Taft Nol lnfallible. Why should President Taft's opinion that reciprocity would have made Can- ada. " an adjunct of the United States ” - . be taken as conclusive of the whole l v matter? The Tory papers that are parading the President's utterance as an unanswerable clincher do not seem to have a symptom of a shadow of a doubt that he can be anything but absolutely truthful and sincere in his remarks on this subject. Such a suggestion would shock them. _Yet they repeatedly de- scribe his reciprocity ofier as “ a trap " to catch unwary Canadians, and do not appear to perceive any inconsistency in their position. . The Conservative papers are equally unconcerned as to thepossibility of _Taft's judgment. being at fault in his estimate of the effect of reciprocity, supposing his sincerity to be taken for granted. Another shock would be the result of suggesting to them that the . President might be mistaken. Yet the World describes theAmericans as “ the blindest people politically in the world to-day.” The attitude of the Conservative press with regard to President Taft and his opinion is as unreasoning and contradic- tory and illogical as their whole anti-reciprocity campaign.

(to-Operative _ Poialo Growing. _â€" Canadian Farm. . They have adopteda plan in Wisconsin in potato growing that might be follow- ed in Ontario to advantage. Through the effect-of the experiment station of that state farmers in a district are organ- ized and agree to grow only the one variety .of potatoes, a variety being selected suitable to local conditions. This has the advantage of making the potato product of that district uniform, and a better marketable article. 5 I NEED A mm: ?‘ : .‘é - ' - The ‘.. i great advantageof such'a plan can be ._ i i _ ' ' readily understood.

If, on the other hand these _y, i ten farmers each grow a difierent var- iety the supply in the district would be mixed, there would be lack of uniformity, which would lessen the value of the whole output. And that is exactly what happens in Ontario. There is no cooperation in potato growing among ‘ farmers. Each farmer in a district has his own little patch, which he plants to a variety he selects for himself. The consequence is that while there are a great many potatoes grown {in the pro- vrnce, too many varieties are produced - in a locality, and it is practically impos- snble to getva car load of one variety or of uniform quality. If Ontario farmers, and in fact farmers in any other part of Canada, who grow potatoes for sale would co-operate, select some one var- iety suitable to the district, and each one grow that kind, they would be able to market their output to better advant- age and at a higher price.

A railway proposition is before the Huntsville Board of Trade. It is a scheme to connect a projected line from Lindsay to Minden with the Georgian Bay, touching Huntsville and Dorset. A charter is 'now in force for a line start- ing at Lindsay and continuing north- ward, through a well settled section west of Balsam lake, crossing the G. TR. at Kirkfleld, and through the Gull river valley to Minden. This distance is ap- proximately 55 miles. The proposal is either to extend this charter covering the route from Minden to Dorset, and thence westward through Huntsville, and continuing to the head of Lake Jo- seph and probably connecting with a point on Georgian Bay. This extenson is approximately 100 miles. Whether this extension will be undertaken under a continuance of the existing charter, or a new charter applied for, is not yet a settled matter. The railway would, if constructed as at present proposed, connect at Lindsay with practically all the competing lines of railway, for it may become an import- ant through connection between Georg- ian Bay and the seaboard. The route through-which it would passis rich in an abundance of timber and minerals, and traverses one of the greatest tour- ist regions of Canada, a region much of which stands undeveloped to-day be- cause of its inaccessibility, except by broken stretches of water communica- the paint that will give your house the best possible protection and put off the need of repainting for- the longest possible time.

Shockin’gly Sudden Death. _â€" Bobcaygcon Independent. The village was shocked on Tuesday to hear of the death of Mr. James H. Thompson of the Rockland House. Until nine o’clock in the morning-he was apparently in his usual health, and was working around. He was preparing for some 'out door work, and had har- nessad the herse, when he was reminded that a plank was required near the kitchen. He carried the plank and had just placed it in position, when he com- plained of a terrible pain and sat down. The pain increased and the chest and body seemed to be under the most violent compression, medical assistance was call- ed and Mr'. Thompson was carried to his Came, A“ for bed suffering an agony of pain. injection of morphine relieved him, and he slept until shortly before one. In re- ply to a question he said he was easier but a fewvminutes later he was observed to flinch and with a few short breath he was dead. Mr. Thompson displayed great enter- prise in building the new Rockland Hotel and fitting it‘ with a hot water heating system, bath room, electric light. and forward hopefully to the business of this season recouping him to some extent on his heavy outlay.

Friends came from Haliburton, Minden, Lindsay Peter- borough and Toronto. Mr. Thompson leaves a wife and one daughter, to whom is given the sympathy sudden affliction. u'W‘ ‘ “Temple of Fame.”â€" /.

It is indeed a blessed thing, that lots of words will rhyme with Spring : there’s Tuesday, wing and king and sing and bring and flfty~seven more, by jing. And when we ’ve written “ sunlit lens,” we have our choice of trees and bees and breeze and sneeze and fleas and cheese, and sundry other words like these. And when we speak of “azure skies,” we have a stock of flies and pies and stys and sighs and maidcn's eyesâ€"oh watch the sweet afliatus rise. There are so many words that rhyme the poet has an easy time; there's clime and thyme and crime and prime, and now and then per- haps a dime i Of course we ring in bab~ bling streams, which brings us round to twilight dreams, and then, as inSpiration streams, we reach for themes and seems and beams. _We must refer to sighng woods if we ’d deliver all the goods ; and this leads up to noble pines, suggesting. vines and twines and shines.

The electric lights at Midland went out while two doctors were performing an operation for appendicitis.

The patient's life was in their hands, and owing to the ether in use a lamp was out of the question, so there was nothing to do but wait.
