THURSTON, Aiiaociate Editor GOD SAVK THIS KING ' The past week has developed a tieriou!) tragedy within the British -Jlinpire. King Kdward has abdicated and a new king reigiig in his steao. We believe no other country in thfc world could have gone through so ! nieni to be held in the church on Tues- home of .Mrs. Chas. Roland. In the uusenCf of the President, Mr. Lundy Johnson, Mr.s. Dolun presided and was in charge of the program. Mr. Har. iiUi iluttoii gave a reading, Mrs. C. Bolaiid a solo and Miss Morrison was in charge of the contest. Mrs. H. I. Graham gave the topic. Arrange- ments were made to take a sleigh load party to Kimberley on Wednesday night. The December meeting of Vande- leiur Woman's Association was held at the home of Mrs. T. Shannon. Mrs. Hutchinson presided and the annual election of officers resulted in the officers of liKSG being returned to of- fice for lii;i7. Mrs. Shannon then served a sumptuous fowl dinner fol- lowing the program. Arrangements are being made for the annual Christmas tree entertain- grave an experience with so little disturi>ance t<> the social structure a^ . has our empire in its seven days of travail. If a saner and more hon- orable ideal is born of the events w« have just passed through it will, while painful, not have been in vain. One Worth-while lesson we will have learn- ed: The British people can be depend- ed on where the sanctity of the home is concerned. They have no use for the loose morals of our American cousins and their indifference to mar. riage vows. It is safe to say that divorce as it exists in the United States will never find a place in Bri- tish law and practice. We have also day evening of next week, December 22nd. Supper will be served in the basement after which a good program will be provided in the auditorium. There will be a Christmas tree and Santa is expected to be present. The children especially are looking for- ward to a good time. Mr. A. B. Buchanan of Toronto spent a few day.s at his home here lecently. Mr. and Mrs. Dolan and Mary vis- ited with Mr. and Mrs. Lawson of Kuphrasia one day recently. Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Graham spent the first of the week with friends at Shrigley. Mrs. Cargoe spent last week at Mount Albert and Toronto. Mrs. J. M.

Several English bishops have sev- erely castigated the late monarch and llis friends for their straying from the paths of rectitude and have called down anathema upon their heads. We <lo not know all the facts and probably never will, but we know enough to make us satisfied that our late mon- arch attempted something that the British people could not condone, and] In doing so defied the law? of God as well as of his country and that was week end visitors with Mr. J.

Livestock Report (By Dunn & Levack, Toronto) On Monday the cattle market was active and prices steady to strong on all classes of good cattle and cows, while those of medium quality held steady. Choice heavy steers brought from $5-75 to $6.26; fair to good from $4.7» to |u.50; common and medium $a.50 to $-1.50. • Best butchers ranged from 4.76 to $5.25; fair to good from „• . . , .» ,'c'' ZtZ %i lo $4.60; common and medium $3 guff icient to make it necessary for him „ ,' , , u • . i» vj- . T> 4 u / -ii to $4. Baby beeves of choice quality to abdicate. But say what we will, <•" ^ • ' the whole thing has •x'cn most path- etic and the downfall of an idol most poignant to contemplate. From what we have learned of the new king, we believe a new idol has arisen, whom we can follow as an ex- ample, and whom we can gladly ac- claim as all that is honornl)le and up- Tight and as a protector of marriage integrity and spiritual purity, and also for whom wo can all with great sin- cerity utter the national prayer. "God Save the King." ."niTORlAL NOTES A despatch from Ottawa -says the Prime .Minister left his bed before daylight in order to change a few adjectives in his t!anadian message to King Edward VI. Telegraphy must be chea{) when such a trivial af- fair would find si)ace in the new.s. Do they mean to say the Prime Mir* ister is not accustomed to early ris ing? Why, up in this agricultura. section of Canada all farmers do half a day's work before daylight and say nothing about it. All our rulers should visit Us and learn how it's done and see what it feels like to get out of their beds before iliniier time. * • • Our remarks of last week criti- cizing the service given us by our Radio Commission struck a popular chord. One Toronto lady writes us as follows. "1 t-ertainly appreciated .i'our remarks about the radio in thi.'^ week's Ksue. It is the way 1 have felt all along. I think it is time something was done about it," An added bitttn pill to swallow is the fact that during the stirring events of last week wc all wer« oblig«d to rely on a Unile<l States broadcasting system and a private Canadian sta- tion to pet the abdication story. It was a humiliating situation.

The calf trade held sliady. choice from $9 to $!).5I); fair to good from $8 to $9; common to medium $5.50 to $7. Supplies of hogs were heavy and Monday's sales were made on the basis of from $8 to $8.15 for truck deliveries. The market closed weak and it will depend entirely upon sup- plies for the lialaiice of the week, as to what will take place. While ther^ may be a temporary decline, it is ex- pected price* will recover quickly. During the next week or so, the cattle market will n<>t l)e very active, on account of the Christmas trade for poultry, but immediately aftur (Christ- mas, sonu! improvement is expected, due to the fact that Canadian cattle will again benefit by a H'duced tariff for shipment to the United States.

From a tangle of astronomical advice on the subject we gather that the moon and everything elso for that matter, must Be in perfect position to attain the appulse, in other words, it is a real fete of celestial sharpshooting. If, as and when cars start travelling 200 miles on a gallon of gasoline, we have an idea provincial governments will start working on increased levies on the commodity.

Ty- phoid fever is one illustration. Twenty- flve or thirty years aKO. it was not uncommon for cities to have death rates from typhoid ranging as hi;;h as 60 or 75 deaths out of every lOO.OOO livlnK persona; to-day, ii is almost a disgrace for a city to have a death rate of more than one or two per lOO.(X)i), and in many cities rat»>s for typhoid for the last year were less than one. Y'ellow fever is another plague of a generation or two ago when whole cities were quarantined IxH-ause of it. Diphtheria, the killer of children a few years ago. is to-day bci-omiug a rare disease. Many communities have not bad a death or even a case of diphtheria In several years, thanks to modem methods of Immunization against this disease. Smalli)ox. that scourge and terror of our forefathers, is now seldom heard of. And so it gtx«. these dread diseases which once decimated the population, are now practically eliminated. Tuberculosis is still far from being conquertHi, but it is cncouraKiag to note that more progress has been made in conquering this enemy during the first tliirty-flve years of this century tlian in all the centuries that went before. The death rate in Ontario in 19O0, shortly after the National Sanitarium Associa- tion was organized, was estimated at 180 per lOO.(XX). To-day it i« 37. It is a splendid showing and with the f;oal in sight we ho{K'fuliy enter the last ap of the race, but as everyone knows, the last lap calls for the greatest effort and if we are to succ«<xl iii gaining the complete ma.stery over this plague as has been gained over others, we must strive as never l>efore.
