GARY 7 D'Atty Hinds Mentioned for South Toronto \ "Yes, I have |been asked, to stand as a Federal candidate in South "Toronto," said Capti<D'Arcy. Hinds, Judgment Clerk,' Qs. gavde Hall, to the Toronto Star. "In faet, I have been. requested in two couistituen: cies, and my elpetion expenses have been ascured me. I haven't decided yet, but if I do re-enter politics I shall go before a Liberal-Conservative, wide-open convention. It is serious' nietter, but the situation at ~ Ottaws, is such |hat I am 'considering the step." 'A nofice' printed in "The Old Town Con- servative Club" |stationery, and: signed by Peter Sinjth, 'secretary, says that a depht- ation from the club membership has wait- ed' on Cupt. Hinds. 'A.

"How7is it, you |accomiplish so Touch in Orillia?" asked a besident of a neighboring ~town of an Orillian the other day. | 'Well, Y- don't' know," was the: reply of the Orillian questioned, "'unlest it ig that whenever a proposal: is put forward that has any, merit whatever in it; even if we don't agree with the. detuils, we try fo whip it into shape where it can be use to'advantnge and once -a proposal hus bees adopted. all join in try-- ing to make it» success.

The census of 1911 returned the population: of Quebec 'as 2,002,712, and this divided by 65 makes the unit of rep- resentation in the Commons 30,811. -The grtat increase in population in the decade. 'been in the Nor:hwest, that portion of Canada becomes entitled to much larger membership in the next House, while Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brun- swick-not having gained population prp- partionately. with Quebec, will have their representation reduced.

These Pro- vinees will send to Ottawa 57 members, or one-fourth of the whole; they will have nearly two-fold the representation of the three Maritime Provinces, 57 seats against 31; and their, combined membership will be) only eight less than that of Quebec. Truly, westward the course of Empire takes its way, and it is casy to appreciate that in the next and succeeding Parliaments the influence of Northwest opinion will be much more potent than in the past. Within the provinces there has been an adjustment) of. constituencies, due to the movement | of 'population. "The. island off Montreal bas at present eight members in the House/ of. Commons, and in the next being: "Jacques 'Cartier, Hochelaga, Mais-| onneuve, Westniount'St. Henry, , Laurier. Outremont, Cartier, St. Denis, St. Ann, St Antoine, St. Mary, St. James, and St. Lawrenge"St. George. If represent: within the province were based strictly on} population, the islaidl -of Montreal would | have st least 20 members, the unit of re- presentation 'being 30,811. While Ontario's} total menibership is reduced -by four' seats, from 86 to 82, the city! of Toronto gains a 'member, and. will have six in the next House as against fiye af present. : Didn't Pay to Be a Hog Midland -Argds--A farmer brought into town list week 14 bags of old potatoes which he tried to sell."

These -same flotatoes were brought. to town almost six weéks a- go and because the fariner- could not get +8600 per bag he took them back home Now they have been over the road for the second' time with no hope of disposal other than being fed 'to the pigs.
