Cot Arthur Lynch As Victim of Hate An echo of the Boer War reaches us in the form of an interview in the Sunday Observer with Colonel Ar- thur Lynch, formerly • member ' of Parliament for West Clare.' It may be recalled that Crane] Lynch fought for, the Boers in the South African War' and was later tried for high treason and sentenced to death, but after twelve months' imprisonment was released. While he was in the House it was admitted ;by even his political opponents that he was one of the most brilliant and cultured members of it. We can recall read- ing some of his speeches, which were models of persuasiveness and ele- gance. 'We make this reference 'mere- ly to show that he was by no means the ordinary swash'buekling soldier of fortune he was supposed to be at the time he was so" conspicuous a figure in the public eye. Colonel ,Lynch now says that hietrial was a violation of the pledged word given by Lord Rob- erts and Lord Kitchener; and 'that, in any event, it was technically il- legal. `yI was tried," he says, "for high treason but I have never in my life broken any oath of allegiance, nor proved false to any public duty, nor—and I put this as a challenge to my enemies—have I broken - a promise." Undoubtedly he violated no oath when he enlisted , with the Boers, for, like the Most of u's, he had nev- er been called upon to take an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. Colonel Lynch was -not a British Sol- dier who went over to the enemy. en anon lte There tliorefOr+ h ► a1 pledge to--re!pudigf ]#�r an an Austrailaa by. birth,. auto and tnishmall iay b3e�x he concl„nsi. arbor the inter; sts,.,<of,. the two co.. nttiea -';he loves hes Australia a 1<reial<td—would be beat served aby elia,,ilaeiaaing the cause of 0.4 revolting Bora% . lb offered' his services and aeon:died the ' 'Trish Brigade- ye- fesi ht as a republican for that/ a'a and. -ie his political re- ligion Colone•Lyneh says: "I have. never ceased to believe that the only principle which can hold together what is now Balled the Empire will be a com+xnunity 'Of citizenship and complete autononxy for the dominions as republics. iW'hen, I was a school= boy of thirteen I wrote an article in this • sense which I could now en- dorse." But.. the Boers'_Jost and Col, Lynch retired t9 Paris to wait the course of events. While there he was put up as a candidate for a seat in the. House 'of Comnions and defeated Sir Horace Plunkett, the Government nominee, and another great .Irish- man, ,Lynch, of course, was a Na. tionalist and supporter of John Red- mond. He would .have beenquite safe had he remained in Paris which he did while the election was fought, but afterwards he thought it his duty to his constituents to go.., to London and take. his seat in the House. By this time' a warrant was out for his arrest' andit was ex- ecuted when ,he reached the shores of England. Lynch was greatly astonished, for he had the best of reasons for believing that the Boer leaders never would have signed the treaty of Vereeniging if volunteers like himself, of . whom there were hundreds if not thousands, had not been specifically exempted from fur- ther prosecutions. But when Lynch was arrested he felt .that he had been 'hertayed. The French press,. which, had consistently supported the . Ber' cause, also,,,,,expressed in-. dignation and . an explanation was forthcoming from 'General Botha. General Botha said that the pro- tection of Lynch and his associates hadbeen much in his mind when he signed the treaty. He had point- ed out to Kitchener and Roberts that the treaty did not make this necessary provision, (but was assured that the reason for this was that they wanted to have the treaty ap- proved as soon as possible by the British Parliament, and that the de- sired paragraph might provoke com- ment which it was desirable to avoid. Nevertheless they pledged their words that there would be no . pros- ecutions,and so Botha signed. Later on when Botha reminded them of. their promise they told him that they had informed the British Gov- er.ntnent what had been agreed- to. It' would appear tom Col. Lynch's story] that the G,overtrment was so. anxious to punish hini' 'thet"' it was prepared to repudiate what Roberts and Kitchener had promised. If this is • so. it is remarkable that neither Roberts nor Kitchener publicly pro- tested, nor formally dissociated him- self front the l5roseeution. But there was in thC•treaty a clause upon which Lynch and his counsel, who was later to become Mr. Justice Avory, relied to secure his acquittal. This clause provided that every col- onist should have the right to be tried in the colony to which he be- longed. The contention of Col. Lynch was of course, that he had the right to be tried in Australia which was then a colony. Mr. Avory agreed with him and said that the whole proceedings would not' last 20 minutes. He instructed Lynch that when he was called upon to plead he should say nothing but glance at his counsel who would then arise and blow the whole case sky high on this point of law. But Messrs. Lynch and Avory had more confidence in the point of law than Lord Alverstone, the presiding judge, and, as it was made manifest, the chief prosecutor. He brushed aside the contention ami in so doing the treaty itself and in- sisted that, ,the trial should go for- ward with results extremely painful to Col, Lynch. We are glad to know 'that Col. Lynch survived his 'im- prisonment and became a brilliant figure in parliament. He is now en- gaged in the serene evening of his long and distinguished career upon scientific and philosophic studies far removed from the sphere • that won him international renown. ladder Weakness Relieved overnight Writer Tells of Great Remedy That Gives Quick, Certain Relief— Invites AH To Try It.

Pure Maple Products This is the time of the year, with longer days, more sunshine, and' the touch of spring -in the air, that makes one think, of the t�e'at, of treats as- sociated with thedoming of spring —maple syrup and,lmaple sugar. The industry in Canada has been revolu- tionized to such an extent that it now ranks as a manufacturing art, but what is more, important, under the provisions of federal legislation. brought into effect last, year where any product is: offered for sale or use inn._pu'blic, the word ".maple" is re- quired byelaw •to mean "10'0 per gent. pure." Thaf is, " absolutely no adul- teration oris edification of any kind' other than I" ose elements derived from pure 'maple sap itself are per- mitted. The bulk of maple produc- tion finds a market in the form of sugar, in .great demand by tobacco interests for seasoning arid curing their products. Probably the next important market is found with the ice cream trade, which now use ab- solutely pure maple syrup to flavor heir product sold as maple ice cream. Approved Chick Supply The term government approved is applied only to c'hic'ks which ane pro- duced under the provisions of the several :poultry policies which have been built up over a number of years by the Dominion Department of A'g- ri'culture: There are two general classes of chicks produced under the federal approval policies. Approved Breeder Hatchery Chicks. --These are the chicks which are pro- duced on the Registered or R,.O.P. breeder's own plant, and from their own flock matings which have several years of R.O2. or Registered blood lines 'be'hind them, and,which are.en- tered under the Hatchery Approval, Policy. This grade of chicks is es- pecially suited for use as foundation stock, being the direct progeny of birds which have been bred and test- ed by individual trap -nesting under Dominion government supervision. It is- the class of chick preferred by those who seek the very highest in quality for their commercial flocks, or for use as foundation stock. The Approved Breeder -Hatchery operates under government supervision. This includes regulation with 'respect to the operation of the hatchery plant itself, source of egg supply, egg size, and proper selection of chicks. Approved Chicks.—These are pro- duced only 'by hatcheries entered un- der ,the Federal 'Policy "bf Habchery Approval. They represent the big bulk of supply of chicks of depend - able quality. Not only does the hat- chery supplying thetse ehieks operate under government supervision, but only eggs norma] as to shape and of a certain size may be set, while the flocks from- which the egg supply is obtained are rigidly selected by gov- ernment inspectors 'before . mating with male birds of approved quality. Approved chicks can be obtained only from an approved hatchery. R. 0. P. Sired Chicks —A further sub -division of the Approved Chick class is provided where the approved chicks have 'been R.O.P. sired. This means that all the flocks used as the source of egg supply for the hatchery offering such chicks for sale are head- ed by Approved R. D. P. 'males, the progeny of certified R. 0. P. females.

Practical Hints It is a matter of general knowledge that the number of deaths from can- eel- continues "to increase year by year. To a considerable extent, this is due to the fact that the average expectancy of life has been consider- ably increased, With the result that a larger percentage of the population now reach the age when cancer most commonly occurs. The exact cause of cancer is still unkndwn. What has been observed is that cancer does develop in tissues which have 'been subjected to a chronic. irritation. Cancer does tot, for ex- ample, begin in a normal skin but in growths on the skin or in areas which are subjected to chronic irritation. 'Cancer begins as a local' disease, and the-conteol of cancer depends up- on its recognition while it is still a local disease, at which stage it can he treated successfully. It is be- cause the early symptom's of cancer are neglected or not recognized that the disease is allowed to progress, be- fore treatment is sought, to the stage when it has 'become generalized. 'Cancer of the breast begins as a local disease. Rarely does' it cause pain at the beginning, andi,eeause it does not make itself felt, the condi- sale.Gtsess e ren• -4, tion is thought to be of no import- ance. A painless lump or.. -tumour of the breast is more likely to be cancer than is the one which is tender or painful. There should be no delay in securing treatment at the first sign of a lump •or tumour of the breast. ,In the imouth, cancer'Y's"as1'bciated with the chronic irritation set up by broken • teeth, badly -fitting dental plates, and the use of tobacco. Any white patches in the mouth, any ul- cers. which dq,.,net heal promptly, or . .. 'over -growth of tissue should be re- garded with suspicion. Cancer of the uterus commonly be- gins at. the cervix, or lower end of the organ. - Irritation follows upon unrepaired tears which occur during childbirth. Cancer of the uterus- is to be suspected in cases where there is irregular 'bleeding or unusual discharge. Bleeding after the meno- 'pause is particularly suggestive. Blood in the urine suggests disease of the bladder. Cancer of the stom- ach is preceded by what the patient describes as indigestion/ which indi cates the tmportance of having' the cause of indigestion properly ascer- tained; in all cases, and not to re- gard it as the inevitable --result of in- discretions in eating or drinkin These points are brought to '•r attention because of their practical value. It is by giving prompt atten- tion to them that treatment may be secured, at a stage of the disease when it is possible, in a large percentage of cases, to effect a cure. The symp- toms mentioned do not always mean cancer—far from it, but attention to them is always necessary in case can- cer is the cause. Current Crop Report. Fall wheat, though bare of snow practically all winter, is reported to be in good condition in most eosin- _ ties, and alfalfa and clovers are also doing well, but sweet clover has heav- ed considerably on soils in numerous districts. Lincoln County , reports that fruit trees have wintered satis- factorily. As a result. of the eatn- paign to grow alfalfa, inquiries are reported by Peel County from all sections of old Ontario, and 'it is stated that owing to the abundance and lou prices of alfalfa seed this year, the farnners are going to seed down more than the normal acreage of this legume. Perth County re- ports a number of farmers busy cleaning seed grain and predicts a good demand for seed of the 1930 crop which was of very good quality. " Renfrew's seed -cleaning plants has been running at full capacity night and ,day andthat county also expects a large increase in alfalfa acreage.
