The following paragraph is taken from an obituary notice in the Journal-Argus of .St. Marys: "An in- cident that occurred twenty-five years ago illustrates the type of man Mr. Lofft was. A fire occurred in his store and a lot of stock was destroyed. An insurance adjuster came up from Toronto and made a settlement with Mr. Lofft, which appeared to him to be fair. But nearly a year later, when Mr. Lofft had completed his an- nual stock-taking he contluded that the insurance people had allowed him too much and he sent the company a cheque for fifteen hundred dollars. The fire insurance company had never in its long history, an experience of that kind, and scarcely knew where tn credit the money on Uietr booTis. The incident was known only to a few at the time, but we can be pai'doned for mentioning it now to illustrate a phavse of Mr. Lofft's character. Confidence and courage are the ( i- .scntials of success in meeting tht prt.-ent economic difficulties. Too much alcohol in the mixture makes the motor get hot. And it has that effect on a party, tpo. Japan quit the League of Nations and is concerned now about how many Leagues the Nations will allow her to proceed in China. Congratulations are extended to Mr. and .Mrs. W. J. Bellamy on the celebration on Sunday of their 49th wedding anniversary. Miv,. R. Bentham visited in Toront-; last week. Her daughter, Mrs. Len. Hill, returned with her and will spend the Easter holidays here. The Artemesia Scarlet Chapter will meet in the Fraternal Hall, Flesher- ton, on P^riday evening, April 14 at 8 p.m. G. Banks, W. C, C, W, Turney, Scribe. Mrs. Edith Hammond, D. D. G. M- of Grey Disti'ict, O.E.S., paid her of- ficial visit to Grey Chapter No. 170 on Monday evening, when there was a large attendance of members. A ba.'iquet was served by the ladies at the clo,se. , j,^ f^.g^ Mrs, Martin Phillips returned to her home here on Monday, af^er spending the winter with her daugh- ter in Toi'onto. She was accompan- ied by her daughter, Mrs. Buntz, ol Detruit, who will remain with her fni a month. We have received a communication sig-nod "Ratepayer," dealing with the taxation question. The winter no gli'cted to give us hid name and if he will supply this deficiency we will bo ])leascd to print his letter. The name must be supplied with all 2^n - municalions, not for publication, tut U; a matter of good faith. Mr. Fred McTavish of Regina paid i. flying visit on Friday to his par- ents here. Fred was in Toronto with the Ucgina Pats, runneri-up for the Memorial Cup, won by Newmarket. He left for home Saturday night, along with the team. We were pleas- ed to have a chat with Fred for a few moments. He is with the Gen- eral Motors at Regina and appears as though the west was agreeing with him. During the week Mr. P. G. Davies, Corservative member for Athabasca, Alta., made a strong speech against the gold standard. He argued that gold waj too scarce to be a safe base for currency and that it was not equitably distributed. He .suggested that if currency cannot be increased without an increase in gold base, the logical thing to do would be to put the unemployed to mining gold. I have often said the same thing, so am com- forted to hear Mr. Davies agree with mc. The solution really lies in ab- nndonir.g gold as a basis of currency. It is noteworthy, too, that the Hon. Charles Stewart, in his speech on the budget, came out in support of con- trolled inflation. cd, including the construction of hous- es, etc.; (d) Insure more equitable distribu- tion of the national income through well-considered methods of taxaVion and the legislative control of interest, profits and investment. (e) Nationalize our insurance sys- tems, including the establishment of such systems of social insurance as may be necessary for the protection and well-being of our people." I was sorry to have mi-5sed writing last week, bufthe flu kept me a pris- oner in a Toronto hotel and there just was not anything I could do about it.

The debate on penitentiaries was one such interruption. The recent riots, the appointment of many new officials and the government resolu- tion seeking to take the chief peniten- tiary appointments away from the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Com niisoion, have aroused a much-needed interest on the part of the public in the penal system. Many years ago when Mr. C. J. Doherty was Minister of Justice, a Royal Commission was appointed which studied carefully penal systems in English speaking countries and on the basis of their study made recom- mendations. Had these recommen- dations been carried out the riots, I believe, would not have occurred and certainly the two moving stories told in the House this week by General Ross, the member for Kingston, and the Hon. -Hugh Guthrie, Minister of Justice,' would never have had foun- dation in fact. General Ross said: "There is something at the bottom of all this trouble and I have repeatedly pointed out what I think it is. Let me illustrate. On one occasion a boy 15 years of age, and wearing knee breeches, was brought in to the peni- tentiary accompanied by a six-footer. What was the trouble? Thi-s man had arrived at the boy's home on the Bay of Quinte; the boy knew no crime, no WTong. It is truo that his father was not all he should have '^een, but the boy had never gone wrong. He had a dog and a sleigh, and the man coaxed him one day to hitch the dog to the sleigh and come along with him. The boy escorted the man across the Bay to a summer camp and some- thing was stolen from it. Along with this man that 15 year old boy was sent to Portsmouth Penitentiary for two or three year.i. When he arrived at the institution in those knee b'Vir'i'-'s he burst into tears. What was the reas- on ? 'I am afraid,' he said 'that no- body will feed my dog.' That boy knew no crime until he got into the penitentiary; now he is there on hir, fourth commitment and he standi to day as one of the ring leaders of this I iot. Who is responsible for -such a situation. " In the first place a boy of 15 should rot be sent to pentitentiary and in the second place a penitentiary should be run in a way to develop citizens, not "repeaters." It is said that every conviction costs the State $1,200; if that is so, the four commitments of this boy have cost the State much more than his education and develop ment would have. In August of li>31 a plot was un- covered in the Kingston Penitentiary and as a consequence seven or eight prisoners were seized and placed in "isolated cells." This means soli- tary confinement and usually very poor food. They were allowed to re- main in these cells until General Ormond arrived twelve months later. Can we wonder that men act as brutes if they are treated as brutes? A MINIATURE CALF When it come.; to producing dimin- utive stock John Lark, who lives IV2 miles southwest of the C.N.R. depot hero, has everything his own way and the latest arrival oh his ranch, in the form of a calf, had such a novelty feature to it that the proprietor had occasion to put into u-3e his weights and measures to complete the recoras. The dwarf calf when a week old had the pattern of a jack rabbit in its mould, being but 25 lbs. in heft, when the normal weight is 75 lbs., while its height was 18 inches and its length 22, which makes it the smallest off- spring in the cattle class ever known in this district. The m.other of the new arirval tips the scales at 1,250 lbs., while its father is a hefty sire, thus showing that it doesn't inherit its diminutivenes-3 from either parent. â€" Walkeron Herald and Times. Sale Prices lo 1919 A subscriber left us the following clipping from a Sun of fourteen years ago and we are reprinting it to show the difference in farme prices prevail- ing in March 1919, as compared with those of to-day; "W. D. Weir & Son and Geo. Glass, auctioneers, conducted one of the most successful sales ever held in this district on Thursday last for Mr. S. J. Miller. The sale totalled $9,000. Nine brood sows sold for 1901; and the 25 pigs sold for S2,287; purebred cows sold at from $100 to $207 each and one 6 months' old brought $80. Eight matured grade cows averaged $142.50 each, while the heifers coming in brought as high at $138 each. Four colts, one rising 2, two rising 3 and one rising 4 years old, brought $787. The 10 horses and colts sold averaged $156 each. Mr. Miller is to be congratulated on the quality and condition of the stock offered and on the splendid way in which he managed the sale. Besides what was sold Mr. Miller reserved about $3,000 worth of stock, grain, etc., which as not offered. â€" ^Milverton Sun. FOR SERVICE Reg.

Tarns- Jersey Bull TO KEEP FLOWERS FRESH If the stems are of the hard, woody variety, split the ends for a distance of an inch and a half. Clip off a small bit of the stem of each flower every day. A teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of soda dissolved in the water will help to prolong their life. A small piece of charcoal helps to purify the water. Roses require Very cold water to keep them fresh and for that reason they should be placed in a bowl or vase of generous capacity as a small quantity of water will become warmer sooner than a larger one. Change the water twice a day or often-er if necessary, though not cold enough to freeze. ♦♦^♦»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»«»»»»»»»»»»»»fr«»»<.».>^»«»».>»»" Small Advts.
