There was no one there when the truck arrived. When a ftaise alarm is rung in from a box, it automatically sets in action devices at the fire hall that summons the volunteers as well as those on duty at the time.

Doctors wh> examined the body state that the cause of death was a heart attack. He was leaning against the wall in the hall of the building when the seizure took place. His name was James Quincy. The jury may reach a decision in the case this afterncon, it is reported, and may find Harold Vermilyea guilty of the murder of his mother; not guilâ€" ty of the deed; or insane.

Mr. Bradette‘s speech as given by Hansard is in part as follows:â€" "In the last hundred years we have seen the industrial state superimposed on agriculture and there is no doubt' whatever that the condition that has resulted has created a burden of reâ€" sponsibilities and taxes which is weighâ€" ing heavily on the agricultural classes.

J, A. Bradette, M.P., member for this riding in the Dominion House, took a leading part in stirring interest in an amended land settlement plan when he sponsored a motion in the House last week to promote a land settlement scheme, spending $20,000,000 over a perâ€" lod of five years to purchase farms for young men who have been drifting to the cities.

At this point Mr. Bradette commentâ€" ed on the various farmer movements ; that have been known in recent Canaâ€" idian politics, He also stated that in the industrial development that has taken place, in the mechanization of industry everywhere, there has been laid on the shoulders of the farmers an added burden.

We see this in the banking system, in conâ€" nection with social questions, credit questions, the tariff and all the modern social activities converging towards one end, and working more and more, as I say, into the hands of a highly inâ€" dustrialized state." Mr. Bradette said that the acts now enforced by the government may help to solve the "To come back to the land move» ment," he said, "IL maintained in the fall of 1930 and again in the year 1931 that unless the central government found it possible to spend large sums of money to make the scheme a real success, it was bound to fail, because (Continued on Page Five) He leavt governments, whether local or central, have worked to the detriment of the agricultural class. In this country we have on the one side the great indusâ€" tries and on the other side the basic industry of agriculture, and though we have not had severe convulsions, we have witnessed a conflict in Canada between the agrarian class and the industrial, so much so that sometimes the conflict has been expressed in party lines." "First of all," he continued, "I would make it clear that not only has the industrial state always to some extent superimposed itself on agriculture, but Mr. Bradette stated that Can finds itself in a similar position many others, needing reform in b industry. tries as France, the United States, Jaâ€" pan and Russia, and I will not omit England, although Englangq is highly industrialized.
