But we are vitally interested iu the success of the Brit- ish in the war, and therefore we are interested in the work of the Brittsli cabinet. For that reason the casual observer is quick to imagine that a coalition government, which puts the be>t men ill all the parties to work at the job of rimuing the country, will bo of luucli assistance iu the wise pursuit of our uew national job of trimniing the | Kaiser's moustache. A Government torn with disscntioii amoug political factions cannot give undivided attintion to the big issues at stake: and while a proper watch - lulness on the part of the opposition may uueaith and ren>ove boot and binocular scandals, it also harasses llie Government. This war is too big a thing to bo dallied with, and it is big enougn to 'demand the best that the people can 45ive to it. It wcm folly to imagine that in any one party there is a mortgage on all the clever men. The Advance imagines that out of tho new adjustnuMt of public life in Great Britain will come a stronger and more aggressive organization than even the one which in the past inontha hau steadied the country and pulled it through a terrible time of testing.

THE ORCHARD The Aivauce does not set itself up as an agi icnlttiral Bible by any means bat it does seem that the neglected orchards in this part of the country could be made to do soraethiog worth while for the owners if they were given a little more attention in the way of careful pruning and spraying. How many men with half neglect- ed orchards know that orchards "should" bo sprayed as much as four times every year? Judging by re- sults, it is easy to reply "not many. ' If the orchards were given even two sprayings it would do a world of good in fighting tho insicts and diseases which attack the bark, the (lower and the fruit of the trees dm ing the season. It's too late now for the first spraying, but in a short time the trees will be ready for the second one, and would bo thoroughly grateful for any atteu tion along that line.

J., on Tiieaday, May 18, at the ripe old age of 80 years. He had been in good healtli, only failing with I Id age, until within six days liefore hi.i death, when ho took to liis hed. De- ceased w.'is born in the townshi|) of .Al- bion, near Toronto. .\t the age of 'S> he came to O.sprey and settled on the farm uhero he has since resided. Al 20 years of age ho married Eliza Smith of Smith- dale, who predeceased liiin 25 years ago. .\ family of five sons and two daughters survive, namely, Wm. .1. on the old homestead ; David, Kth lint ; Ueorge, at â- Singhampton ; .lolin, 3rd line ; Keuhen, uB tho police force, Toronto ; Mrs Dan. Mc.\rthur, Gibralter ; and Mrs. Honry McKonna, Medicine Hat, .\lberta ; also an adopted daughter, Mr. MeKinimn, Hinghampton. In poliuus the deoea.iied gentleman was a lifelong Consirv.itive, in religion he was an .'\nglicaii. He was a g<>od neighbor and kind father, which was proven by the large number ot neighbors and friends who gathered to pay the last tribute of rosptct to the de- parted. His piLstor, Rev. Slemin, Dun- troon, c nducted a short service at the hou.se and preached an appropriate and impressive sermon from the text, "In tho niidat of life we are in death," after which tho ronriins were interred in Ihe family plot at Singhampton.
