I wonder what he would think of a country of over 7,000,000 souls who have, or at least make no practice y,rhatever, of singing any national tong? Our children, instead of be- ing taught first of all, the geography and history of Canadth, their OWS2 country, aro immersed in stories of Europe's past and present, neither of them very- wholesome, to say the least. Long before they know or are taught to appreciate the heroism of their immediate forefathers, •their 1 courage and perseverance in the face of apparently insurmountable ob- stacles, they are 'hearing of the 'glories of Napoleon, of the different ,victori- ous kings and queens of England. Why not teach them to honor and admire the struggles of men like Champlain and Cartier, the bravery of Dollard, the faith and devotedness of women like Margaret Bourgeois and her companions, the courage of the wives of the first settlers, all stories of clean, 'upright manhood and womanhood? • No need to go to another country to find interesting history; it is true, thank God, our *past has ,been free from the intrigue, murder and profligacy,, such as has made France and England) notorious. If our children are taught to be, first of all, Canadians, united: in a common bond, that of love and re- spect and ambition for the good of our common country, what matter the race; the language or the creed, when all as one salute Canada's flag, sing Canada's national anthem and) work for Canada's progress, all are Can- adians—and Canada will be a better place to live. Until there is -this unity there will be neither strength, happi- ness nor prosperity: 1MEIGHEN IS NEW PREMIER. The Governor-Geueral on Wednes- day issued a statement announcing the resignation of Sir Robert Borden on Saturday next, and the calling of Hon. Arthur Meighen to form a new Cab- inet. The statement reads: "The f7al resignation of Sir Robert Bor en will be tendered to his Excellency the Governor-General on Saturday next, the 10th inst., and will be accepted by his Excellency with great regret. His Excellency has en- trusted to Hon. Arthur Meighen, Min- ister of the Interior, the formation of .a new Administration, and Mr. Meig- hen has undertaken that duty." Hon. Arthur Meighen, Prime Min- ister -designate' of Canada, is a native of Perth County. Born at Anderson, Blanchard township, en June 16th, 1874, he is in his forty-seventh year. He was educated at St. Mary's Col- legiate Institute and Toronto Univer- sity. As a young man he went west and practised law at Portage la Prairie, which constituency he now 'represents in the House of Commons. In- 1908 he was -first elected to Par- liament, and in 1910 moved a resolu- tion to remove the duty on agricul- tural implements. He was returned at the general elections of 1911 and 1917; was appointed Solicitor -General on June 26th, 1913; Secretary of State and Minister of Mines, August 28th. 1917; , Minister of the Interior and Superintendent -General of Indian af- fairs, October 2nd, 1917. In religion he is a Presbyterian. ' Mr. Meighen is a keen debater and skilled in destructive analysis. A UNITED CANADA AND PATRIOTIC CANADIANS Verily, the souls of Canadians are dead—sleeping it least,—and have been so for a long time. It has never, in my experience, been particularly noticeable that their "hearts within them burn" when they speak of this country, be it theirs by nativity or by adoption. There is, to be sure; a contentment or peace of mind to be found only at "home," but that sense of security or whatever it may be 'called, is caused more by our intimacy with some spot, the proximity of friends, the centre of our interests, rather than the fact that this home is in Canada. These sentiments can scarcely be labelled, Patriotism. It would seem to most people rather mean-spirited to belong to a club or society because we had been let in free—voluntary subscriptions, let us say—taking all we could get out of it and giving nothing, taking no interest in its welfare. It seems to me that if we see sorne cherished organization slipping down hill we -do our best, make some effort to assist it to its feet, The Dominion of Canada is in. such a position to -day. Iustead of one and all being united in a common effort to make our country of the best, we as a people are divided, torn by petty • troubles, each man must fight to keep his , own. Everything is rotten— 'government, politics, schools. Look which 'way you will, the prospects are anything but bright. Men who are supposed to be the representatives of the people, who should, as a basic' principle, have the welfare of the country at heart, are willing to barter the country itself to anyone at any time, if it will further their own interests. The world at large is in crying need of food, clothing; everything in fact—within an area of 3,729,665 square miles, an unlimited: store of minerals (iron, copper, coal, silver, geld, nickel), extensive forests, fish- ing grounds that are the envy of other nations, besides being the great- est agricultural and dairying country in the world. Canada has immense resources, yet these remain unculti- vated. If the money, time and energy that is to -day being spent in the keeping in office of a lot of lazy parasites and satellites, who would be better, both for their own and their country's good, hoeing potatoes or digging ditches—if this output was spent, nay, rather invested, in the development of these dormant enter- prises, there would be no talk of a probable bankruptcy. Canadian money would not be depreciating at the rate of twelve or fifteen per cent. This is a lamentable state of af- fairs, caused simply and wholly by a lack of patriotism. Have we any confidence in our Government? We know o-ue representatives too well for any such indescretion. • If we want the Canada of 1950 to be any better than the Canada of 1920 has proved, we must begin to- day, not with ourselves, but with the children in our schools, the future rulers and citizens of to -morrow. Step to the other side of the divid- ing line between Canada and the United States, ask any urchin on the street where, in his opinion, is the ideal place to live. There'll be no hesitation in his reply: the Ti. S. A. is his homehe is proud to claim it, proud to acknowledge it, and wilt fight to support his _opinion. Why the difference? This love of country in an American child is inculcated in the home, confirmed. in the school -room —it grows with his growth, is strengthened with his strength. He will never be the one to go back on his ceuntry whatever be the provoca- tion or inducement. A well known writer has said that if he could write the, songs for a na- • DASHWOOD Notes.—An unfortunate accident be- fell Mr. Fred Preetch, who, in some way, fell from the overlays in his barn to the floor beneath, causing serious injuries,.

CHISELHURST • Notes.—A concert and box, social was held in the No. 10 school, Tuck- ersmith, on Friday evening last. There was a good attendance including many old pupils and young people from, the surrounding country, and although early in the evening .a storm threaten- ed it turned out an ideal night. The first part of the evening was given over to the programme, Mr. W. Pybus acting as chairman. The pupils car- ried out their parts in a very credit- able manner, and some praise is due Miss McCipy and those assisting in the efficient way it was put on. Mr. Charles Robinson auctioneed: off the boxes and in is jovial and persuasive manner managed to draw some good prices, which totalled nearly fifty dollars, which will be used in the purchase of books for a school library. —1Iaying is now general in these parts. Whilst the crop is not more than an average one here and there are some excellent fields of timothy and clover.—Harry Jacobi had a gang of men engaged last week erecting a cement bridge across the creek to the back of his farm. WINGHAM Much Sickness.—A sickness which has not yet been definitely diagnosed has been troubling quite a number of both adults and childeen in town dur- ing the past week or two. The out- standing symptoms- of the complaint have been sickness of the stomach and diarrhoea. It was at first thought that the trouble was caused by milk from cows which had eaten some noxious weed while ,pasturing, but a test of the milk failed to show any reason for the sickness, and as some of the patients were found to be non - milk users this theory had to be abandoned. The local doctors are of the opinion that the sickness is a form of influenza which has attacked the stomach. Another feature of the dis- ease has been an exezissive running from the eyes and nose, and in some cases it ie said even to affect the ears. The' sickness is said to develop very quickly generally, beginning with chills. No deaths have been reported, and those patients first attacked are reported well on the road to recovery.

We are looking forward' to the time when Jean and Jimmie, for whom you are planning to give all the advantages of education, will gather laurels and we can say "They lived in Staffa when they were children." We all like to feel that those who leave US will advance and • do honor to them- selves and also to the place of their birth. We, therefore, ask You, Mr. Hamilton, to accept this watch, and you, Mrs. Hamilton this, casserole, as slight tokens of our esteem and hope that you will often think of your friends in the township of Hibbert, and look back with pleasure that your home had been in the banner County of Ontario.

The Late Hugh Norris.—Last week we rnentionfd briefly the death of Mr. Hugh Norris, and the following addi- tional particulars will be of interest to his many old friends in the district where he was so Well and favorably known: The late Mr. Norris, who passed away on Saturday, June 26th, was born in Tyrone, Ireland, in 1841. He came to this country with his parents in 1850, settling in Markham township, York County. Two years later the family moved to lot 12, con- cession 9, Hibbert. In 1866 he mar- ried Mary Horton, who still survives him. Mr; Norris started for himself then in Usbrone township, where he lived till 1872, moving back to the 10th concession of Hibbert where he continued to live till about ten years ago. He saw all the hardships of pioneer life. Mr. Norris was a man of sterling claeracter, who did his own thinking. He was councillor of the township for a number of years and ,always took a keen interest in public affairs. In religion he was a Presbyterian and in politics a Con- servative. He leaves to mourn his loss_ besides his wife, twelve children, and about thirty-five grandchildren. The children are Mrs. T. Butson, Mun- roe; Mrs. R. Sellery, Exeter; James, Munroe; John, _ Cromarty; Hugh, Staffa; Mrs. Piper, California; Mrs. John Drake, Staffa; Mrs. Keil, Robt. and William, Saskatchewan; Harry, Cromarty, arid Miss Eliza, at home, who were all present at the funeral.

The crowd filled the church and the porch and the improvided stands that ther put at the windows on the outside then many sat on the fence. Ju by the excellent order maintaine by the applause, the audience enjoyed every bit of the programme in spite of their crowded condition and the ,intense heat. The young people with- out exception took their parts exceed- ingly well. The scene was placed in days long gone by, and the old-time furniture and costumes of ancient days were quite effective. The wed'cling dresses of two generations ago once more did service, as well as many other fine garments of the days of your .grandmothers. The young peo- • ple and the audience were both alike favored by the presence and assistance of Mr. Robert Hannah, B.A., and Mr. Cliffordi Martin, M.A., of Lonthen. Mr. Hannah assisted greatly during the rehearsals and also kindly contributed two splendid numbers to the pro- gramme. Mr. Martin was responsible for much of -the get-up of the caste, which was unusually good, and as well sang very sweetly on two oc- casions during the evening. The pro- ceeds, amounting to about $125, are for the purchase of a- piano. •Notes.--eDr. and Mrs. Aitken are on their elolidays at Bayfileld. All wish thee% a pleasant time.—Mr. A. T.
