THL'RSTON, - Editor TIIK FI(;HT IS «)N The Htaffe is all set now in South Gr.'y for the contest in the Provin- cial L'kclionB. As Hon. Dr. David Janiienon has b«en included in Prc- imier FcrpuHon'a cabinet as .Minister With .1 ; Portfolio, no doubt ho will 1k' 5n th( running stronjr. F. R. Oliver, the I' F.(V candidate ami Dr. Fortune, Liberal nominee, are both in the- fitld to stay and a throe cornered finht is on. Ho'.v the outcome will be is doubtful, but the O.T..\. Vote will bo split to a I'crtain extent and it should be betl'T for tho Keni;tl Doctor. In North (ir'y only. one candidate is in the field yet. I). J. Taylor, who has represented the ridinir in the last two parliaments. Who the Conservative candi<!ate will he is not at present known but ns E. N. Cooper. ex-Mayor of Meiiford, receivet^ the Conservative nomination in the vacant scat of Centre firry at a cnnvention last sprinjf. it is altofrether likely that he will be the choice in North Grey. It is not expecte<I that a Liberal candi- date will run there. flKF.V STILL LFADS. A Waterloo correspondent of the Toronto (;i<.be indulses in some crow- ing over the fact that that county bus jriven to the Dominion some note- worthy son«. He noints out that Rt. Hon. Mackenzie Kinir. our prime Min- ister, was born in Kitchener â€" then the town of Berlin â€" the county seat of Waterloo County. The late Dr. W. Wilfred Cainpbell, the distinguish- ed poet and author, know as the "Poet of the Lakes." was a native son of the same town. A few miles distant, in the villafre of Baden, the late Sir Adam Beck, the Rreal "Hydro Knight" was born. The town of Preston was the birthplace of the late Dr. Otto ,L Klots, Canadian astronomer, one of our "most accomplished" scientists From (!:\lt. in South Waterloo, came Hon. Janie.'^ Younp, an eminent jour- nalist and parliamentarian of his time. The bonnie villajre of Doon claims as her son Homer Watson, an artist of international fame. KImira. in North Waterloo, was the home town of the late Dr. A. S. VoRt, foun- der of the Mendellsnhn Choir, whose achievements in the cause of music are un; urpassed in Canada, l^t. .Ja- cob's h the birthplace of Charles M. Bowman, former Liberal Whip in the Ontario Legislature, now prominent in the business world, and from the villape of Conestopa comes Minister of Custom.^ William D. Ruler, the able son of sturdy pioneers who hcl;)- cd to build this fair and prosperous county. This is all very interestinR, but nei- ther Waterloo nor any otiier county in Canada can lay claim to the distinc- tion enjoyeil by the County of Grey, in which is the l)irthplace and i"<)n- stituency of the only woman eVer elected to the Dominion Parliament, and who has recently been returned in the third successive contest. "Wha daur meddle wi' her prestiRO?" Then Miss Cora Hind, the mo.st noted authority on live stock and Western crops, is a Orf y County woman. .She has no successful rival in her chosen vocation. OIR < (»AL Sl'PPLY. An attempt is beinp made to jret the railways to brinR coal to Ontario from the province of Alberta, in ac- cordance with the pre-election pro- mise of Hon. Mr. Bennett. To do this however, the Dominion Government will 'liave to make a Krant of two dollars a ton towards the freight. With the irront demand for cars to ship wheat, the preent is not a very auspicious time to promote this trade. The time for Ontario to Ret a coal supply from the West is in the sum- mer months, when the cars are not re- quired for wrrain. Surely, fo soon as the Railway Commission make pro- noumoment on just how much the railwayi can carry Western coal Vo Ontario for, the tine.'tion will be fin- ally settled. U would be n fine thinR if we could ffet Canadian conl at a price that would make us to be inde- pendent of the United States. EniTt*KlAI, NnXES celebrated at Fort Errie, Buffalo and New York upon the completion and openiiiB, early next summer, of the Vehicular Peace Bridge at present un- der construction across the Niagara River. Completion of the last link of steel Work was completed recently. The Canadian terminal of the bridge will be on ground over which was fought the Battle of Port Erie, in 1814, and the United Status terminal on lands once occupied by buildings of Fort Porter, within the City of Buffalo. « * • .Some people talk about the effete Motherland and the difficulty of mak- ing money out of industrial enterprise. They overlook the achievements of the great ma;iterK of industry, who, from small beginnings, have built up great enterprises through sheer pluck a.nd industry. Lately we have had recorded the death of William Coats of tlic Coats thread manufactory in Paisley, .Scotland, who left an estatu of i;5,i);{c,08.'; (§ii»,o!io,r.oo), but left no will. The deatii duty payable to the government amounts to i'l,.'>80,Sl8 (ST.nOfi.itOO). This is the eighth es- tate in the millions left by members of the Coats family. .And ail made out of the production of thread for world-wide consumption. A Fine Motor Run (Tcront > Star V.'ookly.) A motor run through the Province that will show isome scenery that many did not know Canad* possessed is to take a run up through Bramp- tf)n and ovar the C'aledtm mountain to Orangeville. After that drive until the ooutskirts of Shelburnc are reach- ed, then turn to the right through Hornings Mills, where the fine string of private trout ponds are, and on to Singhampton. Here a stop should be made. Jt is a centre from which runs should be made in different directions. But at .Singhampton itself the motorists should run their car over to the old mill. It is falling into decay now. but artists love to paint it. It stands at the point where the Mad River be- gins four or five miles of rushing des- cent through a rocky gorge into the distant Valley. It is a |)Iace to sit and feast the eye and delight the ear with the singing of the waters. Drive out from Singhampton and see the Devil's Glen. The road winds along its ^ry edge â€" below it is a great bowl, seemingly without inlet or outlet, but with u ribbon of stream making a pattern u* the bottom. There are times when you can well imagine how the Glen got its name. Out frcftn Singhampton, too. motor- ists can stop on the hill near Glen Huron and get a fine view of the Georgian Bay. Wasaga Beach â€" a crescent picture that is very pleas- ing. From .Singhampton drive across to Eugenia Falls, where there is a picnic park bard to equal. Owing to the Hydro enteprise the falls at Eugenia are almost bare of water, but the wonderful gorge is there â€" and few know what a gorge it is. A few miles beyond Eugenia at a high point there is a wonderful view of the wh(de Beaver valley, looking to- wards Meaford. It is a drop of G hundred feet from the high road to the bed of the river below. Looking mfles of Checkerboard of preen and gold farm lands. Motorists can keep on by this road to Kiniberley and then turn back a- long the bottom of the valley and through it to Flesherton and by a fine highway through Orangeville back to the cil,v. As a two-day trip, spending the night at Singhampton or Eugenia, we know of nothing excelling this run in the i)eauly and unexpectedness of its .'â- â- ?enery. Those who make the run declare they did not suppose we had anything like it in Ontario. Another parking priWem is where to stow away the strnw hat that still has a lot of mileage left, sii that it can be rendily found 'vhen time amcf to pit ii ••r. the road a-rain next ,»ring. - MmiuN. -ler Union.

My heart is of steel, my limbs arc of iron, and my fingers are of brass. I sing the songs cvf the world, the oratorios of history, the symphon- ies of all time. I am the voice of to-day, the her- ald of to-morrow. I weave into the warp of the past the wool of* the future. I tell the stories of peace and war alike. 1 make the human heart beat with passion or tenderness. I stir the pride of nations, and make brave men do braver deeds, and soldiars die. I inspire the midnight toiler.weary at his loom, to lift his head again and ga:-.', with fearlessness, into the vast beyond, .seeking the conso- lation of a hope eternal. When I speak a myriad of people listen to my voice. The Saxon, the Latin, the Celt, the Hun, the Slav, th<' Hindu, all comprehend me. I am the tireless clarion of the news. I cry your joys and sorrows nvery hour. I fill the dullard's mind with thoughts uplifting. I am light, knowledge,, power. I epito- mize the conquests of mind over matter. I am the record of all things man- kind has achieved. Uy offspring comes to you in the caandlo's glow, amid the dim lamps of poverty, the splendor of riches; at sunrise, at high noon, and in the waning evening. I am the laughter and tears of the world, and I shall never die until all things return to tho immutable dust. I am the PRINTING PRESS. â€" Robert H. Davis. The Prohibition Union of Ontario will support "dry" candidates. Mrs. F. Weber of Carrick grew a long green cucumber this .season with a circumference of 27H inches by 2'i, and weighed three and one half pounds. There will be many positive state- ments made during the coming elec- tion campaign. The most convincing way to make these assertions is to give the proof. The South African Parliament has pas.-ed a law making it illegal for newspapers at election time to carry political articles that are not signed by the writers. In Police Magistrate Barr's court at Milton John Denholm of Toronto was fined SlOO or six months Wi jail for selling pool tickets on the World's Baseball Series. The accused jilcaded guilty, and asked for leniency. The most suggestive item of British news, recently, is the announcement that Punch, the historic comic journal has decided to refuse henceforth all liquor ads. It declines to discuss reasons. There is really no need that it should. Advertising is the fastest known medium for extending the market of a product when the price and quality is right. For local commoditi' .; the local paper is the cheapest and best medium of advertising. Therefore if you have anything to sell in the com- munity, let the fact be known through your local paper.

Mrs. Alice Semple McPherson, the Los Angeles evangelist whose name is anpearing on the front page of the daily papers just now, has a personal friend in town who is very indignant at the treatment being accorded Mrs. McPherson by the news gathering agencies of the continent. The AUis- ton lady, who does not want her name mentioned, gave the editor of The Herald a statement of the case as told by Mrs. McPherson and others who saw her on hef arrival at the fringes of civilization after her tramp In the Mexican desert. An affidavit by one Gonsalez of Agua Prieta, Mex- ico, gives an account of Mrs. McPhsr- son's appearance at his hou.se' in the night and calling for help. This man arose and took the woman in, gave her shelter, food and provided her with the facilities for a rest as she was all but completely exhausted.! After she had survived somewhat this man got a car to take the woman to DoUR-las, Arizona. A long list of Douglas citizens subscribed to an affi- davit stating the case there in an al- together different light from that presented by the daily newspapers. Those people state that Mrs. Mc- Pherson's statements are true, th&y having arrived at this conclusion after thorough investigation. There is a hint that this woman is being singled out for pers. ••;ition a:> a warn- ing to othars. Mrs. McPherson i.«^ a Canadian, having been born and raised on a farm nr:ir Ingersoll. She was a brilliant sti- lent and at Lon- don collegiate instit ite made a name for herself as a ^â- ^>lendid student. ! She i.-: a fine lookin'- woman with rod- dish brown hair an 1 presents an at- i tractive appearance on the platform ] where .she is a pow vful speaker, pro- | seiiting her argun nts with a foveo I of conviction. He .â-  message, it is .said; is presented "'i sucli a way as f to be irresistible.

Increased production is largely a matter of improved and augmented herds, modern equipment, time and labor-saving machinery and better, ail-round production facilities. All jthis, of course, costs money. But it is money which the Bank of Toronto may readily advance to de- sirable applicants. If you plan to increase your out- fit and require a loan, you can do no better than to see the branch manager of the Bank of Toronto and discuss your problems with him. lAHK^TORONTO BRANCHES : MARKDALEâ€" W.
