TO CALL CONVENTION
At a meeting of farmers held in
Clinton last week the following resol-
ution was adopted.
"That we place ourselves on re-
cord as being in favor of placing 11.
F. 0. Candidates in the field to cone
test the coming elections, and that
we appoint an Executive of the Clubs'
of the North part of the Riding to
meet the Executive of the Soutli
part to further the organization for,
this purpose."
The question of having a fair repl-
resentation of fanners in the Houses
of parliament is being a real live is-
sue and as the South part of the rid-
ing has already met it was up to the
Northern part to decide what they,
would do if South Huron was to be
represented by a U. P. 0. Candidate.
Addresses were given by Mr. Rat-
cliffe of Usborne Twp,; Mr. Shilling -
law of Tuckersmith; Mr, Love of
Tuckersmith; Mr. Coleman of Tuck-
ersmith; Mr. Marquis of Godericb
township; Mr. Scott of Mullett; Mr.
McDowell, McKillop; Mr. Black,
Tuckersmith; Mr. Eckert, McKillop;
Mr. Thomas McMillan, Huliett; Mr.
McGavin, Walton and many othere
spoke in the issue and of things
general in the interests of the farm-
ers.
It is expected that the Executive
will meet in Hensel' in May to lay
plans for the forthcoming Conven-
tion.

mission up to March 12 was $73,945.

The proposition is to take over the
three hospitals now in the county
and to maintain them as War Mem-
orial hospitals and also establish.
two or three other smaller hospitals
If such a plan goes through Exeter
might might well be considered on
the plans.
