Premier Campbell, after his bad break in Federal politics, has taken to the \\'4lD(lS, or raili- ei" to the icc, of Winnipeg. At this momentous tiiite, the head of the Liberal party iii the Pro- vince thinks his absence preferable to his citi- barrassing presence iti our midst.

Women are said to he vcry considerable con- tributors to the composition of aitiinunition for war, a Hairdresser Convention was told the oth- cr day in explanation of the rcttirti to fashion

‘of the boyish bob for ivomcn. The three factors

given for the return were: First, hztir becomes valuable in wartime for use in certain kinds of ammunition; woiiicit are less inclined to elabor- ate coiffures during :i war; and, also importatit, women's hats are being fashioned to show the hair. Probably the third excuse would have been sufficient in itself. iii Iii 4- it

There is iilrire truth than fiction in the state- ment appearing in the Patriot's report of the political meeting at Moittagtie Friday night. In reporting Dr. Grants speedy-the Patriot stated that he “spoke of the iiiaiiy public works and services representing tens of thousands of dol- lars of which the King Government had receiv- ed from the Liberal Government." Apparently there are two Governments in the Dominion, ac- cording to this statement. Dr is the Liberal cat1- didate for King's County referring to the ct:- ormotis amounts of money rcceivctl by the King supporters?

Dr. Henry Liiurcys, rccciilly appointed Cait- adian High Coitiiiiissioiicr to South Africa, strongly criticized political interference in Que- bec's educational scheme. Speaking fro:ii the ex- perience gaincd through a 27-year service with the School for I-Iiglicr Commercial Studies, of which he was dean until 1938, and from his studies 0f Quebcds educational system, Dr. Laureys pleaded for ‘lclitninatioit of politics from education.” “1f those entrusted with teaching are worthy of tlicir charge, lct them stay in their positions no matter what their political beliefs," Dr. Latircys emphasized at the dinner tendered him at the Club St. Denis by the Chainhre dc Commerce, whose iitiiiicdiate past president he is. “Make teaching a career, and assure tcziclicrs that thcy can dcvotc tlicir entire livcs to youth of the province."

According to Dr. F. C. James, the new Prin- cipal Iof the McGill University there is a funda- mental difference bctwccn Germany and Rus- sia on one hand and Great Britain and France, on the other, despite niaiiy superficial similar- ities. Iii an address, entitled “We and They", Dr. James confined his attention to economic and political phases of the contrast. He said that in his opinion the fundamental difference was to be found in the democratic principle that the in- dividual was more important that the state; that the individual had a right to criticize a govern- ment that he regarded as tinsatisfactory; and that all government existed only for the purpose of promoting the wclfarc of the individuals ivlio composed the nation. "The citizens of the deni- ocracies are fighting in order that mcn may be able to live their livcs in peace and scctirity; the armies of Germany and Russia are engaged in an effort to cxalt the majesty of the statc," Dr. James said.

rut: CHARLOTT NOTES BY TllE WAY

The untidy fence corner banish- ed for years from our more ef- ficient and up-wcia-te farming sections. is now to b: recalleci. It may nave indicated lazznrss on the pairt. of the farmer. but is serv- ed a purpose so importznt that its iii-appearance was an economic loss. The weeds and biackbusiies and shrubs and trees tnat tzliotv- ed the old rail fence was pictures- qua and a na.ui'al -t.‘s de..g.it. 'l‘liey also helped to keep the soil in the fields from blc-wmg avray and from being washed away in a heavy rain. They endured b11113 that did so muon more than sitg for their living. The buds sumed insect pests in great. numb- ers and helped to protect the iami crops from their depredaitious. It is pleasant to learn that. the bare and charactericss fence corners and field edges are as poor econcmzcally as wtlieticaliy and that fascinat- liig disorder of llllC-IVUIZIU. but rich- ly bearing bcrders and roadside; is valuable. - Dgoy Courier.
