EO COMPLAIN OF.
hi Ontario, are facing bard
Farm products are down to
lowest notch they have reached in
:se, lkeneration. The farmer has no
1),
money.
And, because the farmer has no
money, business is bad and collections
are next to impossible. Many busi-
,
nese men in the towns are facing a
crisis they have never had to face be-
fore. Many have already gone to the
wall. Many more will be forced to
the same destination.
Yes, times are hard. But we, in
Ontario, do not realize that there are
many people, even in this Canada of
ours, who are worse off than we are
—infinitely worse.
This week we were shown a private
letter from a writer living in one of
the Western Provinces. This writer
said that in their district there had
been plenty of wind and mud storms,
but no rain.
There were no crops, no flowers, no
gardens, no .vegetables. Everything
was burned brown, like the brown of
autumn, and no matter what changes
the weather made, there could now
be no growth this year.
They were allowed one pail of water
every three days from the only well
in the village, for drinking and house-
hold purposes. At night that well
was locked up, for fear some one
would steal the water, and it stayed
locked until the next day, when
strict watch would again be kept over

strong, poWerfnlneM and had been
in good health until a short time prior
to his death, at the residence of his
son at Flint. The funeral was held
from the Methodist Church at Carson-
ville on Friday last, and was largely
attended.
Broadfoot-Smith.—The marriage of
Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Smith, of York Street, London, to
Samuel Ray Broadfoot, of Seaforth,
son of Mr. and Mrs...W. S. Broadfoot,
was quietly solemnized at 3 o'clock
on Saturday afternoon at the King
Street United Church Parsonage,
London, by Rev. W. D. Mclntosh, D.D.
The bride was lovely in an eggshell
silk net dress embroidered in mauve
and yellow, with a two-tone mauve
satin girdle. Her lace hat was trim-
med with mauve ribbon to match the
girdle and she carried a shower bou-
quet of Pernet roses. There were no
attendants. Following the ceremony
a buffet luncheon was served at the
home of the bride's parents. Later
Mr. and Mrs. S. at Broadfoot left by
motor for Toronto and Buffalo, the
bride travelling in a printed crepe en-
semble in tones of brown and yellow
with a yellow hat and accessories to
match. On their return they will re-
side in that city. Among the out of
town guests were Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Broadfoot and family, Seaforth, and
Mr. and Mrs. Ross Broadfoot, Kippen.
it.
Those are facts, Read them over
again, and the next time you feel like
crying hard times, perhaps you will
remember them and hesitate before
you speak.
'The West is a big place, and, of
course, that is only one section in one
Province, but it is a large section,
and there are others, both in that
Province and the other Provinces of
the West just like it.
What a different picture Ontario
saresents. Ontario this year is like
the promised land, overflowing with
milk and honey. Crops, both in bulk
and quality, have rarely given such
promise; fruits, flowers, vegetables in
profusion. More than man or beast
can eat.
In spite of the cry of hard times,
we really haven't much to complain
of.
FAST WORK
Britain has established a new
world's record. Wool was clipped
from a sheep and turned into a suit
of clothes for Hon. J. H. Thomas in
three hours and twenty minutes.
Pretty fast work when you come to
think of it. But on the other hand,
think of what a wonderful business
that British firm would have if they
could keep up that record of produc-
tion and every one of their customers
was as prompt in meeting his pay-
ments as the Hon. Thomas is likely
to be.
MORE WHISKERS
In an Ontario daily newspaper we
read to -day that a special ordinance
has ordered the entire male population
of Centralia to grow whiskers between
the dates of July 8th and August 12th.
Somewhat startled, we read that
sentence over again, and then con-
tinued on to find the purpose of this
new edict was, the sponsors said, to
provide realisiri for 9e twentieth an-
nual Southwest Washington pioneer
picnic, on the latter date.
And then we found that the des-
patch hailed from Centralia, Wash-
ington State, U. S. A., and not from
our oiin Centralia down in Stephen
township.
But if our Huron Centralia wants
to put on an advertising stunt, one
that would draw business as well as
a crowd to their bright little town,
we don't believe they could do better
than follow the example of their
namesake across the line.
Even drawing a crowd to town is
no mean stunt these days.

prise, made a very able reply, in
which she expressed her sincerest ap-
preciation of the many kindnesses,
support and co-operation which had
been shown to her. She also stated
the value of the combined interests of
the Home and School in the welfare
of the pupil and the necessity more
than ever before of the careful edu-
catiortegf the child. Afterwards a
very delicious lunch was served by
the ladies. The remainder of the ev-
ening was spent in music and games.

Margaret Anderson, for many years
living at Hensall, but for past years
at Exeter with her bistere Mrs. Hun-
kings, where she passed away at the
good old age of over 80 years. The
deceased was highly respected for her'
many excellent qualities and lived a
very quiet Christian life. She was a
sister of Mrs. George Habkirk of our
village, and will be missed by her rel-
atives and friends.. An account of
the funeral appears in this column.
'The many flower beds in our village
at this time are being greatly admir-
ed as well as well kept lawns and
premises, for which our village is not-
ed.
Strawberries during the past week
have been brought to market in very
large quantities. The sample is good
and price very moderate.
Death of Richard Welsh.—On Sat-
urday night last Hensall lost one of
its very pioneer residents in the per-
son of the late Richard Welsh, an na-
tive of Merton,Devonshire, England,
who emigrated o this country over 50
years ago, remaining first for a short
time in Exeter and then moving to
Hensall, where he continued until his
death. The deceased was married in
England some 62 years ago to his wife
who survives him, and whose maiden
name was Miss Mary Jane Scott, a
native also of Merton, Devonshire,
Mr. Welsh going back to England to
bring her out to Canada a few years
after he first came out. The deceas-
ed was a carpenter, who built and as-
sisted in the building of many places
in Exeter and Hensall and was a No.1
mechanic, having learned his trade in
the Old Country. He was a most in-
dustrious man, taking in his advanced
life a great interest in gardening. He
was well read and very intelligent and
liked to engage in discussionS, was a
good friend and neighbor and was as-
sociated with the Methodist church in
past years, and previous to the union.
In politics he was a Reformer and well
posted on political and current events.
He had attained the good ripe age of
85 years, and until about six months
ago, was going around quite smart-
ly, being only confined for a month or
two to his room, the immediate cause
of his death being heart failure. The
funeral service which was a private
one, was conducted by Rev. Mr. Sin -
'Mrs. A•gur, who is within a few
weeks of her 100th birthday, was quite
poorly during the past week, but we
are pleased to learn is considerably
improved at time of writing, and it
is the most earnest wish of a host
of her friends that she will be spared
to reach the 100 years, which is a
most remarkable age that very few
reach and to also pass it with a good
degree of health for further years.
On Friday evening of this week on
the spacious grounds of the United
Church the annual congregational
strawberry festival will be held. A
novel and unique part of it will be the
preparing and serving solely by the
men of the church, who are anxious
to show the fair sex just what they
can do. They will be attired as wait-
ers at the tables and will leave noth-
ing undone to minister to the pleasure

Tonight is the family re -union. It has been a
weekly event ever since the young folk scattered
to various towns, each to make his or her own
way in the world.
It started when Dick left to work in a neighbor-
ing city. Dick was full of enthusiasm, but apt
to be just a little bit wild. So Dad started the
habit of calling him once a week just to keep
him under the parental influence.
Then Helen was married and moved aWay, and
mother must needs make weekly voice visits
with her.
And now Betty has taken a position in another
town. Her voice comes home each week too.
Dad and mother gather all the news and pass it
on to the others. It keeps the family together
--N‘a.nd the cost of the three evening calls is less
than a dollar.
