said, that the scattering returns
which have reached here indicate
that reciprocity has been defeated"
This was the presidents only COM

disappointment that he felt at the de-
feat of his favorite policy. For sew
eral minutes his eyes remained on

TO RESTOCk
Ohio With Quail At An Early
Date

State Fish and Game Commissioner
John c. Speaks proposes to restock
Ohio with quail. In the northern and
northwestern section, where these
birds have been practically extinct for
some years, ne will plant coveys from
the districts where they are pentiful.
Under his direction they will be
trapped and shipped to farmers, who
have given him assurance that they
will be fed and sheltered throughout
the winter months.
Their extinction in the northern part
of the tate is not due to slaughter, but
to extensive farming, which has des-
troyed their places OF habitation.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 22.-By majori-
ties which leave no doubt as to the
opposition of Canadians to the Taft
reciprocity measure, the Laurier gov
erhment was defeated at the polls.
The opposition has completely turned
the tables ON Premier Laurier, whose
majority in the house Of commons
at dissolution was 49, The COM
bined opposition of the majority will
be probably 43. The figures in
the Twelfth parliament will probably
be 1872 Conservatives and National
lists and SO Liberals.
The Nationalists cut a poor figure,
electing only two. r. l.. Borden, the
next prime minister, will therefore
have big majority of his own kind
Of straight Conservatives back of
him, and all the speculation about
the activities of the Nationalists in
the next parliament goes for naught.
The Liberals lost practically all along
the line.
Even the west provides its disap-
pointments. Returns from the west
are incomplete, but returns from the
east are practically complete.
No one is more surprised than the
victors themselves. The defeat ends
Sir Wilfrid Lauriers career. He is
in Quebec, and there is much specu-
lation here among his lieutenants as
to what he will do. The consensus
of opinion is that he will not assume
the leadership of the opposition, but
will retire to private life.

 Yes, the Orient dominates the fashions.
 The style artists could not resist the quaint and garlsh, unique and barbaric modes worn by the India princesses1 and potentates- and the modi- fled results show in the Fall styles of 1911.
 But modification though we retain that which is rich and refined-even daring we have carefully avoided the gaudy and garish. Glittering, ornate, barbaric splendor has its place, but not for the gentle women of Birmingham.
 Our lavish displays of mod ish outer apparel-coats, suits, wraps, gowns, elicit much favorable comment. Then, too, there are the new trimmings, dress goods and all dress ac- cessOrles.
