Commercial Treaty Looms
As Concrete Result of Em-
pire Trade Conference ;
Many Canadians Regard
St. Lawrence Project as
Hoover ' Pre-election Ges-
ture.
APPEAR' TO BE IN
Is SIGHT OF AGREEMENT
A trade treaty between Great Bri-
twin, Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land, South Africa,the Irish Free
State and India now seems certain
to be the concrete result from • the
Imperial Conference in progress here.
The meeting is expected' to conclude
by August' 20th, the date when' the
British delegation will sail home.
There is every prospect' 'of substan-
tial achievement, notwithstanding the
difficulties•• which have been. enoeunt-
ered. T'h,is reflects the helpful re-
sults from pre -conference exchanges
of view between the different parties.
Thi preparation was so complete and
the knowledge of what each party
wanted so adequate, that the •task
of the gathering has been very Much,
ntodited. Not only is an agreement
or treaty assured, but, differing from
a comrmon eepectatdon, it will embody
�
"`'`'' apecdfic details. There will be a
l general provision for these details be-
uig added, to frotm time to time, as
the opportunity arises.
Bennett Springs Surprise.
The position taken by the Canadian
prime minister urprised many pec-
ple, bu• c tents of the press indi-
cate that eonrimendation far exceeds
criticism. Mr. Bennett is an arvbwed
inoteetionist. He ie not recanting
from that principle, but, in effect, has
served notice' upon Canadian manu-
facturimrg industry that they are not
to be allowed to do as they please
behind the security of a• tariff weal.
The "mature" industry, already in
the expiort market, .gets the plain hint
that it may expect competition• • from
Great Britain by means of tariff pre-
ference. If it is allele to, compete with
' Great Britain in foreign markets it
'eiesould be able, es well, Lao compete in
the hhbine market. Then there was a
further significant reference to "ef-
ficient" Canadian industry. It took
the form of •a clear ultimatum to
ehipse.concerns Which ate lagging be -
bind in equipment and organization
and modern methods, fearing no out-
side competititoan, because of the pro-
sbectiors of the ifififf, that they can
expect. no favors, ;They are advised
Pio '`buck up." Great Britain berg
ready to give a preference to certain
{prim'aryproducts of Canada, she isto
have a greater freedom of •admission
to the markets of Canada fork tier
manufactures.
Subsbantial Lowering of Duties.
This is not to say, 'however, that/
any Canadian 'industry is to be s'aeri-
iic+ed. No particular lamb is selected.
for die slaughter. But, 'all along the
line of a thousand items .in the pro-
tective tariff, there will be selections
dere and there, for a • snibstantial low-
ering of duties. The classifications
more particularly to be affected will
likely include !textiles, cottons and
woollen goods; iron and steel, some
kinds of -machinery, porcelain and
pottery, along with a variety of mis-
cellaneous 'manufactures. And, in
turn, Canada is hoping for a Prefer-
ence , fronn Great Britain on lumber,
dairy produce, meat 'produce, cantle
and (base metals.
Wheat Question Mystifies.
But the most mystifying of all de-
velopments is the recantation of the
western grain people—+the producers
-as well rig the trade—from their his-
toric demand for a preference on
wheat. The common impression has
been that, of all things, this was the
one most fervently , desired. But,
:strange as it seems,that is the in-
4limatihn officially passed on. The
-frame of mind appears to be induc-
ed by rbh,e fact that most of the wheat

An Early Start
Mr. W. P. Thompson, of
Tuckersm'iith, got a.'need start
on other farmers of the dis-
trict when on Saturday, Jelly .
30th,, he tuft five acres of oats
fon his farm on the second con-
cession. The grain was the
Gopher variety and it is esti-
mated will average 60 bushels
to the acre. Cutting oats in
July., .even the end of July, is
opt, by any means, an old Hur-
on cu:atom.
GODERICH TP.
The raspberry social held on the
lawn of Grace Church was a•decided
success. It marked the fifth anni-
vereery of the laying of the corner-
stone. At 6.30 a softball game be-
tween Holmesville and Porter's' Hill
was played, Porter's Hill winning.
Supper was 'served between 6 and 8,
after which the play entitled, "Just
a Stepchild" was presented by the
young people of Victoria Street Unit-

ly enjoyed by all. There were several
good morals in the play and lots of
humor, which brought forth hearty
laughter and much applause from
the audience. Rev. le Gale, tractor
of Grace Church, and Rev. F. W.
Craik pastor of Victoria Cli:trreh,
Goderich, spoke briefly. Mr. Alex.
Pudwell was pianist. Mr. Robert
Henry gave selections, on the cornet
and Ronald Pennington .gave selec-
tions on the harmonica and guitar.

Robert Murless-Jones
(By one who used to work for him.)
' Of all the friends who have been
saddened by his death, we who work-
ed with him knee him perhaps most
closely. The sudden shock of his
passing brings with it a merle of
grief which is' deepened -by the re-
alization that the best ..years of his
life were still before .h•m; but that
eame gi.by the pleas-
ant •mem'ories of essUiatiette He was
a shrewd and cap ole Anker. A re-
markable insight to ihu' ma.n nature
gave him remarka'ble''eucces's with his
loans, and he rarely made a mistake.
Yet he kept the interests of his bank
' end depositors always to the fore and
that borrower fared ill who failed in
his agreements. He was popular with
the public, for he mixed easily in any
'society, and the poorest cu'stomer was
treated with the same courtesy as the
finest prospeet. Yet he was always
apolished and reserved, a trait which
t s'ometimq taken for aloofness.
The staff almiost worshipped him, He
took the keenest interest in hie boys,
and pointed with pride to those who
'had passed through his school of
training. Some of us disappointed him
but the others made good, to the
truth of which statement a goodly
number of managers and accountants
stand witness, as well as many who
have changed to other lines of busi-
ness. He was never a hard driver.
The man who would not work of his
own accord fell by the wayside. But
so encoutrag•i.ng was he to those who
tridd; eo reproachful to those who did
not; and yet, at all times so even-
temperecJ and fair, ..that few failed
.Mr. Jones had a pleasant phil-
osophy.. Life to him was the end
rather than the means. He never
worked too hard, nor did he expect
too much of other, for he took too
much pleasure out of living. Hefts
tolerant and liberal, and he peeeeeeed
a fund of good humor that never ran
row. The world is a better place be-
cause be has been here, t

Farmers Try This
One.
Where you have pasture fields that
you do 'net for some reason wish to
bring under cultivation for several
years, and which are becoming More
and more infested with noxious
weeds each succeeding season, we re-
commend what is termed "clipping,"
that is running the mower over these
fields and cutting them -at a height
of about six- inches. The purpose of
this is, first,,you cut all weeds such as
wild carrot, tansy, sow thistle, golden
rod and late daisy, besides many
others which are flowering, during
the month of Jv1y, and thus prevent
their seeding. .Secondly, you provide
a mulch fqr a new growth of grass
at a season of the year when it is
vary much needed; it also protects
the ground from the direct rays of
the sun and prevents the rapid evap-
oration of the surface moisture a.;
it otherwise will do. Thirdly, when,
there is a thin stand of natural June
grass or timothy, this cutting wilt in •
sure a re -seeding and thickening of
the grass for the following years'.
,here are a number of farmers in
ether sections who here been follow-
ing this course o£ treatment of their
pasture lands for several seasons,
v•ith the result that they are almost
entirely free of weeds, in addition to
which they have more succulent pas-
turage during the late summer and
fail months. All that is required to
fit your mower for this work is an
extra shoe for the inner end of the
cutting bar and another for the out-
er end, or a wheel to take the place
of this one, so that the cast, aside
frim the time required for cutting,
is almost nil. Thies/es the time of
year—late July and beginning of
August---rwhen this work will be most
t dventageous, and we would respect-
fully ask a number of the farmers of
the township to try this method for
a season or two and demonstrate by
their own experience its value to
them and to their neighbors, as this
problem of weedy pasture fields is
one of the important ones we have
to deal with at the present time. If
it is possihle to increase the grassing
values of our pasture lands and at
the same time have a worthwhile
remedy for the eradication of weeds,
it is surely worthy of a trial: Will
you try it out.
Yours sincerely,
A. A. CUTHILL,
Weed Inspector, .McKillop,

time is assured. Membersof the
family' numbering between forty and
fifty were present, extending to the
