Flesherton was unable to take a full team to Markdale last Wednesday, due to several of the players having to study for examinations t b*- held next day, and were forced to default the game. Markdale supposed the locals were refusing to play due to the disagreement in the first schedule. „.^....^ ..... .. lbs, we get them along with the outgrowth ot the depression, but the League Executive decided tliat .^elts.

" In embarrassed explanation the Liberal stalwart said he would have recognized the Prime Minister had he been in his own seat. He ap- parently sees his leader from only one angle and out of focus be be- comes a stranger. It would seem in place to suggest a Liberal "get- together". The cost T^uld be money well spent.

When the new buildings were erected, a large room on the ground floor across the corridors from the back of the Commons was designed for the common-room.

Other countries seemed to have got our share this winter. We had lots of snow and little frost. I was out fishing to-day. and got 5 dozen smults.

The details of the Trade treaty oc- cupied a good part of the week. In a way it seemed wasted time since the treaty is already signed and in operation. Mr. Coldwell. of Sask- atchewan, charged that the companies manufacturing farm implements were selling them more cheaply abroad than at home, which he considered was bonusing the competitors of our ' own farmers and he moved that the duty which was cut by the treaty from 25 per cent to 12 '-a jier cent should be eliminated. His motion was ruled out on the ground that a private member had not such author- ity and that anyhow the agreements i-annot be changed, in view of which the long debate on the subject seems ineffective. -Mr. King said he would use what influence he had with the Minister cf Finance (Mr. Dunning) to see if he could not induce him to still further reduce the tariff on farm implements My guess is Mr. Dunning will not be influenced in that direction. This were OUT. We did not see Chats- worth thrown out when they did not play with Dundalk here the week pre- vious and did not even inform anyone they were not coming.

He went on to warn us against pessimism, -saying that the social cynic wa.s of no earthly good to any- one but the "real optimism is the bas- is of every human activity; it admits the danger of realization but dares to hope."
