lWE STABLES
„ stabieis which are now be
lied at the Canadian National
Vela grounds in Torento, at a
"ry y a million dollars, and for
.the Ontario Government is aup-
>Ix a large propartion of the cost,
et: under the censure of (Hon. H, C
on, Progressive leader, in a speech
a•
fleli:vered in the Legislature this week
And the Progressive leader is not
very far wrong at that. With the
Province facing an anticipated deficit
of over two million dollars on this
jrear's business, it should not be hard
for the Government to find other and
better ways of expending the people's
)honey, or 'better still, of adopting an
entirely new plan—that of saving.
No one doubts but that the new
stables, when they are completed, will
be a credit to the Province, the Can-
adian National Exhibition and the
City of Toronto. But, at the same
time, the Government is the only one
of the three to which the 'expenditure
will produce no revenue, while it is
contributing the main sum of the cost
of their erection.
Wrath the almost alarming condi-
ton of the debt of the Province, the
increasing expenditures and decreas-
ing revenue, the proposed expenditure
of a million dollars, no matter for
what purpose, should receive a pretty
stiff challenge before it is allowed to
pass, and to expend that amount of
money on a fair ground stable, in the
face of present conditions, is some-
thing the Government should never
have undertaken.
In addition to receiving no revenue
from the undertaking, the Govern-
ment can not even claim for it an ex-
penditure in the interests of agricul-
ture. For, as Mx. Nixon points out,
the multi -millionaire, who carries on
stock breeding operations as a fad,
has practically eliminated the ordin-
ary farmer from the show ring at
the Canadian National Exhibition.
The farmer exhibitor was quite sat-
isfied with the stable accommodation
at the Exhibition as it was. If these
conditions were not satisfactory to
the multi -millionaire, the Fair Board
and the City of Toronto, no one could
or would have objected to them build-
ing new stables, even at a cost of a
million dollars, providing they did it
with their own money, but the Prov-
ince should not have assumed or have
shouldered on it the heavy end of
such cost.

'On trio county reads, no such weight

a few trucks in the course of a day
or two could easily destroy the road

would make as finished a job on the
road as a ditching machine would do
in a field adjoining it.
Township and county, as well as
highway officials, should keep a watch-
ful eye on the trucks for the next
few weeks.

went to settle in Hibbert Township.
When we got to the site which my
father had selected, the work of clear-
ing a place for a home in that bush -
land was started,"( said Mr. Drown,
recalling his boyhood days when he
worked from early' in the morning
until late at night. "(There were no
schools in those days. I have never
had any education because I didn't
have a chance. After we were in
Blanshard for a few months, a young
school teacher, Hugh Chislom, come
out from Scotland and started to
make the rounds to the few farm -
homes in the neighborhood. He would
board at various farms this being the
only way by which he could collect
something for his teaching. The first
school was built on our old farm."
"One thing about the soil in those
days was that we could get a crop
wherever we sowed grain. St. Marys
was our headquarters and we often
drove there to trade for other good's."
Mr. Drown declared that the only
thing that could be sold for cash was
a substance known as "black salt."
This was made from burning wood
and then getting the lye from the ash-
es. It was used for making soap and
things like that. "Did you do much
travelling from the time you came
from Darlington County until the
present time?" Mr. Drown was ask-
ed. "Well, no, I haven't. The only
time I was out of the district was
many years ago when I went over to
see the London Fair," was the unique
answer of the aged gentleman.
Evidently Mr. Drown is one who
believes that smoking a pipe is a per-
fectly sensible thing to do. He de-
clared that he started to smoke an
old clay pipe when a lad of twelve or
thirteen years. and that he still enjoys
a few pipefuls of mellow tobacco each
day, despite the fact that his health
is not just as good as it might be.
However, he is looking forward to the
springtime when he will be able to
get out in the warm sun.
The Drown family after a number
of years in Blanshard, moved into
Downie Township, Lot 20, Concession
9. When Mr. Drown grew to young
manhood he in company with the late
George Painter, struck out into Ellice
Township and rented a farm some five
miles from Stratford. They engaged
in the wood cutting business. "I
have been a bushman and a farmer
all my life," said Mr. Drown in rather
a proud manner."
"We did not make much for the
wood 'which we cut and hauled into
Stratford. We generally realized a-
bout two dollars a cord. We cut a
great deal of wood out there in El-
lice, in fact, we cut so much on the
farm we rented that we had to burn
the fence posts for fuel one time,"
said Mr. Drown.
It was not long after this that the
Drown family moved out into Ellice,
on the farm where the younger Mr.
Drown and his friend George Painter
had cleared the land. Mr. Drown took
the matrimonial step on April 27th,
1887, having been married at the home
of the bride in Stratford by the lase
Rev. Patterson, well known early An-
glican rector in Stratford. Mr. and
Mrs. Drown have lived happily to-
gether since then, having farmed in
Ellice Township until Mr. Drown re-
tired some 23 years ago on account
of ill -health, and since that time they
have made their home on the Morn-
ington Road, just outside of the city
limits.
Mr. Drown can well remember when
Stratford was nothing more than a
group of frame buildings and he had
witnessed the transformation of a
young bushland country to a wonder-
ful, fertile farming country on which
Stratford is the centre. Mr. Drown
recalled some of the logging bees
which were held on the rough farms
of the several citizens of the com-
munity. From this subject the con-
versation drifted to the question of
liquor and the control of liquor. Mr.
Drown seemed very convinced that
there was no such a thing nowadays
as a good bottle of whiskey. "A log-
ging bee wasn't wort- while without
several gallons of liquor and it used
to he purchased at twenty-five cents
a gallon." said Mr. Drown.
Although' not enjoying the best of
health, the aged gentleman is able to
get around to some extent, but his
eyesight is troubling him and he can-
not read. Mr. Drown believes that
gasoline and alcoholic substances do
not mix. He stoutly maintains that
the people should either go without
their liquor or leave cars alone.

The snow is almost gone and some

good-bye to winter.
SETTING A GOOD
. EXAMPLE
The Border Cities Star claims that
Mr. H. J. Davis, Conservative mem-
ber for Elgin East, has established an
unchallenged reputation as the mara-
thon champion of the Ontario Leg-
islature. '
And this reputation has been won
by his almost invariable practise of f
:walking each morning from the King
Edward Hotel, where he stays, to the
Parliament Buildings. More than that
when the day's work in the House is
over, he walks back again.
That is a pretty good example the
East Elgin member is setting the
Legislature. If all the other members
walked as many miles before they
took their seats in the (louse each
day, the result would be not only a
greatly increased measure of health
for themselves, but it might result
in a very direct benefit to the country
at large.
There ares of course, a few mem-
bers, who after such a marathon,
would still have breath to waste in
pointless discussion, but the average
member would have something pretty
important to say 'before he would un-
dergo the exertion of rising to say it,
or have wind enough to continue his
remarks over a period of three mir}-
u s oh so.
Hence we would expect that busi-
ness would be expedited, the sessions
very materially shortened, and the
Province saved a deal of money. All
of which; would be to the good.
It might not be a bad idea to make
such a daily procedure for members
compulsory. There are a lot of more
foolish laws on the statutes now.

bors in the village. As the games
progressed it seemed as though it
would turn out to be ties on both
sides, but at the finish Miss Marks
carried off first prize for the ladies
and Mr. Snider, first prize for the
hien. After a dainty lunch served by
the hostesses, an enjoyable hour was
spent in music. A vote of thanks

An Old Pioneer Tells of Early Days
—The years of hardy pioneering days
in the bushland of what is now the
fertile farmland of Perth County,
clearly written in the strong lines of
his wrinkled, yet kindly, face, Rich-
ard Drown, now in his 95th year,
spends the happy days of his declin-
ing life in a small, yet neat cottage
on the Morning -ton Road in company
with his wife, formery Miss Annie
Johnson, an old Stratford girl, now in
her 81st year. A ,Beacon -Herald re-
porter had the pleasure of having a
chat with this old pioneer, who treked
into Blanshard Township with his
family more than eighty years ago
and Mr. Drown related an interesting
story of pioneer days—days "when a
rnan did a day's work," as he would
put it. Mr. Drown was born in Dev-
onshire, England, March 5, 1837, and
when a lad of five years, his mother
and father and a young sister left
their English home to seek happiness
in the new world. "It took six weeks
to make the voyage across and the
captain of the sailing vessel then said
it was the fastest trip he had made.
We landed in Halifax and then took
another boat to Quebec, finally land-
ing in Darlington Township," said Mr.
Drown. The family stayed in Dar-
lington Township for only about six
years and then started on the long,
hard grind to the much -talked -of
wonderful country in Perth County.
It took a whole week to come to Strat-
ford from Bowmanville, said Mr.
Drown. Then they travelled on into
Blanshard Township, finally settling
on the banks of the Thames River,
four miles below St. Marys. The
Drown family had their entire belong-
ings on one single wagon when they
made the long trek. Three wagons
were in the party coming from the
east, but the other two went; further
into Perth County towards Mitchell.
"I believe Wialkom was the name
of arm of those families and they

Died In Ottawa.—The funeral took
place Monday in Toronto of one who
was well and favorably known in our
village in the person of the late M. H.
Dent, the youngest brother of the late
Mrs. James Sutherland, late of our
village. Mr. Dent, at the time of his
death, was residing in Ottawa with
his daughter, Mrs. J. S. Strumbery,
and the remains were taken to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles
, McCrea, wife of the Hon. Charles Mc-
Crea, of Toronto, from where the fun-
eral, a private one, was held on Mon-
day afternoon and the body was in-
terred in Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
The deceased first made his home in
Mitchell, where he was married to
Miss Helen Mitchell, of that town,
and was accountant for some years in
the Merchant's Bank there, but was
afterwards transferred to Renfrew,
where he was Manager of the Merck -
'ant's Bank until bis health began to
fail, when he retired with a good sup-
erannuation supplemented very gen-
' erously by the Bank in whose service
he had been for quite a long term of
years. Following the death of his
wife he made his home principally
with his daughters, Mrs. McCrea, of
Toronto, formerly of Sudbury, and
Mrs. Strumner, of Ottawa. He had
'also one son, A. 3. Dent, of Detroit.
Mx. Dent was a man of remarkably
fine appearance, who had travelled
quite extensively, and in the interests
of his health had spent the winter
months for a number of past years in
Bermuda, and had attained the good
age of nearly 83 years. He will be
missed from Hensall, where he often
visited in the years gone by.

After two deys old, Baby Chicks should r ee*
have the "Starter" before them all the time. Let •
them eat all they want of it. There is nothing provided by
nature or science that so fully supplies the baby chick requirements
for developing health, sturdiness and growth as does the famous
Chick Starter
gives phenomenal results. It is a food that is
highly digestible. It contains vegetable and
animal proteins, with minerals, vitamins
and carbohydrates, carefully proportioned,
fortified with Nopco Cod Liver Oil.
Marmill Chick Starter will bring chicks into
the pullet stage with minimum loss. When
they are six to seven weeks old, change
their feed to Marmill Growing Mash grad-
ually as a sudden change in diet is bad.
