BERING ONTARIO.
(By a Visitor.)
This is a big subject and one that
cannot be dealt with adequately in a
brief sketch. Myobject in writin
these lines is to draw attention to a
few points about the Province that
generally escape the notice of those
who live here from year to year.
Rural Ontario.
I- doubt whether the Ontario inhabi-
tant, who does not travel much, real-
laes to the full extent the beauty of
this Province which is almost disturb-
ing in its effect on anyone who has
dwelt long on the prairies. The spelt
of the trees is over all, lining the
roadways and raising themselves like
green canopies over the fields and a-
long the streams and rivers. There
is a variety and sweep to the trees
not found in any other province of
the Dominion. Even the lowly thorn
tree is symmetrical right from its
base and is just the place for the boys
to find the birds' nests in the spring
of the year. Rural Ontario is better
cultivated and , more scientifically
farmed than farther west, and the
summer fallow is an art in itself,
chiefly; I would judge, because the
fields are smaller. The snake fence
is still common in many parts of the
Province and adds a picturesqueness
to the landscape, but I wonder why
more of the barns are not painted.
Most of these havd splendid concrete
basements, but the unpainted build-
ings are the only wrong note on the
rural landscape, favored as it is by
natural advantages over most parts
of Canada. How much better would
a painted barn look half hidden be-
hind the screen of trees that grow
everywhere. The orchards, like the
snake fences, are more picturesque
than productive of results, but I have
seen many where the land has been
followed and kept free of weeds, giv-
ing the trees every chance to produce
heavy crops. The road question,
judging from results, has been solved
in rural Ontario by the use of gravel.
This question will not be solved in
the western provinces for a long
time, chiefly owing to the lack of
gravel or the long haul when it can
be obtained. Even the sideroads of
Huron are good in wet weather, while
the main highways of the west are
bad when it rains. In reference to
gardens, Ontario has other provinces
beaten in the variety of vegetation
and the horticultural possibilities but
it is not in the same class as Alberta
in regard to potatoes which grow
luxuriantly on virgin soil.
Civilized Ontario.
Ontario seems to have all the ma-
chinery necessary for a highly civiliz-
ed and comfortable scheme of living,
Perhaps there is too much machinery.
There is the last word in transpor-
tation, and the last word in electric
power, and the last word in education-
al facilities. I am not objecting to
machinery as such, but I fancy that
the pioneers were just as good men
sod as good neighbors without it.
Some of the vital things don't need
machinery. Love making in the old
days woo more efficiently conducted
by means of the old horse and buggy
than it is to -clay in a six cylinder
motor car. Riding on the• sulky and
living on dessicated breakfast foods
is not a real substitute for the old
hand plow and old time oatmeal. A
man to -day has the privilege of be-
ing carried to the cemetery in a mo-
tor hearse, but I doubt whether he
sleeps any sounder or more secure.
Transportation machinery is good,
but it won't make the population any
more content unless it shows them
more of- the rural parts of their own
beautiful province instead, of whiz-
zing them through the country at
thirty miles per hour from town to
town. And educational machinery,
however, efficient, is a waste of time
and a weariness to .the spirit if it
takes the farm boy away from the
farm.
Young Ontario.
I yield to none in my admiration
of the beauty of the Ontario girl.
The balmy and humid atmosphere
seems to develop just the right kind
of cnmplexion,,and attempts are con-
stantly made to induce them to -emi-
grate to other parts of Canada. But
I feel bound • to say that the chief
characteristic that one notes in travel-
ling from place to place is not looks
but legs. Possibly I shall be misun-
derstood and critics may ask, what
about the complexion spoken of a-
bove. The creamy enntplexions are
numerous enough when not covered
with toilet powder, but the one thing
not covered is legs --]cgs of all kinds
and shapes, spindle legs, well-turned
legs and ill -turned legs, and to give
credit where it is due, most of them
presentable legs. The traveller can't
quite escape from thorn as they are
everywhere. (Note.—This paragraph
should come under the heading of
Seeing Young Ontario instead of
Seeing Ontario). I remember once
hearing of an old cab driver who car-
ried many ladies as fares, and one
day he had an exceptional passenger
who was unusually careful to wind
her skirts around her when descend-
ing from the top of the bus. In fact
she wasted so much
time (she was
that he looked upat her and
old)
and said in ab ored voice: "Come on
down, lady, conte on down. Legs
ain't no treat to Me." This remark
represents the mind of most men on
the subject of legs. The veil of
mystery has been torn away.
Political Ontario.
Similarly with other provinces, On-
tario is having its era of government
by the farmer. I believe that this
will prove to be a good thing in the
long run, not only in the administra-
tion itself bat di>r'- a opportunity •it
gives in bringing 'le rural •]carts of
the province into user touch with; the

of ideas as to hoW-the country should
be governed. I ligv'e always felt that
the farm party_ but a section of
the Liberal party, ldelining a Liberal
as a man with.Ilberel and progres-
sive ideas. Libeyaiism is the party
against predominate interests, it is
the gathering,together .,f the smaller
individual interests a„ainst the big
interests, it is the part of many men
against the fewer prevailing men,
and it organizes' only because organ-
ization is forced upon it by its_ ad-
versaries. Liberal ideas go on and
on, and are the monoiuly of no par-
ticular section of the party, but if
one section, like the farmers, wish to
put their ideas into practice and have
the opportunity -to de so, the other
Liberal sections shout I eo-operate, if
they agree with the alleles advocat-
ed. This is my idea ,if seeing On-
tario politically..
Social Ontario,
Viewing Ontario from the social
standpoint, one point c,f interest is the
total eclipse of the tooth pick. This
is the more surprising when it is re-
membered that in Saskatchewan and
Alberta this weapon is still in the
first flush of youth. 'Tooth pick ven-
dors have a brisk trade from Van-
couver to Winnipeg and it is only
when one gets on a C. P. R. diner
that one notices for the first time
that it has disappeared. As the C.
P. R. is noted for serving a two
dollar meal from' ingredients costing
a quarter of a dollar, this eclipse is
generally put d0'em to motives of
economy, but in Ontario one cornea
to the conclusion that it is not a
matter of economics but of social
standing. I was ta,kinz dinner with
a U.F.O. member of p,irliament re-
cently and at its elm.' I gently inti-
mated to him. to 'pass the toothpicks.
He stared at me as th emit I had ask-
ed him to pans some prehistoric ani-
mal. "What's that?" !-e managed to
exclaim. I said, "To picks." "We
don't use them," he replied, "and
haven't for years. "Tete I',F.O. :put
a ban on teeth picks .+Mie time ago,
in fact, as soon as Drury became
Premier. We found that our wives
couldn't compete in a s.,cial way with
other sets in Toronto unless the tooth
pick was banished. 1 know it is a
handy thing to ha'•: around when
hon have company, but .polities is a
matter of compromise anyway, and I
would lose calsis c' inpletely if I car-
ried them ar-,end,"

Ontario with its f;-hions of a bygone
age. One is Ie. complement of

EDIBLE AND POISONOUS
MUSHROOMS
There is a w:les,pread lack of
knowledge einem'. the general public
concerning the lility of so many
of the common ,:t ,shroonts growing,
except in the v r: dry weather, in
the fields, weed 'r in our gardens
and lawns.
The common :•: t of fungi is that
the one .grown ,mmercially, and
which is also f cid in fields and
pastures, is n : tshroem, and all
others are teasel Is" and therefore
poisonous. '1'h'• erms "toadstool"
and "nlushrn vi are synonymous,
and mushroom- .:.e classified either
as "edible" or .. "poisonous." For-
tunately ammo,: • hundreds of var-
ieties of mus!n arts there are not
more than four r five poisonous
varieties, hut as nme of the latter
resemble soniecv'c , an edible variety,
there is danger i'. mistaking one for
the other. All e so-called "tests"
whereby one nice ascertain whether
a mushroom is e.i.ble or not:, are ab-
solutely worthless. and may be class-
ed as old wives• fables. The only
way to know the properties of fungi
is by asking sante ane who is familiar
with them, or by studying them one
"-
1
byone as one would take upthe
itinstance. study of 'birds fur i s ce Unfor-
tunately, popular works on fungi are
not common, .hut several reliable
works are available to the strident
who wishes to acquaint himself with
the. subject, as for instance:
"One Thousand American Fungi,"
Mcnvaine, Babb, Merrill Co.; "Mush-
rooms, Edible and Otherwise," Hard,
Ohio Library Co.; "The Agaricaceae
of Michigan," C. It. Kaufmann, Wyn-
koop, Hallenbeck, Crawford, Co.
Practically no mushrooms are to
be found, during very dry weather,
but two of the deadly varieties are
litkel met with after r '
y �rains—
the Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria)
'and the Death Cup (Amanita -pb'sl-
loid,es), The first of these is a very
conspicuous mushroom, not resembl-
ingother any varietyIn the whole
range of mushrooms- The cap is
large, from four to six inches, ratted -
ed at first, then nearly plane surface
when fresh, slightly viscid. ifs color
is subject to great variations, rang-
ing from orange -red to yellow or al-
most white, the yellow color being
more common. The margin of cap
in mature plants is marked with radi-
ating lines or markings. The surface
is covered with thick, angular persist-
ent scales, usually 'white. These
scales are often yellowish and easily
removed; flesh white. The gills are
free, 'but reaching the stem. Color
white, rarely becoming yellow. Stem
four to eight inches long, shining
white or pale yellowish, becoming hol-
low, enlarged at the base into a con-
spicuous bulb, marked by prominent,
concentric, irregular rings. There is
a ring or collar on the stem, very
soft, large, white. The Fly Amanita
is easily indentified on account of its
scaly cap, brilliantly colored; large
ring, and bulbous, ringed base. It
occurs along roadsides, wood mar-
gins and open woods, genenrally from
June till frost.
The other deadly plant, Amanita
phalloides or Death Cup, is 3-4
inches broad, commonly shining white
or yellowish, but may be grey or
brown, olive to amber. It is viscid
when moist, smooth, oval, and finally
extended; the margin is even, not
marked, flesh white, not objection-
able to taste, gills free from the stem,
largest at the middle, white. The
stem is 3-5 inches long, generally
hollow, white. The base of the stein
is inserted in a semi -free, white, cup -
shaped covering called a volva, It
is of common occurrence from July
to October in 'woods, groves and
along borders of woods. It resembles
somewhat the demmon field mush-
room, but a slight examinatien will
disclose in the field mushroom the
dark colored gills and the absence of
the cup at the base of the stem. A.
phalleides is the most dangerous of
all fungi, and is responsible for most
of the deaths resulting from eating
- Tenfifteen to fif een hours
may elapse before symptoms of (pois-
oning may appear. No antidote has
been found by which the effects of
the poison may be counteracted. A.
safe rule is to avoid eating all mush-
rooms having white gills, a ring on
the stets and a volva at the base of
stem, combined in the same plant.

'T e
i
reason vo '
splain. Every'
ince of the Dominion has had its el-
ection, and in every instance where a
Conservative party has beed"in power
it has been decisively thrown out and
a democratic House replaced, Ottawa
knows full well that it does not re-
present the will of its -electors, and if
an appeal was made no* it would
find itself out, in the cold. There-
fore, it hangs desperately on.
"Now is the time to regard all po-
litical questions from the viewpoint
of tine' -home. From now on that is
the one manner in which the Liberal
party will consider the big issues of
the nation. The home is the centre
of the country. If the families are
happy and prosperous—so the nation.
Hereafter we propose to study the
issues to the last analysis as to how
they affect the homes."
Taking up the important question
of the national debt, the speaker
termed it "appalling,” and asserted
that even should it be correct that
the war was responsible for a big out-
lay there was no excuse for the many
millions that had been, as he said,
squandered since.
He pointed out that in 1911 when
the Laurier Administration went out
of power the public debt was 'but 335
millions as against snore than two
billions to -day. Before the Govern -
anent can commence to carry on its
own business at this moment it is
confronted by the startling figure of
140 millions as indrest alone on the
national debt. "This sum itself," he
said, "is more that it cost to operate
the Laurier Government at any time."
"There is one obligation," he said,
"that we must be prepared to meet
in a worthy 'sassier, and that is to
our returned soldiers and the de-
pendents of those who crossed the
seas and failed to return. For pen-
sions and suleliers' civil re-establish-
ment we moat vt,te 135 millions this
year alone,"
Dwelling upon another source of
c'.-:ntinual and exorbitant expendi-
ture the Liberal leader bitterly at- ]
'
tacked the action of the present house
for
taking , over•
the railroads willtnut
even asking the opinion of the peo-
ple on the matter. The deficit this
year, he pointed out, was some 70
millions with 50 millions last year,'
oral likely 100 millions during the next
year. All these different expendi-
tures mean, he explained, that Canada
this year mist find a sum equal- to
$54 for every man, woman and child
ie the entire country. "There's your
federal burden alone," ho stated sig-
iticantly, "and w'tat we say is this,
t'ott we sh„old have in newer a gov-
:onieent that veil] practice economy

Discussing the platforms of the re- ;
turned soldiers' women's,nd Labor a
Conservative parties, the leader..4is.="
plained that all these, except thet
latter contained much in common withe.with
Liberalism, and had been outlined in
open convention.
"Who drew up the National -Liber.
al -Conservative -Tory platform, bo
ever?" he asked. "Was it twy con-
vention? Were the people consult.
ed ? No. None were asked an opin-
ion. It was behind closed doors.
Their leader, even the Right Hon.
Arthur Meighen, was never chosen
by the people, and was only the sec-
ond choice of the members. In his
platform as against a democratic one
you have the symbol of autocratic '
government by the few against , the
well being of the many. Men who
drew up the Conservative platform
control the Government to -day; cone
trol the naval services, the rails, the
postofice, and have their wealthy'
friends among the bankers and a few
id the manufacturing interests."
In conclusion the Liberal leader
made a fervent appeal to the Progres-
sives of Canada to get behind the
principles of hie party and by unity
defeat the common enemy.
Lliet ins tell he " you declared decla ed cin-
phatically, "when the people of Can-
ada are going to divide into groups

win. From every platform I have
made the appeal to the democratic '
iforces not to divide but to stand to.

BERING ONTARIO.
(By a Visitor.)
This is a big subject and one that
cannot be dealt with adequately in a
brief sketch. Myobject in writin
these lines is to draw attention to a
few points about the Province that
generally escape the notice of those
who live here from year to year.
Rural Ontario.
I- doubt whether the Ontario inhabi-
tant, who does not travel much, real-
laes to the full extent the beauty of
this Province which is almost disturb-
ing in its effect on anyone who has
dwelt long on the prairies. The spelt
of the trees is over all, lining the
roadways and raising themselves like
green canopies over the fields and a-
long the streams and rivers. There
is a variety and sweep to the trees
not found in any other province of
the Dominion. Even the lowly thorn
tree is symmetrical right from its
base and is just the place for the boys
to find the birds' nests in the spring
of the year. Rural Ontario is better
cultivated and , more scientifically
farmed than farther west, and the
summer fallow is an art in itself,
chiefly; I would judge, because the
fields are smaller. The snake fence
is still common in many parts of the
Province and adds a picturesqueness
to the landscape, but I wonder why
more of the barns are not painted.
Most of these havd splendid concrete
basements, but the unpainted build-
ings are the only wrong note on the
rural landscape, favored as it is by
natural advantages over most parts
of Canada. How much better would
a painted barn look half hidden be-
hind the screen of trees that grow
everywhere. The orchards, like the
snake fences, are more picturesque
than productive of results, but I have
seen many where the land has been
followed and kept free of weeds, giv-
ing the trees every chance to produce
heavy crops. The road question,
judging from results, has been solved
in rural Ontario by the use of gravel.
This question will not be solved in
the western provinces for a long
time, chiefly owing to the lack of
gravel or the long haul when it can
be obtained. Even the sideroads of
Huron are good in wet weather, while
the main highways of the west are
bad when it rains. In reference to
gardens, Ontario has other provinces
beaten in the variety of vegetation
and the horticultural possibilities but
it is not in the same class as Alberta
in regard to potatoes which grow
luxuriantly on virgin soil.
Civilized Ontario.
Ontario seems to have all the ma-
chinery necessary for a highly civiliz-
ed and comfortable scheme of living,
Perhaps there is too much machinery.
There is the last word in transpor-
tation, and the last word in electric
power, and the last word in education-
al facilities. I am not objecting to
machinery as such, but I fancy that
the pioneers were just as good men
sod as good neighbors without it.
Some of the vital things don't need
machinery. Love making in the old
days woo more efficiently conducted
by means of the old horse and buggy
than it is to -clay in a six cylinder
motor car. Riding on the• sulky and
living on dessicated breakfast foods
is not a real substitute for the old
hand plow and old time oatmeal. A
man to -day has the privilege of be-
ing carried to the cemetery in a mo-
tor hearse, but I doubt whether he
sleeps any sounder or more secure.
Transportation machinery is good,
but it won't make the population any
more content unless it shows them
more of- the rural parts of their own
beautiful province instead, of whiz-
zing them through the country at
thirty miles per hour from town to
town. And educational machinery,
however, efficient, is a waste of time
and a weariness to .the spirit if it
takes the farm boy away from the
farm.
Young Ontario.
I yield to none in my admiration
of the beauty of the Ontario girl.
The balmy and humid atmosphere
seems to develop just the right kind
of cnmplexion,,and attempts are con-
stantly made to induce them to -emi-
grate to other parts of Canada. But
I feel bound • to say that the chief
characteristic that one notes in travel-
ling from place to place is not looks
but legs. Possibly I shall be misun-
derstood and critics may ask, what
about the complexion spoken of a-
bove. The creamy enntplexions are
numerous enough when not covered
with toilet powder, but the one thing
not covered is legs --]cgs of all kinds
and shapes, spindle legs, well-turned
legs and ill -turned legs, and to give
credit where it is due, most of them
presentable legs. The traveller can't
quite escape from thorn as they are
everywhere. (Note.—This paragraph
should come under the heading of
Seeing Young Ontario instead of
Seeing Ontario). I remember once
hearing of an old cab driver who car-
ried many ladies as fares, and one
day he had an exceptional passenger
who was unusually careful to wind
her skirts around her when descend-
ing from the top of the bus. In fact
she wasted so much
time (she was
that he looked upat her and
old)
and said in ab ored voice: "Come on
down, lady, conte on down. Legs
ain't no treat to Me." This remark
represents the mind of most men on
the subject of legs. The veil of
mystery has been torn away.
Political Ontario.
Similarly with other provinces, On-
tario is having its era of government
by the farmer. I believe that this
will prove to be a good thing in the
long run, not only in the administra-
tion itself bat di>r'- a opportunity •it
gives in bringing 'le rural •]carts of
the province into user touch with; the

of ideas as to hoW-the country should
be governed. I ligv'e always felt that
the farm party_ but a section of
the Liberal party, ldelining a Liberal
as a man with.Ilberel and progres-
sive ideas. Libeyaiism is the party
against predominate interests, it is
the gathering,together .,f the smaller
individual interests a„ainst the big
interests, it is the part of many men
against the fewer prevailing men,
and it organizes' only because organ-
ization is forced upon it by its_ ad-
versaries. Liberal ideas go on and
on, and are the monoiuly of no par-
ticular section of the party, but if
one section, like the farmers, wish to
put their ideas into practice and have
the opportunity -to de so, the other
Liberal sections shout I eo-operate, if
they agree with the alleles advocat-
ed. This is my idea ,if seeing On-
tario politically..
Social Ontario,
Viewing Ontario from the social
standpoint, one point c,f interest is the
total eclipse of the tooth pick. This
is the more surprising when it is re-
membered that in Saskatchewan and
Alberta this weapon is still in the
first flush of youth. 'Tooth pick ven-
dors have a brisk trade from Van-
couver to Winnipeg and it is only
when one gets on a C. P. R. diner
that one notices for the first time
that it has disappeared. As the C.
P. R. is noted for serving a two
dollar meal from' ingredients costing
a quarter of a dollar, this eclipse is
generally put d0'em to motives of
economy, but in Ontario one cornea
to the conclusion that it is not a
matter of economics but of social
standing. I was ta,kinz dinner with
a U.F.O. member of p,irliament re-
cently and at its elm.' I gently inti-
mated to him. to 'pass the toothpicks.
He stared at me as th emit I had ask-
ed him to pans some prehistoric ani-
mal. "What's that?" !-e managed to
exclaim. I said, "To picks." "We
don't use them," he replied, "and
haven't for years. "Tete I',F.O. :put
a ban on teeth picks .+Mie time ago,
in fact, as soon as Drury became
Premier. We found that our wives
couldn't compete in a s.,cial way with
other sets in Toronto unless the tooth
pick was banished. 1 know it is a
handy thing to ha'•: around when
hon have company, but .polities is a
matter of compromise anyway, and I
would lose calsis c' inpletely if I car-
ried them ar-,end,"

Will not get m" •-f touch with old
Ontario with its f;-hions of a bygone
age. One is Ie. complement of

that the pietism- and comforts or

EDIBLE AND POISONOUS
MUSHROOMS
There is a w:les,pread lack of
knowledge einem'. the general public
concerning the lility of so many
of the common ,:t ,shroonts growing,
except in the v r: dry weather, in
the fields, weed 'r in our gardens
and lawns.
The common :•: t of fungi is that
the one .grown ,mmercially, and
which is also f cid in fields and
pastures, is n : tshroem, and all
others are teasel Is" and therefore
poisonous. '1'h'• erms "toadstool"
and "nlushrn vi are synonymous,
and mushroom- .:.e classified either
as "edible" or .. "poisonous." For-
tunately ammo,: • hundreds of var-
ieties of mus!n arts there are not
more than four r five poisonous
varieties, hut as nme of the latter
resemble soniecv'c , an edible variety,
there is danger i'. mistaking one for
the other. All e so-called "tests"
whereby one nice ascertain whether
a mushroom is e.i.ble or not:, are ab-
solutely worthless. and may be class-
ed as old wives• fables. The only
way to know the properties of fungi
is by asking sante ane who is familiar
with them, or by studying them one
"-
1
byone as one would take upthe
itinstance. study of 'birds fur i s ce Unfor-
tunately, popular works on fungi are
not common, .hut several reliable
works are available to the strident
who wishes to acquaint himself with
the. subject, as for instance:
"One Thousand American Fungi,"
Mcnvaine, Babb, Merrill Co.; "Mush-
rooms, Edible and Otherwise," Hard,
Ohio Library Co.; "The Agaricaceae
of Michigan," C. It. Kaufmann, Wyn-
koop, Hallenbeck, Crawford, Co.
Practically no mushrooms are to
be found, during very dry weather,
but two of the deadly varieties are
litkel met with after r '
y �rains—
the Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria)
'and the Death Cup (Amanita -pb'sl-
loid,es), The first of these is a very
conspicuous mushroom, not resembl-
ingother any varietyIn the whole
range of mushrooms- The cap is
large, from four to six inches, ratted -
ed at first, then nearly plane surface
when fresh, slightly viscid. ifs color
is subject to great variations, rang-
ing from orange -red to yellow or al-
most white, the yellow color being
more common. The margin of cap
in mature plants is marked with radi-
ating lines or markings. The surface
is covered with thick, angular persist-
ent scales, usually 'white. These
scales are often yellowish and easily
removed; flesh white. The gills are
free, 'but reaching the stem. Color
white, rarely becoming yellow. Stem
four to eight inches long, shining
white or pale yellowish, becoming hol-
low, enlarged at the base into a con-
spicuous bulb, marked by prominent,
concentric, irregular rings. There is
a ring or collar on the stem, very
soft, large, white. The Fly Amanita
is easily indentified on account of its
scaly cap, brilliantly colored; large
ring, and bulbous, ringed base. It
occurs along roadsides, wood mar-
gins and open woods, genenrally from
June till frost.
The other deadly plant, Amanita
phalloides or Death Cup, is 3-4
inches broad, commonly shining white
or yellowish, but may be grey or
brown, olive to amber. It is viscid
when moist, smooth, oval, and finally
extended; the margin is even, not
marked, flesh white, not objection-
able to taste, gills free from the stem,
largest at the middle, white. The
stem is 3-5 inches long, generally
hollow, white. The base of the stein
is inserted in a semi -free, white, cup -
shaped covering called a volva, It
is of common occurrence from July
to October in 'woods, groves and
along borders of woods. It resembles
somewhat the demmon field mush-
room, but a slight examinatien will
disclose in the field mushroom the
dark colored gills and the absence of
the cup at the base of the stem. A.
phalleides is the most dangerous of
all fungi, and is responsible for most
of the deaths resulting from eating
- Tenfifteen to fif een hours
may elapse before symptoms of (pois-
oning may appear. No antidote has
been found by which the effects of
the poison may be counteracted. A.
safe rule is to avoid eating all mush-
rooms having white gills, a ring on
the stets and a volva at the base of
stem, combined in the same plant.

'h
'T e
i
reason vo '
splain. Every'
ince of the Dominion has had its el-
ection, and in every instance where a
Conservative party has beed"in power
it has been decisively thrown out and
a democratic House replaced, Ottawa
knows full well that it does not re-
present the will of its -electors, and if
an appeal was made no* it would
find itself out, in the cold. There-
fore, it hangs desperately on.
"Now is the time to regard all po-
litical questions from the viewpoint
of tine' -home. From now on that is
the one manner in which the Liberal
party will consider the big issues of
the nation. The home is the centre
of the country. If the families are
happy and prosperous—so the nation.
Hereafter we propose to study the
issues to the last analysis as to how
they affect the homes."
Taking up the important question
of the national debt, the speaker
termed it "appalling,” and asserted
that even should it be correct that
the war was responsible for a big out-
lay there was no excuse for the many
millions that had been, as he said,
squandered since.
He pointed out that in 1911 when
the Laurier Administration went out
of power the public debt was 'but 335
millions as against snore than two
billions to -day. Before the Govern -
anent can commence to carry on its
own business at this moment it is
confronted by the startling figure of
140 millions as indrest alone on the
national debt. "This sum itself," he
said, "is more that it cost to operate
the Laurier Government at any time."
"There is one obligation," he said,
"that we must be prepared to meet
in a worthy 'sassier, and that is to
our returned soldiers and the de-
pendents of those who crossed the
seas and failed to return. For pen-
sions and suleliers' civil re-establish-
ment we moat vt,te 135 millions this
year alone,"
Dwelling upon another source of
c'.-:ntinual and exorbitant expendi-
ture the Liberal leader bitterly at- ]
'
tacked the action of the present house
for
taking , over•
the railroads willtnut
even asking the opinion of the peo-
ple on the matter. The deficit this
year, he pointed out, was some 70
millions with 50 millions last year,'
oral likely 100 millions during the next
year. All these different expendi-
tures mean, he explained, that Canada
this year mist find a sum equal- to
$54 for every man, woman and child
ie the entire country. "There's your
federal burden alone," ho stated sig-
iticantly, "and w'tat we say is this,
t'ott we sh„old have in newer a gov-
:onieent that veil] practice economy

Discussing the platforms of the re- ;
turned soldiers' women's,nd Labor a
Conservative parties, the leader..4is.="
plained that all these, except thet
latter contained much in common withe.with
Liberalism, and had been outlined in
open convention.
"Who drew up the National -Liber.
al -Conservative -Tory platform, bo
ever?" he asked. "Was it twy con-
vention? Were the people consult.
ed ? No. None were asked an opin-
ion. It was behind closed doors.
Their leader, even the Right Hon.
Arthur Meighen, was never chosen
by the people, and was only the sec-
ond choice of the members. In his
platform as against a democratic one
you have the symbol of autocratic '
government by the few against , the
well being of the many. Men who
drew up the Conservative platform
control the Government to -day; cone
trol the naval services, the rails, the
postofice, and have their wealthy'
friends among the bankers and a few
id the manufacturing interests."
In conclusion the Liberal leader
made a fervent appeal to the Progres-
sives of Canada to get behind the
principles of hie party and by unity
defeat the common enemy.
Lliet ins tell he " you declared decla ed cin-
phatically, "when the people of Can-
ada are going to divide into groups

win. From every platform I have
made the appeal to the democratic '
iforces not to divide but to stand to.

BERING ONTARIO.
(By a Visitor.)
This is a big subject and one that
cannot be dealt with adequately in a
brief sketch. Myobject in writin
these lines is to draw attention to a
few points about the Province that
generally escape the notice of those
who live here from year to year.
Rural Ontario.
I- doubt whether the Ontario inhabi-
tant, who does not travel much, real-
laes to the full extent the beauty of
this Province which is almost disturb-
ing in its effect on anyone who has
dwelt long on the prairies. The spelt
of the trees is over all, lining the
roadways and raising themselves like
green canopies over the fields and a-
long the streams and rivers. There
is a variety and sweep to the trees
not found in any other province of
the Dominion. Even the lowly thorn
tree is symmetrical right from its
base and is just the place for the boys
to find the birds' nests in the spring
of the year. Rural Ontario is better
cultivated and , more scientifically
farmed than farther west, and the
summer fallow is an art in itself,
chiefly; I would judge, because the
fields are smaller. The snake fence
is still common in many parts of the
Province and adds a picturesqueness
to the landscape, but I wonder why
more of the barns are not painted.
Most of these havd splendid concrete
basements, but the unpainted build-
ings are the only wrong note on the
rural landscape, favored as it is by
natural advantages over most parts
of Canada. How much better would
a painted barn look half hidden be-
hind the screen of trees that grow
everywhere. The orchards, like the
snake fences, are more picturesque
than productive of results, but I have
seen many where the land has been
followed and kept free of weeds, giv-
ing the trees every chance to produce
heavy crops. The road question,
judging from results, has been solved
in rural Ontario by the use of gravel.
This question will not be solved in
the western provinces for a long
time, chiefly owing to the lack of
gravel or the long haul when it can
be obtained. Even the sideroads of
Huron are good in wet weather, while
the main highways of the west are
bad when it rains. In reference to
gardens, Ontario has other provinces
beaten in the variety of vegetation
and the horticultural possibilities but
it is not in the same class as Alberta
in regard to potatoes which grow
luxuriantly on virgin soil.
Civilized Ontario.
Ontario seems to have all the ma-
chinery necessary for a highly civiliz-
ed and comfortable scheme of living,
Perhaps there is too much machinery.
There is the last word in transpor-
tation, and the last word in electric
power, and the last word in education-
al facilities. I am not objecting to
machinery as such, but I fancy that
the pioneers were just as good men
sod as good neighbors without it.
Some of the vital things don't need
machinery. Love making in the old
days woo more efficiently conducted
by means of the old horse and buggy
than it is to -clay in a six cylinder
motor car. Riding on the• sulky and
living on dessicated breakfast foods
is not a real substitute for the old
hand plow and old time oatmeal. A
man to -day has the privilege of be-
ing carried to the cemetery in a mo-
tor hearse, but I doubt whether he
sleeps any sounder or more secure.
Transportation machinery is good,
but it won't make the population any
more content unless it shows them
more of- the rural parts of their own
beautiful province instead, of whiz-
zing them through the country at
thirty miles per hour from town to
town. And educational machinery,
however, efficient, is a waste of time
and a weariness to .the spirit if it
takes the farm boy away from the
farm.
Young Ontario.
I yield to none in my admiration
of the beauty of the Ontario girl.
The balmy and humid atmosphere
seems to develop just the right kind
of cnmplexion,,and attempts are con-
stantly made to induce them to -emi-
grate to other parts of Canada. But
I feel bound • to say that the chief
characteristic that one notes in travel-
ling from place to place is not looks
but legs. Possibly I shall be misun-
derstood and critics may ask, what
about the complexion spoken of a-
bove. The creamy enntplexions are
numerous enough when not covered
with toilet powder, but the one thing
not covered is legs --]cgs of all kinds
and shapes, spindle legs, well-turned
legs and ill -turned legs, and to give
credit where it is due, most of them
presentable legs. The traveller can't
quite escape from thorn as they are
everywhere. (Note.—This paragraph
should come under the heading of
Seeing Young Ontario instead of
Seeing Ontario). I remember once
hearing of an old cab driver who car-
ried many ladies as fares, and one
day he had an exceptional passenger
who was unusually careful to wind
her skirts around her when descend-
ing from the top of the bus. In fact
she wasted so much
time (she was
that he looked upat her and
old)
and said in ab ored voice: "Come on
down, lady, conte on down. Legs
ain't no treat to Me." This remark
represents the mind of most men on
the subject of legs. The veil of
mystery has been torn away.
Political Ontario.
Similarly with other provinces, On-
tario is having its era of government
by the farmer. I believe that this
will prove to be a good thing in the
long run, not only in the administra-
tion itself bat di>r'- a opportunity •it
gives in bringing 'le rural •]carts of
the province into user touch with; the

of ideas as to hoW-the country should
be governed. I ligv'e always felt that
the farm party_ but a section of
the Liberal party, ldelining a Liberal
as a man with.Ilberel and progres-
sive ideas. Libeyaiism is the party
against predominate interests, it is
the gathering,together .,f the smaller
individual interests a„ainst the big
interests, it is the part of many men
against the fewer prevailing men,
and it organizes' only because organ-
ization is forced upon it by its_ ad-
versaries. Liberal ideas go on and
on, and are the monoiuly of no par-
ticular section of the party, but if
one section, like the farmers, wish to
put their ideas into practice and have
the opportunity -to de so, the other
Liberal sections shout I eo-operate, if
they agree with the alleles advocat-
ed. This is my idea ,if seeing On-
tario politically..
Social Ontario,
Viewing Ontario from the social
standpoint, one point c,f interest is the
total eclipse of the tooth pick. This
is the more surprising when it is re-
membered that in Saskatchewan and
Alberta this weapon is still in the
first flush of youth. 'Tooth pick ven-
dors have a brisk trade from Van-
couver to Winnipeg and it is only
when one gets on a C. P. R. diner
that one notices for the first time
that it has disappeared. As the C.
P. R. is noted for serving a two
dollar meal from' ingredients costing
a quarter of a dollar, this eclipse is
generally put d0'em to motives of
economy, but in Ontario one cornea
to the conclusion that it is not a
matter of economics but of social
standing. I was ta,kinz dinner with
a U.F.O. member of p,irliament re-
cently and at its elm.' I gently inti-
mated to him. to 'pass the toothpicks.
He stared at me as th emit I had ask-
ed him to pans some prehistoric ani-
mal. "What's that?" !-e managed to
exclaim. I said, "To picks." "We
don't use them," he replied, "and
haven't for years. "Tete I',F.O. :put
a ban on teeth picks .+Mie time ago,
in fact, as soon as Drury became
Premier. We found that our wives
couldn't compete in a s.,cial way with
other sets in Toronto unless the tooth
pick was banished. 1 know it is a
handy thing to ha'•: around when
hon have company, but .polities is a
matter of compromise anyway, and I
would lose calsis c' inpletely if I car-
ried them ar-,end,"

Will not get m" •-f touch with old
Ontario with its f;-hions of a bygone
age. One is Ie. complement of
the other and it a truism to say
that the pietism- and comforts or

created and earn.
EDIBLE AND POISONOUS
MUSHROOMS
There is a w:les,pread lack of
knowledge einem'. the general public
concerning the lility of so many
of the common ,:t ,shroonts growing,
except in the v r: dry weather, in
the fields, weed 'r in our gardens
and lawns.
The common :•: t of fungi is that
the one .grown ,mmercially, and
which is also f cid in fields and
pastures, is n : tshroem, and all
others are teasel Is" and therefore
poisonous. '1'h'• erms "toadstool"
and "nlushrn vi are synonymous,
and mushroom- .:.e classified either
as "edible" or .. "poisonous." For-
tunately ammo,: • hundreds of var-
ieties of mus!n arts there are not
more than four r five poisonous
varieties, hut as nme of the latter
resemble soniecv'c , an edible variety,
there is danger i'. mistaking one for
the other. All e so-called "tests"
whereby one nice ascertain whether
a mushroom is e.i.ble or not:, are ab-
solutely worthless. and may be class-
ed as old wives• fables. The only
way to know the properties of fungi
is by asking sante ane who is familiar
with them, or by studying them one
"-
1
byone as one would take upthe
itinstance. study of 'birds fur i s ce Unfor-
tunately, popular works on fungi are
not common, .hut several reliable
works are available to the strident
who wishes to acquaint himself with
the. subject, as for instance:
"One Thousand American Fungi,"
Mcnvaine, Babb, Merrill Co.; "Mush-
rooms, Edible and Otherwise," Hard,
Ohio Library Co.; "The Agaricaceae
of Michigan," C. It. Kaufmann, Wyn-
koop, Hallenbeck, Crawford, Co.
Practically no mushrooms are to
be found, during very dry weather,
but two of the deadly varieties are
litkel met with after r '
y �rains—
the Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria)
'and the Death Cup (Amanita -pb'sl-
loid,es), The first of these is a very
conspicuous mushroom, not resembl-
ingother any varietyIn the whole
range of mushrooms- The cap is
large, from four to six inches, ratted -
ed at first, then nearly plane surface
when fresh, slightly viscid. ifs color
is subject to great variations, rang-
ing from orange -red to yellow or al-
most white, the yellow color being
more common. The margin of cap
in mature plants is marked with radi-
ating lines or markings. The surface
is covered with thick, angular persist-
ent scales, usually 'white. These
scales are often yellowish and easily
removed; flesh white. The gills are
free, 'but reaching the stem. Color
white, rarely becoming yellow. Stem
four to eight inches long, shining
white or pale yellowish, becoming hol-
low, enlarged at the base into a con-
spicuous bulb, marked by prominent,
concentric, irregular rings. There is
a ring or collar on the stem, very
soft, large, white. The Fly Amanita
is easily indentified on account of its
scaly cap, brilliantly colored; large
ring, and bulbous, ringed base. It
occurs along roadsides, wood mar-
gins and open woods, genenrally from
June till frost.
The other deadly plant, Amanita
phalloides or Death Cup, is 3-4
inches broad, commonly shining white
or yellowish, but may be grey or
brown, olive to amber. It is viscid
when moist, smooth, oval, and finally
extended; the margin is even, not
marked, flesh white, not objection-
able to taste, gills free from the stem,
largest at the middle, white. The
stem is 3-5 inches long, generally
hollow, white. The base of the stein
is inserted in a semi -free, white, cup -
shaped covering called a volva, It
is of common occurrence from July
to October in 'woods, groves and
along borders of woods. It resembles
somewhat the demmon field mush-
room, but a slight examinatien will
disclose in the field mushroom the
dark colored gills and the absence of
the cup at the base of the stem. A.
phalleides is the most dangerous of
all fungi, and is responsible for most
of the deaths resulting from eating
- Tenfifteen to fif een hours
may elapse before symptoms of (pois-
oning may appear. No antidote has
been found by which the effects of
the poison may be counteracted. A.
safe rule is to avoid eating all mush-
rooms having white gills, a ring on
the stets and a volva at the base of
stem, combined in the same plant.

'h
'T e
i
reason vo '
splain. Every'
ince of the Dominion has had its el-
ection, and in every instance where a
Conservative party has beed"in power
it has been decisively thrown out and
a democratic House replaced, Ottawa
knows full well that it does not re-
present the will of its -electors, and if
an appeal was made no* it would
find itself out, in the cold. There-
fore, it hangs desperately on.
"Now is the time to regard all po-
litical questions from the viewpoint
of tine' -home. From now on that is
the one manner in which the Liberal
party will consider the big issues of
the nation. The home is the centre
of the country. If the families are
happy and prosperous—so the nation.
Hereafter we propose to study the
issues to the last analysis as to how
they affect the homes."
Taking up the important question
of the national debt, the speaker
termed it "appalling,” and asserted
that even should it be correct that
the war was responsible for a big out-
lay there was no excuse for the many
millions that had been, as he said,
squandered since.
He pointed out that in 1911 when
the Laurier Administration went out
of power the public debt was 'but 335
millions as against snore than two
billions to -day. Before the Govern -
anent can commence to carry on its
own business at this moment it is
confronted by the startling figure of
140 millions as indrest alone on the
national debt. "This sum itself," he
said, "is more that it cost to operate
the Laurier Government at any time."
"There is one obligation," he said,
"that we must be prepared to meet
in a worthy 'sassier, and that is to
our returned soldiers and the de-
pendents of those who crossed the
seas and failed to return. For pen-
sions and suleliers' civil re-establish-
ment we moat vt,te 135 millions this
year alone,"
Dwelling upon another source of
c'.-:ntinual and exorbitant expendi-
ture the Liberal leader bitterly at- ]
'
tacked the action of the present house
for
taking , over•
the railroads willtnut
even asking the opinion of the peo-
ple on the matter. The deficit this
year, he pointed out, was some 70
millions with 50 millions last year,'
oral likely 100 millions during the next
year. All these different expendi-
tures mean, he explained, that Canada
this year mist find a sum equal- to
$54 for every man, woman and child
ie the entire country. "There's your
federal burden alone," ho stated sig-
iticantly, "and w'tat we say is this,
t'ott we sh„old have in newer a gov-
:onieent that veil] practice economy

Discussing the platforms of the re- ;
turned soldiers' women's,nd Labor a
Conservative parties, the leader..4is.="
plained that all these, except thet
latter contained much in common withe.with
Liberalism, and had been outlined in
open convention.
"Who drew up the National -Liber.
al -Conservative -Tory platform, bo
ever?" he asked. "Was it twy con-
vention? Were the people consult.
ed ? No. None were asked an opin-
ion. It was behind closed doors.
Their leader, even the Right Hon.
Arthur Meighen, was never chosen
by the people, and was only the sec-
ond choice of the members. In his
platform as against a democratic one
you have the symbol of autocratic '
government by the few against , the
well being of the many. Men who
drew up the Conservative platform
control the Government to -day; cone
trol the naval services, the rails, the
postofice, and have their wealthy'
friends among the bankers and a few
id the manufacturing interests."
In conclusion the Liberal leader
made a fervent appeal to the Progres-
sives of Canada to get behind the
principles of hie party and by unity
defeat the common enemy.
Lliet ins tell he " you declared decla ed cin-
phatically, "when the people of Can-

win. From every platform I have
made the appeal to the democratic '
iforces not to divide but to stand to.
