Ye, $T OF OLD AGE PENSIONS, thie present time the money that few old age pensions is furnish - by the Dominion Government f by the Provinces Which par - with the exception of the Proviate of Ontario which passes tiliSaata' per cent. of the cost on to tbe municipalities. Under the present system of pay- ments it is estimated that the Old igge Pension cost the Dominion Gov- eeninent $7,500,000 during the year Ma. Meat is a very considerable sum but nogg like what it will be if Premier Bennett fulfils his promise that the whole expenditure will hereafter be borne by the Dominion Government. Even if no more Provinces decide to introduce Old Age Pension legisla- tion, the Dominion on assuming the whole burden of payment will be un- der the necessity of finding $15,000,- 000 with which to meet its annual payments in this quarter. That, too, is a sizable sum, but large as it is, it is only half the story. At the present time there are four Prov- inces, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Quebec, which have never participated in the Old Age Pension, partly because in some of them the need of the neces- sary legislation was not felt to be urgent enough, and to all of them there was the cost to consider, fifty per cent. of the amount expended in each particular Province. If, however, the Dominion Govern- ment assumes the whole cost, as it is pledged to do, it is only human nature to believe that these four Provinces will not be long in following in the steps of the five other Provinces that Dave already passed Old Age Pension legislation. Something for nothing has always had an appeal to human nature, and Governments are in no way different from humans in this respect. Under these circumstances it is only reasonable to believe that the Domin- ion Government will not long be able to get off with a mere seven and a half million dollars, but that as soon as their election pledge is implement- ed they will be under the necessity of providing at least $25,000,000 yearly to provide for Old Age Pensions. In that case it will be one of the times when election promises come high. e :caused by coammung the con - c4 the cans, after they are :V- s likewise in doubt.

Death of Mrs. John Sinclair.—In the death of Mrs. John Sinclair, which occurred at her home on the Kippen Road, on Friday evening of last week this township has lost one of its old- est and most widely known Canadian born residents. Mrs. Sinclair was a daughter of the late Alexander Broad - foot, of Tuckersmith, and was born at "The Maines," the Broadfoot home- stead, 91 years ago last December, and isthe last surviving member of a family of eleven. In 1863 she was united in marriage to Mr. John Sin- clair and they made their first home on the Mill Road, near Mason's school house. Later they moved to Morris township, where they spent five years and then returned to the tenth con- cession of Tuckersmith, where she continuously resided until her death. A woman of robust constitution and strong and pleasing personality, she performed her duties in life with the utmost fidelity, and although she had lived in pioneer days and experienced their hardships she grew into old age with a cheery, helpful disposition that remained with her to the very end. In fact she suffered no illness and re- tained all her faculties despite her great age, and was practically able to be about until the summons came, which brought to a close a long, use- ful and helpful life. Thirty-five years ago she suffered the loss of her hus- band and one daughter, Margaret, in the one year, but she is survived by a family of three sons and one daugh- ter: Gilbert, of British Columbia; William, Alexander and Miss Sara Sinclair, of Tuckersmith. The fun- eral was held from her late home on Monday, when the services were conducted by Rev. R. R. Conner, of Kippen United Church. Interment was made in Maitlandbank Cemetery, Seaforth, the pallbearers being all old friends and neighbors of the family. School Report—The following is the report of S. S.

Sr. IIII—Verna McLean THERE ARE OTHER REASONS tie Vancouver Sun has come to the conclusion that because last year out of every hundred men accidently hurt, twenty-seven were hurt in the home, it must necessarily follow that man must be staying at home more than formerly or there would not be more of them meeting with accidents there, as the casualties are consider- ably above the average of the past ten years. To this the Toronto Star takes ob- jection. The Star man Says that probably these men met with acci- dents at home because they were less familiar than formerly with the premises. Both these papers are right in a way, but they don't go far enough in their, deductions. There are many more reasons than either give why men meet with many more casualties in the home than they used to meet with in other days. There might be some doubt ex- pressed in the statement that mar. spends more of his time at home than he used to spend, but there can be no denial of the statement that the woman of the house spends less and less of her time there. Likewise, the statement that man is less familiar with his home, is only a part truth. He is as familiar witb his part of the home as he ever was. There always was a part that he never was familiar with, and never was expected or allowed to be famil- iar with, and that was the -working part. His wife attended to that. And it was right in that working part of the home, we believe, that this record of accidents found its be- ing. Man is still, in a manner of !speaking, unfamiliar with it, and ex- perience is not gained without some casualties. Man doesn't live any more in a cooking age. He lives in a can age. Nowadays 'when a man comes home to his meals and finds; no one at home and nothing prepared for him, he doesn't , sit down and wait for the tame maker to put in an appearance. No, indeed! He has more independ- efiCes and anyway what would be the nava? .

F. W, Q.—The February meet- ing of the Brueefield U. F. W. 0. was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chris. Haugh with Me. 'WM. Doug- las, the president, in the chair. The meeting opened with singing and re- peating the creed in unison. The roll cal) was responded to by something' pertaining to St. Valentine's Da,y and showed a good attendance of members and, several visitors. After the usual form of business was transacted, Mrs. Alex. Wright and Mrs. Wm. Douglas gave two excellent topics on "Milk, Our Most Perfect Food." Mrs. R. Speir gave a reading on "The Busy- body," which was much enjoyed, also a reading was given by Mrs. Charles Clifton, "The Need of Organization, or Our Farmers Asleep at the Switch" which was very interesting. After this the ladies joined the men's club and Miss J. 'Murdoca favored with a solo. They then listened with inter- est to the remainder of Miss Wal- dron's splendid report. Lunch was served by the hostess and friends. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the host and hostess. The March meeting will be held at the home of Miss Munro on Tuesday, March 10th. A full attendance is requested. All the rest of the hockey boys Are young and some have girls; Leo Hicknell, so they all say, Has one with nice long curls. Joe Malone who plays on right wing, It really is a pity; Joe is one that stays in at nights, His colleen's in the city. Jim Morris on the other side, I guess he has no dear, But Jimmie is a husky guy And always full of cheer. Jack Daly roams the centre ice, A real good sport, you bet, But never mind, I kinda think Some girl will get him yet. Jack Moylan subs on 'Jimmie's wing And works hard out there too, He, like Malone, is all alone, His girl is with Joe's too. George Malone is a real nice chap, In centre ice he plays, But he is always out at nights And sleeps near all the days. Emmett Malone and Francis Hart, These two complete the team; They also worked and helped the boys In taking home the cream. All of the fans were at the game And thought that it was good; Tommie O'Reilly's busy now Drawing Carlin his wood. VEE ELL. fir& —T. Ayotte, pay list, Road 10, $2.50; R.

Immediately after the cer- emony, the wedding party drove to the home of the bride's parents for a sumptuous wedding dinner at which a number of relatives were present.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Corbett, accom- panied by Mr. and Mrs. James Sang- ster, motored to Landon on Wednes- day last.

Large congregations were present at the United Church on Sunday last at both services. Mr. W. H. Johnston. of Exeter, took charge of the morn- ing service, in the absence of Rev. A.
