Anyway, couet''i'hat.day lost that'the opposition ip the, LRgialature does mot add to the little. °worries and cares, of Messrs. Drury and Raney and their front row minh:hers. Se far the days thds lost are few and they are net likely to be plenti- ful in the future. If there doesn't appear to be anything contentious in the Orders of the Day, and if some U. F. O. member is 'billed to smother 'the House in ,his opinion of the world, the flesh and theother parties, it may be taken for granted ••that someone on the opposition benches will have a newspaper clipping of a speech by M•r. Drury or Me.- Raney, or some other government member, and they will want to know' if it is correct and if so, why it has been made. It is now stated that the session will not be concluded before mid summer and that "means that a num- ber of U. F. O. faruts will go untllled this spring unless the hired man does it. Anyway the farms won't have the supervision of their prosprietor-atates- men if the business of state con- tinues to move. as slowly as it has done thus far. Premier Drury blames the Opposi- tion for holding up the procedure by the many requests coming from the left of Mr. Speaker as to what the legislation going through means, and for the immense amount of quibbling over small matters. To hear Premier Drury in the House, the listener would think the Opposition had been put there solely as a stumbling block to wise and ,good enactment of a great government. Just like tempta- tion placed in the path of a righteous man. However, Premier Drury has little ideas of his own which he puts into effect, that are not altogether con- ducive to the successful conduct of ,governmental business. Since corn- ing down from Crown Hill he has developed a wonderful talent_ for ad- dressing banquets. At the commencement of the ses- sion he took a night off to talk to a Y. M. C. A. supper -gathering, on "The Model Citizen From a States- men's Viewpoint." Then he took a trip over to Welland to celebrate the opening of a new •hostlery, strictly temperance of course. The latest journey of the Premier has been to Chicago where he has yied with Gov- ernor Sproule, lof Pennsylvania, in telling the Internatiojs jelwaniana just how well the two eonntries have kept the peace for the last hundred years. Meanwhile Col. T. Herbert Lennox, of North York, in a speech in the Legislature, had been inform- ing the members what the govern- ment did with whiskey that it had captured under the O. T. A., but didn't just know how to dispose of, The tenor of Col. Lennox's state- ment in the Rouse, which he says he can prove, and which men named by him have signified their willingness to testify to, is that a shipment of whiskey was made from United Shippers, Winnipeg, to Rainy River District, where it was seized by gov- ernment agents. 'Coming before sev- eral courts the government was un- able 'to prove its case, hut the liquor yet remains in the possession of the government. But here is the essence of Col. Lennox's charge: a member of the Attorney -General's department is al- leged to have offered to return' this liquor to the United Shippers if they promised not to ship it to the United States—"would let thein have it if they would debauch the citizens of British Columlbia," as the aneniber put it. Col. Lennox says he will prove his charge when the Public Accounts Committee sits and where the matter will be threshed out. James Hales, of the License Com- mission, was approached by the lawyer of the United Shippers. `Brit- ish 'Colum'bia was mentioned and the United States was mentioned, but we declined that suggestion, as it was not a lawful place to send it," Mr. Hales is quoted as saying. R. R. Hall, (Liberal), Parry Sound, is a member of the Liberal Opposi- tion who likes to take a crack at the U. F. O. Government whenever he 'gets a chance. The other day 'he was belaying the government for its short comings, and remarked, "I wish I could use language to express my- self." "You can't use that kind of lang- uage here," Hon. G. Howard Fergu- son reminded him, and •the 'House laughed. The House was talking the other night about making every driver of an automobile take out a license. Someone suggested that as locomotive engineers were compelled to have tests and that their machines would run for .miles with the engineer asleep, auto drivers should also have to prove their ability to drive, Z. Mageau, Liberal, Sturgeon Falls, referred to one auto which he had seen smashed .by a C. P. R. engine. Everyone looked anxiously at Hon. Harry Milia, Minister of Mines, who left a C. P. R. engine cab for the Oabbriet. Hon. Harry grinned and declared he wasn'•t driving the en- gine on the occasion to which the Han. Member from Sturgeon Falls mentioned. Hydro electric railways may not be a big issue in Huron, but in and around Toronto it is the big policy with one group.

The government's representative on the Commissions, Col. Dougall Oar- michael, resigner, but it looked ]oke a grandstand play. He said he was dissatisfied with the way the work on bhe Chippewa had been conducted. A few days afterwards he was asked about Chippawa and said nothing more about his resignation.—J. H. F.

"The Man from Missouri," as Mr. Wood is frequently called, has been before the committee of agriculture talking on the need of a Wheat Board for handling the 1922 crop of the Prairie provinces, and Mr. Wood gave ample evidence of the fact that he at least knows what he is talking a- bout; knows what he wants, and is going to risk moving heaven and earth, but that he is going to get what he wants. Mr. Wood told a story of hardships among the Western farmers during• the past two or three years. They had been laboring, he said, under ad- verse conditions. Their costs of pro- duction had gone u,p while their re- ceips went down, and to -day they were faced with bankruptcy. Their hope of salvation this year lay in the re-establishment of the Wheat Board, which in 1919 got the farmers a good price for their wheat and at the same time caused not a cent of outlay to the country. On the other hand, the Board turned over $500,000 to the Government at the close of its work. The consumer was not mulched of one cent, so advocates of the Board declare, yet the farmers received some $50,000,000 more for their totpl wheat crop than they otherwise would have done. And now, in the hope of re- peating that miracle they asked that the Board be reappointed with James Stewart at the head of it. c * * * There are, of course, other witnesses before the Agriculture Committe, but Mr. Wood tells the main part of the farmers' story while the others from the Canadian Council of Agriculture join in the chorus. That his state- ment of present conditions in the West is not overdrawn, is borne out by every Western member in the House, and that the people of Western Can- ada want the Wheat Board is very definitely certain, but still, even in the ranks of the Progressives them- selves it is possible to find Doubting Thomas', who wonder.

Hundreds of individual cases will have to be re, viewed and there will undoubtedly be many complaints against the present acts covering the different phases of re-establishment. These will all have to be sifted down and proposals for amending the acts brought In. * • • • The resolubion to create the De- partment of National Defence went through the House and the bill based on it has reached the Committee stage with the prospect of somewhat stiff opposition to the proposal to include the Mounted Police among thesiefence forces. This opposition is coming from the. Conservatives, who say that otherwise they have no fault to find with the amalgamation. The objec- tion raised is that the Mounted Force being brought under the Militia De- partment will lose caste with the people of the cotmtry and in answer to that the Liberals and the Progres- sives have joined in reminding the Conservatives that the Mountee''Po- liee have lost more oaste througat be- ing used as spies and strike breakers than they can possibly lose through being attached to the defence forces of the country. * * • * e The interim Supply Bill having been reduced in the vote from one - forth to one-sixth of the total esti- mates, has gone through both Houses and has received the royal assent. Now the Government is assured a- gainst embarrassment when the next civil service payday arrives, and the Senators have gone home until after Easter. The Conservative objections when the bill was re -introduced on Monday were formal and 'somewhat perfunctory and when els. Fielding agreed to the reduction they ended. • • • • The Givil Government estimates are going through fairly rapidly' now that the hold-up of the labor vote is ended, and the session is progressing along toward the Easter adjourn- ment, with only an occasional flurry through the staging of an unforseen debate on one subject or another. The order paper is filled with a host of questions and private members' resolutions, and the government is allowing three days a week to get these out of the way before the Bud- get comes down after the recess. It is expected that it will be ready with- in a week or two after the House re- sumes, and that it will carry with it some welcome changes in taxation proposals. Farm machinery and nec- essary food and wearing apparel which must be imported are expected to be favored in the tariff revisions which the government is able to make on such short notice as it has had, but it is believed that the question of a general revision must certainly wait until another session. Because of the importance of the Wheat, Board to the. Phogressive mem- bers of the House, bhe Agrieultural Committee is almost as important in its work at present as is the House itself. There are signs of trouble brewing on one or two points in that committe and there will be many in- teresting meetings and challenges of witnesses. The House now has be- fore it a report from the committee asking for wider powers. The com- mittee was handed the Council of Agriculture memorandum and told to work on that. But some of its mem- bers declared that they must also go further and consider other means of marketing besides the Wheat Board, and that they wanted power to dis- cuss other things. The Progressive members generally were agreed to that, but they wanted first to thresh out the Wheat Board and then if they had to, talk over .alternative plans of marketing. The result was a divided committee on the question of wider references, and the certainty of a fight en the matter when the report comes before the House of Commons to -morrow. The question hos also been raised as to the eonstitutinnality of the Government appointing a Wheat Board of any kind, and some of the members objected to going ahead in committee until that was settled. 'Andrew R. McMaster, Liberal Mem- ber for Brome, brought that matter to a' head by moving to refer a stated case to the Supreme Court, and there that matter stands. The committee adopted Mr. McMaster's .motion and Will ask for a speedy judgment. Before the conr•miittee finishes it will hear the members of the former Wheat Board, the Grain Exchanges and Millers' Assbeiations tk5r bodies i tereststliv''"Wiffeli r' cilia eu't- egintieWill-be a Wheat Bbhrd remains bete' • 8een.'_.... CLINTON SPRING FAIR The Huron Central A:gnicultural Society held its annual spring fair at Clinton on Thursday of last week, and although some rain fell in the afternoon, the weatherman was very much more kind to the Directors than he has been for some years. The weather during the early part of the day was ideal and an immense crowd gathered on Main Street, where the show was held.
