DIXIE'S FARMERS T0 MOVE UP Atlanta, Ga, Feb, 8--Dixie's ten- ant farmers, symbol of poverty and landless for generations, must take the place of the landed aristocracy, before the south again basks in eco- nomic sunshine, believes Colonel J. L. Evans, who is making such a switch on his 5,000-acre farm near Ashburn, Ga. "What I have done is to take the tenant farmer into partnership, start him toward ownership of a 200-acre farm and put him on a year-around income basis," Evans sald. . "What we must do is to develop a a of farmers, "Agriculture generally has in a bad way, but the south's farming ing plan--seems to me to have blgwn up with the loudest bang. "The tenant farmer, the man on nation. He has had no incentive to better his farm and could not bet- ter himself because ends never met. His home {is little better than vel. No wonder he cannot buy. "Landlords supply him only with enough equipment and credit to pro- marketed debts take his share. Half of the year is 'lay-by time' when he just sits in the door. "That system won't work any more and I think I have a way out. Five years ago I split my farm into 20 balanced units, with a farm fam- ily on each 200 acres, The average tenant in the south farms about 50 acres. "Each unit operates as an indepen- dent farm on a partnership basis with me. I supplied all equipment, the land and the livestock. The up- keep and the income is shared equal- 1 yr y. "None of my partners is buying the general agricultural slump. The ditions improve they will start. The farms are worth, all told, $10,000 each and could be paid. for. in 5 years or a little more." Thousands of farms in the south and insurance companies in the last decade, many of them northern. One | Chicago concern, for example, owns Farm Bank of the third district owns 6,600 farms. Such is the ownership problem the south faces. Evans believes chain farming cannot be successful because it too closely parallels the tenant system, but his partnership plan, he believes, can be applied to any size area.

He is probably the oldest bach- clor as well. In the main room, old- time waltzes, quadrilles, barn dances, mazurkas, polkas, ete, were iter spersed with the more "modern dances but in the Palm Room of the Mac- Donald Hotel the real, old time dances were in progress. There, "Mother" Calahoo, aged 80- something, wore down partner after partner in the Red River Jig, while Calahoos of a new generation in bobbed hair and silken gowns, step- ped it with young partners, tripped the merry circle hand-in-hand with some grey-headed old tuner who danced to these same tunes when the world was half a century young- er. The man who introduced the first dress suit in Edmonton in 1882, old | Jim Petrie, was referred to by Gen- ack in his speech at the in which he relived Edmon- eral Gries banquet ; ton's past.

MYSTERY DISEASE ATTACKS SHOPPERS o- | Hundreds in Brighton Af- fected and Many Deaths Result London, Feb. 8--A mysterious epi- demic of throat disease, which is at- tacking hundreds of persons, and has resulted in many deaths, is baffling doctors in Brighton and Hove. The disease is purely local. Al- though whole families have been at- tacked and doctors have been hard pressed to cope with the situation, the infection has not spread beyond the boundaries of Brighton and Hove. Cases are occurring every day, and a number of doctors are themselves in hospital. The disease, which is believed to be a form of influenza, lasts for sey- eral weeks. It is at its worst in North-West Brighton and North- East Hove. It is estimated that over 40 per cent of the householders have been attacked, and in many cases whole families have been stricken. In certain districts not a household has escaped. Schools have been afiacial and large business houses have had dii- ficulty in carrying on. A shopkeeper told me that over 50 per cent of his customers have been affected, and a doctor said that 75 per cent of his patients are suffering from the dis-' ease. The first symptoms of the discase is a sore throat followed by enlarged glands. Tn many cases the throat be- comes highly. septic. After results have taken fhe form of acute rheumatism, injuring the heart and kidneys, while often there is in addition, 'gencral blood poison- ing. and this has resulted in a large number of deaths. A doctor said he had established definitely that the epidemic was con- fined to Brighton and Hove, but he could not explain its origin. "Very likely," he said, "many of the sufferers were too busy just be- fore Christmas to go to bed because of a sore throat, They walked about and the, toxin, which is very virulent, was spread among the - Christmas shopping <r crowds. ic. came with alarming Father helped me.""--Brooklyn Eagle. "History has taught' us that when a civilization defers uduly to women and treats them oxceasive suddenness, and is still raging. "There is only one way of master- ing the epidemic, and that is for suf- ferers to go to bed immediately they get- a sore throat and temperature; and stay there until the temperature deference, it goes soft."--Arthur Stringer. ; has been normal for two days." ebec, Feb. 8--Arrested on a a of vagrancy, three Quebec woren, Blanche' Chevrier, Yvette La- combe .and Alevandra.

H. Williamson) Kingston, Ont., Feb. 8.--On Queen Street in Kingston still stands the first Parliament build- ings used by the Executive Council of upper Canada. It is a small, wooden structure and stands be- side St. Paul's Anglican church- .yard which contains the tomb of Reve Dr, John Stuart father of the Church of England in Upper Can- ada. Colonel Sir John Simcoe pre- sided at the first Council session as lieutenant-governor on July 8, 1792. Hon. Richard Cartwright, who was a member, founded the Cartwright family in Canada, a family which has been prominent in political and military circles for more than a century, and whose descendants are still to be found in Vancouver, B.C., Winnipeg, To- ronto, Kingston and Ottawa, Mr. Cartwright, son of an English father and a Dutch mother, and born in Albany, N.Y. remained trub to Great Britain at the close of the American Revolutionary War and came to Canada, grandson, Richard J. (afterwards Sir) took part in the discussions which resulted in Canadian Con- federation, and 30 years later was a member of the Liberal Cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It appears that Governor Sim- itary road from one end of Upper gave the name 'Dundas Street," supposedly with & view to accom- plishing his idea of fixing the capi- tal on the present site of London. Hon. Richard Cartwright protest- ed against the employment of 100 men of the "Rangers" in cutting a road from the head of Lake On- tario to the River Tranche (now Thames) where there was not a single inhabitant, insteads of em- ploying" them - "in the service for which they are ostensibly raised, of opening roads and building bridges between the different settt- Parliament Buildings Standing Since 1792 His | coe had planned and outlined a mili | Canada to the other, to which he | ! and died the following May, ed parts of the country." "Alwington House," the home of three successive Governor-Generals of Canada when Kingston was the seat of government of Upper and Lower Canada, 1841-1844, also still stands and is one of the finest residences in Ontario. It is owned and occupied by Mrs, Richardson, widow of the late Senator H. W. Richardson, '"Alwington" is situ- ated on the shore of the harbor and was built by Baron De Lon- gueuille, the fourth baron of the distinguished family of Le Moyne de Longueuill, which gave two governors to French Canada. His ancestor, Charles de Moyne, was a contemporary of the Chevalier de la Salle, When Lord Sydenham settled at Kingston, the then '"Alwington™ with some additions, became the vice-regal residence, It was near this home that Lord Sydenham, one of Canada's ablest governors, was fatally injured when his horse stumbled and fell, and it was at the vice-regal residence that he died on Sept. 19, 1841, two weeks after the accident. Lord Sydenham | had expressed a desire to be buried | beneath St, George's Cathedral, | and his remains repose in a vault under that edifice." Sir Charles Ba- got, a nephew by marriage of the Duke of Wellington, was the next vice-regal occupant of "Alwington.'" Early in Novermer, 1842, Sir Charles was stricken with illness | his | body being conveyed to England for buriai, Sir Charles Metcalfe, afterwards Lord Metcalfe, succeed- ed Sir Charles Bagot as governor. During the time he occupied the office of governor there was great turmoil in the legislature, The re- moval of the seat of government to Montreal in 1844 releived King- ston of being the death place of a third governor, for Lord Metcalfe did not long survive a malady from which he had suffered before coming from England.

Two years ago the fishermen of Lake Winnipeg .successfuily launched a fish marketing pool, and the sal- mon fishermen on the Pacific Coast are getting together along similar linge. The Co-operative Union of Canada has for a considerable time past been consulted in the interest of both the Atlantic and Pacific fishermen, and is giving them all the aid it is able in their efforts."
