Ontario’s New Prime Minister Ernest Charles Drury, who is likely to be Ontario's next Premier, farms 250 acres at Crown Hill. Crown Hill is one of those little places that lost its postoffice when rural mail routes were organized, but it is about five miles from Barrie on the “Penetang” road. Two hundred acres of Mr. Drury’s ‘p’ossessions were selected and pioneered by Mr. Drury’s great~grandâ€" father in 1819, and have been in C. Drury, w‘ leader of the Un parties in Ontario 'This is the decision of the Supreme Council after hearing reports on the matter, these reports holding Germany responsible for the sinking. In this connection it is learned that the United States and Great Bri- tain are about to consent that the re- maining German warships shall be divided instead of being destroyed, the majority going to France and Italy. This represents a victory for the French. possession of the family ever since. The new Leader’ is a good, practical farmer, with the added advantage of a course at the Guelph College and the degree of BSA. He hasn’t special- ized in his farming to any great ex- tent, tliough perhaps he takes more pride in his herd of dual-purpose Shorthorns than in anything else. Of late years he has given much atten- tion to the UFO. movement, with particular relation to the tariff. A1- ways he has been active in the com- munity life at Crown Hill. The fact that the church and the school are almost at his door made easy his atâ€" tendance at these meeting places. The new Leader is a little over forty years of age, is strong and well built, and has a determined look. His family consists of wife and five children, three boys and two girls. His eldest son will be able to run the farm while father runs the holitics of the Prov- ince. In religion Mr. Drury is a Methodist. A despatch from Paris says:â€"The Germans must make reparation for the destruction of the Scapa Flow fleet, but this must be paid in other naval material or in property of the German Government which otherwise would not be subject to reparations. A dspatch from London says:â€"The Midland manufacturers, in conference, are taking great interest in the prob- lem of how best to increase production. One scheme submitted involves notify- ing employee of the decrease in out- put. If no imnrovement is noted after ten days the Board of Trade might be called upon to make an investigation. If in this event the employers are found responsible, it is suggested that a fine of £50 sterling be enforced. If, on the other hand, the decrease in out- put is due to slackness on the part of the employes, it is planned that a fair percentage, in accordance with the de- crease, be deducted from their wages. The scheme also proposes that the employer reward employes substan- tially for any suggestion which may lead to production being increased.

Unique G A despatch from Montreal says:â€" Gifts of many kinds have been pre- sented to the Prince of Wales during his tour of the Dominion, but one that difl'ered from the rest was that pre- sented to him during his visit to the Baron de ‘Hirsch Institute. A tablet of gold, on which were carved the Ten Commandments, was presented to the Prince, the tablet be- ing handed to him by Sylvia Lillian Cohen, the nine-yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. Lyon Cohen.
