(Wiarton Echo) Several of our readers remarked to us last week tliat they were glad that Agnes MacPhail's lettei-s were in the Echo again. We are not in Misi MacPhails riding and so are not en- titled to her weekly letters, but we read them in some of our exchanges and wrote asking that we might be favored with them, and she very kind- ly complied, and now we are on her regulai- mailing list. We find it much easier to read her summary of the week's news than to peruse Hansard. We may»not always agree wth her, but at least her summary of the Fed- eral members is refreshing. Likt many other she cannot swallow the sudden activity of the Prime Minister, who has made such a right about face in the principles of the Conservative Party. It savors too much of before- the-election propaganda. On the other hand, it has certainly been a bombshell to MacKenzie King, who believed that his party was sitting pretty and ready to step up without much effort. No wonder Agnes is enjoying the situation. THE VARIETY STORE IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT The former owner, S. L.
