There will be two answering ‘to the name of Nixon in the new Legislatureâ€"H, C. Nixon, of Brant, and W. G. Nixon, of Temiskaming. There are no other two noted of any ‘other single name. In Short, the people said. ‘"Nixon" . the Henry Government.. The people of the North will be pleased with this assurâ€" ance. The North has shown every disposition to give the new Government a fair deal, and so has the right to expect fair treatment from the new administration. In the North partyism is not followed as closely as it is in some more southern sections. To the people of the North the chief thing is the progress and development of the North, and any Government that will advance the real fnterests of the North may safely and confidently expect the support and goodwill of the people of the North. Despite the potefftial wealth of the North this section of country still needgthe sympathetic interest and assistance of the Government to achieve the best results and mainâ€" tain the presen elopment and progress. There is nothâ€" ing to be gained by concealing the fact that the"cessation and apparently give all its time and effort, forâ€"a period at least to the discharge of all Government employees in this part of the country and the filling of their places by other employees who had voted for the Liberal party candidate. It will be pleasing to all in the North to know that both from the local heads of the Liberal party and from Toron‘to the suggestion receives flat repudiation.. To The Advance last week one prominent local Liberal stated positively and emphatically ‘that work on roads in this part of the North would be carried through to completion and that no Govâ€" ernment employee would be discharged except for due and sufficient cause.. This cause, he added, would need to be much more than the belief that an employee had voted wrongly in the past. There will not be any,. improper patâ€" ronage system adopted, this prominent Liberal maintained, and not for a moment would the real interests of the North be ‘forgotten or sidetracked.. Purther it was indicated that roads for settlers will be given even more than previous attention, the road connecting Porcupine and Sudbury will be carried along, and in addition the highway between Timâ€" mins and South End is to be straightened and widened and placed in proper condition. "~During the past few years the North has been a vital factor in assisting Ontario in weathering the storm of the depression.. The new wealth produced by the Northâ€" has done much indeed for the province as a whole and for the Dominion of Canada. It would be a poor return for this if any discrimination were shown against the North. Bellwoods, Toronto, is represented by Roebuck.. No wonder he is thought to be a dear by the ladiesâ€"double yso, if thatâ€"be possible.. It is all very confusing.. But so the whole election.. ~ There were suggestions immediately after the election 40 the effect that the new Government of Ontario intended: to stop all work on roads and other public works in the North In the new Legislature there‘s a Miller, a Taylor, a Tanner a Baker, though their occupations are not the same as their names suggest. The Tanner, as a mattf.-r of fact, a doctor. He should be able to cure them. The Taylor in Grey North defeated the Cooper running against him. The people of Grey North apparently decided to discard the barrel in favour of the better suit. ~‘The Newman elected for Victoria was the old man of the previous Legisla‘ture, his Conservative opponent proving to F. N. Carr is the member for Northumberland.. _It is to be hoped that Mr. Hepburn will not sacrifice him with the other cars.. If he is a modern Carr he should be able to travel some.,. The member for Middlesex North claims to be Freeborn. Kingston‘s choice was Kidd. There was a lot of this Kidd business about the whole election in the ’I‘ory estimation. "What‘s in a "Nothing!".or ‘él and there shou Consider the*names of the m ture for Ontatioh s an‘example The people of Ontario generally seemed‘to be determined to differentiate between distinctions and differences. For 'g’xamplo, the Fee in Kenora was refused, but the Price was accepted for Toronto Parkdale.. + ‘The new Legislature is supposed to be a colorful assembly but you couldn‘t hardly tell that from the names of the members. There isn‘t a Green, a Brown or a White among them. There is a Black from Addington, and a Blacklock, from Halton, not to mention the Brownridge, from Storâ€" mount. . Sam Scarlett was the communist candidate in North Waterloo. Apparently the people thought Scarlett altogether too Red. Speaking of Reds, there wasn‘t one o1 that colour elected anywhere in the province, although G. T. Fulford, of Brockville, is decidedly reminiscent of Pinkâ€" P}pk Pills ‘for Pale People. ‘Oke in Lambton East, and Hawthorne m Pctcrborough were blown down in the election storm. The new Legislature will have its Bragg, apart from Mr. Hepburn.. Durham saw to that, failing to Cotton to the C.CF. candidate.. | ~Essex South has a Wigle on it this year ‘though Lhe Wigle is pronounced Wagle, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Jimmy.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher NA M V ALUE OF THE NORTH Thursday, July 5th, 1934 e2" The answer is supposed to be rmch!" But take a collection of names, "# little amusement, at least, among of the members of the new Legisla United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year It is not suggested that certain newspapers deliberately give ‘the communists the publicilty they require and then cry out just as deliberately that further publicity cease. The truth seems to be that these newspapers who have the cunning idea about publicity are badly deceived. Last week, for instance, a number of newspapers preaching no publicity for the communists gave very generous publicity to what they appear to believe is a Hunger March organized by the unemployed ito be held in Ontario in a few weeks. Press notices of this alleged hunger march were sent to a large number of newspapers. The names on the letterâ€" head would prove to anyone keeping an account of these fellows that the whole scheme is just one more communist dodge. It would be a safe bet to say that local branches of the communists have been kept busy for weeks sccuring money from local dupes to pay for the meals that will be required on the hunger march. If anyone thinks that sugâ€" sestion is no more than sarcasm, they should recall the fact that a parade of unemployed in Timmins some years ago was actually postponed to a later hour in the day so as to allow the members of the communists party who were on day shift work to attend the parade without losing their pay or their positions. .A number of newspapers, who would know better if they knew more about the matter, have been suggesting that the communists.are being kept alive by the publicity given by those opposed to them. "There are only a few of the comâ€" munists," these newspapers argue, "and as their doctrines do not appeal at all to the people of Canada, they would die a natural death if it were not for the publicity given them." This idea is so favourable to the communist plan that it is difficult to believe it was not suggested by the alien agitators themselves in the first place. It may be interestlng to note that the idea was followed out for several years in Canada by most newspapers and instead of provâ€" ing â€"a success from the Canadian viewpoint, its only adâ€" vantage was to the foreign mischiefâ€"makers who were allowed to work undeterred. They injured every legitimate trade union in the country, for instance, before publicity r'xposed their evil work and made it less able to succeed. The plan of suppression by silence might be possible were it actually attempted, but the trouble is that the papers that have been attempting have been made no better than tools ‘by the communists. Working under cover under a variety of names the communists have started all sorts of ‘trouble or unduly exaggerated existing difficulties. In this work they have been receiving all sorts of indirect publiâ€" city.. The newspapers that are forward with the cunning idea that lack of publicity will kill the communists are reâ€"| sponsible for showering them with the sort of publicity . they desire. Then these newspapers, in effect, turn around and.object to any unfavourable publicity for these aliens.? puring the past few years the communists have deliberately | fomented labour troubles. In this they would receive the | fullest support from a publicity that was fresly given them‘ by soâ€"called tolerant newspapers. The prison riots at ‘ Kingston were due to the evil work of the communists, acâ€"| cording to the authorities. In this effort they certainly had their share of publicity from those newspapers that reaturel the idea that only publicity is keeping alive the communist. scheming. As a matter of fact it is money that is keeping alive communist activity and the thinute that publicity| stops the flow of coin just that minute the leaders of thct movement will lose interest. | In one of his recent public addresses Hon. Chas.. McCrea gave the advice to allâ€"*"Full steam ahead for the North and its resources!" This would be a good motto for the new Ciovernment in its expenditures in the development of the North. © "Full speed ahead!" W,. . Nixon has had a wide experience in the North. He knows the North and its needs. From this long contact with : the public and his personal and intimate acquainâ€" tance with agricultural matters in this part of the province Mr. Nixon would seem to be particularly fitted for either the post of Minister of Agriculture or that of Minister of Lands and Forests. It is a wonder that his capabilities have not been emphasized to greater extent than they have been. The New Liskeard Speaker has called attention to Mr. Nixon‘s notable services to the North as a representative of the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, but apart from this little has been said about Mr. Nixon and his special qualifications for public life. As a matter of fact, the newspapers of the North have done nothing to interfere in the slightest way with the selection of Mr. Hepburn‘s cabinet. At the same time it should be remembered that the matter is of vital importance to the North. It seems a fact beyond question that for the progress of the North two portfolios at least shotuld be in the hands of men of the North, with knowâ€" ledge of the North and its problems and with interest in the North and its development. Among those proposed for places in the cabinet have been several with contact with the North, these including Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Slaght, Hon. Peter Heenan and others. The case of Hon. Chas. McCrea, apparently agreed on all sides to be the best Minister of Mines Ontario ever had, predisposes the people to prefer an actual resident of the North whose life proves his heart is in the North. Among those elected from Northern conâ€" stituencies there is enough talent and experience to give the North and the province the best administration of the «deâ€" partments essentially Northern, such as Lands and PForests and the Mines Department. â€"Hon. Mr.~Hepburn and his friends may not look upon the North as the important section that it really is. All who know the North, however, know its value and importance, and are sure that advantages to the North will also prove vital factors in the betterment of all other parts of the province. With confidence restored in the North, with the people of the country assured of security for themselves and keen interest on the part of the administration, the North will go ahead in the most satisfactory and profitable manner. Much advice has been showered on the new premier and his prospective cabinet.. A little more or less in the way of suggestion may not be out of place.. A little study of the situation will prove the importance and value of the North. Wise development of the North will mean noteworthy beneâ€" fit to the whole province. To achieve this end it would appear that a prime requiâ€" site is the appointment of one or more of the members from the North to the new cabinet.. All the members from the North know the country and its needs.. It would appear to be good sense as well as good politics to have a Northern man for Minister of Lands and Forests and also a North Land man for Minister of Mines. Recently The Advance suggested that it would not be necessary to go beyond local bounds to find a suitable man for the portfolio of Lands and FPorests. The name of the member for this riding, John Rowlandson, was mentioned as excellent material for adâ€" ministrative work in the North. To this suggestion may be added a word in regard to another member from the Nortn. COMMUNISM AND PUBLICITY ThE PORCUPINE ADVANCE,. TIMMINS, ONTARIO In another phase of the question private corporations have set a good example that might well be followed by the town. This is in the matter of insurance of employees. The McIntyre Mines insure the lives of all employees to the decided benefit of the familics of the employees and with the mine boaring the greater part of the cost. The Holâ€" lingor recently inaugurated a free insurance plan for its employees, and the remarkable advantage of this was eviâ€" denced by one case arising just after the plan went into force. The believes that the town would do well to give similar protection to its employees, especially the firemen and policemen who are not paid now as much as they should bz given in the way of salaries., The insurance f town employees on the group insurance plan would not |: be costly and one case would justify the expenditure for | t There is always much t.alk about what private corâ€" years. porations should do in the wa.y q: helplng and p:mecunz employees. All this may be sincere enouzh bnt it does seem that the soâ€"called Stradivarius was not genuine, or that the supposedly skilled musician wasn‘t as good a player as he might be, or that ths iistening musician was not so exâ€" pert about the ears as he thought he was. *% x # 4 The press despaftches suggest that scores, perhaps hunâ€" dreds of men, are being executed without trial these days in Germany. It may be true, and probably is, that thouâ€" sands of other German lives are being saved by the stemp ing brutality. In any case, however, the terrorism now in progress in Germany suggests that Canadians and other Briushemhavcmhtobethmkfmmr,andtheyahmnd bemerwretamthewmotmmkmmm m:-yeuort In protesting against reductions in pay for the members of the municipal police force and firemen, The Advance suegosted that the town should show a good example to private corporations in the matter of wages and conditions. It should be noted that there is no just cause toâ€"day for a hunger march. With a new government just taking over the administration, it is decidedly unfair. The new premier is entitled to an opportunity to make good on any plans he may have. To stage a hunger march at this time is simply to try to create senseless nuisance and annoyance. It is typically communist, however. Malice is their lifeâ€" blood. Publicity for that truth would soon stir up public opinion that would put the alien agitators where they belong. condemn publicity to expose them All packages containing insect poiâ€" sons must have printed thereon the Corrosive sublimate usually comes in the form of a hcavy white powder costing about $2.50 per pound, ,but may also jbe purchased in tabloid form. Besides being deadly poisonous it is very corrosive to metal containers. When diluting, use hot water and mix in wcoden, glass or earthenware conâ€" tainers.. Note Well:â€"Corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison and should always be kept out of the reach of children and live stock.. To control the cabbage maggot in radishes, use the solution as soon aAS the plants come up from seed. A seâ€" cond treatment is given about five days later.. Never treat radishes when they are nearly ready to use as there is danger of poisoning the consumer by so doing. The young plants in infected secâ€" tions should be treated with corrosive sublimate solution, used at tho rate of one ounce to ten gallons of water... As soon as the pnlants are set out pour about half a cupful of this solution around the stem of each plant. This should be done twice again atewoekly intervals... It is important that the first application be that early so as to arrest the maggot before it has time to penetrate to the root system. The Cabbage Maggot Host plants are cabbages, cauliâ€" flowers, radishes, turnips, etc. The inâ€" sect winters in the soil n the pupal stage and close to the old infested host plants. About the middle of jung (in this section) the adultâ€"a twoâ€"winged fly about the size of a houseflyâ€"comes out, and in a few days begins to lay eggs in the soil close to the stems of favourable host plants. The eggs hatch in five days and the maggots dig into and feed on the roots. They not only destroy small fibrous roots, but dig into the tap roots. Infested plants become stunted and wilt,, and, gencrally, they yellow and die. Radishes are also very much affected, and, though they may not be killed they are rendered unfit for food.

The man who claimed to be an expert was certain that the music on the ordinary violin was that of the Stradivarius, and that the Stradivarius was only an ordinary modern violin. . This tempts The St. Thomas Timesâ€"Journal to suggest that the incident proves that the talk about the wonders of the old masters is largely affectation. Of course, it does not prove any such thing.
