Twenty thousand immigrants will arrive at Canadian ports this week. To these people Canada has a_ great duty. How will she rise to meet, the responsibility. Every individual cit- izen has his share jn this responsibil- ity. Let him meet it manfully. Figures are published showing that every township in the county of Grey has decreased in populaticn since 1901 It is a sors of a melancholy. satisfac- tion to realize that Huron county = is not the only one to suffer by the exodus to the West.--Goderich Signal Farmers report that although the fall wheat winteredj fairly well with the exception of a few patches it ha: suffered considerable since the snow left from the cdld dry wiather. Much of the crop it is believed will have to be plowed up. Rey. J. R. Mann. pastor of the Auburn Presbyterian church has been called to Port Elgin and it is under- stood that he will accept. Mr. Mann is a preacher of exceptional ability and will no doubt be much appreciat- ed by the people of Port Elgin. If the public school children of On- tario are looking for a hero. here is what Dr. George Locke. chief Libra- rian of Toronto. says; "Home-work is the most arid. most inhuman, and most futile educational method ever perpetrated on 'the human race. It should be abolished forever." ; The Toronto Globe and the Mail and Empire have made. arrangements with the G.T.R.:whereby the train known as "The Flying Post" will be continued after May 1st and Western Ontario readers will still bé able to secure their paper on the early morn- ing trains. The train. however, will not carrv any letters or miscellaneous mail matter. The vote on church union in che Methodist church. as recorded in the Christian Guardian is as foflows; lo 301 congregations 37.176 members le vears and over yoted for. and 5,105 yoted against: under 18. 3,518 voted for and 40% agaist. The vote of the adherents was: 7.799 for and 1,002 against. The total vote thus far in favor is 48.491 and against 6.516. A merchant in Saskatoon. writing to the Trade Bulletin of Montreal. says a great many sub-divisions Or alleged urban properties are being put on the market that are absolutely worthless. Some of these" lots, he says. are five to six miles awav from the centre of a town. and syndicates are making fortunea by selling what are really farm lands at town values. The unusual sight 9%f reaping, threshing arid seeding being carriev on at the same time was witnessed this spring in Saskatchewan. A con- siderable amount of grain that was left uncut last fall. it is believed will be in fair, condition. aid the greater part of what was left im the stacks will be graded. Another large in- crease in the acreage sown. to whe. in the provinee is vredicted. On Thursday night of last week some miscreant threw astone through one of the memorial windows of the Rostock Evangelical church. The stone was thrown with such force that it broke a large hole in the plas- ter on the other side of the church. The trustees are offering a reward of $50 for information that will lead to the conviction of the perpetrator of the deed. It is ta be sincerely hop- ed that the guilty' varty mav__ be brought to justice as*such vandalism should not go unpunished. Mr. Peter Ryan. of Toronto. who has made a special study of the bank- ing systems of Canada and the United States and several Europeay countries has the following to say ofthe Royal and Traders bank merger; It means a further limitation of credit, which is falling more and more into the hands of a few. It means that it' is going to be more difficult for small manu- shalt not steal." Just afterwards the quartette rose and sang as a vol- untary "Steal away." This story is no chesnut; it is vouched for. District-Deputy 5S. Mallion. paid Milverton Lodge No. 478 AF.& AM. an official visit on Monday evening of this week and was, tendered a ban- quet. A number of the brethren, of Monkton lodge were also present and a very profitable and enjoyable even- ing was spent. The Stony Mountain gang of des- peradoes who made such a sensation- al attempt to escape from their guards fat Toronto a few weeks ago while en route to Kingston penitentiary. in company with another convict aiN 9 beating their guards on Monday made another desperate effort to escape. All were recaptured shortly after their escape. Had the Titanic been. a Chinese ves- sel. manned by Chinese sailors. not a woman would have beem saved. It is the duty of the Chinese sailor. when a vessel goes down to save the men first, then the children, and lastly the women, This is on the theory that the men are the most valuable tothe state. that adoptive parents cam be found for the children. and\ that wo- men without husbands are destitute. hence a burden on the state at large It is alleged that a young man near Guelph. who had just married, sug- gested to his wife that' they should argue some question freely and frank lv every morning. This. he thought would help them to-gain a fuller in- sight into each other's nature. thus making for increased happiness. The first question happened to be. "Can a woman dress on fifty dollars a year?" He took the affirmative and when last seen he had climbed up into the hayloft and was pulling the ladder up after him. '. Just before going West think the matter over. Can you really .do, any better there? Sometimes it is right to leave well enough alone. A young man on the Bruce Peninsula. and up- on a poor. rocky farm at that. clear- ed $3,000 in four years. This was done by hard work in years that were not good. In the West a_ good year means a lot of money but a poor year means a year lost. and there is no timber to fail back on during the winter. It is best then to act slowly before going away. Pay checks will not hereafter be legal tender over the bir or counter in a liquor shop. A cla ise is added to the present law prohibiting a tay- ern or shop license, or any person it his behalf. taking in payment of liq- uor or converting into sash for the purpose any time check or pay check or order for money issue in payment of wages. The clause compelling a tavern keeper to furnish accomodation to any bona fide travell x under pen- altv of a fine is amend dad. by stating that he shall not be ecmpellable to supply liquor té any person whomso- ever. except upon the or jer of a phy- sician. Shipping men express keen interest as to how the immense funds that have been subscribed in England alu America for the relief of the Titan- ie's survivors. will be distributed. The total already raised in London and New York is considerably in excess 01 a million dollars. and belief is ex: pressed that the amount will! event- ually reach nearly two millions. Some of the survivors. who are in New York. have expressed apprehensions that professional beggara will try to take advantage of the sympathy aroused by the Titanic disaster. with a chance of reaping a rich harvest. There apparently will be no dearth of claimants for the bounty and the sift- Herald. MONKTON SCHOOL REPORT. Report of Monkton public school for the month of April.

WHAT HE DIDN'T LACK John Gilmore has dug up the fol- lowing story for The Kansas « City Journal. which he says the' late Eu- gene F. Ware used to tell with great glee on every occasion that was suil- able;-- A young fellow went west and got into a boom town where he was mad. president of an electric light company of a street railway company, of a water company and a lank. The boom collapsed after a while. and the electric lights went out and the waterworks dried up and at last the bank broke. The depositors who losi gathered one night. purchased arope and went to call on the young man. When they mide their pr sefce known he stepped calmly into the verandah and said; "Gentlemen. I laven't gota dollar. You will never get a doliar, The thing left for is to cut me into little pieces and pass me round." The man's audacity silenced the crowd for a moment, and then a thin voice in the rear piped out; "Fellow-citizens. in the distribution of this seacook 1 want his gall." _---- WELLESLEY. Mr, C.

Following a spiendid musical and literary programme in Christ church on Thursday evening given under the auspices of Mr. Charles Symes was a banquet to thei choir in Mr. George Guenther's restaurant parlors.

A petition largely signed by the ratepayers of the village is being pre- sented to the council at their meeting Wednesday evening asking that steps be taken in' the way. of aiding C. R.

The village of Milverton was start- led on Saturday morning of last week when the news reached here that Mr. Samuel Miller who. had gone over to help A, Wilson. of Atwood. for a few days in his seeding operations had died suddenly. He repaired to bed about the usual hour in-company with Mr. Alex. Aikins 'and appeared in good health and spirits. A few minutes after twelve Mr, Aikins was awaken- ed by the rattling of the window through the high wind that prevail- ed at that time and heard Mr, Miller breathing heavily. He spoke to him and then shook him but getting mo response struck a light only to find that life was extinct. Mr. Miller was born in Whitby. township about 60° years ago. When only several years old he came to the township of Wel- lesley and for many years resided be- tween Millbank and Linwood coming to Milverton in 1908. In the year 1879 he married Mary Ann Roe. daughter of the late James, Roc. of Mornington who survives him, Mr. Miller was a man of excellent char- acter and was: held in' very high es- teem by a wide circle off friends. The funeral which was one of the most largely atteniled seen in Milverton for some time took place from the family residence on Tuesday after- noon to the Millbank Anglican: ceme- tery where the remains were inter- red. Rev. F. K Hughes of | Grace church, Millbank officiated. The pall bearers were: Messrs. Wm. McKee. J. W. Barr, R. J Tanner. N. Roe. Geo, Roe and 8. J. Miller.
