If the weather man would just deep a little now about the middle of De- cember to heighten the Christmas cheer 'end thee withdraw it shortly after the New Year, it would just be about right. 'However, we should not complain or grumble too much. These are far worse things than snow, and the weather man has the disposal of a good many of them. But, really, six inches 'or a foot of snow in the 'middle of October is just a bit early even in Canada. • The Bpe Elections ThrerRe-elections to fill vacancies in the House of Commons were held on Monday of this week. Of these vacancies one was in NetyPrunswick; one in Quebec, and one in Saskatchewan, and 'the....orsin- ions expressed ,by' the electors in these three constituencies might fair- ly be taken as the expression of pub- lic opinion across Canada. Viewed in this light there are three things which stand out. One Is that Government as administered by Mr. Bennett is 'becoming increasingly un- popular. That the people of Canada have lost confidence 'in the present Government and in the Premier's ability.to fulfill his many promises. 'A second is that people are turn- ing to the policy of the Liberal party as the only hope they see of bringing arder out of chaos and a return of good times. Arid a third is that the new C, C. F. party, led 'by Mr. Woodsworth and Miss Agnes 1VIacpheil'is a much over rated threat t•o the two party system of government, even in the Western Province where. it was born. • Considering the ecnistituency in which the C. C. F. chose to make their first appearance and the can- didate they had at their disposition, the result was a surprising if not an amazing revelation. • The constituency of Mackenzie, in Saskatchewan, has been •Ptogressive for over ten years, and if the C. C. F. party could not win there with a candidate possessing the ability and wide advertising that Judge Stubbs has received, their chances at the next general election would .not era' "year to be very bright, to -say the least. The result of the bye elections, .while they add three new Liberal members to the House of Commens, will net,.... however, embarrass great- ly, as far as -majority goes, the Ben- nett administration, as the Govern- nsent still possess a majority of twenty-nine seats over all others. If .the Government is not satisfied with the results of the elections held this week, and wish to get an opin- ion from the electors of Ontario, the opportunity of doing so is theirs at any time, as there is a vacancy in the constituency of South Oxford. to date, however, there .is no men- tion of a day being set or an Oxford bye elecfion, and it is just possible, considering present conditions and the prevailing. direction of the 'wind by which the straws are blown, that Mr. Bennett will be quite satisfied to let his majority rest at twent:y-nine. Adnocate Changes. Hands After being in the hands of the Davis family for nearly three quar- ters of a century. the Mitchell Advo- cate, one of the brightest of the On- tario weekly papers, has passed into new hands. " The new editor is Mr. Gordon V. Mounteer, a fanner publisher of the Trenton Courier -Advocate. The Advocate was founded in Mit- chell on April 7th, 1360, by the late W. R. Davis and his brother, the late J. E. Davis, and since 1893 has been owned and edited :by W. R. Davis, and his son, Mr. H. D. Davis, who has ably edited the paper alone for the' past eleven years. The weekly press of Ontario will sincerely regret the retirement of Editor "Hal" and his genial presence will be missed from among their number at the County, Provincial and Dominion gatherings, but at the same time it will extend a cordial welcome to the Advocate's new editor, Mr. Mounteer. The Snow Fall Was Earlp The snow fall of Tuesday seems to have been fairly general over the whole of Canada, and varied from an inch or two in some districts to a foot or more in others. It was not a record, however, the weather man says, as snow falls of equal depths have :been recorded much, • earlier in October and even in Sep- tember. 'Who tares about a record anyway? The snow on Tuesday was quite early enough to suit Mr. Average Citizen, and quite too early for the majority of PeoVe- To ,he sure, snow often serves a very Usefid purpose and ,Ifis its place in Canadian history; song and Apra, bast One an Irate too much of a 'good SEEING ENGLAND (Continued from page 1) Tuesday was a marvellous day from beginning to end. The tourna- ments for deck games began .with. mush gusto, with "the immortal five" entered in everything. At night we had a gala dinner to celebrate the Shed anniversary of the Cunard Line. Wasn't it obliging of them.? The dinner dance was a huge success with hats, horns, etc., not to mention the nsenti. Later on, there was such a good dance—the "eligibles" trip the light fantastic very well. The Old Man in the Moon is the best sport; he's been beaming in full force every night. Oh, the ship romances: Wednesday morning I had to bite the dust. Roxy polished me off in deck tennis and Bobbie Stuart left me gasping after shuffle -board. There couldn't be a better crowd of people —all so interesting and friendly. I think we'll be torced to watch our Jean. She seems to be geeing French on us. Yesterday was just like a day at the seashore, it was so warm and sunny, and mid-Atlantic at that. There wasn't a ripple on the water. In the evening we played "keno" un- til we lost forty cents (big stakes) and ' decided it was a nit -wit game. The" Captain took Roxy and me on for ping-pong. Hes the worst blarney I ever met. To -day, after lunch, he visited our cabin to see that we were all comfortable and happy. Wasn't that nice? A bad fog blew up early this morning and that wailing fog horn moaned and groaned from 5 a.m. until 6.30 with- out stopping for breath. There was a delightful tea dance this afternoon, while to -night is the ship concert. Three of us have to take the collection. I'll•be continuing this epistle when the big masquerade becomes a reality. Now it's time for me to pick up the thread again. We saw. Eddy- stone •Lighthouse this morning at 7.30 and sailed into Plymouth Har- bor about eight bells. It was so rough we had to go right in past the breakwater. After waving the fond farewell to my departing friends, ..I ran back to, bed, because that's a very early rising hour fosssone of rny deli- cate constitution. Besides, I had been up until 2.30 a.m. the night be- toresalooking for the Scilly Islands, Silly 'me! The masquerade was rather damp- ened by a hefty sea. so that few could make the grade for dinner. Our table donned the officers' jackets and. hats with white skirts, and did we have fun? Eating was a rather risky business, I must admit. I told. D. M— to put cocoa and cold cream on his face and he's never quite for- given me—he went as a sheik. The sea has folded his wings and gone to bed; right now I can -just distinguish the lights of the French ?oast_ " Probablgs we shall be at Havre about nine o'clock. A big thrill this afternoon! The, Ca'Ptain took the five of us and Mrs."'Wheat !es. on a tour of inspection to the briclge.• Crazy .Jean telephoned to. the man in the Crow's Nest and ask- ed. him how he was After fingering .he charts and poking our noses into the compasses, we decided the ship a as well run. One other day we went "down below"—miles down it -seemed on such steep little ladders. Oh, Min; what heat! I'm sure it was at least 150 degrees in the Shade! Havre was the most beautiful sight with its big revolving searchlights and the myriad of little \ .lights, stretching along to the Seine River, where you could see the lights., of Deanville. The babble of foreign tongues and the general hubbub of harbor excitement soon made us re- alize that a new country was reach- ed. Three cheers for Roxy, who em- erged -victorious in the deck tennis after quite 'a serious battle. It's packirig now, so that I'll be able to enjoy the trip up the Thames o -mor- row. I do want to see the chalk cliffs of Dover. As ever, MARION. A CONSTANCE The anniversary services held here on Sunday last and conducted by Rev. J. W. Button, of Goderich, were decided success. Scarcely, if ever, since the opening of the church, was there so large an audience assembled. The whole community turned out in full force to enjoy these services and to honor the presiding minister, who was a former Constance boy. Rev. Button delivered two sermons of beau- tiful spiritual truth, veritable master- pieces of thought, versed in the sim- plest language that even the children could appreciate it., this being the attitude that makes an influential speaker. In the 'evening the dis- course was directed to the younger class. We who knew him so well from childhood days, can easily say that his life is a shining example and should be an inspiration to all young •people. The community is doubly proud of him because he 'is a self-made man. Miss Ivy Simmons has accepted an invitation to assist in the services of song in First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth. ,MO.' and Mrs. Jack Buaby, of Chat - hard; spent a few days at the home of Mr. and, Mrs. Robert Lawson. Mr. Bill Dale of Toronto is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Dale. Mis Ferguson, teacher Of Bandon school, spent the week with her friend, Miss :Gawky, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

FARM NOTES Salt Costs Less in Ontario "Ontario farmers will likely use more salt in their farm operations, particularly in live stock •production in the future," Colonel Thomas L. Kennedy, Ontario Minister of Agri- culture, ,announcedi recently. "The salt companies have just announced a reduction in the cost of fine salt for fai'in purposes of about $1.57 per ton at the wells. This will narrow the discrepancy between the price salt is sold to packers and manufac- turers and that to farmers for stock, raising and other farm purposes." "Some time ago, at the request of the United Farmers' Co-operative Company, the Ontario Marketing Board made some,enquiries into the situation and urged on the salt com- panies that a larger turnover of salt on farms would prove. profitable to them provided a reduction in price was made to bring more in line the cost of salt to farmers and to pack- ers." "The reduction of approximate:IA.- 20 per cent. in the price of fine salt in bulk takes effect immediately. In view of the large volume of salt sold yearly to farmers this will mean quite considerable savings on this ac- count and doubtless will stimulate in- creased purchases of this article at the same time."
