Toronto, Sept. 3.--Before the On- tarlo Municipal Association this morning, Premier E. C. Drury again | seized the opportunity to present his views on the hydro radial commis- sion and to answer criticism of muni- " ecipality representatives. The premier pleaded for fairness and unselfish- ness, stating that he was "merely a man, who wanted to xnow in orderd.. to do my duty." The government J believed itself responsible, he reaf- _ #trmed. "I have been misrepresented by in- terests which seem to be working to" destroy the Hydro Electric commis- | sion as well as the government," he said. "I belfeve the Hyro Electric resources of this province are as much the property of the province as the mines and forests." He assured the delegafes that the government had not, and would not, place a single straw in the way of development of power for the peo- ple. The premier admitted that speed Was necessary and that it would be almost a crime to deldy the develop- ment of a single h rse-power with the fast dwindling resources of coal at the present time. He stated that 'the commission might find that there were binding contracts with some of the municipalities: that could not be broken, but the government had the right to know the details.

He reiterated the gov. ernment was willing to grant - Ireland any form of government acceptable to the majority of the people, so long as the rights of the Empire should be em. ployed to prevent secession in Ireland. , ---- BOY IS MENTALLY DEFECTIVE. Arnel Love Must Not Return to His Former Home. of Arnel Love that he murdered his 'mother, for which crime his father was hanged at Owen Sound, has been shattered by statements made by him since he has been under the observa- Asylum. The story he tfld at the trial has been compared with his con- fession and with statements made doctors are now convinced that he had nothing to d¢ with the actual killing of his mother. ? From the confession made by the boy, and certain pecularities notic- ed since his confinement, the au- thorities are of the opinion that Ar- nel Love is a mental defective and must for some nfonths yet remain under observation and - treatment. Whether or not he will recover suf- ficiently to secure his release cannot be decided now, he is given his freedom it will be conditional upon his not returning to Grey county, wh®re the murder was committed. : LINDSAY MAN SAID TO BE A BIGAMIST ---------- Alleged to Have Across Atlantic, While Hay ing Wife in Canada. received word from Toronto police | question regarding 'a young Lindsay citizen gamy.

The casualty list was increased by four dead and fifty wounded, making the total since last week twenty- | three dead and 260 wounded.

F. Tolmie, Fede- ral Minister of Agriculture, in -ad- dressing a luncheon tendered by the Directors of the Great Eastern Exi)- bition here, at which he was the guest of honor. A note of warning was sounded by the Minister, who expressed the fear that Canada might be repeating the history of other sec- tions of North America in impover- ishing the land by the ruinous one- crop system. He based thia fear upon the figures, which show 11,000,000 acres sown to wheat in 1911 with an average yield per acre of 20 bus Lels, as against the 19,000,000 acres sown to/wheat in 1919 with an aver- age yield per acre of 10 bushels. Dr. Tolmie urged greater produc- tion, and to that end begged the farmers to take advantage of the op- portunity offered by the colleges es- tablished under the Department of Agriculture for obtaining informa- tion and assistance with regard to modern scientific methods of farm- ing. in giving vent to his views.
