That is why we are selling so much of the Genuine Frost Wire Fencing The wide awake farmer knows that it costs just as much to erect a fence with cheap wire as ii, does with good wire, and if the first heavy winter thttt comes breaks his cheap Wire all to pieces, it is going to be dear even if he gets it for notlhing.

Whitechurch --The value of the Oanadieu export held crops, of ps, . and anim ai products has increased from $81,710,- 202 in 1001 to $128,003,701 in 1008. The amount invested hi agriculture has, in the same time, increased from $1701,. 480,180 to $3,440,000,000. —The Montreal Gazette criticizes thus;—"The Government is asking Parliament for power to borrow an- other $50,000,000. It bas borrowed $75,000,000 within fifteen menthe. Laurier's work is piling up the nation- al interest Mille„ the taxpayers have to provide the money for, —Senators Lcu h B and eed, ell ow B Dandurand, in opposing the Ontario & Michigan power bill, took the solid ground that the Senate was establish- ed for the purpose of defending pro- vincial rights. If the Senate would defend provincial rights, instead of obstructing legislation to prevent ac- cidents at level crossings, it would stand higher in the public opinion. —This is the way that the Windsor Record views war:—"One way to help abolish war would be to give woman the franchise, However militant she may be in asserting her right to the ballot, her influence has been and al- ways will be on the side of peace. Ask the mother who says good-bye to her son as he departs for the wars and perhaps to leave his bones on the field. There are many such sorrowing moth- ers in Canada, and Windsor had more than one before the late cruel war in Africa was finished." —Very little is said just now of the progress of South African affairs. It is a fact however that the various British States there will soon become provinces, as they are all about to accept the amended'Act of Union. In a few weeks a delegation, including Gen. Botha, will start for England to ask the Imperial Parlament to enact the constitution of South Africa ; and it is confidently expected that when the next Imperial conference comes around in 1011 South Africa will take part in it as a national unit fit to be counted with Canada and Australia. The administration of the new dom- inion will be carried on in Pretoria and its laws will be passed in Oape Town. To Cape Town will come as members •of the _Assembly fifty-one representatives from Cape Colony, thirty-six from the Transvaal, and seventeen each from Natal and the Orange River Colony. Dutch and English will both be recognized as the official languages of the confederation. —(Guelph Herald, THE DECLINING BIRTH RATE, "The birth-rate hi the United States in the days of its Anglo-Saxon youth was one of the highest in the world," The the .Atlantic Monthly..ilio beet of authority traces the beginning of its decline to the" first appearance about 1850 of immigration on a large scale, Our great philosopher, Ben- jamin Franklin, estimated six chilthen to a normal American family f n his day, The average at the present time is slightly above two, For 1000 it is calculated thta there are only about three-fourths as many children to potential mothers in. America as there were forty years ago. Were the old rate of the middle century sustained, there would be fifteen thousand more births yearly in the State of Mas- sachusetts than film occur. In the course of a century the proportion of entire population consisting of chil- dren under the age of ten has fallen from one-third to one-quarter. Thie, for the whole United States, is equiva- lent to the loss of about seven million children. So alarming has this phenomenon of the falling birth-rate become in the Australian colonies that in New South Wales a special Governmental com- mission has voluminously reported up- on the subject, It is estimated that there bas been a decline of about one- third in the fruitfulness of the people. in fifteen years. New Zealand even complains of the lack of children to fill her schools, The facts concern- ing the stagnation, nay, even the retrogression, of the population of France are too well known to need de- scription. ONE BAD MISTAKE Is Frequently Made by the Wisest of Wingham People. It's a serious mistake to neglect backache, Backache is the first symptom of kidney ills. Fatal com- plications may follow. Booth's Kid- ney Pills act quickly to overcome kidney ills, do not delay until too late, it may mean Diabetes, Brights Disease. Read what a Wingham resident says. T. Dewitt Holmes of Victoria Ave., Wingh`am, Ont„ says: "I had felt miserable for some time with lumbago. It had settled across the small part of my back and in the region of the kidneys, I could not stoop over at times and when I would sit for any length of time I could scarcely get up. The urine plainly told the disordered state of the kidneys, and although I had tried several kidney remedies I could find nothing to give the desired results until on recommend of our druggist, Mr.147cKibbon I used Booth's Kidney Pills. The one box cured me quickly and entirely. The lumbago soon went out of my back and there has not been a sign of it since, Booth's Kidney Pills are certainly a grand remedy and I feel grateful in recom- mending them." Sold by Dealers.

There were fifteen in the race. The first prize was a $100 silver cup and a gold watch. —Thos. Smith, the oldest person in Ontario, if not in the Dominion, is dead at his home in Burgess, Lanark county. at the remarkable age of 106 years. Up to the very end of his life he was in possession of all his facul- ties. Until two weeks ago he was in the enjoyment of excellent health, and last fall he chopped wood and did a great deal of other work about the farm. -- 54 Suits To Be Cleared At Sacrifice Prices 1 No Two Suits of Same Pattern Having purchased a traveller's set of samples at a big discount, we're prepared to give you remarkable .values.
