BLLIOTT, Puur. sn£a AND PROPIETOR. THURSDAY JUNE 27. 1912. EDITORAL NOTES. The Provincial elections in New Brunswick on Thursday resulted in practically a clean sweep for the Con- servative Government, only 2 Opposition men, Dugal and Pelletier, in Madawas- ka, being elected. In Northumberland, where three Independent Conservatives ran on the Government ticket, two of them were elected. In St. John City, York and Sunbury counties the Opposi- tion candidates lost their deposits. Mr. A. B. Copp, the Opposition leader, was badly defeated in Westmoreland. Canadian import trade returns just announced indicate that during the fiscal year ending April 30, there has been an increase of more than $80,- 000,000 in the trade with the United States, and of over $3,000,000 in trade with Great Britain. Imports, dutiable from the United Kingdom were $90,- 684,068, and imports, free, $27,800,343, as against $84,710,285 of dutiable and $25,167,074 free in the previous year. Dutiable imports frorn the United Stat- es were $204,859,583 and free imports $161,695,200, as compared with $154,- 552,151, and free imports of $131,854,- 862. An election, now and then, is an ex- cellent means of making the mind of a statesman fertile. If the people can- not get promises at such a time, they need scarcely look for much in the way of performances afterward. And Mr. Rogers is probably the most gifted promiser north of the international boundary and south of Dr. Cook's polar headquarters. He has promised to keep navigation open a month later in the fall in order that western wheat may reach the sea. No doubt he secur- ed the consent of Lake Superior on his way west, and is in a position to assure the prairie farmers that the Georgian Bay is hot for the scheme.—Toronto Star. The wealth of the world is not very evenly divided. The privately owned - -wealth of the United States, for in- stance, is valued at fifteen billion dol- lars. Of these, two families have half a billion each, four have two hundred millions each, eight are rated at one hundred millions, 28 at fifty millions, 95 at twenty-five millions, 285 at twelve millions, 770 at six millions, 1,925 at three millions, and 4,620 at one million and a half. That is to say, 7,737 fami- lies comprised in these groups own 24 per cent. of the nation's wealth, 189,- 237 families own 54 per cent., 3,022,237 families own 87 per cent. In the ag- gregate this means enormous wealth, but it leaves much to be desired in the distribution thereof. It is figures such as these that make socialists and breed ,syndicalism.—Hamilton Times. The revised area figures of the three recently extended Provinces of Mani-. toba, Ontario and Quebec have just been made public from the Lands Branch of the Department of the In- terior, and are as follows: Manitoba, previous to the act of 1912, land, 64,- 327 square miles; water, 9,405 square miles; total, 73,732 square miles; addi- tion by act of 1912, land and water, 178,100 square miles. Present total area of Manitoba, 251,832 square miles. Ontario previous to the act of 1912, Is -ed, 220,508 square miles: water, 40,- 354 square miles; total 260,852 square miles; added by act of 1912, land and water, 146,400 square miles; present total area of Ontario, 407,252 square miles. Quebec, previous to the act of 1912, land, 311,750 square miles; water, 10,117 square miles; total, 351,873 square miles; addition by the act of 1912, land and water, 354,961 square miles; present total area of Quebec, 706,',34 square miles. A drunken brawl amongst two Ital- ians of the G. T. R. construction camp at Swansea and three Polacks, resulted in two of the latter being killed. One Italian was wounded and has been ar- rested, while the other escaped. The fight is said to have started over a girl.

"Spring Creek Farm", the home of Mr. and :Mrs. Wm. M. Anderson was the scene of a very pretty wedding on June 26th, when their eldest daughter, Tessa May was united in marriage to Herb- ert Shiell of East Wawanosh. At five o'clock to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Margaret Shiell, sister of the groom, the bridal party entered the room. The ceromony was performed by Rev. Dr. Rutledge of Wingham. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked:charming in her bridal dress of cream brocaded voile trimmed with pearl fringe over cream taffeta. She carried a boquet of bridal roses and ferns, The groom's gift to the bride was a parlor cabinet and to the organist a brooch set with pearls. The guests numbering about thirty sat down to a sumptuous repast and the evening was spent in music and sing- ing. The presents were numerous and costly and testified to the popularity of the bride and groom. Mr. and Mrs. will reside at the home of the groom, "Maple Leaf Farm" East Wawanosh.

Tips For Brides. When you marry, love him. After you marry him, study him. If he is honest, honor him. If he be generous, appreciate him. When he is sad, cheer him. When he is cross, amuse him. When he is secretive, trust him. When he is talkative, listen to him. When he is quarrelsome, ignore him. If he is confidential, encourage him. If he is slothful, spur him. If he be noble, praise him. If he be jealous, cure him, If he cares not for pleasure, coax him. If he prefers society, accompany him. If he does you a favour, thank him. When he deserves it, kiss him. Let him think how you understand him. But never let him know you can man- age him. Nursing Mothers Aching Backs and Tired limbs Need Not be Endured. Aching backs, tired limbs, attacks of faintness, headaches and backaches, need not be a part of woman's life. There are times when her blood needs special attention, and these times are indicated by one or more of the above symptoms. It is at such times' that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are worth their weight in gold to women, for they actually make the rich, red, health - giving blood which makes weak, tired, despondent women, active and strong, and feeling equal to all their household duties. Such a sufferer was Mrs. Wil- liam Sullivan, Main River, N. B., who says: "I am writing to acknowledge the great good I received through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills After my baby was born last summer I was so run down that life was really a burden. I had to drag myself about to do my housework, and every ,moment was one of trial. If I went upstairs I would be breathless and tired/out, and my heart would palpitate violently, and I would have a feelin as though I was smother- ing. My apgaile was poor, and my baby was suffering from my weakness. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and got six boxes, and before they were all quite used I was like a different woman, My appetite return- ed; I regained my strength, and the work about the house no longer bother- ed me. As the result of my experience I would strongly urge all weak women and nursing mothers to use Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills." There is no woman, no matter what her station in life, who will not enjoy better health if she occasionally forti- fies her blood through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. "If having dragooned the politicians of this Province into the adoption of our policy—and in using that word dragooned I do not refer to the leader of the Opposition, because I believe he is acting according to a supreme con- viction—if having dragooned them into adopting our policy—namely, the aboli- tion of the bar—we fail to stand by the men who risk their political lives to carry out our behest, we shall receive the contempt, and deserve the contempt of the party in the Legislature that at present opposes that policy, and if we fail in this crisis the friends of our cause, we shall deserve their everlast- ing suspicion, contempt and distrust. Under the circumstances I can see nothing for it, having invited our .pub- lic men to deal with one of the most difficult public questions in a certain way, when they have accepted our challenge, but to give them our utmost support in carrying this task to a suc- cessful issue." - Rev. Dr. Chown. Auction Sale OF VALUABLE Brick and Tile Yards and Farm Property.

EVANS, Manager: Engines Prolong Farmer's Life. "I believe that the gasoline engine has done more and will do more to prolong the life of the farmer than any device that has ever been placed on the market," declared a man interested ie rural pro- gress, as he was watching the energetic efforts of ail engine that was operating some up-to-date machinery on a Canad- ian farm. "The average farmer of to -day, if he is past sixty, is pretty apt to be broken down and looks to be 10 years older than he really is. Why is it, do you ask? It is simply because this man has broken himself down physically through hard manual labor that is in a large measure now being done by the gasoline engine. These machines are being built so cheaply and substantially that almost any farmer may own one. If he is not able to bear all the expense for this labor-saving device he may unitg' with some neighbor and own one jointly."— Farm and Dairy. Drainage Demonstration.

Toronto, June24—Union Stock Yards —Receipts were 83 cars, with 1,45.1 head of cattle, 229 sheep and lambs, 1,089 hogs and 107 calves. The relief looked for is not yet in sight. Prices continue to rule strong at top notch. It was but a moderately heavy run at the market this morning, and with a big demand for butcher cattle, last week's closing prices, the highest for the week, were easily main- tained to -day, though not any higher. The high prices now prevailing made trading a little slow, but buyers were unable to get concessions. While cattle, sheep and lambs re- main steady to strong, hogs tell a diff- erent story, this week's prices showing a sudden drop of 35c with $7.90 f. o. b., $8.25 fed and watered, and $8.50 weigh- ed off cars.
