Even at that, it gives the farmer'
with a speculating turn of mind, au
opportunity of making money out of
scientific farming.
As for us, if we had $25.000 in
cash. we would be willing to do with-
out water. But, of course, we ;are
not a farmer. There are some farm-
ers, too. who if they possessed $25,000
In cash, would be willing to do with-
out a farm.
Then again there are others who
would not. Some of the well to do
members of Canada's basic ihdustry,
for instance. But even to the well to
do or wealthy fanners we would ad-
vise caution.
We would suggest that such put
the $25,000 in one hand and the Doc-
tor's guarantee of rain, in the other,
and then let go of the agreement.
That, however, is up to the farmer,
we only offered it by way of sugges-
tion. As we say, we are not a
farmer.
CANADA'S NEW
;' OVERNOR GENERAL.
Ou,Tuesday Premier Bennett made
t.11e announcement that His Majesty,
the Xing, had been graciously pleas-
ed approve -of the appointment of
the Earl of Bessborough, as Governor
General of the Dominion of Canada.
The new Gorvernor General is an
Irish peer and a member of one of
the eldest and most prominent fam-
ilies in the British Empire.
He has not been trained in the
diplomatic service, but is a lawyer,
the first member of that .profession
that has been appointed to the office
of Governor General in Canada.
In' addition, he has large business
interests in both the old country and
abroad and is a man of great wealth
The Earl, who is in his fifty-first
year, has had considerable experience
in government, having been for three
years a member of the London Coun-
ty Council, and for eight years a
member of the British Parliament.
During the war he served with dis-
tinction in Gallipoli and France.
Earl Bessborough is well qualified,
both in business and government, to
. fittingly fill the high office to which
he has been appointed, and all classes
will welcome him to Canada.
PARLIAMENT TO MEET
ON MARCH 12th
The Dominion Parliament has been
called to meet on March 12th.
This is the latest date that Parlia-
ment has assembled in many years,
and many conjectures have been ad-
vanced as to the reason.
More particularly is this so on ac-
count of the number of contentious
issues which it is expected will be on
the programme of legislation this
year.
If there is a general revision of
the tariff, as promised by the Govern-
ment at the short session last Sep-
tember, there is enough material in
that with the addition of the Budget,
to keep the members in their seats
until early fall.
That will not please the farmer
members, but the farmers are not
likely to receive much consideration
at this session. Big business is in the
saddle.
Or, as Ottawa is about t h e
hottest spot in Canada during the
summer months, perhaps the Govern-
ment hopes the heat will take the
fight out of opposition members and
they will allow even contentious leg-
. is'.atic n to pasts ;without diucussion,
rather than stay in session all sum-
mer.
If this should be one of the reasons
for SD late an opening, it can only
meet with one result for the Govern-
ment, and that is disappointment.
The Government, on the other hand,
may not be concerning themselves
about the Opposition at all. They may
be intending to pass whatever legisla-
tion they see fit to introduce, by the
weight of their clear majority and
the assistance of the closure, and do
it in short order at that.
Whatever the reasons may be, and
the Government should know their
own business best, the date of the
Opening of Parliament has been set
for March 12th, a month or six weeks
later than the usual time.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry McGavin, of
Tuckersmith, celebrate 67th Anni-

MANLEY
The Late Mrs. Charles McCaffery.
—Word was received here last Thurs-
day, February 5th, of the death of
Mrs. Charles McCaffery, of Ellice
Township, formerly known as Miss
Marjorie Nolan. She was born here
31 years ago and moved with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Nolan 17
years ago to Lot 17, Con. 1, McKil-
lop, from where she was married two
years ago to her new bereaved hus-
band. Her death came as a great
shock to her many friends, as she
was only ill a few days when she was
taken to Stratford Hospital, and noth-
ing of a serious nature was expect-
ed, but was only there two days when
the end came. The funeral took place
last Saturday to St. Joseph's Church,
Stratford, where Requiem High Mass
was celebrated' by Dean Egan, and
from thence to Avondale Cemetery,
where all that was mortal was laid
to rest amid a large concourse of
friends, to show their last tribute of
respect to one who was loved by all
who had the pleasure of her acquaint-
ance. She is survived by her hus-
band and a baby girl' one year old;
her parents, one brother, Frank, and
one sister, May, who have the sym-
pathy of the community in this their
hour of sad affliction.
RAIN AT $25,000 PER INCH
An offer to replenish the water sup-
ply of New York city .by drawing
rain out of the sky at a rate of $25,000
an inch, or for a flat guarantee of
V350,000 for twelve inches of rain ov-
er a period of 90 days, was made this
week by Dr. George Ambrosius Im-
manuel Morrison Sykes, director in
charge of an organization which he
calls the Weather Control Bureau.
Here is an item that should prove
of more than passing interest to the
farmers in this and other sections of
Ontario at the present time.
As is well known, there has been
a shortage of water iri this Province
for some months. There was little
rain last fall and no January or other
thaws of any account this winter. As
a consequence, water is scarce on the
farms.
In some sections farmers are draw-
ing water from a distance of several
miles; others are driving their stock
for considerable distances to creeks
and rivers, and others are buying
water. Even in this district, which is
a favored one, there is no water to
-throw about,
Under these conditions it will be
good news to farmers to learn that
one of their many difficulties Can be
So easily overcome.

gregation of Hillsgreen United church
do appreciate your whole -heartedness
in helping the work of our church to
go forward. Your splendid good na-
ture and optimism has often spurred
us on to do the things we thought
impossible. You also have set each
one of us an example that no matter
what i; going on outside the church,
your first duty was to attend any
meeting in the church and we could
always count on having you there.
You have been an efficient treasures
for our congregation for the past four
years, which has entailed a good deal
of work. We appreciate the work
you have done gratis for many years
for our church. You have never stint-
ed time nor effort in many other ways
for our church. We appreciate them
all, but especially for your kindness
in building fires for us here for so
many years. So for this we would
like to show our appreciation in some
tangible way. Thus we wish you to
accept this watch as a gift and hope
you will be spared for many years to
use it. Signed on behalf of Hills -
green United Church Congregation:
D. F. Anderson, W. D. Turner." Al-
though being taken by surprise, Mr.
Jarrott thanked them for their
