Not a Motor-boat Ditch, The Canadian Courier predicts that the Newmarket canal will some day be completed by a Conservative gov- ernment, because there will be a de- mand for the exenditure of public money in North York, and engineers will be sent up to recommend that the canal be completed. The Courier calls the canal a motor-boat ditch, and re- fers to the Trent canal as a motor-boat ditch, apparently having never seen or heard of Mackenzie’s yacht, the 'VVawinet, or the Wacouta, or the Stony Lake, or the Esturion, or the numerous other steamboats that ply these magnificent lakes and rivers. But why not build motor-boat ditches? Public money is quite properly spent on remote back country roads for the convenience of isolated settlers. Why not expend some on waterways for motor-boats for the large and rapidly increasing number of people who. wish to utilize that method of travelling? If Doctors Turned Politicians. From the Grain Growers' Guide. About eight ’ thousand doctors reâ€" cently gathered in London to discuss how to make life longer and death easier. In this convention the doctors engaged in earnest, practical and friendly discussion as to the best means of combating man’s various en- emies, so that life may be not only ’ lengthened, but freed from many pres- ent-day handicaps and brightened all along the way. When will the doctors learn from the politicians how to run things. Politicians would tell them that the first necessity would be split- ting up the doctors into two rival camps, or parties. There need be no real dili‘orence in belief. 'The import: ant thing is to get two different names, so that everyone might be labelled. “Blinks” and “Blanks” would do as Well for party names as any others. The doctors would now be ready for their convention. \Vhenever a doctor of the Blink party spoke all the Blinks but pay attention. Most of them would leave the hall, some would start writing letters, others would read the newspapers or talk to each other. A very few would listen to their “ oppo- nent,” and they would look as bored as a motorist watching a wheelbarrow race. 'VVhenever any vote was to be taken, however, the Blink whips and the Blank whips would scurry around town to line up all their members to “save the party.” Party loyalty and party honor would demand that every doctor vote according to his side; but the party loyalty and the party honor would not requtre him to know what he was voting for or against. Every- thing would be settled by a party vote. Sometimes a question of “ vital import- ance to the country” would arise, such as “How long should a man wear his hair?” TheBlinks and the Blanks would have to fight it out, perhaps by obstruction. The country would be called upon to admire our worthy medical men “fighting the people’s battle.” Perhaps the chief pointer our politicians would give the doctors would be the absurdity of bothering about the people’s welfare at allâ€"ex- cept in speeches. The important thing was to look after “number one,” and line one’s pockets while hoodwinking the people with party politics. How much business would the doctors’ con- vention do, or what good would doc- tors be at any time, it the microbe of party politics got into them. Fenelon Fair. The annual fall fair of the Fenelon Agricultural Society. held on Wednes- day and Thursday last, was considerably . V respect. I There was an, increase of more than] twenty-five per cent. in the number ofI - exhibitors this year over last year. and . a-corrcsponding increase in the number of entriefigsrsrivm‘alj new names . were added to-thcllst of’tiiembcrs recently, which helped to bring about thcim. a would applaud and thump their desks, and all the Blanks would do anything _., w..,....,......_...e. mwâ€"m-wwâ€"«wm New“ Wm.- kc l provement, and the weather on the fair dates could not have been better. The competition in horses. both light and heavy, grows kcener each year, and the classes were nearly all well filled at this season’s Show. The same is true of cattle. Sheep and pigs, however. apv pear to be lacking, the dilliculty of handling and conveying them being perhaps the chief reason for small num- ber of entries. There was a good display of, poultry. Mr. D. C. Trew, the judge, strongly urged the olileials of the society to have birds shown singly instead of in pairs in future, so that exhibitors and spectators may know which birds are the good ones, and why. The indoors departments were up to the standard of other years. Notwith~ standing'tho dry season there was a very creditable display of the products of the soil. Ladies’ work and fine arts show a steady improvement in quality. The free-for-all speeding event was won by Thos. Poulsom's pacer, Gold 0, in three straights, with Chas. O‘Neill's Waltpr Simmons. of Lindsay, secondmnd Geo. Barry’s Guilford Boy, of Minden, third. The entertainment in the evening was well attended. Lily Lorrell Howard, singing comedienne, and Mr. Robt. Clarke, ventriloquist, of Toronto, pre- sented a first~class nrogamme, ably as- sisted by the orchestra. Mrs. Howard's selections were given in a very pleasing manner, and she responded to frequent encores. Mr. Clarke sustained his high reputation‘as a ventriloquist, his Punch and Judy show and Family of blockheads being extremely amusing. ' Bad Fire at Bobcaygeon. On Sunday morning last the village of Bobcaygeon was visited by another (lis- astrons fire, the worst of the six or seven that have occurred there inside the last year. ,The blaze broke out about six o'clock in Thurston's harness shop, and was first seen by ~a. woman who .had been up all night with a neigh- bor who was ill. h‘ive places of business and the lodge room of the Freemasons were totally destroyed, the business places being those of E. J. Broad, bake shop, and restaurant, .19. J. Woolard, druggist, Bank of British North America, Thurston’s harness shop and Burdeau’s barber shop. Mr. Bardeau lives over his shop, and he and his wife and- family had to make a hurried exit. saving The fire engine was found to be in poor running order when it was started up, but the flour mill pump was in better shape and did good service. Several other buildings were in serious danger, and were only saved by hard work on the part of the citizens. The bulk of Mr. Broad's stock of goods was saved, Mr. 'Woolard lost more than half of his stock, and Messrs. Thurston and Bar- deau lost everything. The total damage is estimated at $17,000, insurance $6,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. An investigation is talked ol'. ___.0. Walkerâ€"Puley.’ The first wedding in Acadia'Yalley, Alta., was solemnized at~the home of Mr. Henry Puley, at one p. m. on VVed- nesday, August 20th, 1913, when his second daughter, Lilian Maud, was united in matrimony ,to Mr. Leonard Corneil Walker, eldest son of Mr. Isaac Walker, postmaster of Alsask, Sask. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. H. Tinkess of Alsask in the presence of the immediate relatives of the young couple. The bride‘s dress was of grey silk with yoke allover lace and Bulgarian trimmings. Master Edwin Paley, the little nephew of the bride, carried the | ring and was the only attendant of the bridal couple. After the ceremony dainty luncheon was served. In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Walker left. amid showers of confetti, for their home near Alsask. c-0- Father Galvin Principal of Peterboro High School. Rev. Father Galvin has been transfer- red from the parish of Galway, Bobcay- geon and Fenelon Falls. to take the position of Principal of the Peterborough Separate High School. Father Galvin was deservedly popular while here. and his departure. is much regretted. A permanent successor has not yet been appointed. Rev. Father Cote conducted the services and the funeral service of the late Daniel Dnggan on Sunday last. a- M. S. Crusade to be Held. A very instructive and interesting meeting of the \V. M. S. was held at the home of Mrs. Dr. Gould on Tuesday last. It was decided to have a crusade in the interests of the work of the Society in the near future; also an open meeting in the Methodist Church on Thursday evening, Sept. 25th, at which a report of the recent convention will be read by Miss Margaret Jordan. At the close of the meeting tea was served and a social hour spent. 0-. Fenelon Council. Members met pursuant to motion of previous meeting.

'â€" The North Bay News says: There is a tall dark man in our village who braced up after several years of riotous living, and the Northern Lights are gradually fading out of his nose, while his breath complies with all sanitary laws. Being a. man of unusual ability, he is earnings. fat salary, and a gond many people won- der why he lives frugally, and wears raiment that is almost seedy. Some suppose that he is salting down large quantities of dollars in the cellar, but he isn't. Being asked the other day, what he was doing with all his money, he replied ; “1 am paying for dead horses. I am so unhappin constituted that I can't enjoy life when I owe money, and while 1 was in the red paint department I was a great success as a progressive debtor. I usually paid cash for my - drinks. as the barkeopcr had a prejudice against the credit system, and I went into debt for food and clothes and other luxuries of that nature. I am paying for meal tickets that were punched out eight years ago, and for suits of hand»mc downs which went to the fathers of the present generation of pawn brokers. I am also paying livery bills, for the use of driving horses that died of old age long ago, and the other day I paid for a watch that [gave to a girl whose child- ren are now going to High school. Next to having a million dollar thirst there is no greater handicap than such a con- science as mine." â€"â€"4 * ...__..__.__._. PerSOnal.

The exhibit of grain, roots and veget- ables at Kinmount fair on Tuesday last was an cil‘cctivc contradiction of the reports, circulated further south, that everything in the north country \vas burned up this year. There were a good number of very nice samples shown in all these departments. There were a lot of good entries in dairy products, , and a pleasing display of ladies' work. Live stock was well represented, horses ‘ being the most numerous. The attend- ance was slightly in advance of last year. Quite a number went up on the special from Lindsay and the Falls and other points. The free for all trot or pace was won by Bob Dillard, owned by W. A. Fann~ ing. of Lindsay, 'I‘hos. Poulsom's Goldie, ol’ Fenelon Falls, pushing him close in all heat-s, Barry's Guill'ord Boy third. o..-â€" _...s_ Salvation Army Harvest Festival.

While trolling in Cameron Lake on Saturday Mrs. Arthur Townley hooked a. maskinongo, which Mr. Townley land~ ed safely into the boat after an exciting struggle. The lungs tipped the scales at 18 lbs. and was one of the finest caught this season. CORRECTION. In the account of the death of the late Daniel Duggan in the Gazette last week, it was stated that amputation of the broken leg was considered necessary. This was an error, as the operation he underwent was for strengthening the ‘ injured member. Mr. Duggan lived for two or three hours after coming from ' under the influence of tlr- chloroform, and his (loath is supposch to be due to a clot of blood reaching his heart. WANTED.
