convention speakers and on this occasion there was no exception.In the forenoon a large number of farmers gathered at \u2018\u2019Burnside,\u2019 the home of R.R.Ness & Sons, to take in the Cattle Judging Competition and at \u201cWoodside \u2019, the home of Albert J.Ness, for the Horse Judging Competition.This competition was quite spirited, 29 young men entering.The competition was conducted

the afternoon the gathering met in the Temperance Hall, How- ic, at 2 p.m., with R.K.Ness presiding.Mr.Ness referred briefly to the work of the Association in the district.: Secretary Stephen presented the financial statement which showed a small balance on hand.Dr.R, L.Conklin, of Macdonald College, was the first speaker, his subject being \u2018\u201cCommon Disease Among Dairy Cattle.\u201d He first referred to the relationship of the Veterinary practice to agriculture and said that the field had wonderfully broadened during the past few years.As live stock becomes more valuable more and more the farmer requires the veterinary and therefore, there had evolved a closer co-operation between the farmer and the veterinary.He considered the greatest factor in the profession to-day was preventive medicine,\u2014in other words the Dpre- venting of sickness and disease was being considered more than ever before and in this the farmer must study his stock and observe them more closely.As soon as symptoms of disease were noticed it was better to call a veterinary than later when the animal was passed redemption.He considered healthy live stock was a great asset to the country and the time had arrived when the farmer could not afford to have sick animals, especially animals of value.He emphasized the prevention of two prevalent diseases among dairy cattle\u2014mam- mitis, or garet which was more Or tess prevalent.The causes of these were several,\u2014often were internal and frequently came from the generative organs.Abortion was of two kinds\u2014con- tagious and accidental.He mentioned several of the ways in which contagious could be brought to the herd\u2014through contact with other cattle and through the sire.The blood test was essential to ascertain if the germ of abortion was prevalent in the herd.To get rid of abortion farmers must follow the most sanitary and hygienic rules.keeping stables clean and segregate the animals that react or abort.There are times it might be well to test or examine the heifers before they are bred.Dr.Conklin briefly described the anatomy of our animals and gave much information of value to the live stock breeders.All through his address he strongly emphasized the using of preventive medicine to prevent these common diseases in dairy cat- tie.Wheeler Informs Audie on Cow Testing Bend?In the absence of Mr.AV.L.Graham, of Ottawa, Superintendent of Cow Testing Work, Mr.Carl 8, Wheeler gave a splendid outline of the work being done in this district.It may be said of the work of Mr.Wheeler, with some little assistance, he supervises by far the largest Cow Testing Association fn Canada under the Dominion Live Stock Branch.Last year 1195 herds were engaged in Cow *Testing work in Canada, having a total of 12.142.Of this number 535 herds were in Quebec with a total of \u2018If the dairyman will practise 6.786 cows.Last year he supervised 122 herds with 2,008 cows on test.41 of these cows were under the C.T.R.organiation in 1928.In 1925 Mr.Wheeler supervised 112 herds with 1,460 cows, Mr.Wheeler stated that last spring they introduced the new system of daily weighing and reports it a grand success.A few of the old members discontinued the work but new members came in and those who followed out the system of daily weighing will not go back to the old system.On the Cow Testing Work Mr.Wheeler spoke as follows: \u201cCow Testing today is a sound business policy, and has proven to be one of the first principles of Dairy Progress, the Dairy world over.The Daily Milk Sheet, Scales and Babcock will tell what the average man will never find out by himself, which are his profitable and which are his \u2018\u2018boarder\u201d cows.na consistent manner Cow Testing work, together with good breeding and feeding he will be certain of success in his dairy.\u201cWhat is Cow Testing?It is knowing your cows individually, so that you may breed and feed with the best results, also weed out cows that do not come up to a profit paying basis.The average cow produces about 4,000 lbs.of milk and we have 1,164,000 cows in this Province.If we raise the average production 1,000 lbs.per cow to 5,000 Ibs.\u2014and this is a low aver- age\u2014with milk at $1.50 per cwt,, we would increase the dairy revenue of the Province $15,960,000 or to the herd owner of say 15 cows $225.00 per year.Just a little comparison of two cows.I have been testing in one of my centres this last year.Figures Reveal Many Truths \u201cThe high cow made in eight months from May Ist.to January 1st.12.605 lbs.of mil k and 430.30 Ibs.fat.With milk at $1.90 per ewt.an average of last year\u2019s prices, this cow gave a return of $239.49 and she had $6.33 on points in test, which makes a total return of $245.82.Now a low cow for the same eight months, that the owners thinks is a fair producer, and this cow is by no means the low cow of this particular center produced 6.261 lbs.milk and 179.08 butter fat.The milk sold at the same price, $1.90 per hundredweight, would give a return of $118.85, but this cow lost $3.10 on points, in test, which will leave a return of $115.75.This gives the high cow $130.07 more money than the low cow in just eight months\u2019 time.I could make a greater comparison.for I am testing cows that will not retarn $60.to their owners for these same eight months \u2018These are weeds of the dairy.Weeds in Many Dairies Many farmers are working for their cows, not the cows for them.You cultivate your field of corn to keep out the weeds and you would consider a man a poor farmer who did not keep the weeds out of his crop.But what about the man, who lets the weeds grow in his dairy?You may work as hard as you like in the fleld to produce a good, clean, weedless crop and harvest it, to lose money in feeding it to weeds, or so called \u201cboarder\u201d cows, \u201cCow testing, the keeping of records, is nothing more or less than the careful weeding out in the dairy.There is little encouragement to produce feed for cows at a loss, You may say, you have not time to weigh the milk daily from your cows, but you work 365 days each year, to produce feed and care for your cows, and the average herd was found, last year, to have, at least, one cow, and sometimes as high as four, that did not pay their way.Now, would it not be wise to take a little time, to weigh and sample the milk from these cows, and know what each is doihg for you?I! have members In our Cow Testing, who tell me they do not find it any trouble to keep their records, but rather itis a pleasure to know what each cow is doing month by month.\u201cOur standards of quality of milk are steadily on the rise.Not far from here, a factory of good repute has set the standard of test 3.3, and all patrons must come to this test or move out.Now Îf a system of Cow Testing had been been introduced into this locality five years ago I believe all would have been over this standard of 3.3 test long ago.I find the farmers In that particular locality are very much in earnest in our work.And 1 can st.ure you it is a pleasure to work with them.The question of 3.3 milk test is not going to bother them long, \u201cNot long ago some of us had a little laugh about R.O.P.hens.Well, it has een demonstrated what individus records can do.Commercial poultrymen keeping records are averaging 150 to 200 eges Por Hen for the year.The average for Canada {8 $8 per hen.(Continued on Page 2) HUNTINGDON, WINTER'S GRIP ONICE RELEASED Usual Commotion at Annual Occurrence.The usual excitement prevailed Tuesday afternoon March 15th, when the icc began to break above the dam.This annual occurrence draws many spectators, and happening this year us it did in the middle of the afternoon the crowd was large.It seems to be a great desire of many people to wits ness the ice move out.The crowd at the bridge must have numbered over two hundred.At thirteen minutes to four o'clock the ice began to move and eleven minutes later practically all the ice had gone over the dam.The sight in itself was very pleasing to witness; large floes of ice symbolical of shattered power, once unity had been broken, went over the dam.With a rumble and splash they fell and seat up sprays of water; at the same time forming miniature and most beautiful rainbows, The water had been quite high and the breaking of the ice was anticipated with joy.The floes continued to pass down «ll afternoon until in the evening it had practically all gone and the water mark decreased.Last year the ice the

with a crack team of Westmount in the city Snt- urday and suffered their first defent of the season.The score read 2-1.The defensive tactics were not as strong as they might have been.The team representing Westmount was very strong.This team consisted of players from M.A.A.Juniors, McGill Juniors, Westward A.A.A.and West- mount High School.The aggressive work of the local sextet was very good and although they were battling with about as strong a team as the city has were defeated but by a one goal margin.Many times during the match the Academy lads were right through the defense and looked to have Camercn at their mercy, but they were either erratic in their marksmanship or Cameron smothered their efforts.The Westmount players made many a sally and tested Barrington with vurieus brands of shots, but found him harder to pass than a road hog in a flivver, The locals coasted down for sundry sorties on the opposing net, any one of which might easily have wound uj with counters.Only occasionally did the picked team of Westmount get their brand of combination obeying orders, hut there were flashes of clever work at frequent Intervals.The Academy broke up many attacks with their hook checking, and showed nice speed when necessary.The only score for the locals was made by Cecil Ted- stone on a pass from Faille.Ewing and Bedhrook scored for Westmount, The game ended 2\u20141 in favor of the Westmount team.The line-up was as follows: Huntingdon Westmount Goal T.Barrington .Cameron Defence Ferry .oo.Smithers Faille .Harvie Centre Smaill .Bedbrook Wing D.Maxwell

Commons by the Minister of Justice that a conference is to be held to discuss possible amendments to the British North America Act.To this conference will come representatives of each of the local governments of Canada and of the Dominion government and all will be on an equal footing for the Pact of Confederation cannot be amended by one, or even by a majority of the governments\u2014it is an Act of the British House of Commons which would only act if a unanimous demand were made by the governments of Canada.There are those who object to the holding of this conference, some because they sincerely believe the constitutional division of rights cannot be improved upon, others, because they can vision disloyalty in any discussion of things which belong to the era of Macdonald.But sixty years having passed without amendments, and a new Canada having developed, it is reasonable and proper that the legislative machine should be overhauled and new parts substituted for those which are wasteful or antiquated.Pressure for changes does not come from the Dominion government in the first instance, although the present Prime Minister's demand for reformation of the Senate, if carried out by making it an elective body, would require amendments by Westminister.It is the Provinces which are more anxious for changes.For instance, about ten days ago the Province of Ontario took exception to two bills before the House of Commons, one affected loan companies, the other a charter giving certain rights on the Ottawa river.A few weeks ago a Western legislature went on record demanding that the Dominion government forthwith complete the construction of the Hudson Bay railway.Incidentally they failed to mention if they were ready to bear a share of the cost.Another legislative body passed a resolution demanding that Ottawa change its tariff system.In our own province there are those who demand that the principle of appeals in law suits to the Privy Council in London be abolished, and the recent decision in the Labrador case has added fuel to that fire.Down in the Maritimes they are demanding that the Dominion government give assistance in ways which were not contemplated by the Act of Confederation.At the other side of the continent British Columbia is asking that the National Railways absorb a \u201cwhite elephant\u2019 of a railway which the Province owns much to its regret.These are demands which have been made this winter; a long list could be compiled of the demands of one kind and another made during the past few years.Unfortunately the discussions concerning the division of rights between the Dominion and the nine provinces have been brought into party politics.Particularly is this true in respect to the Province of Ontario which has suddenly become very jealous of the actions of Ottawa.It may be that it is Me.Ferguson, a possible leader of the federal Conservative party, who is objecting and not Mr.Ferguson the Premier of Ontario.It is equally possible that were the Conservatives in power at Ottawa with Mr.Ferguson at their head, that the objectors would be the government of the Province of Quebec.Be the case what it may, the fact remains that there is disagreement, real or fancied, and the sooner the air is cleared the better.When this conference convenes there will be discussions ranging from provincial titles to the ownership of wild animals, but the real debates will be over two subjects: the influence that the Dominion government should exert over rights which are interprovincial in character and over the division of the money taken from Canadians in taxes.The chances are that the second will command more popular attention because this year the Dominion will collect around 400 millions and the provinces about 130 millions of dollars.For a country having less than ten million people 530 millions of dollars is quite a price to pay for public administration of affairs.Ît is of course quite true that around 160 millions go to pay interest on the funded debts of the governments, but here should be, nevertheless, an ample possibility of cutting out duplications of services which would make tax reductions possible.To do this no amendments to the B.N.A.Act would be necessary.The Dominion government pays out millions for services that are distinctly within the jurisdiction of the provinces, and during the war period the federal government went out of its way to assist local enterprises which have added millions to the burden of the federal taxpayers.The practice has also forced the Dominion into taxation fields which should have been left to the provinces.This paternal interest of the Dominion does not help the provincial governments, it merely makes them more dependent on federal aid.Take the province of Nova Scotia for an example.That province is now demanding that the subsidy paid to it by the Dominion be increased by $200,000 annually, and it will not be satisfied until it receives at least a million a year on the basis of its present population.Yet hundreds of villages along the coast line of Nova Scotia have breakwaters and wharves which have been built by the Dominion government, and it is quite possible that 95 per cent.of them never have a boat enter or leave which has anything to do with interprovincial trade.Tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of dollars are paid by Ottawa to little steamers which ply along the Scotian coast doing a purely local trade.Nova Scotia is a sea coast province and its principal.business has to do with shipping so the comparison is unfair when placing, let us say, Ontario opposite it, but the expenditure records will show that the Dominion government is called upon to pay in Ontario for services in connection with agriculture, urban industries, mines, forests, etc., which are equally local in scope.There is always waste when public monies are being spent, for economy, or desire for economy, only comes when we feel that our own particular tax contributions are been spent wastefully.Today the population of Ontario alone is probably equal to that of the Dominion when the grouping was completed in 1871.The wealth per capita and the annua gain- the in- gible to a complete recasting of the division \u2018of expenditures, and of the collections of revenues.If the provinces take over the public activities that properly belong to them, then upon to; give up held their worning und AAO LAN.ot wn to lb ist ~~ THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER __ some taxation sources\u2014the income tax for example.There would be several thousand employees on government pay rolls who could be released to the benefit of private industry and the taxpayers, not of one province, but of every province would benefit.HOWICK HOWICK

theve is any demand for serious cons\u2018itutivnal changes in Canada today, and in the second place if there were such a demand 1 submit to the House that the only procedure to be taken is that outlined by the Minister of Justice, through the instrumentality of a provincial conference.\u201d Mr.Woodsworth is n sincere reformer and says what he believes and in the ¢ourse of his speech he commented on the popular attitude among labour men towards the Senate, in part saving: \u201cRight across this country from veust to const there has been felt and expressed a decided resentment on account of the action of the Senate in regard lo that bill.We have been accustomed possibly to speak a little Lil slightingly of that body, as if it were composed of elderly men, themselves in receipt of a pension.On the other hand there have been those who saw in the Senate the champion and the safeguard of provincial rights.1.think there is another aspect from which we ought to view this matter, and that is that to no small extent the Senate is the champion and safeguard of what are commonly called the big interests,\u201d Mr.Garland: \u201cAs soon as the Liberal party gets through reforming the Senate it will be all right.Miss Macphail: For the Liberal party.Mr.Woodsworth: \u201cA few weeks go, in a little labour paper published in Toronto, Canada Forward, 1 find this statement.\u201d \u201cIn the Senate fifty members of that hody control and direct the economic life of Canada.That is to say that fifty senators are directors of 334 commercial and financial institutions.\u2019 \u201cI wrote to the editor of that paper asking him on what data he based his statement, and he was good enough to send me a list of the companies in which some of the senators were interested.The editor was Mr.James McA.Connor, of Toronto.It is possible that there may he some inaccuracy in this list.I am not refleet- ing on these hon.gentlemen in any way whatsoever, but 1 am suggesting that we have here a state of affairs which ought to be known to the pub-{ b lic generally throughout Canada: and whereas in this chamber we hear a great deal of criticism of the class groups\u2014hecanse a few farmers can get together it is said that they are indulging in a very reprehensible prac- tice\u2014and hecause a few labour people get together it is suggested that they are altogether a class group\u2014I would suggest that it is quite obvious that these gentlemen who are sitting in the Senate are also very distinctly a class group, and that ought to be clearly recognized.\u201d .Patronage.Public Works estimates are always the cause of political arguments and on Tuesday when these were called for the first time this year\u2014that is, the estimatis for the coming fiscal year\u2014 there was n sharp exchange of opinions, There were those in the Maritimes who look on everything from the purely patronage basis, and whose approach to all matters pertaining to expenditures on public works giving à fitting meaning to the American expression \u201cthe pork barrel.\u201d Most of the members from down by the sea, irrespective of political affiliations, look on the Dominion as legitimate prey when it comes to gettings grants, but the records of Parliament were not improved when the following exchange took place on the evening of Tuesday of last week: Mr.Ernest: In view of the fact that the Kensington, P.E.I, vote appears in the estimates I want to ask why the vote for Mahone hay was omitted and whether it will be inserted in the supplementary estimates.Mr.Duff: No, it will not.Mr.Ernst: The hon.member for Antigonish-Guysborough apparently docs not judge the people by their intelligence but by their ability to be purchased.Mr.Duff: I may say for the benefit of the committee and the Minister of Public Works that the people of Mahone bay instructed me to see that that money was not put in the supplementary estimates.! Mr.Ernest: Will the hon.member for Antigonish-Guysborough give me the names of the persons in\u201d Mahone bay who gave him that instruction?Before it is carried I should like an- answer from the Minister of Public Works.1 may say that I represent the electors of the constituency of Queens-T.unenburg until the next general election.Mr.Duff: You have not got the answer my question?1 should like an answer to my question as to whether this item was inadvertently omitted and whether it will appear in the supplementary estimate.Mr.Elliott: I cannot undertuke to say at this stuge what will appeur in the supplementary estimates.Mr.Gardiner: The hon.member for Antigonish-Guysborough has Just made the statement that he controls the patronage of a certain constituency, 1 think the Queens-Lunenburg constituency.Is it the policy of the government to permit that\u201d Is there any truth in the statement that a member representing a certain constituency can control the patronage in another con- Stituency?Is that correct?| think before we proceed any further we ought to have this matter cleared up.Mr, Kennedy: Are we to understand that estimates are prepared on the basis of how people voter If that jy the case we ought to know it now and it will guide our attitude in regard to other estimates.I know the plea is used at election time, but I sincerely hope that this government will not maintain that attitude with regard to publie works and the expenditure of public money.If that is the basis on Which fstimutes are made up, it is the ors Sor ivy of patronage we could pos- Mr.Dunning: .My hon.friend can find an answer to | his question or very page of the estimates now nds discussion.The vote which passed a little time ago, vote No.132, does not contain n single item for à constiutu- cney represented by a Liberal.Vote No 133, the one under discussion, is if my memory of locations in the marie time provinces is correct, the one item in three votes which is in a constity- ency represented by , gentleman who sits on this side of the House, Mr.Gardiner: That is no answer to the question I asked the minister The hon.member who represents An.tigonish-Guysborough stated very emphatically that he controls the patron- \u2018tke in the constituency of Queens- Lunenburg, The reply which the Minister of Railways has given is no answers to the question.Mr.Dunning: I was : answer not my | attempting to on.friend's i hut the question asked by his: colon, gue, Mr.Kennedy, which related to intisly different matter.Mr Gardiner: I apologize mistake, but I still To ms anomie Is it conrect that the hon.member for Antigonish-Guysborough controls the patronage in the contsituency of Queens Lunenburg?\u2018 Mr.Elliot: If my hon.pr go through these estimates ho poule ize the fact to which the Minister of Railways has Just called attention, that they show a fair regard for the re- Guirements of the particular place to which they relnte, irrespective of what the representation of the constituency may he in this House.The reports of the engineers and the other officers as toe actual necessities \u2014that is \u201cthe It so happens that Mr.feuted in the last rst, who by the way is a ; scholar.Friday night \u201cwhen the os mites came up again the far West came up to bat when Mr.Fraser of British Columbia took a crack at Quebec: \u201cMr, Chairman, 1 would direct the attention of the minister to another angle of this situation.I notice that the total expenditure for the province of Quebec this year is $685,027 while last year it was only $327,050.We are spending pretty nearly double in that province this year.Naturally, we come to the conclusion that the rest of the Dominion is entitled to an increased expenditure in the same ratio.In contrast to what is being done for Quebec, 1 turn to my own province of British Columbia, where I find that lust year the expenditure on public works was $216,760, and this year it is $243,262\u2014a slight increase, ut not at all in proportion to the increased expenditure in Quebec, 1 submit in all seriousness that the demand for public buildings in British Columbia is equally as imperative as in Quebec.It is quite true that the latter province is going ahead at a very nice rate, but it is also true that important developments are taking place in my province.It seems to me if that is the excuse for the increased expenditure in Quebec, British Columbia should have been given more consideration, Mr.Ross: For a couple of days I have been waiting the hear the minister give the reasons underlying these expenditures on public buildings.Revenue apparently has nothing to do with the expenditure, A member: Population.Mr.Ross: No, the only requirement seems to be a beautiful surrounding country.Will the minister state what factors enter into the granting of these public buildings?Mr.Elliott: My hon.friend will see that in Quebec the greater proportion of expenditure is in Conservative rid- ngs.Mr.Spence: Two wrongs don't make a right.If my party did wrong, that is no reason why yours should do wrong.Mr.Elliott: It answers my hon.friend's argument absolutely.Mr.Fraser referred to what he termed the increased expenditure for public buildings in Quebec over that voted last year, but he had overlooked the fact that the total of $635,027 includes 8100,000 for the Quebec citadel, 850,- 000 for a postal station in Outremont and $50,000 for reorganization of the Montreal general post office.Those three items make up the difference between last year\u2019s and this vear's expenditure.In answer to Mr.Ross, reports in from the departments, we study the information, and we select only the place where that information leads us to the conclusion that the expenditure is absolteuly required.Then by way of variety Mr.Neill of British Columbia, who is an independent, added this to the joys of the Minister of Public Works when the votes for British Columbia were reached: \u201c1 am not interested in the Trail post office; 1 am not interested even In a public building at Kimberley, but I am interested in the lack of public buildings in the district of Comox- Alberni.1 would like to call the attention of this committee, and more particularly of my Conservative Duff was de- election by Mr, patronage, I have got the patronage.Mr.Ernst: Will the hon.minister friends, to the fact that this vote com- the exception of the small sum of 85,- 000 for Kimberley the whole of that sum is for buildings in districts represented by Conservatives.Fxcept, I say, for that little vote of $5,000 for Kimberley, every one of the twelve votes is going to districts of hon.gentlemen opposite, one of whom has made so much complaint of how he and his Conservative friends in British Columbia have been treated.I hope the lesson will be taken to heart by them, and that when ! ask the Minister of Public Works for some few neg- gardly votes for odd wharves later on, hon.gentlemen opposite will remem- her this vote,\u201d Trade with West Indies.Thursday last n debate took place in connection with the West Indies steamship services.In 1925 à new agreement was made with the different island groups and under this agreement Canada agreed to provide a better steamship service.The islunds are to the Dominion is to pay the rest.Authority was asked to spend $10,000,000 for the new ships and the members got into a general argument over the building policy.Mr.Dunning who was in charge of the bill said that they could have them built in Germany cheaper than anywhere else, while if they were built in Englund the Government could suve n million, perhaps, as compared with Canadian prices.1 was suggested that four be built in Canada and the others in England which would permit a saving over the estimated Canadian prices, Some wunt- ed him to declare definitely for Canadian construction for all, but he disagreed: \u201cWe do not intend to say to the Canadian shipbuilders, \u201cHere, hoys, you are going to get this business.\u201d That is not our intention.It is not wood business, Mr.Arthurs: We are not asking you to say that.Mr.Dunning: We intend to gel prices from Canadian and British yards and on the basis of the tenders we receive we shall exercise our best business judgment as to what should be done, having due regard to the national interests as outlined by menbers on both sides of the House tonight.\u201d As to the cost of the service he estimated the annual loss would be $764,911 for the first year; by the time the fifth year arrived it would he $664,911, and by the tenth year $564,911.\u201cWe have endeavoured,\u201d suid Mr.Dunning, \u201cnot to be too rosy in that regard.We expect us « result of the operations of the treaty a considerable increase in trade, but we have endeavoured to be conservative in our figures because | fur one de nat want to come buck to this House in future and say, I

these caleulntions and said that it would cost the country at least two million dollars a year, In reply to this Mr.Malcolm, Minister of \u2018Trade and Commerce, took decided objection and said he was satisfied the estimates of the Minister of Railways could be considered as re- linble outside estimates.He added that since the Dominion Government had introduced the practice of paying subsidies for a West Indies service that the sum of $13,900,000 has heen paid cut and the Government of Canada had no assets to show for it.For that reason, if for no other, he favored the construction of hoats.The bill was given its first reading without dissent.ROBSON \u2018Miss Tweedie, President of the Montreal Presbyterial addressed the congregation in Knox Church on Sunday last.She gave a very

the night of the 16th-17th September\u2014a Thursday.| was sent for at eight o'clock on the morning of Friday the 17th.There was nothing to be done.She had been dead some hours.It was just a few minutes after nine when I reached home once more, 1 opened the fron: door with my latchkey, and purposely delayed a few moments in the hall, hanging up my hat and the light overcoat that I had deemed a wise precaution against the chill of an early autumn morning.To tell the truth, 1 was considerably upset and worried.I am not going to pretend that at that moment I foresaw the events of the next few weeks.| emphatically did not do so.But my instinct told me that there were stirring times ahead, From the dining-room on my left there came the rattle of tea-cups and the short, dry cough of my sister Caroline, \u2018Is that you, James?\u2019 she called An unnecessary question, since who else could it be?To tell the truth, it was precisely my sister Caroline who was the cause of my few minutes\u2019 delay.The motto of the mongoose family, so Mr.Kipling tells us, is: \u201cGo and find out.\u201d It Caroline ever adopts a crest, 1 should certainly suggest a mongoose rampant.One might omit the first part of the motto.Caroline can do any amount of finding out] by sitting placidly at home, 1 don't know how she manages it, but there it is.I suspect that the servants and the tradesmen constitute her Intelligence Corps.When she goes out, it is not to gather in information, but to spread it.At that too, she is amazingly expert.It was really this last named trait of hers which was causing me these pangs of indecision.Whatever | told Caroline now concerning the demise of Mrs, Ferrars would be common knowledge all over the village within the space of an hour and a half.As a professional man, I naturally aim at discretion.Therefore | have got into the habit of continually withholding all informiation possible from my sister.She usually finds out just the same, but I have the moral satisfaction of knowing that | am in no way to blame.Mrs, Ferrars\u2019 husband died just over a year ago, and Caroline has constantly asserted, without the least foundation for the assertion, that his wife poisoned him.She scorns my invariable rejoinder that Mr.Ferras died of acute gastritis, helped on by habitual over-indulgence in alcoholic beverages.The symptoms of gastritis and arsenical poisoning are not, I agree, unlike, but Caroline bases her accusation on quite different lines.\u201cYou've only got to look at her,\u201d i have heard her say.Mrs, Ferrars, though not in her first youth, was a very attractive woman, and her clothes, though simple, always seemed to fit her very well but all the same, lots of women buy their clothes in Paris and have pot, on that account, necessarily poisoned their husbands, As I stood hesitating in the hall, with all this passing through my mind, Caroline's voice came again, with a sharper note in it, \u201cWhat on earth are you doing out there, James?Why don't you come and yet your breakfast?\u2019 \u2018Just coming, my dear,\u201d I said hastily.\u201cI've been hanging up my overcoat.\u201d \u201cYou could have hung up half a dozen overcoats in this time.\u201d She was quite right.I could have.1 walked into the dining-room, gave Caroline the accustomed peck on the cheek, and sat down to eggs and bacon.The bacon was rather cold.\u2018 \u201cYou've had an early call,\u201d marked Caroline \u201cYes,\u201d 1 sald.\u201cKing's Paddock.Mrs, Ferrars.\u201d \u201cI know,\u201d said my sister.\u2018How did you know?\u201d \u2018\u2019Annie told me.\u201d Annie is the house parlormaid.À nice girl, but an inveterate talk er.There was a pause.J} continued to eat eggs and bacon.My sister's nose, which is long and thin, quivered a litde at the tip, as it always does when she is interested or excited over anything.\u201cWell?\u201d she demanded.\u201cA bad business.Nothing to be done.Must have died in her steep.\u201d \u201cI know,\u201d sald my sister again.This time I was annoyed, \u201cYou can't know,\u201d I snapped.\u201cI didn't know myself until I got there, and I haven\u2019t mentioned it to a soul yet.If that girl Annie knows, she must be a clairvoyant.\u201d \u201cIt wasn't Annie who told me.It was the milkman.He had it trom the Ferrars\u2019 cook.\u2019\u2019 As I say, there is no need for Caroline to go out to get informa- re- tion.She sits at home, and it comes to her.My sister continued: \u2018What did she die of?Heart failure?\u201d \u201cDidn't the milkman tell that?\u201d I inquired sarcastically.Sarcasm is wasted on Caroline\u2019 She takes it seriously and answers accordingly.\u201cHe didn't kpow,\u201d she explained.After all, Caroline was bound to hear sooner or later.She might as well hear from me, \u201cShe died of an overdose of ver- onal, She's been taking it lately for sleeplessness.Must have taken too much.\u201d you mediately.\u201c\u2018She took pose.Don't tell me!\u201d It is odd how, when you have a secret bellef of your own which you do not wish to acknowledge, the voicing of it by some one else will rouse you to a fury of denial 1 burst immediately into indignant speech.\u201cThere you go again,\u201d 1 said.\u201cRushing along without rhyme or reason.Why on earth should Mrs Ferrars wish to commit suicide?A widow, fairly young still, very well off, good health, and nothing to do but enjoy life.It's absurd.\u201d \u201cNot at all, Even you must have noticed how different she has been looking lately.It's been coming on for the last six months.She's looked positively nag-ridden.And you have just admitted that she hasn't been able to sleep.\u201d \u2018What is your diagnosis?\" 1 demanded coldly.\u201cAn unfortunate love affair, 1 suppose?\u201d My sister shook her head.\u201cRemorse,\u201d she sald, with great it on pur gusto, , \u201cRemorse?\u201d \u201cYes.You never would believe me when I told you she poisoned her husband.1'm more than ever convinced of it now.\u201d +] don't think you're very logic- \u201cSurely if a woman ,\u2019 objected.al,\u201d 1 ) like murder, committed a crime she'd be sufficiently cold-blooded to enjoy the fruits of it without any weak-minded sentimentality such as repentance.\u201d Caroline shook her head.\u201cThere probably are women like that-\u2014but Mrs, Ferrars wasn't one of them.She was a mass of nerves.An overmastering impulse drove her on to get rid of her husband because she was the sort of person who simply can\u2019t endure suffering of any kind, and there's no doubt that the wife of a man like Ashley Ferrars must have bad to suffer a good deal\u2014\u201d 1 nodded.\u201cAnd ever since she's been haunted by what she did.A can't belp feeling sorry for her.\u201d 1 don\u2019t tbink Caroline ever felt sorry for Mrs, Ferrars whilst she was alive.Now that she has gone where (presumably) Paris frocks can no longer be worn, Caroline prepared to indulge in the softer emotions of pity and gomprehen- sion.1 told her firmly that her whole idea was nonsense.| Was all the more firm because | secretly agreed with some part.at least, of what she had said.But it 18 all wrong that Caroline should arrive at the truth simply by a kind of inspired guesswork.1 wasn't going to encourage that sort of thing.She will go round the village airing her views, and every one will think that she is doing so on medical data supplied by me.Life Is very trying.\u201cNonsense,\u2019 said Caroline, in reply to my strictures.\u201cYou'll see.Ten to ome she's left a letter cou- essing everything.\u201d \u201cShe didn\u2019t leave a letter of any kind,\u201d 1 said sharply, and not seeing where the admission was going to land me.\u2018Oh!\u2019 said Caroline.\u2018So you did enquire about that.did you?1 believe, James, that in your heart of hearts, you think very much As I do.You're a precious old humbug.\u201d \u201cOne always has to take the possibility of suicide into consideration.\u201d I said repressively.\u201cWill there he an inquest?\u201d «There may be.It all depends.If 1 am able to declare myself absolutely satisfied that the overdose was taken accidentally, an inquest might be dispensed with.\u2018And are you absolutely satis- fled?\" asked my sister shrewdly.1 did not answer, but got from the table.CHAPIER Il Who's Who in King's Abbot Before 1 proceed further with what I said to Caroline and what Caroline said to me, it might be as well to give some idea of what 1! should describe as our local geog- up raphy.Our village, King's Abbot, is, I imagine, very much like any other village.Our big town is Cranchester, nine miles away.We have a large railway station, a small post office, and two rival \u201cGeneral Stores.\u201d Able bodied men are apt to leave the place early in life, but we are rich in unmarried ladies and retired military officers.Our hobbies and recreations can be summed up in the one word, \u2018\u2018gossip.\u201d Phere are only two houses of any importanee in King's Abbot.One is King's Paddock, left to Mrs.Ferrars by her late husband.The other, Fernly Park, is owned by Roger Ackroyd.Ackroyd has always interested me by being a man more impossibly like a country squire than any country squire could really be, He reminds one of the red-faced sportsmen who al- AUSTEN'S BARBER SHOP UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Having purchased the barber shop business of Mr.Leslie Austen | purpose being in Huntingdon on March 15th.to take pofsession of same.| wish to assure the general public that we will do our utmost at all times to please all old and new customers.\u2018\u2018Nonsense.\u201d\u201d said Caroline Im- ret rhs) atm rt n+ ARTHUR GORDON.RAED ime © nt ves an ee green.They usually sang a song about going up to London.Nowadays we have revues, and the country squire bas died out of musical fashion, Ot course, Ackroyd is not really a country squire.He is an Iim- mensely successful manufacturer of (I think) wagon wheels, He is a man of nearly fifty years of age rubicund of face and genial of manner.He is hand and glove with the vicar, subscribes liberally to parish funds (though rumor has it that he is extremely mean in personal expenditure), encourages cricket matches, Lads\u2019 Clubs, and Disabled Soldiers\u2019 Institutes.Lie is, in fact, the life and soul of our peaceful village of King\u2019s Abbot.Now when Roger Ackroyd was a lad of twenty-one, he fell in love with, and married, a beautiful woman some five or six years his senior.Her name was Paton, and she was a widow with one child.The history of the marriage was short and painful.To put it bluntly, Mrs, Ackroyd was a dipsomaniac.She succeeded in drinking herself into her grave four years after her marriage.In the years that followed, Ack- royd showed no disposition to make a second matrimonial adventure.His wife's child by her first marriage was only seven years old when his mother died.He is now twenty-five.Ackroyd has always regarded him as his own son, and has hreught him up accordingly, but he has been a wild lad and a continual source of worry and trouble to his stepfather, Nevertheless we are all very fond of Ralph Paton in King's Abbot.He is such a good-looking youngster for one thing, An | said before, we enough to gossip In our village.Everybody noticed from the first that Ackroyd and Mrs.Ferrars gol on very well together.After her husband\u2019s death, the intimagy became more marked.They were always seen about together, and it was freely conjectured that at the end of her period of mouring, Mrs.Ferrars would hecome Mrs.Roger Ackroyd, It was felt, indeed, that there was a certain fitness in the thing.Roger Ackroyd\u2019s wife had admittedly died of drink.Ashley Ferrars had been a drunkard for many years before his death.It was only fitting that these two victims of alcoholle excess should make up to each other for all that they had previously endured at the hands of their former spouses The Ferrars only came to live here just over a year ago, but a halo of gossip has surrounded Ack- royd for many years past, All the time that Ralph Paton was grow: ing up to manhood, a series of lady housekeepers presided over Ack- royd's establishment, and each in turn was regarded with lively suspicion by Caroline and her cronies.it is not too much to say that for at least fifteen years the whole village has confidently expected Ack royd to marry one of his house keepers.The last of them, a re doubtable lady called Miss Russell, has reigned undisputed for live years, twice us long as any of her predecessors.It is felt that but for the advent of Mrs.Ferrars, Ack- royd could hardly have escaped That\u2014and one other [actor-\u2014the unexpected arrival of a widowed sister-in-law with her daughter from Canada.Mrs, Cecil Ackroyd, widow of Ackroyd's ne'er-do-well younger hrother, has taken up her residence at Fernly Park, and has succeeded, according to Caroline, are ready in putting Miss Russell in her proper place.1 do not know exactly what a \u201cproper place\u201d constitutes\u2014it sounds chilly and unpleasant-\u2014but I know that Miss Russell goes about with pinched lips, and what I can only describe as an acid smile, and that she professes the utmost sympathy for \u2018poor Mrs.Ackroyd-\u2014dependent on the charity of her husband's brother.The bread of charity is so bitter, Is 1t not?I should be quite miserable if 1 did not work for my living.\u201d I don\u2019t know what Mrs, Cecil Ackroyd thought of the Ferrars affair when it came on the tapis.It was clearly to her advantage that Ackroyd should remain unmarried.that proves less than nothing Such have been our tions in King's Abbot for preoccupa- the last few years.We have discussed Ack- royd and his affairs from every standpoint.Mrs.Ferrars has fitted into her place in the scheme.Now there has been a rearrange- juent of the kaleidoscope.From a mild discussion of probably wedding presents, we have been jerked into the midst of tragedy.Revolving these and sundry other matters in my mind, 1 went mechanically on my round.| had no cases of special interest to attend, which was, perhaps, as well, for my thoughts returned again and again to the mystery of Mrs.Fer- rars's death.Had she taken her own life?Surely, if she had done 50, she would have left some word behind to say what she contemplated doing?Women, in my exper- fence, if they once reach the determination to commit sulede, usually wish to reveal the state of mind that led to the fatal action.They covet the limelight, When had I last seen her\u201d Not for over a week.Her manner then had been normal enough consider- ing\u2014well, considering everything.Then 1 suddenly

an improved railway service between Coteau Junction and Valleyfield was left in the hands of Mr.Batcheller.It appears that a train was taken off this line some time ago which makes the service between Ottawa and here not entirely satisfactory.A probable buyer for the grand stand belonging to the Board of Trade, which is on the Fair Grounds, asked the Board if the stand could be bought and at what price.This matter was left in the hands of the President.The secretary of the Board reported that he had received a large number of memberships for 1927 and that he still expetced to receive a great

THRIVING LIQUOR TRAFFIC In an article written by Dr.E.Hart, dealing with the Fourth An nual Report of the Quebec Liquor Commission, and published in the Montreal Witness, there appears the following two telling and naturally related statements.\u201cThe most prosperous institution in the Province of Quebec is the Quebec Liquor Commission.Every other institution, with possibly a few exceptions, reports that business has been bad for several years.\u201d Que- beckers have the general handicap of not being able to spend their money twice.And, if in its spending it buys mental, moral and physical incapacity, the purchasers are worse off than if they have no money to spend, Money spent for liquor not only acts negatively in failing to buy necessities and comforts, but, there is unfortunately, the positive side of its purchasing power to procure incapacity for produe- tion on the part of the wage earner, and this practically means that the money has been spent to buy misery, sorrow and actual want for the little family circle who cannot provide for themselves.\u2014Advt.COW TESTING ASSO.AD-; VANCED AT DAIRYMEN'S CONVENTION (Continued from Page 1) course be of a slower

next speaker and gave a brief and appropriate address to the boys in which he gave some good advice not only to boys but to older ones.He stated that quite a number of years ago he appeared on that platform for that first time, as a little lad, and spoke his first ditty.He presumed this was the beginning of his preparation for the future.He referred to the splendid opportunity of present day life in acquiring knowledge that would help them in their life work, He considered the older ones should give the young every assistance possible in this respect.No workman can do his best work without good tools, therefore, it was essential to see that the boys and girls were given the best tools and equipment in order that they might do their best work, at the public school.Nearly every boy has an idea of what he is going to be later in life.it may be to drive an auto, to build a home, or to operate a farm, all laudable in their way, but between the young boy and the accomplishment of his aim there were some steps.lt looks as if the present generation were maturing too soon as the boy of 12 knows as much about things today as the boy of 15 a few years ago.in the erection of a building it was neces- gary to build a good foundation and in the building of a life it was equally necessary.The building of a life was not the handling ot stone or brick, but hte acquiring of any knowledge that had for development traits of character which made for mastery of self and training for work.Education comes automatically.The young boy on the farm soon learns to drive a team of horses, he may mot have had many lessons, but it soon comes to him.The main thing for the boy to do was to master things as he went along, whether it be sport or lessons.Application to ones duties makes them efficient, Proficiency is gained not by ease but by application and practice and as we become proficient and are able to do things well there comes a great enjoyment in our work, Mr.J.A.LeClerc, district inspector of agronomists, of Laprair- ie, Que.who represented the Minister of Agriculture, then addressed the meeting.He expressed the regrets of Hon.J.E.Caron, FProv- incial Minister of Agriculture, that he was unable to be present owing to his parliamentary duties.Mr.Leclerc emphasized the value of good pure bred gires to improve the stock of the community.He stated that many good sires came from the Beauharnois strict and went out to Breeders\u2019 Clubs in different parts of the Province.He claimed that this Bull Loaning Policy had done much to improve the quality of COWS and increase the production.He considered there was a great opportunity for improvement of herds in the Province.Mr.Leclerc also announced that the T.B.free area was being extended to the Richelieu.Mr.April, agronomist for Chat- eauguay County, spoke highly of the work done by Mr.Carl Wheeler as supervisor of Cow Testing in the district and considered that this work could be considerably increased and he suggested that à Committee be appointed to work with Mr.Wheeler in this respect.Howick, Que.Dear Mr.Ness: I herewith tender ray resignation as Secretary of the above

turned and the East was now bringing horses from the West, During Lhe past ten years the auto had made great strides and had displaced a large percentage of the l.ght weight and carriage horses.\u2018lhe motor truck was displacing the heavy horse largely because it moved quicker than the borse.Many b.g concerus found it was cheaper to transport goods, especially short distances by horse, but although the auto service cost more It was quicker and was liked better by their customers.The light tractor was being used on the farm by motor power, yet the horse would still be required

motor power on the farm.lkarmers should plan to use big horses and so would greatly reduce the cost of than the cost of tractor operations At the present time they were short of high class breeding mares and horses and he thought this would today demanded a horse weighing 1600 lbs.of good quality and weil quirements.The udvantase to the farmer is that he can raise his own horses, use them for motor power on the farm and put them on the market at about five years of age.These horses will pay their way after three years of age and in fact will reduce the cost of raising.To the men who did not like horses he would not advise to breed them, it would pay them better to buy them.To the man who likes a good horse he considered that man would have a good advantage in raising horses.He considered a good brood mare was a great assel on any farm.One of the main factors in successful farm operat.ons was keeping the horses employed Secretary-Treasurer great regret that they accepted the

Federal Entomology Division was present and gave a splendid illustrated talk on the Corn Borer.He surprised many by stating that the corn borer had already heen found fn Huntingdon.Chateauguay, Beauharnois and other counties.but as yet it had done no appreciable harm.He advised the farmers to be on their guard as if the corn borer got a foothold iu this district they could say goodbye to the corn crop.He showed how the corn borer was unknowing ly brought into the Middle West States in broom corn some years ago.It had spread vapidly and infested several of the corn growing states of the Middle West.Several years ugo it had got into the corn belt in Ontario until now over 1200 square niles were infested He showed by lantern slides how the corn porer worked.The fly laid the eggs the latter part of June, and then quickly hatched out, grew into grubs one inch in length, worked in certre of corn stalk und In some cases as many as th rty or forty of the borers were found in the inside of a cornstalk.Ofttimes the infested fields never reached the tassel stage and before half grown the corn began to break down and soon became a broken down mass of dead foliage which was practically useless.If by chance the borer got into the plant before it was more advanced the corn cobs did not ear up and the crop became practically a dead failure.He advised the farmers «0 be very
