ONTARIO -- Plain Diri Farmer From Peel Is Ontario's Nexi Prime Ninisger (by Bill Cranston ia thc Midland Free Press) Colonel, the Honourable Thom- as Laird Kennedy, successor to Col. Drew as Premier of Oatario, la a dirt farmer. As a hobby he has served for mnany years now as the province's Miaister of Agrieulture, under both George Henry and George Drew. Just seveaty years old, weighing &bout 180 pounds, Tom Kennedy has had a 11e-long ambition to ibe six feet tall but stili lacks one half inch. He was born in Dixie, Ontario, of Yorkshire and North Irish par- entage and is a fourth generation Canadian. Ail of wbich doesn't ex- plain the origia of his second name. NO LIBERAL TINGE Col. Kennedy doesn't believe la avolution. Man couldn't'have evol- ved from the monkeys because as far back as the new premier of Ontario can trace bis famiiy tree, his grandparents and their grand- parents were Conservatives witiî not even a "Liberai" tinge.

Embree and Miss Nel- lie Spence have a major place in bis memories but ho denies em- pbaticaily that their attempts to instill anything but athletic prow- ess" labo bis mmnd and body were of noticeable succoss. MANY SPORTS TROPHIES Nevertheless he graduated from coliegiate, taking with hlm count- less sports trophies. Col. Kennedy played la bbc On- tario Association Football final in 1898, and la the Senior Rugby finals with Osgoodo Hall. The re- collection that bis teamn lost both games is a bit bazy, but be is quite certain of the fact that the Osgoode game was played la 18 inches of snow. Somo of tbe characiers la Scott's novels were bis boybood heroes but be isn't sure now just who or why. Threaiened witb tubercul- osis as ho was about to enter Osgoode Hall, Mr. Kennedy went north in 1900 for three years and thea took up farm- ing at Dixie on bis grand- father's land.

He berms the Great war "desolation and fooiish- ness" and says no more. Physicaily incapacitated for fur- ther service be was forced to leave France la 1916 and was confined to the Toronto. General Hospital until 1917. Prom 1923 to 1925, Mr. àennedy was Officer Commanding the lst Cavalry Regiment of Canada and later was la command o! the lst Cavalry Brigade o! Peel-Dufferin.

Mr. BaIl and bis helper were grinding grain on the barn floor when a shower of sparks caused by an unnoticed nail in the grain streamed out to an adjacent bay liow. Plames instantly leaped up to the roof and there was time to save only a new combine on the barn floor.

Nolan Sisson, formerly gen-i eral manager of The Timmins Daily Press, who last week pur- chased The Trenton Courier-Ad- vocate from The Times Publish- ing Compaay of Oshawa, was sel'- iously ijured early Tuesday moraing, Oct. 12, when the Buick l ambition, but he always did "love a fight." Howard Ferguson and Senator Blaine o! Peel came to hlm one day and told hirm that he was the only mania his county who could beat the sitting Liberal member. As Tom Kennedy putss h, "they got me." He bas seldomn been sorry that he entered politics because " it is rather pleasing if you sometimes can do some good," and he also has a nico big office now where he can bang that picture o! Sir John A. BIGGEST MAJORITy Ia 1919 ho won the Peel clection by 98 votes and ten years later turned it into the largest m'ajority that aay party bas ever had in that riding. Now Peel and Kennaedy are synonymous. Tom Kennedy bas fitted iato the Department o! Agriculture lnaa way in which bis associates and subordinates are also his friends. Ho bas a policy but no slog- ans. The policy bas been "a dollar more for the farmor." lit bas been a hydra-hoadod dollar. Evory time he bas ex- haustod one way of getting an extra dollar for the farmer, anotber springs in its place. Col. Kennedy believes the future greatness of Ontario lies with its farmers, and like a good preacher, follows his advice and sticks to the soil. LIKES NEWSPAPERS Btter than anything else he likes working on bis farm, but he also likes newspapers, "even the Toronto Star." It seems to puzzle hlm a bit why the reporters are 50 nice to him. His only recreation is working day in and day out with most nights lncluded. Answering letters is his pet aversion to which bis secretary will testify. Tom Kennedy likes cam- paigning in bis own constitu- oncy because be enJoys talking with farmers be knows, but he is "«no so keen" about ad- dressing political meetings elsewbere. He is khy. SCOTCH RESERVE It is bard to believe that this deep-voiced man with bis kindly smile, deep-set eyes twinkling be- bind a pair of glasses, and irreg- ular, tanned, and furrowed face, could be sby. But there is some- tbing of a Scotch reserve in bis nature. He moves bis tongue back and forth across his lips as ho writes as thougb contemplating the oral effect of each sentence. His gnarl- ed, experienced bands beat a tattoo when he faces a difficuit problem. Thon ho smiles quietly at the flow- ers wbich are inevitably on bis desk. and solves it. Tom tLýennedy tells a story about this di ffidence of bis. He neyer liked shaking hands witb people ho didn't know. A year after be was lected to the provincial bouse for the first time, Senator Biaine came to bim and told hlm be was losing support by not being more friendly with the farmers. So ho decided tbat, at bis next meeting, at tbe Bolton Pair, be would follow the Senator's inst- ructions. He stood outside the entrance to the hall and shook bands with everybody and "was getting along famously." A man and a woman and child approached hlm. He shook hands with the man, then the woman. Looking down ai tho kiddie he remarked on bis resemblance to bis father. To which tbe woman Indig- nantly replied: "That man's not my husband!" Ail of wbicb may or m'ay not be good training for Ontario's iext prime minister. 2 TINS 0F BABY FOOD Buy any two or more.
