CAPT. ADAMS HEADS
HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
Inaugural Meeting Held Last Week
The February mee.ting of the W. C.
T. U. was held at the City Mission on
Thursday1 afternoon, with the Vice-
President, Mrs. E. M. Loney, presid
ing.
The meeting opened with a hymn,
which was followed, by prayer by /Mrs.
John' Anderson and-the Scripture les
son Which was read by Miss Bolt.
Miss Welsh then gave a most helpful
reading entitled "A Meditation”, after
which' the Misses Velma and Lorraine
Carter sang a beautiful duet "The
Hand That Was Wounded For Me.”
Mrs. Loney, assisted by the mem
bers of the Union, then read tile Clip
Sheet, the subject of which was "Fran
ces Willard — The Pioneer.”
"Miss Willard was a pioneer in edu
cation for women. In 1871 she was
elected President of the^Evanston Col
lege for Ladies — the first woman to
whom such a title was ever accorded.
Miss Willard was also a pioneer in
feeling and proclaiming the essential
justice of the principle of woman suff
rage. With her, also, originated the
idea of Temperance instruction in day
Schools, which is now practised in
many countries. Miss Willard was al
so a pioneer in forming the first na-
*tion-wide organization of women. In
1879 she was made National President
of the W.C.T.U. In 1891 she was
president of the "World's W.C.T.U.,
fifty nations, having been organized.
She was the first president, also, of
the National Council of Women.
In 1896 Frances Willard and Lady
Henry Somerset were pioneers in se
curing aid for the persecuted Armen
ian refugees, of whom the Turks masr
sacred 50,000 in a single year.
We can best .honour the memory of
Prances Willard and help the Temp
erance cause by interesting others in
our organized effort to further temp
erance and total abstinence, especial-'
ly in these days of crisis when it is a
patriotic duty to promote national ef
ficiency and national economy.”
Miss W. ■ Barfoot then gave an' in
spirational address based on the last
verse of Psalm 27, after which anoth
er hymn was sung.
'At the close of the .business period,
a quartette composed of the Misses
Hover, Lorraine Carter, Ada and Dor
othy Phippen sang "Rock of Ages’-
very beautifully*
The meeting; closed with another
hymn after which Miss Ada Phippen
led in prayer.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
PRESENT IDEAS BY
MEANS OF LINOCUTS
RIFLE CLUB HELD
MONTHLY SHOOT
YOUNG COW IS
A REAL MILKER
In this,edition and during the weeks
to follow, a scrips of linocuts will be
published, four each week. The lino
cuts have been prepared by pupils of
Grades VII and VIII; of Wingham
Public School, during 'art class per
iods. A gold medal is to be presented
to the maker of the finest of the ser
ies. The medal is to be donated by
the Advance-Times.
*sThe linocuts are the products of a
project developed undek the plans- of
the New Elementary Curriculum. Pu
pils made original sketches entirely
from mempry, or by creative expres
sion, ho copying from models being
permitted. All Work was done in class
periods under direct supervision and
no changes were allowed out of
school. The linoleum was donated to
the school and the cutting tool^ also,
through the co-op eratiop of interested
local citizens. In transferring the
sketch to the linoleum, the surface was
painted white and the work traced by
carbon paper through ^o it. Then by
using cutting tools, either the back
ground or the main units of the sketch
were dug out, leaving a^ raised print
ing surface which is used in the print
ing press.
Pupils were giv.en a . free choice of
.Subjects and, as a result, the series
contains great’ variety, with emphasis
upon such subjects as animals, birds,
trees, people, seasonal drawings, scen
es from other countries, transporta
tion, nursery rhymes, and local build
ings.
New knowledge and skills gained
by pupils* will be apparent in the
prints. Particularly noteworthy are
the elements of- design, the skilful ex
actness of the cuttings, and the fre
quent appearance of striking and
thought-provoking representations.

Rev. E, M. Loney has a 2-year-old
pure br.ed Jersey cow of Which he is
justly proud. This heifer freshened on
May 7th last and is due to freshen
during the latter part of next iMay.
Mr, Loney has weighed the. milk giv
en by his cow at each milking. Dur
ing nine months the total milk yield
was 5358 lbs. (2143 quarts), Three
times’ during this period the milk was
tested for butter fat. At the com
mencement of the period the average
fest for night and morning milkings
was 4.65%, In the middle of the per
iod the average test was 5.9%, and a
test made last week averaged 6.75%.
Since October 15th, besides supplying
the family with milk and cream, 98^/2
lbs. of butter have been churned.
When the cow entered her tenth
month of milking Mr, Loney separ
ated all the milk given during seven
consecutive days, amounting to 115
lbs. From this 7 days’ yield 9% lbs.
of butter was churned. During the
preceding week the’ milk yield was 12
lbs, higher than during the week the
test was made. Had the test been
made that preceding week the butter
yield would have been 10 lbs, Mr.
Loney believes that his cow may be
developed into the world record class.
The response by the public to the
Canadian Legion War Services drive
here has been very good indeed, so
far as those doing the canvass have
gone, Some wards have not as yet
been nearly completed and every ef»
fort is to be made to finish the job at
once, The sympathetic attitude of the
public has made the duty of collect
ing a pleasant one and the work that
will be carried on by the Legion Ser
vices, made possible by the generos
ity of the public, will be of great ben
efit to the boys who are now in the
Active Service Force also to those
who enlist in the future.
If by any chance you are not called,
on during the campaign go to the Hy
dro office with your donation. Those
who live m the country may do like
wise as it is impossible for the Leg
ion to make a proper canvass of the
country at this season of the year.
