Wth. EW PRESIDENT OF THE C.W.N. A. At the annual meeting of the Can - adieu Weekly Newspaper Association held in Halifax this week, Mr. Mal- colm. MaeBeth was chosen its new president. ,The honor is well deserved as Mr. 'MaeBeth is one of the best known and capable weekly newspaper men in Canada• He has always taken a great interest in the affairs of the Associa- tion as well as a great interest and active part in educational affairs of the Province, and the community life of his home town, while his paper, the Milverton Sun, is one cf the brightest sheets in the weekly field. The Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association is the largest organiza- tion of its kind Canada, itsmem- bership in Ca comprieinba over 500 owners of newspapers from coast to coast. To be elected as its President is a dis- tinct honor to be conferred upon Mr. 'MacBeth, as well as an honor to be conferred upon the town of Milverton, Cate the weeds ozk''their farms. Why not give relief in two places at, once? Why not provide work for the unemployed and relief for the farmer with the same a cpenditnre of money? \'V'hi y could not the Govern- ment with twenty million dollars to expend, hire an army of the unem- ployed to exterminate the weeds on the farms? It is work that cc.uld be done by the middle aged and old, as well as the young. No unemployed would be debarred. Half of that sum, ten million dol- lars, would go a long way in chang- ing the face of the country, and in making the farms the gardens they should be, and in all probability would be, if the farmerscould secure sufficient labor at a price within their means. TWENTY MILLIONS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT Premier Bennett has asked Parlia- ment, now sitting in special session at Ottawa, to vote $20,0.00,000 to re- lieve the unemployment situation in Canada. This huge suns is to be expenderl in constructing, extending or improv- ing public works and undertakings, railways, highways, etc. Twenty million dollars is not only money enough to relieve the unem- ployment now existing, but to keep on relieving it for many months to come, providing the money reaches the unemployed for whom it is intend- ed. But whether a lavish e_xpend:ture of the people's money in extending and erecting public buildings, roads and railways, whether there is an actual need or not, or even a use for thein, might be called a debatable question. The greater part, in fact nearly all the unemployed are located :n the larger cities and centres in Canada. If these large centres are going to have new public buildings erected in their midst as well as additions and extensions added to those they elready possess, as a gift from the Govern- ment, that is a very unfair distribu- tion of the money the people, as a whole, raise by taxes. And it is a very unfair distribu- tion of public money because no large centre has a right to benefit by the expenditure of large sums un'-ees such an expenditure is an absolute neces- sity to carry on public business. .More than that, no large centre has a right to be relieved of the responsi- bility of looking after and providing for its own unemployed at the ex- pense of the country at large. But granted the contention that the building of public buildings and utili- ties would relieve unemployment, just what proportion of this twenty million dollars would go to the contractors who would build these work,:, and what proportion would go to the un- employed, who are expected to assist in their building? Government contracts are let by tender and Government contrac- tors, while they may be noted philanthropists atr certain times and for certain reasons, in every day life, are generally shrewd, clever business men. They secure their contracts for public buildings or public works, be- cause their tender was the lowest re- sponsible one. Having secured a contract or that basis are they likely to fire their skilled mechanics and trainee crews for the purpose of giving employment to others who may need it? They will, of course, provide work for a certain number of unemployed, but not because they are unemployed, but only because they find they are : trong and capable workmen. That means young men and men in the prime of life, and that class does not provide the bulk of the unem- ployed. It is the middle age.•I man and over, most of whom have fam- ilies depending upon their support that form the great army of the un- employed, and these have little chance in competition with the young in any kind of work, whether skilled or unskilled. There are two sides to livery clues.. tion, including this one of unemploy- ment. nemployment. The people of the cities and largercentres will be inclined to be- lieve that the solution lies in spend- ing this twenty million in works in their midst, while the people in the country and on the farms will be in- clined to think otherwise. Why not split the twenty million and spend the half in each? The great need in the cities and centres is nployment; the great need in the country and on the farms is em- ployee's, iif1: great deal has been heard and etn d1 4o:teeter/it moritihs about the weed mitton the farms Of Ontario and .. oar,.:ceal and, many farmers iaai Wince have been severely lash •tire demands' made iter- fl deveinment to erali 1889 he was admitted to the bar and immediately 'began the pract.ae of law, first at •Peterboro, then at Petrolia, and for the past thirty-sev- en years at Sarnia right l up to the time of his death, he had been at his office all day on Saturday and on Sun- day evening he retired apparently all right, but died at two o'clock next morning before medical aid could reach him. His wife was a class- mate of mine in the old Clinton (High School, who maiden name w a s Aggie Cruickshank.• He left one son, Charles Weir, a very fine young law- yer, who has been in partnership with his father in the practise of law for several years, and also one Daughter, Agnes Weir, of Toronto. As a lawyer he was able counsel and had a thorough knowledge of law and very seldom lost a case in the courts of last resort. During the past 12 years we have practised law on op- posite sides of this St. Clair River. and we frequently consulted regard- ing legal questions, and I found him one of the very best posted lawyers I ever met, and as a trial lawyer, he had few superiors. I was with him in Sarnia when he defended the Gard- ner Brothers before a jury. These ti s American citizens and were men were charged eewith havings tolen the Sacra- ment from a Roman,,Catholic 1'hurch in Sarnia. He made a very able ano eloquent plea in behalf of his two clients, and in a short time the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. Be- sides being an able and skilful law- yer, Mr. Weir was well read and well informed on many subjects, besides those pertaining to his profeseicn, and he could always entertain any com- pany with his ready wit and humor, When he taught S. S. No. Tucker - smith, he boarded with Angus McKay and he was always the life of all the young people's gatherings at that time in that neighborhood. I attended his funeral on Wednesday afternoon, September 3rd. The re- ligiously services were conducted at his residence at 358 Christina Street, and at the grave by the Presbyterian minister of Sarnia and by his Masonic brethren, and he was laid to rest among the trees of Sarnia cemetery. When I looked at him for the last time, there was a marked change from when I first saw him, a youth of twenty years of age, and when I deposited my sprig of evergreen on his remains emblematic of the im- mortality of the soul, and raised my hand to the Grand Achitect of the universe, I thought that it could be said of him, as of the apostle of old, that he had tried his last case, that he had fought his last 'fight, had fin- ished his course and had kept, the faith, henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteous.—W.

Mcllroy, after holidays, will conduct services in Carmel Presbyterian Church on the coming Sunday, The Fall Fairs, that is the local ones, will soon be in full swing. Among the needed and much re- quired improvements, and essentially for safety, is the establishing of a safety walk for pedestrians attending events at our park such as baseball matches, concerts, etc., as at the pres- ent time it is most dangerous, lined as the short approach from Richmond Street, South, to our park is with autos, and who, in the rush of getting away especially from events, are back- ing up to the roadway and across the sides of the road where pedestrians are in large number, on many occas- ions and has been most fortunate so far that no person has been injured, but doubtless there have been many narrow escapes. Another matter that might well en- gage the attention, not only of our council, but also by our villagers, is the very late hour at which shopping is carried on on Saturday nights and for which we think there is no real or pressing need, as it makes it really impossible not to break in on the Sab- bath Day and 'makes it so strenuous for merchants and clerks. While the patronage is much valued, yet it would really be well worth trying to arrange that the shopping or busi- ness be done at an earlier hour than at the present time, and the good friends and patrons from the rural districts could do very much in help- ing out the situation by doing shop- ping earlier in the evening, as i,s done in many places larger than Hensall.

Archibald Weir was born on a farm near Arkona on the ,9th day of March, 1855. He came with his parents, brother and sisters, and settled on a farm on the second con- cession of Hay Township, a little west of Hensall, where they lived for a number of years. The members of the Weir family were bright end in- telligent, and after their work was done, their home in the evening was a regular school of instruction, and all of the members of the family be- came proficient in learning, and Archie, as he was then called, •went up to Goderich and wrote for a third class teacher's certificate and 1'e was successful, although he had never at- tended a high school or Collegiate, he began to teach. In 1875 while teach- ing he studied himself without a teacher, and again wrote at Goderich and obtained a second class grade A certificate taking the highest mark that year in the county. It gas that year that I first met Mr. Weir, No. 2, Tuckersnih, was to be vacant at the beginning of the following year, 1876, and he applied for the position of teacher of this school. Tucker - smith at this time had a township Board system, a system now much favored by Premier Ferguson, the present Minister of Education. At that time the hoard consisted of five members elected by the township at large, this was afterwards changed to a ward system of four wards, with two trustees elected from each ward. The members of the School Board in 1875 were John Doig, chairman, and William McConnell, Secretary and Treasurer, the other members of the Board being David Walker, David Sproat and a Mr. Aikenhead from the west end. At the meeting to en- gage teachers, Mr. Weir was engag- ed to teach No. 2. • I had not been at school that year, but had beet work- ing on the farm. Mr. Weir opened school in No. 2 on January 3rd, 1876. I was present that morning when he called school. He was a strongly built young man about twenty years of age. We all sized him up that day and decided that he was all right. I attended school until about April lst when I had to stay at home and work on the farm. I got the fall plough- ing all done and the roots all up and the threshing done and got back to school about November 1st. I was then in the fifth class, and prizes were going to he given in all the classes of No. B before the school would close for that year. We all worked hard and at the close I ob- tained first prize in my class, with Agnes Stewart, second; Martha Liv- ingstone and Sarah Sproat tied for third place, and William Young stood next. The last day he had school the prizes were distributed and we pres- ented him with a gold watch chain and locket. I made the presentation speech on behalf of the pupils who then attended old No. 2 school, and it was the first speech I ever made. Mr. Weir made a very suitable reply and he informed me a short time ago that he still had the chain and locket and prized it very highly. When leaving No. 2 he urged me to leave the plow at which I had become some- what expert and the farm and first become a teacher and save some neoney and go through for a lawyer. He said that was the course that he was following. When he left S. S. No. 2 he taught for some time in Bayfield and afterwards in 1885 he graduated from. Toronto University 'and later obtained the degree of L. L. B. from Victoria University, In :etc f kir; ZURICH Notes.—Mr. Wellington Johnston has sold the shed and large barn east of the Dornfnion House to Mr. N. E.

Mr. Clayton 0. Smith, south of St, Joseph, had to destroy one of his•best horses the other night when it was hit by a motorist and badly injured.
