W. Edwards And James Halliday Clash on the Platform. © DOCTOR STARTS TROUBLE BY A REFERENCE TO LIEUT-COL. F. FERGUSON The Latter Declared That the Poli. ticlans Had Controlled the Army And tho Liberals Were Not Fairly Treated. At Harrowsmith on Menday after- . noon, Dr. J. W. Edwards of Catar- aqui was nominated as a Union Gov- ernment candidate and James Halll- day of Portsmouth as a Win-the-War Liberal. Both candidates spoke to a large audience in the township hall, and there was a very lvely time, Dr. Edwards was the first speaker and stated that "what ever faults the Borden administration ¥ have had it has done more than all the various Governments--Grit and Tory--did for the farmer in the last twenty years. In the six years before 1911, the appropriation for agri ure } was $6,950,000 or an average of a million a year. There have been big ircreases since then, In 1912 the Agricultural Act was passed which gave half a million to this work. Then the Agricultural Instruction Act gave ten million to be spread over a period of ten years. This-has made possible district agricultural representatives. With reference to the cheesé gitua- tion the doctor said that up to a few years ago there was much trouble in the handling of cheese at Montreal. Once the cheese , was of the buyers, The speaker said that he took up this matter and had an inspector of cheese appointed for Montreal who insures the farmers a square deal. He has received a num- ber of resolutions from cheese men which show their appréciation of his work. 'With regard to the fixing of the prices, he said that he was not re- sponsible as the British Board of Trade Had offered 21% cents f.0.b., Montreal. The buyers would not run the risk of submarines and the Brit- ish Board of Trade fook the cheese from the Canadian farm and inciden- tally was paying two cents a pound more than it 'did for New Zealand cheese. It was the British navy which had made it possible for the farmers to have their cheques every week. Canada was supplying credit of over one hundred millions to the British Government and it was this money that would help pay the cheese money for the farmers, The speaker endorsed the address made by Mayor Hughes of Kingston, and urged the farmers to partake of the Victory Loan. Dr: Edwards then made reference to the bran and shorts question. The price was lower in Canada than in the United States. When the act to put wheat on the free list was brought up and passed, he secured the statement. from Sif Thomas White, Minister of Finance, that as soon as the striking off of the tax on bran and shorts would effect a spv- ing to the farmers, the duty would be taken off so that bran and shorts could be secured duty free from the United States. He then told about a new idea which hy was working out. This was to take money from the treasury to supply boats to carry flour to Eng- land from Canada free of charge. Wheat would be carried at a nom- inal sum. This would result in an inducement to have the wheat milled there, to have less of it sent over the American route and incidentally to have the bran remain in Canada, This idea was commended by George P. Graham of the Opposition and he over the things which the Borden e Baily British Whig there the farmers were at the mercy Dr. Edwards at this point went |! KINGSTON, 1915, and part of 1917 the men were coming forward faster than they could be equipped. The enlistments have since fallen off. There are men in the country districts who could not be spared. There are men who should never have gone over- seas. It is idle, however, to say that the voluntary system had not been given a fair trial. Ontario contribut- ed 102 per cent. of its allotment of the 500,000, and Quebec gave only 32 per cent. This was because there were not earnest, sincere men on the platforms in Quebéc and because the men did not receive a fair deal from the church in that province. 'He explained the workings of the exemption tribunals in the country, and said that he had done every- thing to make their decisions fair ones. : Then he touched on a story that he said had been circulated about his gon. Lieut. Worden Edwards has been flying in France since last June, said the doctor. Touching the proposition of Laurier, Dr. Edwards mentioned the use by Dr. Richardson of the word "infamous" in connection with the Military Franchise Act. He justi. fied the Government's action by showing that the vote should not be given to the women of Quebec or the foreigners in the Dominion, The Union Government came un- der his notice, and he said that all but one of the nine premiers of the provinces of Canada, seven of whom were Liberals, had formed this or- ganization against those things which are not truly British. Person- ally he was prepared to lay his Con- servative principles on the shelf un- til after the war. He was willing to give as much support as possible to the Liberal members of the Cabinet. The first duty of Canadians is to see that Canada is not placed under the control of anti-British or the foreign element in this country. A. E. Weller then spoke a few words showing to the meeting that | Mr. Halliday had previously resign- ed the nomination, but had been made under pressure by his friends to reconsider it. The Liberals had offered to consult with the Conser- vative executive about Union mat. ters, but the Conservatives would not, and therefore they had to as- sume the responsibility. James Halliday was next called on by the chairman. His first remarks were to prove his interests in the county, mentioning the fact that he had been a reeve for five years and warden last year. He has suggested representation by a farmer because there were too many doctors and lawyers there. The farmer repre- sented the ideals which will go to build up this young country, and in this contest it was the masses as re. presented by the Liberal Govern- as _repre- ment. The record of the Borden Govern- working on behalf of the big inter.' ests. Mr. Halliday disowned any connection with the story alleged by Dir. Bdwafds to have been circulat- ed against his (Edward's) son. Mr. Halliday declared that he was not a supporter of the Union Gov- ernment, but a Win-the-War Libe- mal. He had no apologies to make on his loyalty. He believed that the time for Union Government was in August, 1914. That was the time for an offer of coalition from the Government to the Opposition. If Borden Government members had been. able to rise high enough at that WHEN THE | KIDNEYS F 'oisons Remain in the Blood, Which Cause Pains and Aches Read Here of the Surest Way Sete ting the s Right.

The Conserva- tives had said, "No, we will run this war and have the patronage," The record had been proven by commis- sions to be something awful. Can- ada is in this war to the last dollar, but he objected to those dollars go- ing into the pockets of profiteers. Hughes with a tremendous burst of energy 'had purchased Valcartier and Borden camps simply as schemes 4 waste public money. Petawawa Camp, with 70,000 acres, could have accommodated 100,000 men without that expense. Mr. Halliday said that he believed that for every three dollars spent since the war began by the Conser- vative Government, one had been wasted and one had gone into the pockets of the profiteers. "It's the same old bottle with the different label," said Mr. Halliday. He did not think that the people of this country would be satisfied by any death-bed repentance on the part of Borden when they began to recall such facts as the bandages, boots and clothing being tainted by graft before being supplied to the Can- adian soldiers. 3 There was absolutely no justifica- tion, particularly after it had been proven that such things existed. Fla- velle and his bacon were typical ex- of what is yet going on.

Condemns Conscription Act. It was mdst unfortunate that the Conscription Act was in force. He held no briefs for the French-Can- adians, but he was convinced that the trouble could be traced back to 1911 when Bourassa and Lavergne, Nationalists of the Borden adminis- had gone through Quebec with an educational campaign direc- ted against Laurier's Imperial policy.

Lessard could have stopped the present cri- sis. : The fact that the Borden Govern- ment had broken their word about compulsory service and that Borden had sprung such an arbitrary meas- ure before the country without any educational campaign was wrong. In Australia the first referendum had failed, but the second would be suc- cessful because the people grasped the situation and will not oppose the Act. The Canadian Sorspment had ced a e¢riels on the couniry and] brought about a state of potential discontent, Mr. Halliday goes as far as to say that men in the city should be con- scripted to work on the farms rather than take farmers away and send them to France. R. B. Bennett's scheme, costing half a million and called the National Service scheme, was a perfect farce. That should have been carried out on a Govern- ment census basis. The United States will have, an enormous army in the field shortly and in the meantime we are strip- ping our farms of experienced help to feed our own and the other Allied armies. He feared that the Military Ser- vice Act would do more harm than good, but "it is law and must be obeyed," said Mr. Halliday. One of Laurier's planks is the tak- ing off the duty on agricultural im- plements. This duty of twelve and a half per cent. did not help in Greater Production. + Dr. Edward's Reply. tually the troublesome people calm- ed down. 3 The village hall at Harrowsmith was packed to capacity for the event.

Last year the bees of Ontario ap- parently had a banner year, but it cannot be spid of them this year, Ac- cording to the Department of Agri- culture the honey crop will be from one-third to one-half of what it was last year, though the yield will be around what it was for the preceding two or three years. Last year the honey crop was 90 pounds per colony, while this year the best that .an be expected is 51.6 per colony. In Ontario there are be- tween 125,000 and 150,000 colonies of bees producing honey, or in other words the honey crop this year will be between 6,375,000 and 7,850,000 pounds, ~The reason given for theidrop over last year's yield is that the season was wet during clover time, and the backwardness of tlie season gener- ally. The western section of Ontario is more affected than the eastern portion. One apiarist, about 30 miles from Toronto, who. had 22,000 pounds of honey last year, has only 6,000 this year. +The Ontario Beekeepers' Associa- tion report from 500 members bears out the statement from the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Dr. Edwards then came back in his| Allies, usual forceful manner and "ripped" into Mr. Halliday's address.

London Answers. Nearly every class of design of vessel sinks in a particular way. For instance, the old type of single bot- tom steamer with few or no bulk- heads--that is, in the modern sense of the term--almost invariably founders on more or less of an even keel, which means that it sinks level and not with its bow or stern up in the air. This is accounted for by the fact that at whatever point the water may enter it practically finds its own level, as there are no sub-divisions to obstruct it. Now in the case of a modern ves. sel, which is built with numerous sub.divisions, it invariably happens that she founders with her bow or stern high out of the water, or elge she sinks with a heavy list, or cant, to one side or the other. The rea- son for this is that the bulkheads prévent the water which enters the vessel from finding its level. Con- sequently when one particular por. tion of the ship is full of 'water, while the remainder is practically water tight, that part which is water laden sinks first, owing to its great- er weight. It is for this reason that such ter- rible loss of life frequently occurs in modern shipwrecks. Owing to the uneven sinking it 4s often found im- possible to lower the majority of the life boats as they would fail to reach the water. Doubtful Location. During an inquest held in Cinein- nati the following question was put to one of the witnesses by the deputy coroner: "Where was the deceased struck by the motor car?" . Whereupon the witness, a surgeon, replied: "At* the juncture of the dor- sal and cervical vertebrae" The deputy coroner looked puzzled, "Will you please point out that on the map?" he asked, indicating one that hung on the wall.--Case and Comment, Bad Company.
