"that they're ones that have guards." Mr. Shields had a. lot of praise for the Minister of Agriculture. One thing that he and Hon. Mr. Martin had in common was that they both "keep chickens."

Mr. Fin- layson charged that the Ottawa Gov- ernment had held up the water to an abnormal length of time, and the hon- orable member knows it." "Ottawa denies it," said Mr. Legault. "Know Differently." " don't care what Ottawa says," re- plied Mr. Finiayson. "We have the readings and we know differently." Mr. Sinclair. requesting "Order! 0r- derl" asked Mr. Finiayson to let Mr. Legauit go on with his address. Mr. Finlayson declared that Mr. Legault sought information. 7 - -- "The member Is glad to have the in- formation." said Mr. Finlayson. "Let me finish." i "What is the use," Mr. Sinclair ob- ileeted, "of men of sense courting sick- ness and death by staying out at such an unseemly hour as this? We have tobe here at 10 o'clock tpmorrow mprping." "fou have no right to make a. speech," Mr. Sinclair retorted. The Minister continued on the sub- Jeet of the Nipissing Lake levels. Mr. Sinclair shook his head, apparently in disgust. Mr. Legault reproposed to the Govern- ment his famous $10,000 wolf-hunt of- fer of last session. "A Real Country." Bo Dr. Robertson spoke to the House of the health problems dealt with by dentists. He referred to the detection ot i pyorrhoea and advances made in the (study of this disease. In: hoped that Mr. Costello, next speaker. urged the members to come down to Renfrew and see "a real country." However, said he, Renirew had "a roads problem." He said he wanted to speak "along the lines" of speakers trem North Ontario, and he requested the Government to do something toward bettering the back roads. He made a. special plea for his constituency. - _ _ 7_ He also wanted to impress on the Government the need of building a good road from Ottawa through the Ottawa Valley to the Algonquin Park head- quarters. It would also be linked up with Huntsville and the Muskoka dis- trict, and he thought such a system would be a real asset to Ontario. Algonquin Wolf Menace. Dr. Robertson. next on the list of speakers, noted that it was 11.30 p.m., and suggested that. instead of going on at that late hour, he be allowed to adjourn the debate, -- A in the Province, and -that more money should be spent by the Government in protecting game, Asks Leave to Adjourn. Mr. Costello declared that conditions in Algonquin Park were not as good as they should be. He discussed a wolf menace there which prohibited sheep- laisine: in the near-by districts. He declared that there was a. wolf menace throughout the Province that should be dealt with. He suggested "not a grand wolf hunt," as Mr. Legault pro- posed. but that trained wolf hunters should be hired to eliminate the wolves. He believed that trained men could get rid of wolves by use of snares._ -- . Hon. Mr. Henry, leading the Govern-t ment in the absence ot Premier Fergu- son. said that he understod there were to be two speakers after 11 p.m. "The Prime Minister," said he, "intimated to: me that he was anxious to get forward' and get, into Aupp1y_ear1y next_ week." Mr. Henry said the Whips had Er.. ranged the speakers' schedule, and that Dr. Robertson should go on. "Talk an hour anti" a half, then," Mr. Sinclair told his follower. "Give it to them. if they want it." the Research Foundation would offer assistance to any dentist or physician who sought to discover or offset the cause of the disease. He believed that 1r.ho1er1teartedlr Mtn Dr. Robertson observed that while ex- penditures in the educational system of the Province were $2,270,000 in 1912,) they were $9,333,000 In 1927. He noted that in 1028 this increased to $10,20t,d 614. "What," said he, "is going to hap- appointee was active politically. More- over, said he, there weren't more than tive Reformers holding positions as road overseers in those united counties. "Surely the Tories wouldn't do that?" said Hon. Harry G. Nixon (Progres- sive, Brant County). "Hldebound" Men. "Perhaps not all the Tories," said Dr. Robertson, "but both parties have a few men who are so hidebound and treacherous that they are not party men at all but grattertr." - - pen to the rural sections It this tyti.tl diture goes on? No wonder people are leaving the farms and going 'to the cities." He took exception to Premier Fer- guson's pollcy of technical education in the schools. Why, said he. didn't the exponents of such a. system establish on "agriculture technical school" in To- ronto and tell people that before they could go farming they had to get their knowledge at that school? At 12.15 a.m. Dr. Robertson again sought to adjourn the debate. The Speaker said that he understood that there was to have been sufficient time allotted to Dr. Robertson to finish his address that night. "Well," said Dr. Robertson going on with his speech. "there is no harm for a man to think so long as he doesn't express himself." He declared that dozens of people; from cities had taken up farms int Northumberland and that it was tb "shame" to see good property taken over by people who didn't know any- thing about farming, who failed and went back to the cities. Moreover, said he, as B result of those experiences on the farms, "many were dying of broken hearts." 7 "ifrriobertstyn next referred to the appointment of a roads otfteia1 in Dur- ham and Northumberland and how that
