ALEXANDER Merchant Tailor Feversham, - Ontario THE NEW TARIFF Hon. W. S. Fielding brought down his budget on Friday last. No radical change has taken place in the tariff, although there are | several important minor changes For instance, a material reduction has been made in the excise tlnt\ on cigarettes, while matches remain at the astonishing' figure of five cents duty on every box you buy The housewife and smoker woulc like to see a reduction on this household necessity. They do no care to return to the primeval ne ! cesity of rubbing sticks to ma'.e a fire. There is a half cent reduction on sugarbut the manufacturers seem to have the situation well in hanc , and are the only ones likely to 'benefit. There is also considerable 1 reduction in the duty on native wine i which is a free beverage under tin O- T. A. as a salve for the grapi growers. There is one little bit o satisfaction, or rather hope, for the printer as the duty on newsprin has been wiped out, but whethe this will help the users of newsprin or the manufacturer only remains |tO be seen. The public debt of the Dominion increased last year to the (extent or #49,293,086. In any o these things we do not see any great cause for rejoicing, although | they may be considered as signs o better things to come. Mr Fielding thinks they are.

II Wellon, w ii>tU|(hr.vr, Dr. J\MIESON IT IS At the Conservative convention held in Durham on FriJay last Dr. JamicKon consented to once more take the field in Conservative inter- ests, but not until heavy pressure hnil n_>en brought to bear., and then only with ihe strict understanding that he should go into the tight as an Independent Conservative. He will have no .strings attached to him and will not support any party measure if he considers it an un- wise measure. This is only what we could ex- pect from a man of Dr. Jamieson's stamp. He is an old and Urgcl Legislator, having been nil through the mill from tail race to weather- vane- in other words, from humble member to Speaker and holds the confidence and esteem of svery elector in the riding, regnrdles of creed or politics. Dr. Jamieson is a man of outstanding ability in this riding, and th stucesk he has made of his own business would lad one to expect that as A Legislator hi- would be equally careful of the people's interests and light forKomu semblance of economy in provincial affairs. DOUBTING THOMASES When an honest man relates a perfectly straightforward incident about a big speckled trout he lose* his reputation for veracity. A man might almost as well go into poli- tics as go fishing so far as his reputation is concerned. Toronto Star Weekly. No doubt Bro.

II the wet weather continue* lh streets won't need to be oiled, o o o o Dr. Jamieson in his speech at the Durham convention said that under his regime as Speaker the messenger service cost the country $l 4 ,000per year ; under the Drury government it was 138,000, or an increase of $24,000 !

WEEDS ARE_ ROBBERS They Cost Older Ontario at Least $28,000,000 Annually. They Are Heavy Reducers of Legi- timate Crop Yields More After Harvest Tillage Is Needed Dandelion Control Why a 95,000 Bull Was Sold for 950. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) A superficial survey of Southern Ontario shows very clearly that the weed plants have gained so much headway on very many farms as to have become the largest profit-rob- bing factor. Thistles, ragweed, mus- tard, etc., are crowding out the useful food plants, reducing yield! and making work more difficult. Too Lit t!e Farm Help and Too Many Dogs. In the old days when labor was more plentiful and gang-ploughs for after harvest tillage were found in use on every farm, clean, weed free fields were to be seen on every hand. Farms that were models of cleanli- ness and the pride of their owaeri are no longer so. The men of the old school and the condition of abundant, willing help on the farms has gone. The presence of competing weeds does not worry the present day farmer to a point of action. Shortage of help, apathy on the part of land- owners, neglect to make noxious weed bylaws operative, and the sheep-killing dog, have been the chief contributing factors favoring the wholesale weed development that if now experienced by this province. Annual Losses llun to Millions of Dollars. The average loss per acre on cul- tivated and grazing lands is difficult to determine. On the well kept farm* the annual loss caused by the pres- ence of weeds is not loss than two dollars i>er acre. On the farms that have been poorly managed for a number of years the annual loss from weeds may be as high as ten dollars per acre. Taking the lower figure of two dollars per acre as the minimum loss, on the Southern On- tario farms that have an aggregate area of 14,000,000 cleared acres we have a loss of $28,000,000 per year. The weed increase which has been so rapid during the past ten years will. If not checked, cause a direct loss to the Ontario farmers of $100,000,- 000 per annum. Let the Plough anil the Harrow Ik- Kept tioing. . . If the noxious weed robbery that it being perpetrated on the Ontario farmer from April to October each year just because he is willing to be robbed were stopped, money for household comforts, taxes, etc., i would be more plentiful. After har- j Test tillage, autumn ploughing and the cleaning up of the fence row* and roadsides in good time will help ' oheck the advance of weeds. The ' agriculture of no province is BO rich that It can afford to tolerate a weed nultance that is costing many mil- lions each year. L. Stevenson, Sec- retary t)ept. of Agriculture, Toronto. Caught By Storm A bunch of young ptopie from Kim* herlwy came up on Wednesday night Use to attend thn Nickawa oonoert. At- tempting to return home In the blinding snowstorm after the concert , they missed their way at the Morey corner. In en- deavoring to turn around at Rock Mills their car became disabled, and tbe party was brought back .to town, where tbe ladies remained until the following mornmu. The gentlemen got anothat o-u and attempted to go home but this one broke down this side of Eugenia and they had to walk down to the powa bouse. Next morning they returned here when a sleiiih waa secured to take them home. But tbe banking hours at Kim- ber'y were probably smashed on Thurs* day, aUo the Educational Act. How- ever, we hope all theie troubles will not prevent further visits from these ea- teemed young people. ^ THE RED CROSS OP ONTARIO sks the generous people of Ontario to come to the help of COCHRANE an Ontario town. 3,400 people live in Cochrane ', 780 have had typhoid fever or are now tick. The town itself has gallantly carried its burden until now. The Red Cross asks Ontario for $75,000.00 in order to run the Emergency Hospital with 20 nurses and 80 beds : Also to care for hundreds of convalescents still urgently needing special food and care to restore them to health.
