Porteous, Conservative mem- ber for North Grey for the past five yeai-s was again chosen for the riding at a convention here on Saturday. More than 550 delegates attended. Mr. Porteous was the unanimous choice of the convention, five others nominated withdrawing in his favour James Jaclcson, President of the North Grey Co,:aervative Association, occu- pied the chair. -Mr. Porteous paid tribi.'i;e to the .-sincerity of Prime Minister R. B. Bennett. The candidate declared the capitalistic system must be reformed. "I do not believe that any man can earn several million dollars by the sweat of his brow; the system n€eds reform, and I am all for it," he said. John R. MacNicol, M.P. for Toronto Northwest, declared Mr. Porteous wag one of the best agriculturists in Par- liament. The Bennett tariff policy had been the "saving grace" of the Dominion, he said. The Prime Minister had lived up to his promises, and the Ottawa agree- ments were aiding fai-mers, were other remarks of Mr. MacXieol. The Liberals were in for a battle in the coming election, he declared. J. H. Myers, M.P. for Queen^s P.E.I., also defended the policies of the Ben- nett Government with regai-d to trade and tariffs. He said the Govern- ment had opened up markets of the world to Canadian goods. Fishermen Guilty Of Trespassing Charged with trespassing on the Beaver Valley Fishing Cluh property Messrs. E. L.

He must face the handicap that he :s an ex-caM\-ict and that narrows down to a small numbev of people who will give him a chance.

Hatchery Soon To Open Work on the government hatchery to hte erected in Si.llivan township, as as announced by Hon. H. C. Nixon, some time ago, is expected to get under way in a short time. It is under- stood that the Government officials in charge of this work are engaged elsewhere in the province at the pres- ent time, but expect to compbete the work there in a short time, and will then give their attention to Grey county hatchery. There is consid- able work to be done on the property before actual construction can com. nience, but the information is that every effort wil Ibe made to get the hatchery in good working order before the cold weather sets in this coming ffll.

Marie was a bright child, nearl.v eight years old, headed her class at school, and it was her delight to at- tend school. She was also a member with her sister Anne, of Proton Unit- ed Church Sunday School. Our deepest sympathy is extended to the bi'reaved ones who have suffer- ed this great loss, especially to the kind and loving grandmother, their faher's mother, who so tenderly cared for the children since the passing of their mother, nearly two and a half years ago.

Pedlar, an old .\rteniesia boy, who is the Chevrolet agency in that town. Ten Years of Union foot, A COOD APPEARANCE (Kin<-.*rdine News) There is nothing wihch adds more to a town than a good appearance. How often in your travels through- out Ontario has your attention been centred on the various stores in the secticf. you pass thi-ough. It seems that the general appearance of the main street of a town gives the trav- eller his impression of what the town really is. It is our belief that there is no town in which the merchants take more pride in their windows than Kinrarxline. A clean tidy and well- di-essed window means that the mer- chant has just that kind of stock in his store and it is his desire to serve his clientele with it. We have often notice that the merchants of the town change their window.s every few days thereby presenting a new picture of what they have for sale. The prob- ability is that a merchant dresses his windows for his own benefit, but the benefit also reflects on the town and the kind of people in it. The same goes for the general ap- pearance of tJie streets. This is a matter in which the council are es- pecially interested and they, as well as the men who have done the work ai-e to be congratulated on their ac- complishments. «<r»v Making the bank bills smaller may bo a convenience, but if the process of making them smaller isn't gone about faster^t will K> a ca<«e of little convenience and much nuisance. The old-time Pedlar went on .\nd ti-avelled iK'ar and far, Xnd carried pack upijn his back. He never had a car. But Petilar-i like the times have chang- ed. And gone one better ;,cc. He travels round now like a lord, In a fine new Chevrolet. The grat success, till now he's had Is very seldom seen. He tells the world the cars he's sold Now number seventeen. Said he, it's really just a start. You people now take heed. Just watch my smoke when once I get Fi-om low to higher speed. To help him speed up faster yet. He now has got a man, And Curly Halford's on the job. To help him all he can. For CuTly, he can take a car, .A.nd tune it up like new. Or sell to i'ou a Chevrolet, Or maybe even two. He talks in terms of spark and coil. And \-olts and. things like that. He has the 'lectric juice down fine, From ohm to kilowatt. .\nd ha.< he got the gift of gab. He beats all that I have met. He'd sell to Henry Ford in sight, A brand new Chevrolet. The decennial of the United Church ^ of Canada was observed here in St.' John's church on Sunday afternoon by a record congregation, which filled the church. . Rev. W. J. Scott, pastor, occupied the pulnit and with him weiV' t..o former ua^itoi-s beloveil by their congregations, Kev. H E. WelKvood, of Weston and Rev. Josenh Hairowei ' of MacTier. The latter delivered aj very searching address from the text "Whom say yo that I am?'" Rev. Wellwooii reviewed the success of the I Union of the three churches which took place ten years ago. The ad- 1 dresses of both these beloved pastors of former years were listened to with keen interest. The congregation sang with happyl i gusto and the choir rendered special I music. Mr. Murray Inkster of To- I ronto rcndered a baritone splo and Messrs. Robertson, Murray, EubanV and Cairns, a quartette. Rev.
