Tories Break Record of 100 Years. | â€" Not in more than a hundred years has any British governâ€" men secured such an overwhelming majoritv as the National| Government will have in the new Hous> of Commons. This standing gives the government a total of 518 seats against 49 for the combined opposition parties, even including among them the two independents and the Lloyd Georgian Liberals. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald himself had the hardâ€" est fight for reâ€"election, but he was successful with 5,951 majority. â€" The Labor Party of Great Britain was swept under‘ an avalanche of National Government voters in Tuesday‘s general election. The first returns to an early hour Wednesday morning covered less than half of the total membership of the Hous? of Commons. But they presaged a disaster for Labor more complete than has struck any political party in many years. Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, their leader, is defeated. At 4 a.m. Wednesday the Canadian Press reported election of 288 members out of 615. The Government total was 262 and the Opposition only 24, with two Independents. The Government‘s majority of those elected is 236, and the Conservative majority over all in the returns to date is 156. Conservatives have gained over 100 seats and lost none. At dissolution they held 263. Retaining only the seais they held then, the Conservatives will have an easy majority over all, counting in their huge gains.

The three Salford seats, mll Labor in the last House, are now all Conservative, and one of the deâ€" feated Laborites was A. W.

Pavid Lloyd George‘s (xou)i‘ tion Government in 1919. The deâ€" feat of Labor had been expected generally. But nobody expected such an overwhelming disaster for the Opposition.

Of thirteen fires in nine days, which led to the suspiclon thit a firebug was abroud, the Fire Marchal said his inâ€" vestigators are now suspicious of only five. In these five cases incenâ€" diarism is suggested, but there is nothing to indicate that an irresponâ€" .Aible firebug had gone about setting blazes for the pure delight of watchâ€" ing them. 13 Barn Fires In Wellesley District Last Fall At least seven of the 13 fires which occurred last autumn in Wil mot, North Easthope and South Easthope townships were of mysteriâ€" ous origin. Inquiry into the uumerâ€" ous conflagrations is prompted by the statement, credited to James Mcâ€" Connell, who was arrested near Greensville, during the ninth fire TAMBLYN‘S, DRUGGISTS, FINED $200 in that district, believed to have been of incendiary origin.

A fine of $200 and costs was ordered by Magistrate Emerson Coastworth at Toronto, who heard the trial. In the case which came before the court on October 7, the comâ€" pany wias charged with false adverâ€" tising. _ The â€" advertisement | had stated: "This coupon and 98 cents will purchase one of our Kimberley rings. Bring this coupon and 98 cents to any one of our three drug stores listed below and receive a lady‘s or gentleman‘s ring originâ€" ally sold for $5. You save cxactly $4.02." â€" There had to be a conviction, Magistrate Coatsworth said, followâ€" ing the charge and the evidence. The advertisement was sufficient to warrant a conviction in view of the evidence of the customs man who had testified that the rings were adâ€" mitted into Canada at a value of 64 cents apiece. â€" _ Assistant Crown Attorney W. O. Gibson brought to the attention of the court the fact that there had been a previous conviction against the company for a like offence. Big Crowd At Plowing Match At Strasburg R. G. Brown of Galt, Norman Marshall, Blair, Chas. Mallett and Foster Snider First Prize Winners in First Four Classes. Tractor Event Won by Laverne Cook, Preston, Max Becker, Kitchener, and Ed. Eby, Breslau. A beautiful fall day brought out an unusually large crowd of farmâ€" ers on Wednesday at the annual Waterloo Township plowing match held at the farm of ;’lorman Holtzâ€" hauer at Strasburg. Counter plowâ€" ing matches held at Puslinch and Brant, the same day, were reâ€" sponsible for keeping down the number of entries in the various classes and as a result the compeâ€" tition was not as keen as other years. m â€" â€" The premier prize, the silver cup for the best plowed land, horseâ€" drawn plow, was won by Norman Manhufi of Blair. In 1929 and 1930 it was won by Roy Marshall. The first prize in the tractor event went to L. Cook of R. R. No. 2, Preston; second prize to â€" Max Becker, R. R.

Conservatives pf South Waterloo, he continued, had not planned to hold ay political meetings.
