By a Bystander, in Saturda_\' Night Political prophets receive no more respect than other se rs who risk mrecztsts of coming events. But even in the case or the most notor- ous of all unce1'tainitic-s-horse racing--the guessing generally nar- irgws down pretty Close to the twin- ner just before the st:.r1er cries _:;0." The `provincial general elec- tion has reached the corresponding sttage when the time for nominations in nx-nr is over. As one who has followed the clash of parties since dissolution of the Assemubly. I now offer to pick the winner among the contending groups and name the l~`m'nie.rs sad- dles that will have other mounts af- ter election day. The most intelli- gent way to estimate the respe-ztive chances of the Conservative and Liberal parties is to discover in what .pi'o-portion these opponents niay gain '.b_\' the F:u`iners' losses. Qlni-Hntr in tho xvnst. in the Pen- 1003.1 , al1 lil)_\' tne rarxners was-.-,s. Starting in the west, in insula, the Faruiers should not be surprised by the loss of the two Essexs to the Liberals, who have been strengthened in that county by the prestige of the Federal Government; nor of the two Elgins, to the Conservatives, who have ac- ceptable candidates and good local organization. Illoreover the morale of the U.I`.O. in these four ridings has declined. South Nor-folk is also it likely win for the Conser\'ati\'es and for similar reasons; but the Farmers expect to hold North Nor- folk and Haldimand. South Went- worth is a probable loss falling over to either of the other parties, Ibe- cause (Labor), the Government en- try. is but a busted Solon in the eyes of his admirers of four years ago. Hon. Harry Nixon, -most like- a;ble of Mr. Drury s Cabinet Minis- ters, may hold Brant; but U.F.O;W (1iStI`e,5_`-6 l_2`I11iS are out in South O.\'t'or(l. where the Conservatives have pulled the supports utrom un- tier the l armer plat.l`orin.

One of `the numerous methods employed `by the Drury Govei-nment for the purpose of spending the money of the people is in the pur- chase ol` zu1`to1no`ibiles. Look at the record!

The suffering and loss caused by forest res are common knowledge and,. yet, carelessness with re in the forest con- tinues. These forest res are practically all preventable. GM Yam? Qothes Every individual who steps inside the woods should remember he is in the midst of highly inammable property, for the upper layer of ground in the forest consists of partially rotted wood, which will burn. Lack of consideration for this gave rise to the strenuous situation in Ontario the last week of May and the anxiety for days in some settlements. Thoughtlessness or bad judgment or care- lessness cause practically all forest res. Your co-operation, as a citizen, is needed to prevent these res by taking the same care in the woods as in your own home. maa Cleaned Elgves Cleaned `V0 do eVe1'ythi11g in the line of Cleaning and Dyeing.
