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.

EAST WA WANOSII.
"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.

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.

N. 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."—

Drainage Demonstration.
The Ontario Agricultural College is
emphasizing the value of drainage
again this summer, for which purpose
drainage demonstrations are being held
in many parts of the province. On Thurs-
day, June 27th at the hour of 2 o'-
clock one of these demonstrations will
be held on the farm of Mr. M. I. Adolph
concession 4, lot 9, Wallace Township.
This meeting should be of special inter-
est as some difficult places to drain are
involved. Besides the discussion of the
particular problems of Mr. Adolph's
farm, there will be a demonstration of
methods of finding the fall over a ditch,
determing the grade, digging true to
grade, etc. Those of our readers in-
terested in drainage should not miss
this meeting.
Anyone wishing information about
the drainage work should write Prof.
W. H. Day, 0. A. C. Guelph.

LIVE` STOCK MARKETS.
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.
