made by Opposition members of the Government\u2019s immigration policy.In answer to William Irvine, Labor member for East Calgary, he read a report from the.Immigration Department on the case of a young Britisher who had corns to the Calgary district last year and Was supposed to have suffered great privation because he could find no work.This man, aged 24, and his family of four, should never have been admitted to Canada, the Immigration Department had concluded, They had one dollar among them when they came.The first farmer (at Condor.Alberta), with whom they were placed, had spent $50.50 on furniture and supplies for the family.Within three days the young man went to the Land Settlement Board, asking that he be returned to the Old Country with his family.He was persuaded to stay.Shortly afterwards he left the farmer who employed him anj went to another.This one he also left.The records showed that the Land Settlement Board had secured seven different jobs for this immigrant on farms.He had left them all, sometimes causing his employers great inconvenience.He had finally written to the Board from Calgary, saying that he had secured a job at $75 a month in the city and did not care to go back to farm work.But he was still writing to the papers telling of huj hard luck and asking that he be deported.Deportation, said Mr.Murdock, was perhaps the best thing undet the circumstances, and he believed that the Department, had that under consideration at.the present time.The Minister read a clipping from n Calgary paper, which stated that 200 men had been ordered out of the Labor Bureau for declining to accept work,' The men were described by the mayor of the city as idlers who should get out of the city.Explained Details Of Nfet Debt.Mr.Irvine had said'In his speech that the net debt of Canada pet capita was $540., but lie did not indicate how this enormous debt, came about.Mr.Murdock felt that, to be fair, Mr.Irvine should have pointed out that the war-time Government did not undertake to lighten the accumulating burden of debt, or to effectively imnnir pro- fiteering.Canada s obligations as a member of the International Labor Office had been referred to by Mr.Irvine, and he had implied that no action had been taken bv Canad Suzy Vernon won first prize in a beauty contest conducted by a French newspaper.She has appeared in moving

system.\t* Mr.Murdock replied that this was so, but that there was no reason why these combines should nd*.be grappled with.He turned to a statement, which, he said, Mr Meighen had made in an earlier debate, that two thousand factories in Canada had been closed as a result of the fiscal policy of the Government.Last fall an unemployment conference had been held in Ottawa, at.which a representative

Schooner With $500,000 Liquor Cargo Captured After Twelve Hour Chase Stated that Men of Vessel Had Tried to Bribe Coast Guard to Bring a Load of Liquors into Port\u2014Charges of Conspiracy and Violating Treaty.(Aasocisted Pre*» Despatch} NEW YORK, April, 15\u2014After a twelve-hour chase of about 150 miles the coast guard cutter Seminole yesterday captured the three-masted British schooner Madeleine Adams, with her cargo of whiskies and champagnes worth $590,000.It was the men of this vessel who sought to bribe agents of the coast guard to bring a load of liquors into port.The Madeleine Adams is now anchored in the Bay off the Statue of Liberty, and the Seminole is standing guard.Captain Jacobs, commander of the coast guard for this district, is holding an investigation on board this ship, which is charged with violating the Anglo-American treaty relating to the search of vessels anchored \u201cwithin an hour\u2019s sail\u201d of shore.The story of the two men, Maloney and Murphy, who arranged with agents of the coast guard to bring in 300 cases of champagne and 200 cases of whiskey, came to light yesterday.It causeji much excitement in the customs and coast guard departments, and orders came from Washington to bring in the Madeleine Adams.It appeared from information at hand that the Madeleine Adams was unquestionably within the twelve-mile lirait at the time of the \u201cde-'J.'' with the custom* mem This \u201cdeal\u201d, incidentally, led to th' arrest of Maloney and Murphy ami the seizure of the 500 cases of liquor.Bring the ship in it you have to chase her across the ocean,\u201d were the orders that came from Washington, according to information which leaked out at the barge office.Accordingly the Seminole started out after the Madeleine Adams.It took nearly twelve hours to pick up the British schooner, which meanwhile had hauled her anchor and was heading due east as fast as her sails and an auxiliary engine could carry her.The Seminole finally sighted her, and after firing several shots at her brought the schooner to a halt.A prize, crew was placed on board and, towed by the Seminole, the Madeleine Adams was brought into the harbor, An investigation revealed that the vessel had in her hold 4,090 cases of whiskies and champagnes, and 209 barrels of alcohol.Coast guard officials said a charge of conspiracy would be made agaihst the officers mid crew of the vessel, in addition to the charge of violating the treaty.The captain of the Madeleine Adams and a crew of eight men are under arrest and are now being questioned by coast

Mrs.Skunk likes twilight and moonlight best, but it really doesn\u2019t make much difference to her whether it be day or nibht.So if she PAGE THREE happens to feel like it she takes a stroll in the middle of the day.It wasn't long before she discovered that it was in daytime that she most often smelled those delicious odors from Farmer Brown\u2019s house.Of course, she also found out that it was in daylight that those two-legged creatures were most often about.But she was so independent I that she cared nothing for them So one morning she decided that she would make a call She would go up to that house and make a call.Mrs.Brown was very busy that morning.For one thing she was baking cookies.It was warm and she had left the outer door open.She had just peeped in the oven to see how cookies were baking when she happened to glance ftoward Black Pussy\u2019s saucer on the floor.A rather pood looking?person dressed in black and white was finishing that milk.Mrs.Brown caught her breath quickly and opened her mouth to scream.Then she wisely did nothing of the kind, but kept perfectly still.She remembered that Farmer Brown often had said that i.Skunk will never offend if not offended, and the surest way of not offending it to keep still.Mrs.Skunk finished the milk in Black Pussy\u2019s saucer and then very cahnly, quite as if she were used to houses of this kind, began a thorough insection of the kitchen.Mrs.Brown squatted in front of the oven, hardly darling to breathe, until suddenly shd smelled somietihing burning.Then she forgot all but \u2019'those cookies.\u201cMy gracious!\u201d she exclaimed, throwing open the oven door and hastily pulling out the pan of cookies.Only two or three of them were burned.When she had made sure of this she remembered her caller and hastily looked for her.Mrs, Skunk was standing in the middle of the floor sniffing inquiringly toward those cookies.Suddenly Mrs.Brown recalled that always she had prided herself on her hospitality.She broke off a piece of cooky and bossed it to Mrs.Skunk.The latter tried it and approved it.And so it was that when Farmer Brown's Boy came Whistling into the house be nearly lost his breath at the sight of his mother entertaining a morning caller.(Gopyright, 1925, by T.W.Burgess) tch^RT on Friday.The Rev.F.W.Schaffter, of Waterloo, was visiting some of his parishioners here on

to give new life to industry and productive enterprise; to preserve and enlarge the Canadian market for Canadian farm products; to stimulate the development of Canadian resources by the Canadian people and thus create employment for our workers; to increase the traffic of our railways by which alone an all-round reduction of freight rates can be secured; and, as well, to provide added revenue and thus bring about a reduction of internal taxation, this Dominion requires an immediate revision of the Canadian tariff on a definitely and consistently protective basis.That such revision should apply to natural products such as farm products, fish and coal, with no less thoroughness than to manufactured goods.That to the same end steps should be taken to conserve for Canadian development our essential and irreplaceable resources in material and power.That while every effort should be directed toward the establishment of a system of preference for preference within the Empire no preference should be given at the expense of the Canadian worker and all preference should be conditional on the use of Canadian ports.That a tariff Commission should he appointed representative of the three great classes of Canadian industry, Agriculture, Manufacturing and Labour, and be entrusted with the duty of studying Canadian tariff problems in their every bearing and of making from time to time such recommendations to the Government as it deems in the general public interest with the reasons therefor, and with power also, where it finds unfair advantage is being taken of protective duties, of making recommendations to be given effect by the Government for removing or reducing tariff schedules or imposing special excise taxqs upon products in respect of which such advantage i* taken, and that its reports, findings, recommendations and reasons therefor be given to the public.That to enable the products of the Western and Maritime Provinces to reach more readily the markets so developed the special transportation burdens borne by these provinces should be shared by the whole Dominion either by contribution to long haul freight costs or by assistance in some other form.By Order\u2014LIBERAL-CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.All prices reduced.Largest choice in city.Free storage until goods are wanted.Sani-Built Chesterfield Suite High class three-piece suite covered in beautiful brown Mohair.This suite from the frame work to outside covering is of the very best construction and material throughout.Regular $285.00.OKfi (10 Easter Sale.ZüU.UU Walnut Bedroom Suite New goods just placed in stock, 48 in.Dresser, 51 in.Vanity three-mirror Dressing Table, 40 in.Chit-forobe.Cane Rooker and Bench.All mirrors best British plate.Regular $400.00.Easter Sale.Refrigerators Three extra values on sale this week onlyt No.1.\u2014 16x23 in.top, hardwood, two shelves.Regular $21.25, for.».No.2.\u2014 18x26 in.top, two shelves, enamel lining.Regular $23.25, for.No.3.\u201420x30 in.top, great big seller, box, three shelves, good casters, etc.Regular $22.50, reduced to.283.00 17.25 all white .18,25 large ice 18.00 \u2014q;

along lines that are noticeable to the individual man of business, yet the trade reports for the first month* , oi the year tell of important increase in the county\u2019s commerce.Agricultural Progress, referring to thi®, says: If Canadian exports during January and February are an indication of what may be expected during the year, 1925 should be for Canada a very satisfactory trade period.In these two months the total exports are valued at $147,-163,702, compared with $138,688,509 for the corresponding period last year, which must be considered a fine showing when it is taken into account that Canada\u2019s exports are not stimulated by extensive credits or loans to foreign customers.In February, alone, there was registered an increase of $3,000,000 over figures for the corresponding month last year, the increase being due chiefly to a stronger demand for animals and their products.\u201d This movement is in the right direction and if maintained cannot fail to bring about improved times in all communities.Another thing that makes the tired business man tired is the kind of show provided for tired business men.\t^ * \u2022 \u2022 There\u2019s a trick in this

CANADA\u2019S DESTINY Prom time to time some one on this side or the other of the international boundary broaches the subject of Annexation.There is a little talk and nothing more is heard of it for the reason that there is no active sentiment in favor of it either in Canada or the United States.\u201cIf the United States ever cherished any notion of absorbing Canada, she threw away her chance in 1866, when our Senate, for insufficient reasons, abrogated the reciprocity treaty of 1854\u2014\u2018float ed through on champagne\u2019\u2014which was negotiated with the tacit understanding, among some statesmen upon both sides of the line, that it might develop relations leading to annexation,\u2019 remarks the Boston Transcript.The writer continues as follows: \u2018\u2018Since that time the tariff policy of the United States toward Canada and the industrial awakening of the Dominion, which finally succeeded her repeated requests for closer trade relations and their refusal in this country, Canada has developed a spirit of independence which has transferred many great American industries to Canadian soil.When in 1910-11 President Taft succeeded in negotiating a mild reciprocity treaty with the Dominion Government, the people of Canada not only rejected it but overthrew the government of the idolized Wilfrid Laurier, which was responsible for its negotiation.The relations between the two countries are friendly, even to cordially, and will so continue, notwithstanding American indifference to reasonable Canadian proposals, but they do not make for the annexationist spirit in either coun-try\u2018 The American continent is large enough for two great nations and there is no reason to doubt that this Dominion is destined for a high place among the great countries of the world.To be wholly frank, the enjoyable part of a cold bath is getting out of it.\u2022\t&\t« Repentance: A small boy being disturbed by the last dish of ice cream stowed away.T\t*\t*

subjects as Your Petitioners, Should be struck off of all bennefits from Government, as Donation of Provs.and Other Things, Allowed by Govert Except such and only such, w'ho settle in them Por-ticular places which Perhaps through the Indication of Self interested Gentlemen, has been put into the head of the late Commander in Chief, to Pointe out for Selling of the Loyalists in the Province of Quebec, Further more, we doubt, Yae we are most sure, that there is some underhand Dealing with the Provs.as for instance at St.Johns, etc., For1 we sent a Petition to Your Excellence Deer, last, and we Never bear\u2019d thereof, Wherefore we beg Your Excellence will Please to condecend to direct Your Answer to Chn.Wehr, Lieut.Royl.Yorkers at Mis-sisquie Bay, and to the care of Mr.Alexr.Taylor at St.Johns, and if Your Excellence will Most Graciously Please to Grant us our Petition, Your Petitioners as in Duty bound Shall Ever Pray, \u201c(Sgd.)

Hazen\u2019s report is attached and is in substance as follows: \u201cI proceeded as ordered to Missisquie Bay and after some difficulty located the domicile of Mr.Metcalf which had evidently been evacuated for some time.\u201d This was dated some time in September, 1777.In following further the career of Mr.Metcalf we find that the people lor.Missisquie Bay, Feb.7th, 1785.\u201d MASSAWIPPI FISH HATCHERIES.The Eastern Townships as well ns other sections of the Province and the Dominion has its fish hatcheries.There is a constant demand by Fish and Game Clubs for the stocking of this lake cr that lake, this stream of that stream.And there is no lack of discussion as to the net results to be obtained.It is interesting to note that the Government has been carrying out investigations in this connection.The experiments have not resulted very favorably for the fish hatcheries.The matter is arized in an article in The cantata \u201cFrom Olivet to Calvary\u201d will be presente'1 here by the Ayer\u2019s Cliff Choral Society at the Union Church of Friday , veiling, April, 17th.This fine production has been given at the \u201cCliff\u201d and Hatley very recently, and :s spoken of very highly.The efficient leader, Rev.Thomas, the pastor here, is very kindly giving the people of this community, the benefit and pleasure of listening to this beautiful production.A cordial invitation is extended to all of this place and surrounding districts to attend.Eight o\u2019clock is the hour setj for the opening.On Thursday a bush fire had been set on the Demers\u2019 farm.A ,\t-,\t.\t\u201e - ,,\t, of some place in New York State (I with Turkey over the expulsion of the OEcumemcal i think whitehall) petition6d the Eng.I atriaich, although neither country is in a position to j authorities to spare Mr Metcalf strong wind drove the sparks along wage a war.A conflict so initiated, especially if in-, that he was a good man and had j to Maris Brown\u2019s field, and soon 5E?E17a1JkCOnse,q,uSneet and affection.Each has u bettor understanding of the other's position and burdens : each knows ¦that the other is human and sub-Joe* to all the mental and physical (trials that are attendant upon the Journey through life.In the last fifteen years or so the younger hsembers of the present royal fam-îüy hare taken their part in the.jaettritiee of the Empire's life to an ¦increasing degree.More active than the King himself has been Edward «Libert Christian, Prince of Wales.At thirty years cf age the Prince Vs the most travel Jed and the most popular royal personage the world has ever known.Most people are (aware of thaC The secret of his (popularity Is personality.The cul-jtivatian of natural qualities and bptitudee have added to his charm.As an ambassador of Empire he has to equal He has seen most of that Empire and met and conquered its people.Canada and Canadians jfcBtrw Mm well and are proud to Shall Mm as fellow citiaec and owner «of the E.P.ranch in Alberta.South.Africa is to he his domicile tor the next few months, and he trUl visit Argentina and Uruguay before he returns home.The Boers «of some districts are sore because 'his long itinerary does not permitf of his TiattiBg them.Some of them.blunt language, what they think of arrangements that do not permit of their extending a home greeting to the Prince.Hertsog himself is no lover of Britain, yet even before he attained office he supported the invitation to the Prince in eulogistic That Is only a hope; there le no mere certain knowledge there than In Canada that such will be the case.Rumor has affianced him a dozen times In little more than as many months.He has out-baehe-lored the rumors, and the charming ladies who were mentioned are all married or engaged to others.It is certain that parental and stat.persuasion both have been exerted to get him to the altar.Probably some charming foreign prlnoees has more than once been the object of grave intimation to Mm.He is declared to have stated with emphasis that he does not want to marry yet, and that when he does It will be an English girl.Millions of eym- pathetic hearts around the Empire will agree that he ought to have in later years was to save some say in the choice of a Itfe partner.British royalty hae more freedom in such selections than it used to have; witness Princess Mary, the Duke of York and Princess Patricia.And the choice on the European continent has dwindled since the war and revolutions have made havoc of many reigning houses.though Qneen Victoria also had a band in shaping them.At least she had much to do in seeing that they were carried out A visit to Prance in his youth was a pleasant interlude for him.He was only fourteen, but Sir Sidney Lee in his rwcent biography says, \u2018\u2018the young prince thrilled Paris and Paris thrilled him.\u201d Prior to that no heir to the British throne and no British monarch had visited Paris for 400 years.When he was able to Insist upon and take more liberty, Edward made many a trip to the Preach capital and formed friend-shipe there, some of which were not only enjoyable In a social sense, but of great value In paving the way for the entente cordiale, which Europe.In his love for Paris and France, and in the French affection for him,.the present Prince of Wales Is like his grandfather.He often visits : the French capital.Incognito, and : goes as frsely about the city as be! does about London.But he has to | ackuowledge many salutations for1 the Parisians are quick and proud ¦ to recognize him, and prouder still Whether his engagement Is an-! when he acknowledges their salutes.H* has a «rfigi,\u201e alert mind.terms He has pressed it since the elections of last year made him Premier; and nothing that his government could do to make the vistr a success will be left undone.Who Will He Wed?Britain the hope is revived nounced during his tour or on his return to Britain, is a secret that the royal family and its advisers are guarding well.What interests the Prince most at this time, is the prospect of seeing new sights, and meeting with new individuals.He will malic a tremendous tour of an old country where buried cities more ancient than the pyramide are being brought to light by explorers and achaeologists, and where mystery has its abiding place.N'atlves of some of the many tribes in the various colonies and districts embraced in South Africa, will parade and m.noeuvre before him in the chain armor their ancestors were centuries ago.Strange rites and ceremonies, so old that, their origin is blotted out by the mists of years, will be .performed for his benefit.Like his brother the Duke of York, who with the Duchess has been in South Africa for many months, he will shoot big p.me.Above ail he will get firsthand impressions of another part of the Empire over which, in the j course of time, he will be called to rule.That is the most important thing.In H-s Grandfather'* Day The world has had some revelations of late regarding the upbringing of the Prince of Wales' gmedfather, the late King Edward, it could be best described in one word.\"Restriction.Until after his marriage his life was lived by tac\u2019udtng men who fought against In the British in the South African i that the South African tonr is a pre-i rales and regiJations.mostly drawn Wax, have tcid Prearier Hertsog inilnde to the marriage of the Prince.j by his father, the Prince Consort, He has had far more freedom, as did bis father King George, than King Edward had until he was of i mature years.Both the King and his eldest son have justified those who had their training and guid ance.If any one ever doubted the mental capacity of the Prince of Wales, as some did that of King Edward , when trying to make him live ac- ! cording to rule, they changed their ! minds long ago.In childhood, as in youth and early manhood, the Prince gave and gives every evidence of an aiert bright mind, and | a capacity for absorbing informa- ! tion that few possess.There are i always flatterers and time servevs where royalty is; but there arc sincere, frank speaking men in Lon- ; don, who speak from personal! knowledge when they say that th» | Prince would make a first-clas?business man.He understands ! business, they say.which is mors j than could be claimed for a good ; many princes who bave figured wit\u2019-, more or less prominence on the ¦ pages of history.It can be said of the Prince of! Wales that he really lives up to his ! motto, \u201cIch Dien\u201d ft serve\").For months at a time he is \u2018 scheduled\" for engagements that Inaugurate social movements of.a wide and varied character, new plans for the extension of Empire trade; the laying of foundation stones of halls of learning.He visits great industrial e'etab; =U ments and meets the motto addition from the humblest to the high-ist.on friendly terms as one British citizen with another He heads campaigns for funds for hospitals.for the sick and the blind; he visits man still suffering frem the sh ck of war; he says and does would the many books and stories written - .- , - \u201e V, ,,,,\t¦nr.Uoïr.\u2019n families.If the Empire could haw an absolutely authentic account of that motto which flits the Prince sc well.That it goes back to the thirteenth century is assured.The merest mention of it will recall to many the school-reader story ol the battle of Crecy fought between the English and the French, on August 26, 1346, on French soil.In that terrific struggle King Edward III.and his son, the Black Prince, were prominent where the fighting was the fiercest.While the English were celebrating tbelr victory the body of the King of Bohemia was found, wearing the now familiar fleur de lys crest with Its motto, \u201cIch Dien.\u201d The delighted King Edward, In the presence of many brave and distinguished knights, bestowed it upon his gallant son.From that time It has been the motto of the Prince of Wales.None who have won the crest or borne that title have honored them more than the man wh« carries them today.The Early Years The lack of snobbery In th* Prince, and the manner In whlek he makes those In his presence feel at ease, l:^d matter of natural gifts and sensible training combined.When It was decided in 1912 that he should go to Oxford as an ordinary student and not as a specially privileged or titled person, the whole nation approved.The wisdom of such a decision was almost at once apparent In the real friendships that he formed, and the real Interest that he took In the life of the people.He won students and citiaens alike by his own qualities; not because he might some day be King of Britain and the Dominions beyond the seas, but because of himself.Prior to entering Oxford University he was in the navy for a while as a cadet on H.M.S.Hindustan.He liked the life, became a good sailor and is one to this day.At Oxford he joined up with the officers\u2019 training corps, and took his work and drill seriously.College studies ended with the outbreak of war.On August 7, 1914, the Prince of Wales was gazetted a second lieutenant In the Grenadier Guards, and though Lord Kitchener and other members of the government tried to prevent it he subsequently got to the front and played a man\u2019s part.\u201cWhat does it matter if I am shot?; I hare four brothers,\u201d is his reported answer to Kitchener\u2019s first refusal.In years to come some biographer may give the world more details of that interview and the Princes' remarks; in the meantime we like to believe that they have been correctly reported; they appear to be character-istio MEGA1ÏÏIC CO.HAPPENINGS K1NNEAR S MILLS Mi.Andrew Smythe, of Inverness, was here on Thursday on business 3ir.and Mrs.H.A.Lowry entertained a large number of frier ,- - to a sugaring off on Tuesday evening last week.Mr.J.James Miles, of L>zander, is the guest of Lis granddaughter.Mr!.Allan Guy.Mr.Alfred Davidson, who ha.?Pec-p dangerously ill, is now slightly improved.MILAN I Mrs.Katie Morrison and son, [Master AJexander, were at the home icf her parents.Mr.and Mrs.J.N.; Murray Yard, for Easter.I Mrs.John Bailey, of Lake Megan-tic, was here at the home of her [father, Mr.A.G.MacDonald.Mr.Norman MacLeod was at [home for a few days iast week.The Intermediate School closed on Thursday, April &th.for the Easter ; ho!
