and not soon wilt we forget you, though absent from each other, we may be present in spirit, each Sunday at the Bible Class hour. The faithful instruction you have given us from God's word from Sunday to Sunday, we believe will be as good seed sown in good ground, and will bring forth an abund- ant fruitfulness in the days to come. Your Patient, kindly gentlemanly de- portment, in and out of the Class, at all times, has deeply impressed us, The skill with which you have directed the discussions of the various ques- tions coming up in the course `of the lessons, we have greatly admired. It saddens us somewhat to think that these happy meeting days are past, and no more for the present shall we greet you as our teacher and beloved brother. May God's blessings be upon you, Mrs. O'Brien and family, until we meet in the' sweet morning land where parting is no more and to Cranbrook when the country was formerly of McKillop; Thomas, of goodbyes are gone forever.
