Clin- ton branch when it was organized in 1903, and of the first meeting she attended. The topic of that particular meeting was "Thrift in the Home."

Responsibility As Wife "The woman in the home has a big responsibility as a wife, another and homemaker, and the house- wife can help make or break the home;" she said. 1VIrs. Trewartha said that women in the world to- day represent 55 per cent of the vote when they exercise their fran- chise, and as there is Strength in numbers, so the WI as a world- wide organization should be able to accomplish much.

THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE So we have beverage rooms in Huron. That's not what they are called by their patrons, but that's what they are called by outsiders. And that's what they are. We have beverage rooms even though the people of Huron have never voted for them and do not want them. This is just another way in which the letter of the law is be- ing evaded and the spirit of the law frustrated. It is in the record that every one of these beverage rooms has had police action brought against them. The ques- tion is how long are men going to keep on paying a third more for their intoxicating beverages. More- over, beverage rooms represent one of the worst features of the liquor traffic nuisance. The people of Huron do not want beverage rooms. 8.b PETER , of the BACK SHOP Kerchoo! (Pardon me.) We have (sniff) just a little bit of the old- fashioned, common, that is, cold, which truly cuts down on the percentage of pleasure we shou,d be getting from this salubrious Canadian climate. Well may New Canadians be talking among them- selves concerning what fibbers Canadians are. They no doubt heard about the winter blizzards and deep snow to be experienced in Canada, "The Land of Snow". Perhaps there were some who hesi- tated to come because of the rig- orous climate. Cheer'up, mice and men, there is always another year corning when we'll have the familiar mountains of snow along the curbs of our fair town. We sort of missed the excitement of go- ing through those narrow alleys • SPECIAL BARGAINS FOR 10 DAYS ONLY Feb. 28 to March 10 Substantial Discounts on all models in stock 1 Coal Brooder Loa Than Corsi DAIRY SVPrLIFS STAnk,E FANS ...�,.

One never was just too sure what would be en- countered on the other side. © a 0 Life in the back shop is at times rather quiet, and then at times things get quite exciting and gay. Never, is it the least bit of a bore. This week we had a good look at some of the young hopefuls whose increasing numbers in town have made the building of a new school necessary. (Little 'do they realize that when they get a little older they'll be able to start paying for this self -same school themselves). At any rrate�th© subject of printing must have come up in one of the classes being taught in the old school for a veritable army of these Little Men have traipsied in and out of our Eack Shop. They were, we think, all perfectly satisfied to receive a slug from the linotype machine with their own names cast solid- ly in lead. This mouse was able to get a fairly good look at them for they were so interested in the machines that mice were far from their minds. Funny thing ©ou© these Small Men. In mouse circles they are known as arch enemies. "Never let a Small Boy with a dog get on your trail," my granddaddy al- ways said. They're such persistent little chappies when a mousehunt gets started that we consider our- selves lucky not ever to have at- Itracted the attention of such a combination. Now, (parrrden m© Kerchoo! we must really get on over to the cupboard and take a Iittle more cod liver oil. Nothing like it for a cold, so granddaddy al- ways told me.
