'But it is spread- ' +,t$! and it won't be long until it will Ye necessary to have it required by . ^ A i$icial statute. '•lll, Oshawa is some considerable p4'aee, and no doubt the opinion of The Times bears considerable weight therein, but when that paper states that the Legislature will soon be call- ed upon to snake daylight saving com- pulsory, it is presuming to say that Oshawa and other cities are the whole province, instead of being, what they are, just very small spots on it. Daylight saving may have its ad- vantages in cities and some of the larger towns. It may even be looked upon as a boon by the adult popula- tion of these places, but to the school population or children of any age, whether in city or town, it is any- thing but that, or ever can be. As for the rural communities, com- pulsory daylight saving there would :not only be an absurdity, but would be next door to a crime. No farmer can work by a town clock in summer. He has to work by the sun, and as far as we are aware, no means has yet beer devised whereby the sun's rise can •be advanced an hour on a summer morning. No matter what the town clock calls the hour, the farmer has to wait for the sun to do its work before he can commence his. Nor are his seed time and hal vest time so unlimited that he can afford to stop at five o'clock in the evening, leaving three or more hours of daylight unused, and call it a day. And as the farmer has to take his time from the sun, so do the merch- ants and other business men in the smaller towns and villages have to take their time from the farmer. And it will be so as long as the towns and villages do the bulk of their business with the farming community, which surrounds them. There are enough useless laws ani restrictions cluttering the statute books now without adding a daylight a m. However, saving law t o thewe do not believe there is any present or even future fear of that, in spite of the opinion of The Times. ARE FARMERS CHEAP ? The St. Catharines Standard in a recent issue said: "Miss Agnes Mc- Phail in a recent address to farmer. at Toronto, said that "farmers were cheap" and admitted that it was an unkind thing to say. And, perhaps, it was as much unkind as it was un- true. Farmers these days take a lot of punishment from their political advisers." These statements of Miss McPhail are not only unkind, but untrue. And we might add, unnecessary and com- ing from her they are worse than the three combined. Not only was Miss McPhail born on the farm, but she represents a farming community in. parliament. There wase time in her early politi- cal history too, when Miss McPhail est up to be a political adviser and friend of farmers and all other species of down -trodden humanity. There was a time, likewise, when she re- fused to take all her sessional in- demnity, claiming that to do 31 was to rob the poor taxpaying farmers. That, however, was some time ago, quite some time ago. Miss McP'hail has found a use for all her sessional indemnity in recent years. She is not returning the surplus back to the farmers, nor investing it in farms or farming either. She is now one of the Directors of a Western Oil Comp-. any and has her finger in other fin- ancial pies. Perhaps she has even been looking for an increase in the sessional in- demnity, and perhaps it is because her farmer constituents having heard a rumor to this effect, have beer a bit outspoken to her on the subject, that she now is calling them cheap. But farmers are not cheap. They may be careful, most of them have to be. They may not be willing to mortgage their future at the say so of some political adviser, for after all it is their own money these politi- cal advisers are asking them to spend. Why shouldn't they be careful or ev- en frugal with it? TTo, farmers, as a whole are not cheap, although there may be serene of Miss McPhail's farmer constituents, after returning' leer to Parliament so often, beginning to feel that way, af- ier hearing her call them so.

Obituary.—It was with the deepest regret that our citizens, as well as friends in this community, learned of the death of Emma Florence, iieloved wife of Mr. Duncan McCowan, of Mc- Killop, which occurred at her home on Tuesday of last week, in her 53rd year, after an illness extending for several months. Mrs. McCowan was e daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Dayman, of the 2nd concession of Tuckersmith; and spent the great- er part of her young life in this com- munity. Some twenty-five or six years ago she was united in marriage to her now bereaved husband and for some time after their marriage lived in the township of Stanley, after which they moved to the township of McKillop, where they have resided till the present time. To this happy un- ion were born five children, two boys and three girls, all of whom were present at the time of her death. Mrs. McCowan was of a gentle, amiable and kindly disposition, a good wife, a kind mother and a true friend, one *hose heart was in her household, al- ways soliciti our for the welfare of Y her family and diligently ministering to their necessities and comforts as long as strength permitted. She bore her illness with loving patience and in the calm security of perfect faith in her Saviour's merits, passed away to her eternal rest. She leaves to mourn her loss, her sorrowing hus- band and five children, namely: Jahn, Peter, Mrs.: Nimmo, of Toronto; Mary end Beatrice, at home, also four bro- thers and four sisters, namely: Wil- liam, of W!hitewood, Sask.; Thomas, of Florida; Joseph, of Detroit; Robert of Tuckersmith; Mrs. Holmes, cf Til- bury; Mrs. Susie Straut, of New York; Sarah, of Tuckersmith and Mrs. John M1cClymont, of Kippen, all of whom have the heartfelt sympathy of this community. The funeral was held on Thursday and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. I. B. Keine, of Seaforth, who spoke very touchingly on the life of the deceased. Her re- mains were laid peacefully to rest in Maitlandbank Cemetery. T h e flowers were numerous and beautiful, testifying to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Those at- tending from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dayman, of Whitewood, Man.; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dayman, of Detroit; Mrs. Holmes, of Tilbury, and two daughters, Mrs. Forrester and Mrs. Piedmore, of Detroit; Mr. Melville McClymont and Mrs. Harvey Hubbard, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sullivan, of Toronto; Mr. Nimmo, of Toronto, and Mr. and Mrs. James Bryant, of•London. IDIENSALIL A Suggestion For Mailers. — It would facilitate the work of the cour- ier between Hensall post office and the railway station if letters an'l cards for the local post office were not drop- ped or posted at the street letter box- es at the hotel corner and railway station, for when they are often post- ed in large numbers the courier does not have time to sort them out and sends them out on the train, causing uncalled for work for the mail clerks and a loss of time also. Those mail- ing would confer a favor if they did not put mail matter addressed to Hen - salt post office in the street boxes, but in place of doing so drop them in the post office or in the boxes at the post office which are provided for such. W. M. S.—The annual meeting of the Women's Missionary Society o° the United Church, was held on Thursday evening last. After the op- ening devotional exercises, Mrs. Win.

A. McDonell; vice-president, Mrs. A. Sinclair; treasurer, Mrs. A. W. E. Hemphill; secretary, Mrs. Ed. Mc- Queen • corresponding secretary, Mrs. John ]Elder; missionary monthly sec- rntary, Mrs. Agnes McDonald; press -^cretery. Mrs. S. Merner; pianist, Mrs. C. Cook. Christmas Postage.—The Christmas ch 's felt at the local post office, in fact has been for the past week or so it the way of sending out parcels go- ing overseas and other long disti.nces. if mailers of letters and cards will ra letter P emembPr that sending tt r op .,i Toes not Ieccen the postage except it contains printed matter or newspaper report%, and also that only post cards can pass at the one cent rate that only bear Christmas greetings or New Year's ones of birthday wishes,, no message only thocii greetings, it will save a great deal of charging up short postage. Those mailing will favor by remembering in the rush these re- euirements, and not have their rela- tives or friends have to pay addi- tional postage. Pigeon Shooting Match of Live Birds.—The pigeon shooting match, under the supervision of Mr. John Passmore, and largely gotten up by him, was held on Friday last at our park grounds, and quite largely at- tended by both visiting and local shooters as the fallowing mentioned list of events will serve to show.
