in swine the bacon types get the preference and in sheep a number of breeds are struck trom the list.In poultry additions are made by way of classes for R.O.P.birds.Messrs.April und Pelletier were present with the Free Zone lists and the totals checked to 34,000 animals.The meeting was decidedly of the opinion chat this guaranteed the free zone area, but that there would be no let ap in the campaign until all possible aad been signed up.The report of the officers respecting che Arena was received.During the big snow storm of last week a corner of the roof collapted under the weight \u2018of snow.None of the steel work Was damaged but about 40 feet of the roof ing will have to be relaid.DR.CAMPBELL IS HONORED GUEST Ministers Join In Congratula- lating Veteran Minister, Was at Hemmingford of Members of the Montreal Presbytery took the occasion at the special meeting held Tuesday in Knox-Cres- cent Church, Montreal to extend their congratulations and expressions of brotherly esteem to Rev.James Patterson, D.D., who, the previous day, nad celebrated his ninety-fourth birthday.Ministers may come and ministers may go, but Dr.Patterson bids fair to go on forever.While not looking vig: orous, he is nevertheless » active anc shows endurance, attending church services and meetings with great regularity, and he still follows with keen, almost professional interest, the proceedings of the church body of which he wus for sixty years the official seribe.It was, in fact, difficult to persuade Dr.Patterson some years ago that it was unfair to him at his age to saddle him with the burden which the Clerk of the Presbytery carries, and it was chiefly the fact that he did not hear very well that finally decided him to relinquish that office.The long ministry of Dr.Patterson has been spent in Canada, although he comes from Scotland.\u2014 As a graduate of the University of Glasgow, he was ordained to the ministry of the Church of Scotland at Dunoon on September 14, 1857.He came to Canada just a year later, and was inducted to the charge of Hemmingford, which he held for the next quarter-century.In the same year he was appointed clerk of the presbytery.In 1882 he came to Montreal and was appointed city mis- slonary and from then on became widely knowix and loved by reason of his energetic interest in the welfare of those in trouble, need, sickness, or other adversity in all parts of the metropolis.His chief care was for those in the hospitals, asylums, prisons, and benevolent institutions, and his work among them occupied a large part of his time.The Chambly Home of the Fresh Air Fund has always engaged his interest, as has also the work of the Prisoners\u2019 Aid Association.In 1915 Rev.James Patterson, as he then was, was made a Doctor of Divinity by the Presbyterian College, in recognition of his long and honorable ministerial service, and in 1917 the Montreal Presbytery publicly took cognizance of his diamond jubilee in the ministry.Although full of years, Dr.Patterson has kept abreast of the times, and he is an advocate of church union, and although he remembers the \u201cgood old times,\u201d he is optimist enough to believe that the present age has many advantages over former days, and still greater opportunities in churcl: \u2018and social service.a wnisitor said to a little girl, \u201cAna wnat will yon do, my dear, when you are as Dig as your mother?\u201d \u201cDiet,\u201d said the modern child\u2014Tit isite.(London.)

To Present Day Evils Growing Out of War Mongelgneur Rouleau, Valleyfield, has delivered a pastoral letter declaring against the present dress of certaln women and of amuse ments now used, Several classes come under the displeasure of the Bishop including those purents who neglect to exercise proper corrective discipline among their children; those who neglect to attend services regularly; those mothers who clothe themselves and permit their duughters to do likewise, in such garments whose brevity and transparency are entirely lacking in modesty; and in conclusion the Bishop asks whether the persons who attend the lascivious dances\u2014old and modern\u2014are really Christians, Mgr.Rouleau in conclusion forbids women to appear In the Church, or at other religious assemblies, unless gowned in robes sufficiently long and sufficiently high, with arms covered and heads covered.In the schools und convents the pupils must be dressed in dress which the knees, those of still longer length to be preferred.Also all ladies who visit the schools or other religious Institutions must be carefully gowned so as to create a good example for the children, ACADEMY AGAIN PLAYS ATIEON

MONEY Government States Road Was Made To Suit Local Needs The Hon, E.I.Patenaude is acting as official road critic at Quebec this winter and on Friday he took up a picce of road at St.Clement.\u2018This road has been a difficult one to build as one contractor lost all his money and the Government found it difficult to find one willing to complete the contract even with a protection deposit of over $4,000, which was held on the original contractor, to help them out.The road was completed by Mr.Leduc, and general report is that he did not make even a reasonable profit.However, that did not prevent a spirited debate on the topic.The Opposition member dealt with troubles between the inunicipality and the Ministry of Roads, in regard to technicalities of construction, the Government, he claimed, having stepped in to insist on the original contract of the municipality being abandoned, to conform with the suggestion of the Roads Department.The St.Clement de Beauharnois Council had made arrangements for à very high class road, and also for the payment of its costs by by-law, but the Government clalm- ed that such a good cluss of work was not necessary, and that much money might be saved by following out a cheaper scheme.The St.Clement de Beauharnois municipality flatly refused to adopt the proposal, having let its contract.Mr.Pntenaude claimed that the Government should have accepted the municipality's stand, but it had stepped in and made arrangements for the building of a much inferior road.The work had been done, and done badly.When in 1928, the municipality saw that the contractor was not carrying out the terms of his original contract, it took him to task and was promptly told by him that they had nothing to say, as he had inade arrangements with the Provincial Roads DepArtment and took his orders from that source.\u2018I'he municipality wrote to the Roads Department, complaining that no en- gincers had been sent to inspect the work.Instructions, said the member for Jucques-Cartier, had apparently been inspectors not to worry about the St.Clement de Benuharnois job, as carried out under the Government's arrangements, although in 1922 inspectors had been on the work when it wns being started under the plans of the municipality.The result was that the work had been scamped, no drains had been made and there had beer holes in the road within a very shoit time.The contractor scemed to be completely in charge of the situation, and had at the close of the job sent in a bill fo.(Continued on Page 6)

Agriculture.At it a resolution was passed demanding the immediate completion of the Hudson Bay Railway.On Friday a group of men waited on the Quebec Premier and Messrs.Caron and Perrault to demand that the Government take over, on the same plan as it now operates the liquor busi: ness, the cheese-making industry of the province, and to set a fixed price of 25c a pound tor all cheese, good and bad.The press is also full of reports of the bad financial condition the Ontario Farmers\u2019 Government had fallen into.Those three items alone are causing criticism, but not content, the delegation which waited on the Premier proceeded to pass further resolutions, one of which was that all interest charges under the Good Roads Act be wiped out and that from now on the Gov- !v li | higher value per acre than any of the ernment maintain and pay for all roads.This delegation was from the Fermiers-Unis.Canada to-day is thinking in terms of economy, especially of government and the above suggestions and reports are not falling on pleased ears.It may truthfully be said that the Eastern farmer sees no sense in the Hudson Bay railway, and that the great majority of Quebec farmers have no sympathy with the demands for dairy control, and also that the Ontario farmers voted out the Farmer Government, yet they as a class are being held up as examples of governmental spendthrifts.- The Canadian farmer to-day pays far more in proportion To the Editor of the Huntingdon Gleaner.Dear Sir: - In your issue of Feb, 21st inst.is given the honor to Charlie Gavin us the first to have his voice recorded on the phonograph, from this locality, Permit me to expluin that in the autumn of 1881 an entertainer with a phonograph and attachment, recording speech and song, gave an cntertainment in the Marshall School House, Trout River, Que, and the late David H.Brown sang \u201cOld Black Joe,\u201d and the writer sang, \u201cDDo All in Life to Please Your Wife, \u2018I'here\u2019s Bound to be a Row.\u201d Both songs were voiced through the phonograph in many places in Canada and the U.S.A, for more than one year, Yours very truly, JAS, B.COOPER Billion Dollar Industry Although the two million American soil on which tobacco is grown constitute only five-tenths of one per cent.of the acreage devoted crops, that of tobacco has a acres of staple crops.Most tobacco is grown in a few States, Kentucky, North Carolina und Virginia being the leading ones, but some tobacco is grown in forty-two States.I'he current Yearbook of the U.8, Department of Agriculture states that since 19189 tobacco has been grown on nearly 450,000 American farms.North Curoling has stood first in value of the crop and Lancaster County, \u2019enn., has been the leading county in acreage and production.llurtford County, Conn, where a large acreage of shade-grown tobacco is produced, has led in value of the crop, averaging $13,000,000 a to what he gets than any other class in Canada.The sales tax hits most everything he buys, while his products are free from the tax.His prices have fallen far closer to the pre war levels! than any other industry, yet because he is disgruntled he is styled \u201cradical.\u201d The term is illused, but because self-styled bodies have taken the name \u2018\u2019farmer\u2019\u2019 the whole industry must, suffer.It is extremely doubtful if the Canadian farmer will ever form a permanently powerful political group.His independence on his farm where self-reliance and individual labor give him his living, tends to keep him apart, and makes it almost impossible for the farmers to be welded together into one group.East and West have different problems and a name cannot bind them, but the farmers owe it to themselves to look! clearly ahead and to watch their own local interests.In that they can be all-successful and by so doing they can drive out that class of political hanger-ons who delight in drawing the wool over the eyes of the thoughtless.} The Farmers and The Shows.At the different breed meetings which were held at Toronto during February a great deal of optimism was shown, especially among the Ayrshire and Holstein breeders.These two breeds are doing a great deal for rural Canada.Through the efforts of the men who guide them, dairy farming is being made more profitable and the young people are in consequence taking a more active and lasting interest in farm life.That is as it should be.To foster this enthusiasm and practical use the Record of Performance tests and the show ring make valuable assistants.The shows seem a long way off yet, but the Orms- town Show will soon be at hand.This show stands unique in Canada, with but one object.in view\u2014fostering better farming.Great as has been its success in the past, the future should offer more.Repeatedly have the leaders in the dairy breeds pointed out the ever increasing markets in the West for good dairy cattle, and to supply that market, apart from our own Provincial market, requires advertising.The District of Beauharnois has such a medium in the Ormstown Show.Every man has some good stock that he takes pride in.Let him start fitting them for the show ring.If they don't win, the competition will display the weaknesses.Numbers may not always stand for quality, but they have an advertising value.Much of the success of the United States has been founded in a four word phrase \u2018Greatest in the World.\u201d March is just opening, start fitting your stock and enter at the Ormstown Show so that it may be said this June that the District of Beauharnois has the greatest! display of dairy cattle in Canada.Business comes to those who seek it.The show ring offers such an opportunity.The Quebec School Question.For years things have been smouldering in the Protestant schools of Quebec, especially has this been true in the city of Montreal, and the cause has been religion.In 1903 the law was changed so that, for the purposes of education, the Jews were classified as Protestants.They have since attended the Protestant schools, multiplied in numbers and now predominate in some schools on the Island.The Protestant School Board of the City wants a new arrangement; certain of the Jews want another panel; while others want the continuance of the present plan, and in this they are supported by the Protestant Committee of the Council of Public Instruction.The situation has now reached a head with a bill before the Quebec Legislature.The Jews have a brilliant debater in the person of Mr.Bercovitch, who fought the bill last week.He states that 12,000 children of the Jewish faith attend the Protestant schools and that year, or unre than two-thirds the value of all crops produced in the State.The United States leads the world as a tobacco producer, and in the number! and diversity of types produced to supply varying demands.So far as statistics are available they show that the eleven principal tobacco-producing countries cach produced upward of HL000,000 pounds annually before the war.In order of quantity produced these countries are the United States, British Isles, Russia, Hungary, Dutch East Indies, Japan, Germany, Philippine Islands, Brazil, Cuba and Northern Cnucasia.China produces much tobacco, but statistics are not available, : In the Yearbook much attention is given to the historical and economic development of the tobacco crop since earliest Colonial times, It is said that when America wus first discovered the natives were growing the crop from 4 dE IN BORN

Canada as far south us Brazil, and that they understood such fundamental: practices as proper spacing in the field, topping and suckering the plants, and the distinctive processes of drying now known as air-curing, sun-curing and fire-curing.The growing of cigar wrapper tobacco under shade, which has become! very extensive in Connecticut and\u2019 i'lorida, is one of the important devel- opimnents in the industry which has come from the experimental work carried on by \u2018the U.8.Department of Agriculture.This method has made it possible to produce a high-grade leaf for the purpose which formerly could be secured only from foreign countries, Although there has been à great increase in the consumption of tobacco since the Civil War, the crop advances very little into new territory.Each type of tdbacco is rather closely limited to certain localities because of soil and climatic conditions.In most of the tobaceo-growing regions only a small part of the farm land, about 10 per cent, is devoted to the crop in nonmal years, and any noticeable increase in price results in an increase in acreage in the original region.Because of the rapid rise in the use of cigarettes now being manufactured nt the rate of 60,- 000,000,000 à year, there has been a great demand for the fire-cured type of tobacco grown in the South Atlantic States.In these States there is much land lying idle which is not sufficiently productive for general farming, but which by the use of fertilizers can be made to supply the demand for any increase in acreage of tobacco.On the other hand, in Poland all railways are owned by the government in Germany about 92 per cent, Italy approximately 74 per cent, Belgium 59 per cent.and in France about 22 per cent.Outside of Europe conditions also differ widely, In India, including the native states, the share owned or controlled by the government is about 85 per cent, Japan 67 per cent, Canada approximately 50 per cent., British South Africa 82 per cent, and British Australasia 98 per cent.The growth of the world's railways since the beginning of the war is, according to authorities in railway matters, approximately 50,000 miles.WASHING EAGLES Down in

Canadian principles and Canadian ideas, so that they may grow up real, good Canadian citizens.I know that the great majority of Jewish citizens are against separate schools, but rather want their children to go into schools with other children, so that the schools may be the melting pot, whore they will get their education and the ideas of this province.We only ask that you help us to make our

York, of the railway mileage of the world and the share owned by the various governments.The total length of railways in operation, according to the latest figures of accepted authorities, now approximates 750,000 miles, as compared with 700,- 000 miles, in 1918, 500,000 in 1900, 400,000 in 1890, 250,000 in 1880 and 25,000 in 1850.The share owned by governments was in 1928 about 85 per cent, against approximately 83 per cent.in 1918; 28 per cent, in 1906 and 24 per cent, ip 1896.Governmental ownership, however, differs widely in the various countries and continents.In Europe as a whole about 50 per cent.of the rall- roads are governmentally owned, in South America approximately 83 per cent, in Africa 50 per cent., in Asia 70 per cent, in Austraila 90 per cent.and in North America exclusive of the United States about 49 per cent.In the United States and Great Britain, as is well known, governmental ownership of railways does not exist, and this is true also of Spain.A

heated room of an unpretentious resi dence in the East End of the city, a room.fairly bristling with test tubes, glass trays, miscroscopes and other apparätts of that kind, experiments have been started that are of interest to every corn-grower in the Province, The room is the official parasitic laboratory established by the Dominion De- partnient'of Agriculture in connection with the war that is being waged in this district on the destructive European corn-borer, while the experiments have to do with a new parasitic wasp, known -as Exeristes, brought \u2018to the United States from France caly a few months ago.A supply of the wasps arrived here two weeks ago, and already A.B Baird, thé entomologist \u2018in charge \u201cof\u201d the lalioratary, is \u2018busily.engaged pro- pagäting the.little insects that have proved so beneficial \u201cto corn-growers in Europe.' Co 1 Larger Than Housefly.\u2018The Exeristes is slightly larger than a housefly and has the characteristic wilip Body.The females are equipped with an ovipositor or tail protuberance nearly an inch in length, and it is with this deadly weapon supplied by nature, that the little parasite combats the borer.Its method of\u2018 working is to pierce the corpstalk with the oviposi- tor and sting the borer, killing it.The moth then .deposits its eggs on the bodies of the dead borers and the eggs hateh into maggots, which feed on the borer's body, developing into the cocoon stage.It Is in\u2019 the cocoon stage .that Mr.Baird -Intends to liberate the.parasites D e5-100h as the weather.is sufficiently .warm,-andall cocoons developed during the interim will be stored in a cold place to arrest development.10 The new parasite is not being introduced for the purgose of .replacing the tiny habrobracona, brought here last summer, but rather as an sally of that little Ihseët which Has been incorrectly described as a wasp.\u2018It is really an ichaeumop tly sad is \u2018Blmogt infinitesi- malta sige.\u201d TCT : \u201cAbout 600,000.habrobracona were Jiterated from the \u2018\u2019âdal laboratory last year, and observation will be made as soon as.warm, weather arrives to see whether they have been able to withstand.Ontario's.rigorous winter climate., -.4 4 Mr.Baird is\u2019 incliviell to \u2018think that the new parasite will, prove hardier, He explained that, even if climatic conditions.do not affect the parasites, ft will require three or_.four years for 8 sufficient number te propagate In order to\u2019 combat the borer, which has several years \u201cstart and breeds very rapidly.-He therefore warns farmers that they must not relent in their own activities to\u201d combat the borer.AS THE GLEANER ISTO A PUPIL Winning Composition By Ivor \u201cDaniel In' Academy The editor is busy mostly \"all the time, seated before - a desk covered with papers and books which he is busily reading to gét \u2018ideas and news for.his paper.He attends all meetings apd snything of local interest and the then puts his thoughts on paper.The roadman has to go to stores to sell advertisements to pay for the work of printing, he also goes in \u2018the summer to other towns and villages.These are then taken to:the.editor who marks which size of: type he wants used, and they are: then.taken to the Linotype operator.- At this station they set the ads and news on lines of: thirteen ems.Some types are not sct by machine, so they have to be set by hand which takes about S'témes: as long.They are then set into advertisements, spaced off and set \u2018iii the required length.When the dds, and news are set they \u2018then take proofs of them and they are read and required corrections made, they are placed on'a flat stone and are then placed jn the position wanted and \u2018on the right page.\u2018These.-pages are locked up by things, called coins, and are then carried to the bed of the press, CCC _- \u2018The préné fevolves, and every revo- lation \u2018the - press.makes it prints a paper which \u2018is.printed on the other, \u2018gide again.Sometimes.& mistake is found when a lot.of papers are print- æd-and these are no good, After the \"printing is done they are put in a fold- ithg' machine operated by two men.They are then carried drom the folder to # m&n: who puts.the labels on and are léft to dry dora while and they are.tiéd - up ready to go away.They, gre taken to the Post Office to go away.The papers which go the for thest go to Australia and China.\u201cMrs.Hastings.Re-elected .\u2014\u2014.-2nd.Vice-President At-the annual meeting of the lady * 'eiirlers in Montreal on Thursday lest, Mrs.C.A.Hastings, Huntingdon was .resglected Second Vice-President;

weather, but if we were able to bring back some of the early pioneers of u hundred years ago what would they tell us.A In the summer of 1823 settlers arrived in a wholly new country, the English River District and the settlers of that year had a winter of deep snows.They endured hardships due to the primitive shelters and the new climate, but they succeeded.The story of one settler, tells of his arrival and their first seasons in that District, Hearing of the new lands that had been opened, 1 visited with my father the district in the summer of 1828.As we passed Ste.Martine we saw the men at work on the first gristmill and the first church.There was no road on the English river, simply a foot-path on the east bank.The west bank had not even a track and was unsurveyed.There were very few settlers, and they were poor, having just come in: I did not fancy the river lots, and chose the one 1 did on the Scotch concession on account of the fine bush upon it, hickory being especially plentiful.We returned home by Beauharnois in order to see the agent.We asked first for lots on the Grande Marais, which Brown refused, saying that he meant to keep that concession for the French.We went to take possession in the fall, going in a canoe to Capt.Ogilvie's, whence we carried our goods on a handbarrow through the bush to the English river, where we placed them in another canoe that we borrowed.We got along smoothly until we reached Goundry\u2019s rapids, when the canoe stuck fast in the rocks.It was now late in the day with appearance of rain, I said 1 would go and look for help and started up the river bank, until I came to Allan Caldwell's where 1 met a number of men returning from a bee, I told of our situation when one said, looking at the gathering darkness and the rain that had begun, that he \u201cwadna gae down the creek for a dollar.\u201d I made my way back with difficulty, running into the logs that strewed the banks, and found my father preparing to pass the night in the canoe.1 said it would not do for us to stay there on such a night, and just then I saw a light at a distance, ana we started for it.Although it did not seem to be far off, I thought we would -never get to it, for they had been knocking down trees and it was hard to get through them.The shunty was that of Charles McNulty, who made us welcome.In the morning, they would not let us leave until we had breakfast, when we took another canoe to the head of the rapids and carried to it the loading of the other, when we sailed up to Houston's where was the footpad that led into the Scotch concession.The trees stood very thick ang the only guide was the blaze.We stayed with a neighbor until we got a shanty of our own and that fall brushed on our lot.The winter was a very snowy one, and on going back for the remainder of our effects and a cow, we had to leave the latter with Robert Brodie.We worked hard all winter and made quite a clearance across the ridge.We had a good burn, and planted it in the spring.The yield was wonderful, for we dug 200 bushels of potatoes, besides the corn we cut.We never had any scarcity.Settlers came in 50 slowly that it was often difficult to get hands enough to raise a shanty.\u2018The first road we cut out was along the base-line, which was done.in 1825.That was the year of the Miramichi fire.The country was full of stifling smoke, which caused a feeling of sickness, and it was so dark that we had to stay indoors.There was fire here and there around, which, besides destroying much tkmber, burned holes in the 50il and obstructed passage in the bush by toppling over large trees.My father was both a weaver and a shoe- There were only three shanties in the concession when we went in\u2014Robert Hunter, a carpenter, and afterwards engineer on the boats to the Basin, who came from Lochwinnoch, James Davies, from Kilbirnie and John Neal from Kilbarchan, who lived together, and John Metcalfe, a mason, from the ST.CLEMENT ROAD (Continued from Page 1) $12,000 on the second contract, to the municipality, which knew nothing of its conditions.The result was suit against the municipality by the contractor, on the contract with the Roads Department.The Ministry of Roads had sat back with folded arms.Was it the intention of the Government to place the municipalities i 'nthe hands of contractors.If the Road Department\u2019s policy were good, due account must be taken of the wishes of the municipalities.In replying to Hon.J.E.Perrault, Minister of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries, who answers for the Hon.J.1.Perron, in the Lower House, twitted the Opposition for taking issue with the Government for forcing a municipality to save money.The usual roads criticism was that too much was ordered to be spent.There \u2018had been troubles.The road had been begun in 1909 and 1920 nothing much had been done, and the contractor had failed in business.In 1922 another contractor took charge, and it was found that local stone was not suitable for the work as outlined by the municipality.Se a change had been ordercd to allow of its being used in another class of road, This was in the best interests of the municipality, which was in danger of becoming extravagant, ns the traffic did not warrant such high class work in any case.The Roads Department surely had a right to fix the amounts of its own grants.As far as the suing of the municipality by the contractor was concerned the Roads Department had no action to- take, The Government had saved BR at London, Ont, January 19, | s Mcitor fo the spplicasts, olicitor for the applican ; .London, Ont, od the people's money from extravagant expenditure, and the Opposition had no right to criticize.The Administration had been thoroughly sound so far north of England.For many years we were troubled with wild beasts and at night in winter, in going from shanty to shanty women would carry a fiery stick to scare the wolves.One night, when her husband was away at work, Mrs.Metcalfe was aroused by a pack around her shanty, and looking out of its sole window, a square of four panes, she counted 12.The wooden- : latch on the door was all that \u201cstood between her und them.One of the settlers, William Linus, went out hunting, lost his way, and when found his feet were frozen, which cuused his death.For a long time, and until the roads got anyway good, we went to mill in a canoe or carried the grist.| HUNTINGDON R.R.NO.2 CHATEAUGUAY LED INSALESOF - HONEY IN 19234 Figures lssued at Qu Show County Held Its Proud Place C.Vaillancourt,
