SMITH, Ilditor and Prop, The An)vAN('kl iii being most severely critized by a few of the freinis of the citizen's Liberty League. because of the stand we have taken in refusing to adver- tise for that fraternity. That is possibly one of our failings, when an election fight is on we will not join the Ancient Order of mugwumps and be found on the fence afraid to come down either side. We hope we will always have courage enough to state our views on prohibition or any other public issue. * * s Growing Stronger. The conservative candidate in North Huron is a winner. Every day adds to his strength, and it only requires a "united effort to send a gentleman of whom all classes can be proud to represent them in the Legislature. * * * A. Question. One question that the electors of this riding have to seriously ask themselves is this: Is there any good reason why the Hearst government, which has given the province able government during the past five years and hasn't a sin to answerfor should be turned out to select a supporter of Dewat•t or a member of the U. F. O., neither of whom will be in a position to do anything for North Huron. CARRIES ON WUITNEY POLICY Brother Of Grand Old Man Of Ontario Endorses Government. E. C. Whitney, ofOttawa, brother of the late Sir. James Whitney, and the man . on which Sir James relied for advice and guidance throughout his career, and whose powerful support of public integrity was one of the most important factors in the success of the Whitney Administration, has addressed the, following letter ir William Hearst. "I notice that a general election is about to take place in Ontario, and I want to say a word of encouragement to you in " that connection. As far as my knowledge goes you are carrying on the government with the same regard for the public inter- est and in the honest way that I know my brother did: 1 was conversant with all the important 'measures undertaken by him, and.I knew well all the men he took into his.confidence, or I could not make the above statement. It is very import- ant that honest methods of government should be continued and the people's inter- est closely looked after. So I wish you success in the coming elections, and I be- lieve the verdict of the people will be fav- orable to you. As for prohibition, I was not originally a prohibitionist, but since the law has been in force I have seen that it is a bene- fit to the human race. I also know from then I met from all parts of Canada and the United States that prohibition is proving a great advantage to both coun- tries. Last week I met a gentleman who travels all over the Dominion, and al- though at first an opponent of prohibition he states that the decrease in drunkenness has satisfied him that it is a wise and a necessary law. You were, in my judge- ment justified in adopting this measure as a war policy and if the people vote to sus- tain it permanently I believe they will make no mistake. MV GARDEN OF 1919. (The following essay, written by Winni- fred Farrier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs" W. R. Farrier of near St, Helens, won the first prize at the Lucknow Fair. Gardening is a profitable as well as pleasant occupation. I am always delighted when spring time comes with the expectation of having a good garden. 1 planted my garden about the middle of May, rather later than usual, owing to so much rain the ground waunfit for cultivation, for if the ground is worked when it is wet in the spring, it is likely to bake and be hard all summer. Shortly after the seeds were sown they were up nicely and next came the weeds which kept me very busy in the evenings after school. The weather was very dry in the first part of the season which check, ed the growth of the young plants con. siderable. The onions suffered the most; they were almost a failure. I watered quite often with the sprinkling can, which, no doubt, repaid me well for my trouble, and I will have a few to store away for winter con- sumption. Later on in the season I thinned the vegetables and hoed about them, and it was not long until the lettuce and butter beans were ready to use, and many a good dinner we enjoyed from them. One thing Is noticed the more I hoed them the better they grew, so as a rule the more the ground is cultivated the more moisture remains. Some vegetables, such as cucumbers and tomatoes„ I cov- ered some nights to avoid frost nipping and we had abundance of them. The beets, carrots, parsnips and cabbage will need to be lifted about the last of October and put away for the winter. And now, in closing, I will just say I have been looking forward all summer to the showing of some of my vegetables at the Fair for which to receive some red tickets.
