Editor. \ T»IE •UELVING" I'RlvMIER The Premier of Ontario losts from hi.s recent strenuous labors on his tour of speaking by taking u turn at the har\'esting of his onions and pota- toes, of which it is reported, he has a fine yield. Onions arc his larger crop, but this year Mr. Hepburn is gathering a good yield of potatoes from thirty-tive acres. He is hous- ing the "murphies" for a time, be- lieving that it is better not to crowd the market ut present. Later leports from the outside markets will show that this is the better policy. In Canada, despite the loss through drought in Saskatchewan and .A Iberia, it is believed there will Ik- an averajr' yield. Ontario has done better with potatoes this year than last, late Dom- inion reports say.

Among the old tombstones with their writings filled with moss, we found one bearing the following in- scription: "In Memory of the Clan MacLaurin. The aged chief, being old and infirm and his nearest of kin, their wives and families, were set upon iind put to death in the silent midnipht by a band of incendiarist banditti 1558." From here we passef* through the Trossochs a range of nills which is called the entrance to the Western Highlands visiting Lochs Vennachar, Achray, Drunkie and Katrine. In Loch Katrine is Ellen's Isle mentioned in Scott's "Lady of the Lake." Our next stop was at Abei-foyle and thence back to Glasgow, having seen much country famous in Scottish Romance.

Further on we passed throu«-h Ar- broath and saw the Htrhthouse on that dangerous Inchcape rock. This light- house was over four years in con- struction. No doubt many of you remember the poem written concern- ing this rock and the pirate "Sir Ralph the Rover." From Arbroath to Aberdeen the roail lies close to the sea. Aberdeen is a beautiful city built chiefly of white (franile. lleie are to be founj monuments of FMward VII, Queen Victoria, Robert Burns and Sir Wm. Wallaiv. At the base uf the monu- ment to Wallace are to be found the words (if Wallace spoken at his moch trial in London: "To Edward Kinp of Knfflaiid I cannot be a traitor, I owe him no allegiance, he is not my sov- ereifni, he n<?ver received my homaire and whilst life is in this persecuted body he never shall receive it."

People stood very close to the roadway on which they pas.sed; as they drove alont; not a sound was heard. The country from Balmoral south- ward Vcomes very wild and ruK'geil and here one sees th.' real Scottish '.rleii. Pa.ssing along the road known MS the Devil's KIbow, the hijrhest public road in Britain, 2000 ft. high, we went down a very lotiK steep hill! by means of a hairpin turn, remindiuK me of similar roads in the Canadian Rockies.

As the glen wid- '•ned wp crossed the Glenshee river iind I recalled having heard my father sing a song, which mentioned th^ banks of Glenshee. Another point of interest on the road home was Stirling, wher*. we saw the great Stirling Castle and the monument to Sir William Wallace. It was from the museum in connect iop with this monument that Wallace's sword was stolen n few months ago EUGENIA The Woman's AsMociation are hav- ing new tables constructed for the basement of the church in time for the fowl supper on Friday evening, Oct. 22.

From Stirling homeward we pas.sed through Kirkentillock, the scene of a terrible tragedy only last week. Here l''n young men from Ireland, in Scot- land for potato digging, lost their lives in a fire which destroyed their sleeping quarters. One mother lost her three sons, the youngest beine thirteen years of age. The victims were buried on an island near the resting place of the thirty-six victims of the Clew Bay drowning di.sasler who lost their lives on the way to Scotland to work in the potato fields forty-six years ago. Motoring in Scotland Traffic here travels on the left anrt is somewhat confusing to one who Is accustomed to the oppositt>. I have yet to find out the reason for this. Glasgow bMsses and tram cars have two decks. They stop and start at almost the same instant, so that on. must be On the alert if he wishes to alight (H- get on hoard. Anyone travelling by bus need not worry about the lack of exercise. The roads in .Scotland have manv the motorist must frequently leave it a mile or two from his home. Motorcycles are very popular as i- nlso the bicycle. The up-to-date bicycle has two wheel brakes and gear shift on the same principle as a car, the cyclist being able to shift to low gear on a hill. One frequently sees a tandem and in some cases father and mother do the pedalling, while baby enjoys the scenery from the side- car. In closing I would say that the coming of The Advance is an "event," not just a weekly occunence. One is certainly niore keenly intiTested in the news from home when a consider- able distance away.
