FO ti SNOWDON, k?roprietor, 0 General Observations The County Counciltwill meet for their first sessiou in 1924 on January 22nd, This is an important meeting as, the election of a Warden for the year. and the various committees, lave to be decided:- It has been the rale'that the Warden be elected alter- nately from the two political parties, This year the election is in the hands of the Conservatives and there is a strong feeling that the veteran Reeve of McKillop, Ir. F. j. McQuaid, should get the honors, Mr- McQuaid has had long experience in municipal affairs and possesses the ability and energy to devote himself to the work in sot t way that it i., carefully done,; Under ordinary circumstances there would hardly be any justification for the leader of the government picking ant a group as the official opposition, but in the case of the Ii.F,O. group as elected: in the. June, 1923, election, there can be no argument. They simply ceased to exist when, the U,F.O,convention in December voted that the U.F.O. was 'no longer in politics. Since that, the ' group no longer functions, but it was not Mr. Ferguson who pet them on the shelf. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS By W. H. T. 1924 begins in good wintry style, Last Sunday the people who pre- ' dieted a mild winter kept very quiet. The beautiful river Seine' is now in flood and is a menace to some parts of Paris. • What a pity that the Seine is not always sane. Lately, the thermometer has bean performingstunts that would in eredit to a Japanese acrobat. How strange that wheat can be battled at a profit from :Alberta to On the ,about $7.00 a ton, while cannot afford tp. haul eiiietance for 'I ss than Is there a colored per- nce? ,a** St,' Anne's is one of the splendid Anglican churches in the city of To- ronto, which has recently been re- decorated. Of the re -decorating and re -opening of this church, a Toronto paper has the following to say: "Two innovations that will create comment, mark the re -opening and anniversary services of St. Anne's An- glican church--tlrc scheme of decors- tion, and the participation in the ser- vices of other than Church of Eng- land clergymen. In this respect the rector, Canon Skey, in the parish magazine, says: "In accordance with our hope and belief in the ultimate triumph of Church Union, I have invited and se- cured the consent of four represen- tative men to preach each at one of the services on the four opening fl,- Sundays: The Rev. Trevor Davies, r ; D.D„ for the Methodist Church; the 1 Rev. John :4facNeil,'D.D., for the Ban- tist Church; the Rev. G. C. Pidgeon, D.D.. for the Presbyterian Church, and Canon Cody. .D. for the Church .D ) of England." • The innovation in thematter of dec- oration consisted of the rector and committee departing from the Gothic lines, usual in church decorations, ,n favor of the Byzantine. Now, to the writer, the style of dec- oration appears to be of no noose- enence whatever. The people who as- semble io this chinch to worship the Lord in spirit and itt truth, will be able to offer acceptable worship whe- ther the church be decorated in the Gothic, the Byzantine or any other style, or even if it be not decorated at all. Indeed, splendor of decoration may tend to distract rather than con- centrate'the thoughts of the devout worshipper. To the writer, the very head and front of Canon Skey's offending is his second innovation—tris inviting nein- Anglican ministers into his pulpit, The Canon Law of the Church of England forbids any clergyman to al- low a non -Anglican minister to oc copy his pulpit Without the consent of his bishop; and every Cihurch.of Eng- land clergyman at his ardination•sel- enrnly vows to obey the canon 'law aileeemset:y oilier'law, rue and regula- tion of the Church of England. Canon Skcy, therefore, in inviting'those three non -Anglican ministers to preach in his church, has violated the obligation Which he, took upon himself at his or- dination. It does net matter what his "hope and belief in the ultimate tris. uniph of Church Union" may be, the. Callen an whieh be engaged to pbcy, has not been changed, In these days when there Is altogether too little re- spect for law, whether human or di- vine, we look to the clergy - as e-. mimics of a scrupulous fidelity to their obligations, and of a perfect obsery ante of every law. The time many' come when the Church of England will see fit to open her pulpits to ministers of - other Churches, but until : that time has come, her ministers should not do as Canon Skey has done, We 'cannot but express our surprise that those three non -Anglican minis ters, each one prominent itt his de- nomination, should have accepted Canon Skey's invitation, We would have expected each one to reply to Canon Skey somewhat as follows: "No, my dear Canon, I cannot ac- cept your invitation, which you! could tender only by violating your Church's law, which you have solemnly engaged to observe, By accepting your invitation would make myself a party to your act, which cannot be any 'other than. wrong in the sight of God and matt."

Get on the field Just iia soon as the land Is dry enough to permit of cul- livation. Do not give the bindweed. a chance to make any early spring growth. If the held is in sod, plow :sallow. If the land was plowed last fall it will not be necessary to plow again this spring. Cultivate every week or ten days with a cultivator with broad pointe, that will cut all tee plants off en inch of two below the ground without bringing the creeping root -stalks to the surface. Continue cultivation until the 2415 of, May or let of Jett,. Theu plant corn in hills 42 inches apart ettelt way so that it eau be euiti(eLetl both ways.

The last thing in the fall rib up the land into drills, and allow to stand over winter. The frost in all probability will render material as- sistance in the eradication.
