tempt their publio utterances it is
not difficult to see where ;;orae of the
Liberal politicians are on the question
of "The Boy or the Bar,"
The hay crop this eeason ie said to
be breaking all records. This should
be of special interest to F. B. Oarvell,
I. P, eometimee called the Haymaker
of New Brunswick.
***
Sir Alan Aylesworth and the Globe
must be on the 'buts," for the tributes
they respectively pay one another in
such formal terms are distinctly cold-
hearted and personal.
The long skirt is coming back, and
it is to be regretted, for though some
looked ridiculous in the extreme short
skirts they had much to commend
them—from a public standpoint
Temperance in Politics
While the Toronto Star believes that
the Ontario Government is weakening
on the prohibition question, the Globe
dwells on the belief that Premier
Hoaret's patriotic eeif•eacriflce had
lifted the liquor question out of parti-
san controversy.
Meanwhile the Liberal party is do-
ing its beet to place and keep the tem-
perance issue within party bounds.
Had the Liberal temperance electors
stood by their pledge to keep the clues.
ttan out of politics it would not be
there to -day in each successive bye -
election. Unfortunately. when the
opportunity came for temperance
Liberals to back up their pledge, they
unblushingly lined up with the liquor
interests and anti -prohibitionists to
censure at the polls, the Government
which bad met their reugeet for war.
time prohibition, They did so in the
full knowledge of who their allies were.
If the Government now takes heed
of what is going on it does not become
any section of Liberalism to blame
them.

FROM THE TRENCHES
One of the Winghasal bays who is
now serving at the front composed
this little piece of poetry.
Only just one More Reveille,
Only just one more parade,
Only one more kit inspection,
As a dream they all will fade.
When we get our civet clothes on,
Ob, how happy we will be,
When this bloomin' war is over,
No more soldiering for me.
Then we'll see the last of trenches,
Guards and fatigue will be no more,
Well all be spooning with the wenches
As we did in days of yore.
N. 0. O's will alt be navvies,
'Pei'Pateer Will drive their motor cars.
No more "Sir"ing and saluting,
No mote tea in dirty Jars,
No more mArehing. no more doubling,
No more meals with rations lean,
No more pushing bloowln barrows,
At the range on Eratnshott green,
No more full packs for tomorrow,
No more bread like granite reek,
No more rising at five•thirtye
No "Iighte out" at ten o'clock,
'P'eople told us when, we eniteted,
Fame snd medals we would win,
Rut, the fatne was in the guardroom,
And the medals Were made of tin,
Whets we're Bnlalied With the "kaiser".
AU the Empire then will Ging,
No more War for now We're wiser,
And again "God Satinet The ging,"
SHOULD A JUDW3
OWE REASONS ?
The prime rousidei-atlou it connete
tion with a tall exhibition, large or
swall, is or should be its real educe.
tive value to exhibitors and epeotatare.
We grant that a fair le a good plate to
go to have a good time, to meet
friends, and to improve social condi-
lions, but the major part of the exhib-
its are always of an educative as well
as of an attractive nature, The special
dieplays put on by various Orals tak-
ing space in the buildings are eduoat•
ive, Even the attractions in front of
the grandstand are enlightening, and
all the claepee and sections devoted to
the products of the farm, if properly
exhibited, ebould be of great value to
the value to the farmer anxious to im-
prove and increase his output, and to
the city dweller desirous of having as
good a knowledge of agriculture as is
available under the circumstances.
"The Farmers' Advocate"' has had oc•
rasion to criticize the manner inwhich
some of the exhibits from the farms
have been kept in the background at
former large exhibitions, believing
tbat if it is worth while to give prizes
for exhibits and worth while for pro.
ducers to take, pains to perfect a pro-
duct to the show -ring or prize-winning
point, it is essential that the said pro-
duct, whether it be apples, potatoes,
pigs, sheep, horses, cattle or what not
be displayed to beet advantage. Of
course, the only time to see the stock
to good advantage is when it is I e'ng
judged. With heat and flies and
strange oenditions, most of the stock
must be kept blanketed and as quiet
as possible in the stabiee, But in the
ring it met strip for the judge, and
the judging is where the greateet in-
terest and value is for the person who
would learn how to improve. Ob-
viously a judge, if he knows his been
netis, has a reason for his placing. If
he hasn't a reason for awarding as he
does he is eitber "up in the air" or is
an incapable judge, The exhibitor
and the spectator have a right to know
the judge's reasons where close decis-
ious are made, or, ae a matter of edu-
cation all the way- around. If a man
asks a judge why he makes a certain
placing he usually gets a suitable and
free explanation.. The judge is gener-
ally only too ready to help all he can,
If an exhibitor is desirous of kicking
up a row 'or is endeavoring to use in^
fluence or argue with the judge he
shouldn't be listened to, but if he is
just after information and does not
question the judgment he is entitled to
it. The spectaato is also entitled to
an explanation. The Ontario Provin-
cial Winter Fair Board thought so
much of the 'reasons' feature of their
live -stock department that in beef
cattle, at least the judge, after placing
the entries, addressed hie reasons to
the galleries and ring side in a loud
voice, going over the cattle one by
one, And yet we find this clause in
the prize list of one of Canada's hag -
est exhibitions among the instructions
to judges:

"Judges are particularly requested
not to argue with exbibitore regard-
ing the merits of demerits of any art-
icles examined by them, and on no
account to give reasons upon which
they have based their decisions."
We quite agree that arguments
should not be allowed or indulged in.
Good judges avoid such. But why
should a judge not give treasons when
asked in a gentlemanly manner?
True, most judges at fairs are over-
worked in an endeavor to keep up
with a fast schedule; and often ajudge
is called upon to place • too many
breeds in one day. Time for reasons
is limited. More satisfactory work
would doubtless be accomplished with
a judge for each breed in horses, cattle,
sheep and swine at the larger fairs so
that judges would not be so hurried.
But to be fair to the judge, to the ex -
h i b i t o r s and to the spectators
reasons should be given when asked
for, and we feel sure the paragraph
here quoted was an ,oversight upon
the part of the Fair Bard responsible
for it. The way it reade, a judge who
lived up to the regulations could not
say a word to justify his placing, If
the show is to be 'educative then tbe
whys and wherefores must b3 made
eaey for the public to grasp. Surely.
there are better arguments for making
reasons on placings known than for
"on no account" giving them. It is a
pity some means of making these reas-
ons known to A11 Whp see the exhibits
could not be devised, Fortunately
Canada has a large quota of compet-
ent judges. An incompetent would be
in his glory under such a clause. He
would not require a reason for any-
thing. A good judge is desirous of
helping exhibitors and epectators to
get the.desired type in whatever he
may be judging, He cheerfully gives
reasons where properly asked. We
think he should not be prevented from
doing so on any aceouut.- Fartnere

a Goderish lady received a few days

Not one mowene paused the maiden,
but with cheek and brow aglow.

Then she climbed the slimy ladder
without one ray of light
Upward still, her pale lips saying,
"Curfew shall not ring tonight,"

There, 'twixt heaven and earth euse

And he thought the twilight curfew
rang young Basil's funeral knell,

and brow so pale and white,
Stilled her frightened heart's wild

Firmly on the damp old ladder, where
for hundred years before
Human foot had not been planted, and
what she this night had done
Should be told in years longe after as

Light the sky with mellow beauty,

Tell their children why the curfew did
not ring that night,
O'er the distant hills came Cremwell,

Lately white with sickeningterror,

At hie feet she told her story, showed

Held, on Tuesday evening, Aug 15th,
when the neighbors and friends of that
district gathered to honor Isaac Gaul-
ey and Geo. Rivett, who are home on
harvest vacation from Oamp Borden.
After a short program, S. Sherwood
called on G. Horn and Thos, Wiggins,
Dungannon, who in turn called G.
Rivett to the floor and read an address
Qf appreciation on the stand wbieh he
has taken to volunteer hie services for
King and country and presented him
with a wrist watch. Mr. Rivett made
a suitable reply, Mr. Sherwood and
Robs. Curren then called on Isaac
Gauley and also read an address and
presented him with a wrist watch,
Mr. Gauley in turn made asuitable
reply expressing himself thus, that he
felt it his duty to go and uphold the
honor of his county, and he hoped to
come hack and meet his friends again.
Geo. Horn expressed his appreciation
of the reception given by the lades of

Wiggins. R. Treleaven moved a vote
of thanks to Mrs. Menary for the plea -

Buggies were Sadly Outnumbered
At the Bandon Fair, which opened
July 17th, a reporter for tho Free

There were 180 Fords in the lines, or
51 per cent of the entire total. The
next closest percentages for other
makes of care tapered away down to 1

One significant fact noted that there
were eight oars to every buggy on the
