Readers in the municipalities of Fltshcrton and A temesia should hear in mind that tho rWtinn of munici- pal representatives for the year 1930 has heev advanced one month. For Flesherton the nominations for Hi-eve anil councillors will be held on Monday next at 7 p.m.. th nomina- tion of school trustees taking place nt the same time. The nominations for Reeve, Deputy Reeve and councillors for Artemesia township an- to be made i.i the town hall, Flesher'.on, on Monday next betwen 1 and 2 p.m. The i.-iril r-pee?hifying will no doubt take place at both gatherings, and we would r.ct be surprised if there would be some "heckling." .But so far 'here has been very little talk regardling election prospects.

INSOMNIA Inability to sleep \n insomnia. Thta is u symptom which occurs in aomo diseaneii but in health it is chiefly a habit ilu to conditions which can bo corrected. Falling asleep is a habit. One is much more likely 'o go to sleep eas- ily rf there in regular hour to go to bed. Enough physical work or exer- cise should be taken during the day o that the body is physically tired at bd time. Over-fatigue however, tends to disturb sleep. Insomnia i caused, in many cases, by the individual's worrying about not being able to deep. There is no rea- son for worry. Lying quietly in bed even if not asleep, is rest, and if wor- ry about r..)t sleeping is banished from the mind, sleep will come nil the soon- er. Those who suffer from insomnia very often sleep much more than Jhink they do. They are worried and Which Way Will Please YOU? *!

"That woman,*' he said, after hearing the auctioneer's daughter and Sharon's teacher, "will go far." She has indeed travelled far since in 1921 she appeared in Ottawa. She is rapidly acquiring the art of re- straint in making her most effective points. Agnes MacPhail said never a word about her views on cadet raining 1 , or the criticism of her on that account. She paid a fine com- pact tribute to the outstanding states- men a. L . Geneva in September Ma> dunald and Cecil of Britain, Briand of France, and Streseman of Ger- many. She described Briand's quiet, matchless oratory, and summarized its climax, which avowed the impos- sibiiity of getting rid of the mentality which esuses people to rush into senseless wars, so lone: as thc chil- dren cf the nations are brought up to enjoy glamorous anticipations of war. Miss MacPhail M. P. was too astute to say that Briand was unanswer- ably stating the case against dressing school boys in military scarlet fur- nishing them with g'uns and general- ly permeating their minds with the sort of thing that used to attract .the yokel to the gaudy -ecruiting sergeant and thc binding shilling of the king. Confession is espc.-ially good for the political soi.l, \vhich seldom ad- mits that it has erred in judgment. There may be a larger courage than that of a member of Parliai-.ient ad- mitting mistakes, but it is noi easily found. A. MacPhail, M. P., has .t, womanfully. For example, she had the exceeding grace to confess that he opposition to the increase of the $4,000 per session it caused her to return the extra $1,500 was not far- sightoj; for she did not at first ap- preciate what he- parliamentary standing involved. She changed her attitude which was "not uncommon, rare im'.eed. She used to discount the League of Nations. Seeing it close up, she enlarged her r.iind end confessed the growth.

For the first time, apparently, she was proud to be a Britisher, without the faintest degree sacrificing her ardent devotion to Can- ada. The difference between statesman- ship and the sort, of thing which has too often and too long passed for politics, is as unmistakable as the difference between faith and credul- ity. It is indeed the difference be- ' 'ween Agnes Macphail, -M.P., and dozens of back-benchers one could name. That this precious quality re- sides so eminently in the pioneer's descendant who was teaching school near Lake Simcoe a few years ago is of precious omen for the service ren- dered for Canada by her daughters ar.d mothers in every corner of the land. in Toronto, Wesley Wiltshire of Proton was discharged from ens- tody when he appeared in the Pol- ice Court in Owen Sound on Thurs- day. A L-in-|Jar discharge was granted to Wilfred Beamish, of Mel- anc'hon, Jn tho court at Kitchen- er on Saturday, where he was held on a like accusation.

Just why he municipalities of the province should have to pay the cost of prc- pa -ing a lis! 1 for provincial elections is not very clear to U3. They already supply the nucleus of the list in the form of municipal voters' lists, and the province should pay for *he revi sion of this list, and not pass the cost on to the municipalities.
