THO'SP TALL CANNAS Mr. ',E.'Paterson, local manager of the Royal Bank, who has a somewhat spacious' ]awn, bethought himself, last spring that he would grow some cannas in the centre of it. And he did. These cannes grew and grew, as no minas were ever known to grow before. They finally reached a height of 'seven feet or more and they looked very luxuriant. They were the wonder of many. But they idn't commence to bloom, very early,. ndeed,'only a couple of them put out a small bloom each, and then on Fri- day night the frost cut clown the stately growth and they areno more, 110. Paterson thinks he was too lavish with fertilizer when this bed was worked up and that is why the plants went to rank growth instead of putting out more bloom. But he will. be wiser next spring, No tea- cher like Old Professor Expaiience,, even though his tuition fees come high. . STATES CASE TO AUDIENCE WOULD REMEDY' ALL ILLS. ES WITTY SPERM On rising to speak Mr. Deachman• thanked the chairman' for his kinrt` introduction. It was a much •mere kindly one than many aeoorded him„ he said, as he was accustomed toe hear himself described as a "for- eigner." But he said as he was born' and spent about half hie life in Hu- ron County and he intended return- ing to make his home here after then election, he did not feel like a for- eigner. Mr. Deachman's address was al-. mostentirely made up of statistics, Ile was introduced by Dr. Shaw as an expert in political economy anct: he certainly seemed to have a great• flock of figures, showing that trade• had fallen off alarmingly during the • Bennett . regijme; exports„ imports, tradr t{g within the Dominion, goof- ing figures large and small to proves his contention. But it was something - like the ease of the school teaches, - was was reciting the commandments: at an institute meeting, there 'was. nobody present who could check him• up. He made the statement, how- ever, that if Canada could be put back ,into the prosperous times of 1926 that the Bennett policies, he ninety days, would put it where it is - today, economically. He outlined no plan for improvement except the slashing -of the tariffs; which he seemed to think would do the trick without delay and urged the return of the Liberal Party, "under which Canada always enjoyed prosperity." Col. Thompson proved a pleasing spealeer. He eulogized Mr. Deach-• nran and urged his election as repre- sentative ve for North IIuron, but he said he didn't come up here just be- cause he liked Mr. Nachman but because be wanted a change of gov- ernment so that he might again en- joy a bit of prosperity. He said he• had three • large farms in Halton- County altonCounty and that after he had paid' expenses last year he had only $100 - for himself. The Bennett Govern- ment was the worst one Canada had' ever had, he declared and he gave• some humourous pictures of the gov- ernment's endeavors to bring about a betterment in trade. He made the , audience laugh, which was all to the good, as they were pretty tired'. sitting so long. Mr. Scott. also spoke a few min- utes. Mr. Cameron Geddes or Lucknow, accompanied by Miss El- nora McInnis, sang a couple of rouse ing songs which were well received and the meeting was closed by three cheers and a tiger for the candidate. and the singing of the national ane thein. BRUCEFIELII Monday evening the Brucefied re• P.S. meoting was opened by singing "What a Friend we have in Jesus." The Scripture reading taken from John, Chapter 17, was read by Bill Pepper, followed by prayer by 110. Bremner. "Softly and Tenderly Jesus is calling" was then sung.
