McMillan, South Huron representa- tive in the last Dominion Parliament, appeared to give an account of his stewardship and • to appeal for suns - pert in the coining election. Dr. J. W. Shaw acted as chairman and on introducing Mr, ltleM'illan commended his work in parliament and expressed the conviction that he would again be South Huron's rep- resentative after the election. Mr. McMillan expressed his pleas- ure at such a full house and that so many women and young people were present. He said it was most grat- ifying to find that women were tak- ing stick an interest in public af- fairs. •Speaking of the work of the Gov. ernment he said when he went to parliament four years' ago he had not made up his mind about the Aus- tralian treaty but'that he had made an exhaustive study of the whole question and was convinced that it was a benefit rather than a detri- ment to the Canadian farmer. He found no difficulty in accepting the lamming Midget, which he lauded as a masterpiece *of legislation, He claimed that of the sixty-two bud- gets brought dawn since Confedera- tion only, fifteen had been able to show a surplus and that seven of these were to the credit of the King administration during the past eight years. He gave the King Govern- ment all the credit tier consolidating and putting upon its feet the Cana- dian Railways project; claimed that the financial record of the. King ad- ministration was a wonderful one, said its record during the last par. liament was above reproach and that he was,proud'to have been a member of that Government. He thought Canada would be very foolish to risk sending anyone but Mr, King ' to England to represent her at the Em- pire Conference and appealed for the support of the people of South Iluron at the polls on Monday. J. C. 11/XeBuer, K.C„ of Toronto was present to speak in behalf of Mr, ,1VIeMillan and the King adtpin- iatrtation and he expressed hinifself as proud tq be asked to appear on the same platform as Mr. MlcMfillan:and congratulated the electors of South Huron' on .their representativd. He said opponents - had said that Mn: King was the:. issue in this election and he was -content to have it so, as heconsideredhim a statesman to be proud of. He - took a fling at Premier Ferguson for hie part in the campaign, saying he ought to be attending to his own business, ,13e said the King Government had - re- duced taxation. at the same time as it reduced the national debt. 'Times were not so hard, conditions. in Can axle were better 'than in any country with the possible exception of France, and anyway, bad times never lasted very long. it was the intoe tion of - the Liberal Party to keep the British market open to Canada and he believed they were in a bet- ter position to do this than Mira Ben- netd, who would endeavor do "blast" his way into the 'world markets. He had. said at the outset of his speech .that he,'would indulge in 'no - disagreeable personalities but it seemed rather erlifficults for him to keephispromise and hed strop. d 1 ga y rnsihuate that 1VTx 'Bennett was . a friend of big leusinesa and, favoured the rich to the disadvantage of or- dinary folk. - ' He warmly appealed -for support for Mr. McMillan on Monday- - SOME MORE LETTUCE Not - to be outdone by a mere townsman, even though an exper- ienced gardener, Mr. Johit W. Bay- ley, who lives just outside the town limits, brought in . a head of lettuce on Tuesday which rivals those men- tioned by The News -Record last week, grown by Mr. ' Caninghame. - Mr. Bayley says he became so`,aceustom- ed to producing on a large scale while actually fanning that he can- not shake off the habit, even though he has practically retired.-' THE CLINTON NEW ERA JULY 24, i930 The New Era Est. 1868:a THE HOME PAPER HERE'S THE ANSWER • Last week a. friend of The News - Record asked a couple of questions to test the strength of the know- ledge of Dickens amongst our read- ers-. Ma. Walter Manning Lias -hand- ed in the correct answers. The first question was: "What was .the name of Sikes' bulldog—"Bullseye. Second: "State the components of the odour that assailed Mr. Peden -a -Ps delicate olfactory on his first interview with Mr. Montague Tigg".-"Several damp umbrellas, a barrel of beer, a easke of warns brandy and water and a small parlor full of stale tobacco smoke." Some mixture of odours, ' we should say. Not much wonder it should be remarked upon, "ALL SET" Five hundred and forty five can- . didates haver been nominated in the ' corning federal general election.

THE NOMINATION ? i Although the temperature was b high and no place was so comfort- able as a place in the open air and s the shade, hundreds of people, men, women and even little children, at.. tended the nomination meeting for South Huron, held ie the IIensail town hall on Monday iiftornoon. The hall was full to overflowing' w every inch ofspacebeing occupied, and many stood on the steps leading up to the hall during the entire per- c iod. h There aro those who say that wo- c Wren take no interest in polities, but c many women attended the gathering in Hensel on Monday afternoon and, s to all appearance, listened just as in- a telligently as the men to what the speakers had to say. Sonic women he came bringing their young children, probably because they could not c come otherwise. w Mr. 11 F.

FINE 'CHERRIES• ' Chief Stony has a fine cherry tree 'on his property in Princess street, a fine, large tree which grows fine, large, black cherries and an abun- dance of them.. So many cherries did it produce this year that the genial chief got rather tired picking them and this. morning he brought into - The News -Record office a couple of branches from the tree,- loaded with luscious fruit, saying: "Here's some cherries, you can pick them your- selves," And we did, with alacrity. As the tree is large we do not sup- pose the less rf .these two branches will injure its 'bearing capacity at all, hope. not, anyway. We shall re- member that cherry tree when next season comes around. AMONG THE CHURCHES Wesley -Willis United Church • Rev. J. E. Hogg will preach at both services on Sunday next.
