KING AND GRERAR I TO AMALGAMATE :7, H i S The women of Canada have done much in the last `few years in mak- ing rural li-fe more attractive, and this has been an incentive to better methods of fanming. The women are the home makers, and if the home is not what it ought to be there is sure_ to be discontent and less interest taken in the farm. Many a Woman who had become dis-. couraged and i-ooked upon her work as mere drudgery has, through the women s organizations, been led to see life in a different way. When she finds herself working along with other women in securing bet- ter conditions in the community her interest is awakened, and her own work rbecomes elevated and trans- guvred in her mind. Women in the rural districts are doing much in creating a co-mnmunity spirit. Among the problems being taken up by the women s organizations in rural dis- tricts are: (1) To procure sanitary school equipment; (2) To establish a hot and nvholesome noon luncheon; (3) To have meduical inspection of schools; (4) To estalblish rest rooms for the community; (>5) To under- take the establishment of commun- ity halls for the use of the people; (6) To start or procure libraries for 3 the public use; (7) To procure nursing help for the district; (8) To establish co.ttage hospitals and main- : tain them; (9) To hold fairs of dif- ferent kinds; (10-.) To have child welfare exhibits and instructions; (11) To assist the less fortunate; (12) To co-operate with and assist other organizations in any good work; (13) Best and greatest oil` all, to oreate a better and healthier com- -munity spirit, and to minimize the spirit -of hatred, prejudice, and in- tolerance of different kinds that so often is found in communities.

During the session as a party they played the government game; burt now they would be with the spoilers partici- pating in the patronage feast rather than to continue outside and not share in the fruits of office.

BUILDERS SUPPLIES SIX HLXVDRED IN FINES when Ll. announces . Mr. Creuar s quite obvious de sire to link the Progressives up with the Liberals, and Premier Drury s frank declaration in favor of some- thing like fusion in Ontario, shonv very pluainly how Profzressive party polrl-tics is tending. The political leaders. belzieve sincerely that they can best serve by being in office. They are no different from other party leaders in this belief. But see- ing no immedsiate prospect of attain- ing ofce by the uphill path of edu- cating an independent Progressive opinion in the country, suiciently strong, to elect the Progressives to power, the easiest way would natur- alzly seem to be to make an alliance with the Liberals. The Citizen is scarcely complimen- tary to its Progressive associates when it confesses thant the objective of host of them was and is to get into office. It speaks of the evi- dent desire of some Progressive members to form pant of the Lib- eral ad-1n~inistrat1ion. The desire was fully displayed by the servinliity of Mr. Crerar to Mr. King and the public demovnstratlion by the Pro- gressive party that they were in Ottawa -to protect the L'ibera.ls rather than ght for the Farmers plat- form. How easy the capture of the` Progressives by the Liberals was is further illustrated by their Ottawa organ: Another session of the glamor of Ottawa and the Libenals seem likely to have the sittlatiion en`tirel_v in their own hands. They need make no speciml overtures. IVY CENTRE Pass GIVE US ONE TRIAL .Thornton .....I\'_v ..8 Essa .Tho1`mon . 9 Innisl I ....Ho11y` I . . . . . . Ivy . . . . . . Ivy .Th0I`n[0u Tlnllu .

Ontario had one at Owen Sound last year. There is also one at Collingwood and we understand that both Orillia and Aurora are prepar1n:.: to cater to auto-tourists this summer. There is no better method by which to see and study our country than motoring and we are certain that as this kind of va- czition grows in popularity the num- ber of camping grounds will also in- (`re-.150.-w Guardian. The Winnipeg Tribune estimates that the West ought to have $359,- 000,000 bushels of wheat this year. This is putting it at a ten~yeanr aver- age of 17 bushels to the acre. With the first of August less than two -Weeks away the sa`l'ety of the pres- ent crop seems almost assured. The June and July rains were timely and the West is pulsating with optimism again. The price of Octo- ber wheat on July 10th, 1915, was $1.03`,{. On the same date this year it was $1.16.}. The producers have the advantage this year of pre-wa1~ rail rates to the head of the lakes, and of lower ocean rates. If even slightly less than a dollar a bushel net is obtained by the producer the wheat crop alone ought to bring a third of a billion dollars into the West. The main business oi? the J\Vest this year will be the liquida- tion of old accounts carried forward Iifroin the last two or three years of I poor or unprotable crops. But that I release will, in furnishing cash in- stead of paper. enable the stocking up of depleted stores. Business may not reach any boom conditions, but the West will be in a position to. pay her way. WESTERN CROPS GOOD F. P.

Premier Drury lis a Liberal partisan; Hon. T. A. Crerar is a.

Such a frank confession of the Progressive objective was not at all necessary to enlighten the pwblsic as their course in Parliament had clear- ly demonstliated that their Liberall- ism dominvaxted their independence. They gave the government immunity from every pledge, and put the seal of alpprobtation on the most fl-a- grant repuidxi-ant.i*on of promises and principles. When the government was in danger of defeat through failure to imp-lemenut iets tariff pledges, mine Progressives came to their rescue. These men were care- fully selected and in every instance it was found Uhat they had defeated Coniservatxives with the aid of the Liberals of their constituencies at the last election. They were select- ed, therefore, that they might re- compense the Liberalls for their aid at the last election and -to prepare the way to be the can-diida.tes of the two groups at the 11e.\1t contest. A- u...` `r1`:`s:..-... \v.. r-1..--.. ...... c.....,.. .... V..- ........... vv....v.,~. As the `Citizen says, .Mr. Creuar - desires to enter the Litbeml govern- ment. He did so last January and came to Otztalwa. for that purpose. He is a Liberal bigot, much more so -than Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, and is inifatuated wi-th Ottawa. and the glamor of pU`_b1 lxC office. In fact he treated his suspporters towards the end of the session as if they were in a lower social sphere. While they resented this, tihey lacked courage to risk barmishmenit and possible loss of their seats and were herded like ignorant voters. Mr. Crerar has re- mained east since the elections negoti-a'ting Wlith the Liberals. He fears to return to Manitoba. uvnvtil . the election is over. He admits that he cannot take the part of the Pro- gressives against the Libemrlus especially in h-is own constituency where the Liberal oandiidate is a personal and political friend and the Progressive is not. The game that fooled the farmens is completely ex- posed. In Ontario there is to be a Progress1v&Libena.1 party under Hon. E. C. Drury, a. Liberal partisan; in Ottawa a. Liberal-Progressive pe-.1r.t,)'. under Hvon. W. L. Mackenzie King and Hon. T. A. Crerar, Li-beral paruisans. Amer the election the n-an1e Pnogressive will be forgot- ten in the dam-innaxtion of the machine Liberals.
