Walkerton is in a critical con- dition in Bruce County Hospital owing to a shooting accident which occurred on December 14. Weber, with Eigin Pletach, aged 17. was putting a piece of lumber through a wire fence on the farm of Amos Milliousen. near Walker- ton, which they intended using in the GUN FALLS AND SHOT 'aifection by Sir George Perley. Mr. Bennett afterwards faced the inevitable battery of camera and movietones and made a very brief speech. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “I am very glad to be home. I am always .glad to get back from my voyages labroad and never more so than now. I Ehope that, with your support, I may be able to make the lot of our fellow countrymen happier." Afterwards Mr. Bennett made his way through to the Chateau Laurier' and was loudly cheered as he passed. He did not wish to make any state- ment, having previously announced that he will shortly do so and deal at length with the conference recently closed, with the plan for its resump- tion in Ottawa next year , and other proposals in view. The prime mlnster, who looked re- markably at. dolled his hat and ex- changed greetings to everyone.

With him are coupled the names of George McKechnle, W. Laldlaw, W. A. Macdonald, Ralph Cat- ton, and possibly some others, but gen- erally. there is an air of mystery. “What’s doing for next year's Coun- cil?” is a popular question these days, but from present activities the answer might truthfully be “Nothing”. There are rumors, but this is about all. No definite information can be obtained. Mayor Hunter told the Council Mon- day night that he would not be in the field. When the Chronicle questioned Ihim yesterday afternoon he said he would make no statement. Councillor xW. 8. Hunter has also been mentioned as a mayoralty candidate. For theI balance of the slate the same mystery prevails. With the exception of Reeve Bell, who has announced definitely that he is in the running. we have heard nothing or the other candidates. Dame Rumor says that M. G. Calder of last year’s council is to try conclusions with commodating as eight or nine hundred pounds or liver.

JAMIESON MAKING GOOD PROGRESS What is infinitely more important was the fact that Mr. Bennett was directly responsible for placing a great economic question of inter- Empire development fairly and squarely before the people of Great Britain in terms they understand. By him it was stripped free of all very definite matter of Empire econ- omic consolidation and development which it is. The issue rests with them and Canadians have no grounds for pessimism. g Canadians appreciate that Mr. Bennett, on behalf of agriculture in Canada. undertook to uproot fiscal policies of Britain which have per- sisted for a century. They like the frank and fearless way he went, about it and in the conference to ‘ meet in Canada in 1931 they see considerable progress made togards his objective. It is characteristic of Premier Bennett that he should decline the proposed public demonstration on his return. There is much too ser- ious business at hand to give time or thought to complimentary demon- strations. Mr. Bennett is back at his desk, spending sixteen to eigh- teen hours of each day upon a solu- tion of the farmers’ dilemma. He is a working Premier, not a centre of demonstrations. Bis Home. As was to be expected of him, he carried a definite proposal for Em- pire development to the discussions and it is an excellent commentary on the acceptability and practical nao ture of his plans that they won the hearty approval and staunch sup- port of the other great Dominions. That they failed for the moment to receive the benediction of the pre- sent Government of Great Britain is neither surprising nor discouraging. That was fore-ordained. _.__ ‘. wovillv.’ uvvo ‘ 0, “ll â€"-â€"â€" --â€"â€"-. -- a Duham, another brother William and- sister, Mrs. Stage. in Toronto. At time of writing the funeral ar- rangements have not been made, but it is thought the service will be held from his late residence at Prioeville on Fri-'- day afternoon, interment being in Priceville cemetery. ' The spontaneous desire of the people of Ottawa to extend a public reception to Premier Bennett on the occasion of his return home from the London conferences is in- dicative of the general feeling throughout the Dominion that Mr. Bennett represented his country ad- mirably and gave useful service to the Empire.
