Mitchell F. Hepburn, Leader of ,, n '-
the Ontario Liberals, repeated his ''°wers' the march and the music
stetement that if elected premier of
the province he would cut the cost
of administration 50 per cent. He
also stated he would not abolish all
.commissions but would reduce their
administrative costs. In answer to
Hon . Charles McCrae who spoke the
night before at St, Thomas he said he
favored the repeal of section 98 of
the Criminal Code of Canada and had
thus voted in the House of Com-
mons. This section, of which so
much has been heard lately, provides
jail terms for members of unlawful
.organizations which try to overthrow
government by force or terrorism.
The occasion of his speech was the
annual meeting of the North Huron
Liberal Association and as the new
-riding will include a part •of Bruce
and the loss of Goderich, a new As-
sociation for both provincial and fed-
eral ridings will be formed. The
Committee appointed for the associa-
tion to meet a committee from Bruce
for this purpose and W. T. Booth,
Wingham, Donald McLean, Ashfield;
sj. R. Wendt, Wroxeter and J. J. Rob-
ertson, Colborne. That portion of
Bruce which will be added are the
Townships of Carrick, Kinloss, Cul -
TOSS, Huron, and the villages of Rip-
ley, Lucknow, Teeswater and Mildeny.
H. B. Elliott, a Past President of
the Association, was chosen Chair -
Bruce, and former minister of Trade
and Commerce, spoke prior to„ Mr.
Hepburn, and was introduced by Ab-
ner Cosens, for many years an out-
standing Liberal in this riding. Mr.
21alecilm spoke in glowing terms of
Mr. Hepburn and said that the Lib-
erals were rallying to his banner
anore and more every day. Changes
as advocated by Mr. Hepburn and
Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King were
long overdue. Mr. Hepburn has be-
hind him to -day the youths of the

from the organ being the more in-
terestitg because it will be acocm-
panied by the singing of numerous
birds which are always a feature of
Flower Sunday.
The addition of a Junior Choir, the
singing of special numbers by child-
ren of the school and the actual
building of a bea,utiful floral emblem
at the altar as part of the service,
will be beautiful and impressive.

HORSE-SHOE TOSSERS
ELECT OFFICERS
The annual meeting of the Mait-
land Horse -Shoe Pitching Club was
held at their court on the Diagonal
Road last Wednesday evening. The
enthusiasm shown , by the members
assures the club of a very successful
season, The club had a membership
last year of 85 and this number is
expected to be greatly exceeded this
year. The pitching season has been
almost continuous this last year as
the court was in use the greater part
of the winter. Many of the younger''

and some of, the more experienced
people of Brick Church .will present their work.

splendid work the Institutes are do-
ing in giving clothing and fuel to the
needy during this depression period,
and what an asset the Women's In-
stitute is to any community. Mrs.
R. Davidson, in a few well-chosen
words, replied to this address. The
Women's Institute was organized 35
years ago and since that time has
been instituted in several countries.
Usefulness is the basis of Women's
Institutes. This is evident by the re-
lief work done by every branch in the
district. -Mrs. Davidson suggested,
that more Junior Institutes be organ-
ized and that the seniors give them
every assistance.
The afternoon session opened at
1.30 with community singing con-
ducted by. Miss Cora Phair. Two
Junior members from Dungannon
gave an instrumental duet. Mrs.
Dierlam, the Provincial Federation
representative, gave an address. She
spoke very encouragingly of the Wo-
men's Institates. There hes been 50
branches organized in Ontario this
year, the total number of branChes
in Ontario being 1300 with a mem-
bership of 40,000. Men from all over
the world are being sent to Ontario
to study the work of our Institutes.
The quartette from Blyth favored
with a musical number which was
followed with a Dress Parade by the
Junior members from Dungannon.
First, House Dresses, Second, Dress-
es for Church; Third, a Sport Outfit.
The President of the Goderich
