At the same time it. is very ap- parent that Premier Bennett has no appreciation of the feelings of the farmers, or of the nation-wide feel- ings of humiliation and resentment his curt almost brutal refusal to see or have anything to do with them on• Saturday, will raise in their minds. His own appealeance might have been forgiven, if he had sent his Minister of Agriculture or any other of his Ministers to receive and listen to the deputation. That also he re- fused to permit.

Does the complex- ion of the meeting have anything to do with it? • At any rate, the Minister of Agri- culture was in Hensall, and in the course of his address, as reported by the London Free Press, he said: "No one can solve the problems of the farm: but the farmers."

Death of Miss Jeanie Wright.— The rather sudden dealth of •Miss Jeanie Wrighteearly Thursday morn- ing, came as a great shock to, her family and many friends in this dis- trict. Miss Wright had only been ill a few days 'from pneumonia, but for the past teverity years had been a confirmed invalid from rheumatism, which react undeubtedly hastened the end. 'She was the daughter of the late Charles Wright, and was born in McKillop Township 62 years ago, and for a number of years resided with her parents in Tuckeremith, before moving to Brucefield a number of years ago. Although an invalid, one would never know it from her mar- ner, as he was bright; cheery and happy at all times, and was a gen- eral -favorite with a large circle of friends. She is survived by her mother, two sisters and six brother's. A private funeral will be held from her late *home on Saturday afternoon and interment will he made in Mait- landbank cemetery, Seaforth. The Unemploped and Work. To a man who is willing and anxious to work, unemployment is a terrible and distressing thing, and in his distress he has the sympathy, of every good citizen. But, apparently, ;there are two kinds of unemployment, those who -will work and those who will' not. Of the' latter clase, there is not one who 'deserves or' should receive • any consideration at the hands of any community. , That such a class exist, however, is very apparent from newspaper re- ports corning from different parts of Ontario this week. - From Brantford, where there are several hunched unemployed,register- • ed comes the news that four farmers 'were unable to secure farm help when they 'made application at the employment office. These farmers offered work by the day, the month, or by the year, with board and up to fifteen - dollars a • month. No takers. At Orillia we learn that unemploy- ee, who were being given assistance, were found to be owners and drivers of cars. And at Windsor fifteen unerreploy- ed who were being kept by the city, were found in the betting ring at a race track, playing the races. Ontario has plenty of vacant land. Why not use it? Why not fence in as many good sized fields as we have unemployed of this kind, and then duerip one over the fence in each field with a bag of seed potatoes, a shovel, ea'n axe and a few other things, and let each one work his way out or stay there? It is not as hard or as cruel as it sounds, and once the 'Idea became thoroughly understood, it might work wonders. .. Mr. Bennett and the •• Farmers. The long heralded pilgrimage of • Ontario farmers to Ottawa to present to the attention of Premier Bennett and his government, the deplorable condition to which agriculture has fallen, and the urgent need of it oc- cupying a leading position on the Imperial Conference programme, •' materialized on Saturday last. • And, N.Was a great success as far as memlbets went, but there the sec - 'tees ended. The end of the road was a sad, sad end. Premier Bennett ab- solutely refused to see them or per. mit any of his ministers to do it either. To be fair, it was not all the Premier's fault. He had written the leaders of the movement, that owing to his complete attention being ale - mended by the approaching Confer- ence and the lateness of the date, it :would be impossible forbil.m to re- ceive a large deputation, but that he would receive a deputation of two or 'three. By 'bhree, the Premier evidentla did riot mean three thousand, of whieh the deputation actually consisted, etniseapiently he refused to see them. Fe* laymen can appreciate the 06i/tee:done strain under which a and his Ministers labor at eintesa 9.11d that the preparation let a World affair like an Imperial ••eidt Te.atilatt, en the Stair sf the local TUCKERSMITH Haying is now -Well advanced and fall wheat harvesting will be general at the end ofthis week. • Mrs. John Tovensend, of Fort*Fran- ci•s, and children, are spending the helidaye at her home here.
