THE FLOOD STARTED. | After a few years of greatly re- {duced Immigration to Canada, there lie an apparent revival. |last, from Scotland and England {alone, steamships sailed with five | thousana citizens for this country, |eelected immigrants who are coming {here to occupy the positions for which they are most needed ard best fitted. This is but the beginning of {a flood of immigration which is cer- {tain to grow as the year progresses, Jand which will bring to this country tits proper proportion of the people {of the old land who, anxious to get away from the conditions in Britain, | are seeking new homes in the col- onjes. { Five thousand immigrants on one day means a great deal to Canada, particularly as the great majority of them are agricultural workars, com- ing to this country to make an effort fo wrest a livelihood from the mil- lions of empty acres which lie with- in the Dominfon. With Australia jand New Zealand competing keenly i for immigrants of this kind, we are i fortunate to be able to secure this ilarge proportion, for these Domin- {ions are offering much ir the way of | bonuses for all who seek to establish | themselves there. There must be {soma great reason why Canada is {able to secure these settlers, apart |from the fact that there are, In this country, hundfeds of thousands of old country people who are its beet publicity agents in the securing of |new immigrants.

'The most en- | couraging feature in the increase in { immigration is that the thousands j who are coming now pre not work- ers who will crowd the cilles and make for aggravated unempioyment conditions, but agricultural workers } Who will go out on the land and add {to the farm prcduction of the coun- [iry. This is the result of the wise | policy of selection adopted by the } resent administration, which is just- ly entitled to the credit for bringing to our shores immigrants of the right calibre in numbers which will be felt in increased prosperity throughout the country. PREMIER DRURY'S POSITION. One of the most interesting, and the most fmpontant points in the provincial election campaign which is already on its wav, is the bitter fight which is going on between Premier Drury and the Farmers' Sun, which claims to be the official | organ of the UF.O. There Is a Istrong belief, and it is not without foundation, that those who are be- hind the Farmers' Sun were respcn- sible for the outburst of Andrew Hicks, which precipitated the decis- ion of the premier to hold an imme- diate election. The attitude of this newspaper is hot a hard one to nn- derstand, if it is first understood that those who control it are a solid unit in keeping the U.F.0. ag a purely class organization. This is only a recent development of policy on the part of this journal. When the U. F. O came into power in 1919, there were no such quahns regarding the acceptance of alliance with other parties in order that their represen- tatives would be enabled to form a government. The alliance with Iabour was hailed as a splendid move, and for a time the Bun fev- oured this course of action. The change which has taken place in its attitude is the result of the possibil- \ lals and the U.F.0., and whether or | not there was any definite proposal for such an alliance, it has had the effect of raising a new issue within the U.F.0. party which threatens to {Wreck it as a formidable factor in Provincial politics. | | The 'opposition which the Sun is! showing to Mr. Drury may be the re- | sult of the disgruntled attitude of J. J. Morrison towards the premier. ! There can only for Mr. Morrison's attitude. In 1919, he was the premier-maker, and hLe | called in Mr. Drury. But as tha term of the legislature progressed, {be felt that he had selected the wrong man. He had selected a man who would not accept dictation from | | kim, and who had his own convic- | tions and stuck to them. Mr. Drury | | Was too strong to be ruled by J. J t | Morrison, and when 'the premier an. | | Rounced his broadening-out policy, | | this gave Mr. Morrison his oppor- | | tunity. It is quite apparent that he | {would be willing to wreck the farm- | ler government if in doing so he | {could end the political ambitions of | {the premier. The whole question, however, is! tnot one of what Mr. Morrison desires | lor what Premier Drury wishes to do. | | These men will act only as their fol- |lowers wish them to do. The rural | | districts of Ontario are split into two | camps, and the one which Is supreme in the election will dictate to the | {leader what bis policy in regard to | |aldances will be. Mr. Drury may | | desire with all his heart, as he says | (he. does, to secure support from | other parties in order to enable him ! [to continue in power. He is doubt- | less quite sincere in seeking to broad- | {en out his platform so that it will | | bear others who are not farmers but i who will be willing to give him sup-! port. But the question is whether | |the farmers will fall in line with {such a policy, whether the U.F.C.| | candidates who may be elected will [stand behind Mr. Drury as he seoks | {to strengthen his own hands by | forming another coalition govern- | | ment. The incidents of the past | | few weeks have shown clearly that | there are many of the U.F.O. sup- porters who will have nothing to do with any who are not farmers, who are not out and out U.F.O. men. | This is the class from which the city | districts of the province can look for | little sympathy. This is the class | with which Mr. Drury will have to | contend. No matter how large al group Mr. Drury may have behind | Lim after the election, he will be at | the mercy of these members. If he | is strong enough to form an adm!nis- | tration by making an alliance with some other group, he will still be at their mercy, and this means that the province will be'at their mercy. This | is not a good thing for Ontario, and | the only way it can be solved is for | the electorate throughout Ontario to realize the situation as it exists and | refuse to elect men who Will repre- | sent only their own particular class, | and leave the others without a part in the administration of their affairs. | The Drury government as it stands | to-day is founded on a bed of sand. | It is for the electors to say wheslgr | or not they wish this kind of govern- | ment, and we are confident that it | will not meet with their approval. * ay i PRESS COMMENT jl Britain Will Fashion It. | Under the new barley preference | Ontario will grow the barley, but | Britain will fashion it into its fav- | orite form of Jem Barleycorn.--To- | ronto Globe.

Keeping the flesh pressed down, push a small wisp of absorbent cotton 'be- tween the nail and the flesh. Wash out once a day end place in fresh piece of cotton. Keep this up until the flesh is completely healed. This may be a long tedious job, but re- member you are getting relief from the pain, and may be keeping a mild case from becoming a gerious condition. It you have a severe case with ex- cessive ulceration you would be wise to consult expert advice. You see, cuttifig the nail is not sufficient in these cases, as the tissue that manu- factures the nail must also be ry moved. If any part of this is left in it will grow a piece of nail along- side the other nafl, and may give further trouble. 4 Don't let the mild form become a severe case. : | Call not that man wretched who, x : - - ¥ ES --T| *- é BIBBY'S OUR SPECIAL SALE PRICES ARE MAKING A STRONG APPEAL TO YOUR POCKET BOOK SEE OUR 22.50 TOPCOATS Made from all Wool Eng- lish Cheviots in medium, light and dark shades of Grey--splendidly tailored in Men's and Young Men's models.
