While maintaining similar re- ticence Mr. Dunning is believed to be of the opinion that nothing is to be gained by precipitate action and that it will be better for the goternment to seek support through its legisla- tion next session than to undertake any bargaining hy word of mouth beforehand. Crerar laid down certain conditions, At is felt that his coming into cabinet under such conditions might create suspicion against the govern- ment in the east.

It was the slgwest trip the vessel ever made, Captain Hayes would not tell why he slowéd down his ship so that ghe made only 216 miles in 25 hours. Conetdérations of that sort, it was in- timated, were his affairs, but some- times passengers would not let him keep his secret. He was willing. to tell about the storm and how his liner behaved, but nothing elsé. * Some on board explained, however, that Betty Read, a young girl, badly fn- jured in an automobilé accident, was lying, unable to move, on ad air bed Captain Hayes wanted to save her the agony of sharp tofising about in a heavy seaway and therefore cut down the speed of his vessel. VITAL NEED IS. THRIFT SAYS HON. W. F. NICKLE Who Thinks People Are Spending Too Much Money + on Motor Cars. Toronto, Jan. 12.--All possible honor from his own riding came to Hon. George S.. Heary, provincial minister of public works and high- ways at a banquet which East York citizens last evening tendered to him in the Prince George hotel. Hon. W. F. Nickle paid high tribute to Mr. Henry. In the opinion of Mr. Nickle,-the vital need of the hour was thrift by the government and by the people. He computed that Ontario's yearly tribute to motor cars was $129,000, the fleld crops of the province was only $220,000, should be the granary' not only 'ot Canada bw also of the world. The low pricé which the western farmer was securing for his produce, there- fore, was.a matter of vital concern to Ontario. Fully seventy-five per cent. of the money which the western farm. er spent found its way back to On- tario, so that this province was in- terested in the closest fashion with the recovery that would be hoped for in that part of the country. s A --------. 002922300000 000000 Ld > # HOPE ABANDONED' * : © OF SAVING CREW ¢ * Se - #4 London, Jan. 12.<The Ad- ¢ secnessees 90800 meee SHOE: AND STOCKING FUND The fund for the Rotary Club's Shoe and Stocking Fund is grow.ag' and the members of the Oo are veiy pleased to have the support of the citizens in their undertaking. | On Saturday the following subscrip- tions, were reported by the rman Nas) ot the special committee, Dr H.
