THliKisTON, Associate Editor «••*••»• I EDITORIAL iSOTES Another milestone in Britain's long history of "Mistress of the Seas" was commenced this Wednesday with the sailing of the fine new ship, the Queen Mary. It is hoped that it will bring back the Atlantic speed record to the Union Jack. « • * This Thursday the Liberal-Conser vative party is forming a new plat- form and choosing a new leader at n convention being held in Toronto. The deliberations of the convention are being watched with great interest by thousands of Ontario citizens due to the party's expected declaration of opposition to Premier Hepburn's re- cent change of the Assessment Act. * * • The towns of Bothwell and Inger- soll are not forgetting that horses *nd buggies of visiting people from the country require to be taken care of. Bothweil set apart a space for the parking of buggies, and Ingersoll is putting in hitching posts. The buggy is still an institution not to be despised, and the horse is still a val- uable animal, ready and willing to more than earn his board. * • • The escapade of "Red" Ryan, on parole from a life sentence in Kings- ton penitentiary, in holding up a Samia liquor store and killing a policeman should be a lesson that gun- men should not receive any sympathy from those who administer justice. Ryan proved himself to be a cold- blooded murderer and his disregard ot his pledged word may have a serious effect on further paroles. He was never molested by the police since he left the penetentiary and it was thought that he was agair finding an honored place in society. It was a great shock to his fricrnjs who be- lieved his declarations that he was throcgh with crime for life. • * • Since Miss Macphail, M.P., set out to classify the fM>rsonal charms of budding fellow menibeis, in an effort to relieve the tedium that comes from long speeches, there has been all kinds of hilarity in Parliament and out of it. Now the poets have enter- ed the list'. An Owen Sound rhyni. ster breaks loose in the Toronto Stai as follows: Here's to the youthful M.P., Mr Massey, Whom "our" Miss Macphail thinks so handsotne and classy. Though he thinks more of duty Than he does of his beauty, One values opinions expressed by that Ussie. Piesbyterial W.M.S. Met At Priceville The annual mooting of Orange- vllle I'resbyterial \V. M.

'«0?ni: FIND OUT If every commodity purchased and every bill received for anything, could bear on its face a note stating the amount of the total charge repres- enting taxes, paid at one point or an- other in thp process of production and distribution, it would not take long for the general i-iin of people, who im- agine that taxes are paid only by the rich, to realize that they are carrying a tax burden even heavier in pro- portion to their means.

THE FURROW'S END LEONARD UAR»\AN ii^SS^isas^aB SPRING STORM In contrast with a persistant cool- ness of late, this day has been unbear- ably hot; one of those scorching breeze that seem to pour like acid into the very tisues of the human frame and leave one drugged and ber- eft of ambition. A threatening haze, more like the smokiness of spring, hav overhung the landscape. All after- noon it has been suspected as a por- tent of rain. Now, as evening approaches, dark clouds gather, casting gloom every- where. Suddenly they obscure the sun. Within the breast of man is a tinge of fearful foreboding, a feeling akin to that of our superstitious prim- eval ancestors who sought among themselves my^erious explanations for eclipse or earthquake. T^oday we turn on electric lights to offset the dark but only do so with an involun- tary shudder. In a moment a strong gale rocks the elms, roaring through their tops. It ceases as abruptly as it began to be followed by an intense calm, im- pressive in its silence. The rain comes, first with a dull hum as it ap- proaches across the distant fields, thei SHINGLES with the steady patter of myraid drops upon crisp shingles. It is a relief to know that the storm has broken upon ua, its occurrence less disturbing than its announcement- Like Peter McArthur, I seem to hear a murmur other than that of the falling rain. "It is full of the thanks- giving of the grass and of the leaves that are held up like cupped palms to catch the reviving shower." Athirst for warm moisture, ten million folded buds open to spread forth as foliage. The sun appears again with as little Cgremony as that with which it was hidden. On every inch of wire in the fence there hangs a jewel of the first water, sparkling until it drops to earth or is absorbed by air as thirsty as soil or living plants. A farther row of elms stands in relief against the skyline. There is a freshness, a new greeness everywhere. If April showers bring May flowers, what do May showers bring? There is a clearing of the air, a release of nervous tension. There is a reminder of the forces of nature still unharn- essed, uncontrolled. But there is a growth and a promise of growth, new life and a promise of new life more abundant. Clears $3.45 per sq. 2nd Clears $2.95 per sq.

July Mrs. A. McDermid Dies After an illness of over three years, Mrs. A. A. McDermid died on Satur- day evening. May 16 at her home near Priceville. Tile late Mrs. McDermid was the tUuiK'hter of Mr. and Mrs. John Mc- I'hail, who came from Scotland and weie pioneers of the Priceville dis- trict. .Mrs. McDermid was seventy-four Cattle Exports to U. S. Canada sold the United States ap- proximately 103,000 head of cattle durng 1935, the largest number in many years, and in addition moved across the border approximately 21,000 head of calves, the largest number of that class since 1930. There were also approximately 6,000,000 lbs. of beef sold to the United States in 1935, as against approximately 330,000 pounds in 1934. Exports to the United States since the 1st of January, 1936, up to mid- March have been more moderate than (luring the corresponding period of 1935 and have been made at somewhat lower price levels. This situation is reflected in the domestic prices in Canada. Late in February, order- bought cattle were going forward to Great Britain in moderate volume, with bookings to the extent of be- tween 2,500 and 3,000 head extending to the middle of April. The outcome of these shipments will not necessarily ileterniine the direction of export movements during the rest of the years of age and lived for forty years in Toronto.
