Morris Liberals will give a good ac
count of themselves on the 21st of
September. With reciprocity as the
issue the farmers of this township
should roll up a large majority for
Arch. Hislop, the Liberal candidate.
An old and highly esteemed resident
of the 3rd line responded to the roll
call of the skies on Friday evening,
Aug. 4th, in the person of Robert
Souch, who departed this life in his
83rd year. 7 or 8 years ago Mr. Souch
had a stroke of paralysis; 4 years later
lost his eyesight and during the past
year a cancer asserted itself. Toward
the close he was a patient but great
sufferer, and the summons to his eter-
nal Home was a great release desired by
him. The subject of this notice was
born at Hartland, Devonshire, England,
and on coming to Canada in 1832 with
his parents spent a while in Darling-
ton township, Durham Co., before
moving westward, over 50 years ago,
after his marriage to Miss Riggs, of
Enniskilllen, who predeceased him 17
years ago. They located on North la -
lot 19, con. 4, then a bush farm, upon
which farm they continuously resided
until called to "the Land that is fairer
than day." The surviving children
are: --Wm. J., on the homestead; Mrs.
H. Bone, Morris; Mrs. Geo. C. Lowry,
Brussels; Mrs. Robt. Forrest, Brant-
ford, and Miss Carrie, Seaforth. De-
ceased was a member of the Methodist
church, a Liberal in politics. a kind
father and a good neighbor. Ho was
one of 10 brothers, 2 of whom survive

IS IT WELL WITH THE FARM
[Weekly Sun.]
The only real opposition to the reci-
procity agreement comes from the
large cities. The moneyed interests
here say, "let well enough alone."
The politicians who are raising the
same cry are merely an echo of The
Interests.
It may be that things are "well
enough" with the large cities. The
population of the cities of Ontario, ac-
cording to the latest Provincial statis-
tics at hand, increased from 479,000
in 1898 to 655,000 in 1907. Here was
an increase of over 35 per cent. in ten
years. The population of Toronto
alone has just doubled in the last dec-
ade.
But how about the agricultural sec-
tions? Is it "well enough" with these?
The population of rural Ontario, ac-
cording to the Provincial statistics al-
ready quoted, was 1,111,090 in 1808;
it was 1,046,000 in 1907, a decrease of
65,000. An increase of considersbly
over one-third in the population of all
the cities of Ontario in ten years; a
decrease of well on to 100,000 in the
population of rural Ontario in the
same time.
It is not well with agriculture, the
basic industry of the Province. Reci-
procity, under which farmers will have
free access to the great markets of the
United States, will furnish a remedy.
Give it a trial.

A Profitable Exchange.
"I remember the conditions for
years before the McKinley bill was in-
troduced. This bill raised the duty on
barley from 10c to 30c a bushel. The
farmers of Wentworth and Brant coun-
ties previous to the passing of this bill
raised very large quantities of a super-,
for quality of barley. It was very
much desired and appreciated by brew-
ers not only in Canada but in the Uni-
ted States, and hundreds of thousands
of bushels were profitably grown and
shipped to the United States markets.
It is needless to say that the duty of
30c almost completely prohibited our
raising it to advantage for shipment to
United States markets. I firmly be-
lieve that the soil and climate, coupled

GROWING PLANTS.
They Give an Air of Refinement to a
Room.
Growing plants lend more charm to
a living or dining room than any other
sort of simple decoration, and it is a
matter of slight expense to have a .
number of these about the house. To
look really well the earthern jars which
contain them should be set into fancy
baskets. Among the inexpensive yet
artistic shapes are the baskets of
coarse willow stained dark brown.
green or gun metal.
One shape. with slender handle and
legs, suggests a wasps' nest; another
has a trelliswork over which a vine
might be trained. and a third is a
boat with a ren(,., rut, for a jar and
end dishes for holding moss ur ferns.
Finer baskets made of wistaria twigs
from .inpau are el"ve-ly \Pure" into
add shapes. and nearly all of these
have handles by whirl they tuay be -
hong up or over which vines may be
trained.
Decidedly more expensive ttmn the
willow and twig baskets are those of
French gilt. If the wicker is white
enameled these baskets accord per-
fectly with a Louis Wlniuze furnished
drawing room and may be rendered:
even more elaborate by the addition of
big bows and straps of cloth of gold
ribbon.
insomnia Remedies.
A sufferer from Insomnia says that
she was cured of sleeplessness by the
simplest means, that of eating a ravr
anion sandwich just before going to
bed.
Less disagreeable to some people is
another sandwich cure which has been
vouched for by an enthusiast It is:,
made by buttering thickly two thin:
slices of bread, then sprinkling them
with cayenne pepper. These sand-
wiches should be eaten just before
getting into bed, and sleep is said to•
