The Quebec Election
Premier Taschereau's Liberal Gov-
ernment was, returned to power in
Quebec on Monday, in the closest
election in the history of the Pro-
vince.
In fact the Government barely sur-
vived, its majority of 66 in the last
Legislature being reduced to six, and
there is even a possibility that re-
,gounts may further'reduce that small
margin.
The Liberals have been in power. in
Quebec since 1897, and never in the
history of their 38 years of rule, has
their majority dropped below 44,
which it was in 1923, when the. Con-
servative party captured 20 of . the
85 seats.
In this election, however, the Con-
servatives only took 16 seats, the
chief opposition coming from the
Action Liberale Nationale party,
which took 26 seats from the Gov-
ernment.
The leader and also creator of this
new party is Mr. Paul Gouin, son of
S i r Lomer Gouin, whom M r.
Taschereau succeeded as Liberal
Premier in 1920.
It is quite evident, therefore, that
whatever the finalresult may . be,
whether Mr. Taschereau remains in
power, or whether Mr. Gouin suc-
ceeds him with the help of the Con-
servatives and Independents, the
Government of Quebec will still re-
main a Liberal government, as there
was no political issue between Mr.
Taschereau and Mr. Gouin. Just
something in the nature of a personal
grudge, or thwarted ambition on the
part of the young leader of the Lib-
erale Nationale party.
e
Municipal Elections
It has been repeatedly said and
claimed that no government can sur-
vive a depression. That at the first
opportunity the electors get, they
turn it down.
Well, all that we can say is, that
either there is no truth in that state-
ment, or there is no depression on the
farm..
And we base that assertion on the
fact that out of the eight municipali-
ties in Huron County, who held their.
nominations on Friday last, six coun-
cils were returned by acclamation.
Either those • six municipalities
have been exceptionally well and ab-
ly governed, or, their ratepayers
must have been too busy making
money to pay any attention or care
anything about municipal govern-
ment, which means, among other
things, the tax rate.
And the reason we incline towards
the first is because having been born
and lived a life time within forty
rods of a farm, we now it could
not have been the later reason.
At, least, that was not the reason
last year, nor the year before, nor
the year before that, either.
It is, therefore, only fair to give
credit, where credit is due. To as-
sume that these six municipal coun-
cils that have been re-elected by ac-
clamation are all composed of public
spirited citizens, who are carrying on
municipal government as it should
be carried on, and to assume too, that
their ratepayers recognize a good
job when it is done, and have sense
enough to encourage their officials
in the doing of it.
How the other twenty-one coun-
cils in the county will fare when they
come before their electors the end of
next month, when the general nom-
inations will be held, no one, of
c'ourse can predict with accurracy.
Edit if We are totake the early elec-
as a. criterion, there would not
ear to be a great deal of interest
elections this year,

It is A Pact
Four weeks from last Wednesday
will be Christmas Day. Of course
you don't believe it, and of course w4.
don't ask you to take our word for
it. But just look up the calendar
and see if that is not a fact.
We know how hard it is to believe,
and we know the weather we are
having and have been having all fall,
makes it even harder. But whether
you believe it or not, three weeks
from next Wednesday will be Christ-
mas Day.
Are you ready? Or are you get-
ting ready for Christmas? Whether
your preparations are great or small
everyone makes some preparation
for that great day. Why not start
to make them now.
Why wait until the last few days
and wear yourself out in a mad rush
that only ends in disappointment.
Disappointment to yourself, or your
family or your friends.
Even now, there is none too much
time. Why not start your Christ-
mas preparations and your Christ-
mas buying When the field of selec-
tion is large and new?
The stores are ready and eager to
serve you, and they have the time
now to give you real service. It may
he different later.
And when you . plan t� buy, plan to
buy in your own stores. Given time,
they will furnish you with anything
that the city stores will furnish—the
same duality, the same price, or a lit-
tle better in both cases.
And, when you buy at home the
money stays at home. Some time,
sooner or -later, it will come back to
you in some other form. When you
send your money away, it stays
away.
Get busy.. Don't say that we didn't
warn you that Christmas Day was
only three weeks from next Wednes-
day. It is a fact.

Two Noted Canadians Pass On
Two noted Canadians, one in the
field of law and politics, and the
other in farming and stock raising,
passed from this life on Sunday.
One was Senator Charles Murphy,
a member of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
Cabinet, as Secretary of State from
1908 to 1911, and also a member of
Mr. King's Cabinet, as Postmaster
General from 1921 to 1925, when he
was appointed to the Senate.
Senator Murphy, who was in his
72nd year, was of Irish descent on
both sides; a devout Roman Catholic
and for twenty-five years or more an
outstanding member of the Liberal
party and a recognized Canadian
statesman.
The other was Mr. Robert Miller,
of Stouffville, who with his wife, met
a tragic death at a level crossing at
Langside on Sunday morning, when'
their car was struck by a C.N.R.
freight. train.
Mr. Miller was born in Scotland 71
years ago, coming to Canada with
his parents as a youth. He was in-
ternationally known as a farmer and
stock breeder, and in recent years
had concentrated on the breeding of
Shorthorn cattle.
In 1902 he received a certificate of
hon.Oary life membership in the
Live Stock Association of Mexico,
signed by President Diaz, as 'the
greatest exporter of pure bred an-
imals to the Mexican Republic at
that time.
Mr. Miller was the first farmer to
be chosen President of the Canadian
National Exhibition, a position he
held in 1920.
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
Important To Farmers
(Stratford Beacon Herald)
Decision was given in a ease at Hamilton
which is of importance to farmers In particular.
It hod to-do with a claim for $1,810 against the
Salt.fleet and Binlbrobk Mutual Company for a
barn which had .been burned. 'Samuel J. Smith,
a farmer bf North Grimsby township. had paid
premiums for 54 years on 'his policy, but a srpe-
cial assessment had been made and this had not
been paid. it was explained that Mr. Smith was
either ill or absent atthe time of the assessment
and had subsequently ,paid it, but the ruling of
court was that his policy was void because the
assessment had not been paid on time.
No doubt Mr. Smith feels that the outcome is
a hard one for him after having paid premiuims
for so great a length of time, but the result is
trhere and it is ,plains—unless all payments for
insurance of that nature are made then the per-
son whose property is insured has no claims
against the company.
Mr. Justice Jeffrey announced that he would
,gyve written judgment in the case on account of
its importance. Meanwhile farmers -Whro have
insurance policies, would be advised to protect
themselves by marking certain that all demands
of Companies are paid .in full and on time. In

DID YOU EVER KNOW
' NI)VENMPR 29,
Did you ever know that racing pig-
eons have ,More individuality than a
race horse, a longer pedigree than a
prize-winning dog, as much heart as
a prize -fighting champion? A good
homing pigeon will never admit de-
feat while it has strength to fly, and
on a good day it races at mare than
a mile an minute, says a writer in
Maclean's .:lhagazine. Which perhaps;
helps to explain why pigeon racing
is developing into a ,popular sport,
with thousands of birds racing every
Saturday throughout the summer.
The (birds are trained for racing,
but how they "home" over hundreds
of miles remains a mystery. At about
hour months of age a pigeon is ready
for his first "toss," which necessitates
his flying hone for about a mile. Lat-
er he does five miles, then 10, 20 and
50. He is then ready for the races,
which take him in juntips of 50 to 300
miles. As a yearling he is ready for
500 miles. A racing pigeon fights
odds at every turn—weather, hawks,
gun's—'yet great feats have .been ac-
eorfiplished. One bird has flown the
500 -mile race eix years an succession.
A fancier may enter up to 15 birds
in an ordinary .race: Hie takes them
to the club hawse where the racing
committee slips a rubber racing ring
bearing a number known only to it -
,self on the leg of each pigeon.
Fach pannier of birds is offreially
sealed and •eon'veyed to the race point
where .they are released simiultaneous-
ly.
If the race point is 60 miles away,
the fancier begins to look for his
birds about an hour after liberation.
He sees a speck on the horizon. It
grows bigger, and soon the feathered
apeed fiend doubles itself into a ball
arid drops like a stone to the loft.
The owner takes the raoe ring off and
puts it into an automatic timing ma-
chine which records the split second
at which the ring is placed in it, and
the velocity of the bird is thus esti-
teeted.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
• (By Isabel A,>;mi)t ton, Goderich, Ont.)
Great God; we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year Thy mercy shows,
That mercy crowns. it 'till it close.
By day, by night, at home. abroad,
Still are we guarded by our God,
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
With grateful hearts the past we own,
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet.

S. S. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 1st
Lesson Topic—Ezra's Mission to Jer-
usalem.
Lesson Passage—Ezra 7:6-10; 8:21-
23, 31, 32.
Golden Text—Ezra 8:22.
I•Iaggai and Zechariah had finish-
ed their work before Ezra comes on
the, scene. His fine character is por-
trayed in this lesson and it is seen
now when certain useful servants are
removed God raises up other in their
room. Ezra and Nehemiah were as
serviceable in their day as the other
two were in theirs.
Ezra was a man of great learning
—a scribe, "a ready„scribe in the Iaw
of Moses,” is how he is characterized
in verse 6. In the days of the cap-
tivity learning had fallen to a low
ebb amiong the• Jews. but Ezra was
instrumental in reviving it. The Jews
say that Ezra collected all the copies
of the law he could find, and pub-
lished an accurate edition of it with
all the prce4e.tical books, historical
and poetical, that were given by div-
ine inspiration. If he was raised up
of God, and qualified and inclined to
do this, all generations have reason
to' -call him 'blessed and to bless God
for him. God sent to the Jews pro-
phets and scribes. St. Matthew says,
23.34. Ezra came under the latter
name. Prophecy was about to cease,
o the time had come for .Scriptural
knowledge to be promoted by "scribes
instructed unto the kindom of heav-
en, bringing forth' out of his trea-
sure things new and old" (Matthew
13:52). Such was Ezra, a man of
great piety and 'holy zeal. "He had
prepared his heart to seek the law
of the Lard, and to do it, and to
teach in Israel statutes and judg-
ments,"
The Chaldean's, among whom he
was born and bred. were famed for
literature, especially the study of the
stars. If Ezra, being inclined to
study, had been tempted to apply
himself to such, he overcame, rising
to that which was more worthy of
his endeavors than all the learning
of his day. He set himself to ac-
quire knowledge of th'e law of the
Lord and as he learned he began to
prac'tis'e and afterwards to teach. His
method was the 'best of all metheds.
He first did, then taught, and his life
bore but his doctrine•. Moses in
Egypt, Ezra in Babylon, and 'both in
captivity, were wonderfully fitted for
eminent service. He went up from
Babylon to Jerusalem. Why had he
stayed so long behind in the land of
captivity? We read in the account
of the proclamiatelon of Cyrus that
'only such went -whose spirit'Ood in-
fluenced to go up. God did niot send
Ezra until he had work for him to
do /wee fox which he had been in
preparation. He was enjoying the
favor of the king, who made a fine
contribution 'bo ithie expedition set-
ting out tor return to Judea. "The
king granted him all 'his request, ac-
cording to the 'hared of the Lord his
God upon him." Ezra laid his inten-
tions before the 'king, as, we see in
chapter 8:2143, and tirade Iernoss-n 'fib
hien his etolntp1ete dependetite ran his
God ,ins tide ; grealt }ti:nderizi diig, let,
'Ing the favor he enjoyed, no doubt,
if Ezra had asked, the king would
have sent a band'of soldiers and
horsemen to escort them through the
enemy's country. Ezra believed in
his heart that God's servants have
His p'orwer engaged for them and His
enemies have it engaged against
them and, having so confessed to the
'king, be made .public confession along
with the people he was leading out
of Babylon hack to the land of their
fathers. He proclaimed a fast and
then in prayer coneniitted their wel-
fare to Divine guidance. They
were strangers on the road, were
marching through their enemies'
countries, and had not a pillar of
cloud and fire 'to lead them as their
fathers had; but they believed that
the power and favor of. God, and the
ministrations of his angels, would be
to then/ instead of that, and so, in
prayer. they besought His protection
and guidance. In verse 31 is reoord-
ed their departure from the place
where they had fasted and prayer and
received the assurance that "'the hand
of our God was upon us, and He de-
livered us from the hand of the en-
emy, and of such as lay in wait by
the way." They were brought in
safety to their journey's end. Let
then that have steadfastly set then
faces toward the New Jerusalem pro-
ceed and persevere to the end, "till
they, appear before God in Zion," and
they shall find that He who has be-
gun the, good work will perform it.
"Being confident of this very thing,,
that he which hath begun a ;good
work in you will perform it until the
day of Jesus Christ." -,Phil. 1:6.

WORLD MISSIONS
The Conquering Book (Continued)
When the Storm Broke
They h'ad, scarcely finished when
the storm 'br olre. "Issue a command
in. ivy name," said the Queen, "that
Christian. prayer and worship must
cease and all Bibles must be given
up on pain of death. I swear by all
that }s sacred in 'th•is land and in
the heavens above that if any shall
keep back so much as •a single page
he shall surely die."
Some, terrified by the command,
gave up their hooks; but many refus-
ed. Some buried them in the rice -
pits un'desneatlr the floor or .in the
thatch of their roofs, •Some took
their Bibles to pieces, 'page by page,
and hid the separate parts in dif-
ferent places. One complete Bible
was hidden (between two stone slabs
in the depth of a great cave used as
a smallpox retreat. People wnho had
portions hidden learnt then by heart
or met at dead of night to read them
together.
,For twenty-five years the persecu-
tion continued. Christiane were

jump a fence. A large buck nearly
broke its neck as it crashed into a
fence while fleeing from the head-
lights of a police car in Ashfield'Tp.,
and a smaller deer was seen in Col-
borne Township about the same time,
