A call for the placing of tariff on vegetables and fruits on the basis of 80 much per pound, instead of ae- cording to value, was made on Fri- day night by the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Association, the demand coming from Walter J. Cooke, King- ston, the new president, who felt that this change in the method of collecting tariff would do away with many of the evils of the system. As ~ (A Comic.)

Wil you tell me Mr. Cooke outlined his case, the vegetable growers now face a stiff handicap in the lack of tariff pro- tection; but if the Federal govern- ment did not see fit to increase the protection, he believed the officials could overcome a part of the handi- cap which was placed on the vege- table and fruit growers by doing away with the present system of collection. As it worked out now, there was nothing in the tariff laws to prevent dumping, for, as he put it, the Dumping Act did not guard against the difficulties of enforce- pent. So, as the tariff worked out, the American growers had-a surplus of supplies on hand long before the Canadian-grown product was ready for the market, and they flooded the Canadian stores with cheap and in- ferior goods. By under-quoting on prices, the shippers were able to defeat the aims of the tariff, and the government not only lost money, but the local growers suffered. If the tariff were based on weight instead of on values, the difficulty would He overcome; 'there could be mo dump- ing, and there would not be the same incentive on the part of the im- porters. to go after the cheap pro- duets in order to get lower duties. Further, Mr. Cooke pointed out that the tariff worked a hardship in the case of partly-spoiled produce. According to the present arrange- ment, the importer who was able to show that the produce was spoiled was able fo get a reduction in the tariff, but it the Federal govern- ment would refuse to allow rebates in such cases, a big step would be taken in the direction of overcoming the tendency of the American grow- ers to flood the Canadian market with the half-spolled or inferior 4 goods. If the Canadian importer discovered that the same tariff had to be paid on the inferior produce as on the high grades, and {if he found there were no rebate for spoiled goods, he would see that only the high grade goods were im- ported. That would tend to keep up the prices on the Ip eried Soods, and accordin the bu would be less free > the appetite of the Canadian public would be less sated by the time the Homegrown produce was ready for the market. The con- vention agreed that Mr. Cooke's sug- gestion was a good one, and acecord- ingly an appeal will be made to the Federal government to institute the change. = Emmons<Grant Wedding. A quiet wedding was solemnized on Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, Brook street, when Mildred Jessie Grant, daugh- ter of Mrs. J. Grant became the bride of Mr. Herman Ellison Em- mons, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman A. Emmons, Westbrooke. Rev. J. §. LaFlair officiated. The couple were unattended. The bride who was giv- en away by her brother Mr. W. Grant, wore a pretty frock of nave blue flat. silk crepe, and carried ophelia roses. The wedding music was played by Miss Fannie Peters, After the ceremony a reception was held, the table being centered with the wedding cake. An imteresting feature was that the decorations used on the bride's wedding cake were the same that were uséd on her mother's wedding cake. 'The groom's gift to the bride was" a string of pearls and to Miss Peters a pearl ring. Mr. and Mrs. Emmons left for points west, the bride tra- velling in a brown costume. A .|{ ing of the Methodist church, held at In these tentative plans the stage is placed across what was the main entrance to the library and will pro- Ject back into the present hall way and the two adjoining rooms, The wall will be removed to make the : proscenium arch, Dressing rooms!f will be made on either side of the stage. One entrance 'will be made through one of the dows and another entrance will be made through the main hall and around the south side of the stage. The stage itself will be 23 by 14 feet, which will give ample room for most little theatre plays. The floor of the auditorium will be raised and the pillars will be strip ped of the enclosing wood work so that an excellent view will be had of the stage from all parts of the room. The seating capacity of floor and gallery will be between four - and five hundred. There will be eleven rows of seats. The theatre will be available for lectures and lantern ex- hibitionis and should be obtainable by local societies which are giving dramatic exhibitions.
