George Hun: ter, Immigration Officer, to the Whig on Thursday morning. The officer states that the farmers | are badly in need of help on account i of sp few men coming out from Eng- | land. "In one week during the hay. | ing season I could have placed fifty men, but could not get one." At the present time there are a few men looking for work, but as; they are not the best class of men | for the farm the farmers will not take any chances. The farmers, seeing that they were going to be up against it for lack of hired help, arranged matters so that they work together and get the crops in. The men get together and bring in the different crops as fast as they are ready, and for that reason much work has been accomplished . Lr some cases women who are strong go j out in the fields and drive the horses | and also pitch hay, i Speaking about the genditions of the crops since the recent rains, Col, Hunter stated that farmers inform him that they will be at a great financial loss. The eorn crop in some cases will come up again. Any corn planted on clay will rise again, but the corp jn sand is a total loss. ------ Attention, Ladies!

'Mayor - Sutherland had an easy time of it on Thursday. Two drunks were the only offenders, amd both were given a chance. As both were over the age for recruits, the acting magistrate did not have a chance to make an appeal for recruits. "I have a job to go to at once," sald the first offender, "Get to your work and don't come back here again," remarked the ma- gistrate, The other fellow said he could get a job, and the magistrate told him to pet busy. WANTED TO BE A SOLDIER, But 'Will Likely Be Sent Back to Brockville: Home. i On Thursday W. H. Wyllie receiy- ed un letter from the authorities of a Home in Brockville, having the cus- tody of the Scotch boy who ran away from a farmer and came fo Kingston to enlist for service at the front. If the farmer does not want to take the boy back hé€ will be sent to the Home in Breckville. This is the youngster who wanted to get to the front to have a shot at the Germans, in order to avenge the death of his ®rother. He had a brother wounded. > Death of U. 8. Oonsul"s Father.

The men are off parade at 4.30 o'clock. A prominent member of the Wo. men's Christian Temperance Union, when interviewed by the Whig, said: "I that is all.the board can do for us they might just as well leave the matter alone." Rev. George 8. Clendinnen, pastor of Brock Street Methodist Church, stated that he believed the early clos- lg hours would relieve the situation somewhat. Rev. Dr. Malcolm ®acgillivray, Moderator of the Progbyterian "As. sembly, said the temperance work- ers wanted the bars to close at six o'clock, as they felt more could be accompuished. He believed the en- tire trafic should go. Some people ask the question "What will the Provincial Board do if the soldiers are quartered in Kingston this winter, the same as the 21st Battalion was last winter?" Rev. G. 1. Campbell appreciated what the commission had done; he had hoped that the bars would have been placed out of bounds. The hotelmen are up in arms over the action. Nome of them hesitate to say that almost three-quarters of the bar trade will be lost. It may ruin some hotels was what a Whig reporter was told by certai prietors. y Pe A. A. Welsh, proprietor of the Ho- tel Frontenac asserted that he thought a soldier should be placed on the same level as a civilian be- cause many a pretty decent chap in uniform ,comes in after hours and is refused. The time limit already is too short and to cut him off al most entirely is both detrimental to the soldier and to. business. J. Hanley at the Brjtish American Hotel declares that if business is in- jured by: the 'Provincial License Board's action, we will have to raise the hotel rates to make good the loss. A menth's trial will be given to test the result and if it is seen that business has been = decreased then some action will take place. From the Windsor Hotel comes the advice that the wholesale liquor stores will be made a picnic resort. The Provincial License Board's act- lon is as bad as putting a 'man on the Indian list. J. M. Theriault looks at it from the working man's point of view. He thinks all soldiers should be banned and leave the working man alone, free to drink when he an opportugity. As it now stands he cannot secure a draught until eight o'clock in the morning and by. that time he is at work.: All day he cannot touch it and when evening comes by the time he goes home and dresses for the night it is 'too late. Mr. Theriault stated that he thought many men would not go home. and their families would suffer thereby. It an also injure business wonder- fully. : A ------------------------ "26c Baby Cough Syrup, 16e," Gibson's. The College Book Store, Phone 919. OPEN NIGHTS. Get In Line For.
