Arthur Meighen Speaks At Eugenia Big Crowd Of 6,000 People Were At Eugenia On Thursday Last CONSERVATIVE RALLY Hon. Geo. S. Henry, M.P.P., Gave News On Ontario Problems Eugenia welconied the largest crowd in its history on Thursday afternoon last, when Hon. Arthur MeiKht.n, leader of the Conservative Opposition in the House of Commons and Hon. Geo. S. Henry, Minister of HiKhway.s in the Ferifuson jfovern- ment, were present and delivered ad- dresses. The chair was occupied by Wm. Breese of Centre Grey L.C. As- sociation, and prominent on the plat- form where a number of public men, includinK Dr. Jamieson, M.P.P., for South Grey, W.A. Boys, M.P., of South Simcoe; Hon. L. Bristol of To- ronto; and Hon. Mr. Blair, leader of the Conservative opposition in Al- berta. All the.se gentlemen have short addresses during the afternoon, and these were interspersed with band I selections by the combined Dundalk 'and Markdale bands and community iintfiiijf. The day was ideal for the occasion. Hon. Mr. Henry spoke eulogistic- ally of the Ferguson government. Mr. Ferguson was a hard worker, conscientious and had courage of his convictions. The Premier was also Minster of Education and was study- ing the question so that a mo^ eijuitable arrangement of school [ grants might be made. A farm for j boys was being provided at Bowman- villc in order that the boys from in- dustrial homes might be provided with instruction and care and better citizens made of them. In giving I the plebiscitet on the liquor question I Mr. Ferguson was only fulfilling the pledge he had made at the last elec- 1 tion. The reason for making a big [ loan this fall was that a debt of $300,000,000 had bec^n incurred which fell due this fall and no provision had been made for its retirement. Of Ontario resources he showed that Ontario produced half as much gold last year as the United States, and 90 per cent, of the world's output of nickel. In his own department Mr. Henry showed some of the ways in which they had been practising ec- onomy. When he came into office there were 24 resident engineers Iool<- The Peoples' Grocery | The Place To Shop 9 20 bars Standard Soap $1.00 2 lb. Seedless Raisins .25 3 lb.

These j were cut down to nine. From a salary expanse of $230,000 a cut was made to .$80,000. In 1923 approxim- ately 190 mil^ of .highway were built. This year there would be about li)5 miles. Under the U.F.O. regims there was a Forestry Depart- ment for the purpose of beautifying the highway and for this department there were nine legal gentlemen en- gaged. While beautiful highways were all right he did not think the country could afford this extrava- gance and the department was prac- itically cut out, and left in the hands I of one lady who looked after the legal I end of it. He also instanced other ways in which economies had been practised, 'and said that others would be shown in the budget next session. Hon. Arthur Meighen spoke for an hour and ten mnutes and covered a lot of ground. His aPi-aignment of the King government was a strong one. He was introduced by Hon. Edmund Bristol of Toronto in a short enlogistic speech. Mr. Meighen call- ed the government at Ottawa the Crerar-King government. He said this government had appointed 23 commissions which had cost this country so far $200,000. He criti- cised the shipping regulations, which the government were obliged to re- scind and also had to give American ' shipping companies a bond of indem- nity in order to get them to renew their activity in carrying Canadian grain on the lake.^. Some members of the government had resigned be- cause they could not follow King in his folly. Some were sick, he said, and some were sicker still, and some were gone, and the government re- sembled a clinging vine after the oak had fallen. Financial questions were not discussed to any great extent, but he declared that Canada was really in debt 8200,000,000 more than when the present government came to power. Mr. King had declared that when iie came to power h^ found the country in an awful financial mess, but Mr. Fielding, hi;; Minister of Finance, had staled the country was in as good or better financial condi- ton than any other country which came through the war. In order to show a surplus the King government had raised money by guarantee in- stead of borrowing in the usual way for the National Railways. It was like sending your little boy to the bank for the money and guaranteeing his note. He did not so much blanie the principle but should not be hidden from the public in order to make political capital. Mr. Meighen threw a bouquet to our lady M.P. by saying that he ventured to say that if she had formed her political opinions after, instead of before, entering parliament, she would to-day be a strong supporter of the Liberal-Con- servative party. The speaker dealt with depopulation, claiming that the great country to the south naturally drew our 8rti.sans away, and the only way to combat that was to keep our manufacturing industries going at full strength. The King policy did not do that. Fielding and Gouin had resigned because they had no faith in a free trade policy. He claimed tha\ to-day agricultural implements were actually higher than when the King government came into power. He said Mr. King had put on a sale tax, and then rescinded it again, which left things as they were. In the last few months 24 farm imple- ment factories had closed, and half of the men employed are gone. Are you proud of it?, he asked. Out of 70,000 textile workers half are out of work or on part time. Thirty wooll- en or textiVj factories had; closed their doors. Some of our textiles were being made in Germany. His policy was for the good of the whole, â€" not the U. S. hole. He advocated the same poliay for all Canada â€" not one policy for Ontario, another for Quebec, another for Western Pro- vinces, etc. He wanted to help the boys to stay on the farm. He stood on the solid National Policy founda- ton on which Sir John A. Macdonald stood, and on the rock on which the Conservative party stood at the last election. His policy had not chang- ed. He charged tha Liberal party vvith having betrayed their own policy in Older to get the support of the Progressives, and retain power, which they held on suft'erance. The huge gathering of about 6,000 people was very orderly and enthus- iastic. The counties of Grey, Simcoe and DufTerin were well represented at the big gathering. The park was decorated appropriately and the Mem- orial Plot was in e.xcellent shape for the event and reflected great credit to the ladies who had prepared it for^he event. The Memorial is enclosed with a neat iron railing which was erected last year. After the pro- gram a basket picnic was held by almost everybody in thvs beautiful surroundings of the Park before re- turning to their homes. o e SIX HILL STORES Q We buy together in order lh«t 4Q| our cuatotner* in the tiz oom- 9 RMinitiee mexmoterially ben- Q eflt individually.

The Maxwell boys have been playing good football this year and played a fine game at the garden party. Most of the players are young fellows and with a bit more practice should soon make the best of them hustle to win. This year the team has improved im- mensely since a year ago and big things are expected from the club next season. The players at Swinton Park were: Goal, Wm. Kerton; Back, H. Betts, S. Seeley; Half Back, Wm. Seeley, Edgar Betts, R. J. Morrison; Forwards, A. Morrison, J. Bracken- bury, J. Davidson, Wm. Morrison and E. Whight. Practice and home games are held in Mr. Levi Pallister's field at Ma.\well. SOME MORE BIG YIELDS OF WHEAT Since publishing the wheat yield of Mr. Jus. Porteous of the 8th line, .-\rtemesia, last week in which he had a heavy»yield of fifteen loads off eight acres, other records have been brought to our notice which are astonishing. The one holding the record now is Mr. James Ottewell of the 12th line, Osprey, he having harvested 17 good large loads off four acres, the land having been suninierfallowed. The next i.s Mr. Thomas Sled of Flesher- ton who also summer fallowed six acres and harvested one of the larg- est crops in his experience, 17 loads off six acres. Mr. Sled says that he used twenty pounds of twne to cut the six acres, and as one ball weighs on an average about 2V4 pounds it can be seen that the crop was no average one. Mr. John Otte- well Sr., of the 10 line, Osprey, had 21 loads off 9 acres. None of these have threshed as yet, but they expect that the crop will run to between 40 to 50 bushels to the acre.
