HYDRO RATES TO GO UP FOR GODERICH TOWN Residents of Goderich are a good deal exercised over a recent commun­ ication received by the town Water and Light Commission from the Hy­ dro Electric Commission of Ontario, in which it is announced that after January 1st. Goderich will be charg­ ed at the rate of $57 per horsepower per year. The rate heretofore was $43, so that the increase is a sub­ stantial one. We notice that The Sig­ nal newspaper states that before in­ stallation, Sir Adam Beck, or the engineers of the Commission estimat­ ed the rate to Goderich as low as $25. The rate has gone up in a series of steps since then. The announcement from the Commission is all the more annoying in view of the fact that to many Western Ontario towns a re­ duction in the rates has been given. These, however, are places where a rate substantially higher 'than the Goderich rate prevailed. The announcement from the Sec­ retary of the Hydro Commission read follows: “I am instructed by the Commis­ sion to advise you that after investi­ gating the operating conditions of your system during the year, it has been decided that your municipality will be billed at the rate of $57.00 per horsepower per year, commenc­ ing January 1st., 1923, and, also that for the next bills submitted after re­ ceipt of this letter your commission shall adopt the following schedule of rates for consumers supplied from your system: Domestic lighting—3c.; 3.5c., $1.75. Prompt payment discount, ten per cent. Minimum net monthly bill, 75c. Commercial lighting—7c.; 3.5c., ,7c. Power—$1.00; 4.8ct, 3t2ctJ ,15c. Street lighting—Three light orna­ ment, $40.00; 250 watt ornament, $25; 100 watt ornament, $20; 100 C. P. series, $12.50.” The figures for domestic lighting denote 3c. per 100 square feet of floor space (minimum and maximum floor space charged 1,000 and 3,000 square feet); 3.5c. rate for consumption for first 50 hours and $1.75 consumption for second 50 hours. Convinced by Help It Gave Friends Testimonials from people he knew, convinced Sergeant Elvin, of the Salvation Army, that Dreco was well worth trying. Results have delighted him. Mr. J. R. Elvin, of 177 Mulock St., Toronto, who for twenty years has been a Sergeant in the Salvation Army, is outspoken in his praise of Dreco, the new herbal remedy. Suf­ fering himself, he read of Dreco’s wonderful work, heard it spoken of n tones of the deepest gratitude by people he knew well. What more nat­ ural than that he should decide to try it himself? “Although I have only taken a bot­ tle and a half of Dreco, it has done me a world of good already,” states Mr. Elvin. “Last Winter I had an attack of lumbago, which left my system in a very badly run-down condition. Pains shot across my back, over the kidneys. My stomach would not digest my food properly, causing gas to rise after each meal, and I often had bilious attacks. “After reading of the help people I knew were receiving from Dreco, I . thought it might also benefit me and i I have not been disappointed in any way. The pains in my back have greatly improved, my stomach is much better and I have had no gas­ tric or bilious 'spells since I started taking this medicine. “My bowels are regular; I get up feeling fine and refreshed in the mornings and my day’s work is done much easier. I have recommended Dreco to many already and never hesitate to praise it.” Dreco’s claim's can be readily sub­ stantiated. Reliable people who have tried it are loud in their praises of this fine herbal remedy. They have found that it actually does tone and regulate the system and improve the general health. Dreco is made from herbs, roots, bark and leaves and contains no mercury, potash or habit forming drugs. Dreco is being specially introduc­ ed in Lucknow by Dr. A. M. Spence, and is sold by a good druggist every­ where. *0 HURON TOWNSHIP COUNCIL Council met pursuant to adjourn­ ment with Reeve Irwin in the chair. Members were all present.

Wright, of the Confederate, presented his account for the printing of the voters’ lists. The report of the meeting states that in regard to this account some dis­ cussion took place, as the amount seemed large, caused by the increased number of names on the list. The rate per page, $2.75, is the same as for several years. Chairman Young, of the Printing and Education Commit­ tee, admitted that he had written to printers in Toronto and London, and received offers to print the list at $3.50 and $3.00 per page.—Fergus News-Record, • — O-O’O - Most people who claim to be con­ tented are merely resigned. M AITLAND PRESBYTERIAL Th? fourth semi-annual Conference of Maitland Presbyterial was held in St. Andrew’s Church, Ripley, on Sep­ tember 18th. Mrs. Harkness presided. Delegates were present from twenty or more Auxiliaries. Morning session opened with devotional exercises led by members of Kincardine Auxiliary. Minutes of last Conference were read and approved. An address prepared by Mrs. MacCallum was read by Presi­ dent. Mrs. Overend reported a branch Auxiliary organized at Lome. Mrs. Gollan reported two new Bands or­ ganized, and urged the Aux. members to take a deep interest in M. Band work, drawing attention to the Dia­ mond Jubilee to be held in Montreal next year, asking for increase in membership of at least 50 in the Presbyterial. After various items of business were discussed the singing of hymn 270 brought session to a close, after which an executive meeting was held. Afternoon session opened by singing hymn 538, President leading in prayer. After reading the first six verses of the fourth chapter of Eph­ esians, Mrs. Carr, Rec j-Sec’y., read the minutes of last annual meeting, which were adopted after discussion. A motion was strongly supported that the September meeting be called Semi-Annual Presbyterial Mrs. Jones of Belgrave, Convenor of Nominating Committee, asked Auxiliaries to have the name sof their nominees handed in to her not later than April 1st. Home Helpers’ report read by Miss Mather. A duet by Mesdames Gomm and Steel was much appreciated. En­ couraging reports were received from Messenger, Forward Movement, Y.W. Aux., and Literature Secretaries. Mrs. Harkness kindly offered to visit Aux- il dries or give them assistance in any way she can. A motion was made by Mesdames .Hurdy and Gollan that a hearty vote of thanks be tendered Dr. and Mrs. Harkness and the members of Ripley Auxiliary for their kindly entertainment at the manse. The Lord’s Prayer repeated closed busi­ ness session (unison). Members of Presbytery then joined conference. Rev. Mr. Gollan, moderator, taking charge. After the singing of Psalm 72, Dr. Harkness in a few kindly re­ marks introduced the Rev. H. Y. Cho, M.A., a native of Hamhung City, Korea, who has studied in Canada for nine years, a graduate of Halifax and Toronto Universities, The audience maintained keenest interest through­ out Mr. Cho’s address, the basis of which was: “What the Gospel Has Done for the Country of Korea.” (The interpretation of the word Korea is morning calm). With an area of 82 thousand sguare miles, one fifth of the area of the province of Ontario, and contains 20 millions of people. Thg history of the race dates back 4256 years. Originally 32 little king­ doms altered into 8 provinces. Six of which were invaded by the Chinese. In a brief historical review, the speak­ er named rulers and their descend­ ents, whose rule extended over peri­ ods of from five hundred to a thou­ sand years. The question naturally presents itself, “Why should eastern countries, whose history and philos­ ophy dates 2000 years B.G., be so far behind western1 civilizations 1500 years of history?” The intellect, art and invention of the yellow and white races was briefly compared, whence the source of all the difference. Am­ ple and substantial proof was given that Christianity was, and is the up­ lift of the world. Races who know not the love of God, know not the liberty of man. Christianity equalizes all classes and eliminates all distinctions. The call which reached Paul from the Macedonian, “Come over into Mace­ donia and help us” The Orient is calling today, “Come over and help us.” The same call prompted St. Au­ gustine to brave the dangers in cross­ ing the frontiers of Europe to carry the message to the land of our fore­ fathers. In obedience. to the divine command, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel. Speaker related many incidents in the lives and work of those engaged in the 38 years of missionary enter­ prise in Korea. To the. women, speak­ er asked, “What status would the wo­ men of America, who are the equal of man, have, if it were not for the gospel of Christ?” what a wonderful transition. The gospel of the grace of , Jesus Christ induced those women of the east to study. Speaker related instances of women learning to read at seventy years and over, and whole classes of graduates ranging from ages of forty-five to fifty-five years. Of all books, the Scriptures are most intensely read for historical know­ ledge as well as inspiration. Mr. Cho compared the time con­ sumed in crossing the oceans in the pioneers time to the modern methods employed for speed and likened it to the development of Oriental cities that are moving fast in the adoption of modern innovations. In this day of national unrest, a challenge was given to the young of our land to send the gospel of Jesus Christ to the waiting 440 millions of India, China and Korea. This is the day of the western opportunity to meet the Ori­ ent with the gospel, rather than a fu­ ture generation in North America be met by them with the sword. His closing words were a plea to Christians to do their duty and make the world peaceful A pleasing solo was rendered by Mrs. D. Munn. Dr, Harkness, on> behalf of the audience, expressed their thanks to Mr. Cho for his splendid address. Singing of Hymn 386 brought meeting to a close. -----u-o-o----- TELL-TALE DISCLOSURES From the fact that President Daly had over two thousand shares in the Home Bank we agreed that his per­ sonal interest in it would shield him from any charge of negligence in management. It also happens how­ ever that he was President of a Pulp and Paper Co. which secured large loans from the Bank. It has also tianspired that during the past few months he had sold $90,000 worth of his holdings through a Toronto brok­ er. These disclosures should be suffici­ ent to justify investigation and pro­ secution.—-Kincardine Review I 3 I If I l£ 4 11 i i I il8! Autumn Shades Prevail In Our Dress Goods and Silk Depts.

McNab held a Court in the Town Hall to try charges of theft of money and goods from" S. R. Davey’s drug store. The County Crown Attorney appeared for the prosecution. The first case dealt with was that of Lyle Jackson who plead­ ed guilty and was questioned by the magistrate as to his share in the of­ fence charged. The Rev. R. Perdue, Secretary of the Children’s Aid Soci­ ety for Bruce, was present, as Jack- son is a ward of the Society, and, up­ on his undertaking the responsibility of placing the boy upon a farm, the magistrate allowed him to go on sus­ pended sentence, subject to certain conditions. The conditions were that he should appear for judgment when called upon at any time during the next year, that he would wc A- indus­ triously upon the farm, and quit smoking cigarettes, and that he should keep the peace and be on good be- „ haviour for twelve months. Willard Boos and Thomas Connolly were next arraigned and also pleaded guilty and noth of them were examined by Mr. Mickle, who appeared on their behalf and evidence was taken as to the committal of the crime. The evidence showed that Jackson and Connolly came to the Boos home on the night of the theft and, at eleven o’clock, Jackson proposed that they should go down town, and, when they reached the Public Library said he was “broke” and wanted money with which to buy cigarettes. This lead to breaking into Robert Dolphin’s store and then the trio moved on to Dav­ ey’s drug store. The opening was af­ fected by Jackson, who had a combi­ nation tool with him for that pur­ pose. He opened the window, got in and then opened the rear door and let in the other two. About $75.00 was taken in bills and some change making a total of $81.00 and $5.00 worth of goods, in all amounting to $86.00. Most of the goods have been recovered. The money was divided and hidden. The evidence of Mr. Dav­ ey showed that last Saturday night he had information as to the culprits and taking his car. met Boos and Da- 'vid Milne ’with the stolen goods. Boos made a complete confession and gave evidence upon which the warrant was issued for the arrest of Lyle Jackson, disclosing his whereabouts. The mag­ istrate. after hearing the evidence, stated that it was evident that cig­ arette smoking was at the bottom of the trouble and, under the circum­ stances of the case, as the boys were young, he was disposed to be leni- i ent and thev were let off with sus- | pended sentence for one year and- bound over to good behaviour and subject to the condition that they should be in their homes at ten o’clock every night and remain there. The parents were bound over in the I sum of $100.00 each. Complete res- stitution is to be made to Mr. Davey for all loss sustained by him. The costs of the court, amounting to $10.45 each, were ordered to be paid b.v the parents.—Enterprise, THE HARD-WORKING PRINCE (Montreal Witness) A couple of years ago Canada was glad to receive the Prince of Wales as her guest, today she is still more delighted to greet Baron Renfrew as a rancher and as a citzen of the Dominion. Edward David Windsor, who has been described as “the most popular and one of the hardest work­ ed young men in the world,” has come over for a holiday. He needs it, and he deserves it. As there are still some people who suppose that a king goes around all the time in royal robes with a crown on his head, surrounded by bowing courtiers, so there are still those who think of a prince as the most idle of idle young men, one whose duty it is to look pleasant, and to do nothing. The Prince, like his father, can, and does, “toil terribly.” His time is mapped out to the very hour for months ahead, so that he often cannot get off for an hour at his favorite game of polo, and for his health’s sake has to get up early in the morning for a ride in the Park. He takes an interest in a thousand enterprises for social welfare and especially has a genuine affection for the men who suffered in the war- An American lady, Genevieve Park­ hurst, writes- in the “Pictorial Re­ view”: “One of the first lessons given young David—the name he is callea by in his family—was that he did not belong to himself, but to the nation, and that when the nation called he was to forget himself and the thing he wanted to do and answer to that call. It was not for nothing that King John at the battle of Crecy conferr­ ed upon the Black Prince the three white feathers with the legend, “Ich Dien’ (I serve).” Canadians hope that Baron Renfrew will find rest and re­ freshment among the western spaces, and that he will visit and re-visit his Canadian home as ferquently as his very strenuous duties will permit. “HOME, SWEET HOME.” (Revised and Down-to-Date) I say, old man. I’m tired of this-— You go out every night, And take in plays and dances, too, And often come home tight. Today, you see, I’ve scrubbed the floors. Washed the windows and the doors, Hung the clothes upon the line. And now it’s nearly half-past nine! I’ve put the children all to bed, And made a cake and set the bread. While you’ve been loafing ’round with Joe And taken in the picture show. I’m just as dowdy when I’m dressed— Even in my very best— And think of it, land sakes alive, I’m not much over twenty-five. You never think of your poor wife, Working morning, noon and night, But spend good money, all the time, That should, in decency, be mine. Your selfish nature and neglect. Has made me lose my self-respect. . Our life is anything but sweet— bo turn about we’ll walk the street. Now, three nights every single week, You’ll rock the kiddies all to sleep— Wash the dishes, sweep the floor— Light the lamps and ’tend the door. I’ll bob my hair around—like that, And wear a pretty picture hat. ; A sporty dress—just to my knees, And lace so tight I’ll not dare sneeze. From now on, boy. I’ll paint my cheeks, Flirt with all the boys I meet— I’ll no longer be the clown— Not on your life—I’ll paint the town. And all that night tears fell like rain— A headache, sobs, and throbbing brain. But in the morning she was good— Made the breakfast, chopped the wood. The girl who knows how to do her own sewing doesn’t sew many wild oats. A Real Money-Maker A Toronto Farm Engine is a real money­ maker because it cleans up the numer­ ous odd jobs quick­ ly— leaves you more time for important work. Does those tedi­ ous jobs of milking, separating, MELVIN REED, churning, sawing, grinding, shelling corn* filling the silo, speedily and with much less effort. Toronto Farm Engines are well-built, simple in operation, run economically on kerosene or gasoline. A Toronto Engine, Saw and Grinder make a fine time and labor-saving team.
