JAMES L. DUNCAN. Prime Minister busy Receiving Callers ~~Conservatives Express Confidence in Coming Election Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 7.--Cabinet re- organization and the question of who will go and who will stay in the re- constructed Meighen Government is being discussed with interest in the Capital. The stream of political vis- itors, some of whom are mentioned as Cabinet aspirants, continues to flow into the office of the Prime Minister, but little of a definite nature can be gleaned as resulting from the con- ferences which are being held. Among the Prime Minister's callers this morning were W. S. Middlebro, chief whip of the Government party, and Dr Blake, of Winnipeg, one of his lieu-. 1 &eronts, Both of them professed con-| result of the coming Hume Cronyn, of London, ifidnee on the jelonuins, who announced his retirement from 13 i 'he political field somé days ago, ds j alien town, and it is understood that : y influence is belng brought to , wezr on him to re-consider hig decisio.n | George Allen, member for South !

The work of excavating the new basement was begun on Mon- day morning, and is being done by the members themselves under the drec- tion of C. Morton. The building is to be fifty by twenty-four feet, and is situated on the trunk road near Ox- drift Station. To many, the idea of a co-operative store seems a new thing, but it is seven years ago since the project was mooted. If the farmers from one end of the district to the other have the fact that they did not get a square deal in the matter of trade, and that although they contributed the greater part to the prosperity of the community, they themselves got the least out of it. The Success of the Clover Growers Association in spite of every difficulty was a sure sign that if the store busi- ness was not a long way off, and with the big drop in the price of all farm produce with no appreciable reduction in the cost of such necessities as clothing, boots, hardware, tea, coffee, sugar, and the hundred and one re- quirements in daily use, it was felt that the time was opportune for the farmer to do his own buying and selling. The officials of the Company are with one exception all pieneers in the district. They can all look back upon nearly twenty years of hard work and endouver to bring this country into prominence it now holds. It will be a very new-comer indeed who has not heard ef the President, Fred Brignall, or the Vice-President, Jos Tuckey. The directors, Robt. Latimer, Con Schnider N. D. Dickson, Chas. Morton and Jno. McKay, need no introduction to the public of the Dryden district, any more than does the Sec-Treasury, W. W. Howell. The Company is incorporated under the Ontario Companies Act, under the title of the Oxdrift Co-operative Com- pany, Limited. Its capital is $14,000, divided into 280 shares of $50.00 each, of which the greater portion is al- ready subscribed, and any one inter- ested in the co-operative: movement would do well to get in touch with any of the officials before it is too late. The by-laws of the Company have been formed with the greatest care, so as o give every possible chance to the smallest investor. Only twenty-five per cent of the subscribed stock is called for at any one time, and at least 30 days must elapse between calls. The choice of Oxdrift as the site for the store was not arrived at pre- aturely. The claims of Dryden as be- ing more central were considered, but the directors felt that with the num- ber of stores already in existence it would not be wise to open there in the first place.

It was only last week that business calle d the writer it is {into Dryden, and passing along the Street, I overtook a couple of stran- gers. Part of the conversation caught my ear, and it must have been in connection with the agriculture, for I heard the remark "Oh he's only a farmer." Sizing up the pair I came to the conclusion that they were mem- hers of the fraternity known as drummers" or commercial travellers. But the phrase struck. Why the qualifi ying \vord "only."

QUIBELL NOTES The Women's Institute Meeting was held at the home of Mrs Pete Paradis, on Saturday, September 3, having a good attendance. A pie social and dance was arranged for to take place after the seed fair, to be held on Sep- tember 13th, the proceeds will go to help buying new desks for the School House, as at present there "is not enough to meet the demands, having such a large attendance. = The School will will soon have to be enlarged, which is at present under discussion. A new floor is soon to be laid in the School House and a new brick chimney built. After a most appetising tea served by Mre Pete, the crowd walked over to the home of Mr Louis Paradis for a free-for-all dance followed by a lovely supper, nearly all of Quibell -being there. Mr Williams, P. O. Par- adis and Mrs McEwen very kindly gave free use of their cars to convey the people back. Mr Johnson supplied the music. Mr Walker entertained by singing many songs, Mrs Louis Par- adis also gave a comical recitation. A tired but happy crowd left for their different homes in the wee small hours of the morning. \ Praise need to be mentioned of the good rogds around Quibell, for five miles up north, the road that a short time ago was an awful swamp is now in splendid condition and a good auto road. ELECTIONS PAST AND COMING All political parties are making ready for the preliminaries in the big contest that is to take place within the next three months. Liberals an- nounce the assembly of the national council, Mr Crerar leaves his summer home on the Lake of the Woods and the Unionists are also getting their craft under way. That the contest is going to be one of the hottest the counry has wittnes- sed seems' apparent. From 1896 to 1911 there was very little to distin- guish between the two parties that presented themselves as vehicles through which Canadians expressed their political preference. It was largely a case of "ins" and "outs." In 1911 this situation was suddenly altered by the adoption of the prin- ciple of reciprocity .by the Liberals as a plank in their fiscal platform. This precipitated an election with a vital principle at stake. It spelled the defeat of the Liberals. Then came the war and the election of 1917, in which anothed principle was involved--compulsory service. Pos sibly not in the history of the coun- try did an election leave such hitter feelings as did this election. The coming election will present the tariff as the main question for decision. For some time this question has been before the public for dis- cussion. The Government appointed a commission to investigate the at- titude of the people through a series of enquiries. That commission has not yet completed its report. IThe Liberal party has stood upon a tariff plank adopted in 1907, which declares for a lowering of the tariff to revenue basis only.
