The Feiieloii Falls Gazette. Friday, April 2nd.1909. Law Reform. Reduction iii the number of appeals at present possible is quite properly made the chief deiiand in the current discus- siou of law reform. Reduction is cer- tainly needed, and if the reducing pro- cess could be carried to the point of complete abolition of appeals it would be so inucthvthe better. It has never been easy to. understand why appeals have thus far been considered either permissible, desirable or necessary. Why should any case be takeato any court when it is known at the outset that that particular court can not settle the matter finally if the litigant against whom judgment is given wishes to ap- peal it? The decision of a so- -called lower court can be made final just as easily as the decision of a higher court can, and when it 1s considered that quite often appeal after appeal results in the final verdict confirming the original one, the reasonableness of the proposal to abolish appeals altogether must be ack- nowledged. Moreover, allowing an appeal is a tacit admission that the opinion or the whim of the loser or his lawyer carries more weight than the opinion of the judge who tried the case _â€"â€"tlirowing out of the question the pos- sibly fat pocket- book of the appellant, which is sometimes supposed to cut quite a figure. Courts ot‘ law are the only institution that the public has thus far consented to take work to knowing that it (the work or the public) may have to be dope over again three or four times. 1t is time for a change. Economy of Underdrainage. There is no factor which plays so i'm- portant a part in successful farming as underdrainage. Land that is underdrain- ed is ready for seeding ten days earlier than land that is undrained. Not only is the underdrained soihdrier and in better condition, but it is also from five to ten degrees warmer, thus hastening germi- nation. In undrained soil the water will in many cases stand so near the surface, especially in spring, that the roots of the crop sown cannot develop downward, but are forced to spread horizontally and near the surface. The result is that, if a period of drought occurs, the crop suf- fere because of its limited water supply, due largely to its shallow root system. On the other hand, in well-drained soil â€"aud when l_say well-drained I mean \vell-underdrained-tlie crop will root deeply; and, should drought occur, the crop with the deeper root system and larger area from which to draw moisture is able to withstand the ill eflects for a longer period. Thus we see that the underdraining of our fai'ui lands docs not simply mean getting rid of surplus water; but it means, besides this, the lengthening of the growing season for ten days at least, which in itself is quite an item in this part of our province wheie the season is all too sl101t.lt means increased pro- duction, bigger yields per acre, and, as a result, more money in the farmers’ pock- ets. It stands as a safeguard against wet weather, and also against droughtâ€"- two things which have been the undoing of many farmers The past season “as one of extremes, being very wet in the spiing and later in the season quite dry. This year may be the same or it may be an ideal one, but just what we cannot foretell. Now is the time to plan for coming emergencies, and no farmer can do betterZ than prepare to lay some tile this spi iiig. Look over your farm, and if its topog- raphy is such that one large main drain would serve for the whole farm, begin that diain, and add laterals to it as your time and means will permit. Experiments lNith Farm Crops. The members of the Ontario Agricul- tural & Expeiimental Union are pleased to state that tor 1909 they are prepared to distribute into ev cry township of On- tario material of high quality for experi- ments with foddei crops, roots, grains, grasses, clovei's and fertilizers, as fol- lows: 1 Three varieties of Oats, 3 plots. 2a.

It mieht be well for each appli- cant to make a second choice, for fear the first could not be g1aiited.All mate- rial will be furnished entirely free of charge to each applicant, and the pi od- uce' will of course, become the property of the person who conducts the experi- ment. C. A. ZAVITZ, Director. Ontario Agi' l Colioge, Guelph, March, 1909. Suicide at Burnt Riv-21'. 0n Mon-day last Mr. John A. Swanton committed suicide at Burnt River by drinking carbolic acid. He had been at Lindsay during the day, and '1 hile there got under the influence 0t. liquoi and purchased the poison, which he drank soon .1fter1c.l111111u'r to his home about half past four o'clock. Mr. Thos. Per- due, who is a near neighbor, saw Mi’. Sw aiiton go into the house and went over to sec him, and caught him in the act of svlrallmving the acid. Mr. Pei-due immediately 'ran out to get caster oil, but when he, with some others, returned in less than ten minutes, the unfortunate man was dead. The deceased was usually of a quiet and good natured disposition, but during the winter ho had been ill and lately had been drinking and had: become abusive to such an extent that his wife was forced to seek protection. She was at the home 0f her nephew, M r. David Smith, at Cameron, at the time 0f the tragedy. The funeral took place on Wednesday to the Fenclon Falls ceme- tery. Personals. Miss Katie Dickson returned last week from a months visit to friends in Toronto. Mrs. (Dr.) Graham and daughter Ger- trude went to Toronto on Monday to hear Mme Emma Eauies at Massey hall. Miss Annie Robson returned on Friâ€" day last from an extended visit to friends in Parry Sound, Peterborough and Toronto. Mrs. Thos. Cashore was at Lindsay on Tuesday. Mr. Johnston- Pattcrson left for the West 011 Tuesday with a earload of set- tler's effects. Mr. G. Smith, D. L. 8., of Lindsay, was in town this week locating the proper boundaries of the leased lots along the canal. Mr. Gideon Mark, of Dorset, was at the Falls over Sunday, v isitiug his bro- ther, Mr. Elisha Mark. He drove all the way, some sixty- -five miles, from Dorset with his fine sorrel team and spring cutter, and started back on Monday. Dorset, which is on the Lake of Bays, has a summer hotel with accommodation for 165 guests, besides a large number of cottages, and is headquaiteis for an iii- creasing number of tourists each season. Rev. W. H. A. French is attending the Missionary Congress at. Toronto. This (Friday) evening he will preach in St. Luke's Church, Peteiboropugh, at the Lenten service. Rev. C. S. Lord, Rev. Albert Cooke and Rev. Jas. Fraser attended the Layman‘ s Missionary Congress at Toronto this week. Millinery Openings. The millinery windows are gay this week with wreaths, festoons and clus- ters of fiowers and foliage, the usual harbingers of spring in the world of nuts. The window displays are standing in- vitations to the ladies to come inside and inspect the profusion of beautiful headweai ready for the season's use. The shallow mushroom hats with wide crowns are still in the lead, and some of the smartest models are shovsn in this style. The samples in the millinory de- '11 tmunt at Mr. W111.Campbell's are, as usual, up- -to- date and reasonable in price and sty le. Many handsome hats have been turned out by Miss Pratt, all typos of femininity in licncloii Falls and sui- rounding couiitiy may find their tastes suited liei'.c Theie are many new shapes and r:01dy to wear hats to choose from and the latest trimmings are also shou n in profusion. Among the prettiest of the trimmed samples: .v 1s a cream lace- sti'; 1w tui ban with a dainty \vieatli of white lilac lilac and biown tinted niarguerites at the left front. A handsome wide brimmed 10"‘1'101 n hada draping of pink not with black chenille dots wired about the crown; audagraceful spray of apple blossiims com pleted the effect at the left side. . All] all-black turban had a jetted band with a folded draping of maline about the crown. A cluster of soft quills com-1 pleted the stylish appearance rife, this model. - . ,. A specially attractive _bi' l1‘ - was a lace-straw. The drapec' 'rown was threaded with brown ribboe, and a clus-' ter of brown roses with green foliage was placed at the left side. A stylish new shape was wrought out in divers colors, the prevailing shade being a subdued green. Green lace‘: straw was the foundation mateiial, green roses nestled snugly upon the right brim. A largo green and pink rose with gray stems held a handsome green- _ ish brown spiay of osprey in place on the left brim. At Miss Washburns the tables are covered with beautiful models. Num- bers of untrimmed shapes are there also, awaiting the magic touch which trans- forms the uupromising outlines of this seasons styles into wearable and becom- ing cliapeaux. One very striking hat was a helmet shape in Copenhagen blue with the crowu coming almost down to the brim, and trimmed with a|c31eat d bind of satin ribbon with a gold band running through the centre, and finished with :11 pair of blue wings 011 the left side‘, fastened by a rosette of straw of the same colour as the hat. ' A large fiat hit in tuscaii straw, with atam cr',0\1n elicited many expressions of admiration. It was trimmed witl'r two large paiis of‘ black wings, and a. a black velvet ribbon bow in the front fastened by a large jot bu1lile A black poke bonnet had a very largo dome crou n, and was trimmed near the front with three Prince of Wales tips, and around the crown with a row of jet beads, and was finished iu the back with black velvet ties. A 11:1 ge black turban of mohair stm'w' and sequin was veiv at'tiactive. It was trimmed on the left side with a large black silk rose, wound with black tulle, and finished with a bow of black velvet ribbon. Teas grown at high altitudes on the' mountain slopes of aCeylon, “here the grouth is slower and cultivation more careful than in the warm, liu: nid climate of the \alleys, aie used in “Salada” Tea. Hig-h grown tea like “Salad:”1 is: not only of .1 hnoi quality, but contains; more of essential oil in the leaf than valley- grown tea. This is casilv proved by comparing a drawing of “S1l.1da.”’ with any other. Despite the swift changes of fashion, haVeD been able to keep abreast of them, and have anticipated correctly - the season’s whims and fan- cies, and can now supply our customers with the newest and best fabrics which fashion will de- mand for the coming season.
