THEOTTAWA Journal is anthor- ity for the statement that there are very few good speakers in the resent Dominion House. Parlia- mentary orators of the John Mac- donald, Wilfred Laurier, Charles Tup per, Edward Blake, George Foster and Richard Cartwright type certain- ly seem to be about as defunct as the late lamented Dodo. CEVEN millions to fight the corn- )) borer in the United States has just been officially approved by President Calvin Coolidge. In the corn states they are profiting by Western Ontario's misfortune. Many of the growers from there have been here in person to see the damage done by the parasite. They want to prevent similar destruction at home. The seven millions properly spent will save many millions to the coun- try. d•❖:os ON Victoria Day, Premier Mac- kenzie King gave a broadcasted message from Ottawa, to a 100,000 crowd assembled in Hyde Park, Lon- don, England, and a little later High Commissioner Larkin telephoned 'nim from the British metropolis to ex- change greetings with reference to the incident. Either event would have been regarded as a miracle not so very long ago, yet the two com- bined, scarcely caused a ripple of public attention, so used have we become to modern marvels. R. E. PETER JOES, described as a wealthy steel manufac- turer, wants America to eliminate the back seat driver by building automobiles in which the back seat sitters can't see the driver at all, so cutting off criticism at its source, Mr. Jones' idea no doubt is a most worthy one, but as most back seat drivers seem to get a real thrill out of their squeaks and murmurs of discontent, it is doubtful if the de-' mend for the insulated body will be very heavy. In Canada and the United States, women are usually the final arbiters on automobile pur- chases, and as they comprise the bulk of the back seat drivers, they will not easily part with that en- joyable role. THE Canadian cigaret complaint Thitime WELCOME VISITOR Dr. William Graham, now of Tor- onto, and for many years a promin- ent physician in Brussels, was a week end visitor in town. The Doctor, who is now 90 years of age, is as smart as any man of 60. Old friends were glad to see him again. sults. Late operations cannot be ex- pected xpected to do more than prolong life, even if technically successful. Any indications of abnormality on or in the body which indicate the presence of a growth should be examined by a doctor at once. Most growths are not particularly harmful and may be Ieft undisturbed, but a physician must be given the chance to decide what the growth is. GETS APPOINTMENT echoes once more. s it is a news item from Washington saying that Canadian customs (of- ficals are worrying about the num- ber of American eigarets smuggled over the border. The condition will remain the same until the govern- ment at Ottawa does something to reduce the present absurd taxation. The cigaret and income taxes are two potent weapons the Liberals hold in reserve for the next general elections. To go to the country im- mediately after a budget in which the income tax was abolished and the cigaret tax substantially reduced, would be one of the most forceful arguments the Mackenzie King sup- porters could have. The plan may be good politics, but the consumer grows weary of waiting. MUSSOLINI'S statement to the Italian Senate, in asking pas- sage of his electoral reform bill which will disfranchise the citizens at large and put the election of de- puties in the hands of corporations and trade unions, that government by popular vote is a fiction, was pretty strong medicine, but it must be admitted that to some extent it is truth. So small a proportion of the population in democracies takes an active interest in politics that the choice of candidates and of policies is actually in the hands of a com- paratively few. These few, however, are responsive to popular sentiment, more so than are the directors of such a form of government as that which has been set up in Italy. If the self-appointed leaders of a de- mocracy do not give satisfaction to 'the people, they can be incontinently kicked out of office. .Apparently that will be pretty nearly impossible in Italy except after a complete up- heaval, ATIMELY warning against the fear of cancer, which obsesses many people, especialy women, was uttered. by Dr, Williatn S.

There are numerous legendary stories regarding the visits of various bands of missionaries to Britain to preach • Christianity during the Roman occupation of the country, but very little is authentically known as to the result of their efforts. In the year 190 Lucius, the British king, or chieftain, embraced the Christian faith, and this event is generally re- garded as the first introduction of Christianity in the Motherland.

"What—what—" she began to stam- mer, and then suddenly a smile bloke through the teal's of laughter that came into her eyes. "Oh my dear doctor;" she exclaimed, "what a dreadful mistake. You are looking for Dirs. Quinn's maid. She Lives across the road. You carne to the wrong house. You'd better hurry." "But the mustard is all gone," stam- mered young Dr. Claud. "Then I'll mix some more," volun- teered the young woman. Come into the kitchen." But as he arose young Dr. Claud saw the family buggy draw up across the street and his father descend, to- gether with a very agitated mitltlle- aged women. The young lady saw It, too. "That's Mrs, Quinn," she said. "I guess she found your father and has brought Min there." "Then I'd better go," shimmered young Dr. Claud. 'Ie took his hat.

There hanging upon it chain, young Dr. Claus] saw the other half of the coin. And for the second time within five minutes Miss Den - ton's cheeks turned scarlet, "Row you go," she said, pushing him toward the door. "I don't think our meeting bas been a very happy one, Dr.—Dr. Claud." But although he found himself al- most violently excluded from the house young Dr. Claud was singularly happy—so much so that his father commented upon his appearance when he came out of the house. "You certainly don't look like a man who has just been beaten to the race for his first patient," he said. "It's lucky I was on the spot, Claud. Sust saved her in time. Mrs. Quinn told me she telephoned you half an hour ago." ., "I—I went to the wrong house," fal- tered young Dr. Claud. "Humph!" growled his father.

And as the weeks rolled by he was encouraged to go on dreaming it. And when young Dr. Claud, with Mary on. his arm, came into old Dr. Claud's o18ce and, stammeting, said that he had something very Important to communicate, old Dr. Claud found that he could only press his son's hand and kiss Miss Mary's blushing cheeks. Because his dream had really come to pass and the Lovell practice seemed likely to become hereditary, FARMERS' WEEK AT GUELPH The Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, will be at home to the far- mer friends from all parts of the Province from June 19 to 22nd, The date set for Huron County is June 20.
