The chief statistician says :—"Indications are for great crops. For eight years the American farmer has enjoyed un- precedehted prosperity, and now the ninth promising harvest is practically assured. Never have there been nine such years, years of big yields and high prices. • * * —By the new Saskatchewan license law, bar rooms must close daily at 10 o'clock p.m., and on public holidays must be closed all day ; club licenses are not allowed, and a majority may carry and put into force a local option by-law. Saskatchewan has the new- est and in some ways the most varie- gated population in Canada. It is fairly near the head of the procession in restricting the licensed victuallers' opportunities for making profit. —Many Liberal papers are noting changesnecessary, if their party is to regain lost prestige. The Post Hope Guide, a strong . Liberal paper, has this to say :—"There must be a reor- ganization, and, first and forem6st, it will be .absolutely necessary to learn that our leaders cannot allow mea- sures to pass unopposed in our legisla- ture, and then mount the political rostrum or through some sermonettes, denounce them in ringing terms, and thus try to draw a red herring 'across the trail. Such miserable tactics are bound to fall. They are too thin." This, from a Liberal paper, is a severe criticism of A. G. MacKay. Crops And Business, In 1000 Ontario's crop was worth $250,000,000. Ti 1007 Ontario farmers lost $80,000,000 on their crops, This year, if the crops aro good, Ontario's crop will wipe out last year's loss and allow the farmers to put something in the bank, In 1007, with an increase of 300,091 acres nndercultivation, harvests were Ontario so.`t poori � thr+,t the net decrease in bushels was 36,825,470, If the harvest averages as good as 1000 on the present acreage tilled, the increase over 1007 will be 55,000,000 if the d bushels ancropsare as valtt- able only as the crops of 1000, at least they will be worth $250,000,000. 1 coni present indications. the value will be even greater.• Good crops in Ontario for 1008 mean an increase over 1007 of 55,000,000 bushels of grain. Good crops mean all increase of 1,585,524 tons of hay. Gond crops mean an increase of over $80,000,000 for grain and° $20,000,000 for hay. Bankers are in touch with flnapeial conditions, hence their opinion is of value. Sir George Drummond, Pre- sident of the Barik of Montreal, regards the outlook for business throughout the country very hopeful- ly. He does not expect to see an immediate.and complete recovery of the activity of two years ago, but lie considers that with good crops and favorable conditions, there is little doubt of at steady improvement and return to prosperous conditions. "What Canada needs," said Byron E. Walker, president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, in an interview last week, "is a year of good crops, and a year of economy. Good crops alone will not do, as Canadians have been living ahead of their means, and have not yet received a sufficient pun- ishment in hardship to realize that. The arrival of a good crop in Canada may have the effect of inducing people to go on cutting the same wide swath of overexpenditure, and the same re- sult of hard times and depression will follow. The natural result of another good crop in Canada will be that money will be easier. Municipalities will be able to sell their bonds. Then they will plunge again into expendi- tures for improvements, which will not be justified, for the country needs caution as well as crop." * * —At present, there is little or no sign of the .prorogation of the Domin- ion Parliament. The more optimistic put it down for on or about July 15, while there are others who are willing to state openly that August will find the House• grinding away at legisla- tion which 'should have been intro' duced months ago. That there is a general feeling of unrest on the Gov- ernment side at the protracted session cannot be denied. With the seventh month well under way, and with the knowledge that if they stayed until Christmas all they will receive for their service§ is $2,500, there is on all sides a desire to get through and home. , * * —The Windsor Record is a Liberal newspaper, but it frequently criticizes the Dominion Government's expendi- ture. On the Bounty qnestion, the Record voices public opinion, when .it says :—"It is now proposed to extend for another five years the payment of 75 cents a ton to the lead industry, an "infant" that although well up in its teens keeps its mouth glued to.,the nursing bottle.So with the iron and steel industry, a bantling 25 years old, which started with a sop of $1.50 a ton on pig iron. Now the infant re- ceives $2.10 a ton and $6 a ton on goods made from the raw material. The farmer who sells his products in the open market or at prices fixed by combines may well think that the Ot- tawa Administration have gone bounty crazy. Unless the Govern- ment takes in a reef in their canvas, they may have to reckon with a ser- ious lapse in the agricultural vote at next election. Special privilege has had the call long enough at Ottawa." * —Opinions differ widely as to whe- ther or not there will be a Dominion election this year. Before the Ontario and Quebec elections, it was admitted freely on the Liberal side in Ottawa, that if 'Whitney's Inajority was sub- stantially reduced, and Quebec show- ed no signs of a turn, Sir Wilfrid Laurier would wind up the session quickly, make a whirlwind tour of East and West, and then take the plunge. But it is said, that the re- sults of June 8th, have put another face on the matter. With a huge Conservative majority in Ontario, and a substantial increase in the Op- position forces at Quebec, Liberals frankly adniit that it would be folly to go to the eountry with the tide roll - in g for the Conservative art Com. party. ing on top of New Brunswick, Oat. ario and Quebec have wiped out the idea of a federal appeal to the 'people this year. At least such is the view taken by many of the leading mem- bers of kite douse. It is, however, a question as to which is best, for to wait another year might lessen the oildkiees of stlea:essl, Very Strong Language. The Expenditure Record. "1 promise you that if you put our party into power, we will re- duce the annual expenditure by $2,000,000 or ,ii3,000,000 per an- fllttlt,., The above is what Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier said in 1800, Sir Richard Cart- wright went further. The Conserva- tive Government, then in power, ex- pendedand i' a•cl n 38 000 000Sir R c 1 $ , h. P . , declared as follows ; "I say it is a disgrace and a shame to the Government, that they ask for an expenditure of $38,000,000 a year for Federal purposes, The thing is utterly unjustifiable." In 1805.0, the Conservative'Govern- ment's total expenditure was $41,702,- 333. The Liberals then camp into power, and in eleven years have in- creased the expenditure From $41,702,383 To 110,500,000 Mr. Fyshe, one of the commission- ers appointed by the Laurier Govern- ment, uses setae very strong language regarding the management of the Marine department, which he has characterized as "damnable, outrage- ous and rotten." It will be remembered that three Commissioners were appointed to in- vestigate the Marine department, and their report startled the country. Further investigation was demanded, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier appointed judge Cassels to look into the charges. Last week, at the invbstigation, Colonel Gourdeau, when being exam- ined said in reference to supplies pur- chased by the Marine department, that the country lost the difference between 'wholesale and retail prices. "How much would this amount to dollars and cents in the last three years?" Commissioner Cassels asked. "About $200,000," Col. Gourdeau said. "Then," said' Jndge Cassels, "this $200,000 was money spent to secure the fidelity of the faithful?" "It is a matter of policy," said Gourdeau. "A matter of election. policy," said ,Judge Cassels. This is only one of the very many leaks, and helps to explain why the expenditure of this Dominion has in- creased, until it has reached the enor- mous sunt of over one hundred million dollars. The Toronto News, very aptly re- marks "As a 'revelation of the loose busi- ness methods in vogue at Ottawa the Auditor -General's evidence before Mr. Justice Cassels is startling. That offs= cial's lack of faith in the certificates of expenditures sent in by officers of the Marine Department, the fact that one of them was compelled to refund sev- eral hundred dollars entered as "tra- velling expenses," the over -payment of our old friend Merwin, and the statement that the country has paid $150,000 for fog signals worth $25,000 are sufficient to make the country do some serious thinking. Surely we have fallen into evil hands, and upon evil days." • Do You Eat Right ? Pew People in Wingham Really Know How. Slow eating and regular meals is °of great benefit to a wrong acting stom- ach, Those who suffer with indiges- tion and weak stomach can with care and the use• of Mi -on -a stomach tablets restore the digestion to a healthy con- dition, so that they can eat what they want at any time without fear of dis- tress or suffering, After a few day's use of Mi -on -a t stomach tablets, the headaches, dizzy feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the month, coated tongue, flatulence, sleeplessness, distress after eating - all these symptons of a weak stomach — -wllldt disappear, andp a p e r erfect digestion an tin health ill be restored, J Walton McRibbon has so tench confidence in the power of MI•on-a to cure •indigestion that he guarantees eetttefa ltion or money back. Price 50 dente, This was an increase of $68,797,017, or 163 per cent. In other words, the expenditftre per head of our population in 1396 was $8.14 ; it is now $18.00. In 1908, the. expenditure for every family in Can- ada was $88,40.._ Compare this with the promises given as above in 1896. West Wawanosh.

Have Von Weak Lungs ? Do You hear Consumption ? •'When we take into consideration the fact that one out of every seven in this climate die of consumption, is it any wonder that it is feared by the people of Wingham who have weak lungs and chronic colds and coughs ? "A famous London physician has for years urged his patients, when the slightest tendency to consumption ap- peared, to take all the cod liver oil possible into their systems, and phy- sicians everywhere have recognized its value for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption and all wasting diseases, but unfortunately, few could take it and derive the full benefit from its use, on account of indigestible grease which it contained. "We want every person in Wing - ham to know the value of our new cod liver oil preparation Vinol. It actually contains in a concentrated form all of the medicinal body-build- ing elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers, without a drop of oil or grease to upset the stomach and retard its work. "Therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod Hier oil or emulsions will do good, Vinol will do far more good. We guarantee Vinol will improve the appetite, strengthen, cure chronic coughs and colds and strengthen weak lungs. "If Vinol fails to give satisfaction to our customers, we return money with- out question." J. Walton McKibbon, Wingham, Ont. RTHUR J. IRWIN D.D.S., L,D.S.
