These celebrated chron- icles and romances were first pub- lished by a firm of printers and book- sellers, of which, unbeknown to the public at large, he was the principal financial backer. In 1826 the venture collapsed, leaving Scott practically a i man. At a dinner in Edin- burgh a year later and, so it happens, exactly a century ago, he was pressed by friends to acknowledge author- ship of the novels. "I bad no intention of choosing the time where the thing actually took place for making the confession," he wrote afterward. Without advising Scott of his intentions Lord Meadow- bank, a judge in the Court of Ses- sions, rose and announced to the ga- thering that the writer of the stories was present. In an instant all in the hail were on their feet, cheering lus- tily and applauding. . When the noise subsided sufficient- ly for him to be heard Sir Walter Scott spoke. "The merits of the works and their faults are entirely imputable to myself," he said. "Like snother Scottish criminal of more r-2sequence. Macbeth, . am afraid to think what I have done. . L~~% on't a=ain I dare not. "I have thus far unbosomed my- self and I know that my confession will be reported to the police. I mean seriously to state that when I am the author I mean the total and un- divided author." Several explanations have been ad- vanced to account for Scott's sec- recy, the most probable one being that the association of his name with the novels would have revealed his financial connection with the printing and book selling concern that issued them. This business Scott had put his money into with the hope of gaining a more substan- tial income than his pen was bring- ing him. The enterprise was incom- petently handled, however, and went under, leaving Scott in the fifty-fifth year of his life indebted for $500,000. Though in failing Imalth, he coura- geously set to the task of clearing his name and honor. It was a race with death. Once he said, "The ves- sel is leaky. I often wish I could lie down and sleep without waking. But I will fight it out if I can." In the twelve years that lapsed be- fore the ship went down he wrote "Woodstock," "Count Robert of Paris," "Castle Dangerous," and fin- ished several books that had been started prior to his misfortune. He died content in the knowledge that future royalties would soon wipe out his debt. AFTERMATH 1926 OUTRAGE CLEARED UP Shanghai, China, March 18,-- News despatches from Nanking to | nighié said that the National Gov- ernment had issued two important mandates calculated to clear up the | aftermath of the 1926 outrages in! which several foreigners were killed.

Reynolds of Guelph College 60 FARMERS PRESENT Speaker Emphasized Inter- dependence of Rural and Urban Dwellers Today was 'Farmers' Day" at the Rotary Club luncheon and six ty farmers, invited by the club as the guests of honor, were present. With a practically complete turn- out of the members, the capacity of Welsh's was taxed, The dependence of the farmer and the urban dweller upon each other, was the theme of Profes- sor J, B. Reynolds, Presiden: of the Guelph Agricultural College, who addressed the meeting. Mr, Reynolds said that he had spoken before most of the Rotary clubs in Ontario but that the Oshawa club was about the last in the list, although it was his home town. He expressed his deep re- gret at the recent death of Mr, Lyman C, Smith, who was prinei- pal of the Oshawa Collegiate In- stitute in his boyhood days. The independent farmer was a thing of the past, said Dr. Rey- nolds, and farmers were adjusting themselves to the new conditions. Taking Oshawa as an example, its growth from a town of 4,000 when he lived here many years ago, to its present status afford- ed an ever-increasing market for the neighboring farmers. and their prosperity increased with the rowth of the city, Three factors were important In the success of the farmer, said the speaker, land, capital and labor. Laud had re- mained nearly stationary in price except near the cities; capital was no dearer now that is the in- terest paid on borrowed capital, had gone down, if anything, La- bor only had shown a great change, and labor had incriased considerably in price. All people who lived in towns er cities, were dependent on the farmer. In 1923 the total value of production on Canadian farms and therefore the amount of mon- ey spent by the farmers of Cana- da was $1,342,000,000. Rural depopulation was a "bine ruin" ery, said Dr. Reynolds but the fact was that the farmers were doing more work with few- er hands. There were 70,000 less farmers in Ontario in 1921 than 25 years before, but there were 400,000 more milking cows, which was a proof of the asser- tion. Agriculture had shown great progress. Of thirteen large ; industries in Canada and in 1923, their total production had not | equaled the total value of farm produce. Co-operative marketing was the saving factor in Western Canada, and would be in Ontario, declared Dr. Reynolds. The wheat pool in Western Canada seemed to have solved their problem. There was more money handled by the wheat pool last year than by the C.NR, or the C.P.R. Even in Ontario, many farm products were largely sold on a co-operative basis. Rotarian Dave Tod introduced the speaker and Rotarian Arthur Alloway expressed the thanks and ppreciation of the club. William Dryden on behalf of the farme:s present thanked Professor Rey- polds, and the Rotary Club and told them of two or three humour- ous instances that the speech had § EARTH TREMORS FELT ON CANADIAN SIDE OF ST.

Harbor development could wait, thought Mr, Smith, but the question of a subway under the railway tracks on Simcoe street was a pressing problem that should be dealt with immediately, Mr, Smith said that he had sat in the House of Commons with every prime min- ster of the Dominion since Con- rederation, and he welcomed the pportunity to once more express iis opinion on public matters Dr. J.
