Gerrnany alone remains and, as we have seen, British preponderance is overwhelm- ing. In her present financial condi- tion, Germany alone cannot hope, even with the help of. A.ustria, to rival (*eat Britain who is, by laying down new keels, increasing her strength over that• of Germany in the propor- tion of three to two. The British naval program is furthermore "aug- mented by presents of Dreadnoughts by New Zealand and Australia, Oa• nada will also bear her share in the burdens of Imperial naval defence. Cape Colony has already presented the Admiralty with a battleship and confederated South Africa will not be lacking in the performance of her duty. It, will thus be seen that Bri• tisk supremacy on the sea is firmly established. This is one of the best guarantees for the preservation of peace that the world could havo. 'Tis very nice to go to• school to learn to read and write, 'Tis nicer still to dress up fine and sport around at night, Your music, painting, poetry, may all be hard to beat, But tell me what yoq're going to do for something good to eat ? You say my boots are muddy, and my clothing is too coarse, I make a good' companion for the oxen or the horse, My face is red, my hand is hard, 'tis true, I will°'allow, But don't you be too quick to spurn the'man behind the plough. I like your great inventions, I'm glad you're getting smart ; I like to hear your music, for it kind of stirs my heart, But 'twill never touch the stomach of a real hungry man, Ana: so I call atttention to a kind of ' thing that can. Then, boys, don't be too anxious for to leave the good, old farm, Your father's strength is failing, soon he'll need your faithful arm, If you're honest in your purpose, at your feet the world must bow, For trip greatest of the great men is the man behind the plough. i Whitechurch Hardware Store ,News 1 An Edison- Combination Phonograph for $28.60- On July let, this newtype of machine called the " p'ireside " will be placed on the market.

Pure food pro- motes good health, and there is no better service Government can render than to increase the average health of -the people. • WOMAN SUFFRAGE. At the recent Women's Congress this question came to the front, and Lady Aberdeen (wife of (lanada's Gov- ernor-General) voiced her opinion on the question, as follows "It is a pretty safe prophecy that in a few .years suffrage will be granted to women in most countries having representative governments, Suffrage will put us in the position of being able to do our duty to the home, the community and the coun- try. Is it not time that we„as women should realize that we have a great and wonderful mission? We feel that as women we have a contribution to make to the life of the community, and we should want to fulfil it side by side with men, I ask you women workers for the welfare of humanity, is it not to our husbands, fathers, brothers and sons that we owe much of the inspiration for the work we are attempting. �I may claim to be in a peculiar position in that respect, but I fancy all you would claim the same. I know what it is to have a husband stand by me in all the efforts I have ever made for the welfare of humanity. But there are others who have to run counter to the ideas of those who are very dear to them. Men of chi- valry, often the most chivalrous, want to save us from soiling our hand) in the work of the world. The very best of men hold this view. Bnt we must show them that it is not the greatest kindness to us any more than to other human beings, to let us shirk our responsibilities. Perhaps their idea that we will soil our hands is because they have not too high an idea of politics. In our efforts to obtain the franchise, and when we do so, let us pray that it be given to us to raise the whole ideals of government. Also for the sake of the working women, on whom social legislation bears so hardly, we would not care that\the suffrage should be given only to women of property (applause), They to whom these things come so near, need the opportunity of express- ing themselves at the polls," Clinton, As high as: Gia a bushel has been paid for oats In Clinton recently, Fifty-seven pupils wrote on the Be - trance exaininations here last week ; 26 were from town, Last week Thomas Casey, aged 80 years, passed away at the Bonne of Refuge. His friends at Seaforth took charge of the body for burial. Friday last was Children's day and was celebrated by sports, etc. Re- freshments and lemonade were served, and the three town bands furnished music.. The many friends of Chas. M. Mc- Kinnon, of Athens, a former teacher le the Collegiate here, will be pleased to hear" that be has been appointed Principal of the High School at Kin- cardine. 11, E, Baines, of Ontario St. East, had new potatoes for dinner on Sun- day, June 20th, exactly the same date of taking up as last year, being June 20th. He also gathered ripe straw- berries the same day. On Sunday a resident of the Parr line, Stanley, attempted to .blow day- light through him, owing to becoming despondent. The bullet was extract- ed and the patient ie now in Clinton Hospital, on a fair way to recovery. On Tuesday evening about 30 young ladies of town held a sur prise party at the home of Mrs. J. Iltrland for their friend, Mies Ida Holmes, who leaves shortly to make her home in Toronto. The evening was spent in games and music. During the evening, Mrs. A. T. Cooper read an address and a beau- tiful piece of hand -painted china was presented to Miss Holmes. WANTED AT ONCE. -1000 cases of Eggs, 1000 boxes Butter, large quan- tities Wool,. Highest prices, cash or trade.-KING's, Wingham. -The population of the Prairie Pro- vinces of Canada -the Provinces lying between Ontario and the Rocky Moun- tains -is now estimated by the Census Bureau at 1,107,576. In 1901,.accord- ing to the census taken in that year, the population of the same region was 419,512, of which 255,211 was.,in Mani- toba. The population of the Western Provinces, outside of Manitoba, was therefore only 164,801. To -day Alber- ta alone has 273,112, and Saskatche- wan 349,645. These two Provinces were only established in 194)5, and their progress since that time has been equal to the most sanguine ex- pectations. -The luisiness outlook throughout Canada is hopeful, The Toronto News has this to say on this feature :- "Generally speaking, the financial outlook is satisfactory. Crop reports are fairly hopeful, and commercial payments good in most portions of the country. Money is so easy that while the banks are lending some of their funds at one and a half to two per cent., good industrial securities can be bought to yield six, or seven per cent. The spread is too large, and is regarded as indicating that the pub- lic has not yet regained its full confi- dence in the situation. There is the further fact that deposits continue to accumulate in the chartered banks. On the other hand, these same insti- tutions were called upon last month tib increase considerably their advan- ces to business houses on current ac- count. Thisbetokens increased com- mercial acti4ity." UNNECESSARY FEAR. (Montreal Daily Witness.) The most recent.,, review of the navies of the five greatest naval pow- ers, Great Britain, France, Germany, the United States and Japan, shows how unnecessary was the recent excite- ment in England over the probability of war between Great Britain and Germany. ,The five great powers above mentioned stand in the follow- ing order its regards their naval strength. The present actual warship tonnage of Great Britain available for instant servile is 1,669,005, while that of Germany* is, as near as can be ascer- tained, not more than 524,573. trance le rated second, and she le increasing her navy faster than Germany or the United States and will, by the end of this year, have a. rntich stronger nava than either of those powers, The United States le not included in the eount by the British Government, for by no possibility, it is believed, would t the Repatblio unite forced with any other power to attack Great Dritafo.
