THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTH, Friday, July 2nd, 1920
"MAKE BELIEVE LIONS AND
OTHERS"
It is understood in parliamentary
circles that ex -commissioner O'Connor
made the bomb but that ex -Commis-
sioner - Murdock threw it. The bomb
has ‘been ' hanging around ever since
Chairman. Robson quit the Board of
Commerce and the Government was
hoping that it would prove a dud in
which the explosive material would
rapidly deteriorate.
This Aid not prove to be the case,
Commissioner O'Connor taking care
that such a formidable weapon be
kept from wind, rain, ill treatment,
loving kindness and other destructive
elements. In a word Commissioner
O'Connor cherished the Almighty
special tidbit, namely revenge, and
when the time came for Commissioner
Murdock to retire, which he did when
all was lost save honor, he -found his
colleague not unwilling to deliver the
Parthian shot.
The gist of Commissioner Murdock's
charges is, as everybody knows, that
the Government. never really -wanted
the Board of Commerce to function
freely.. It was, as Sir Thomas White
would say, a make-believe lion, like
so many other Royal _ Commissions
whose object in life is to delay, to
report and to pigeonhole. Unluckily
for the Government two of the Com-
missioners seem to have taken their
duties seriously—one because he diked
the spot light and the other because
he was in earnest. This led to trouble.
The chairman, Judge Robson, one of
Artful James' selections, was the only
safe man.
A Safety Razor
How safe he was may ,be judged
from the degree to which he carried
professional' etiquette, receiving before
hand the other side's brief and thus
discovering, just where the strong
argument was which the Board of
Commerce could not withstand. Broad-
ly speaking, Judge Robson was always
prepared for the worst and knowing
the worst, from a previous perusal
of the documents, he could tell just
where not—to meet it. These are
Commissioner Murdock's charges—
that the examination papers, so to
speak, were handed out before. the
-examination was held so that the
man who had to give the answers
would pass with good marks.
The letter to Judge Robson in which
Mr. J. B. Hugg, representing the Gr-
-scent Creamery, of Winnipeg, enclos-,
ed the factum he was using before
the Supreme Court in opposition to
the Board of Commerce is said to
have met with an unlucky adventure.
It was placed on the wrong desk and
was given the once-over by Commis-
sioner O'Connor who has ever since
cherished the desire of placing it on
the records of parliament. Up to last
week the Government withheld the
latter as "not in the public interest"
but of course there are more ways of
killing a cat than choking it with
cream. Between them -'Commissioner
O'Connor and Commissioner Murdock
found the way, a little oblique perhaps
but direct enough for all practical
purposes. The withheld letter, which
may have had something to do with
Judge Robson's sudden resignation
some months ago, screens that great
jurist's face no longer.
Critics of the Government, who
smart under the answers "not in the
public interest" whenever an awkward
question comes up, are quietly chuck-
ling at Commissioner Murdock's
plan to prevent a letter of great public
interest being withheld by handing a
carbon copy to the newspapers at the.
same time he handed it to the Govern-
ment. This plan has its advantage—
it not only prevents the letter being
withheld, but it also prevents it being
lost, forgotten, or destroyed. One
cannot be too careful about one's
letters to -the Government these days.
The archives of the various depart-
ments are labyrinthine and the cler-
ical staffs are in such confusion over
the Civil Service Reclassification.
The O'Connor is Wavy.
It is presumed that it was Commis-
sioner O'Connor who took all these
precautions with Commissioner Mur -
clock's letter of resignation, largely
because Commissioner O'Connor knows
the Government he has to deal with
far better than Commissioner Mur-
dock does. At all events, the letter
did not go astray—as the one to Judge
Ronson did—and people who know
F, commissioners saythatthe
� �. � i ars

the CC
diction closely resembles . Commis-
sioner O'Connor's free flowing style.
He may even have written it, leaving
Commissioner Murdock to copy it out
and sign his name in a fair round
hand afterwards. Other internal evi-
dence that a Nova Scotian was at
least looking over Commissioner Mur -
dock's shoulder when he penned the
lines, is found in the compliments
handed out to Premier Borden—a fel-
low Nova Scotian who gave O'Connor
his chance to make a name for him-
self. Commissioner O'Connor, speak-
ing as a friend—Commissioner Mur-
dock touching the nen as his colleague
speaks — takes the ground that
Premier Borden wanted the Board of
Comrnerce to do well buy that it fell
into the hands of the sand -baggers
while poor Sir Robert was away in
search of his health—a sneaking ad-
vantage to. take of a sick man. Per-
haps we had better let it go at that,
remembering the while. that Sir Robert
had stock in a cold st9rage company
that kept half a million dol;are' worth
of food out of circulation last year.
Consciousto the Last.
It is the 'general opinion that Com-
missioner Murdock got out while there
was something to get out of. Thwart-
ed of its functions by one court and
another the Board of Commerce was
in great danger 'of death by anaemic
convulsions. *From this horrible end-
ing Commissioner Murdock's resigna-
tion happily cuts 1t off. It will die
now because it has nothing left to live
with—or for. The trouble with the
Board of Commission was that in spite
of all the opiates that could be ad-
miniatered by the Government or the
courts, it never lost consciousness. It
was clear sighted to the last and only
a few drays before it expired' its
accusing glance fell on a bunch of
Montreal uplifters who made -a clear
million and half by inducing another
uplifter on the War Trade Board to
put an export embargo on sugar, en-
abling them to welch on a contract
with Chicago purchasers and thus get
the full profit of the rising Canadian
market. The only uplifter who buf-
fered•by this deal was the little fel-
low at Ottawa who has since been
fired as a naughty little goat. M1 of
which goes to show the Board of
Commerce was getting "warm" and
that it was 'high time that its moral
glow on behalf of the ultimate con-
sumer should be extinguished.
The fate of the Board of Commerce
is a sad warning to all make-believe
lions that want to be real ones. If a
Royal Commission will not roar, as
Bottom the Weaver puts it, like a
sucking dove it must not- roar at all.

NORTH HURON U. F. 0.
Members of the U. F. 0; of North
Huron met at Wingham on -Friday
last and selected officers for the. dif-
ferent -districts. The attendance was
not large, but those who were present
were quite enthusiastic. -
It was•announced that a communica-
tion had been received from Secretary
J. J. Morrison, of the central U: F. 0.
executive, that the campaign to raise
an additional $1:000,000 for the capital
stock of the United Farmers' Co-oper-
ative Company, Limited, had proved a
complete success, the objective being
gained. -

McNay, of Ashfield Township, and
Mr. Shortreed, of Morris.

yet been appointed will be dealt with
later.
BEEKEEPING AND . THE SUGAR
SITUATION
With sugar over 20 cents a pound,
and the outlook of a possibly higher
price and uncertainty of supply, bee-
keepers will find it advisable to pay
more attention than usual to the sav-
ing of wholesome honey for winter-
ing the bees safely.
Each colony should have not less
than forty pounds of stores for winter.
The honey gathered' in June and July
from alsike and white clover is per-
fectly wholesome and makes the finest
winter stores. Most of the honeys
gathered from other abundant sources
in June and July are also wholesome,
but honey gathered from mixed sourc-
es in August and September, is as a
rule, less so, and is, therefore, liable
to cause dysentery which will weaken
or kill the colony before Spring. Some
kinds of fall honey are very injurious.
However, buckwheat honey and the
honey from certain species of golden-
rod -and aster that grow abundantly
in dry situations, if it ripens before
cold weather, are wholesome.
It would therefore be wise to save
combsof clover honey in order that
several of them may be placed in the
hive about the centre. These combs
should be given early enough in the
fall, that is to say, about the middle
of September, to allow the bees time
to empty a few cells to make a place
for the winter cluster to occupy. Care
should be taken that these combsof
honey are taken from colonies that
are entirely free from American foul -
breed. It will be advisable also to
save extra combs of honey sufficient
togive each colony one more comb
in Spring, but the honey given in
Spring need not be of the best qual-
ity.
A strong colony of Italian bees con-
taining a prolific young queen often
has very Iittle honey in the brood
chamber when the supers are removed
in the fall. A simple way to supply
such a colony with suitable stores for
the winter is to give or leave it a
super full of clover honey.
KIPPEN
wanted. --Applications for the position of
Organist and Choir Leader for St. Apdrew'a

Notes.—Mr. Thos. Doig,' of Tuck-
er.'ith, and his sister, Mrs. Cranston,
Ma daughter, of Egmondville, are
spending a month's visit with friends
in iAlgoma District. Their many
friends wish them a pleasant outing.
W. H. Johnston, of the village,
was presiding at Exeter last week,
and Miss Etta Jarrott, of S. S, No.
14. Hay, is presiding at Varna this
week.—The. Sabbath school of the vil-
lage intend holding their union picnic
to Bayfield on- Wednesday, JuIy 7th.
Keep the date in mind.—The annual
congregational picnic of St. Andrew's
church, which was announced for. the
5th_bf July, has been postponed In
defitinely.--Quite a number from this
vicinity attended , service In Carmel
church, Hensall, on Sunday evening to
hear Andrew Boa. Mr. Boa was at
one time a pupil of S. S. No. 2, Tuck-
ersmith, and is well and favorably
known in this section. His many
friends congratulate him on his splen-
did success in his chosen work.—Miss
Eliza Thompson,. who has been at-
tending McDonald College, Guelph,
has returned home.—Miss .Helen Mc-
Gregor, of the Toronto public school
staff, is spending her holidays at the
parental home in the - village.—Mrs.
Jong Patterson, of Toronto, is visit-
ing her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Duncan
McGregor, of the village, andother
relatives and friends.—Mr. Allan
Fisher, who has completed his exam-
inations at Toronto Faculty, is home
for the holidays. — Master Albert
Brownlee of the village, was - rather
unfortunate last week, in breaking an
ankle bone.—Mrs. Landing, of Mar-
lette, Mich., is . visiting with her
mother, Mrs. John Anderson.—Mr.
and Mrs. Isaac Jarrott have been giv-
ing much of their time and attention
in caring for Mr. Jarrott's mother, of
Hills Green, who is quite seriously
sick.—Miss Lousia McLymont of
London, is holidaying at her home
hire. — The friends of Miss Nellie
Caldwell were sorry to hear that dur-
ing the past week she had the, mis-
fortune to break a small bone in her
ankle, which will confine her to her
room for some time.—Mr. Archibald
McGregor met with a nasty mishap
this week which might easily have
proved serious or even fatal. He was
driving south of the village when a
car going at a high rate of speed
collided with his vehicle and threw
Mr. McGregor out on to the hard
road. He was badly bruised and
shaken up but was fortunate in escap-
ing as well as he- did. The buggy
and harness, however, were badly
damaged. As he 'gave plenty of road
way for the car to pass the fault was
not his in any way. Such down right
carelessness on the part of car drivers
should be punished and Mr. McGregor
should receide substantial damages.
VARNA
Garden Party.—The garden party
held last week on behalf of the Varna
Methodist churc owed a grand
success. The evening was fine though
a. little cool and brought out a large
gathering for which Varna is so well
noted. The Hensall band rendered
many varied sellectigns, being also •
very . generous and efficient with their
music. The ladies of the congrega-
tion again proved themselves equal
to the task as the tables were fairly
'groaning under the good things sup-
plied so abundantly. The booth was
kept busy in dealing out the refresh-
ments,'etc., and all pronounced it to
be one of the most successful, garden
parties held here. The proceed s
amounted to $214.
Unveiling, Memorial. The unveiling
of the soldiers' memorial took place
here last Saturday afternoon when a
large -. gathering was present to wit-
ness the ceremony. After Reeve
Elliott called the audience to order
and explained in a few wards the
object of the gathering, he called up-
on Colonel Combes, of Clinton, to per-
form the ceremony. - Col. Combe
gave a short and vivid sketch of some
of the great engagements in which
the Canadians fought and won such
great honor and glory. Canada was
brought to the forefront as a nation
on account of the glorious part she
took in the great world war, and he
very strongly endorsed the' action
taken by the council of the township
of Stanley and congratulated the
Reeve on the magnificent memorial
erected to the memory of the boys
who made the supreme sacrifice. Ile
then called on the Reeve to unveil
the monument upon which were the
names and dates opposite them when
-they gave up their lives for the great
freedom and religious liberty of our
fair Dominion, and that these names
would recall to the generations yet
unborn the everlasting fame which
was so grandly displayed in thier
eat sacrifices.
Rev. Captain McKegney, of Clinton,
w s then called upon to perform the
dedication, 'which was most solemn
and impressive.
In his address he told us of the
many hardships which the boys had
to endure and how possibly for three
or four days at a time they would
have nothing hot for, their meals and
only what they carried with them,
and for sleeping- at night old cellars
possibly. partly filled with water or
mud and very often fighting in the
day and marching during the night
with but little and sometimes no rest
whatever. These were the men who
made Canada famous before the na-
tions of the world and whose honor
we now are paying tribute that they
may be so indelibly written, not only
in the history of the nation but in
the memories of the citizens of this
township. That these names en-
graved upon the monument may be
stamped upon our hearts, that they
-may lead us to a higher life and' to
make greater sacrifices than we have
ever made, if need be, to lift up
humanity.
He very forcibly pictured to us the
hospitals of the wounded, maimed and
blind and of the many widows and
orphans, who :must be taken care of
as a result of this terrible war.. He
imu ted
st la us to a better life,to an
unselfish service, to uplifting uman-
ity, which was so exemplified in the
life of -the lowly
Capt. Turl, of Toronto, who repre-
sented the G. W. V. A., then address-
ed the audience.
He stated he was indeed pleased to
be present on this momentuous oc-
casion and it gave him great pleasure,
though a stranger, to speak on be-
half of the soldiers on this important
occasion. He congratulated the Reeve
on
r
ha township if of the to nship of Stanley
for erecting such a memorial to the
honor of the boys who were now
though dead yet spoke in thundering
tones of the great principles for
which they fought and died.
He particularly described some of
the severest fighting the Canadians
had done and of some of the tactics
they employed to decoy and defeat
the enemy. Especially did he men-
tion, Mons, Ypres, Pashendale, where
the ranks weft mown down by hun-.1
dreds and at Once the gaps were re-
filled. That owing to the great brav-
ery and extreme determination to
Week. the lines of the Germans the
Canadians demonstrated that there
was -no: force could withstand their
. onslaughts . and that General Foch
said if the Canadians can do that we
can break through, the German lines
and eventually `win the war, which
truly resulted in their overthrow. In
conclusion Capt. 'furl congratulated
the Reeve on the tribute paid to the
soldiers, whose names were there en-
graved to perpetuate the memory of
these heroes in long years to come
and that we , may carry out the prin-
ciples for which they gave up their
lives in the name of the lowly Nazar-
ene'.
He finally concluded by quoting
with intense fervor the lines "In
Flander Fields," written by a soldier,
who later laid down his life for his
country,
Mr. Doherty, of Clinton, then sang
a patriotic • solo.
Rev. Mr. McFarlane, of Bayfield,
then addressed the audience, in which
she too expressed himself a; being
highly pleased to be present at such
an important occasion. He commend-
ed highly the tribute to the memory
of our soldier boys, and thought it
proper and right that their memory
'should be perpetuated for generations
to come, and that we should see that
the principles for which they fought
and 'died should be held moat sacred
by everyone and that their sacrifices
should stimulate us to higher motives,
greater zeal and unselfiish service.
Though friends of the departed may
mourn, yet they have great reasons
to rejoice in 'a way to think that their
boys laid down their lives to save
the nation and to bring such honor
upon it that can tnever be forgotten.
He said he : would a thousand times
sooner be one of them who are laid
at 'rest then to be a slacker.
Rev. Dr. Aitken, of Kippen, follow-
ed in which he showed as the soldiers
were one family so ought 'we to be
He pointed out they were as one,
fought /for the same cause side by
side, shared each others joys 'and
sorrows. Why should there be so
many different demonii3ations and so
many preachers within a radius of
some twenty miles of Kippen he re-
marked. Much money might be sav-
ed and given to help the wounded,
widows • or orphans when there was
so much need for it. Christ set the
example and why should we not fol-
low it in endeavoring to relieve suf-
fering, etc., wherever we may find it
and surely there is much in our own
land to say nothing of our brothers
overseas. He, too, congratulated the
Reeve on. the magnificient monument
erected to the memory of the soldiers
who made the supreme sacrifice.
Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Varna, then
spoke to the audience. He said he
had known parts of Stanley for many
years back and also some of the old
stand bys, though many had gone to
their long home. He thought it was
proper and right that some tribute
should be paid to the boys, who so
valiantly stood by our country.. He
spoke particularly of the great Prov-
idential deliverance at- the battle of
Mons, where the angels stayed the
great forces of the Germans, who
were overpowering the British .and
French that God was in the battle and
stay the enemy. He paid tribute to
the great valor of our Canadian sol-
diers and heroes. They were, after
all, the turning point of the war and,
the first ` to break the German lines.
He exhorted us to consecrate our
lives to higher service and to cherish
the principles which cost so many of
our Canadian soldiers lives.
The meeting concluded with the
singing of "God Save the King."
After the ceremony much hand-
shaking and renewal of old acquaint-
ances took place. Some of those
present from outside points were
Major Rance, Capt. McTaggart and
Dr. Shaw, of Clinton, Mr. William
Palmer, of 'Hamilton, Mr. and Mas.
Samuel Rathwell, of Lucknow, and'
Mr. John McNaughton and son, Richie,
from London.

ad Hensall
A Good Act.—The old wooden cul-
vert at McTaggart's Cemetery was
replaced last Monday by a large
galvanized sewer pipe. The councils
of Usborne and Hibbert paid the ex-
pense. The work of placing pipe and
grading the roadway was done by the
nearby men of the boundary. We
cannot express our appreciation for
the kindness of all. Generous dona-
tions have been received. Some came
long distances, accompanied by words
of fond remembrance. Those who
have neglected their donations to the
free-will offering will kindly, do so
at the earliest date. We must aim
to have a balance in the treasury, af-
ter the expense of fence and gates is
deducted. This balance is to be used
by the trustees for keeping grounds
in proper condition. We now remind
all of the meeting this Friday even-
ing at 7 o'clock in Chiselhurst.
Decoration Services. — On Sunday
afternoon last the Oddfellows of
Hensall Lodge No. 223 .met at their
lodgeroom and headed by -the Citizens'
Band, marched through Main Street
as far as the London Road, where
autos were waiting for thele and
motored to the Hensall Union Ceme-
tery accompanied by a large assembly
of the villagers and from the country
for miles around, making a long
procession' of autos. Arriving at the
cemetery the band played a couple of
fine selections prior to the decorating
of the graves of deceased Oddfellows,
Sister Rebekahs and fallen heroes in
the late war, for which purpose they
had met. After the appropriate selec-
tion given by the band, Past Master
W. A. McLaren, acting as Marshall,
called on Past Master G. J. Suther-
land for an opening address, at the
conclusion of which the decorating
of the graves took place, followed by
the same procedure at McTaggart's
Cemetery a few miles northwest, af-
ter which Pastmaster William McKay
closed the ceremony. The large at-
tendance was most gratifying to the
Oddfellows and gave evidence of the
increased intevest that is taken from
year to year in the decorating ser-
vices, while these services also have
a very helpful influence in stimulating
the keeping of the plots and the cem-
etery as a whole in good order.
Hensall Union Cemetery is improving
every year in the way of nice grass
plots and bele of flowers.

We Are Sony
that we have. been unable to give better
service than we have given sinceour sale
commenced.
People from almost every corner of Huron County
have thronged our store, eagerly grabbing the bar-
gains. We have repeatedly been forced to lock our
doors to keep. out the crowds until those already
inside had been served. As long as our stock lasts
we will do our utmost to serve you promptly and
everyday new bargains will be offered. Each day
we are taking from our shelves and putting on the
display racks new bargains, which, for lack of
space, we have been unable to show before.
Again we ask you to shop during the week
when possible and thus .avoid the inconvenience of
the Saturday crowd.
