The Huron County Children's Aic So- ciety have a numberof children of va iota ages for whom they desire good foster - homes. A little girl of six months is ready for immediate adoption. Two nice litt e boys, just over a year old and about able to walk. would briag happiness into the homes that will receive them. and there are others, from a boy of seven years to a girl of twelve. who would repay careful training and kindly home treatment. Surely there are many people in this county who could make such en investment and thus hetq in this much ns.ded Christian work. Call up or write to G. M. Elliott, County Secretary and Agent, Goderich. HI"RON COUNT] TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the Huron County Temperance Association was held in Seaforth on Wednesday afternoon and evening•of last week and was well at- tended, nearly all parts of the county being represented. The principal speaker at botn sessions was Rev. A. D. Grant, D.D., chief executive,officer'of the Prov- incial referendum committee. Dr. Grant explained the plan of campaign of the central organization. He said that to save the Government the expense of making new voters' lists. which would cost about half a mil,ion dollars. they had agreed to accept the old lists on which he said "we secured an overwhelming major- ity last October, and should increase it this year." The speaker alio pointed out the immense saving to the temperance fortes in this regard, as it did away with the necessity of providing a force of secretaries to check registration. The central referendum) committee has planned a short intense campaign which will be largely confined to a period of four to six weeks before the actual voting. It was felt it was not necessary now to educate the people on the advantages of prohibition, but effor will be confined to combatting the a by of temperance workers and the fee ng of reaction which. Dr. Grant said had set in in the larger ci ies. There is a feeling prevalen in some cities notably in Toro to, thit the prohibition workers had gone far enough and should not further restrict the consumption of liquor. "This is all wrong," he said, "as the importation of liquor to a consid- erable extent nullifies the victory won last year. There is no doubt of the verdict of the runt districts. but we not want to have our majorityr�p61led down by an adverse vote in septi( of the large cities. i in some respect.,' Df. Grant said, "the precut system even worse than the old licensed stem. as it takes the consumption uor right into the home where it c t fail•to have an evil influ- ence on -the growing boys and girls." The total cost of the campaign, as outlined by the speaker. will be about $100.000 instead o(i Ciel) as estimated by some speakers. This barn it is proposed' td divide proportionately among the counties, where the local commtttees,will add the necessary sums to carry on the work, thus making one cell for funds from the people interested in tethperance. The local bodies will then turn over theirepare to the central organization. The plans of the central committee include newspaper advertising. posters aid an attractive pamphlet that it is proposed to put in the hands of every voter.

By Iasi Dteselm, Ottawa, June 28.-T,she Commons is in favor of continuing the Wheat Board, or at least of giving the Government power to continue that booed if ' t sho td prove necessary between now and The time of next harvest. This much was made evident durieg debate on the Gov- ernment resolution in tt♦ Commons. Here and there a voice was raised against the measure, from both sides of the fence Naturally among the dissenters was H.H. Stevens of Vancouver. Hon. Mackenzie King straddled the fence, as far as one could juige by his remarks. The Liberal chief does much fence -straddling at times, as. for instance. on increased indemnities. Sir George Foster introduced the resp- lution and hoped it would not be necessary to tiring the bol into effect. He thought the Government might get by without continuing the Wheat Board, but if the board was necessary this year then they wanted to have the necessary power. If European countries tound it necessary to centralize buying. then Canada would haste to centralize selling. H. H. Stevens (Vancouver) failed to see why the Government should protect farmers from risk. It had not been proved that the board had any right to tlx prices, and its action$ savored of arbitrary price- fixing. A. B. McCoig (West Keno quoted a string of telegrams and letters from mil- lers, consumers and farmers in his con- stituency opposing the continuance of the board. R. J. Manan (Fort William and Rainy River) ionize for a grain ex hange in his constituency when he opposed further control. However. as this was merely enabling legislatidn and as the Govern- ment was behind it, he gave his support. Oliver R. Gout.$, the Progressive from Assiniboia, was not whole-heartedly in favor of the Wheat Beard. The men close to the line on the Canadian side got less for their wheat than did their American neigh'`ors a few miles across. The returns from the partiu motion tickets were still held up and farmers were de- prived of &Searle of dollars of their money as a result. Farther. there should be farmers on that board. On the othe- hand. the board gave the, farmer twenty miles from town an equal break with the man who was only a mile from the rail- way and elevators. so tui. the whole Mr. Gould favored continying the board for just one more sea Werth Verty,Tents a Bushel.
