Press Association's Outing to Georgian Bay. On Thursday morning, June 22nd, after the two days' meeting of the Canadian Press Association at. Toronto, a party of some two hundred and fifty persons, composed of members of the Association and their wives, took ,pos- session of a long G. T. R. special train in readiness for the trip to Penetangui- shene. Through the smiling farm lands they sped until the sparkling wat- ers of Georgian Bay were seen, and a short walk from the wharf brought the party to the Penetanguishene hotel, beautifully decorated with Union Jacks. The large company sang a verse of the national anthem and "Rule Britannia" before doing justice to the excellent luncheon provided by the mayor and town. A short speech of welcome was given by Mayor Jennings, to which C. W. Young, president of the C.P.A., replied in charming terms, referring to the in- tensely historical character of the pret- ty town, and the story which has been. stirringly set forth by the chroniclers of the martyred Jesuits, who gave their lives for the cause of their relig- ion. Penetanguishene signifies "The Place of the White Rolling Sands," so nam- ed from an extensive bank of sand on Pinery Point to the right on entering the harbor, which glistens like gold in the summer's sun and which, like the sand dunes of Ontario, is ever shifting, changing, rolling to the `waters beneath. . This poetic designation, which is of A-ben-a-ki origin slightly modified by the exegencies of ,changing dialects, already swayed its magic sceptre over these waters when the Huron savage first appeared upon the scene, and is one of the few names -melancholy rel- ics, sparsely scattered here and there north of the St. Lawrence and the great lakes -which remain to tell of Abenaki occupation. A lovely trip through the wonderful- ly beautiful island scenery of the Geor- gian Bay took up all Thursday after- noon, the excursionists being fairly roused to the enthusiastic admiration of the vistas of islands and grey rock- ed mounds rising out of the fair waters covered with hardy foliage. A.glorious sunset was a fitting finish to such a day, and when Parry Sound, with its form- ' hen You Feel Cross And are worried arid irritated you can get the liver right by using Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills.

Here the pretty dining -room with its effective blue walls and hang- ing flower baskets was arranged for a delightful meal, and afterwards an ex- cellent orchestra played entrancing music for the many dancers. Here in the early hours of the morn- ing, David Purvis, president of the Parry Sound Board of Trade, tendered welcome and Messrs. Williams and Bradwin made response.. Parry Sound, a town of three thous- and inhabitants, built upon the granite hills where the Sequin river empties into the Sound, is dependent upon the lumber industry for its progress. With- in the last ten years it has become not- ed as one of the most beautiful summer resorts in Canada, In the mind of any- one who, either as a tourist or prospec- tor, has visited the Parry Sound dis- trict, the first emotion likely to be ex- cited on reference being made to this region, is one of delight and pleasure, as the transcendent beauty of its wood- lands and lakelande recurs to memory. Once seen, the recollection of these beauty spots of Ontario never becomes entirely effaced from memory. Within the district of Parry Sound lie some eight hundred lakes, varying from a mere pond to twenty to thirty miles in length. It is, therefore, not strange that the lake is becoming so popular year by year, as its advantages become more widely known. The Sound is a magnificent body of water, varying in depth from four to one hundred fathoms, extending west- erly seven miles to Kill Bear Point, and "north-easterly into Deep Bay twelve miles and having a width in some parts of six miles. Along its coast, north, west and south, are numbers of islands and channels, and as the Sound is so completely land- loeked, these render it an ideal resort for tourists and canoeists. The Sequin river, which empties into the Sound at this point, is noted for its beautiful scenery of rapids and falls, and excel- lent fishing is to be had along its course. The drives about Parry Sound are con- sidered unequalled for their picturesque and rugged scenery. The second day of the excursion in- cluded a trip on the Germanic from Parry Sound through the ever -increas- ingly beautiful island scenery of the Georgian Bay. The arrival of the par- ty, as the boat went into the splendid Collingwood harbor, backed by the gorgeous Blue Mountains, the frontage of the fine shipyards, eliciting the ad- miration of all on board, was hailed by continuous salutes, and responses from the Germanic. A walk up the busy and beautiful main street of Collingwood, with its coronation decoratious still flying, led to the Temple, owned jointly by the Masons and Oddfellows there. In a large banquet hall the ladies' auxiliary of the local Y. W. C. A. served a sumptuous lunch, the tables being beautifully dec- orated with June flowers. Mayor Currie presided and welcom- ed, on behalf of the corporation, the members of the Press Association and of the Women's Press Club, of Toron- to. The king, the guests and the town of Collingwood were toasts fully honor- ed, speeches being made by Messrs. C. W. Young, president of the . C. P. A.; Town Solicitor Birnie; 3. G. Elliott, of Kingston, and George C. Creelman, president of the Ontario Agricultural College. A special tribute of cheers was given by the visitors to David WiI- liams, editor of the Collingwood Bulle- tin, and former president of the Cana- dian Press Association. The indebtedness of the tourists to their hosts was then tactfully acknowl- edged by George E. Scroggie, Toronto, in making the presentation to Manager McDonald, of the Northern Navigation company, and Mrs. McDonald, who had looked after the comfort of the ladies, of a beautiful set of Crown Derby. A similar honor was paid A. E. Dnff by A. T. Wilgress, of Brockville, and the recipients gracefully made acknowledg- ment. A drive in luxurious automobiles was taken and a halt made at the laying by 3. F. MacKay, of the cornerstone of the King George school, where the young people gathered in hundreds to watch the proceeding. He was pre -1 sented with a silver trowel and, after the stone was well and truly laid, made a splendid address to the school chil- dren that was received with great ap- preciation. Mr. McKay, on behalf of the Cana- dian Press Association, presented the new school with a large Union Jack. The party previously visited the ship- yard, the chilled -meet industry and the public park, Mayor 3. A. Currie, M.P., taking great pains that nothing was missed. At 5.3O p.m gcadbe smost ra le -ful were said to the numbers' gathered at the station, and amid snapping of c.iit,emsfp,nd shouts of adieu, the train moved slowly out, carrying with it a somewhat tired and dishevelled but thoroughly delighted galtheiing of members, who acknowledged tliat never had they so keenly appreciated the exquisite beauties of their own lake eountry. It takes a lot of hard rubbing eke the average man'. bright.

It must not be forgotten that the United States has at any time the power to turn a large volume of export trade from Canada southwards by the lowering of its duties. ' We cannot even prevent this unless we impose ex- port duties, which no one has yet had the hardihood to suggest. The practi- cal effect of this reciprocity agreement, the Saturday News bas contended from the first, is the same as if the Ameri- can Government has decided of its own volition to throw down the tariff on Canadian natural products. The recip- rocal advantage that is given the Am- erican farmers means nothing. At least no Canadian farmer really fears competition and it is manifestly absurd to contend with alI our natural wealth that we have reason to apprehend being swamped by American farm products. But there is danger, nevertheless, that with the throwing down of these tariff barriers, the cause of closer trade relations within the Empire will suffer, It is advisable that something be done to prevent this. The obvious and only remedy is to increase the preference which would stimulate anew the Brit- ish trade connection and prevent a fall- ing off in the volume of commerce east and west that otherwise must follow the new arrangements with the United States. Mr. Fielding had stated quite clearly that the Government does not intend to apply this remedy. His announcement gave Mr. Borden the great opportunity of his career. But he has passed it up. Whether he does so off his own bat or whether the limitations which party exigencies place upon him are respons- ible is impossible to say, but the effect to throw away a chance to make a clean sweep of the West and to rally the forces of Conservatism throughout the whole Dominnion. Queer Brushes and Combo. The cat Carries her clothes brush in her mouth, for with her rough tongue she cleanses her glossy coat as a boy brushes his clothes. She licks ane of her front paws and rubs it over her face, and she is ready for her break- fast. Foxes, dogs and wolves do not use their mouths when they need to wash and brush, but scratch themselves vigorously with their hind paws, and are as fresh as ever. The cow, with her long rough tongue combs her coat of hair until it is clean and curly. The horse, more than any other animal, de- pends on his owner to keep his eoat in proper condition, on but often he will roll on the green grass or rub himself down against a tree or fence. Field mice comb their hair with their hind legs, and the fur sear in a similar manner spends as much time as a woman mak- ing herself look smart. Although the elephant appears to be thick-skinned and callers, he takes great care of his skin, He cften gives himself a shower bath by drawing water into his long trunk and blowing it en the different parts of the body. After the bath, he sometimes rolls himself into a toilet preparation of dust to keep otf the Elie:`;. A GREAT FAIR. The finest horses, cattle and other live stock in Canada will be seen at the Western Fair, London, which will open on Sept. 8th and continue till Sept. 16th. Persons interested in live stock, even those living in the neighboring republic and the Uunited Kingdom have learned that nowhere is a better class of anim- als brought together than is always to be seen at this great exhibition; hence it is that they find their way to it each year. Scarcely less famous are the displays of the products of the farm and or- chard; in fact, there is not a building on Queen's Park, London, that is not a point of attraction when the Western Fair is on. The coming fair will be no exception to the rule, unless it be that the displays in all departments will be greater and better than ever before. But the Western Fair does not .end here. There are the special attrac- tions, which this year will afford sur- prise and delight to all visitors, the Directors having spared neither time nor expense to make these features in keeping with twentieth century ideas. Of course there will be jumping and speeding events, in which the mettle of the best horses in the country will be tested. There will be military fea- tures; demonstrations of the alacrity of a city fire department; the aeroplane will be in operation in London for the first time; a "turn" will be given by a group of Polar bears; and there will be an amusing act by trained dogs; acrobatic acts clever and amusing; cat and dog shows and many other special attractions that are sure to delight the tens of thousands of visit- ors, Throughout each day and evening four splendid bands will be on the grounds, so that an abundance of excel- lent music is assurred. Each evening, in addition to other attractions, there will be a magnificent display of fire- works. Nothing is being left undone BRONCHITIS COMPLETELY CURED. St. Jean, P.Q., ,fan. 5th, 1910.

Mr Vain Waeenen on Seventy-sixth pirthday Sends Cheery Greeting. To the fanner dissatisfied with his' groove in life this beautiful optimistic, letter, first published In the Country - Gentleman. i$ optim1stical4Y re4om mended: I wish to extend to ply coworkers In Agriculture everywhere my seventy-siittle birthday greeting, This anniversary finds Me hate and hearty. I do not ItnwW that 1 ever felt less of Pain or dieease except it be a mild indication of general debility, which surely Is to be expected. This de, strable condition 01 health 1 attribute in great measure to temperate and regular , habits of life, All my life as a farmer I have been accustomed to rise at 6 and un- der all ordinary circumstances to retire at 9. I deem this sort of life conducive to the highest health. I was not born se, Samson in strength, but rather, like Paull with "a thorn in the flesh," We have never had any use for alcohol or tobacco In the family. The only pipe we ever used was the Indian pipe of peace, and this; all were encouraged to use freely, as its smoke was offensive to no one, but rather a sweet smelling savor, fillieg the whole house with its perfume, This custom hen made It possible for a large family -never less then seven or eight, sometimes nearly twice that -to live together with very lit- tle Jar or friction. From many years Of experience I can heartily recommend the pipe of peace in all families at the earliest indications of any need of it. I am sure that the farm Is no place for those who have ambitions to become autll- denly rich, but as a life of sturdy inde- pendence no other equals it. Probably it is true that the farmer could get along without the millionaire, but'the rich man could not do without the products of the farm. still, all classes aro needed, and their aim should be to work together for the best good of all. After a lifetime spent on one farm I call myself a rich man, nee In money, it is true, but in a life satisfied with an abundance of the things that I really need. What we have beyond this tends to make us poorer. ' The only dash* I have for more than my needs wouldbe for the pleasure it would afford me to give it to those in want. Fifty-two years ago last November I brought my wife to the home where we now live. We have never known or cared to know any other home. We have been of one mind in thinking that there was as much enjoyment in farm life as we could find anywhere in the wend. Nearly all of our neighbors have sought more Congenial surroundings, but I regret to say that ap- parently few have bettered their condi- tion. Not that our life has been all sun- shine, yet we have no reason to think there would have been more if, we has tried a change. What gives me most pleasure of all to relate is that my dear wlfe's health is apparently as good .as my own, and we are accounting our last days among our best. JARED VAN WAGENIeN. $100 AN ACRE FROM CABBAGES Comparativafy Little Care la Needed if Grown Under Farmer's Eye. There is great profit in raising cab- bages, but the farmer should raise them himself, says the Orange Judd Farmer. He can have them grown under contract for about $2 a thou- sand, but under his own/ care they should not cost him more than $1. Full plowed laud that has received about ten tons or well rotted manure per acre is best for this crop. As early in the spring as possible the ground is disked once to form a dust mulch Cor conserving the moisture. *CABBAGES' ALMOST T.zI ,, Rosi The land is then left untouched until ready for planting, at which time it Is disked once each way aad harrowed. There is no definite time for setting out plants, as this is entirely gov- erned by the earliness of the season. The best time is as -soon as danger of bard freezing is over. No special cultivation is needed. Plow at least three times and go over once or twice with a hoe. It the hoeing and plowing are done at the right time very little hard work Is re- quired' to keep the erop quite free from weeds. The average price for cnbbabe on track .in recent years has beets $8 per ton. An acre Will produce at least eighteen tons, which wilt amount to $144.
