King Edward’s visit to Germany a short time ago, and his ccnduct during that visit, called forth general expres- sions of approval, and in the estimation ‘of the public clinched his claims to be known as “Edward the Peacemaker.” He was considered~ to have done a great deal toward preventing any possible conflict between the two countries. The press despatches of the past week, how- ever, have an extremely warlike tone. They indicate that a very appropriate title for the German Emperor would be “William the Pacemaker.” According 4‘ to the despatches, Britain must not only keep pace with, but must keep well ahead of Germany in building battleships .,. of the Dreadnought class in order to <11 avoid danger of an invasion by that nation. It is to be a Dreadnought mara- thon, which England is thought to be a trille late in entering. Germany is making the pace. Notwithstanding all the panicky talk, there are strong grounds for thinking that an invasion of England by Germany is not within the probabilities. The working class'of both countries are in favor of peace. August Bebel, the lead- er of three million voters, announces that if the German authorities declare war, he willcall. out all the organized German workers. Such a strike would paralyze the troops, who could do noth- ing for lack of transportation and sup- plies. The organized British workmen would also go out on strike in the event of a declaration of war. The workers of all countries are comprehending that there is nothing for them in ‘war. They do the actual fighting, and get nothing in return. . The New York Call in an article on >4 this subject says: “The rulers of Eur- Q ope have their spies at the meetings of ' the organiZed working classes and are hearingrthings thatastonish them. They are learning th'atthey are'rulers who do not rule, and";that the once despised working class is the {real power.” E In town of Groceries, Crockery and g i’ ______â€"-_- And the public generally we beg to announce that we have in stock-and more coming to hand- the latest‘ styles in DRESS GOODS AND SUITING-S IN THE DIFFERENT NEW SHADES and a fine assortment of Wash Goods and White Linens.

The Lindsay Post says :â€"We are in- formed that it is the intention of the Otonabee Navigation Company to put a steamer on the route between Lindsay, Sturgeon Point and Bobcaygeou at an early date. This company recently pur- chased the steamer Mauita from the Trent Valley Navigation Company, thus completing a line of daily boats between Bobcaygeon and Rice Lake. It is the company's purpose, we are informed, eventually to operate boats on the en- ‘ tire Trent waterway system, including Lake Simcoe, where a large boat will ply between Orilla, Barrie, Jackson’s Point and Gamebridge. When this com- prehensive programme is carried out the people or Lindsay and others ports along the waterway will have opportun- ities of visiting this beautiful chain of lakes and rivers that are now compara- tively unknown to our citizens and to tourists. [The Gazette is assured that Fenelon Falls will not be overlooked when the Otonabee company take over the Lind- say-Bobcaygeon town will be given a daily service] Assastance In Underdrainage. Underdrainage will pay for itself in from one to three years. Perhaps no example in Ontario demonstrates this more conclusively than the drainage of “the Rittenliouse farm" at the Jordan the Niagara peninsula. Originally it was very wet, so much so indeed that often the crops were scarce- ly worth cutting. In 1006 Mr. M. ll‘. Ititteuhouse of Chicago gave it to the Government for an horticultural exper- iment farm. In 1007 it was underdrain- ed, the lines of tile being laid about four and a half rods apart. 1n many places the subsoil was very, very heavy, so that the digging was hard and the cost high, about $25 an acre. In 1908. on the part that was tormerl y the wet- est it grew 65 bushels of oats to the acre, thereby practically paying for the drainage in one season; for the year previous the oats on the same land were not worth cutting. The Rittenhouse farm was surveyed and the drainage system for it planned by the Department of Physics at the _ Ontario Agricultural College. Any far- .mer in Ontario. who is contemplating upderdrainage may on application have his farm surveyed, the drains planned, and the grades determined. A finished map containing this information and also the size of the tile advisable is sent to the owner as soon as completed. The only outlay connected with the ‘one man from Guelph to the farm, con- sisting of railway fare, meals and cart- age of instruments. The railway fare is only one cent a mile each way for this work. ' At the conclusion of each survey a drainage demonstration is held in the field, and simple practical methods of surveying a drain, determining its grade and securing atrue bottom are demon- strated, and the benefits of drainage discussed. Any one desiring a survey and plan should apply to Prof. Wm. H. Day, De- partment of Physics, O. A. C., Guelph. A large number of applications are already in for this season. â€"____‘__--- Fenelon Council. Cameron, March 8th, 1909. Council met in regular session, the "reeve, Mr.- J. T. Palmer, in the chair.
