The political “pot” is commencing to boil once more, and from now until polling day the electorate willlistentomanyargumentsproandconastothe ‘ reason why they should vote for this or thatcandi- t date. Some one has said that one should not combine t politics and business. This may be true among 1 citizens of a community, but what is of more im- ‘ portancc ‘ to the country as a whole than! the election I of a parliament? Personally, we think every elector should use his franchise from the standpoint of bus- iness. If the government in power has in your opinion been a good business government, then support it. If it has not, then vote against it. Con- ducting the business of the country, a government naturally takes the credit for any good times that may have existed during their regime. They should also be made to take the responsibility for any of the hard times. As a rural constituency, South-East Grey must consider matters from the farmer’s standpoint. Dur- ing the past nine years, has our representation at Ottawa dime anything for the agriculturist? Are the conditions on the farm satisfactory? If they are, then it might be well to let well enough alone, but if not, a change is in order. Do the farmers of South-East Grey feel that as agriculturists their business has gone ahead as it should? Do they think that everything has been done for this basic industry that should have been? Are they satisfied that the old saying “the farmer has to compete in the markets of the world” is true? Do they think that the placing of a duty on all food- stuffs grown by Canadian farmers and the curtailing of the imports from foreign countries would be of no benefit to them? Are they satisfied to have their i own home market thrown Open to the world when over eighty per cent of the world’s countries have a tariff to protect their agriculturists against the com- petition of Canadian and other farmers? These are some of the things for the farmers to think about. For instance, the Hon. James Malcolm finance minister in th a furniture manufacturer. demands and gets approx- imately thirty-five per cent protection against furni~ ture imported from the United States. If this thirty- is good for him, why handicap the five per cent five farmer by allowing him only approximately per cent? . It is about time for the Canadian farmer, and es- 0 farmer, to demand that the Can- d for himself. Until this is d times for the pecially the Ontari adian market he reserve done we may expect nothing but har farming industry. 1...

Girls are taugh work and knitting and some very creditable work was shown us that came from their hands. Both boys and girls are taught to read and write when possible. There is no one who can go through an institution of this kind and emerge without a feeling of sadness; at the same time it is with a feeling of thankfulness that we know there is in Ontario an institution of this kind which looks after sub-normal children in ssible at home, and which places them a manner impo could not be attained, in a position of capability that we believe, in any other way. It is with sadness one witnesses the condition of many of the inmates, but this must be tempered with joy when one knows that these unfortunates are being well cared for and so far as is possible made happy under such handicaps as they possess. this kind which looks after a manner impossible at home, in a position of capability tha we believe, in any other way. After a drive over the roads of Grey County, both ‘ north and south, last week, we are more than ever of the opinion that the County Council should join the Ontario “Safety First” movement and place “stop” signs on all roadways leading on to improved county roads. We do not suppose they will do it, but this is our opinion just the same. After passing through a good many towns quite a lot smaller than Durham we are also of the opinion that the Durham Council should erect the same signs on streets lead- ing out to both provincial and county highways. The safety of life and property is of more importance than the few dollars these signs will cost. In both improved highways passing through the town we believe there is only one street which is “stop” signed. This is Lambton street on the main I M...“ All Hm other streets are as they were for than the few dollars these signs will cost. In both improved highways passing through the town we believe there is only one street which is “stop” signed. This is Lambton street on the main corner. All the other streets are as they were for years and the absence of these signs may be the cause of an accident. We all know that in driving on a main thoroughfare and when passing through towns, a tourist expects that all cars or vehicles en- tering this highway should use caution, lbut when’one street is “stop” signed and the remainder left Open the touring motorist is placed at a decided disad- “- .l O l‘ s .‘__L_- A: V “In Vuavo With the increased motor traffic it is the duty of all of us to adopt the “safety first” motto, and towns and counties are no more to be excused from this duty than those who drive motor cars. l - -2---.°I-_.I_- But town and county councils are too similarly constituted to be expected to follow any advice. They have been placed in authority by the peOple and generally resent anything that may appear to usurp any of the authority supposedly reposed in them. They forget that the are the servants of the pe0ple, not their masters. IIVV VJ-vâ€"â€" ____ So, as we have said before, we don’t expect them to take any action in a matter of this kind. It is our opinion that a town or county council that does not adopt every safety measure possible is as much res- ponsible'for accidenjs as those directly concerned.

Annulann 0"de HELD ANNUAL MEETING SATURDAY AFTERNOON South-East Grey U. F. 0. Gathered at Flesherton Last Saturday Afternoon The forenoon session was one of rou- tine business, reading of reports, re- ceiving the financial statement, and the election of officers being the principal business transacted. Following this session an enjoyable lunch hour was spent, when thoe present from distant points joined together for sixty minutes of good fellowship. The afternoon was given over entirey ! to the discussion of co-operative mar-‘ keting, a Grey County boy who made a great study of this work under many noted leaders introducing the subject. He told of what is being done by the U. F] 0. along this line and spoke for a few minutes explaining the rural ev- ening classes he had conducted and was now holding at Yeovil, Rocxy Saugeen. and Chatsworth under the auspices of the educational department of the U. P. 0., of which he was secretary. This was H. H. Hannam, formerly of Egre- mont. He invited all and sundry to lattend these classes. _ ‘_ Mr. Hannam was followed by J. J. Morrison, who dropped into the meeting as a visitor, having a warm Spot for Grey, as his friends date back to Grange days. He urged farmers to get together and find out how the consum- er wanted his product and then give the public that article as they needed it just as much as the farmers needed to sell. His presence was much appreciated by all. Mr. Charles Zeigman of the live stock department at Toronto was pre- sent to. answer and lead the discussion on live stock markets. He told of the changing times and how trucks were today changing conditions which we must watch closely to be in the lead with stock. His solution was to ship col- lectively by rail and reduce the over- head that the net pronts might be l‘ lwuul W.- in All-Day Qoi‘lâ€""ombm for the Coming Year Elected.
