If-I were a young woman about to be married I would make my intended husband promise to live in that ideal burg. There are no Clubs there for hubby to be staying out late at night, no theatres, or dissipations {of any kind. It is just an ideal place to stagnate in. No debating or pol- itical Clubs to polish up the brains, no musical or dramatic societies to afford innocent and stimulating food for the mind. No advanced educational features for the betterment of the young men and women growing up in the midst, no literary society for the discussion of the literature of the present or past ages, not even a lawn for a game of bowls True the town boasts of an orchestra, and a ball team--but what about foot- ball, hockey, and rowing, with all the advantages of the lake. The only excitement seems to be watching the expresses pull in and out and spec- ulating on probable arrivals and possible departures. And what has Dryden done for the district? Instead af taking the leading part in initiating schemes that would tend towards the development of the country ,it sits there in the centre like a gigantic spider, grabbing at every- thing that comes into the web, but giving nothing in return. Where is the wonderful telephone system that "was to link town and country--what | has happened to the power line that {was to help relieve the drudgery on the farm. And echo answers "where." Go into town anytime and get inte Iconversation with any of its people and you meet with a cordiality and {a whole hearted agreement on any o. the pressing problems of the country- side. We all have our ideas on what is wanted and they are as numerous and varied as the population, but tili 'the town throughly grasps the idea that its existence depends upon a 'healthy and thriving state in the farming community surrounding if, . the ideas will remain just ideas. ¥ il i 1 : And so Pete Heenan's language up- Lset the Port Arthur Chronicle. Not because it was profane or improper, but simply because he used: the past { participle in place of the past tense. When you think of it, is it not an awful crime? And is it not just like the old time politicians. When they could not attack a man's policy fairly, they get down to personalities, make fun of his mannerisms, clothes and .even speech. Any thing to bring dis- credit upon an opponent whom they could not meet in the open. The day for such puerilities is past. We live in a new era and a man is judged not by what he says, but by what he does. Don't worry Pete, make all the solecisms you like; you have the real people behind you. And by the way will the Chronicle tell us of another individual who lives down that way. His name is Keefer, and he is supposed to represent this end of the riding as well as Port Ar- 8 | thur. It is nearly four years ago since Le was elected, but we have not heard much of him in this district. The Farmers would very much like to hear his views on some of the quest- ions of the day, and would not worry very much whether his speech was grammatical or otherwise, but would certainly like to know what he looks like. The Grain harvest is in full swing, and the cutting is about equally de- vided between the binder and the mower, whilst in some cases the scyth § | and the cradle have been brought in- to operation, With the early harvest the . fall plowing has got under way, and a considerable amount of sod has al- ready been turned under. From all accounts the clover seed erop is below normal this year. Negotiations for the purchase of the store in Oxdrift having fallen through, the Farmers have decided to build for themselves. This possibly is the best course, for there is plenty of room for two stores in the district, and competition is said to be the soul of business. - : All the timber in this country is not found growing in the forests. Try to convince some of your acquaint- ances that the Farmers have a perfect and legimate right to organise for their own protection and interests, BASEBALL IN. fulfilment of a long-promised visit the ball team from Sioux Lookout arrived here Thursday noon, and play- ed two exhibition games with the Dryden nine. : The Sioux travelled by the govern- ment road westward to Rochon, where they were met by a number of auto- mobiles which carried them over the eighteen miles of road to Dryden. There were about 25 in the party, in- cluding some ladies. Their line-up included Eddie Cole, an old-time Dryden star, now a successful mer- chant in the younger town. : The boys from Sioux Lookout were accorded the heartiest of welcomes from Dryden, and the visit served to draw attention to the unfortunate fact that we--their nearest neighbour ----are able to enjoy so little inter- course with them. : The explanation, of course, is found in the lack of transportation between the two points. Once more it is a question of roads. The actual distance between our towns is about thirtyfive miles; but the problem of opening some kind of a road through is admit- tedly a difficult one. = But with the considerable advantages to both towns considered, a combined effort to secure the opening of a way of communica- tion might not be beyond possibility. T.ocal fans were agreeably surprised to see such a worthy aggregation of ball players from Sioux Lookout. The boys have not had much chance during the summer to play away from hone, and have been compelled to split their team to promote attractive games at home. Nevertheless, they put up a good exhibition game though they were easily out-classed by the more experienced play of the Dryden combination. After the game the Dryden Athlet- ic gave a dance to entertain their visi- tors. As the big hall had been previ- ously engaged, Mr R J Pronger very generously placed his store at their disposal, and an enjoyable little dance was engaged in. : a good clean bunch of sorts whom it ig a pleasure to meet on the ball ground. The next tussle between the two towns will b looked forward te with keen pleasure... The local team con- template paying a return visit to Sioux Lookout at an early date-- possibly Labour Day. Fans from Dryden who wish to go along are tip- ped off to keep track of the date when it is announced later. : The Games. : The afternoon game wa rather loose ab the start, but towards the finish showed signs of ightening up by both teams. Colburne started for Sioux Lookout, but had to give up. He was relieved by Cole who, although he was hit hard, held the score down pretty fair.- Dryden won by a score of 16 to 8. = Batteries: S. L. -- Colburne and McKinnon. Dryden, Beddome and Adair. The evening game, which drew a 'remarkable turnout of spectators, was a good exhibition of fine ball, each team executing several snappy plays in th e infield. The outfield work of Jackson and Dickson was an example of fielding par excellence. Ackobie pitched this game, and was given such support as made the result a foregone conclusion. Again the score showed the advantage to be with the home team by 12-8. Live agent Wanted at Dryden for Watkins 137 products. Watkins goods known everywhere. Other ter- ritories open. Write today.

Dryden was named after one of the leading agriculturalists of the day in Ontario, but one would like to know what our Farmer Premier's thoughts were when he arrived there the other day and found no voice to welcome him. The same thing occurred a few years ago when the Duke of Conn- aught was touring the west and stoppe at Dryden for a few minutes. Luckily the then editor of the Ob- server, Mr Osborne ws on hand and stepped into the breach to do the honours of the town. Now it is arran- ged for Mayor Pitt to be the spokes man when occasion arises, so why not change the name and call it anes The visitors left the impression with | our team and also the spectators as Batteries: S.

The note of acceptance was transmitted by Ambassador Har- vey and was delivered to him by Lord Cruzon, the British Foreign Minister. Lord Cruzon in the note said: "I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the invitation proffered to | His Majesty's government by the gov- ernment of the United States to | participate in a conference at Wash- ington beginning on the 11th of No- vember next, for the discussion of limitation of armaments, and in con- nection therewith of the international problems presented by the Pacific and the Far-East. : "It is with sincere gratification that I have the honour on behalf of His Majesty's government to request your excellency to convey to the United States government our ready accept- in this auspicious meeting with ob- jects of which His Majesty's govern- ment and the British Nation are in wholehearted sympathy. It is the earnest and confident hope of his Majesty's government that this con- ference approached, as it will be, by all concerned in a spirit of courage, may achieve far-reaching results that will be conducive to the prosperity and peace of the world."

The prime minister told a number of newspapermen that he was plan- ning to make a number of addresses in public. He was not prepared to state the exact dates and places, but it is understood that he is planning to speak in a number of Ontario} towns. He stated quite positively that he would start soon, and that he would declare his decision in regard to an election then. It is thought that he will pay a visit to Toronto during the first week of the exhibition, and it is possible that he may speak in that city.
