The locket was the property of Miss S. Bawden, of Clinton, and in writing to the editor and enclosing a reward for the little girl says:—"Kind- ly thank the little girl for me, and also mention in your paper that it pays to advertise." The Montreal Witness points out that with a market of close on a hun- dred millions the farmer's life will be less of a gamble and less anxious. Farmers will stop losing their surplus. crops by gluts in the market when they cannot pay the United States duty, "There are United States buy- ers all through the country just now looking for hay," says The Witness, "though it costs four dollars a ton duty s the line. With the to get it across duty off, the Canadian farmer would get four dollars more a ton for his hay, which would be very nice for him." More important is wheat. Late prices showed $1.01 5-8 at Minneapolis, as compared with 93 3-4 cents at Winni- peg, and the Canadian wheat is of better quality and in an open market would command a higher price than the United States wheat. "In 1907 and 1908 our farmers sent a million bushels of oats to the United States, upon which the duty was fifteen cents a bushel. If there had been no duty. the probability is that our farmers would have secured from telt to twelve cents more a bushel fort many times more oats, as well as a large, steady market. On barley the duty is thirty cents, and who can doubt that the Can- adian fanner woule benefit if this were removed?" These are considerations for our farmers when election day is ttrpproaehing. SOUTH BRUCE LIBERALS, South Bruce Liberals convened at Walkerton on Thursday afternoon, President I. Shoemaker, warden of the County of Bruce, was in the chair, All the candidates retired in favor of Mr. R. E. Truax, M.P.P., including Mr. J. G. Anderson, of Lucknew, who has been prominently mentioned. However, Mr. Anderson felt that the right man for the occasion was Mr. Truax, and he moved that the nomination be given him unanimously. If a convention the size of this one held Thursday means anything, then South Bruce will be redeemed. The farmers of the county are deeply interested in the reciprocity issue, as was shown when they left their crops in the field and came from all parts of the riding to the meeting, re- maining to the finish, and the cheers that greeted Mr. Truax and the other speakers showed that they were in the fight to win. The following were nominated: Mes- srs. R. E. Truax, M.P.P., Walkerton; Conrad Krug, Chesley; M. A. Halliday, Chesley; D. J. Shoemaker, Paisley; J. G. Anderson, Lucknow; P. H. McKen- zie, Lucknow; G. H, Mooney, Ripley; S. A. Rife, Walkerton; J. B. Campbell, Pinkerton, and Dr. Crowe, Chesley. These gentlemen were asked for a five- minute speech, and all withdrew their names with the exception of Mr. Truax, who received a great ovation as he stepped on the platform, Mr. Truax received the unanimous vote of the entire gathering, When the nomina- tions were over two very eloquent ad- dresses were delivered by Mr. J. J. Hun- ter, of Kincardine, and P. H. McKen- zie, which were highly appreciated by those present. George Russel died at Charlton after being hit in the head by George Evans with his fist. Evans was arrested, and is now in jail at North Bay; James Clouston, a traveller for the dry goods firm of John Macdonald Co., Toronto, lost his life in Lake Sim- coe Monday afternoon. VOTERS' LIST, 1911 Municipality of the Town of Wingham, in the County of Huron. I Buy at Home. Why? Because my interests are here. Because the community that is good enough for me to live in is good enough to buy in. Because I believe in transacting business with my friends. Because I want to see the goods. Be- cause I want to get what I buy when I pay for it. Because my home dealer "carries me" when I am short. Be- cause every dollar I spend at home stays at home and works for the good of my own town. Because the man I buy, from stands back of the goods. Because I sell what I produce here at home. Because the man I buy from pays his part of the town and county taxes. Because- the man I buy from gives value every time. Because the man I buy from helps support my school, my church, my lodge, my home Because when ill luck, misfortune and bereavement come, the man I buy from is here with his kindly greeting, his words of cheer, and his pocketbook if needs be. Here I live and here I buy. Why should ladies in our community spend time and effort working for out- side concerns and get no commissions? Try what cash can do at home before sending out of town. A few faithful comparisons will convince you that home dealing is by far the best. And be sure you deal with the man \who is not afraid to advertise his goods, and lives up to his advertising. There is no finer medicine in the world than a good laugh, and the friend who can, even for a moment, take us out of our troubles in a hearty peal of laughter is a true benefactor. A laugh has cleared up many a misun- derstanding—a laugh, be it understood, at the right time. A laugh at the wrong time does infinite harm, and will almost invariably be found to spring from some selfish enjoyment of anoth- er's discomfiture. BORN.
