Notes.—Messrs. J. M. and Con Eck -
art were visitors in our burg this
week.—Mr. George Welsh was in Sea -
forth last week on business. — Mr.
John A. Eckert is busy getting his
large incubator ready for hatching
baby chicks,—The March snow flurries
have been ideal for the protection of
the wheat crop, and if it continues
the prospects are good for an early
spring.
'The inconsiderate motor driver~is,
niafortunately, a species of humanity
i
9lta meets too often in th s country.
n y.
I. fact he ' or she is encountered in
se*, town, on every country road and
ail; every highway.
„They are so common that one 113
'apt to wonder how they got that way.
1IfT'1't ►ether it is an inborn trait or an
acquired one. And now we have a
very/ eoncise and very true pen pic-
ture of this class of motorists.
And it comes from the Hong Kong
'Weekly less; which says: "Some
people regard motorists generally as
a selfish lot, but driving a car does
not change a man's disposition—nor
a woman's. People who are naturally
selfish and inconsiderate when stand-
ing on their feet are equally unpleas-
ant persons when seated at the
wheel."
That is something worth while
knowing. The next time a motorists
crowds you into the' ditch, or' throws
water all Over "you, or one that cuts
in on the line, or one that holds up
the parade, you' will have a pretty
accurate judgment of that man's or
woman's character. If it is someone
you do not know, it is sure to be some
one you will, never want to know.
On the other hand, if it is some one
you do know, remember that that in-
dividual is as mean on his feet as
he is behind a wheel. It will be a
pretty safe, guide to follow in your
social aridNusiness relations with the
person in the future.

and directed that the trustees use the
interest of the endowment for scien-
tific research for the benefit of man-
kind. Under the endowment major
scientific problems have been attack-
ed and moneyl has been given to
private investigators for research
work. A solar observatory has been
built at Mount Wilson, California,
where an hundred inch reflecetin'g
telescope has been constructed. With
the aid of this telescope many new
discoveries have been made more
especially in regard to matter. It
is now known that stars exist which
are more tenuous than the ether,
while other stars in the heavens are
of prodigious density. One star is
so compressed that a cubic inch of
its mass weighs many tons. In addi-
tion to solar work the Carnegie In-
stitution is carrying on research lab-
oratories in history, marine biology,
desert botany, . domestic nutrition,
embryology and genetics. In the lat-
ter branch particular attention is be-
ing paid to heredity in the human race
with a view to establishing the laws
of transmission of ability. Some 25
years ago the Institution established
a Department of Terrestrial Mag-
netism whose purpose was to study
the magnetism of the earth, the na-
tural electricity in the air and the
currents of electricity that flow con-
tinuously in the earth's interior. When
interviewed Mr. Freeborn Johnston
stated that he had been attached to
this department for the last 20 years
with the exception of the three years
spent in the British Navy. All of
this time, with the exception of a two
years' residence in Washington had
been spent in foreign service for the
Department of Terrestrial Magnetism
on land and oceanic surveys and at
the Magnetic Observatory located at
Watheroo, Western Australia. For
the ocean surveys a vessel was spec-
ially built of non-magnetic materials.
This vessel, "The Carnegie," left
Washington two years ago on a four
years' cruise for the purpose of ob-
taining magnetic, atmospheric and
wireless data. Unfortunately, while
the Carnegie was loading 2;000 gal-
lons of gasoline at Apia, Samoan Is-
land, last November 30th, an explos-
ion occurred followed by fire which
completely destroyed the vessel. The
sad part of .the accident was that Cap •
tani Ault was killed. In addition, to
halving specialized in Terrestrial Mag-
netic and atmospherical, electrical pro-
blems,. Captain Ault was one of the
outstanding oceangraphers of the
present day. 'When asked if the
Carnegie would be replaced, Mr. John-
ston said it was unlikely that $500,000
could be spared for that purpose. For
the land surveys, individuals are sent
to little explored parts of the world
to make observations. In addition two
fixed observatories were established,
one at Huancayo, Peru, South Ameri-
ca, and the other at Watheroo, West-
ern Australia. Mr. Johnston has been
in Western Australia for the past six
years. That province of Australia
was selected because no other obser-
vatory existed within several thous-
and miles and in addition it was ap-
proximately on the other side of the
world from the head office in Wash-
ington. The particular location of
the Observatory was governed by fif-
teen conditions. As one of these was
a guarantee that there should be pos-
session for at least fifty years undis-
turbed by any habitations, the place
selected was in a desert one hundred
and thirty miles north of Perth and
twelve :Hiles from the nearest town
and supnlies were obtained twice a
week. To negotiate the seven miles
of very sandy road a Citroen car
with a rubber band attachment was
purchased. An early car of this
make had crossed the Sahara desert.
The Citroen-Kegresse car success-
fully negotiated the sandy truck, but
it was very expensive in upkeep,
^opting 75c for every mile it ran. Tye)
ye irs ago it was replaced by a truck
with 10 -inch balloon tires and the
truck is still in operation. The Ob-
servatory. being in an isolated spot,
and owing to the sandy road which
was also very rough, few visitors
'went to the Observatory. "It was
very loney for my wife," said Mr.
.Tohnston, "hut our two babies made
the place bearable for her. Fortu-
nately electric current was required
for the scientfic work of the observa-
tory and this equipment gave all the
^nmforts electricity brings to the
home," Three men were employed on
the scientific work. Continuous re-
cords of positive and negative con-
ductivity, atmospheric potential gra-
dient, earth currents and the three
magnetic elements were obtained.
These records were reduced and tabu-
lated and the results analyzed.
The complete analysis of the results
as well as their publication, will be
made from Washington. Mr. John-
eton is now on his way to Washington.
D.C., where he is going to settle with
his wife and children. He will con-
tinue his research work in Terrestrial
Magnetism and Atmospheric Electric-
itv in the head office of the Institu-
tion.
KIPPEN
Horticultural Society.—The mem-
bers of the Kippen Horticultural So-
ciety will receive their premium lists
this week. Further lists are available
for new members who will be welcom-
ed by the Society.
Address and Presentation.—On Fri-
day evening of last week, February
28th, a grand reception was held in
Watson's Hall in honor of Mr, and
Mrs. W. L. Mellis, of our village, who
have recently returned from their
honeymoon trip. Early in the even-
ing friends of the bride and groom
began pouring in from far and near
and around the hour of 9 o'clock the
dance was opened by a set consisting
of tfhe bride and groom, accompanied
by three other couples, which set the
ball a -rolling for the night. After
the first dance was Over, dancing was
put into full swing by some four hun-
dred people, which continued without
a break until midnight. After lunch
had been served and the bride's cake
had been passed around, Mr. and 'Mrs.
Mellis were asked to come forward,
when a well and interesting worded
address was read by an old favorite
teacher and friend of the groom, Mr.
Thomas Forsyth, as follows: "To Mr.
and Mrs. W. L. Mellis. Dear Friends:
In view of your recent marriage we,
your friends and neighbors, are to-
night observing the time-honored cus-
tom of celebrating this all important
event and of welcoming to our village
and community, her whom you have
wooed and won to be your wife. We
are here reminded of the words of the
immortal poet, where he says:
"You who are bred as a scholar can
say it in elegant language,
Such as you read in your books of
the pleadings and wooing of lovers,
Such as you think best adapted to win
the heart of a maiden,
Happy was he who might touch her
hand or the hem of her garment:
Many a suitor came to her door by
the darkness befriended,
And as he knocked and waited to
hear the sound of her footsteps
Knew not which beat the louder, his
heart or tljg knocker of iron.
But among MT who came, young Gab-
riel only was welcome,
Gabriel, the son Basil, the blacksmith,
Who was a mighty man in the village
and honored by all men;
For since the birth of time, through*
out all ages and nations,
Has the craft of the smith been held
in repute by the people,
There at the door children stand with
wondering eyes to behold him,
Take in his leathern lap, the hoof of
the horse as a plaything,
Nailing the shoe in its place.
As a tangible expression of the love
and esteem, we wish to convey to you
both, we ask you to accept these gifts
and as we invoke the blessing of the
All Wise Benefactor throughout your
future lives, we join in the expression
of the hone that: Ever in cheerful -
lest mood art thou, when others are
filled with gloomy forebodings of ill
and see only ruin before them, hap-
py art thou as if every day thou
hadst picked up a horseshoe." After
this had been 'ad in a most eloquent
manner, Mr, and MTs. Mellis were
presented with a beautiful chester-
field suite and a sum of money as a
token of the love and esteem in which
they are held by their many friends.
Mr. Mellis made a suitable reply in
which he thanked the people of the
village and surrounding community
for the beautiful gifts they had be-
stowed on himself and wife, and hop-
ed that each and all would come and
help enjoy them in their home. Af-
ter the address and presentation were
completed, dancing wa's again resum-
ed and continuhd until `the wee sma'
hours of the morning, when each and
all left for their respective homes,
wishing Mr. and Mrs. Mellis many
happy returns and good wishes for
the future. 'Music for the evening
was provided by Messrs, G. Bolton,
A. McGregor. C. Cochrane, W. Hayter
and W. Murdock, while Mr. A. Work-
man acted as floor manager in his us-
ual pleasing manner.

ONTARIO'S BUDGET
Hon. J. D. Monteith, Provincial
Treasurer, delivered his budget speech
in the House on Tuesday and from it
we learn that the surplus of receipts
over expenditures on Ontario's year
of business was the sum of $2,640,893,
the largest in the history of the Pro-
vince.
On account of these abounding rev-
enues, the Provincial Treasurer assur-
ed the Legislative Assembly and the
taxpayers be would be able to g-i-
nounce the good news that no new
taxation and no increase in the rates
of the taxes now levied, would be pro •
posed this session.
Very cheering news, indeed, as far
as it goes, but it is altogether too
much to believe that the taxpayers at
large and the country taxpayers in
particular, are going to remain paci-
fied and contented with the promise
of no increased taxes, when they were
looking for and had a right to expect
a decided decrease in the amount of
taxes they are now being forced to
contribute to the Ontario Treasury.
With a surplus of two millions of
dollars a year ago and a surplus of
two- and a half millions again for this
year, why is it there is no promise
of paying back the money levied on
every municipality to meet the On-
tario Government's own election ex-
penses last fall?
Wpth such a surplus, why is On-
tario the only Province in the Domin-
ion that makes the municipalities pay
twenty per cent. or anything to main-
tain the Old Age Pension scheme ?
Or why is there not a refund of the
money collected in gas taxes, when
that amount is double the amount the
Government expends on the roads in
the municipalities from which these
taxes are taken?
Or again, why is it that the best
the Government of Ontario can do to
put Hydro power within the reach of
the farmer is to lend him a thou-
sand dollars to install it, rather than
equalize Hydro rates throughout the
country, so that it will be available
to farmers and within their present
means, without mortgaging their
farms to secure it.
These are only a few oil the ques-
tions one hears asked throughout the
rural districts of Ontario and they
are questions that will have to receive
more attention at the hands of the
Government and more satisfactory an-
swers than that body has even at-
tempted to give, before another elec-
tion comes round, if the present Gov-
ernment expects to continue its, sway
at Queen's Park.

Action Dismissed With Costs. — At
County Court held at Goderich in
December last, John Edgar Dawson
sued his uncle and aunt, Archie Daw-
son and Margaret Dawson, of Kirk -

'he had been working in Detroit mak-
ing $20 per week and when he visit-
ed the old couple in January, 1928,
they induced him to remain under a

The Late Mrs. James Logan. —The
funeral of the late Mrs. Jas. Logan,
Sr., was held from the home of Mr.
David Robinson, of our village, where.
the deceased had made her home for
some time before her death, on Men -
day afternoon, the remains being in-
terred in Baird's cemetery, Rev. Mr.
Parker of St. Paul's Anglican
Church, conducting the service. Mrs.
Logan was predeceased by her hus-
band, who died a good many years
ago and leaves to mourn her death
two sons and; two daughters, who
have been living in the West, and with
whom she was anxious to have made
her home during the past year or so,
but her health was such, owing to
heart trouble, that the doctors advis-
ed her that it would not be safe for
her to traver so far, so she had to
abandon the trip. The deceased was
a bright, active woman in her earlier
life, with many fine traits' of charac-
ter, and was more than ordinarily in-
telligent and *ell read and versed in
matters generally. She will be miss-
ed by a large circle of friends. She
was a native of Scotland, her maiden
name being Catherine Nivens, and
was related t� Jessie McLaughlin, the
"Queen of Scottish Song" and to-
gether with her late husband enter-
tained she and her husband, when
they were touring Canada, and gave
a concert in our town hall. The de-
ceased was very fond of music and
had a good voice and often sang for
her friends at parties and entertain-
ments.
FergusoneConley. = The following
clipping Vvas taken from a Winnipeg
paper and refers to the marriage of
Thelma Kathleen Conley, whose
mother, before her marriage, was
Miss Kathleen •McEwen, sister of
Miss Lily McEwen and Mr. John E.
McEwen. of :the London Road, South
of our village: "Westminster church
was the) scene of a very pretty wed-
ding Tuesday evening at 8.30 o'clock,
when Thelma Kathleen, only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Conley, became
the bride of Mr. Donald Ryrie Fergu-
son, eldest son of Mr. and 'Mrs. C. C.
Ferguson. Fluffy bows of white tulle
marked the guest pews, and the chan-
cel was banked with ferns, palms and
tall standards of daffodils. At the
appointed hour the bridegroom and
his groomsman, 'Mr. Blair Ferguson,
took their places with the officiating
clergyman, Rev. R. Bonnell and Rev.
Berman Olsen, and as the strains of
the "Bridal Chorus" from "Lohen-
grin" were softly played, the bridal
party started slowly up the aisle, led
by the ushers. Messrs. Harold Conley.
Arthur Wickson, Nicholas Bawlf and
Ed -ward Gardner. The two bridesmaids
Misses Audrey Walley and Marguer-
ite Triggs, were gowned in frocks fa-
shioned alike, of French crepe, the
bodices close fitting and sleeveless,
with softly draped scarf collars, the
skirts flared from the pointed yokes
which were close fitting at the hip,
were finished in long eoints at the
hem. Smart bustle bows at the waist
line at The back had long panels
which formed miniature peacock
trains. Their hats were becoming mod-
els in matching shades, with rolling
brims quite' long in the sides and
back, and bound with corded ribbon
and having flat bows of the same rib-
bon on the brim in the back. Miss
Walley's frock was a lovely orchid
shade, and Miss Trigg's pastoral
green. They carried bouquets of yel-
low daffodils. Mrs. Trevor G. Rob-
erts, matron of honor, wore a becom-
ing frock of daffodil yellow French
crepe, made on princess lines, with
a close -fitting hip, and quite flared.
The uneven hemline formed a tiny
pointed train. Her hat was in a
matching yellow, and she carried a
bouquet of mauve sweet peas and
mauve stalks. The tiny flower girl,
little 'Miss Mary Elizabeth Edgar, was
sweet in a frock of . poudre blue crepe
made on straight lines, and with clus-
ters of French flowers.. Tiny frills of
the crepe 'finished. the jcirt, and she
carried a basket of early spring blos-
soms. The lovely bride, who was giv-
en in marriage by her father, wore
her wedding gown of ivory bridal sat-
in made on princess lines, the close
fitting bodice, with •a round neckline,
having long sleeves with tiny' shir-
rings at the wrist, caught with pearls.
The molded hipline was rather unus-
ual, 'having a pointed front -and slop-
ing in sides and back. The . flared
skirt was long and formed, a full pea-
cock train, with insest of "Margot,"
lace, caught with tiny lover's knots
of satin. Her veil of bridal net drap-
ed gracefully from a close -fitting cap
of "Margot" lace, with a fitted chin
band. and was caught at the nape of
the neck with a band of orangle blos-
soms. Clusters of the orangle (blos-
soms also caught the hem of her veil
and she carried a sheaf bouquet of
ealla lilies and lilies of the valley. Fol-
lowing the ceremony a reception was
held at the home of the bridegroom's
narents. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Ferguson.
Later Mr. and Mrs. Donald R. Fergu-
son left for the Pacific coast, where
the honeymoon will be spent.

Address and Presentation.—A few
days ago the Board of Carmel Pres-
byterian Church met at the home of
Mr. Robert McLaren, Sr., to acknowl-
edge the services which he so ably
rendered as one.. of its memlbers in
furtherance of the good cause. In•
representing the Board, Mr. D. Nicol
stated in .his address as follows: "We
are gathered here this evening to do
honor to one of our loyal members.
I refer to Mr. Robert McLaren. You
have efficiently filled the office of man-
ager, as Secretary and Treasurer, in
connection with our Board, so we ask
you to accept this gift as a token of
the high esteem in which you are
held, not only amongst us, but also
in the congregation in which you so
faithfully labored as a member. We
sincerely hope that it will cheer you
on your way as you enjoy your well-
earned rest." 'Shortly after the Ses-
sion also met. at his home for the
same purpose. In representing the
Session, the minister, Rev. J. Mcllroy,
appropriately stated in the following
few well-chosen words, which were
truly fitting for the occasion: "We
meet here to -night not to arrest you,
Robert McLaren, but simply to arrest
your attention for a moment. There
are many milestones which we all ex-
perience from day to day as we pass
along the journey of life. We feel,
however, that this is one of them,
which must be recognized in a practi-
cal way. There have been many noble
pillars in the church all down the ag-
es, who have been called to be leaders
of men and to this end have filled re-
sponsible positions in life, both for
church and state. Moreover, we have
notable examples of such in this day
of opportunity and privilege, so we
assemble this hour, as a session, to
pay trilbute to one of them in the per-
son of Mr. Robert McLaren. There-
fore, we ask you, sir, to accept this
gift as our expression of appreciation
for the faithful service you have ren-
dered to make Carmel Church what it
is to -day. Signed on behalf of the
Session and Board: Rev. J. Mcllroy,
Moderator; James Bonthron, Clerk of
Session; David Nicol, Chairman of
Board."" Mr. McLaren's reply to both
addresses was timely and to the point,
assuring all present that any service
that he was able to give to the church
in the way of help and uplift he was
only too glad to do it and would con-
tiz ue to do so to the end of the chap-
ter.
