The Province of Man itoba will not allow separate schools to opt-rate no doubt profiting from mistakes their sister provinces made in allowing those denominational schools to creep in and ii oate religious strife ami rabid .seclionalisni. Thi pmple of Ontario should not allow this item of jtreat concMsions to the Catholic schools pass the hoiwe. but advise Premier Hepburn that "equal liKhts to all and special priviledges to none" should guide him in his progi-ani I of leKielation.

A censorious critic ventures the remark that the di-esses ai-e very becoming to the ladies unless they are bow legged! That is a litlU detail that does not disturb the ladies in these latter days, however. WHAT ABOUT IT The present chaotic condition 01 civilization, as we call it, on this planet is cauBing many people tc wonder just whither it is heading, wc- see in the Good Book that the destruc- tion of this earth will be instantaneous It will come without warning; Scien- tists tell us of the possibilities ol some such cataclysm through seepage of our great bodies of surface water iiito the fiery centre of the earth â- when an explosion so enormous might occur that our planet would be trans- Jormc<i into dust and go drifting through the ether for countless ages without form or cohesion. We all admit that the universe is controlled by a great Master mind and author ol mankind, and all things that grow and have form. Can it be a fact that the Diety, who brought mankii-.d forth from the void, niay be wearying of the warring faction, and peoples and is brigning these sore times upon us as a warning to us to return to the more simple faith of our fathers. It is reasonable to place this con- struction upon many Biblical passage.? many of our churches, even, have ceas- ed practicing, the simple faiths which they believed and preached T.'i years ago. SHOULD THl.NK TWICE The main item on the legislation program of the Liberal Covemment of Ontario is of inten.sc interest to the people of this province in the decision of Premier Hepburn to initiate the changes in the Ontario School Act where in funds now entering the cof- fers of thp public school system will be changed to the Catholic Sep- arate schools. Mr. Hepburn was practically pledged to this procedure at the last election and ho was oblidged to abide by his promi.ses. Despite the fact that the public school system in Ontario was formed not for one denomination but foi Protestants and Catholics alike, the latter had to have their denomination- al school a concession that has not been granted to any other religious sect. Those opposed to the encroach- ment of the Catholic school in the public school taxation system claim that they should l)e supported by those who wish them and not legislate the Protestants majority into supporting two school sy.stenis when the public school sysU'm is open to all classes vincial University showing the operat ing expenses for the year ending June ;{0 last were $64,761, less than the re- ceipts. To provide this, however the University not only had its ordin- ary revenue from pupil fees, but a grant from the province of ?1, 150,000! • * • Talented Canadians have little dif- ficulty in getting to the top in the educational world. Last week Or Isaiah Bowman, a native of the town of Waterloo, Ontario, was elected the fifth President of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. Dr. Bowman has been President of the American Geographical ScK-iety and chairman ot the National Research Council. • • • Ontario's nineteenth Parliament opened last week by Lieutenant Gov- ernor Bruce usual pomp and ceremony but many of the social functions coin- cident with the opening were lacking, due to the extreme economy policy ot the Hepburn Government. This ses- sion promises to be an extraordinary interesting one and already the load- ers of the two political parties have been locked in intensive debate. Watch the- fii-eworks eminating from the provincial government headquarters it will be interesting. • • • The white trillium has been chosei! as the official floral emblem of Ont- ario, and it is announced will be so designated by an Act of the Legisla- ture. Sponsored by the Ontario Horticultural Society, it is declared that the dainty flower blossoms freely throughout most of the Province, is unlikely to be mistaken for any othei flower, and embraces all that coulo be asked for in gracefulness. Then many national emblems beai- .spikes thorns, or beaks, suggestive of de- fence and offence, but the trillium is wholly a peace flower. Mr. Wm. Otvborne Sr. received the ncwB last week that his sister, Sarah, (Mrs. McCormick) of Manitoulin l.sland, had passed away. Mrs Mc-Cormick was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jaa. Osborne and spent her girlhood near this village. Some of her old schoomates are re- siding here yet. Miss Lillian Thomson of Toronto is visiting at her parental home here. Mrs. John Smith is in the ho.spital at Markdale, Uking treatment for mastoids. Mr. Taylor and family have re- turned home from Midland, where he attended the funeral of his mother thit week. Mr. Taylor i.s principal of our Continuation School. Miss M. E. Heron has i-etumed to her home in Toronto, after having a visit with her sister, Mr-s. Colquette. Miss Florence Gekell has gone tc her home near Heathcote for a visit. Mr» Eby i.s home from Owen Sound where she spent a week with hei daughter, Mrs. Thos. Forsythe. The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyter- ian church met at the home of Mrs. Mary VVhiteoak la»t week for their regular meeting. Mre. McGirr, vice- president, occupied the chair in the absence of the president, Mxs. G. Eby. About 14 members were present. Mr. John Kernahan is very ill at present, having suffered a heart at- tack on Thursday last. His son, Mr. H. W. Kernahan, was home from Toronto and his daughter, Mrs. Jas. Legate, of Collingwood is now at her parental home. The Geo. Pallister property next to the school has been purchased by Mr. Han-y Heathcote. Mr. Sam Park is moving his goods to the Heathcote farm, which he will occupy after Miarch 1st. The Podwell Lumber Co. has not yet sent their man to measure logs this winter and apparently they do not intend to put in a stock of logs at their sawmill this spring. Mr. Butcher has completed his con- tract to supply forty cords of wood to the local school. Mr. Alex. Foster is very ill at pre- sent with pneumonia; Mr. John Kern- ahan is a little easier and Mr. Tor- rence Williams is not recovering very fast. Mrs. William MIcKenzie passed away on Sunday morning at the age of 78 years. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon, the cor. tege leaving the house at 1 :30 p.m. with service in Providence church Interment will take place in Provid- ence cemetery. • The Fcversham school boys playeo a game of hockey with the Rob Roy boys on Saturday evening, the lattei being the victors 12-9. One of the worst storms of the season raged here on Sunday night when snow fell heavily and the wind blew it into di-ifts feet deep. Vermilyea, the Brockville man charged with murdering his mother, was found guilty and was sentenced to be hanged on May 2nd next, There was nothing spectacular in this trial and it was not drawn out for weeks. There has not been a hint of perjured witnesses, and even the jury, in- cluding niilo hard-headed farmers, has not given notice that it will go on the Vaudeville .stage in order to make money. The Vermilyea case coming close on the heels of the Haup'mann case has brought out quite clearly the fact that Canada knows very little about the best method of "running" a murder trial and cares little about lieli)ing impecunious lawyers for de- fence or prosecution, but we do con- sider the welfare of the executioner and grant him his just dues, which is more than the U. S. A. can boast ot in many instances. r ;..!•«•:♦<••&♦:->•> MID-WINTER Housewares Sal Heavy Galvanized Stolk PaiU, .sale price 69c (ialvanizcil Scrub Tubs, real barg'ain 39c Tubs, lidt ( jalvaiiizefl No. 2 size, sale price 89c Copper Tea Kettle, sj^ecial $2.19 Kitchen Waste Cans, decDratcfl 98c Extra Heavy Japanned Dust Pans 23c Ivoi y ami ^reen Sauce Pan, set of two, for 98c OfUl lot Lined Mitts, slij^htly soiled, rej? ular85c to $1.5'").

A SHOE SHINER WANTED The people of the United States own 72 per cet. of the autos of th« world. What per cent, of the autos of the world they owe has not been announced. The summer sun was just peeping over the hills of Alberta at Medicine Hat. A manifest f rieght on the Cana- dian Pacific was about to pull out foi Swift Current Saskatchewan, 145 mileseast. As the train "highballed' out I grabbed the steps of a gondola, containjing lumber. At Dunsmopt Junction, a few miles east, the "help- er" was cut off and returned down the heavy grade to the "Hat." In a few minutes the train was on its way to Maple Creek, the next stop. As the train slowed down at the water tank I noticed the familiar uniform of a "Mountie" alongside the cars. Taking off my coat, I went ovei the end of the car and stained to "test the air." by puling the air-valve handles. "Good morning, Brakie/' said the Mountie. "Good morning." I replied, and went along testing the air. "Have you any 'oboes on your train to-day?'' he asked. "Not a one," said .r'Well," he commented, "K we odn't get some hoboes pretty soon, we'll have to shine our own shoes." The engine had taken water and had backed down on the train. The train pulled out and as I pased the depot, I waved a fond farewell to the gent in the scarlet uniform. I arrived in Swift Curent a few hours later. The fellow who acts like a nut can hardly blame the rest of U6 i± we take a crack at him. i It's hard to give a bride a kitchen shower when you have to think «1 something besides a can-opener.
