The Parliaments Have Been,.
Summoned
The 'Dominion Parliament, has beet
summoned to meet at • Ottawa on
January 25th, and the Ontario Leg-
islature, at Toronto, on January 31st.
(Both sessions give promise of be-
ing anything but tedious from the
viewpoint of the general public. At
Ottawa there is much 'business of im-
portance to 'be laid before the mem-
bers.
There is the revision of the Bank-
ing Act; the establishment of a Cen-
tral Bank; unemployment relief, the
tariff and a good many other things
that -will create more or less excite-
ment before they are fi 11y settled.
• And there will be. some pretty
pointed questions, which will demand
some pretty plain answers. Among
these will be, some about the Railway
Commission •to be. Where is it? Why
the delay it making the appoint-
ments?
Last session the railway legislation
was jamimled down' . the members
throats. They were told the appoint-
ment of a Board of Commissioners
was an immediate and vital neces-
sity. Without it the railways would
go to perdition and the country with
them. That was a year ago and the
country still lacks a ,Railway Com-
mission.
There is a possibility, too, that the
coming session will be the last one
of the present parliament. But that
of course, will rest upon circum-
stances. At the present time the go-
ing is none too good and Mr, Bennett
like Me. Henry, may decide to take
the time limit, with the 'hope that
something may turn up. That some.
thing to lee favorable, 'of course.
The situation at Toronto is a little
different. Mr. Henry has no choice.
With the doming session the Legis-
lature will have lived its life, dis-
solution and an election will have to
follow it before the year is out.
Newspaper report says that the
Government will bring down very lit-
tle new legislation and none of a
contentious nature.
-But even without new legislation.
the programme will be a full. one.
The last session of a Parliament or a
Legislature is always a fighting ses-
sion, and there is so much old mater-
ial out of which to make a real fight.
The reported surplus and how it
was arrived at, the Hydro, the taxes,
the increase in the public debt, the
increase in the Civil Service and the
reported increase in their pay, or
rather the refunds of the amounts
deducted from the salaries dining the
past two years.
!Why with the material already on
hand, there will be no need of beer
and urine to promise a lively session.
Taking It on `the Chin
There is a good deal mwore truth
than fiction in the statement of the
Chatham News, when it says; "A
North Carolina resident wants to ex-
change a $1400 violin for a farm. He
wouldn't be much better off. In either
case he would have to take it on the
chin."
.In these days taking fourteen h3rn-
dred dollars fora farm or a fourteen
hundred dollar violin for one either,
iz not by anyways as ridiculous as it
seems.
In fact here are a good many farm-
ers to -day w•ho would be glad to take
fourteen hundred dollars in cash for
their farms, and a good many other;
who would be willing to risk the
chance of realizing more from a four-
teen hundred dollar 'violin than they
we ld from their farms.
"liking it on the chin is about the
best thing the fanner hasbeen do-
ing for a few years past. However,
the is not the only one in that boat,
and he has this advantage, that no
/matter (what the price of land may
,drop to, it does not affect bis actual
living.
There are a good many farmers,
who a, few years ago were rich, but
zwho o -day, living on the same farms,
and with the some surroundings, are
poor, Land poor.
A few years ago an average farm
with avetw'ge (buildings would readily
bring seventy -eve to one hundred dol-
lars an acre. fib -day, Many of those
farmers who were considered rich,

.The W. M. S. and Ladies' Aid of
Duff's 'Church, (McKillop, held a so-
cial meeting at the home of Miss
Essie Dorrance on Wednesday, De-
comber 13th, with a full attendance.
The devotional part of the meeting
was taken by ,Mrs. Chester Hender-
soon The meeting opened by sing-
ing a hymn and Scripture reading by
Miss V. Murdie. Another hygttr, was
sung and Miss 'Es(Sie �Doxrant:e called
the roll, whi'c'h was answered by snit
able read5ngs and verses. Mrs, Rus-
all Dorrance favoured with a soto,.
Mists V. Murdie gave a reading, "The
Blessing of art o Mrs. Rlobert
Campbell gave a mouth organ select_
tion which was Much enjoyed. The
Circle report was given and proved
very satisfactory. A hymn was sung
and a social half hour was spent in
contests. Mrs. F. MoKercher closed
the meeting and a delicious potluck
lunch was then served,
the most discussed in all England.
W'hat a pityto put the organ up
above the choir, like something left
over with no place for it; so that it,•
hides the lovely window beyond. From
out of nowhere came .the -sound of
many little (voices, c each' like a dmf-
fled chime the boys' choir in
, y pro-
cessional.
The evening was still young acrd
one we journeyed to 'Salisbury. En
route, where do y'ou suppose we
found ourselves?—in Old Sarum, the
place that had 'm'ore votes than it
should have had! The story is that
Bishop Poore, contemplating the
erection of his church, had an arrow'
shot from the highest point in Old
Sarurn', and where it landed, he
built Salisbury Cathedral. Then the
town drew in its maidenly skirts and
settled within the sacred•,..•preninets.
I should think all the birds of the
air would long ago have 'en spear-
ed on the darning needle spire of the
cathedral.
ifIlere in. a w-ee village clinging to
the fringe of ISalislbvey, we have
pitched our tents for to -night. It
isbeauteous evening; I rust be out-
f( to feel it. ,As ever ---'Marion.
