Waterloo Member NO ELECTION THIS YEAR SAYS HOMUTH Premier Henry‘s recent announceâ€" ment that an election would be held in "the not too distant future" has created considerable stir lmong thtfi g'hctmbe in North and Sou aterloo. The Chronicle learned from President D. G. Mcintosh, K.C., and Secretary W. J. Mcâ€" Gibbon of the North Waterloo Conâ€" servative ‘Association that no conâ€" vention would be held for the present. An election in October is predicted . by some lending poliâ€" ticians, while others believe Premier Henry has no intention of appealâ€" ing to the Ontario electorate this years Dr. W. L. Hilliard, president of the Liberal Association, when interâ€" viewed dyenterday. stated the execuâ€" tive had not discussed the question of a convention. As regards to Fmbable candidates, he stated he niad no statement to make at this time. Candidates Mentioned. W. G. Weichel, former Mayor of Waterloo, and who served several terms in the Ontario Legislature and a term in the Dominion Parliaâ€" ment, is prominently mentioned as a possible Conservative candidate. Among others who m;}y be nominâ€" ated is Dr. J. E. ett, former Mayor of Kitchener. . o Conventions May Be Held in Near Future.â€"S. C. Tweed Will Again Seek Nomination. Ww. G. WEICHEL OR DR.

Bezeau, formâ€" er Mayor of Kitchener. Karl K. Homuth, former member for South Waterloo, when interâ€" viewed yesterday expressed | the opinion that there would be no Ontario election this year, stating it would be unwise to bring it on now as it would interfere with business recovery. _ Premier Henry‘s anâ€" nouncement that an election would be held in the "comparatively near future" did not mean that it would be this fall, but probably about June next year. 8. _ Believes Premier Henry Will Appeal to Electorate in 1934. Marked Business Imâ€" provement. Business conditions, states Mr. Homuth, are gradually imgrovinf in Canada as well as in the United States. Protection given the texâ€" tile industries by the Federal Government has resulted in a disâ€" tinct improvement in these indusâ€" tries _ throughout _ Canada. _ The woollen mills in Waterloo County, including his own mills, have reâ€" ceived substantial orders enabling the employment of many: hands. Mr. Homuth, who has been active in the interests of the Moderation League in Ontario, commented on the proposal to sell beer and light wines in hotels. To bring this about legislation must be approved by the government. If a nc w liquor system is put into effect it should embody the best points in the g‘resem. act and that of Quebec. The manuâ€" facture of liquor is legal and this being so there should be no reâ€" striction on advertising by the government. _ Mr. Homuth, who has represented the south riding in the Legislature for several terms, and who is prominently mentioned as the next Conservative candidate, declined to state whether he would consider nomination if offered to him.

The showers of rain the past week in this particular district will do much to help growth of roots, corn and pasture. _ ~ . In the St. Jacoba district several farmers stated that wheat was a good average trop in their district while oats were short and sutm nearly all gone. Apsle- and raspâ€" berries were also affected by the prolonged heat wave causing apples to fall before ripening. One farmer who goes in for fruits and truck gardening, expressed the opinion that ‘with apple treea not too heavily loaded would mean a better grade apple in the fall. Early rugberrieu dried up on the bushes, while the later pickings were helped by rain. He said he would have less than half a crop of this luscious fruit. . In Woolwich township in the Conestogo district farmers hope to harvest a fair crop of oats, whifia the wheat yield is good. Roots, corn and pasture are much immproved by late rains. Owing to the continued drought, farmers in many cases are short of pasture and feeding cattle in the stable. As a .consequence milk and cream supplies have deâ€" creased _ without a â€" consequent strengthening of butter prices. o ‘TWINâ€"CITY BOYS HELD | PENDING RECOVERY } â€" OF CHINAMAN In Wellesley township, wheat on the whole is an average crop,~oats below average, while roots and corn promise a good yield.. The potato crop is helped by the recent rains and will be a fair yield. Crops on Whole Fair, According to county g{gflcult\u‘al representative E. I. cLoughry, crops in some sections are much better than farmers at first exâ€" pected, and taken as a whole are quite fair. â€" â€" _ 80 Wheat has been harvested and in most places is a normal crop. Oats is ripening fast and cutting will commence soon. In some pfrts oats will show a good yield, but in most districts is quite a bit below averâ€" age. Rain seems to have been more general in the northern part of the county which promises a better yield than in the south. The condition of Jim Sing, Chinese restaurant emiloyee at Sault Ste. Marie, struck on the head by an unknown assailant, reâ€" mained critical and doctors believe he will not recover.
