[" berfarnofee Datlg Smtrù Established 1897.SHERBROOKE, CANADA, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1931 Thirty-Fifth Year.REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF CABINET MINISTERS IS BEING CONSIDERED Premier Bennett Informed House Last Night that He Was Giving Serious Consideration to Consolidating Certain Departments\u2014Public Works Estimates Will Be Taken Up Today\u2014Another Loan for Railways Predicted Unless Business Picks Up.OTTAWA, Ont., April 24\u2014 Government business will * again occupy the House of Commons today, the Prime Minister having announced that the estimates would be taken into consideration.Those on public works are first, this policy being usually carried out in order to ensure that, with the necessary appropriations voted operations on public construction might be proceeded with as early as possible.The public works votes are smaller this year than formerly, which may delay their passing.Whether the Dominion will some time in future conduct business with fewer Cabinet Ministers is a matter receiving the Prime Minister\u2019s attention.Last night he informed the Commons that he was giving serious consideration to consolidating certain departments.At the same time, however, he spoke of establishing a Department of Cornmunica-which would supervise the air services, radio, railways, canals, post office and other mediunts.A bill designed to increase the personnel of the Canadian National Railways directorate so that Alberta and Saskatchewan might have representation thereon became the occasion of a debate which traversed the whole field of Canadian National Railway affairs yesterday.The two Prafrie Provinces have hitherto been unrepresented on the board.The whys and wherefores of the increase, the duties of the directors, the extent of their powers as such, the knotty problem of freight rates, railway financing, and the recent reductions in railway services throughout the Dominion were discussed, elaborated, analysed and duly embalmed in the official records of the House.Hon.'R.J.Manion, Minister of Railways, who was piloting the bill, made it clear that the Government, had no control over the management of the National Road.The representations made in the course of the debate would, however, be forwarded to Sir Henry Thornton for whatever action the railway president might deem advisable under the circumstances.One statement of the Minister was taken as foreshadowing another indifferent year for the railways.At the present rate, the National System would lose another $16,000,000 gross revenues\u2014the figure it dropped last year from that of lOOD\u2014unless business picked up.Facing this possibility, fhe present was not the time to ask for a reduction in freight rates, which were already lower than those prevailing in the United States.Besides, the matter of rates lay primarily between the railways them.-elves and the Board of Railway Commissioners.Second reading was given to a measure designed to eliminate inconsistencies connected with naturalization.As a case in point, if a Canadian woman marries a United States citizen, she ceases to be a Canadian subject (under the present Canadian law), but site does not become a United States national (under the United States law).Consequently she is without a country.The present measure contemplates adjusting this condition so thkt a woman in the foregoing circumstances would continue to be a Canadian subject until she uuto-matically became a citizen of the l nited States, in accordance with the laws promulgated by that country.A number of questions were asked and answered, of which the most interesting was that Parliament will ihis session have an opportunity of discussing fully the tariff changes approved at the special session last September.Due to the necessity of getting the Prime Minister away to the Imperial Conference, the debate on these was greatly curtailed.It was also stated that the mechanization of the Canadian artillery (permanent force) has cost the country $158,146.S.W.Jacobs, (Liberal, C'artier), got.first reading to his bill which would do away with the necessity of re-electing members of the Commons on their appointment to Cabinet rank.IRREGULARITIES HOLD UP MONTREAL HARBOR WORK CIVIL SERVICE SALARIES LEAD TO QUESTIONS Former Secretary of State Also Makes Request for Information on War Claims.NEGOTIATING WHEAT SALES TO BRITISH CO-OPERATIVE Premier Anderson Hints at Possible Purchase of Thirty Million Bushels at a Dollar Per Bushel.SASKATOON, SASK., April 24.\u2014Announcement that the annual sale of 30,000,000 bushels of grain to the British Co-operative Wholesale Society, at $1 per bushel, is being negotiated was made last night by Premier J.T.M.Anderson, of Saskatchewan, in a speech at the Sons of England celebration.The Premier said that the arrangement with the British Society regarding the purchase of Canadian wheat would probably Include consideration of any advance in the price of wheat.PROMINENT REPUBLICANS OPPOSE PRESENT POLICY OF HIGH TARIFF U.S.Democratic Commentators Making Most of Slight Dissatisfaction Evident in Opposition Camp-Observers Wonder if a Split Is Likely in Republican Ranks.OTTAWA, April 24.\u2014A series of gestions in respect to war claims to be dealt with by the commissioner has been placed on the order paper of the House of Commons by Hon.Fernand Rinfret, (Lib.-St.James), and former Secretary of State.Mr.Rinfret enquires as to the number of claims which remain to be heard by the war claims\u2019 commissioner He also wishes to know the total amount of claims still to be examined; and the date when Commissioner Errol McDougall is expected to present his final report.\u201cWill the Government ask for authorization to pay at once the sums in this final report?\u201d queries Mr.Rinfret.Mr.Rinfret has also a.number of questions in respect to the Beatty commission appointed to investigate salaries of Civil Service employees.Mr.Rinfret wishes to know if the commission is still in operation, and if so when and where its Inst sitting was held.If the commission is not in operation, he asks on what authority it was discontinued.He also inquires when a report of the decisions of the commission will be made.\u201cDoes the Government expect to be able to make a full test case of the grain loading facilities at Churchill?\u201d a ^ Montreal,,

Has Provided Interesting Contest in Every Election Campaign.During Ihe forthcoming campaign, considerable interest is focussed on Compton County, the scene of many hard fought battles.Compton has possibly passed back and forth from one party to another oftener than any other riding in the district.The first member was Mr.Sawyer, who sat continuously from 1867 to 1886, representing the Conservative interests.In 1886 the representation of the county was entrusted to John McIntosh, also a Conservative, who overcame all opposition until his resignation in 1892.In the election which followed, C.MeClary, Conservative, won by a majority of 688 over the Liberal candidate, J.B.St.Laurent.However, tbe tide turned in the election of 1897, when J.Hunt, carrying the Liberal banner, obtained a majority of 304 over the Conservative candidate, C.W.B.French.His reign was not for long for in 1900, A.W.Girard, Conservative, obtained a majority of 337 in a three-cornered struggle.Mr.Girard was successful in the contests of 1904 and 1908, but went down to defeat by 174 votes before W.G.Scott in 1912.Mr.Scott was re-elected in 1916, but in 1919 made way for C.Desjlois.In 1923, Hon.Jacob Nicol, then Provincial Treasurer, was elected, and in 1927, was re-elected by a majority of 1,275 votes over B.Giard.Ori the elevation of Mr.Xicol to the Legislative Council in 1929 Hon.A.\tR.McMaster, appointed Treasurer, carried the county by 139 votes in a bitter fight with A.L.Pomeroy, the Conservative representative.W.iile no definite announcement has been made, it is assumed that Mr.McMaster will not present himself again this year, as ill health has forced him to relinquish the Treas-urership.Andrew Ross McMaster, B.A., B.\tC.L., K.C., was born in Montreal in 1876, of Manx descent In 1917 he was elected to the Federal House for Brome county and re-elected in 1921 but withdrew from tbe Dominion field in 1925.In September 1929 he was appointed Provincial Treasurer, but was compelled to resign in 1930.\t- ** CITY BRIEFLETS -a C.G.I.T.Tea, St.Andrew\u2019s Church Hall, Saturday, April 26th, 8 to 6.Big dance tomorrow night at the Winter

and Trou-;jailors tomorrow evening at the Princess.Undoubtedly affected by the prevailing economic depression, the number of marriages solemnized in Canada, during the month of March, 1931, showed a sharp decline compared with the total jn March, 1930.There were 1,556 marriages in March of this year and 2,001 for the similar period last year, a de-I cline of 21 1-2 per cent.Births registered in cities of ten ; thousand and over in Canada totalled 7,436, last month, according I to a report of the Dominion Bur-; eau of Statistics compared with j 7,684 last year, a drop of three Iper cent.Deaths in the same period declined from 4,407 in 1930 to 4,168 in jl931, or,5 1-2 per cent.! For the first three months of !1931 births totalled 21,076, a decrease of two per cent when com-! pared with the 51,454 recorded in | a similar .period last year.Deaths | for the first quarter also declined jtwo per cent, 12,364 occurring to date this year and 12,603 for the ! first three months in 1930.Marriages were down 12 1-2 per cent, j falling from 6,416 in 1930 to 5,-| 608 in 1931.j In the Province of Quebec, Sher-jbrooke occupied fifth position in the number of births recorded last month with fifty-eight, being exceeded by Montreal.Quebec, Three Rivers and Hull.With thirty deaths, this city held the same relative position, while three marriages served to put it in fourth place, Montreal, Quebec and Hull recording more unions.*- LENNOXVILLE é\u2014\u2014-è DANCE!

two-manual pipe organ in the Baptist Church on Portland avenue, a worthy addition is being made to the religious musical life of Sherbrooke.A unique feature of this organ is the entire absence of show-pipes, the front being a cabinet work design in brown ash, backed with bronze screening, thus giving a very pleasing effect.The installation of the instrument will be completed by Sunday, and a special programme for the weekend has been arranged.The services of Mr.C.Versel Chamberlain; formerly organist of St.James\u2019 j Church, Montreal, and Calva\u2019 y ; Baptist Church, New York, have

Night\u2014Mercury Hovering Around Thirty-Three Above This Morning.In contrast with the fine warm weather experienced at the beginning of this week, the temperature dropped considerably last night and led many citizens to believe that King Winter was making a bid to return.But cool weather at this time of spring is not an unusual thing.One must remember that spring came at a comparatively early date this year.Overcoats which had been discarded made their reappearance towards evening yesterday.The .em-perature for yesterady was maximum 65 and minimum 37, while for the corresponding day last year it was maximum 35 and minimum 20.The mercury this sprung climbed as high as 82 degrees on Tuesday of this week.A sharp difference is seen between this mark and the temperature registered last night at the Lennoxville Experimental Farm of 33 above.This morning at seven o\u2019clock the air was still cool ANOTHER QUIET NIGHT FOR POLICE What is the meaning of this quietude so evident at.the

the 5 3rd Sherbrooke Regiment passed creditably through a critical inspection by the staff officers from military headquarters at Montreal and Ottawa.Colonel Beeman, D.S.O., the officer commanding.was accompanied by Colonel Prower, D.S.O., and the gunnery commandant, Colonel Snell, had also his retinue.It was a trenchant inspection in every detail, and the O.C.not only congratulated the regiment on parade, hut in the mess-room he also expressed his appreciation of the regimental standing to Lt.-Col.Echenberg and his enthusiastic stoff.All the officers have entered into the spirit of economy laid down by the regime at Ottawa, and have willingly helped in every detail.Even the visiting officers from headquarters, instead of tarrying for a day or two in the city, motored from Montreal in the morning and after formal and informal gatherings they dashed back by car to headquarters, thus cutting their usual expenses in half Not one word of complaint or criticism has been made of the call for rigorous economy, but rather is there a general agreement that the efficiency of the corps shall be upheld by more conscientious application to the work.The Armouries are not only a college of discipline and of exercise, but there exists that clubby spirit which makes duties become pleasures.In both the officers\u2019 mess and in the sergeants\u2019 mess there is ever that spirit of camaraderie which makes for good fellowship and for lifelong friendships.It was reward enough for the boys this week when the Officer Commanding so highly commended them for their soldierlike bearing in the diversity of exercises.One feature, aside from the splendid music provided by the Regimental Band under Sergeant-Major Havard, was the spirited military music from the cornet and drum band trained in a few months by Captain Wally Barrie.Their showing was exceptionally good.DELIBERATE DECEPTION OF THE CANADIAN NATIONAL.One often wonders why people allow themselves to be victimized by confidence men or gold brick artists, or by stock salesmen representing worthless companies never heard of nor spoken of outside the glib salesmen.'l et when we find the simple-minded sitting in the editorial chair at the Capital of Canada, we cease to wonder, and only pity the puny intellect.The Ottawa Citizen, in criticizing the plain truths told by John T.Hackett, M.P , for Stan-stead, in the House of Commons, makes the following statement: \u201cEventually the Government assumed the deots and liabilities of the defaulting lines.They were merged to form the Canadian National Railways to such a beneficial effect that net earnings in 1929 exceeded operating costs by more than 850,009,000.\u201d The net deficit of the Canadian National Railways system for the year 1929 was $46,099,-250.There is just a small matter of a hundred millions between the Editor of the Citizen and the truth.Conceive the abysmal simplicity of an Editor who can be deceived by a play upon words, and who will then make a statement which is intended for the cruel deception of the few simple-minded who still believe that public ownership of railways can be successful.During an election year there were agile-minded auditorial experts who could figure a profit in the operation of the old Intercolonial Railway, a profitless statement which would be followed the next year by another staggering loss.The concealed figures would have to be brought to light to keep the books straight.A billion dollars of the taxpayers\u2019 money lias been cast into the most disastrous experiment n the history of Canada.The losses in eight years total over $300,000,000.And they will continue and bring Canada to the verge of bankruptcy unless something is done\u2014and that right quickly.e repeat that the member for Stanstead is the first member of Parliament who has had the courage to turn on the radium and to tell the people the truth about this gigantic blunder.They may shout \"Hands off the C.N.R !\u2019\u2019 but we want heads on that White Elephant and its all-consuming trunk.THE ONLY V.C.WON IN CANADA.limothy O Hea, a private in the British Army, is the only person who ever won the Victoria Cross in Canada.In all the annals of the Victoria Cross the exploit of Private O\u2019Hea is the only one recorded of the winning of the most coveted honour in the military world, to cont-mcmoiBtc a brave deed done in the Dominion.7 hit: medul w., won at the Village of Danville in the year 1865, during the time of unrest following the Civil War in the United Stales, and iuat a few months before the Fenisn raiders entered Canada at LacolJe and other points.O\u2019Hea was a member of the guard in charge of the mili-tarv train.A car full of powder caught fire, and despite the adjuration of his fellows that he had better get away, \u201cfive miles from here,\u2019\u2019 the British private seized two buckets of water, entered the car and put the fire out.He was rewarded by being decorated by Queen Victoria on his return to England in 1868, and there is now in the Museum at Sydney, Australia, a tablet recording his brave feat.Though the present regulations enforce the rule that the Victoria Cross shall only be given for bravery \u201cin the face of the enemy,\u201d Private O\u2019Hea was given the scroll and medal when the regulations were different.Private O\u2019Hea was stationed in Australia afterwards, and with that reckless courage which characterized him and many of his good Irish countrymen, he started for a faroff point, entered the almost unpenetrable bush and was never heard of again.T hough it is whispered that in Central Australia there are little quadroons- who bear the name of Hay-o-Hay.That this tablet, which was seen and reported upon by Ex-Principal Connolly, a former teacher in Danville, relates the exploit as having taken place in \u201cDanville, Canada,\u201d suggests that a replica should be set up in the Town Hall at Danville.If the matter were brought to the attention of the Quebec Historic Society, it surely would be done.For to the brave are due all honour and glor^, EDITOR\u2019S NOTE BOOK.When the Grand Trunk became the White Elephant Trunk of Canada there wars trumpeting by people who stood at the foot of the arithmetic class in school.\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 A majority of forty-three on the

passengers without spending money.But it is also true that in many cases the difference between comfort - and the lack of it is not in the amount of money spent but in the way in which it is spent.And it is also true that the surest way to expand a business is to furnish better service to customers.SEA CHANTEYS TRIBUTE PAID WERE SUNG IN TO MEMORY OF REGULAR STYLE! GREAT FARADAY ALWAYS CRITICISM.Stratford Beacon-Herald.Come to think of it, Eve was criticized by Adam; Noah had many critics when he built his ark; Abraham did not escape; Moses had to listen to the children of Israel in their critical moments; Joseph had his unpleasant hours, and the prophet Elijah was so hard set upon by Jezebel, wife of Ahab, that he had to run for his life to a hiding place in the desert.None of those people had easy going; none escaped criticism.\u201cOTHER PEOPLE\u2019S MONEY\u201d IS ALWAYS \u201cNOMINAL.\u201d Toronto Mail and Empire.The Ontario Government announces that a nominal sum of $500,000 will be put c ide for old age pensions in 1932, in view of the expectation that the Federal Government will bear the cost.The association of half a million dollars with the word \u201cnominal\u201d recalls a joke in the Bystander.A plumber had presented his bill, which the \u2019 in the magnificent home regards with raised eyebrows.\u201cWhy,\u201d she says, \u201cthis is a small fortune!\u201d \"It may look small to you, my lady,\u201d replies the plumber, \u201cyou bein\u2019 that well off.\u201d FRONT WINDOW MUSINGS t æ- I Delicate eyebrows may be an aid to manly beauty, but they do not help the looks of an upper lip.* * * \u201cRoosevelt sure of victory with' Smith\u2019s support,\u201d says a title.Probably means \u201cwith support of all the Smiths.\u201d * * \u2022 When a nobody speaks vaguely, that is a lack of conviction;
