to their being able to handle the enor-
nous crop before snow flies.

Carl A. Watne has accepted the po-

DR.. F. J. Christie, who recently re-
turned from a three months trip to
Montreal, says that conditions in the
| larger cities of eastern Canada are
very quiet, but in the small towns
and throughout the agricultural Sec
tions the situation is the same as
usual. Crops in eastern Canada are
fine. The doctor hadn't visited Mon
treal in ten years and was hardly pre-
pared for the great changes that had
taken place. When last in Montreal
it was thriving city of 100000 people
and now has a population of over
100000. What struck the doctor as
peculiar at this time is the fact that
there seems to be no bitterness felt
by the Canadians toward the Ger
mans. A general spirit of helpful
ness pervades the entire country, ev-
erywhere may be seen evidences of
care for the soldier boys in the Euro
pean trenches. One Of the doctors
aunts, an old lady 80 years of age, has
already knit 100 pairs of stockings for
the soldiers in addition to a large
number of scarfs and mittens, and is
still busily engaged in the work of
preparing things for them. He says
that out of the first contingent of 100
men who left for the front there are
but eight or ten left, the rest having
fallen on the battle fields or are lying
in hospitals and in the enemy's pri-
sons.
Whoever the party was who took
the dictionary from the number three

better bring it back at once.
David Houston, ST., in his new Over
land started for town one day last
week and as he rounded the curve
west of town the steering gear got
caught in some manner and the car
went over the embankment, narrowly
missing several big boulders which lay
strewn along the side, and down thru
the railroad fence he went and finally
came to stop as he reached the rail
road grade. Dave was mighty plucky
and stuck to the wheel with true
Scotch pluck and brought his machine
through without scratch, one fender
being slightly bent, was the only dam
age done.

Speaker Clark has evidently accept

he would not have given him the COM
plete Endorsement which has recently
been published. Republicans can now
rest satisfied as to the results upon
the issues which will be presented to
the electors in 1916, for, with Mr. VIII
son as the candidate, there can be no
successful dodging by the party in
power of those issues, no covering up
or avoidance of the record which thou
sands of Democrats are ashamed of
and which hundreds of thousand of
former Democrats will repudiate by
their votes in 1916.
The party must face its record upon
the tariff. Its failure to protect Amer
