farmers and city people suffered alike.

Why not let Mr. Rainy At for "Rainy"

Premier Drury is reported to have vol-
untarily reduced his salary as Premier
from $12,000 to $9,000. ].Ie couldn't do
better than to give the Turnberry Agri-
cultural Society that $3,000 toerect new
buildings. Who'll go down to Toronto
and ask for it?

Premier Drury snaps his. finger at the

"grows his own butter and eggs."

What is a loss of $3,000. to Premier
Drury when he can g.t fresh eggs and but-
er shipped directs w w front his farm?
A garage man was shocked by the den•
that's bill. If ever the dentist's car gets
out of order it will be a case of confusion
worse confounded.

Nelson Parliament, Liberal M. P. P. for
Prince Edward has been selected by the
Drury Governmenr for election as' speak.

tion giver the Government another seat
and the liberals one less, No wonder
Heartley 'Do Ard" is sore.

Premier Drury no doubt means well,
but we cannot help feeling that if he
were "right wise" he would have tried liv-
ing in Toronto for a year before voluntar-
ily reducing his own salary,.

The Farmer's Sun spreads across
seven columns the proclamation that
" Produce is high because of the low
Purchasing power of the Dollar." That's
startling discovery. All you have • o do
is to account for the low purchasing
power of thedollar by blaming it on the
high cost of produce, and there you are—
you have the explanation for everything.

Made Oretlard Piy
A Carrick farmer, who bought a farm
ten years ago on which grew a rather neg.
lreted old orchard, Set to work to look
after the trees and cultivate the orchard.
From a practically useless orchard of ten
years ago, he had the satisfaction of sell-
ing $303.04 worth of apples, this year
There were thirty-six trees in all, Malting
an average yield of over $10 per tree,
This la an indication of what can be done
by properly caring for the orchard.
What Is the Label for?
In the drat place it is to help the Portal
service to deliver the paper tothe right
party. y. In the next place it informs sub.
scriber as to how this subscription statids,
whether paid in advance or in arrears
It's a receipt for money paid, or a remind-
er of money that should be paid. Look
at your label and see how you stand with
the publisher. The month indicates that
you are paid tib the end of that month,
unless otherwise indicated, The figures
after the month indicate the year to which.
the subscription is paid, 1918, 1919, 1920
mostly indicated by 18, 19, 20, as the case
may be.
What About Next Year's Council?
In less than a month the nominations
will be held and we believe it would be in
the best interests of the town if the rate-
payers would decide on a number of men
who would ably fill the positionof coupe
cillor or school trustee and not leave the
nominating to a paltry few office -seekers,
Winghant should not allow another coun-
cil to go in by acclamation. What we
want to see most would be a slate of a
dozen or so good men and thus give the
electors some timber to choose from. See
your candidate and get him to consent to
stand. Honorary nominations are no
good.
Money well Spent
In these days of expensive living the
question with most people is to get the
best value for one's money, Inthe
case of newspapers or magazines there
can be no doubt about the Family
Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal
giving the greatest value for the money en
the continent. The Family Herald and
Weekly Star is a wonderful combination
Df newspaper, magazine and agrciultural
paper, It costs only $1,25 a year and
each subscriber receives a handsome
souvenir portrait of the Prince of Wales,
16x22 inches. We learn the subscription
price will be $1 50 after December 31st
No better value can be had than a year's
trial of the big Montreal Weekly.' It con-
sists of 64 pages each week and every
page interesting and instructive.
Memorial Cross for Heroes
The Canadian government has:; decided
to present to the wives and mothers of
Canadian .soldiers and sailors who died in
the great war,- a handsome memorial cross.
If the sailor or soldier whose sacrifice it is
intended to commemorate was unmarried,
the cross will be issued to his mother. If
he was married k will be issued to his
widow. If a mother, or widow having
become entitled to the cross has subse-
quently died, it will be issued to the eldest
of her next of kin. The expression "Can-
adian sailors and soldiers" includes not
only members of the Canadian naval
or military forces,but also any person,
male or femyle, who having been ordin-
arily resident in Canada on the fourth of
August, 1914, served in the naval or mill-
tary forces of his ' majesty or any of his
allies.

The late Miss Webster came down from
Lucknow lastyear to see her sister, the

most robust health before, since that ac-
cident she had been failing and during
several months past she had been confined

mother, Mrs. James Webster, two broth-
ers, Robert and James of Lucknow, and

Nino Years At Kingston
Judge Dickson in passing sentence on
I3lansha rd 'Williams, who was on trial for
committing an outrageous offence against
his daughter, sixteenyears of age, address•
ed the prisoner at some length, saying
that his first intention was to give the
maximun punishment of fourteen years,
but upon counsel for the prisonerdescrib-
ing the enviroment of Williams in his
early life he,had changed his mind some-
what. He felt that he should sentence
the prisoner to a term that would allow
his youngest child to grow old enough to
protect herself before Williams would be
around to have any influence over her
He said that the Children's Aid Society
was taking care of the children under the
age of sixteen years and that some pro-
vision would have to be made for the
daughter he had ruined for life. "The
sentence will be nine years in Kingston
Penitentiary where you will have a chance
to learn an honest trade and repent the
awful crime which you have committed,"
said the judge.
Public Shed At Lucknow
A public meeting was held in the hall to
hear the report of the committee appoint-
ed to get facts regarding a suitable site for
the shed that is going td be erected for
accommodation. There was a splendid
attendance. Mr. Geo. Smith read the re-
port of the committee, which recommend-
ed the purchase of a piece of land owned
by Mr, A. Millson, on Rose street.
There is room on this lot for a building
55x170 feet. A shed on concretewail, sand
floor and metal roof is what has been pro-
posed, and would cost in the neighbor-
hood of $6.000.
It is suggested that to finance this pro-
position a canvass be made of the town
and the surrounding country, also that
the town contribute $1,000.
A motion passed instructing the com-
mittee to still act, and to appoint can-
vassers to call on town and country re-
sidents to see if the needed amount of
money can be raised in that way.
