Howard was dis ppited that he was not elected president a that august body. Or, it might be that he is peeved that George Pearce, of Siracoe, beat him to the silver mug, which Bill ason of Sudbury, donetee each year for the best all-round weekly. These may be the reasons or they may not. Perhaps Howard get tired of spending his vacations cleaning up the office, "dissing" the auctiun sale bills that were cluttering up "the stones," and giving the rollers on the big press their yearly scraping. It's hard to tell. It may be that Howard is going to accept the High Cornmiesionership in England. In that event he will be hob-norbbing with Jhn. Astor of the Times, Beaverbrook of The Express and Rothennere of The Daily Mail. He may have felt that if hie pals of the publishing businees learned that the new high commissioner owned a weekly in Ontario they might expect him to slip d -own. to Printing House Square some evening when they were rushed and help them out by setting a few "sticks" of type. Of course, we are not in the full confidence of Publisher Ferguson but we know a great many publishers and they are nearly always hard -up. Therefore, if Publisher Ferguson were not also premier of the province and a wealthy man, we might conclude that, having decided to take a jaunt over to Erope, he scaimed the hor- izon to see where he could scare up a few ducats. That is what most publishers have to do when they de- cide to take a little jaunt. Havine scanned the horizon, it rnight have oc- curred to the Publisher Ferguson that he was sick of newspapers anyway, especially dailies, and, more particu- larly a certain Toronto Daily. While in the mood he decided he might as well sell the old home town weekly, and give someone else a chance to work up an appetite on the Washington hand press. In any event The Kemptville Advance is sold ami no longer will the weekly boys be able to stick their feet up on How - a -rd's mahogany desk in Queen's Park, smoke his big cigars, and in that spir- it of fraternity which characterizes all gatherings of editors, discuss how much a name the Government should pay for voters' lists next election. CRT% Friday, November 21st. HEN WILL THE BOTTOM BE REACHED? The price of wheat reached the low- est record in a great many years, if not for all time in Canada, on Tues- day of this week, when it touched 55c on the Winnipeg market. At the same time wheat was sell- ing at 71c in Liverpool, which price, allowing for a earrying charge of 24e per bushel from the head of the lakes would make the selling price at Fort William 45c. Again the freight charges from the Western Provinces to Fort William would account for another tax of from 14c to 15c per bushel, which would set the price at 30c to 31c in the West. That is a price per bushel at which no farmer in this Province or any other nun afford to grow wheat. In fact it spells ruin for the Western farmer. We are told that the collapse of the wheat market is due to over produc- tion, and that is apparently so, as far as regards the people and coun- tries that possess a buying power. At the same time there are millions upon millions of people in foreign cenntries actually starving for this same wheat. The trouble is, they have no nveney to purchase it even at 30 cents per bushel. Just what the outcome will be no ene can prediet, but it is certainly a most serious, if not calamitous, sit- uation, and until the bottom is finally reached and prices start to cliM•3 very far up the ladder, the purchasing power of our Canadian farmers is not going to boom business much. the King was sung. 3lErs. Barker, a Brussels, was the speaker, taking as her subject, "Guests." Miss Jean Ackert sang a duet, "Sunrise and You."

ZURICH If YOUR money comes OUR way. it's mov. ing i n the right direction towards a Merry Christmas. Beattie' s Gift Store. There is a question often discussed to -day that two or three genevations ago, had no place in the realm of dis- cussion whatsoever. And the question is: How much in- come does a young couple actually need to possess, before they should get married? In speaking of this question, the Notes.—Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Green, Kitchener Record says: "In a dis- cussiorx last year it was concluded that $50 a week as the minhnum. This year, taldng cognizance of hard times, it is figured that matrimony could be attempted on as little as $40 a week. Some brave souls even put the figure a trifle lower." Forty dollars a week, forsooth. It is possible that all that money a week may be needee before a new household can be established: in the city of Kitchener and other cities of a greater Or less extent. But, if that sum had been set as the standard requirement for this and other country district, not two per cent. of the marriages that have been contracted during the past fifty years would have been solemnized, end at present prices, there could be no Mar- riages at all during this and the next few years to come. An income of forty dollars a week is enough to make our grandfathers, and even our fathers, turn in their afternoon from the home of her son- in-law and daughter, M. and Ms. Dan Dew, with whom she had made her borne after the death of her hus- band.

It is hoped that his condition will be- come more favorable in the near fu- ture. The fine weather of the past week has been .vry welcome to all.

Why there are men in this county, hundreds of them, who on their wed- ding day did not own a dollar. Their worldly possessions consisted of some bush land, a more or less strong body and a will to work. And, let it be said, the wives of these men possessed these qualities likewise, and with them the will to sacrifice and to save. And these same men, after clearing the land, raising a good sized family and giving each boy and girl a fair start in life, are still in the full enjoyment of a competency earned by labor. Forty dollars a week! Why our pioneer settlers, those who made till; Province what it is to -day, during the first year or so of their married life, did not possess an income of that amount in a year, not to mention a week. There were even timeer, doubt- less, when the settlers of half a town- ship would be put to it to gather a sum equal to forty dollars in csh. And to -day if a farmer was assur- ed of an income of forty &Pars a week, what a life farming would be. Ile wouldn't change places with a king. There must be more money in the cities. One can earn forty or fifty dollars a week there by working and when he can't or won't work the Gov- ernment and the Municipality will feed him anyway. Perhaps that is why cities continue to grow at the expense of the coun- try. The country, however, still possess- es one great advantage over the city, for young people, one can marry and live happily! ever after on an income of winch lets than forty dollars a eek, 1 NEW'F Moderately Price Our Wmen's Shoes are distinguished for their Style and Eleganee as well as for their Durability and Comfort.

TELEPHONE 11 OPPOSITE COMMERCIAL HOTEL Death of a Prominent Business Man of Hensalle-,Our .villagers were shocked en Tuesday afternoon last to learn of the -death of one of our very pioneer residents and business men, in the person of Me. Erastus Rennie, who had been a resident of our village for over 45 years and engaged in the general store business for all that time. He first joined the firm of Messrs. Coed, Renmie and Young, but afterwards bought out the shares of the late Richard Coed and also 4.1 Mr. Robert Young, who has been residing for many years in the West. Mr. Ren- nie was born in the Township of Hay and was the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rennie, late of Zurich, Ont., and came to Hensel' quite a yang mem, engaging in busi- ness. Not long after coming eere he was unite din marriage to Miss Jes- sie Chapman, a daughter of the late William Chapman, of the Township of Hay, who survives him, together with two daughters, Irma, Mrs, How- ard Harris, of Detroit; Ruth, 'Sirs. David Paisley, of Montreal, and Sam- uel, in the home, who has been in business with his father in ehe store here for a number of years. 'Ihe de- ceased was not only an enterprising merchant but one who took much in- terest in other matters being Secre- tary of the Canadian Order of For - resters for a number of years, also a member of the Hydro Comission, and one who from his youth, took a great interest in church matters, at- tending the services twice every Sun- day, as well as being a member of the choir and frore time to time tak- ing his turn as a leader of it, and was well and favorably known for many years as o-ne of the Methodist Church Quartette, who so often took parts in concerts, tea meetings and other functions, and filled importate posi- tions an the Church Board, as well as in the S-abbath school. Art the time of Ohurch Union he went with the Methodist Church in the Union and since then and to the time of his death was a very regular attendant at all the church services, and served in the work and organizations of the church in a most faithful and much appreci- ated manner. Mr. Rennie was sixty- six years of age and until the past year or so looked and felt very well, but for some time past his heath be- gan rroticeably to decline, and for a week or two before his death he was confined to his room. On Friday eve- ning last at the advice of nig local doctor and another, with whom he was in consultation, it was deemed advisable to take him to the Clinton Hospital, where it was hoped that more benefit could be secured than in any other way, but his health had become so much impaired that he was not in a fit condition to submit to any operation or x-ray examinant:re, and he passed away much mere quickly than could have been anticipated. In addition to his wife, daughters and son he leaves to mourn his death, seven sisters and two brothers their names being: MTS. Pauline, of Itegtna, Sask.; Mrs. Guenther, of Venice, Calif.; Mrs. Knectel, of St. Jacobs, Out.; Mrs. Stelck, of Dauphin, 'Man., Mrs. South - cote of Venice, Calif., and Miss Eliz- abeth, also at present of Venice, Col.; Milne R.

Sinclair, of the United Church, Hensel", who spoke in the highest terms of the deceased. The remeens were interre-d in the Hensall Union Cemetery, the floral tributes being many and most beautiful.
