GATHERING. Last night was "Farmers' Night" in Clinton when` a public meeting was held in the town hall under the auspices of the Clinton branch of the U. F. 0. and Mrs. Glenn of Exeter, representing the U. F. W.. 0.,.and Mr. J. J. Morrison, Provincial . Sec- retary of the United Farmers, spoke. -'. There was a good attendance, the hall being pretty well tfilled, many townspeople also showing their in- terest in the noyenlent by their at- tendance. A number of women were also present, although the great ma- jority were men. lVIrs. Glenn spoke of the need of organization -among the women. She said they needed to organize for the sante reasons that men- had and also for •"a few other reasons of their own." She said women had been giv- en the;franchise and they needed to: study citizenship so as to he able to" vote intelligently. She spoke of the need of helps ' in regard` to the work of women on the farms and ad- s laundries, can- neries,. community 1 u vocateil x Y , n the kitchens, g , , work of the women on the farms. "You do not do your work as your grandfathers did," she said, address- ing the men, "why should women go on doing their work in the hardest way, as their grandmothers did?" She thought that to lighten the work of the farms and give time for self- improvement and for some ,pleasure would help anueh to solve the prob- lem of keeping the young people on the farm. . Mr, Morrison on rising said he felt it was a mixed audience he was ad- dressing but said he was sure there were many farmers present for while the back seats were full there were some empty ones in front and he thought they ought to be filled. "Far - meta have been occupying the back benches long enough," he said. "They ought to move up and take the front ones." "The rural people feel that they have not gotten a fair deal, and they have decided to get it in future. That. is the reason behind the farmers' movement," he said. "There is lit- tle difference in people," he went on, "They are all very much alike." The farmer has been diffident owing to the fact that he has lived much to himself. The rural people are the great moral force of tee eotmtry, however, and as they are now as- serting themselves good results will follow.' Mr. Morrison spoke of the opposi- tion of. the farmers' movement be- cause of its being a class organiza- tion. He said there was no harm in class consciousness; all classes of people were proud of their wox'k and all sorts of trades and, professions organized. He is not in favor of broadening out, however. "Keep your organization as a close corporation," was his advice to the farmer's. He spoke of the depopulation of the rural sections and ascribed it to econ- omic causes. -Ile said he was one of. a family of 'seven and the only far- mer arra that he had nine children and only one a farmer and he doubt- ed if he would farm long. He gave figures to show that his farm cost $100 per acre and that he couldn't sell it for $65. Ile said that the rea- son fanning was riot profitable • as other lines of industry was because farmers had not looked after the sell- ing end of their business and he caused some amusement by compar- ing their methods of buying and sel- ling to those of the Indian. He gave asthe cure the lessening of the cost of production and also the cost of distribution, by lowering the tariff and squeezing, the water out of wat- ered stoic in railways and other cor- porations. He said that the U. F. 0. movement would benefit all the pee- pie, that there were now over 60,000 members and that last year they had done $19,500,000 worth of business in their co-operative organizations, - Mr. Morrison spoke of the advent of women into politics and said he thought it would be a good tiling for the eountrY. Politics would then be discussed around the fireside and children would grow up -tore itelli- gent. "Women cannot make a worse mess of things than the men have done, anyway," was his rather am- biguous way of summing up the mat- ter, �-- CLINTON MARKET% Fall Wheat $1.80, Spring Wheat, $1,85.

He said it had outlived its usefulness and gave several reasons why he tom, sidered the system about ready for the graveyard, He said the group system gave every man a chance to express his views.

He did not •say.so. plainly but strongly hinted that he was also in favor of the recall, Mr. Morrison was listened to with Close attention and as !Madly oudly n a '. n plauded at times though mostly this was when he told a funny story, of which he seems to have quite a fund.

"We cannot do without the People's Paper and look forward to receiving 'rhe News - Record every Tuesday as to a sweet letter from hone. We had excellent crops in this vicinity this year and ideal weather conditions prevailed up li to Dec, lith, when we had our first snow storm, Nearly all the grain was hauled to the elevators on wheels. The thertxionieter has al- ready registered 30 below but indi- cations point to a fairly mild winter. Wishing the The News -Record and my old hone town a prosperous New Year." And Mrs, T. Campbell of Oakburn, Man,, writing on Dec. 17tix says: "We are having a little more snow and frosty weather the past week bet it has been very mild with just enough snow to allow the sleighs to slip along, but cars have been run- ning tip to yesterday.

"in" treated those going "out" to an oy- ster supper. at Henderson's restau- rant . ROBINS ABOUT,. At time of writing, Tuesday morn- ing, we are not only anticipating an open wnter but are enjoying it. The weather for the past week has beon more like late March than late De- cember and early January, and what is more, robins are about. Did we see any robins? no, but we can vouch for the veracity of the people who did, On Christmas Day Mrs. Liv- ertnore, Sr,, saw a robin on the lawn at, her home' and on Monday resi- dents on Mary' Street saw one flit- ing about among tho trees in front of L. Creo's house, These may have been fat old robins who didn't feel. equal to the long flight south, of course, but then ono• would think they would have tried to get a bit south of this had they been anticipat- ing' such a winter as We often have in this locality. However, we never indulge in weather predictions. We may have six feet ofsnow and plen- ty of below -zero weather between this h x the end of March, so pleoe don't say we, >redieted a mild lsl WTn- f,ex. Vet if you do we shad calmly turn up our fyle and show you this item, But, anyway, the present bright, sunshiny days are very on- joyabhe, even if they do stake rink skating impossible, APPLES IN . ORCHARDS YET. The frost and snow which Baine early in the fall, before all the ap,• pies could be picked, caught a num- ber on the trees and no doubt many barrels of, theme were wasted. 13ut M r M , Harry ar Y J. Thompson of Goderich township showed us a few he had picked from: the ground in his or- chard .yesterday, which had had no covering all this time, and which were really not in bad condition. We doubt not that Harry' •inns- a .better sample in his cellar but we ate one of these in the intervals of grinding out copy yesterday efteroon, and it wasn't a bad apple at all. Why should anyone want to go south when 'one can shoo robins off the trees and pick up apples from beneath them in January itt Ontario? LITTLE LOCALS.
