.]rurumrar New.
The Republican journal., 1912-03-14

There appears to be two sides to the
Canadian reciprocity question, even in
Canada. In Winnipeg. March LIST, a
young Liberal member of the Manitoba
legislature declared that the action of
eastern Canada in defeating the reci-
procity plan showed its hostility to west
ern Canada, and that he would support a
resolution looking to the separation of
western Canada from the eastern part
of the Dominion. ''No greater blow"
said the member for La Verandrye, "has
ever been dealt western Canada than the
rejection of reciprocity. The people of
eastern Canada have deliberately set
themselves to injure western Canada,
and in the course of 10 years there will
be such an agitation in western Canada
against their binding acts that nothing
but separation will SUFFICE And his re-
marks were literally applauded by the
Liberal members.
On the other hand the Halifax, Nova
Scotia, Chronicle says:
'Seven and half million dollars ex-
pended in Halifax, or seventy and seven
and half million dollars, would be small
compensation for what Nova Scotia lost
when Reciprocity was defeated.
Free trade in natural products with
the United States would have doubled
the annual earnings of every farmer in
Nova Scotia and quadrupled the value of
every farm in this Province within few
years.
''And it would have done absolutely no
harm to Canadian manufacturing inter-
ests."
To this statement the Halifax Herald
takes exception. 1t says that the farm
ers Of Nova Scotia are not feeding the
people of Nova Scotia or half feeding
them; that the Nova Scotia home mar
kets for farm and dairy products are far
in excess of Nova Scotian production,
and asks: "What have Nova Scotian far
mers for export to the United States?"
Its contention would seem to be sustain
ed by the prices it quotes for farm and
dairy produce, which are higher than in
Belfast today. Butter, Sc cents a pound;
eggs, 40 cents dozen; beef and lamb,
20 cents; fowls, % cents; geese, "a, tur-
key, II cents pound; Spotatoes from 80
to 80 cents bushel, and other articles in
proportion.

sided here in good faith for more than one year
next prior to the date of this LIBEL that she has

E. White, age fourteen years. Ida E. White,
age twelve years; that since said marriage
your libelant has always conducted herself
towards her said husband as a faithful, chaste
and affectionate wife, but that the said lbelee

obligations, on or about September 18th, A. D.

consecutive years next prior to the filing of this
know the present residence of the lbelee and
cannot ascertain the same by reasonable dill
gence.

may be decreed divorce from the bonds of
matrimony now existing between her and the
said William B. White and that the custody of
said minor children may be given to her.

THE NORTH CHURCH SUPPER.
Castle North, X. o. X. A., Furnished the
Entertainment


The regular monthly church and parish
supper of the North church was served
in the dining room of the church Tuesday
evening, March 5th. A large committee
OF ladies. under the Craftsmanship of Mrs.
Z. o. Poor, served delicious supper of
chicken, escalloped clans, hot rolls,
cakes, pies and coffee. An unusually
large company of the people of the con-
gregatlon was present to enjoy the many
good things provided. The entertain
ment which usually follows these suppers
was given on this occasion in the vestry
by the boys of Castle North, No. 1853 K.
o. K. A. An interesting musical pro-
gram was given as follows.
Chorus. Upon King Arthur's Thorne
The Castle
Piano solo, Stephen Clement
Song, Silver Threads Among the Gold,
Mr.. Bert Davis and the Castle
Cornet solo, Roy Coombs
CConege song The Castle
Cornet solo, Roy Coombs
Chorus The Table Round is Full Tonight,
The Castle
Inc numbers were heartily applauded
and several responded with encores.
Then followed stereoptican talk by the
minister, assisted by Mr.. H. M. Prentiss,
who attended the lantern. Fifty pic
lures. showing scenes from the annual
camping trips Of. the boys of Castle North,
were thrown on the screen and described
at length. Many of the happy hours at
Camp North We're described, and stories
OF humorous incidents provoked much
laughter. The pictures were all taken
by the boys and by Mr.. Prentiss, and all
the slides for the lantern were made by
the latter. 1t was an enthusiastic COM
pany of people that listened to the pro-
gram and saw the pictures, judging from
the very favorable comments heard at
the close of the evenings entertainment.
Great credit is due to Mrs. Poor and her
excellent committee of ladies' for the
delicious supper, and to the boys of Castle
North for the program rendered, and
special credit is due to Mr.. H. M. Prem
tlss for his successful work with the lam
tern, and the many hours of toll prepar-
ing the slides for the lecture. The even
ing was surely great success.

A Winterport Mans Almanacs.

Mrs. Frank W. Haley of Winterport has a
valuable collection of almanacs. the Oldest of
which was printed by Isaac Bickerstaff, Bos-
ton, in 1858 The following quaint wording of
an advertisement written nearly las years ago,
appears on one of the pages: Boston. Nov.
19, 1857 Proposals for printing New Weekly
Paper, called The Boston Chronicle. Condi-
tions: 81. 1t will be printed on the very best
deny paper and on a new type, of both which
the large proposals are specimen. 2. 1t will
consist Of eight pages in quarto; each page to
be the same size of the large proposals. 3.
Although of an extraordinary size the price
will be no more than six shil!ings and eight
pence lawful, or fifty shillings old tenor. 4.
The paper will be printed regularly every
Monday. The first paper will be published
some time in December next, or sooner if q
sufficient number are subscribed for. s. Sub
scriptions from the country will be carefully
attended to and the papers sent with the ut
most regularity" Many of the almanacs con-
tain a journal kept by an ancestor Of Mrs
Haley and the almanac. printed in 1776, has
many interesting references to historic events
Of that period.-Kennebec Journal.

The silvery sardine beside the notified

sinuous fish, resembling snakes, but too
small and delicate to be cells, wriggle in

There are many odd varieties we do not

others with tenacles foot long, some
with exceedingly white flesh. and others
again with deep streaks of dull red
running through them.
The quays present gay appearance

Marseilles or Nice. They bring the mails
and their arrival is anxiously awaited.
There is a heterogeneous collection of

motives of prudence to walk in the gutter,

placed in the middle of the street,, in
order to avoid an unsupported avalanche

Fesch Museum, bequeathed to the town
by Cardinal Fesch, half-brother to
Letitia Ramolino, containing some ex-
cellent paintings, and few, so very few,
souvenirs of the Conqueror Napoleon.
One wishes there were only more.
In the Hotel de Vile, or City Hall,
there are many more paintings and sew
eral fine pieces of sculpture, represent

of the little Duke of Reichstadt, which
Napoleon had with him at St. Helena,
and Napoleon's death mask, given to the
town of Ajaccio, in 1884, by the Bona
parte family.
In glass case against the wall the
parochial register lies open at the page
which contains the baptismal record of
the great Napoleon.
