they did not swell up like \u2022 nglicans and Preshyterranr becai.se they were playing with unmicratioa work.There was a mighty work to no and no church could do it better than the Methodist Chur:h, A vote of thanks was passed to the speaker and also a résolut! m to continue in the support of educational work.WESLEYAN COLLEGE, STAN-,STEAD.Rev.P.S.Dobson, M.A , presented the report of Stanstead College.They were trying to be a living example of Christian training.Under Mr.Trueman\u2019s guidance it was going to he a large institution.It had been said that the Protestant interests were dying out in the Eastern Townships, but Stanstead College refuted that statement, during the last year there were 189 students in residence with accommodation for 1\u201d>0.It was in a good financial condition.Many of their students carnc to them because they had got out of touch with the regular training, and they did the best they could and thought they succeeded in getting the very most out of them.The moral and spiritual tone of the school was very satisfactory- -this year they had the linest set of boys and girls he had ever met.Mr.Trueman's method of discipline was to take away the \"stone barrier\" and say \u201cDo is right.\u2019\u2019 it required patience sacrifice ami sometimes meant appointment hut it taught the to control themselves so that they left they would put the method of thought and living operation.EXTENSIVE PLANS UNDER WAV.Mr.Trueman was going itway this CANNOT RECONCILE FIRST LORD'S PLEA FOR LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS.London, J une 7.\u2014The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says that, with hardly any exception, the German press have received Winston Churchill\u2019s statement in absolute silence.\u201cI.fear, however,\" he adds, \u201cthat the geneeal trend of opinion will be adverse t,o the policy of the British Admiralty.Germans will certainly have difficulty in reconciling Mr.Churchill\u2019s statement of Thursday with his various picas for the limitation of armaments and especially with his plan for a year's cessation from the building, of ships.\u201d Captain Pcrsius, writing in the Her liner Tageblatt, thinks First Lord Churchill\u2019s statement must call forth astonishment.He points out that the British fleet is three times the strength of the German fleet, that Mr.Churchill has no ground for anxiety, and there is not the least reason why England should take this measure so suddenly.\u201cIf Canada, he says, \u201chad given these ships they would have certainly remained in Canadian waters.Now the ships will remain in home waters and will directly strengthen the home fleet in tne North Bca and the iron girdle which England is forging along the German coasts will be made stronger.\u2019\u2019 .-*- ^^ ^ ^ DEMAND DEMOBILIZATION OF BALKAN ARMIES.Constantinople, June 7.\u2014.(Special) \u2014It is reported that several European powers have instructed their ambassadors and legations to take collective steps here and in Balkan capitals to demand demobilization of respective armies.CAVALRY LEEI FOR CAMP Will Spend Twelve Dap For \u2018 _ at Levis MEN WILL BE GIVEN NOTHING BUT PRACTICAL WORK.Members of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, under command of Lt.-Qol.E.B.Worthington, of this city, left, this morning for St.Joseph dc Levis, where they will go into camp for ten days.In conversation with the Record, prior to his departure for Levis yes terday, Lt.-Col.Worthington said that the work this year would be very practical.To carry out its duties in war, cavalry is required to ride, shoot, scout, signal, obtain and transmit information, move rapidly, cover long distances, combine surprise and attack to the best advantage, and be efficient in the service of protection.It is also important that eacli man should ht taught how to find his way across country, and how to spare his horse nnd keep it in condition.The field training will include writing orders, reports and field messages, map reading, simple field sketching and signalling.11TK HUSSARS.The Hth Hussars, whose headquarters are at Richmond, went to camp in full strength.Cups donated by the following officers have encouraged the men, and every member is enthusiastic.The following.is a list of the donors: For the most efficient Squadron, by Lieut.-Col.Boutelle;

Solomon Lobenstein, vice-president; Harrison M.Le Baron, cashier.Up within a short time of his death Mr.Le Baron was cashier of the bank, then becoming its president and being succeeded in the cashiership by his son, C.A.Le Baron.The deceased was also for many years a director of the Exchange bank of this city and was recently chosen a member of the directorate of the Santa Rosa bank.He was a director of the Sonoma County bank of Petaluma and of other institutions He was actively eogaged in the financial and business circles of the county.He took a great deal of interest in the dairying and Agricultural interests of this county and State.Some time since he turned over the management of his big business affairs to his sons.He owned several thousand acres of land in Sonoma, Marin, Mendocino, Kings and Fresno counties.By dint of energy and care he amassed a large fortune.Mr.Le Baron was twice married.At.the time of his death he was a widower.The following children by his first, wife survive: C.A.Lo Bar on, cashier of the Valley Ford bank-Monterey R.Le Baron, Bert E.Lo-Baron, Clyde F.Le Baron, Harrison M.Le Baron, Jr., and Everett ^1.Lc Baron.H.W.Le Baron of this city is a brother of the deceased and Mrs.Fedora Pool of Preston, Sonoma County, is a sister, and Miss Mary Pool is a niece.Another sister is Mrs.Gamsby of Canada.Four bro thers, Benjamin, Nelson, Albert and Wilfred Le Baron, all residents of Canada, also survive and there are a number of other relatives.The deceased was a relative of the late Hollis Hitchcock, widely known deceased capitalist of this county.Mr.Le Baron was a nvimber of long standing of the Masonic fraternity and was a charter member of Santa Rosa Lodge, No.646, of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.-A- RATHER ambiguous.\"How docs my voice compare.'' she asked, , \"With that of Cousin Lll ?\u2022' \"'Your cousin\u2019s voice,\u2019\u2019 ha said, \u201cis good But yours is bettor still.\u201d A CASE OF NECESSITY.Clergyman (to small boy)\u2014Don't you know that it\u2019s a sin to (Uff on Sunffav unless it\u2019s \u201e ruse of neeessity?Boy Yes.sir.Clergy man -Then, why are von doing it ?Boy\u2014\u2019Cause this is a case of necessity.A fellow can\u2019t lish without bait.ItliiliSTS IN II (Continued from Page 1) with other residential schools.They were just giving birth to larger ideas and he expected they would plan extensions of grounds and buildings.He referred to the very generous Hodge bequest through which they were able to assist many students and anv cases recommended by the members of Conference would be favorably considered.They were trying to do the hardest thing in education\u2014to manage a mixed boarding school.Concluding, Mr.Dobson said.\u201cWe need your \u201cco-operation, your help and your prayers.It is your institution and we invite you to visit us and we will give you a welcome and be glad for you to get into close touch with us.\u201d Dr.Young and other gentlemen spoke in an appreciate manner of the effective work of the College, and it was suggested that an excursion be made during the Conference.MONTREAL WESLEYAN COLLEGE.Principal Smyth afterwards spoke on the subject of the Wesleyan Theological College.Principal Smyth was intensely gratified to find that in the Montreal Conference the interest in the College had greatly deepened and that they had the full confidence of the Metb-adist people.Students were coming to them from Nova Scotia on the one side and Saskatchewan on the other, and they felt they were with the flowing tide.During the past year they had been engaged in a scheme of co-operation.With a staff of 16 professors they had been able to specialize in their own particular departments.In the University the students had also been doing good work and the University authorities had displayed a very friendly attitude towards them.They were able to get Royal Victoria College from McGill for their Convocation and other privileges.In athletics their students had done well.It was of course possible to carry athletics too far but it was a good thing that theological students were able to hold their own in athletics and had not ceased to be men.One of their students, A.J.Martin, was preparing himself for a special kind of work and was going to engage in medical missionary work.He was the first man in surgery in Ins class and had taken honors in three other medical subjects.\ti NEW BUILDINGS REQUIRED.They had so many students last year that they were compelled to turn the recreation room, two lecture rooms and the old library into bedrooms.There was no -other alternative but to erect a new building.He regretted they had lost the eminent services of Dr.Patten during the last session.He referred again to the scheme of co-operation which had worked very successfully; while they retained absolutely their own rights and autonomy, they were willing to co-operate with any of the other colleges to get the greatest efficiency.Supply work had turned out very fortunately for them, no college in Canada did totter for its students in this matter.He spoke of the scheme for their new building for which the contract had just been signed.Other denominations had fine, well equipped buildings and theirs would be a credit to Methodism.It would accommodate 100 students amD have a gymnasium and a hoist.The work of the college during the past year had been eminently satisfactory.WILL RAISE $300,000 Mr.Dawson, one of the Governori also spoke and advocated extendin the time of the campaign until $300 000 had been raised.A resolution t this effect was passed.RETIRING CONFERENCE SEORl TARY THANKED.Dr.Young moved a vote of than! to Rev.A.E.Pates for the exceller manner in which he had acted as Sei rotary.Dr.Sparling seconded an Dr.Ryckman and others supportée Carrieh unanimously.FARWELL TO PASTOR.Rev.Mr.Cobbledick, whD was lea\\ ing for Alberta, spoke a few word of fatwell.MEMORIAL SERVICE At four o\u2019clock a memorial servie was held.Many touching tribute were paid to the memory of th Ministers who bad passed away dui ing the year.The life and characte of Dr.Larmer of Metcalf, was es peeialiy extolled by Rev.C.S.Deei rose, and many others who knew hin LAY- ASSOCIATION ANNUA MEETING.The Lay Association met yesterda afternoon, The following officers wci elected: President C.W.Cate.Vico-Pr idnnt\u2014W.H.Goodwi (Montre;

7.\u2014(Special) From the reddish look of the maple trees on the hills surrounding this village many attributed to the recent i frosts.This seems, however, to be a mistake as Mr.John Longeway, who is building a sugar house in his i woods, says it is caused by the cater-i pillars, which are crawling through I the woods in large numbers.The 1 time to cope with this plague is sev-i eral weeks earlier when they are I breeding, and when many paid no heed to the repeated warnings to de I stroy the nests before the worms escaped from the hushes around the roads and lots, and even from the ap-i pie trees in some places.A few of the farmers and some of the villagers : waged a war on them, but nuny j others paid no heed and it is now feared that the country will pay-dear.It will be remembered that a similar plague a few years ago de stroyed some of the finest maple sugar bushes in Sutton and the trees had to be cut down for wood.J.G.Sangstcr City.Phone 4SI Officers Elected ForCom-bined Counties

which any patent medicine vendor might envy.A1 though a good bargain was evidently made, the public did not take the sale kindly, became sarcastic, openly condemned the transaction.A benefactor of mankind had become a shrewd business man, before mankind had really benefitted from his discovery.Whether justly or unjustly, Dr.Friedman suffered an eclipse of popularity.If his turtle serum is good for iibercular trouble, the worthy doctor has discredited his own find.es are second-hand.He will not purchase new ones.He speaks of anyone who has changed his views as \u2018inconsistent.\u2019\u2019 Whereas the other\u2019s mind is merely expanding and individualizing.Save in fighting for a principle, war has always been inconsistent.It is seriously urged that war is necessary to thin out the population, but surely only a fool would thin out the population by choosing the ablest, strongest, brightest and most patriotic to be summarily disposed of.The Civil War in the United States mowed down thousands of that Republic\u2019s finest men, and among them countless young Southerners of fine family and chivalrous ideals.To-day the uselessness of the war is admitted.But the South, the South of fine family tradition and expanding influence, was practically killed in the deaths of its thousands of young men.Another inconsistency of war is the ambulance corps.Modern times have brought with them the nurse, and the surgeon, and the \u201csuffering alleviating\u201d and life-saving devices, and in silent protest these agents of mercy follow the path of war.War means a wholesale killing, a hell of slaughter.And the ambulance corps, inconsistent in iri ery existence, is ready to mend what is so ruthlessly broken\u2014human life.There is something childish m deliberately breaking, and then deliberately glueing.Yet that is war, and actual war, and that is what goes on in every battle \u2014 somebody breaking, somebody mending.No one, apparently, realizes the inconsistency of standing menl up to be shot, and a short time after doing one\u2019s level best to resuscitate the wounded or dying men.Eventually the \u201cinconsistency\u2019\u2019 of war, the protest, that marches along as an.\u201cambulance corps,\u2019\u2019 will do more than all the Hague conferences to bring peace on the earth.But one might go on indefinitely, finding in nations and individuals, inconsistencies in plenty.But they are a sign of progress, a working out of the changes that must come to all men and nations that would \u201cgo on.\u201d time, is evident in his decision to do | away with the time-honored office of i poet-laureate.This post has served j out its usefulness, and it must be | admitted, has not provided any\u2019j striking examples of poetic talent in j recent years.Moreover, the last I appointment was not made without certain feelings of bitterness.Probably» Tennyson was the best example of \u201cCourt poet,\u201d who has held the office, of poet laureate.He dignified bis position as poet for occasions, and the honor might well have died w7ith him.The Parcel Post The parcel post system, if introduced into Canada, will be welcomed by a very large number of people.Even the carriers, upon whom the burden of distribution will fall, will receive an increase qf salary, a compensation that is usually satisfying.One important provision, which should recommend the bill to smaller centres, is the establishment of a zone system, protective in its workings of local merchants who have to compete with the mail trade of the large departmental stores.\u2014The Onlooker.Rewards of Merit The conferring of honors by the King is becoming a giving out of rewards of merit to men whose talents or achievements deserve recognition.In the list of the King\u2019s birthday honors, an actor, a playwright, a surgeon, and a shipbuilder\u2014surely a list democratic enough to please anyone\u2014were '-granted knighthoods or baronetcies.The time ,Qf \u201cKing\u2019s favorites\u201d has passed aud the man with the \u201cbrain service\u201d receives the rewards of the Crown.That King George is in sympathy with the spirit of practical good sense, which characterizes his NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD The lumber industry in the Pacific Northwest employs 250,000 men.A law has been passed recently in New Zealand which makes a fine possible for any person that works more than eight hours a day.The law first-was applied to women and girls working in hotels, but now it includes everybody.Each city and town in the island chooses a day for itself that gives to the working classes a half holiday.It may be Saturday or any other day in the week.A new trade union has been formed in London, Eng., recently.It is named the Home Makers\u2019 Trade Union and its aims are given as follows : To assist wage earners in their endeavor to obtain better wages and conditions; to assist as a right upon proper proportion of men\u2019s wages to be paid to the wife for the support of the home; to improve in every way the status and condition of women.A minimum wage of $9 per week for all women and girls employed in interstate commerce work and a prohibition against the employment of girls under fifteen years of age are proposed in a bill introduced by Senator Chilton of West Virginia.Under the terms of the measure it would apply to all women employed in transportation, telegraph and like interstate service.-y- THE ORIGINAL.\u201cWell, auntie, have you got your photographs yet ?\u201d \u201cYes;

but we are even more pleased to meet and confer with other members of our world-wide sisterhood\u2014 the Society that has bound ji he earth with its little ribbon white\u2014 whose motto is prohibition for the state, total abstinence for the individual and protection for the home.\u201cThis ideal in temperance sentiment has been gradually reached since the time'when moderation was commended, and prohibition undreamed of.\u201cA Boston temperance Society of a hundred years ago pledged its members not to get Itrunk» unless on holidays, and in 1908 New York celebrated the centennial of their first organized temperance Society.Their pledges did not exclude liquor selling and excepted wine at public dinners, but a fine for breaking the pledge of 25c, with an additional quarter for intoxication.Then the use of liquor for medicinal purposes, was universal.In society, the soeinl glass was thought to he intlispen-silxle\u2014without it cooks could not achieve culinary success;

for moderation has been proved to be hut a snare.\u201cLiquor is now banned from many high society circles.President Wilson has announced that during his term of office no liquor shall be served at the White House.The Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr.Sproule, at Ottawa, has also excluded liquor from his table.In the highest medical circles its use has dwindled to a negligible amount.Sir Victor Hoss-ley, the greatest English surgeon, said the old routine was represented by the three \u201cD\u2019s\u201d\u2014diet, drugs and drink\u2014but now in the great temperance hospital in London there had been forty years of successful experience in treating all kinds of diseases without alcohol, and last year out of 1529 patients only three were given alcohol, but unfortunately they died before a cure was effected.\u201cIn business circles drinking is meeting with less and less toleration \u2014while athletes, explorers and the like have learned that they must forego using liquor if they would excel.\u201cThere are at present eight States in the American Union which have enacted prohibitory laws making together with the other sections under local option 70 p.c.of its territory and over half of the population of the United States under prohibition.In Canada Prince Edward Island allows no liquor to be retailed.Nova Scotia only allows lit in the city of Halifax, while in Quebec Province 859 Parishes out of 1168 are without liquor licenses; in Ontario there are 502 out of 835, with the prospect of making the map of Ontario soon all white, while one half of Manitoba is under prohibition.\u201cThis year has seen many notable victories for the cause of temperance \u2014particularly the passing of the Kenyon Webb Bill by the Congress of the United States, by which means liquor which in the past has been sent by the car load into prohibition states will now be contraband and prohibited from entering dry territory.After learning of these temperance achievements it is surprising to find that the drink bill of Canada is over *180,000,000 per annum or nine times the revenue received; and that the drink bill of the world is over a million dollars every hour\u2014and that the world\u2019s beer would make a lake large enough to drown all the inhabitants of England, Canada, Australia and the United States.?One boy out of every five must be sacrificed to this monstrous habit unless a greater effort is made to prevent it.\u201cIt was thought that prohibition would impoverish the country but experience has proved to the contrary.Kansas is a noteworthy example of ! he benefits of prohibition \u2014with its villages grown into cities, with less Uian 2 p.c.of illiterates, and with 1 he number of inebriates, insane, feUde-minded and paupers greatly decre used, and with 38 of its poor farms, and 53 jails without a single patron, and so it has proved wherever it has been adopted.May the time soon arrive when the flag of prohibition will wave over land and for this aim our W.C.T.U.will continue to work and pray.Again thanking you for your welcome.\u201d -«- SLIPS IN ORATORY.Ev»n the most facile speakers are guilty of unpardonable errors in their oratory.Mr.Arthur Balfour on one occasion spoke of \u201can empty theatre of unsympathetic auditors,\u201d and Lord Curzon of Kedleston remarked that \u201cthough we are not out of the wood we have a good ship.\u201d Mr.Asquith once stated that \u201credistribution is a thorny subject which requires delicate handling, or it will tread on some people\u2019s toes.\u201d Mr.St.John Brodrick, when a member of the House of Commons, told that assembly that \u201camong the mnny jarring notes heard in this House on military affairs this subject (mobilization) at least must ho regarded as an oasis.\u201d In a debate on the London education hill Mr.Walter Long said, \u201cWe are told that by such legislation the very heart of the country has been shakeu to its foumlatious,\u201d m Old Dutch Cleanser is a wonder-worker.The fine particles cut the grease and the caked dirt, loosen and remove the hardest \u2018\"burnt-in\u201d food crusts in a jiffy.It\u2019s the quickest, easiest, a most sanitary cleanser.Many other uses and full direction» on large Sifter-Can 10c.^ 1 i i i \\ u iTTTH i F i-t-Pefotail As creators of styles \u2014as designers of novelties\u2014as masters of the art of fine tailoring \u2014the Fit-Reform organization stands supreme in the Dominion.Let us show you the newest styles in Fit-Reform Suits.7so REFORM W.W.Shaw A simple food, but a nourishing food.Just the heart of sweet-corn rolled thin and toasted Appetizing, easily digested, good for men, women and children.Put up in big always fresh Look for this signature packages\u2014 TOASTED fi>C0RN«?i FLAKES ¦ ¦lilt CHU» TOAJUD C0#N riAKC^CO.LONDON.CANAOjC The Merchants Bank Established 1864\t()f Octllcldct dead Office, Montreaf President,.,™ .SIR H.MONTAGU ALLAN.C.V.O?Vice-President .K.W.BLACKWELL' General Manager m., .E, F.HEJÎDBN Paid up Capital.,.$6,758,900 Reserve Fund and Undivided Profits.6,820,189 104 Branches and Agencies In Canada, extending from the Atlantic to the Paclfloj A General Banking Business Transacted.Special Attention Given to Colloctlon»;

and as the quality of both our eastern and western cheese is excellent, being well cured and full grass flavor, the chances are that as soon as it gets well distributed on the other side orders will rapidly increase; as nothing takes on the other side as readily, as good quality in any kind of food.English buyers are holding off a little and probably some cheese will be held over this week.No.3 yellow quoted at 65Jc.in store, new No.3 mixed is quoted at 644c.in store.Oats.\u2014The market is quiet, No.2 C.W.in car lots being quoted at 41c.to 414c in store;
