In fact, even to the hardâ€"boiled citizens of Arnprior, Pembroke and Eganville this condition of things in the homeé of the Rotarians is truly shocking. One of the visitors from Kirkland Lake was A.

HMHenry Likens Mr. Hepâ€" burn to a Preacher in a Church Prociaiming a Crsed trom a Textbook on Atheism. From the Ontario Legislative Buildâ€" ings correspondent ‘The Advance has received the following review of thc Legislature last week:â€" Déencuncing M. F. Hepburn, Provinâ€" c‘al Liberal Leader, as being unworthy of credence, Premier George S. Henry in the Ontario Legislature in the deâ€" bate on the Spsech from the Throne, chargzed the Liberal Leader wi‘h antiâ€" public ownership affliations, and deâ€" manded that the Liberals sitting in the House should recall Mr. Hepburn and drive him from the party. Premier Henry produced evidence to show that Mr. Hepburn in his many attacks on the Ontario Hydro Power Commission and its administration had founded his argument upon an antiâ€" public ownership sheet published in Chicago, terming the publication: "Chiâ€" cago‘s contribution to Mr. Hepburn‘s campaign fund." Premier Henry also likened Mr. Hepburn to a preacher in the pulpit of a church "proclaiming a creed from a textbocsk on atheism." In making this starliing disclosure, Premier Henry read from newspapetr accounts of the Herfourn attacks upon Hydro. The Hepburn language coinâ€" cided directly with the matasrial conâ€" tained in the Chicago publication which is termed "for the use of disinterested citizens, taxpayers and other organâ€" izations believing in the efficiency of private ownership and opposed to pubâ€" lic ownership." â€"It further declares that "in case of a thoroughzoing antiâ€"muniâ€" ciplal ownership advertising campaign, you will find this information indisâ€" pensible." Comparing the pamphlet with the Hepburn attacks, Premier Henry furâ€" ther pointed out that in connection with the Chippewa development, the pamplhâ€" let had said it had cost $150,000,000, but the actual cost according to the government figures was $76,000,000. Mr. Hepburn had used the pamphilet‘s figure of $150,000,000. Other phases of power development were also discussed showing the pamphlet wrong in deâ€" tail and fact and which had been used by Mr. Hepburn. Premier Henry chalâ€" lenged the Opposition members with following a man, not a member of the House, who follows this Chicago pubâ€" lication for his arguments against Pubâ€" lic ownership. "If the Liberal party has any sense of responsibility they should recall him and drive him out as heretic,." said Premier Henry. "He is unworthy to be leader. He is unworthy of creâ€" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO dence. H: is unworthy to be associatec with such great leaders as Blake, Moâ€" watt, Hardy, Ross, McKay, Rowell and cthers including my honourable friend now leading the party in the House. The Opposition are all flirting around with him and sitting on the same platâ€" form while he issues this document. Are they behind Hydro or behind this sheet published in Chicagoâ€"with lying, foul, disreputable statements in all its pages?" Liberal members were each asked by Premier Henry as to how they stand on the Hepburn Leadership, but each in turn doedged the issue without saying whether they supported the Liberal provincial leader or not, satisfied to be nonâ€"committal. Premier Henry moved an amendment to that introduced by W. E. N. Sinclair Ormosition Leader, which places the Liberals in the position of voting "for," or ‘"‘against" Hydro, It pledges the Legislature anew to Hydro and to the principle of service at cost, also pledgâ€" ing support to the efficient service renâ€" dered by the commission. The debate on the Spsech continued with ten speakers adding to the disâ€" cussion on Hydro. Wilfrid Heighingâ€" ton, St. David‘s Toronto, one of the youngest members of the Conservative benches, made a slashing attack uptor those who criticize Hydro, and urging the government to maintain its stand upon «declining ito enquire into the $125,000 Airdâ€"Sweezey payment on the Beauharnois contract. Others who spoke were: Austin Smith, Essex; W. W. Staples, South Victoria; Fred J. McArthur, Northumberland; J. F. Strickland, Peterboro City, and for the Liberals Dr. L. J. Simpson, Simcoe Centre; J. F. Sangster, Glengarry; T. A. Murray, Renfrew North and â€"R. A. Baxter, South Oxford. "Khe mortgage relief measure, introâ€" duced by Hon. W. H.

It is planned to change the form of applications that are to be made in the County of York, where they can be made to the Masterâ€" inâ€"Chambers, instead of before a counâ€" ty judge. It is hoped the act will be in force within the next two weeks, and will probably date back to Feb. 2. In furthering the future road proâ€" gramme for the province, Premier Henâ€" ry and Hon.

Out of the trials of the present day, Premier Henry informâ€" ed@ the county officials, will come a saner policy in regard to road construcâ€" tion, but hz was pleased to know that municiprlilities are not cutting down their road expenditures to an unreaâ€" sonable degree, for if this were done it would only add to unemployment.

Arthur Ellis, Conservative, South Otâ€" tawa, introduced an amendment to the Railway and Municipal Act, which would vest in the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board all powers to control and direct motor transportation sysâ€" tems in the province. The measure dses not interfere with municipal auâ€" therity within their boundaries. The bill amending the Apyrenticeâ€" ship Act, sponsored by Hon. J. D.

Ottawa Impressed by Ontario Lignite Fue!l from the North Land has Been Successfully Tested by the Departâ€" ment of Mines Branch at Otâ€" tawa. A Canadian Press despatch from Otâ€" tawa, Ont., on Friday last says:â€" "Regarded by depurtmental experts as technically successful, briquetting tests on a char made from a carlot of Northern Ontario coal from the Okanâ€" awana deposits have been conducted at the fuelâ€"testing laboratories of the Mines Branch here.. This is the first of two shipments of lignite received by the Dopurtment of Mines for testing purposes. It is understocd to be repreâ€" sentative of the quality of lignite to be expected in openâ€"cut mining, where overburden is lightest. A statement given out Friday evening by the department says: "Generally, the tests indicate that a char can be made from Okanawana lignite which will produce briquettes approaching in quality those made from Pennsylvania anthracite. The briquettes already made, however, are appreciably higher in ash content than anthracite and domestic coke now on the market. Carbonization of selected lignite of the quality mined at Onakaâ€" wana in more recent developments is expected to produce a char with less ash than that already briquetted at the laboratories. "Burning tests will be carried out on the briquettes that have been made, for the purpose of determining their efficiency in ordinary domestic furnâ€" aces. Further briquetting tests are also contemprilated on material now on hand. The department‘s laboratories are proâ€" vided with excellent facilities to carry out these various tests." A whist drive and social, under the auspices of the Cornish Social Club, will be held in the Hollinger Recreation hall on Tuesday evening of next week, March Sth, commencing at 8 p.m. There will be four good prizes for the whist drive. A nominal fee will be charged for nonâ€"members, while memâ€" bers will be free Members are asked to kindly bring refreshments. Corâ€" nish Social Club events are always pleasant and attractive and the club has shown a particular talent in preâ€" senting events like this whist drive and social, so all may confidently look for a very enjoyable evening. WHIST DRIVE AND SOCIAL BY CORNISH SOCIAL CLUB ADVISES INCREASE IX GROWING OF ALFALFA NOW A note sent out by the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Agriculture last week sugâ€" gests an increase in the growing of alfalfa. The note does not stop at urging the growing of alfalfa but goes on to show the benefits arising from such Financial Post:â€"Whas is country needs is not a good fiveâ€"cent cigar, but a good prober! .On picking up the morning paper the other day, we disâ€" covered that the front page was largely devoted to announcing that probes were going to be conducted into this and that. It seemed that the time of our lawâ€"givers would be given over too much to probing and not enough time devoted to passing new laws which in years to come might prevent more probes. In these days of economy and efficiency, therefore, the thought apâ€" peals to us that it would be a splendid move for the government to appoint an official "piober," one who would be able to devote all his time to probing and leave our legislators to the more useful, but less exciting work of creatâ€" ing new laws. In this immediate district little alfâ€" alfa is grown. Clover seems to be the favourite, and to give the most successâ€" ful results One or two farmers (beg pardon! settlers!) in this district spoken to this week in regard to the matter say that they have tried growing alfâ€" alfa but have not met with very notable success. Clover is always sure to be a gsod crop, but alfalfa has not proven up so well in this immediate district. One settler suggasts that the soil in his particular locality may be too acid for good results in alfalfa. However, the note from the Dept. of Agriculture may be of interest, so here it is:â€" ed with heavy feeding cror!s;, such as corn, cabbage, potatoss, or any market garden truck. Where sgeding down for the first time, it is advisable to sow at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds and to inoculate the seed,. As there is an abundance of highâ€"grade, homeâ€"grown seed offered this spring and the price is low, there should be no temptation to buy anything but Governmentâ€"tested alfalfa." ‘"With alfalfa seed .chsaper ‘today than in a long time, this is a splenâ€" did time to . your own fertilizer. Since retrenchment is vital, there is no alternative for the farmer, but to raise large proporticn of his needs on his own land. He will grow more of his own vegetables, mtats and fuel, and many will use alfalfa and sweet clover to put fresh energy into the soil. Alfâ€" alfa can be grown over a wide range of territory, but sweet clover should be restricted to those areas where there is no danger of getting it mixed with the small seed crops. Seeding down a field of alfalfa is easily equal to a liberal application of manure. Also because of its long, thick roots, alfalfa is a splenâ€" did plant for opening up heavy clay and also for adding mioistureâ€"retaining humus to light soils Once established, it will in a few years smother out most weeds. To derive most advantage from this cheap fertilizer, it should be followâ€" Canadians Should Not Forget Japan‘s Loyalty A reader of The Advance suggests that this newspaper seems prejudiced in favour of Japan in regard to the present peace between China and Jaâ€" pan. The charge is readily admitted. For years China has been unable, or unwilling, to maintain law and order in her borders. Japanese, as well as the people of other nationalities have been muredered, with no effort made by China to remedy conditions. Neiâ€" ther the property nor the lives of the people of other nations are safe in China. The League of Nations has been. as ungable or as unwilling as China to better conditions. What reaâ€" sonable man can blame Japan for atâ€" tempting to restore some semblance of order to China! has been subâ€" jected not only to an illegal boycott of her goods in China, but also to the wanton destruction of Japanese goods and property and the murder of Japanâ€" ese citizens. Surely even the pacifists who want to start a war with Japan for flouting the regulations of the Leaâ€" gue of Nations should see that Japan is only resenting in the one way posâ€" sible China‘s notorious and longâ€"conâ€" tinued plan of flouting decency and the rights of others guaranteed by treaties and agreement. There is much in the Japanese statement that China canâ€" not be considered as a nation in view of its utter incapacity to control its own affairs. There are other reasons for prejudice in favour of the Japanese. There is the kindly attitude of the Japanese to Canada and Britain as evidenced by trade and commerce and in other ways. Still more should the friendship of Japan during the world war be reâ€" membered. The critical reader should peruse the following editorial from The Torontc Mail and Empire last wesk. It is weli worthy of careful consideraâ€" tion "The London Economist, quoted in cable to the Toronto Star, says that the new power recently asserted by Japan will drive a wedge between members of the British Commonwealth "for those members bordering on the Pacific will be driven to look to the United States as the only power that can be depended on to give protection against an aggressive Japan." The editor of the Economist forgets that the members of the British Commonâ€" wealth had no coâ€"operation from the United States until the last year of the World War, and that, as a matter of fact, New Zealand, Australia and Canada‘s western coast depended for while upon the naval protection affordâ€" ed them by the powerful Japanese fleet. The few Canadians who visited Esquiâ€" malt, on Vancouver Island, in 1915, will remember the smart Japanese menâ€"ofâ€" war which were then protecting the British Columbia coast against the Gerâ€" man menâ€"ofâ€"war which had not yet been rounded up by the British navy. Throughout the World War the Japanâ€" ese Empire played the part of a steady and reliable ally against the enemies of civilization. Owing to the alliance with Japan, Great Britain was able to deâ€" vote the immense power of the grand fieet to very nevessary vpiâ€"rations in the waters of the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Oceans. "It is not surprising, therefore. to "ItL ~1Ss nOlL Surpris learn from Australia dean Comntonwealth against Japan on the ground that 14 Britain made the navy available for an economic boyectt againsi Japan, a state of war would exist between Britain and Japan in which Australia and every cther part of the Empire would be inâ€" volved." Simultaneously we have from London an announcement by Sir John Simon, British Minister of Foreign Afâ€" fairs, that; the Mother Country is opâ€" posed to any such action against Japan and that it will object at Geneva to any such action by the League of Naâ€" tions. This is sound commonsense, deâ€" spite the warlike amibitions of some of our pacifists and pacifist newspapers. The small minsrity in this country, which is ready to plunge at Japan‘s throat should, moreover, read the stateâ€" ment of Mr. Will Rogers in the New York Times. Mr. Rogers had just reâ€" turned from Shanghai and Manchuria, and he warns his readers that the news being supplied to the Western press cpposed to action by against Japan on the Britain made the navy In our opinion one of the outstanding purchases in the Canadian Mining stocks at this time.

Thought Timmins Team Did Not Play Uniformâ€"ly One Timmiins lad is developing into an ardent hockey fan. Last Thursday night he saw his first hockey game this season, when the Timmins Seniors deâ€" feated New Liskeard 6 to 2. In this game, due to the similarity in the uniâ€" form worn by the Liskeard aggregation to that of the Timmins sexte‘te, the Timmins Seniors had to borrow uniâ€" forms worn by the Bruins, a teaim playing in the Junior Town League. The Haileyburian last week says:â€"â€" "Judgment has been reserved ‘by Judgo Hartman in an action brought by the Naticnal Sanitarium Association against the Township of Dymond, in which the plaintiffs claimed $295 for the maintenance of Miss Flora Miron, daughter of a T. N. O. section fore man residing at Uno Park. The cast came before His Honour on Monday, and the father was the only witness heard. Plaintiffs sought to recover the cost of treatment based on $1.50 charges per day, from 1 to October 13, 1931, and they brought action against the municipality on the ground that the patient was an indigent. On the evidence presented, the_father swore he was paid $125 per month, and had been in regular employment for 27 years. It developed that provisions for the family of three at home cost $60 per month, and that he had allowed his daughter and a son also receiving treatment (but who had gone from Amos to Muskoka) $10 monthly each as pocket money. Hs had paid the first month‘s expenses for his daughter, it is stated. The township disputed the question of indigency." On Saturday morning the same lad saw the game at the Timmins rink, when the Bruins and Tuxis tied with a oneâ€"one score. The lad remarked, "Gee, Tuxis must have a strong team when Timmins couldn‘t besit thaem, after beating New Lisqgeard so badt on Thursday. I guess Timmins weren‘t trying very hard." Interesting Case Before Judge at Haileybury (By Roger Babson) What we need in this period is courâ€" agse in advertising. Wellâ€"placed, vigorâ€" ous advertising is a rowerful tonic for sales. Remember that every readjustâ€" ment offers a great opportunity to preâ€" pare for good business. How? When times are dull the general tendency has been to cut down on adveriising expenditures. This means less space is used in newspapers and magazines to create goodwill for products. Thereâ€" fore, when things ae quiet, cutlay for advertising should give greater reâ€" turn because of more concentrated pubtâ€" lic attention. People do not stop readâ€" ing newspapers and magazines during such periods. They probably read more, and when rivals and others reâ€" duce their advertising space, far more attention is attracted to those who continue advertising. Advertising is selling! Your advertising policy now is a good index to your sales outlook!
