Interesting lecture ittend- ed by large Audience The interesting and instructive lec* tare given on Sunday evening in Alex- ander Hall by Rev. Father Devine on the Early Jesuit hkartyrs^’ was at- tended by a large and appreciative audience which filled the hall to ca- pacity. Mayor Laurin occupied the chair, while His Lordship, Bisliop Couturier and Rev. Father Dev^e occupied pla- ces on the ple.lforip. ' The Bishop of Alexandria intioduced the speaker of the evening in his usual eloquent man- ner. In the course Of his short ad- dress he announced to those present the pleasant tidings that their pastor,' Rev. Father J. J. Macdonell was very- much improved in health, th^i news being received' with a hearty round of applause. Fathef Devine sketched a most lu- cid and comprehensive picture of the trials and sufferings T^ich the early Jesuit Fathers were forced to undergo in their endeavour to Christianize the North American Indians. He de?ilt in, a special manner with Hiose of, his Or- der who made their way into the wild- erness in the vicinity of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, where several of the Huron tribes were located. Cut off as they were from the frontier posts of Hochelaga and' Quebec, not only by the obstacles wliich nature had provided but by the hostile In- dians of the Iroquois tribes, these early*’ missionaries had to put up with pri- vations and difficulties until then un- heard of, the grrjtt majority eventually meeting death at the hands of the hostile savages. 4)etails of the tor- ture, inflicted upon the missionaries who'-fell into the hands of the I.'oquois as narrated by the lecturer served to give his audience some idea of the courage of these pioneers or the church. With the assistance of the Jesuit relations written by those mis- sionaries themselves, it «has been pos- sible to locate several of the posts at which thoyr laboured, and a movement is now on foot to erect a shriae in honour of these early martyrs on the site of their hearquarters in the Hurpn country. At; the conclusion of the address a vote of thanks was tendered to' Father Devine on the motion of Donald A. Macdonald, Barrister, seconded by J. A. R. Huqt. A number of well executed orchestra selections were rendered in the course •of the programme, and the evening was (brought to a clos^ by the singing of tne National Anthem. Former Glengarrian Dell in Montana Tied Up All Industries A valuable^contributor from time to time to this paper, in thé person i of Mr, John Mc^uslane, of Glasgow, Scot- land, while with his wife’* visiting at Karnes Kyles cf Bute, Scotland, writ- ing under the date of the 11th of May, gives us an insight into the general strike then in progress but since hap- pily concluded. He writes as follows: ^'No newspapers, save a sheet called ‘‘Emergency Press'’ have been pub- lished since the first of May and as my wife and I came down here on the 1st inst., we don't hear much about what is going on throughout the coun- try. “The steamer calls at Tighnabruich, distant about one mile from here, only three times weekly, carries no goods, no passengers. Even'were it pecessary for us to return to town, we would not manage it very well, as we might be stranded somewhere for want of communications." “The students our University are acting, meantime, as tramway drivers and conductors, and on Sun- -day last, under convoy of armoured cars, cavalry and mounted police, hundreds of lorries and other vehicles removed goods, unloaded at our docks without any unpleasant incident." “I understand from broadcasted re- ports that an augmented service start- ed today and' otjr government have de- termined that^ no attempt to raise pri- ces will be permitted as there is ireally no shortage of foodstuffs." ‘^One cannot,I however, help feeling a little anxious about the state of mat- ters, especially wheh wo a^e aware from the public utterances of some of the so éalled',Union leaders that noth- ing would 8ui\ these men better than a break-up of our constitution. This will not happen, however, as we are not all dumb driven cattle and our good old Union Jack will never ''be supplanted by the red rag of blood and plunder. God ^avo the King.’ ( 0 Services at St. Columba Ciiurch, Kirk Hiil The Sacrament of the Lord’s Sap- per will be observed in St. Columba. Church, at 11 o’clock out Sunday, June 13th. The preparatory ' service on. Friday evening at 7,30 will be con- ducted by the pastor, Rev. A. M. Lit- tle, 4>n Saturday morning at 11 o’clock. Mr. Archie Cameron, living 18 miles east of Brady, met instant death on Mo-nday afternoon, the 26th of April through being thrown from a discing machine and dragged a half a mile or more by his frightened horses. His head, neck and shoulders were badly lacerated. The unfortunate man w'as driving eight horses hitched to a dou- ble disc and was standing on the brace rod, when in some manner the horses started up thro-wing him for- ward, his feet catching in the brace rod of the disc and with^his head and shoulders under the forward disc, he was dragged that long distance before the horses were stopped. A bolt broke in the equalizer and leaders broke loose. His brother, Ranald and Ray Penix were at the time working in ad- joining fields and arrived at the scene of the accident within but a few min- utes, only to find Mr* Camron dead. ^ The body was removed to Conrad where Coroner B. E. Starr decided an inquest was not necessary. , Donald Cameron, another brother; residing at Brant, Alta., arrived in Conrad, Wednesday evening, follow- ing and next day the brothers removed the remains to Wilbur, Wn., their for- mer home, being joined at Spokane, by their sisters, Mrs. B. A. Le Faivre of Lacrosse, Mrs. Martin Johnson cf Cheney and- Mr. Le Faivre. At Wil- bur, Friday morning, they were inet by friends of the W.O.W. Lodge of which deceased was a member. The funeral services were held in the 8ah cred Heart Church, Sunday afternoon, being conducted by the Rev. Father Flavin. Friends from far and neat were in attendance. Interment was made in the Sherman cemetery. The pallbearers were Jack McNeil, John Johnson, Howard Portch, James Tufts, William Woldford and Joseph Wybormey. The following from a distance at- tended the funeral Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward Ring, Harrington; Allan Fraser, (uncle), St. Albert, Alta., Mrs. A: E. Loomis, Kellogg, Ida., Mrs. Roderick Fraser, the Misses Tena, Jessie and May Frfeseri,. and Mr. and Mrs. Mack Fraser, Creston, and A. M^ Robertson, of Belt, Mont. The late Mr. Cameron was a son of Hugh .Cameron and his wife Cath- erine Fraser ard was born on lot 15-9th Char., Glengarry, on the 22nd June, 1870. The family went West in 1891 and lived in the Sherinan community. Archie, the last to leave that vicinity owned the old place un- til some ten years ago when he joined his* brothers in Montana, all three owning. farms near Brady. Deceased was industrious, quiet and unassuming and was held in high esteem by his legion of friends. He was a nephew of the late Rod- erick Fraser of Creston, Wash., and accompanied him on one of his many visits To Glengarry, ' ^—0 « ' General Business in Canada More Active Dnring April General business in Canada was more active during April than in the preceding months of the present year, according ta reports received by the Dominion Bureau, of Statistics, Ottawa. The strength of the Canadian business situation was indicated by The decided increase in April of building contracts awarded, and permits granted, it is stated. , More active conditions ob- laiqed in the primary iron and steel industries. Industrial employment during April was maintained. ' 0 Tracing His lineage The |pllowing taken from the Sand Point news, in the Renfrew Mercury of May 28th, will be read wdtU inter- est by many Glengarriaus. “Mr. J. R. McDonald has been en- gaged for the last few weeks in the interesting avocation 'of tracing his lineage, and has succeeded with the assistance of a cousin in Milwaukee in following up the family tree back to the timà of the unlucky Prince Charlie into whose eau^e a remote grandfa- ther and no doubt the McDonald clan had cast their lot. On the defeat of the Stuart Royalists and the departure of Prince Charlie for France the Mc- Donald referred to followed him into exile. For sèven years McDonald was aii outlaw, with a price upon his head. Eventually he was pardoned, returning to Scotland, the laud of his birth. He enjoyed a pension from the British Government in money equal to the amount of seven dollars per day cf our money. It is understood that af- ter some time he exchanged the pen- sion for a stated sum of money and with that entered into business. The McDonald crest is still in existence but only copies of it are engraved on ar- ticles of silver, having descended from the late Alexander McDonnel, a grand- uncle of Mr, J. R. McDonald on the maternal side, who one might say, was the founder of Sand point, coming here in 1835. Mr. James Young also pos- AulU' Scots Songs Heard At Gatliering Ceieljrating the golden jubilee of the Sons of Scotland Society, whose headquarters in Toronto, close to five thousand people gathered at the Exhibition Park for the basket picnic on Saturday afternoon. An elaborate Scottish program was staged on the band stand, including a pipe band un- der the direction of Pipe-Major George Murray, which gave spirited selections of national Scottish music; 'Geo-rge Neil’s Scottish choir, who rendered many of the old Scotch folksongs, and Jack Robertson’s dancing trouj^e, who executed the intricate movements and steps of flings, strathspeys and reels gracefully and vivaciously. , Col. D. M. Robertson, Grand Chief of the order,, who had charge of the pro- ceedings, addressed th'e gathering. Making reference to those who found- ed the society 50 years ago, he traced its steady growth to the present day, proclaiming it to be the largest Scots society of any kind in the> world. Since its objects were benevolenfj be believed that it was serving a good and-useful purpose in Canada. Other speakers were: Col. Alexan- der Fraser, Judge John’ Tyler, F. S. Mearns, Sergt. D. W. Smith, the old- est living member of the society, and A. C. Gordon a past Chief of the or- der. Local societies from Brantford, Hamilton, Meaford, Acton, Wood- bridge, Richmond Hill and 'many other points w'efe represented by members. After tea folk dances were held on the green and in the hall.—Toronto Globe. 0Presbytery of Glengarry The Presbytery of Glengarry held a short session in St. John^s Church, Cornwall, on Wednesday 26th May. The chief item of business was a call from Knox Church, Monkton, in tlR Presbytery of Stratford, to th-e Rev. T. O. Miller. The call was signed by 194 members and 46 adherents and offered a salary of $1,800 with use of Manse and one month’s h*olidays. The following representatives from Gravel Hill and Monckland were heard, Mr, H. S. Ferguson, Mr. James Robinson, Mr. H. Gunn, and Mr. Isaac Robinson, all of whofn spoke of the faithful work done by Mr. Miller during his five ye^rs of service as their pastor. The call was then plac- ed in Mr. Miller’s hands and he was asked, to state his mind. Mr. Miller expressed his sincere regret at the prospect of severing his connecition with the Presbytery of Glengarry and with the congregation at Gravel Hill and Monckland amongst whom he had many warm friends, yet taking into consideration all sides of the question, he believed it to be-his duty to accept the call. Presbytery ^ accordingly agreed to grant the translation, Mr, Miller to be freed , from his present charge after i June 13th. Rev. A. D. Sutherland of Avonmore,i was appoint- ed interim—Moderator of Gravel, Hill and Monckland and instructed to de- clare the pulpit vacant on June 20th. How Siioüld We Know^ ? The Ontario legislature could greatly assist in the protection of motorists in their safety by giving the people en- lightment. How many of our readers at this moment know what changes have been made by the last session of the legislature in the rules of the road /for motorists? If you do not know, how are you going to find out? Last week we spoke of all laws in general but to clear up the matter we now single out the rules of the road. And this doesn’t affect motorists only, but also drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians which some of the new laws are aimed at. How much chance has a man got who is hailed to court for failing to ob- serve nües of the road who pleads ig- norance of the law and goodness knows, through no fault of his own. He has loss chance than the proverbial snow- ball in a place where the climate is considerably warmer than we are sub- ject to. To state it plain, the legisla- ture is alone responsible for such ig- norance and should inform and warn. Can one imagine' the ludicrousness, no the insult, of money paid in fines go ing into the coffers of the govprnment for fractions of laws passed by said government of which the ones fined had never heard a single word. And there is no excuse for the legislature. The newspapers regard such items as “good copy" to offer their readers and would publish it and the newspa- pers reach everybody. The people should demand that they be informed of changes made in all laws from year to year.—Kincardine Review-Reporter. Capping of Horses al Gl. Mary's (Montreal Gazette) The ceremony of capping the nurses who have finished their probiatianary period took place Sunday afternoon at St. Mary’s Hospital, in the presence of a large gathering of relatives of the nurses and friends of the hospital, with Rev.

Angus McDcn- ald, Elgin Street, for many years one of Alexandria’s most esteemed and influential citizens, passed peacefuli.v away at his residence here. In his departure the Town of Alexandria and the Country of Glengarry a whole as well as a wide circle of friends both in and outside of the County, I have suf ered a distinct loss. The ' many influential positions he had held both iin business and in munici-' pal and school affairs testified in no uncertain terms to the exacting de-^ maud's made upon him by his fêllo-w ! citizens by reason of his numerous aud diversified capabilities. j From Alexandria’s earliest days be-, fore it had even been incorporated as a village, the late Mr. McDonald prov-j ed am important factor in its progress aud advancement. His unfailing in- terest in' the town of his adoption was exemplified in a special kianner by the time and-energy devoted to its welfare j as Reeve and as a member of the vil- lage council and later of the town ' council, and as a trustee on the var-1 ious school boards. It is generally felt that he gave of his best for the com-| mon welfare, and though.at times hia work was criticised, he had the cour- age of his convictions and faced his duty squarely. By setting^ an hon- ourable example at all times he had the satisfaction of winning many friends who never swerved in their allegiance. His thorough knowledg^e and appreciation of the Gaelic langu- age both prose and verse was one of his accomjWishments which appealed to Glengarriaus generally and. enabled him to gather a fund of information as to the characteristics, attainments and difficulties of thei pioneers of this county. In politics he was a life-long Conservative, and in religion was a devout andi practical Catholic. ( The late Air. McDonald was bom on the 16th of October, 1844, at Pem- broke, Ont., being a sou of Malcolm McDonald and his wife Afary McDou- ' aid, who a few months later came to Glengarry taking up ' their residence on lot 15-lst Kenyon. ! Deceased attended the public school of the section and afterwards the Alexandria High School. He learned the trade of 'carriage making and blacksmithing with his uncle, John Kennedy,: and for a number of years Was a partner of the late Duncan McMillan. In 1888 he withdrew from the firm and took up the Coal and Insurance business which for many years he carried on with succes.s. In April, 1905, he was appointed Li- cense Inspector for Glengarry, resign- ing that position in 1919. On the 27th of November, 1871, he^ married Mary Kennedy, daughter of the late Duncan Kennedy of the 18th Lochiel, the ceremony being perform- ed ia St. Alexander Church, Lochiel by Rev. Alexander Maedonell after- wards first Bishop of Alexandria. Of their family of ten, his widow and four survive, two sona and two daughters, Donald A.', of Montreal, George D. of Rouyn, Que., Mrs. J. J. Morris, of Alexandria and Rev. SLstor Bibiana, of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Fulda, Minn. He also leaves two brothers and two sisters, Henry of Colorado, William of Newark, N.J., Mrs. AI. Donovan, Glen Roy and Mrs. M. A. Stanton, of Ottawa. Evidence of the est-eem in which the deceased was held and the warta sympathy entertained for the members of the family was shown by the re- pre8entati^^e gathering of friends and relatives at his funeral which was held Wednesday morning, from the family residence, Elgin Street East, to St. Finnan’s Cathedral, where Re- quiem High Mass was chanted by Rev. D. A. MePhee. The pallbearers were Messrs. James Kerr, F. T, Costello, Geo. Duvall, T. j;. Gormley, Sam Maedonell and Col. A. G. F. Alacdonald. Numerous floral and spiritual offer- ings, also telegrams of condolence were received bv the family. Fine Gkwing I Uy A. U. G. Cadets The annual inspection of the Alex- andria High School Cadets was made on the school grounds, by Capt. Heron, Inspector of Cadets, Kingston, on Fri- day i afternoon of last week. Some thirty-five answered the roll call and under Capt. Dougald p. Chisholm, with Sergeants Eddie Macdonald ajnd Leo- pold Lalonde as platoon commanders, underwent a thorough and decidedly satisfactory inspection. In fact it was generally conceded by Captain Heron and others who attended the function that not merely in drill, marching, deportment but in physical exercises as well,, they had made ex- cellent headway and Mr. Smith, their instructor, well deserved the compli- ments paid by Capt, Heron. A pleasing feature of the afternoon was the presentation of the bronze medal to Sergt. Eddie Macdonald as best shot in the Laura Secord competi- tion. ' lacrosse ALEXANDRIA 7—NATIONALS 5 The initial gsmé in the series of the United Countiep Lacrosse League was played on the Park Grounds, here, Satu^rday afternoon last, when the home team met the Nationals of Corn- wall and it is pleasing to note when the ball was faced that the attendance was well up to the average and that individual and team play was generous- ly recognized by applause. The visi- tors brought over a strong team and throughout the match kept the Alex- adria contingei^t alert and watchful, otherwise the score might'’ have been different. Despite a lack of condition our boys, without exception put up a good brand of lacrosse and the favorable wlork of D. Charlebois in the nets, a new- comer, was generally commended. The work of the defence was steady at àll times and could be depended upon, while the home played stellar lacrosse. When the final whistle blew the score stood 7 to 5 for Alexandria. To-morrow, Saturday afternoon, the Intermediates \will play here, the ball being faced around three o’clock and all who take in the game may be as- sured of an afternoon lOf good, clean sport at a nominal price of admission. Noted Osteopath Warns Unto Men Declaring that motorists frequently suffer from lumbago and sciatica, be- cause of the faulty construction of automobile seats, Dr. Riley D. Moore, noted osteopathic physician of Wash- ington, D. C., addressing the conven- tion of Ontario osteopaths, held at the HCity Club, Toronto, on Saturday, warn ed automobile manufacturers to pay more attention to this part'’of the car than they have in the past. The seats of cars, said he, were us- ually too deep* so that the motorist’s back was not properly supported. Sharply sloping front seats, those commonly used, he stated, put un4ue strain on the power parts of the spine and on the joints \vhero the hip bones joined the spine.

Heporl on Ciistoms Probe Most Conienlious Thing The Federal Parliament on Tuesday enters upon what its members hope is the last montli of this session with a considerable pile of work yet to be done. There arc at least three pieces of legislation which will require some time, namely, rural credits, the Camp- bell bill to amend Canada Grain Act, against which a formidable lobby has been at w’^ork for some days already, aud the measure dealing with soldiers’ land settlement. While the major fights on the first two will be in the standing committees, there is bound to be some debate the House. More rapid progress than had been antici- pated has been, made on the Budget ré- solutions,, and all that remains is pass- age of the amended proposal of Hon. George H. Boivin regarding taxation of stock companies. Hudson Bay Railway Question. Another free-for-all will take place, as in. two previous sessions, on the Hudson Bay Railway question. This time it wdll be precipitated by the item of $3,000,000 in the estimates of the Department of Railways aud (Gontinuert on Page 5)

Interesting lecture ittend- ed by large Audience

The interesting and instructive lec* tare given on Sunday evening in Alex- ander Hall by Rev. Father Devine on the Early Jesuit hkartyrs^’ was at- tended by a large and appreciative audience which filled the hall to ca- pacity.

Mayor Laurin occupied the chair, while His Lordship, Bisliop Couturier and Rev. Father Dev^e occupied pla- ces on the ple.lforip. ' The Bishop of Alexandria intioduced the speaker of the evening in his usual eloquent man- ner. In the course Of his short ad- dress he announced to those present the pleasant tidings that their pastor,' Rev. Father J. J. Macdonell was very- much improved in health, th^i news being received' with a hearty round of applause.

Fathef Devine sketched a most lu- cid and comprehensive picture of the trials and sufferings T^ich the early Jesuit Fathers were forced to undergo in their endeavour to Christianize the North American Indians. He de?ilt in, a special manner with Hiose of, his Or- der who made their way into the wild- erness in the vicinity of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, where several of the Huron tribes were located. Cut off as they were from the frontier posts of Hochelaga and' Quebec, not only by the obstacles wliich nature had provided but by the hostile In- dians of the Iroquois tribes, these early*’ missionaries had to put up with pri- vations and difficulties until then un- heard of, the grrjtt majority eventually meeting death at the hands of the hostile savages. 4)etails of the tor- ture, inflicted upon the missionaries who'-fell into the hands of the I.'oquois as narrated by the lecturer served to give his audience some idea of the courage of these pioneers or the church. With the assistance of the Jesuit relations written by those mis- sionaries themselves, it «has been pos- sible to locate several of the posts at which thoyr laboured, and a movement is now on foot to erect a shriae in honour of these early martyrs on the site of their hearquarters in the Hurpn country.

At; the conclusion of the address a vote of thanks was tendered to' Father Devine on the motion of Donald A. Macdonald, Barrister, seconded by J. A. R. Huqt.

A number of well executed orchestra selections were rendered in the course •of the programme, and the evening was (brought to a clos^ by the singing of tne National Anthem.

Former Glengarrian Dell in Montana

Tied Up All Industries A valuable^contributor from time to

time to this paper, in thé person i of Mr, John Mc^uslane, of Glasgow, Scot- land, while with his wife’* visiting at Karnes Kyles cf Bute, Scotland, writ- ing under the date of the 11th of May, gives us an insight into the general strike then in progress but since hap- pily concluded. He writes as follows:

^'No newspapers, save a sheet called ‘‘Emergency Press'’ have been pub- lished since the first of May and as my wife and I came down here on the 1st inst., we don't hear much about what is going on throughout the coun- try.

“The steamer calls at Tighnabruich, distant about one mile from here, only three times weekly, carries no goods, no passengers. Even'were it pecessary for us to return to town, we would not manage it very well, as we might be stranded somewhere for want of communications."

■“The students our University are acting, meantime, as tramway drivers and conductors, and on Sun- -day last, under convoy of armoured cars, cavalry and mounted police, hundreds of lorries and other vehicles removed goods, unloaded at our docks without any unpleasant incident."

“I understand from broadcasted re- ports that an augmented service start- ed today and' otjr government have de- termined that^ no attempt to raise pri- ces will be permitted as there is ireally no shortage of foodstuffs."

‘^One cannot,I however, help feeling a little anxious about the state of mat- ters, especially wheh wo a^e aware from the public utterances of some of the so éalled',Union leaders that noth- ing would 8ui\ these men better than a break-up of our constitution. This will not happen, however, as we are not all dumb driven cattle and our good old Union Jack will never ''be supplanted by the red rag of blood and plunder. God ^avo the King.’

A bolt broke in the equalizer and leaders broke loose. His brother, Ranald and Ray Penix were at the time working in ad- joining fields and arrived at the scene of the accident within but a few min-

utes, only to find Mr* Camron dead. ^ The body was removed to Conrad

where Coroner B. E. Starr decided an inquest was not necessary. ,

Tracing His lineage The |pllowing taken from the Sand

Point news, in the Renfrew Mercury of May 28th, will be read wdtU inter- est by many Glengarriaus.

“Mr. J. R. McDonald has been en- gaged for the last few weeks in the interesting avocation 'of tracing his lineage, and has succeeded with the assistance of a cousin in Milwaukee in following up the family tree back to the timà of the unlucky Prince Charlie into whose eau^e a remote grandfa- ther and no doubt the McDonald clan had cast their lot. On the defeat of the Stuart Royalists and the departure of Prince Charlie for France the Mc- Donald referred to followed him into exile. For sèven years McDonald was aii outlaw, with a price upon his head. Eventually he was pardoned, returning to Scotland, the laud of his birth. He enjoyed a pension from the British Government in money equal to the amount of seven dollars per day cf our money. It is understood that af- ter some time he exchanged the pen- sion for a stated sum of money and with that entered into business. The McDonald crest is still in existence but only copies of it are engraved on ar- ticles of silver, having descended from the late Alexander McDonnel, a grand- uncle of Mr, J. R. McDonald on the maternal side, who one might say, was the founder of Sand point, coming here in 1835. Mr. James Young also pos-

Ceieljrating the golden jubilee of the Sons of Scotland Society, whose headquarters in Toronto, close to five thousand people gathered at the Exhibition Park for the basket picnic on Saturday afternoon. An elaborate Scottish program was staged on the band stand, including a pipe band un- der the direction of Pipe-Major George Murray, which gave spirited selections of national Scottish music; 'Geo-rge Neil’s Scottish choir, who rendered many of the old Scotch folksongs, and Jack Robertson’s dancing trouj^e, who executed the intricate movements and steps of flings, strathspeys and reels gracefully and vivaciously. , Col. D. M. Robertson, Grand Chief of

the order,, who had charge of the pro- ceedings, addressed th'e gathering. Making reference to those who found- ed the society 50 years ago, he traced its steady growth to the present day, proclaiming it to be the largest Scots society of any kind in the> world.

Presbytery of Glengarry The Presbytery of Glengarry held

a short session in St. John^s Church, Cornwall, on Wednesday 26th May. The chief item of business was a call from Knox Church, Monkton, in tlR Presbytery of Stratford, to th-e Rev. T. O. Miller. The call was signed by 194 members and 46 adherents and offered a salary of $1,800 with use of Manse and one month’s h*olidays. The following representatives from Gravel Hill and Monckland were heard, Mr, H. S. Ferguson, Mr. James Robinson, Mr. H. Gunn, and Mr. Isaac Robinson, all of whofn spoke of the faithful work done by Mr. Miller during his five ye^rs of service as their pastor. The call was then plac- ed in Mr. Miller’s hands and he was asked, to state his mind. Mr. Miller expressed his sincere regret at the prospect of severing his connecition with the Presbytery of Glengarry and with the congregation at Gravel Hill and Monckland amongst whom he had many warm friends, yet taking into consideration all sides of the question, he believed it to be-his duty to accept the call. Presbytery ^ accordingly agreed to grant the translation, Mr, Miller to be freed , from his present charge after i June 13th. Rev. A. D. Sutherland of Avonmore,i was appoint- ed interim—Moderator of Gravel, Hill and Monckland and instructed to de- clare the pulpit vacant on June 20th.

How Siioüld We Know^ ? The Ontario legislature could greatly

assist in the protection of motorists in their safety by giving the people en- lightment. How many of our readers at this moment know what changes have been made by the last session of the legislature in the rules of the road /for motorists? If you do not know, how are you going to find out? Last week we spoke of all laws in general but to clear up the matter we now single out the rules of the road. And this doesn’t affect motorists only, but also drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians which some of the new laws are aimed at. How much chance has a man got who is hailed to court for failing to ob- serve nües of the road who pleads ig- norance of the law and goodness knows, through no fault of his own. He has loss chance than the proverbial snow- ball in a place where the climate is considerably warmer than we are sub- ject to. To state it plain, the legisla- ture is alone responsible for such ig- norance and should inform and warn. Can one imagine' the ludicrousness, no the insult, of money paid in fines go ing into the coffers of the govprnment for fractions of laws passed by said government of which the ones fined had never heard a single word. And there is no excuse for the legislature. The newspapers regard such items as “good copy" to offer their readers and would publish it and the newspa- pers reach everybody. The people should demand that they be informed of changes made in all laws from year to year.—Kincardine Review-Reporter.

Gbow Esieem for lale Angus licOonalil Fsq.

Ori Sunday last Air. Angus McDcn- ald, Elgin Street, for many years one of Alexandria’s most esteemed and influential citizens, passed peacefuli.v away at his residence here. In his departure the Town of Alexandria and the Country of Glengarry a» a whole as ■well as a wide circle of friends both in and outside of the County, I have suf ered a distinct loss. The ' many influential positions he had held both iin business and in munici-' pal and school affairs testified in no uncertain terms to the exacting de-^ maud's made upon him by his fêllo-w ! citizens by reason of his numerous aud diversified capabilities. j

From Alexandria’s earliest days be-, fore it had even been incorporated as • a village, the late Mr. McDonald prov-j ed am important factor in its progress aud advancement. His unfailing in- terest in' the town of his adoption was exemplified in a special kianner by the time and-energy devoted to its welfare j as Reeve and as a member of the vil- lage council and later of the town ' council, and as a trustee on the var-1 ious school boards. It is generally felt that he gave of his best for the com-| mon welfare, and though.at times hia work was criticised, he had the cour- age of his convictions and faced his duty squarely. By setting^ an hon- ourable example at all times he had the satisfaction of winning many friends who never swerved in their allegiance. His thorough knowledg^e and appreciation of the Gaelic langu- age both prose and verse was one of his accomjWishments which appealed to Glengarriaus generally and. enabled him to gather a fund of information as to the characteristics, attainments and difficulties of thei pioneers of this county. In politics he was a life-long Conservative, and in religion was a devout andi practical Catholic. (

The late Air. McDonald was bom on the 16th of October, 1844, at Pem- broke, Ont., being a sou of Malcolm McDonald and his wife Afary McDou- ' aid, who a few months later came to Glengarry taking up ' their residence on lot 15-lst Kenyon. !

Deceased attended the public school of the section and afterwards the Alexandria High School. He learned the trade of 'carriage making and blacksmithing with his uncle, John Kennedy,: and for a number of years Was a partner of the late Duncan McMillan. In 1888 he ■withdrew from the firm and took up the Coal and Insurance business which for many years he carried on with succes.s.

In April, 1905, he was appointed Li- cense Inspector for Glengarry, resign- ing that position in 1919.

On the 27th of November, 1871, he^ married Mary Kennedy, daughter of the late Duncan Kennedy of the 18th Lochiel, the ceremony being perform- ed ia St. Alexander Church, Lochiel by Rev. Alexander Maedonell after- wards first Bishop of Alexandria.

Of their family of ten, his widow and four survive, two sona and two daughters, Donald A.', of Montreal, George D. of Rouyn, Que., Mrs. J. J. Morris, of Alexandria and Rev. SLstor Bibiana, of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Fulda, Minn. He also leaves two brothers and two sisters, Henry of Colorado, William of Newark, N.J., Mrs. AI. Donovan, Glen Roy and Mrs. M. A. Stanton, of Ottawa.

Evidence of the est-eem in which the deceased was held and the warta sympathy entertained for the members of the family was shown by the re- pre8entati^^e gathering of friends and relatives at his funeral which was held Wednesday morning, from the family residence, Elgin Street East, to St. Finnan’s Cathedral, where Re- quiem High Mass was chanted by Rev. D. A. MePhee.

The pallbearers were Messrs. James Kerr, F. T, Costello, Geo. Duvall, T. j;. Gormley, Sam Maedonell and Col. A. G. F. Alacdonald.

Numerous floral and spiritual offer- ings, also telegrams of condolence were received bv the family.

Fine Gkwing I Uy A. U. G. Cadets

The annual inspection of the Alex- andria High School Cadets was made on the school grounds, by Capt. Heron, Inspector of Cadets, Kingston, on Fri- day i afternoon of last week. Some thirty-five answered the roll call and under Capt. Dougald p. Chisholm, with Sergeants Eddie Macdonald ajnd Leo- pold Lalonde as platoon commanders, underwent a thorough and decidedly satisfactory inspection. In fact it was generally conceded by Captain Heron and others who attended the function that not merely in drill, marching, deportment but in physical exercises as well,, they had made ex- cellent headway and Mr. Smith, their instructor, well deserved the compli- ments paid by Capt, Heron.

A pleasing feature of the afternoon was the presentation of the bronze medal to Sergt. Eddie Macdonald as best shot in the Laura Secord competi- tion. '

lacrosse ALEXANDRIA 7—NATIONALS 5 The initial gsmé in the series of the

United Countiep Lacrosse League was played on the Park Grounds, here, Satu^rday afternoon last, when the home team met the Nationals of Corn- wall and it is pleasing to note when the ball was faced that the attendance was well up to the average and that individual and team play was generous- ly recognized by applause. The visi- tors brought over a strong team and throughout the match kept the Alex- adria contingei^t alert and watchful, otherwise the score might'’ have been different.

Despite a lack of condition our boys, without exception put up a good brand of lacrosse and the favorable wlork of D. Charlebois in the nets, a new- comer, was generally commended. The work of the defence was steady at àll times and could be depended upon, while the home played stellar lacrosse.

When the final whistle blew the score stood 7 to 5 for Alexandria.

To-morrow, Saturday afternoon, the Intermediates \will play here, the ball being faced around three o’clock and all who take in the game may be as- sured of an afternoon lOf good, clean sport at a nominal price of admission.

Noted Osteopath Warns Unto Men

Declaring that motorists frequently suffer from lumbago and sciatica, be- cause of the faulty construction of automobile seats, Dr. Riley D. Moore, noted osteopathic physician of Wash- ington, D. C., addressing the conven- tion of Ontario osteopaths, held at the HCity Club, Toronto, on Saturday, warn ed automobile manufacturers to pay more attention to this part'’of the car than they have in the past.

The seats of cars, said he, were us- ually too deep* so that the motorist’s back was not properly supported. Sharply sloping front seats, those commonly used, he stated, put un4ue strain on the power parts of the spine and on the joints ■\vhero the hip bones joined the spine.

Heporl on Ciistoms Probe Most Conienlious Thing

The Federal Parliament on Tuesday enters upon what its members hope is the last montli of this session with a considerable pile of work yet to be done. There arc at least three pieces of legislation which will require some time, namely, rural credits, the Camp- bell bill to amend Canada Grain Act, against which a formidable lobby has been at ■w’^ork for some days already, aud the measure dealing ■with soldiers’ land settlement. While the major fights on the first two will be in the standing committees, there is bound to be some debate the House.

HAY CROPS FOR MAY AND JUNE SEEDING j

Farms ■without clover or alfalfa or having these in limited-quantities, frequently need quiek- groAving hay- crops. Where sweet éloA'er thri'ves, seeding it with oats early in the spring has proved a very satisfaetor}' means of providing hay for the next winter’s feeding. But satisfactory hay pro- ducers ^that can bci .seeded after corn j)lanting are a real need on many farms. '

Frequently the acreage in alfalfa or clover is reduced when spring shows a reduced stand. A dry winter and spring may cut the promised clover yield in half. Fields of clover and timothy intend- ed for hay may be required for pasture. These and other causes make the .seeding of crops for hay after com planting necessary.

What shall we seed? Shall it be cane, Avhich produces the largest yield of any of opr common forage crops? ShalLit be sudair, whose seedin'g ex- pense is loAV and that produces a liberal amount of fairly valuable feed? Shall it be soybeans, Avhich produce bet-^een one and two tons per acre of hay nearly equal to alfalfa? Shall it be millet, which can be sown up u^til July 15 and yet make à crop

roughage? Is a 'mixture or combination more valuable thaB ft single one' of these as a pjodueer of forage ? ' , ^ Cane, as the sweet sorghums are usually called is the best Avhen the largest amount of roughage from a small acreage is desired. , The , seeding cost is about the same as for soybeans— seed cost- ing .^.50 to $4.50 per cwt. this year. Cane should b'e'seeded ât the.ftt the rate of 70 to 8Q pounds per acre. With ligliter seeing the stems are _ doarsc and not eaten. It should be seeded late in May or during June, oh -well-prepated corn ground. It is really a fine crop to seed on a patch of rich ground on which the stand of corn is poor and_ re- planting is not advisable. It should be cut just as the seeds are beginning to harden. General prac- tice very commonly calls for delaying cutting un- til it becomes too well matured, with a consequent high percentage of unpalatable and woody fiber. Curing is slow. Putting in cocks for twe. to four weeks is best practice. Many leave in coeks till just before corn husking.» Slacking before it is thoroly cured results in damage from mouud and decay. I

Sudan Grass Is Satisfactory and Cheap Sudan is a rather satisfactory forage crop and

Qosts the least of any of the efficient, quick-produc- ing hay crops. Twenty pounds per acre is the best rate when sown alone. Seed cost this year is 8 to 10 dents a pound. A lighter seeding results

HOW TO PRODUCE CLEAN MILK

Twelve-year-old Raymond Slutz and 15-year- -old Bernadette Gowday of OJiio were each awarde'd a $150 collegiate scholarship by the Pittsburgh District Dairy Council for Avriting the best Quality Milk essa3’s in a contest held for jfarm boys and girls in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and northern West Virginia. FolloAving is Raymond Slutz’s prize Avinning letter:

“You sure AA'ould be surprised if you could see how Dad has' changed thing.s around here. But as you can’t come. I’ll do the best I can to tell about what j-ou wanted to knoAA-.

“You see Ave used to think that if milk looked clean ft Avas all right. Then Avhen dad found out about bacteria and hoAV milk that seemed to be O.K. wa.sn’t fit fr use he just made things hum around here for a fcAv daj's. He said his milk should be as clean as the best or he’d know the reason AA'hy.

“First AAm cleaned the barn from top to bottom. Every cobAveb Avas .SAvept doAATi and all the rubbish taken out and burned. That was a dandy bon- fire I'm telling you. Then Ave put in concrete floors and AvhiteAA'ashed all the Avails and stanchions. We put jn a coupiq more AvindoAA’s so the cows could liaA’é more light. ■ '

“Then Ave, were ready to begin on the COAA'S. All their udders and flanks were trimmed and every eoW Avas made as clean as possible. Dad said ill AA'ould be my job to see that they were kept that AA'aj’'. I have to see that they have clean bed- ding and all loose dirt brushed off before each milking. If 'there happens to be any dirt ' that Avon’t brush off, I have to Avash it off. It doesn’t take long if I get rigjit after it and the cows sure do look dandy.

Next dad sees that his hands and clothes are clean. He had always milked with dry brands, so ho AA’as all right there. Then he takes the inilk 'out of the stable as soon as it is milked, and cools it to about fifty degrees. After that, it is put on the stand in a nice shady place, covered, of course, so no dust Or dirt can get in the can, and then the hauler takes it to the station.

“I’A-e told j'ou about dad’s and my jobs and almost forgot to tell, what mother and the girls have to do Avith keeping our bacteria count IOAV. The pails, cans, strainers, and milk house are theirs to look after. Clean milk put in dirty pail or kept in a dirty place Avon’t stay clean. So they keep all the milking utensils bright and shiny. They also keep our milk room nice and clean.

It should hei' cut when not more than half the heads are in bloom. After blooming the woody fiber increases very rapidly. To a limited extent sudan has been used as pasture for as long as six weeks during July and August when the regular pastures were short, and then, produced a hay crop by late fall. In certain season^ this has proved highly satisfaet-

AMERICAN FOUL-BROOD THE ONE SERIOC.S DISEASE BEE-

KEEPERS MUST MEET.

Progress Is Being Made, But Further Co-operation 4\ith Goveminent Men Is Essential.

(Contributed by Ontario Department o£ ' Agriculture. Toronto.)

During the past three years there has been considerable investigation work in connection with the treat- ment of American fouibrood and Dr. J. C. Hutzelman, of Ohio, introduced a solution, composed of alcohol-for- malin, which has beeh used by many beekeepers to kill the spores and germs aousing American foul-brood in the drawn combs used by the bees.

In the late winter and early spring of 1924, Prof. Jones, of the Bacterl- oldfey Department, conducted a num- ber of laboratory experiments in con- nection with the treatment of Amer- ican fouibrood Infected èpmbs. Prc^, Jones used a number of well-known germicides and disinfectants, and* his conclusions were that, so far as Amer- ican fouibrood was concerned, the spores were very hard to kill. Prof. Jones found that a solution of for- malin and water; as well as alcohoi- formalln, gave positive results in igboratorj I*"*® former solu- tloq wÿ^mùçjjjnore_economical than alcohol-fcnmaliri.

In the summer of 1924 Mr. G. L. Jarvis, and in 1925 Mr. G. L. Jarvis and Mr. R. M. Pugh, of the Apicul- ture Department, carried out a num- ber of experiments'in the apiary, us- ing infected combs which had been treated with various strengths of for- malin and water and alcohol-forma- lin. Combless packages of bees, from the south, were placed - on these treated combs and results noted. This experiment will be conducted again in 19'26.

The results of the apiary experi- ments, thus far, show that there is a very serious danger when the bee- keeper saves infected brood combs for treatment with either alcohol- formalin or formalin-water solutions. In some cases American fouibrood has reappeared in some of the colo- nies having treated combs. Destroy AU Infected Combs,

The Department has come to tho conclusion that it will pay the bee- keepers to destroy all brood combs infected with American fdulbrood tor these reasons: (1) If the beekeeper keeps infected combs tor later treat- ment, his own and all healthy colo- nies in a radium of two or three miles are in danger of becoming in- fected; (2) the cost of the equipment and solution is prohibitive unless a thousand or more combs are to b^ treated; (3) we are not yet satisfied that we can treat Infected brood combs with 100 per cent, effective- ness. In view of these facts the De- partment, at present, is urging bee- keepers to destroy, by burning, all Infected brood combs.

The treatment of super combs, used over an Infected colony. Is somewhat different. In these combs there are no scales of American foul- brood present and our experiments show that these combs can be effec- tively treated with a 20 per cent, formalin-water treatment. Eradicate—Not Control.

With the positive knowledge that beekeepers can effectively treat all super combs, which have been used over Infected colonies, the Depart- ment is changing its method of apiary inspection work, and last year an ef- fort was made to eradicate, not con- trol, American fouibrood in the counties of Hastings, Peterborough, Northumberland and Prince Edward. The results show that 5,003 colonies were examined, 617 were found in- fected with American fouibrood and the contents of these infected colo- les were destroyed by burning. This burning of over 66 colonies In these counties mig|;t appear to be a serious loss, but it must be remembered that a colony with American fouibrood soon ceases to produce a surplus oT honey and, while it remains, it is a menace to Ml other healthy colonies in the vicinity. Once American foul- brood is cleaned out. then the bee- keeper can go ahead and keep bees more profitably and tuora economic- ally.

The Department hopes to bring other counties Into this clean-up cam- paign in 1926 and gradually widen the campaign until the whole pro- vince is included. To make the work as effective as possible, the Foul- brood Act has a quarantine measure which will prohibit a beekeeper mov- ing any but combless bees or inspect- ed healthy colonies into those coun- ties where a clean-up of American fouibrood has taken place.—Apicul- ture Department, O. A. College.

Attractiveness of the Country Home., A boy whose early years are spent

in the country will fondly remember his youthful experiences and animal companions. Country life to the young lad is a life rich with happy associations, and so different to the youth of the town boy who has been deprived of the green fields, thè for- est and the farmstead associations.

The Ontario farm boy is alert, eager, questioning and he will face the direction of most vital interest as it appears to him—the city, if it offers the greater thrill and oppor- tunity, or the green fields and mea- dows if they attract with sufllcient force to satisfy the pulse of youth. The appeal to go or the Impulse to remain must stir his blood and pro- mise a victory. Attractive home sur- roundings Avlll hold the youth as a magnet and reduce the pull of the tar away and often imagined oppor- tunities of the city.

Make the surroundings of the eountry home attractive, with* human kindness and the beauty of natural things, that environment may exert its strong Influence in retaining the routh on the land.—L. Sfivnsbn, [itrector or Extension, 0. A. College.

Sentence Wiped Out By Smith’s Release

Hon. "W. F. Xickle, Attorney-Gen-' oral still holds'to the belief that re- lease of Peter Smith, former Provin- cial Treasurer, from prison, which took place ^fonday nullifies the .$100.000 fine which stands against the latter.

*^In my view,’^ said Mr. Mickle, Saturday, in supplementing his earlier comment on the case, ‘^all the balance of Mr. Smith’s sentence is wiped out by any release, either by pardon or ticket of leave. That is^, the fine of $100,000 is nullified by the release. And once released, the former Min- ister is under no legal obligation to either pay the fine imposed iby the court and confirmed in appeal, or to make restitution to the Province.”

While recent press dispatches from Ottawa and Kingston have intimated that the Minister of Justice would not authorize Mr. Smith 's release until ap- proval had been received from tho Ontario* Government.- Mr. Mickle said that ts far as he could recall, ‘j'therc’ was no understanding to the jeffect' that Mr. Smith would not be released without^ our consent.”

But, he pointed out, the attitude of the Provincial Government always had been that no clemency should be shown the' former provincial Treasurer until substantial restitution had been made by bam of moneys illegally obtained.

OUTWITTING THE CUCUMBEE PEST

Plant your cucumbers in the potato patch ■where hills of potatoes are missing and the striped beetles and the worms that bore into the root may be cheated years ago. We tried it and raised a nice lot of pickles with little bother from either the beetle or worms. We also applied arsenate of lead when we, sprayed the potatoes for bugs and once afterward. The cucumber vines are rather scattered and the insects seem to be less effective or bothersome when the plants are not buhchad to- gether. We have followed this practice since our

, first trial and alscf used it for squashe* At least, ; we have raised cucumbers and squashes each year, and we didn’t before.

Neighbors have tried this method also and with the same results. We follow the practice of put- ting in more hills seattereji thru the potatoes than we used to plant when we ^u^ them in a close group, on the theory that even if part of them were killed or didn’t produce abundantly, there would still be enough. Another, advantage ■vsitli this me- thod of planting is that these vine crops use no ad- ditional space. They fit in nicely with potatoes as their growth comes largely after July 1, while with potatoes there is little growtlv of vines after that time. Wo do not plant the cucumbers until June 1 or^ter.—J.W. ^—o— ROOMS BOYS LIKE

GARDEN ITEMS

Boys like to have a good-looking and eom- (fortable room. Because son scorns frills and dainti- ness, many mothers make the mistake of thinking that anything is good enough for the boy’s room.

Most boys like plain, strong,' painted furniture. . Almost any home holds substantial pieces of furni-

ture that can be unified by,suitable paint into hight ly satisfactory furnishings for the boy’s rooom.

Boys do not take kindly to curtains. They like the windows open, plenty of light and sun- shine; mother knows too well that boy’s window shades are usually rolled crookedly and high and the draperies twisted out of the- way behind the radiator or bureau; curtkins to him ha-ye one use— a means of acquiring privacy when privacy, i» ex- pedient. Boys usually like having just one set of curtains of rather heavy and light-proof jnaterial , such as denim attached to a stout wood pole by means of easy-runhing brass rings; such curtains are readily pushed out of the way when not needed and just as readily pulled across the window when desired.

Boys invariably vote for a bedspread and bur- eau covers that.“don’t show dirt,” yet they ■\vîU just as invariably choose A pretty one if given an opportunity. Denim like ^ the curtains is a good choice ;>it can be found in pretty shades and colors in plain figured designs. The kind of bedspread, you know, where a fellow can sprawl comfortably with a book or the pup can take -a nap, without its being in the nature qf a»c^amity!

Boys prefer blankets as bed covers and plenty of them. With, a plain bedspread, good springs and mattress, army blankets and a sensible spread, moat boys enjoy,making their own bed, barrack fashion.

- Strong, comfortable chairs—no “crips” or wobbly little rockers! No “knick-knacks” clutter- ing ’round because they are supposed to be pretty. A plain wall will eventually be hung with gay pic- turees and posters.

A boy appreciates a good mirror as much as his sister does , Boys have neckwear to adjust and shaving to contemplate and other sartorial inter- ests. And, don’t smile skeptically, mother, boys like a place for things— a closet or wardrobe with plenty of hapgers, drawers and shelves and a roomy table or desk. Boys always have a lot of things ^ “keep.” True, he may have a collection of bird’s eggs in the drawer that you think suited to neek-- ties, but he appreciates the drawer none the less.

Boys like to have a place—drawer, cupboard or desk— that can be “locked up.” It gives a feeling of security and maturity and well-being; a place where he can keep his private accounts and the things that he deeply desires to sho-u" to the wobld and yett temporarily lacks the courage to display.

We all want the boys to stay at home. We can at least make them feel contented by giving them the sort of room they like. o

NEW USES FOE NEWSPAPERS

When the average man has finished reading his daily or weekly newspaper he regards it as be- ing of little more uso unless, perhaps, for the light- ing of fires. But for a woman the uses to Which a newspaper can be put are -(vcllnigh endless. They are such splendid things with which to wipe off the top of a dusty or greasy stove, and if a greasy pan is first wiped with a piece of old newspaper it is much more easily washed and the task made con- siderably less disagreeable. Another advantage is that the paper can be immediately burned where if the dish mop does the deed a great deal of extra labour is neeessarjv to rid it of the clinging grease. "Vegetables can be prepared on a newspaper and when the peeling and- cleaning is done, the scraps are easily rolled up in the paper all ready for the garbage tin. Newspapers will keep the kitchen ta- ■ble clean when any mussy work such as silyer clean- ing is in progress, and when shoes are to "bo- shined a newspaper placed beneath them will catch all daubs. After a floor has been sorubed, if news- papers are laid over it for'several hours until the wood is thoroughly dry it will not mark so easily and in the same way newspapers will do much to protect a floor or furniture when painting or de- corating is being done. Newspapers used as cov- ering for shelves or for wrapping furs and woollens which are to be imt away for the summer are an al- most certain preventative of destruction b.v moths. If each article is wrapi)ed separately and com- pletely in newspaper and then all placed together in a big factory cotton bag the -moth that gets in must be of an unusuall.v hardy and iiersistent type.

Plant on side, six inches deep in light- soil and little .shallower in claj^ loam. Divide clumps before planting. One small tuber with a sprout or eye -will give boDcr results than a clump. When watering give the soil around the plant à reliai- soaking, then let alone for sev- eral days. Daily sprinkling is harmful. Larger flowers will result if side buds are pinche'd off and the plant tied to a stake, but if bushy plants with plenty of small blooms ae wanted, do not touch. Tomatoes. j .

Tomatoes should be put in this week. If tl’ere should be any danger of frost loter, cover with newspaper or flower pots. Best results in small gardens are obta.ii^d by shaking. Use stakes six to eight feet high, drive Tirmly in the ground, then set tomato plant within an inch or so of the bot- tom. Keep all side shoots pinched off and tie main stem about ever.v foot to stake. Wlien stem reaches top stake, pinch off end to encourage ripen- ing of fruit. For a fe-w early tomatoes select large stocky plants preferably grown in individual pots. These can be planted out even after the first bunches of-fruit, are fprmed. If there is any dan- ger of cut worms, place a paper collar , about each plant. This should extend an inch into the ground and t-svo inches above. In large gardens use |)ois- oned bran. Gladiolus.

, In planting the gladiplus exarhine corms or (bulbs for signs of rot. Clean off the husk and if any black spots are found on the outside of the eorm, it is better to discard Some gardeners take the precaution of dipping all healthy corms in ,a 5 per cent, solution of formalin for 30 minutes. A-<oid affected soil, and use particular care in examining new stock. Timely Hints.'

If the birds are eating fhe lettuce cover the same with a light lattice or a strip of chicken 'wire. This will scare 'them away.

Plant cosmos along the fence and be ready to tie it up when it gets a couple of feet tall.

Four 0 ’clock seed for a row along a walk should be planted immediately. Plant two seeds a foot apart and pull up one plant if both come up. y

Yellow Potidero.sa tomatoes seem to have made Considerable strides in popularity in the last few years. They add color to a salad, pickles or pre- serves. With the Sweet Peas.

As soon as the sweet-pea plants are up an inch or so, as the case may be, keep the hoe going. Con- stant cultivation is the price of a good showing of sweet peas. Do hot let them lack for water, but do not sprinkle them. Give them a real soaking, and then don’t water them for several days. A little good fertilizer sprinkled along the row, just before the buds begin to swell, and well watered in, will help the plants a great deal and will a-dd to the depth of the. color of the flowers. Shade-Loving Flowers?

Brightening up the sliady corners of the flow- er garden is usually quite a problem, although many annuals actually prefer to be away from the sun part of the time. Of course, it is almost impossi- ble to get anything to grow 'in a spot which is without sunshine during the whole of the day, ex- cept, perhaps, ferns; but the following will do well in partial shade.- Alyssum, candytuft, clarkia, go- detia, larkspur, lupine. Marvel of peru, nemophila, nieotiana, pansy, phlox and verbena. Summer Care of Roses.

Until the first of July new and established roses can be helped along- by surface applications of quick-acting fertilizers, such as nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, or acid phosphate. Use a scant tablespoonful of any of these fertilizers, and dig it in lightly around, but not touching the plant. One or two applications a fortnight apart are suf- ficient. After July, according to A. H. Tomlinson, O.A.C., Guelphj onl.y slow-acting fertilizers, such as bone-meal and potash, should be given. Phos- phates, and particularly potash, are needed on muck and sandy soils. Too much nitrate will make the plants more susceptible to attacks of fungi. Wood ashes, which supply potash, may be applied at any time. Weak liquid manure is valuable To be safe, it is well to •cease all deep forking after the roses become settled, but .shallow cultivation is ad- visable. A few low-growing plants, such as pan- sies, growing about the roots, after the bed is estab- lished, is an advantage. ^ 0 —

KURDISH TRIBESMEN.

Live on .Their Flocks and by Hunting In the Wild Mountain V'alleys.

The Kurds are racially quite dis- tinct from the .-ersians and have rarely been submissive to the central government. They are in reality seinl- barbaric, nomadic tribes that live on their flocks and by hunting in, the wild mountain valleys. They ha-ya their own national costume, which Is perhaps the most piQturesque in all Persia, says the National Geographic Magazine.

Almost always armed to the teeth, these tribesmen look particularly ro- mantic when dashing down a bowl- der-strewn hillside on their sure-foot- ed ponies; the gleam of a rifle slung over a shoulder; flowing purple tur- ban loosely bound around a huge black felt hat; broad, colorful scarf about the waist, half hiding two or even three bandoliers and above which projects hilts of a knife and a locally made revolver or perhaps a German automatic Mauser; baggy trousers, gayly taSselled and embroi- dered saddle cloths, and a certain air of bravado withal that vividly recalls an Oriental, a more brilliant Velhs- quez, or those gallantly attired heroes so naively shown In old Persian min- iatures.

The Kurdish women are generally sombre In dress, but do not hide the beauty of their faces under veils as strictly as the Persian woman.

We were, however, lucky In see- ing a gathering all decked out In their Sunday best. The occasion was a wedding.

It was evening. I was seated on a grave-stone, painting the dilapidated town of Kasr-i-Shirin, sprawled out over the bro-w of the opposite hill, ending In the ruins of a third-century castle. I could look Into a courtyard over the inclosing walls and see a noisy wedding crowd.

"Hi, ya, ya, ya, ya,” the women cried, emphasizing the first and last .syllables, to the accompaniment of a big drum. •

There was an orchestra, too, con^ sisting of four weird Instruments—a guitar-violin; a piccolo-flute, a six- foot brass trombo-horn, and kettle drums—which -vvere being played ap- parently at random and Intey- mittenpy. ' Now and then one or more of the players would stop for refreshments, and then resume hastily and with much added gusto, catching up, I suppose, the part of the unwritten score tliat he had missed!

Finally a group of men guests left the wedding, trotting down the hill, still keeping in step and singing In uiison that monotonous refrain of the Kurdish wedding march.

WATCH THE OILY TH

Summer seems long- in coming but it is just around the corner after all, and vvitli. the intensely liot daj's comes the menace of the summer fires. A little study of records will show that those fre- quontlj' have their origin in small, stuffy cuitboards or corners where an oil-soaked brush or elotli has been stored away and forgotten. Now, during- house cleaning season, is the time to hunt these out and find safe places for their keeping.

THE DEAD SEA.

This Body of Water Contains Many Valuable Mineral Products.

A scheme in in contemplation to exploit the valuable mineral products that lie burled in the Dead Sea and in the Holy Land.

A rich stratum of gypsum has been discovered In the Jordan Valley; phosphate of lime in Judeau; peat In the marshes of Huleh; and petro- leum beds between Yarmuk and the Dead Sea.

This ancient thland sea — under which, legend says, lie burled the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah —fills a part of the deepest chasm on earth, being approximately 680 feet below sea level. It receives from the river Jordan and other streams that flow Into It about 6,000,000 gal- lons of water a day.

The sea contains 24 per cent, of salt and. In consequence, is so buoy- ant that- a person can float on Its surface without exertion of any -kind. Fish, because of the amount of chlor- ide and bromide of magnesia, cannot live In Us waters. Ships of any kind are rarely seen, and at one time there was a belief—partly owing to the an- cient superstition concerning Sodom and Gomorrah, and partly to the fact that there Is no bird life in the vl- clnlty-ythat even the air around the g^eat lake was poisonous.

Investigators have refuted the leg- end that the sea covers the cities of Sodom ^nd Gomorrah, but there are people who claim to see In Its depths the remains of ancient palaces; and a' pillar that stands beside a rock of pure salt flve miles long and 300 feet high is still believed by many to be the remains of Lot’s wife.

Several attempts to explore the Dead Sea has been made during the last century, the most successful be-

-Ing that of Commander W. F. Lynch, who, In April, 1847, thoroughly ex- plored the whole of the area. Later scientific study was based upon his observations.

Origin of Colors. Turkey, red Is made from the mad-

der plant, growing In Hindustan. The exquisite Prussian blue comes

from fusing horses’ hoofs and other refuse animal matter -with Impure potassium carbonate.

Gamboge' is from the yellow sap of a tree In Slam.

Indian ink is made from burned camphor.

Mastic comes from the gum of the mastic tree, which grows in Greece.

Raw sienna Is the natural earth from the neighborhood of Sienna, Italy; and umber is an earth found near Umbria.

Blue-black comes from the char- coal of the vine stock.

The camel furnishes Indian yellow, and the cuttle-fish gives sepia, which is an Inky fluid that the fish, when attacked, discharges to make the water opaque.

Bistre Is the soot of wool ashes. Scarlet is iodide of mercury, Vermil- lion is from the -ore cinnabar, and the Chinese white is zinc.

The gorgeous carmine, crimson, scarlet-carmine, and purple lakes are fufnished by the cochineal insects.

Sui-e. A pompons lady was discus.sing

with a literary friend some eccen- tricities of the English language. “Is it not strange,’’ s^he asked, “that ‘sugar’ is the only word in our lan- guage where an ‘s’ and a ‘u’ come together and are pronounced ‘Sh’?’’

"Sure," replied her friend.

The Ladies Aid Society of the Presby- terian Church, Màxville, on Fridây evening, June 18th at 7.30. Further notice will be given later.

It is a source of sincere gratitude for their mahy friends to know that Miss Lillian McEwen and Mr. Ross McDougall who underwent operations in the Civic Hospital, Ottawa and the Cornwall General Hospital ,respective ly, have recovered so far as to be able to return to their homes.

Officials of the Counties Engineer’s Dept, arrived here on Tuesday for the purpose of taking measurements and performing other preliminaries ‘ pre- paratory for the building of the new penetration road through town. The work will be proceeded with at once.

■Just whether the correspondent last week who forwarded the item' re Mr. Fred Pickerd of Galetta, Ont.,—des- cribing him as a benedict—was at- tempting a crude joke, or the proof reader was afflicted - with the spring feeling, we cannot say. Suffice to note that friend Fred has not yet reached that blissful stage.

The Court of Revision met'on Mon- day evening, there being only a few minor changes to be made in the Ass- essment Roll. After adjournment the Council met and accepted the offer of Harris MacKeen & Co., of Toronto for $30Û0.00 Local Improvement Deb- entures. Their bid was $100.28 and accrued interest.

1 It is with sincere regret that the citizens of Maxville learned of the death (<f Mr. Angus McDonald cf Alexandria. Through his business ac- tivities and in the discharge of try- ing public duties, we knew him as a man of unquestioned honesty and feftr- lessness—a Christian citizen. And in his passing Glengarry has lost a son whose life was well spent>

At a special meeting of the Wo- men’s Institute held on Thiesday after- noon, the speaker was Miss Harcourt, R.N.j. government lecturer. Her ad- dress which was intensely interesting dealt particularly with 'Child Wel- fare”, a work in which she has spe- cialized for a number of years.

WOMEN’S INSTITUTE The annual meeting of the Maxville

Branch of the Glengarry Women’s In- stitute was held on Saturday, May 29th, with a good attendance. The following officers were elected for 1926—27:—President, Mrs. T. W. Munro; Vice-President, Mrs. J. W. Weegar; Secretary Treasurer, Mrs. A. i). MacDougal; District director, Mrs. George Barrett. A splendid report of the year’s activities was presented by the secretary-treasurer, ^ Mrs. A. D. MacDougal, as follows:—

During the year 1925—26, the Max- ville Branch of the Glengarry Women’s Institute held eleven meetings with a total attendance of two hundred and ninety-six (296). Also two special meetings were held, ^ one being the District Ann»ial early in June, and the other on April 17th, of this year, and of which mention will be made later. During this year fourteen addresses were given in the carrying out of h well prepared programme, and special mention might be,made of the papers on "Books, Our Friends of Enemies” by Mrs. Robt. MacKay. "Suggestions for winter reading”, by Mrs, Aird, ‘One weeks’ work on the Farm” by Mrs. D. C. MaeDougall. "One week’s work in th town”, by Mrs. Dr. McEwen, and ‘.How to com- bat the use of slang” by Mrs. J. F. MacEwen, ■

At the September meeting we enter- tained the grandmothers of our com- munity and a novel feature of this meeting was a‘singing contest into which everyone entered heartily, mak- ing it a most enjoyable meeting with a splendid attendance of 56.

We have also continued studying "The Revised Laws of Ontario relat- ing to* Women and Children” when time would permit and have almost, completed the book.

Ro-ll Call which . appeared on our programme quire regularly throughout the year, was well respo-nded to and a contest in Button-holes at the March meeting proved quite entertaining. As usual we held'our annual bazaar in December at which the booth contain- ing baskets and brooms fom the Can- adian National Institute fo the blind, and conducted by a representative from Ottawa, v{as well patronized and tve were particularly gratified to note in this way W’e were able .to help along the work of this organization.

Again ,this year, we deemed it a pri- village to be able to donate two schol- arships—oné of twenty-five dollars ($25) to the pupil of the Maxville Con- tinuation School taking highest stand- ing at Normal Entrance, and the other of Ten dollars ($10) to the Entrance pupil taking highest standing at Max- ville- Centre.

Ten , dollars ($10) was again donated to Ihe Kenyoii Agricultural Society .as a special prize for fancy-work and baking. ^

We were glad to be able to respond to two appeals during the year from the Armenian Relief Association for the Armenian boy’s home at George- town and a copy of the Boy’s Own Monthly paper "Acarat” has been placed in the library foj; the coming year. A year’s subscription to the "Ontario Farmer” has also been plac- ed in the Library. Donations^ were also sent to the "Cornwall General Hospital, National Sanitarium Asso- ciation, and a number of books and magazines sent to the Laurentian Sanitorium at Ste. Agathe, and a year’s subscription to the Canadian Home Journal was sent to the Y.W.C.A. Ot- tawa.

We express great pleasure in being able to report these few community activities ^ong various lines, and as an Institute we feel that we should be ever ready for service in keeping with the needs of our coiqmunity. With this aim in view it gives ps great pleasure to report the success which attended the Girls’ Garment Making Club which was conducted during the winter months. After much discussion as to ways and means this class was organ- ized at the late hour of November 14th, 19^5, and great credit is due the child- ren of the clâss and the ladies who gave of their time to instruct them, and enable eighteen girls from eight years of age up to forteen to secure diplomas for successfully completing the first year’s course in sewing. On April l7th. Miss Hopkins was sent

*dowp from the Department to present these diplomas and was weU pleased with the results of the class.

During the year we gave free of charge, the use of the hall for the regular meetings of the Hor- ticularal Society, the Public Library, and the High School and Public School for social evenings.

In November, 192'5, we decided 'that we were in need of publicity Secretary, and Mrs. T. W. Muriro was appointed to this office. We greatly appreciate the work of^ Mrs. Munro' since that time in securing a column in the Glengarry News, and having our var- ious acUvities reported therein.

In closing, we wish to stress the need in every community of the Wo- men’s Institute and we wish every member to realize that the strength of our whole or^nization. depends upon the degree to which each branch is meeting the needs of the home and of the community as well. Let us therefore press forward to greater ef- f6rt in the coming year.

PEOPLE YOU MEET ON THE

STREET The Obstinate Male

A man and a mule, they met one dav. Said the man to the mule, "get out of my way”. Said the mule to the man, "We are brothers’ kin. The only dif- ference is in oux skin.”

We are grateful this is only true in exceptional cases. But there is no gainsaying the fact that in exceptional cases, ihe mule spoke the truth.

And here’s a tip for you ladies, if tlie time ever sliould come when you have to choose between a genuinely ebstinate man and a mule, choose the mule. You will have less cause for re- gret.

A mule, when well fed and kindly treated, will, upon rare occasions, show his appreciation by acting with some small degree of intelligence. Not so the obstinate man. The mule in him always holds the majority stock and and will vote mule every time.

Like the surname it runs in families -just another case of "the father like

son.” ^ An obstinate man is but an unwar-

ranted exaggeration of an obstinate boy. And in the school game or game of life they are just as welcome as a polecat is at a pink tea.

In the genesis of his existence he exhibits those traits of character which afterwards develop into pure, unadulterated, XXX, triple extract mule-like obstinancy. He starts out by kicking and whining and keeps it up all through life.

When in the "gang” period, he runs true to form. If Ms chums de- cide to go fishing, he wants to go hunting. If they want to hunt, he will do nothing at all if they don’t go fishing. And he pouts when all do not subordinate their.rights to gratify his whims. He is a born objector.

Watch him as cake is being served. He grabs the largest, piece with the air of one who is doing you a special favor by relieving you of the burden.

If his parents and teachers possess any knowledge, it is some he discarded as being obsolete and thoroughly out of date. ' ^

A post morten recently held upon the body of a youth who died under •rather peculiar circumstances, revealed the fact that the "ego”, in him had developed to such an abnormal de- gree,'-that,—hard though his skull was —it blew a hole in the top of his head, and ajl that was found in the dome were his teeth and tongue. The bal-, ance had e\’aporated through, the aper- ture.

The jury brought in the following verdict:—"We find that^the deceased came to his death by an explosion of egotism in the belfrey, superinduced by the fact that in his early life he learned to talk instead of bray. And we would recommend that obstinate fathers be taxed to maintain a studio where their sons would take up thé too-often neglected art of braying.”

CHICKEN - THIEVES When the FEDERAL BURGLAH ALARM is attached to your

chicken-house your hens are safe—nobody can steal them.

The Federal is a very simple spring-steel device that works like a trap when a chicken thief opens any door or window to which it is connected; the alarm makes a very loud report, scaring the thief and awakening your whole household. ’

Nobody Can “Beat*’ This Alarm But in spite of the absolute protection FEDERAL affords, it is quite

harmless; it cannot harm even the burglar; but it thoroughly scares him, protects your chickens and awakens you.

The Federal Cannot Fail - Absolutely Guaran- teed To Last A Lifetime.

Ten Day Money Back Guarantee The Federal Burglar Alarm is returnable, if after ten days you find

the Federal Burglar Alarm unsatisfactory in any way. Simply mail the Federal Burglar Alarm back to us collect and your money will be cheer- fully refunded.

, Report on Customs Probe (Continued from page 1.)

Canals to'^'ard completion of that road. The present Minister, Hon. Charles A. Dunning, is determined to finish the project.

About 80 per cent, of the estimates remain to be disposed of, and, while some paitieular items will precipitate debate, such as that of .$60,000 for a Canadian representative at Washing- ton and the general question of Can- ada’s relation with other nations and her attitude toward the Locarno Pact, they are not likely to consume much time. The Most Contentious Item. '

The most contentious item yet to be dealt with will be the epurt to be submitted to the House by the Special Committee probing the smug- gling charges. The Conservatives are planning to make this the final piece do resistance of tire session, and a lively attack is to be centred upon the present Minister of tire department under inquiry, Hon. George H. Boivin. While it had been hoped by the busi- ness interests represented by R. Percy Sparks, President of the Commercial Protetive Association, that there might be a unanimous Report, there is little hope for that no\v. The committee is expected to agree on the major recom- mendations for reorganization of the Department of Customs and for ^ strengthening of the Customs regula- tion's, but beyond that the Opposition is likely to make as much political capital as possible out of -the disclo- sures made before the committee.

A warming sun has started much speculation about the date of proroga- tion, and members are beginning to get restive. The more optimistic ex- pect the end before June closes, but it is improbable that many members will spend Dominion Day at home.

SPBiNGCROPOFCAlV HOW TO RAISE BABY BEEF ON

SKITd 2lHiK.

'Experiments at the O. A. C. Show You Can Do th© Milking, Sell the Cream and Still Have a Good CaU’.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agrloalturv, Toronto.)

Many breeders of beef cattle pre- fer to hand-milk their cows and, with thé growing demand for young and handy-weight beef, the question of the possibility of making baby beef pn skim milk is a live one. Of course, uo one will argue that better baby beef can be made with skim mMk than with whole milk, but many be- lieve it impossible to satisfactorily finish calves at baby beef age and weight without whole-milk for most of the feeding period.

An experiment with four good grade Shorthorn calves by a pure- bred bull and fed off with skim milk gave us some rather valuable results. The calves were put In in late Jan- uary and Februar3L 1924, and were marketed in late January, 1925, at just about twelve mouths old and al an average weight of approximately 800 pounds each. They graded choice handy-weight cattle and were very choice baby beef in carcass. They made a dally gain per steer of 1,961 pounds, a profit over cost of feed of $54.85 and a profit of $84.86

In order to produce a single stem plant, all side shoots and suckers must be pinched off as soon as they appear. Harvesting.

Tomatoes allowed to ripen on Lhe vine have a superior flavor, so fully colored fruits only should be pulled. The eleven-quart basket is the most popular marketing package used in Ontario at the present time. •

Ili6 Careless Driver Last year the railroads of Great

•Britain carried one billion seven hund- red million passengers in separj train rides with the loss of just one life. At the same time in United States 23,000 persons were killed and more than 600,000 seriously injured by automobiles in street and highway acci- dents. The drunken driver has been blamed for most of this terrific loss of human life, but that is not so. It hs the careless driver, the man who is always taking a chance, who leaves tluj greatest trftil of death .and destruc- tion in his path. Michigan had a start- ling picture o,f this sort of driver a few days ago wlicn one of them deli^ berately drove his automobile into thé path of a fast passenger train and dn the twinkling of an eye six lives were snuffed out.

How many times have you witness- ed a man load his family into an au- tomobile and with that precious load go dashing down the country lanes at 50 and 60 miles am hour? That man would no more think of striking one member of that family than he would of committting suicide, ' yet ho will drive at a rate of speed that constantly endangers their lives, a little rut, a punctured tire, a broken steering gear or any one of the hundred and one things that is always happening; and then the newspapers have another tra- gedy to chronicle. The drunken driver is menace enough and should be em- phatically stamped out, though strange to say ho generally rides alone, but the real menace, the driver who brings the greatest toll of death and destruc- tion is the driver who is always tak- i^iig a chance and who thinks it is cute to travel his machine at a rate far beyond that which judgment and good sense sanction.—Detroit News.

totalled 84,907, of which 35,362 was ^contributed by the British Isles, 17,- ?^117 by the United States, and 31,-

828 by other countries. In additiôn 39,989 Canadians who had estab- lished homes in the United States and resided there for a period longer than six months returned to live ip their native land.

A new cash-on-delivery parcels system has been inaugurated at Post Offices' all over Great Britain. Par- cels up to thé value of £40 (about $195) may now be posted at any post office to any address in Great Britain, the value being collected by the Post Office authorities and re- mitted to the sender. The system seems to be meeting with success.

Business conditions on the Pacific Coast continue on the upward trend with great activity in construction worki The lumber industry outlook is brighter and there have been im- portant developments in new saw- mill construction. The fishing in- dustry is on a better footing, pulp and paper mills are active and ad- ditional power programmes are be- ing worked out.

■ A. M. Johnson, President of the Canadian Club of Boston, visited Montreal for the first time on the new “Redwing" train now running betweefl the two cities on Canadian Pacific lines. In telling of the charitable and naturalization aid given Canadians by the Canadian Club of Boston, Mr. Johnson said there were some 900,000 Canadians in the State of JdassacKusetts. Of this number 80,000 are in Boston.

Sir Esme Howard, British Am- bassador to the United States, stated on his arrival in Toronto on a C.P.R. train that the question of European peace was the most urgent and im- mediate problem ^ the day. It,was necessary for Great Britain to assist in maintaining peace and the League of Nations offered a suitable vehicle. Sir Esme claimed that if the League disappeared England would be com- pelled to join some European com- bination against any country which threatened to dominate the con- tinent.

Net earnings of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway for March were $2,- 824,177, an increase of $706,965 over the same period last year, and the best March net since 1918. For the three months ending March 31 net earnings were $6,531,067, an increase of $2,6^5,385 over the correspond- ing period of last year and the best ehowing for the three months since 1917. Gross earnings for March were dp $1,330(^1, while expenses increased only ^23,306.

The development of tourist traffic to the Dominion has been one of the most noteworthy events of the Cana- dian economic situation in the post- war period. Holiday makers of the United States apparently find Can- ada’s vacation charm irresistible as

nnmber of visitors shows large increases every year. In 1926 2,- <429,144 United States’ automobiles entered Cianada for touring pur- poses, as compared with 1,889,210 in 1924. A new.record is expected this season.

} Speaking at the Canadian Daily

Newspaper Association meeting at Toronto recentJy, E. W. Beatty, President of the C.P.R. said there is no cla^s of worker more: closely in touch with, or more soundly in- formed of, the problems of the coun- try’s industrial life than the railway and newspaper workers. Each was building up the country as he served the actnal needs of the community. Mr. Beatty was 'Impressed by Ahe «niversd willingness of the Cana- dian press to get b^ind appeals that must be made to the public on liehalf of works of charity, civic Sienefit and education.. * .

Bank Suminary 1$ Encouraging

The favorable upturn in Canada-s business situation continues, and in- creasing activity in tlie major ^indusr tries provides a basis for encourage- ment. The improvement in ^ railway earnings, the progress in building construction; the extension of export trade and a marked increase in domes- tic sales of automobiles, are signs of the bettemnent, states the Bank of Montreal May business summary.

It adds: The outstanding event of the month has been the ten-day hap- pily-settled' strike in England, wliich has had no reaction upon conditions in Canada. Domestically^ there is little change in the situation. As to the future, much depends on the crops. In the Prairie Provinces wheat - seeding has been completed over a somewhat' larger area in good time and under favorable conditions, while in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Pçovinces, spring operations, although later than usual, are now in full swing. In Bri- tish Columbia the spring was earlier than usual, enabling work on the land to be well advanced. Railway load- ings continue to' increase as compared with the last two or three years, indi- cating that a general improvement in business has occurred, and there is every reason to believe that the com- ing month will see a maintained state of trade.

As regards foreign trade, exports of Canadian merchandise in April held up well in point of value, being $60,166,- 000, as against $59,909,000 in the cor-' responding month of last year. Im- ports also rose to a total of $67,801,000, or more than $8,000,000 over the cor- responding month *of last year. Min- éral production increases. Recent re- ports of textile companies confirm trade improvement, the volume of sales having been greater than last year.

Navigation opened some 10 days la- ■fhr this y€ar, and, as a consequence, the port of Montreal was less busy on the 1st of May than was expected. However, a goodly fleet of ships has since come into the port and there is no lack of cargo for ^ them.

Tlie course of exchange between Canada and the United States con- tinues to be favorable to Canada, and

i

for New York funds has varied dur- ing the past month from par to 5-32 per cent, discount. A further in- crease in the discount would have ta- ken place but for the importation of gold. Sterling has again risen to a parity with gold and the only cloud on the exchange horizon is the fall of the franc and lira.

The bond market has been quiet, the only noticeable feature being a firm- er tone for tax-free securities since •the budget announcement. The local stock markets continue to be dominat- ed by the unsettled conditions pre- vailing in New York, with a reduction in the volume of trading as compared with the previous month ând a lower trend of prices generally. The review deals with Provinces in detail.

The Making of Scotlanil (Glasgow Herald)

'Dr. "Walter Seton recently delivered the first of two lectures on ‘‘Scotland in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Cen- turies’’ at the London! School of Econ- omics, The reign of James I., the lec- turer said, was comparatively unim- portant ill foreign politics, including relations with England, but it was of great importance in two ways—the growth in the power of the Crown, and the foundation of constitutionalism James I, increased the power of the Crown by successive attacks upon the leading baronial families, by the over- throw of the House of Albany, of Stfathearn, of March, etc. The con- stitutional development was the divi- sion of the barons into the greater barons, who became Loids of Parlia- ment, and tlie lesser oneSj who had po^wer to elect commissioners of shires, James II. carried further the work of 1-is father. The minority period was one in which the position of'the Crown was weakened as a result of tlio rival- ries of ■ the Livingstones and the Crightons. The opposite occurred when James II. grasped the reinsi of Govern- ment and overthrew th^ threatening power of the Douglas family in, a struggle culminating in the murder of the earl of Douglas by tbe' King in 1451. The relations between Scotland and England were influenced by the Wars of the Roses in England, the Ste- wart family sympathising mainly ^ith the Lancastrians, while the York- ists tried to stir up /trouble in Scot- land. James III, was a^man of very

different calibre to that of his two predecessors. He antagonised practi- cally the whole baronial class, largely by his reliance on bad counsellors. The disaffection of the barons led ulti- mately to his overthrow and death at Sauchieburn, and to his son being plac- ed on the throne instead of himself. Thue must importai^t of the constitu- tional development of Scotland under James III was the appointment of the so-called “Loa*ds of the Articles, a group of representatives of each es- tate, who gradually came to carry on the greater part of the business of government. By the end of the fif- teenth century the position of the family of Stewart, was fairly secure, and the overthrow of James III, was not an anti-dynastie movement. The outstanding feature of the reign of James lY, was the extent to which Scotland was brought into contact with the chief powers on the Contin- ent of Europe—France and Spain, and of course also with England. James IV. also carried veisy much further the advance of the power of the Crown towards absolutism, analogous to the position of Henry VIII. in England, Louis XII, in France,, and Ferdinand in Spain. Absolutism, coupled with the French alliance, led James to em- bark, against the judgment and the desire of his barons, on the campaign which resulted in the defeat of Flod- den. The marriage of James IV. with Margaret Tudor was, however, a fac- tor which opE^rated pow’crfully in bringing «Scotland and England closer together and in rendering possible the' ultimate union of the Crowns.

Cast-iron Houses'ior England Cast-iron houses are one of the most

lecent novelties devised in England in the effort which has now been go- ing on for a number of years to meet the problem of,•modern housing for workers at rentals which are low. The cast-iron house has a concrete foimda* tidn, timbrer floors, steel frame^ cast- iron outer plates, an inner shell of fibre board four and a half inches inside the cast iron, ah outside finish of cement and pebble dash, a tile roof, and'brick chimney. After the founda- tion is constructed it is said that the rest of the house can be “turned out’^ in two weeks and that the only men needed for the job are two labourers, one “ fixer, and twN) tilers. A cast- iron house of six rooms and bath is xeputed to cost about $2,600.

Bural Scliool Surroundings (Broekvilld Recorder-Times)

V'ith a view to the improvement o'f the surroundings of rural schools, H. B. Fetterly, inspector * of public schools in the County of Dundas, is reported to have been successful in obtaining cash prizes, presented by public men and others interested in the welfare of the county schools, to be competed for by the pupils of each township in this distinct. The prize money is to • be used by the school winning it for the further bet- terment of the grounds.

This is a movement which deserves encouragement and which is well worthy of emulation in other sec- tions of the country. Of late years, and tightly so, much stress has been placed by the educational authorities upon the necessity for proper equip- ment of the .schools in respect to lighting, ventilation, and other in- ternal facilities. Not as much at- tention has been given to the matter of the exterior, yet the surroundings of the school uiidoiibtedly have a great influence upon the growing boy or girl. If the school,is attractive, the' boy or girl \Vill be more willing to attend it and gain greater benefit from the instruction which he or she receives. In the country the provi- sion of adequate playgrounds ^s not the vital necessity that it is in the congested town or city, but a drive along almost any country road will enable the enquirer easily to arrive at a realization of the infinite pos- sibilities which lie in Hie way of the improvement of grounds. Not infrequently those who established rural schools, perhaps generations ago, seem ta have chosen the worst possible site in the vicinity, and dur- ing the years which have passed little effort has been made to make up for this deficiency, when the planting of shrubs and flowers, with perhaps a vine to hide the bare walls of the\ little building, would have’ worked wonders in tlie improvement of its appearance and of its efficiency. If these flowers and plants are plant- ed by the pupils themselves and car-, ed for by them, and if the winning of a prize depends upon their efforts, they will receive respect at their hands. Even if no prizes are award- ed, much may be done through the initiative of the- teacher, who will be able to interest both the community and the pupils in the project. More attractive schools mean better at- tendance and greater benefit to teacher and pupil alike.

A well known' and highly respected resident of Alexandria, in the person of Miss Sarah McDonald, passed away at Cornwall, early Tuesday morning. June 1st, following a protracted ill- ' ness. The deceased who had attained the age of 79 years had resided in Alexandria nearly all her life where she conducted a dressmaking establish-' inent.

She was a kind and genial neighbor and will be re-' membered by all who knew her.
