Changed Postal Rates.
Many citizens seem to have the im-
pression that there had been among
the recent postal rate 'changes a re-
duction of charges respecting Great
Britain and the British possessions.
The rate for letters of 4c for the first H. Woods, Calgary, whose re

ounce still remains in all places other cent speech in New Zealand at a ban
than on the North American continent quet given imperial press delegate
where, whether a British possession aroused great enthusiasm.
or not, the charge is 3c for the first
ounce and 2c for additional entices.
To, any other country the charge is
now 8c for the first ounce and 4c
for each additional ounce.
One reason given for the failure of
so many marriages is that the parties
concerned could not he successful no

William Montgomery Born in Ireland
in 1889 ---Now Lives at Gorrie---
Crossed the Ocean Five Times
During His Activities +'
GORRIE, Oct. 16.—One of the best
known pioneers of Huron County is
William Montgomery, of this village.
Although born in Ireland, he has liv-
ed most of his life in Canada, coming
to this country in 1847, when eight
years of age.
Mr. Montgomery was born in Don-
egal County, Ireland, in 1839, and
has thus lived under three British
soverigns and during six British wars.
He came to Canada with his parents
in 1847 on a sailing vessel, the York-
shire. which put into Quebec after a
voyage of seven weeks, which was so
rough that she arrived in port with
all sails and masts swept away by the
terrific storms through which she
Passed,
From Quebec the Montgomery fax-
ily continued on to Montreal by
steamer and from there they made
their way to Manvers Township, Dur-
ham County, where they remained
for fire months. They then went by
steamer to Hamilton and continued
from there to Wellesley Towne}iip,
Waterloo County. After nine years
in Waterloo they continued west,
making their home in Howick Town-
ship, Huron County. In 1862 Mr.
Montgomery took up a farm of his
own, which was a hundred acres of
bush, This he cleared, and developed
into one of the finest farms in the
district..
Farmed at Wroxeter.
Three years later he was married
to Miss Mary Corbett. There was a
family of six, five boys and a girl.
fair Deal
n Farmers are Getting
Back in 1921 we sold the United States agricultural
products to the value of $14b,539,883. After the Fordney
U.S. Tariff of 1922 went into effect in the United States we
sold them only $51,337,733 worth.
By raising their tariffs the United States farmers have put
about $100,050,000 per annum more into their pockets and
the Canadian farmers have lost it.
What is the lesson to the Canadian farmer?
On what terms is the Canadian farmer competing with
the farmer of the United States? They are terms that not
only forbid the sale of his products in the United States
but compel him at the same time to witness United States
farm products replacing his own in the home markets of
Canada. Let us examine some of these terns.

The United States raised their tariff, in order to protect
the American Farmers, and the purchasing of foreign farm
products was reduced. It was, therefore, to the American
Farmer's benefit.
And we prove it. In the next column we list a few
Canadian products imported by the United States under
the 1921 tariff and under the raised tariff of September
21st, 1922, These figures are quoted from the "Com-
mercial Intelligence Journal" published by Ottawa
Government (26th September, 1925, page 324).

Canada will be flooded with fame products frost other countries at these low
rates, but Canadian farm products are shut out of other countries by high tariffs.
Meanwhile half a million Canadians have moved to the United States because of
the tariff reductions that have closed up or slowed down hundreds of factories.
That is, half a million buyers of Canadian farm products have been lost. The far-
mers are hit twice.

Perhaps there's room for doubt
But even though the amp is wrong,
When he says you're out,

when Hecto McKinnon, 0110 of the

together with C. A. Irwin, also a well

with that policy. These r esigna-
