Arthur Meighen dressed far larger audiences than the one which faced him in the Strand theatre, Dryden, Wednes- day eening; but it is to be doubt- ed if he ever spoke to a more intelligent or more 'appreciative gathering. Every argument ad- vanced, every point of reasoning urged, was closely followed and carefully considered, the speaker confining himself to analysis of facts and principles which avoided any possibility of offence to any- one, no matter of what political faith. The general public being invited to hear Mr Meighen as a public man rather than as a party leader, it was notable that no evidence of making it a Conservative affair was shown, with the result that [everyone is conscious of having experienced the privilege of hear ing the political situation in thie country presented in a masterly manner by an authority on the subject. Indeed the general senti- ment is that it would be highly educational to have opportunity to hear speakers of such calibre a: intervals, The distinguished visitor was introduced in a very brief manner by Mayor Pitt, who was chairman for the evening.

He predicted the audience, they would enjoy hearing a speaker of such distinc. tion. Mr Meighen would address them on the political welfare of Canada, and the attitude of the Conservative party towards ite development, ~ i Mr Meighen expressed the plea- sure it afforded him to address an audience such as the one before him. He intended to give them a general outline of the situation of Canada in its relation to other countries, and the policy that he considered best adapted to its pro- gress in world affairs. He began by a review of the fiscal history of Canada, showing the effects produced by various tariff changes at different periods. birthday last Monday. The guests were Misses Frances Foulis, Gracie Gough, Evelyn Adair, Alma Larson, Joan Offer, Grace Hardie, Lottie Dixon, Millie Herring, Pauline Pinkerton, and Crissie Colliss. ; Mr Robinson spent an anxious time yesterday morning making a trip from Parker's Point to call on the butcher.

Smith had his grip searched by provincial constable Hake, who found a gallon of brew therein. Haled before Magistrate Pronger, the accused pleaded guilty to being in pos- session of liquor in a place other than 3 dwelling. He was fined $200.00 and tosis, or three months in default of payment. Lacking the necessary, he was committed to Kenora. : Constable Hake also made a profes- sional trip to Vermillion and Quibell this week. : Cruise of the "Bonnie Mac"-- The report at the beginning of the week that John Wilson and his two boys had failed to return from a hunt- ing frip, and that the "Bonnie Mac" had gone in search of them, caused a lot of excitement. But the community breathed more ily when the relief d Tuesday, bringing them safe from a rather hazardous sit- vation. They had ono <a become separated from their boat, which contained their food supply, and which was isolated by a sheet of very thin ice. The hunters are none the worse for their adventure. Canada was one of the youngest countries. Its population had been drawn from many sources, cach element bringing with it their own ideas as derived from the country of their origin, which usually were not applicable to this country where everything was changed from the older European countries Its only neighbour, the industrial Colossus to the south, where the conditions hardly differed except in its more highly organized in- | dustries and its immense popula- tion. The United States had met problems similar to those of Can- ada and had given us the lead as ito how Canada should solve her "own problems. The tremendous influence of the United States on our affairs could never be ignorec in planning the policies of thir Dominion. There were those, foi example, who spoke plausibly of the advantages of Free Trade which they claimed had made th mother country the world's leades in business. Would any man seiously advo- cate the same policy for Canada even asstiming that it had provec a success in the motherland? Ove: there they were surrounded by peoples who spoke in different tongues, which formed a barrie; harder to surmount than even the tariff. There they had no problem of their young men and womer being drawn over their borders by a nation offering surroundings and customs similar to their own, with the added attraction of higher in- comes. There the raw resources were fully tapped, and already the population had increased beyond their ability to support them. Canada was the very antithesis of all this. Here our great need was population, and money to de- velop the natural resources of the country, which are hardly touched as yet. Without adequate protec- tion industry in Canada would be overwhelmed by the more efficient organizations to the souk, and no in the course of his strenuous poli-; tical career must often have ad-! Memorial Service The annual Memorial Service to commemorate the ending of the Great War and the signing of the Armistice, was held in the Union | Church last Sunday, under th : auspices of the Veterans. For this | special Service, which has become ! an institution enshrined in the hearts of the people, the Baptist and Union Churches both cancel. led their regular services, allowing | their ministers to officiate at the Memorial. : 'The Church was crowded to the doors well before the opening, and in every place available, additionaj | seats were placed; yet, due to the | completeness of the arrangements | the long service was carried out. with precision. By the use of printed leaflets for the hymns and general directions, the conduct of the service was greatly simplified. | The full choir, led by Mr K. S. LeBaron on the violin, supported by Mr John Hardie, with Mrs Le Baron at the big organ, rendered excellent service; and the appro- priate selection of suitable hymns well known to everyone, allowed the congregation to join heartily in the singing. Rev. A. J. Fieldus, pastor of the Baptist Church, conducted the service, the Memorial Address being made by Rev. H. A. Rivers of Union Church. The Roll of Honour was read to the standing congregation by Veteran A. I Lock, the "Last Post" and the "Reveille" being impressively sounded by trumpeter LeBaron. The climax of solemnity was at- tained during the military obser vances, being sustained through the concluding hymn and benedic- tion, after which the congregation slowly dispersed, carrying in thei hearts the sacred memory of thr splendid lives nobly sacrificed ir a great cause, LE Very grateful thanks are sincerely offered to all who gave kindly aic at the beautiful Memorial Service held in the Union Church, Sunday last, to commemorate the supreme sacrifice made by those of Dryder and district in the late war.

We are in danger of becoming a country of primitive industries--merely a source of supply for the great in- dustrial machine of America, A large proportion of what we spend on education goes to benefit our neighbour. Do we want this to eontinue ? The crops for the last few years had been immense, and this year due to world conditions the price was above the average. Yet was there anybody to say that Canada was prosperous as a result? If he had given them any ideas that would indicate an improvement, he was indeed well rewarded.
