'N7Y AND TOWNSHIP
AUDITORS
ie
County of Renfrew is suing its
County auditors to recover the
sum of $118,000.
The auditors, of course, did not take
the money, but the ex -treasurer did,
lend although the ex -official has been
sentenced to a term of three years and
six months, as a penalty for his mis-
demeanors, that does not put the money-
back into the treasury. And the
county wants the money.
The defalcations have extended over
a term of years and the contention
of the oounty is that the auditors i:t
failing to check or discover the short-
ages in their yearly audit, should be
held responsible, or in other words
make good the loss to the county.
That contention may be correct, but
it is a question which the courts wi1:
have to decide. As far as we know,
this is the first time such an action
has been found necessary in county
or township affairs which speaks vol-
umes for the honesty of municipal
treasurers.
At the same time, one would say,
if the question was brought down to answer. The country above all others
brass tacks, that the county council that has made the modern world,
of Renfrew was as much to blaine in needs the modern world, and must
preserve the modern world is Great
Britain.
If we are to get out of the econ-
omic difficulties of to -day, we shall
have to get out through the leader-
ship of Great Britain and the British
tole+ • art owes to adept paYmmnt,'
Again he says as a Britsher: "1
want to be, frank with you. All the
world is putting on high proteetion
against Britain. 'Why should we not
impose' proteetien against them? But
ti;tde is not war. 4 Mutual trade means
friendship, and will lead to peace and
good will among nations as its does
among men. Our country, Great Bri-
tain, is the other great creditor nation
of the world. Our people have some
£4,000,000,000 Stg. loaned . abroad.
Therefore, we must buy the world's
goods freely, if our debtors are 1,o
pay us, But if a Protectionist Gov-
ernment comes into power in Britain
and says it will raise tariff walls and
prevent the debtors of our people to
pay -them by the importation of
goods, how would it be possible to
prevent universal bankruptcy under
such circumstances.
Therefore he says the present .vorld
economic situation is extremely dif-
ficult and dangerous but at the same
time quite unnecessary. There is no
reason why there should be trade de-
pression in the world to -day. It is
entirely due to the prejudices, the
racial enmities and the preconceived
notions of people who have no inter-
national economic outlook. The time
has now come when we in Great Bri-
tain and in Canada must think inter-
nationally. How can Great Britain
live without the world to trade with?
How can the world live without Great
Britain?
Look over this modern world, sec-
what
ecwhat it is composed of, and how it
has been built up with its railways,
its steamships, and its credit system.
When you ask yourselves who has
provided these facilities, who has
made this modern world possible, in
terms of world business and credit,
you must agree that there is only one
the matter as the auditors, perhaps
more.
If that county is like a good many
other counties.in Ontario, the position
of auditor is looked upon as a plunt Empire.

the reason it has been that way is
because the councils of these munici-

effect on this side of the Atlantic."
The present world situation calls
for Governments to bet toge tier, find
the facts, and apply comm :; reme-
dies. At present there is no concrete
proposal before the world's govern-
ments aiming at economic rectifica-
tion and consequent common action.
It is a time for leadership. The
Govermrents of the world should not
delay in coming together for the com-
mon good.
If some definite steps are not tak-
en to visualize the world problems
and apply true and common remedies,
we may well look forward to the com-
ing winter with feelings of grave
anxiety.
On the other hand, if we would al-
low other countries to trade and sell
to us on favorable terms they will
buy our goods with equal freedom.
If we are able to buy freely, and
at low prices, we can reduce produc-
tion costs and also be able to sell
freely and at lower prices. No other
country in the world has such a re-
cord as Britain in her historic way
of standing up to all nations of the
world, and saying, "We are prepared
to face the competition, of any coun-
try!' That is what Great Britain hat
been doing and we—her sons and
daughters—might well be proud of
her and endeavor to imitate her ex-
ample.
If we could early get this immeas-
urably more fertile trade world into
proper international focus, the trade
situation would clear amazingly, and
we would soon be into the sunshine
of more prosperous days.
With present world conditions star-
ing us in the face, with the lead which
Britain has always F./yen as a world
trading nation, and the almost dead
certainty that at the earliest oppor-
tunity the American people will ov-
erthrow President Hoover and his
high protectionist system, the pres-
ent Prime Minister and his comatose
cabinet seem blind as bats in rushing
this country towards a condition of
trade and financial ruin.
with more or less proficiency, councils
do not consider their services as worth
much. Say fifteen or twenty-five, or
perhaps at the outside, fifty dollars.
Well, any amount between fifteen
and fifty dollars is a sizable sum these
days, and the average municipal audi-
tor is apt to look upon it as so much
,found money.
But if an auditor's time is worth es
much as a county councillor demands
for his time and services, no man who
is capable of making a proper audit
of municipal books, can afford to do
it for eny such sum. Nor should he
be asked or expected to do it.
The old system under which mun-
icipal auditors have been appointed
has been in force a long time, and
more by luck than good management
it has proved a fairly satisfactory one.
Times, however, have changed. Town-
ship and,county affairs have got into
the column of big business and the
greater the business the greater need
is there of conducting that business
along business lines.
Economy is all right. Never has
there been a greater need of practis-
ing it than right now. But a penny-
wise, pound foolish policy, saving
fifty and a hundred dollars here and
there on petty things and, as in the
case of Renfrew County, losing a hun-
• dred thousand dollars somewhere else,
is not economy, neither can it, by anv
stretch of the imagination, be called
good business.
THOS. McMILLAN, M.P., SPEAK
ON
FARM POLICY
Conttnued from Page One
The simple truth is that the high
tariff walls built up by 46 nations
against the Hawley -Smoot tariff, and
the decline of one billion dollars worth
of export trade /from the United
States in 'ten months, is a world wide'
catastrophe. These nations cannot
buy because they cannot sell. They
cannot sell because of high tariff walls
being raised against them, and there-
fore a deadlock of serious propor-
tions is being created.
What has Sir George Paish, the
Eeonotnist, who predicted the certain-
ty of this world economic cataclysm,
some few years ago, what has he tc-
pay to -day? •
"The Statesmen and politicians of
the world are engaged in blocking
trade, rather than aiding the freedom
and expansion of trade. I compliment
thein on their success."
There is,, however, one fatal draw-
back to that achievement. It means
the suicide not only of Europe but of
the world itself. Unless you insist
col. a,. Change, conditions will be so
disastrous that they will lead to uni-
,versal bankruptcy. Look around the
world end think of this for example:

Twenty-one Years in Business.—
Tuesday, May 5th, !Marked the 21st
year of Messrs. Bonthron & Drys-
dale, hardware and furniture merch-
ants, of Hensall, and on that day, for
the advantage of their customers, and
to give an impulse to business as
well, they held a big demonstration
day and had leading travellers and
salesmen from all the large wholesale
business firms with which they deal
Upon entering the spacious store
which comprises almost a block, the
appearance was most strikingly- fine
with the wealth of goods which was
beautifully decorated and arranged
making it a pleasure indeed to go
through the different departments and
all of which were in charge for the
day of live demonstrators, commercial
travellers and salesmen, who were
there to demonstrate to the very best
advantage. All exhibits were splend-
idly arranged in order. Among the
first we might mention the Coleman
lamps, stoves and irons in charge of
Mr. 'Holmes. Next came the latest
electric stoves, so much in demand,
demonstrated by Mr. Lashbrook. Lowe
Bros.' paints and 'varnishes were most
artistically arranged next and found
a good demonstrator in Mr. Scratch,
who gave exhibits in painting and ad-
vice as to color schemes. Ranging a-
mong these beautiful and up-to-date
exhibits came Norge refrigerators, of
the very latest design, and lovely an-
pearance, with 'Mr.. Farr in charge,
who gave some practical exhibits of
the way eats, etc., could be kept in
the most improved apd appetizing
manner. Then a never failing exhibit
of great interest particularly to the
ladies, was that of the Connor wash-
ing machines, demonstrated by Mr.
Went, who would be a prize to any
lady pn wash day, expert as he prov-
ed to be. But visitors as they rambled
through the store were perhaps more
impressed than with any other exhibit
in the matter of the modern installing
bathroom shown in several colors, and
most complete and up-to-date in ev-
ery respect and was in charge of Mr.
Stone, who proved himself a thorough
expert in that line, giving every in-
formation that could be desired.
Among these exhibits there was, per-
haps, something very practical in ev-
ery day use in the display of Muresco
which is so cheap in price, easily pre-
pared and gives such splendid results
in brightening up homes as to walls,
ceilings, etc. This exhibit was in
charge of Mr. Lawford, who gave evi-
dence of the splendid effects obtained
by it to an ever most interested
crowd. Now this report would be far
from complete without a very parti-
cular mention to Chesterfield suites,
which are now so much in vogue and
found in nearly every well furnished
home, and which perhaps nothing sur-
passes in comfort and appearance and
the beautiful displays well evidenced
this fact and were in charge! of Mr.
Mundy. But coming down to some-
thing very practical, and neves' ,out
of date, was the display of co-nfor•-
taire spring filled mattresses which
for quality, appearance and comfort
could not well be surpassed. Mr.
Reinhart was in charge of this dis-
play, proving himself an adept: The
last but not least, by any means, in
our mention of displays, was that of
the De Laval separators and milking
machines and which proved a never
failing source of interest to all those
interested in carrying on farming and
dairying. Mr. Jackson. was in charge
of this exhibit and gave must inter-

Death of Mrs. Nathan Peck.—The
funeral of the late Mrs. Nathan Peck
which was a private one, was held
front her late home on Friday after-
noon of last week, to the family plot
in Bayfield, and was conducted by
Rev. A. Sinclair. The funeral was
largely attended by many relatives
and friends from some distance. Mrs.
Peck was one of our most respected
residents of a gentle, loving disposi-
tion and manner, and had a large cir-
cle of friends, She was held in the
very highest esteem. Her maiden
name was Elizabeth McKinley, ^f the
Goshen Line, west of Zurich, and had
been a resident here for a number of
years and was a consistent member
of the United Church. The death of
her son, Dr. J. W. Peck, some years
ago. bore heavily on her health, which
was not very good at that time and
marked • a decided decline in her health
afterwards. For a number of months
before her death she was most ten-
derly cared for by her daughter-in-
law, Mrs. J. W, Peck, who is a gradu-
ate nurse, and of whom she was very
fond. A sadness in the death of Mrs.
Peck was that Mr. Peck had not been
in good health and was not able to
attend the funeral. Mr. Peck and
son, Bert, are the only surviving
members, and have the sympathy of
the community. She was in her 73rd
year, The pallbearers were George
Douglas, W. E. Foster, Fred Hess,

United Church Parsonage, London, on
Saturday, April 25th, by Rev. S. C.
Parr, when Ella Christane, youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Pepper, of Hensall, became the bride
of William George Scandrett 'Pinney,
of Hay Township. The bride was at-
tired in a dress of French blue silk
crepe with gold lace trimming, and
carried a corsage bouquet of Sweet-
heart roses and sweet peas. The bride
was attended by Miss Grace E. Pep-
per, sister of the bride. Mr. Frank
Wildfong, of Exeter, supported the
groom. Immediately after the cere-
mony the wedding party motored to
Woodstock, where a sumptuous wed-
ding dinner was served at Canton
Cafe. Later the happy young couple
left for a trip to Niagara Falls and
Toron'to. On their return they will
reside in. Hay Township.

Our villagers and those of the dis-
trict learned with much regret the
first of this week of the death of Dr.
Cecil Ross, of Hyde Park. As the
doctor's home was only a little over
a mile south of our cvirlage, on the
London Road, and he was one of the
young men from this district who had
made a great success of life, and who
both as a boy growing up and a man
was so highly respected for his splen-
did qualities. He was a son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Gavin Ross.

ther following the cold spell of the

Mr. William Hudson, of Egmond-

On Sunday last very interesting and
well attended services were held in
our three local churches. At St.
Paul's Anglican Church the Rector,
the Rev. M. B. Parker, conducted the
service in the morning delivering an
excellent and well thought out dis-
course, while the choir did their part
in a 'very pleasing and helpful man-
ner. At the evening service at St.
Paul's, the Rev. A. C, Cummer, of
London, and Grand Warden of the In-
dependent Order of Oddfellows ach-
dependent Order of Oddfellows
preached to the assembled brethren
of Hensall Lodge, accompanied by a
number of visiting brethren from Clin-
ton, Exeter and Brucefield, with a few
also from London accompanying the
Rev. Mr, Cummer. The church was
filled, the brethren being seated to-
gether and were led in procession
from the lodge room to the church by
P.N,G., G. C. Petty, as Marshall,
when the Grand Warden delivered a
most able and helpful sermon to the
brethren,'which was much enjoyed by
all present. At the close of the ser-
vice, which was much enhanced by
fine selections by the church r•lioir,
Mr. S. S. Rennie rendered an excel-
lent solo entitled, "When I Have
Crossed the Bar." The congregation
emained seated while the brethren
re -marched to the lodge room, where
;notions of thanks were passed for
the able services given and to the
church choir and to the officials of
the church in giving the church for
the service.
The services in Carmel Presbyter-
ian Church were conducted by the
minister, the Rev. James McIlroy, who
delivered excellent sermons bath
morning and evening. The choir add-
ed much to the service by fine anth-
ems and the usual singing of psalms
and hymns.
At the United Church the pastor,
the Rev. Mr. Sinclair, preached both
morning and evening in his usually
acceptable manner, while the selec-
tions by the choir were well chosen
and rendered. At the evening service
Mrs. Maude Hedden took a special
part in one of the anthems in a most
pleasing manner. It will thus be
seen that the church services through-
out the day, in the different church-
es, were very helpful and inspiring
and well attended.
Mother's Day will be observed in'
our local churches on the coming Sun-
day and will, no doubt, as is usually
the case, be largely attended.
The Sacrament of the Lord's Sup-
per will be observed in Carmel Pres-
byterian Church in two weeks from
last Sunday at the morning service.
Messrs. Bonthron and Drysdale,
hardware and furniture merchants,
are having a large exhibit of their
goods with special demonstrators
present in all the different lines of
goods carried.
The Women's Guild of St. Paul's
Anglican Church will hold a sale of
home cooking and candy on Saturday,
May 16th, in the basement of the
church. Tea will,be served from 4.30
..As will be seen by local ad. in this
column, the greenhouse of Mr. John
Zuefle never looked better and was
never better filled than at thepresent

funeral of the late Mrs. John McLean,
late of Tuckersmith, a short distance
east of our village, and whose maid-
en name was Miss Eliza Dalrymple,

conducted by Rev. A. Sinclair, pas-
tor of the United Church at Hensall,
