The following was copied from the Wingham Tinos of last week and is taken from its interesting items of twenty years ago, and will be read with interest by a number in this vicinity: "A. very pretty and quiet wedding took place in Wingham a few weeks ago, which when it be- came known to Kippenites seemed rather to surprise many. The two prominent persons who took part in the event were Miss Jennie Landers, only daughter of Mr. John Landers of Stanley and Mr. Walter Osborne, a promising young and well-to-do farmer of Lowmanville. After some three weeks of honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Osborne have now returner] to the hone of her father when the • great secret was made known to their many friends, who all unite in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Osborne all the happiness and prosperity this world can afford them, and trust it will be both liberal and kind." The couple referred to in the above lived a short distance north of Hensall for 'many years until their removal to 1lalkirk, Alta., and we may expect to See them, return and reside here again where they were most deserv- edly respected. Mr. Osborne's son • Will in a few years be :of age and will take possession of the fine farm on the Leaden Road willed to hint by • his grandfather the late john Lan- • dors.

The province•has no jurisdie-• tion over the manufacture and wholesale sale -of liquor; but a Dom- inion wartime Order -in -Council was passed which stopped • the manufac- ture, the importation and the ship- ment into any part of Canada where .provincial prohibition obtained. So 'long as this Order -in -Council was in force Ontario was' dry, but it was repealed in 1019 and since then the manufacture (Ind importation of liqu- or has been lawful, and as a result we have "wet cellars" and runt -run- ning" today. But the Dontiiiion Gov - eminent has passed what is known as "3111 26" which provides that if the legislature of any province shall ask the Dominion Government to take a vote on the .matter of impor- tation, such vote shalt be taken and if it secures a majority the iunpor- tat:on of intoxicants for beverage purposes shall cease. As this meas- ure does not prevent the manufac- ture or delivery of intoxicants with- in the province, the Ontario Legisla- ture, to meet this difficulty, passed the "Sandy Bill" which provides that no enc shall ttnsport, carry, de- liver, receive or take delivery of liquor for sale or consumption within the province, and this. raw will .conte into effect in case the vote on impor- tation favors prohibition. This will put us back in the dry column where we were for a short spell before 1019. The vtoe will be on the question: "Are you in favor of the prohibition of the importation, or bringing into the province of liquor for beverage purposes?" A.ud every voter, who wants to see a dry Ontario should vote "yes." • A bare majority of the votes east will be sufficient to bring the prohi- bition into force, but it is hardly ne- cessary to say that the biger the majority the better it will be. The voting will be under: the Dominion Act, and women have votes equaily with men. It is highly desirable that every vote be polled and that every voter who wants to see John Barley- corn put down and out, should "vote ",yes," —Walkerton Telescope. THAT TROUBLESOME FIRE -ARM LA W The following appears as an ;ed- itorial in April Rod and Gun in Can- ada: "In the best interests of the coun- try the Government at Ottawa should either repeal or further amend the Present obnoxious law pertaining, to the owning and, parrying of firearms throughout the Dominion. The tragic years of 1014 to 101.8 inclus- ive and the spectacle of Allied troops stationed in Germany in 1021. show the need of maintaining a high standard of national physical fitness, coupled with the necessary training in the use of firearms. There is no need to review the work of the cit- izen soldiery that astonished the world. Canadian marksmanship dur- ing the recent upheaval is now a matte' for the historian. Anything' that hinders the free ase of firearms :for legitimate sport afield or target practise is nothing short of a cal- amity. The youth of the country must be trained and developed; nob for the purpose of provoking war 'but as a matter of preparedness for any eventuality. The restrictive amendments to the criminal code are slowly but none the less surely stop-, ping the training of Canadians ih the art of marksmanship, Surely those in charge of law en- forcemeat have all the autherity they need for keeping a check on firearms, in the importation per- mit clause. Every Weapon that is brought into Canada must be admit- ted through the Customs depart- ment, and then only when a permit has been issued. Wholesale dealers and jobbers and even individual pur- chasers know the difficulty of im- porting farearms• so' that there hewd be no :fear on that account. Any - 0110 who would smuggle firearms in- to the country would be the last per sen to apply :for a permit to Own or carry, as required by the pres- ent amendments, Tho only arm that is being manufactured in Canada at the present time is the 22 calibre so the fear of a lied uprising with non -inverted gums can be dispelled.

IRISH COBBLER IS FAVOR- ITP1 POTATO Tests of Potatoes Show Outstanding Advantages of this Variety During the past four years the Commission of Conservation has been conducting illustration work in Dundas county, Ontario. One branch of thewo'k has been that in connec- tion onnestion with 16 farms chosen for the purpose of illustrating ithproved methods of fanning. Among the lines of work followed have been variety tests of farm crops. The results of the tests with potatoes are very val- uable, During the seasons of 1917- 18-19, the Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain varieties were grown side by side and (luring 1920 the Dooley variety was grown in addition to these, Tho Irish Cobbler is now un- mistakably the favourite variety in the county, Each year since they wore first tried on these farms the. fanners conducting the illustration work have not been able to meet the demand from the neighbours for seed.
