' ^ CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS A local lady experienced more ex- citement than she bargained for on a trip to Toronto last week. While she v/aa having lunch in the Ur\ion Sta- tion, she left her club bag in the wait- ing room. When she returned, the club bag had vanished. Immediately tretting in touch with a detective at the Union Station, a search was start- ed for the missing bag A che<;k-ur. at the station proved fruitless, sc Detective McAlister, who apparently had been faced with similar thefts SSK In 1865. the late Mrs. Hudson was man-ied to John Hudson, who pre- deceased her almost 31 years and to them were born four sons ana three daughters.

The doctors of the Housg of Com:nons. who constitute eleven per cent of the membership, have much more idea than the laymen wwhether or not the Prime Minister is likely to again assume the arduous tasks of Leader of the House and the Government party. Usually the length is determined by the Opposition, with the Govern- ment always anxious to bring the ses- sion to a close as rapidly a.s circum stances will pennit. .\t this time it appears that the official Opposi- tion, at any rate, are more anxious to conclude the session than is the Gov- rnment. T^he whole Opposition, in- cluding the 'Southeast Corner', have treated the Government extremely amiably, due in part to the son-ow over the sudden and serious illness of th€ Prime Minister; and in part to the fact that the House is being led by Sir George Perley, a man of advanced years. Sir George is dapper and alert, but nevertheless he is 78 years of age.

HAY MARKET REPORT l^e unemployment insurance bill finally passed third reading, with only three members voting against it Mr. Bourassa, J. F. Pouliot, and E. J Garland, for different reasons it would seem. Mr. Garland wanted a non-con,tributory insurance, that is the Government paying the whole amount as is the case with the old age pensions, mothers' allowance, etc He recognized, however the need ol fundamental changes in the financial system before this could be possible. His argument was that the present wages are too low to enable the work- ing people to pay the insurance char- ges. In the course of a very able speech, he put interesting materia! nr( record in Hansard. Quoting from the Child and Fam- ily Welfare bulletin he said: "At least 200,000 heads of families, pro- bably more, are receiving unemploy- ment relief and over 20,000 able- bodied, employable men are in relief camps, with perhaps 25,000 to 30,000 men temporarily engaged in relief Miv Ctecil 'Alexandetr suifferod a 1 works, with probably 25,000 more severely burned hand on Thursday 1 single homeless men idle in their own last through ani explosion of a paint 1 communities.

George! f^,. ^^^^^^ conservation before they limit; -A. fair supply of timothy and tim- othy mixtuws and alfalfa :is still available in the Owen Sound district and there has been some movement of alfalfa recently for meal manufac- turing purposes. There is a shortage of hay in a number nf counties in this part of Ontario but this is being off- set largely by other roughage such as corn stocks and stiaw supple- mented perhaps with molassess, so as to winter the stock without hay. There was a fair corn crop last year in most counties, which produced a fair quan- tity of good silage and besides ijianyj farmers have plenty of gi-ain, all of j which lessens the need for hay. It is believed that most counties will have| sufficient fodder to carry their stock! until at least April 1st, at which time there should be a fair demand for hay from outside sources. Prices being paid growers, per ton at principal market centres less freight costs are: for timothy no.l $16 to $16.50; no. 2, $14 to $16; no, 3, $12 to $14; wheat straw $7 to |8; oat straw $5.75 to $7.50. a piece of wiping cloth saturated with the mixture into a stove at Down and Richards garage when it suddenly buiist into flame, it came into contact with some coals in the ashes. The fire ignited the liquid on his hand as he was attempting to place the stove lid into position. The hand was blistered in several places and the victim suffered conhiderably from the burn. GIANT CLOCKS CARD OF THANKS Messrs. John and James Hudson and Mrs. Harry Heathcote wish to thank the friends and neighboi-s for The largest clock in the world is in the tower of a factory in New Jersey, U. S. A. The dial is fifty feet in diameter, the minute hand is 27ft. long. The minute hand travels 155 ft long The minute hand travels 155 ft. in an hour's journey round the dial, which works out at about 31 in. in a minute or 270 miles in a year. The clock on the House of Parliament in London may not be quite so large but it is the most accurate timepiect in the world and never varies more than one-fifth of a second It is reg- ulated by adding or removing a pen- nep to adjust the swing of the huge pendulum, the bob of which weighs 4 cwts. When this clock was first installed seventy-five years ago, the bell broke. A new one was cast, and the moment it was installed it cracked. Big Ben, as it is known all over the w<orl4, has (remained, cracked ever since. than 200,000 youthen and girls, say from 16, to 24 or 25, who are idle, unemployed and receiving relief either in their homes or as single persons." Mr. Garland pointed out that this agency estimated the cost at some- thing over $1,250,000 a week which amount is in excess of the railway deficit: an interesting comparison. This bill, said Mr. Garland, is said to be the keystone of the arch of the great social reform ))rograni and without this measure the rest mu-:st i falL He quoted authorities to show that out of the total gainfully em- ployed population in Canada .;260, 000 are not covered by the measure. The number includes the unemployed and the classes excluded. He made an interesting comparison of the Can adian bill with the British bill which was drafted 25 years ago and has been amended many times since. To nut it briefly, the conclusion ol the member for Bow River was th.at the unemployment insurance bill today does not meet the problem; it doe.-! not even approach it.

At this point the Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King asked if this provision for delayed en- forcement were not to get past the general election before the Act is tested. The Minister of Trade and Commerce said lie was "puite sure that no such idea prevailed." Tommy Church was opposed to ex- emptions since by such action somi eompauies would have advantage's ovei others. This amendmenl,'' he said, "gives the employei-s and employees the right to contract themselves out of the operations of the statute. I contend that there is altogether too much law about this act.
