A great many citizens in Wing - ham would not know where to find the tiro bell in case of a fire. Would it not therefore be well if it were in some way, distinctly marked? While Wingbam has been very lucky by not having any Serious fires for some time, yet we never know where a blaze is going to get a good start, and a good way to let it get a good wart would be for the man who sends in the alarm, to pull the town bell instead of the fire bell, as bay been done on a couple oecassions of late. Sam Hughes Unscathed The Ottawa Free Press (Liberal), after General Hughes bad stepped out of the stand at the Shell Con- tract Investigation state((: ' So General Hughes left the stand without a dint in hili knightly ar- mor; without having lost a trench of. his d"fence works and without ass inch off h's lacrosse nose," The opinion of the Ottawa Free Press is the general opinion that Hughes has emerged from the or- deal With !lying colors, and that the attempts of Messrs. Kyte and Carvell to "get" the Minisiter have absolutely failed. General Hughes showed that he had no connection with any commission or knew noth- ing about any, that lie had from the first salad to have all orders let without the intervention cf auiddlemen, that it was through bis efforts that the prices of fuses were reduced, that he bad aimed to have all work possible done in Canada, ;and that he had acted only in the Vest interests as be judged them, of Canada and of tbe Empire.

PRODUCTION AND THRIFT Wheat and the War One of the most comprehensive at, - doles in the Agricultural War Book of 1016 deals with the subject of "Wheat and the War." It is written by Mr, T. K. Doherty, L L.B., Conn misaioner of the International Agri- culture! Institute. The author traces the course of events, as regard the wheat marker, in the momentous years of 1013, 1914 and 1915, the first - named, sharing with the last two years some of their importance—al though preceding the war—by reason of the decline of prices from those of 1012. Iu 1914 15 prices per bushel of B'itisb wheat jumped from $1 05 to $1,61. In this connection Mr. Doherty aske readers to examine a table giving quotations of prices slues the year 1800, In 7812 the figures reached their z nith, Br'it'ain having ware with Fe•ance and the United States on her hands. Wheat was then $3 80 a bushel or more than three times the standing of to day. During the first quarter of the nineteenth century the lowest price was $1•,^,7, this was in 1822. In the second quarter, the lowest figure was reached in 1835, when wheat stood. at $1 35: In tbo third quarter prices ranged from $1 17 in 1451 to $Z 27 in 1855, fluctuating after that from $1.22 in l861 to $1 95 in 1807 and down to $1.37 in 1875 In 1.877 the price was $1.73. In 1878 tbe quotation was $1 40 A period of steadiness followed until 1833, when there was a drop to $1 25 Ole decline continued, the even dollar being reached in the following year. Then, for the first time in the period covered in the table, or in 1A6fl, below that figure was reached 0i cents being the quotation. In 1801 the price was $1,03, the lowest point, nearly OS cents being touched in 1801. Four teen years elapsed before a dollar was again e;t. ceeded. In 1009 the highest qm t talon stood at $1 13. Mr. Doherty briefly outlines the cause for thee finctuat- ions, and proceeds to deal with the situation arising from the supply and demand in the last ltbree yparp. He also deals with the output of other crops during those years, referring to the best known authorities in support of his details and deductions. He goes largely into the requirements and productions of the world in wheat, giving tables showing the'ieJd in 32 countries of wheat and 22 of oats, jo his conclusion, he also suggests that every aspect of the wheat situation appears to indicate the improbability of a return to the low average prices of 1010, 11 and 12, and that following the declaration of peace there will be a greatly irtureased demand. His final words ate "Beonomic inter- ests unite, therefore. with patriotic duty in stimulating the agriculturists of Canada to extraordinary product- ive efforts during the forthcoming sea- son."

The following lines were written fifty years ago by a man who saw act- ive service in the Ridgeway fray and who now lives in Wingham, An outcry was heard on the Caned- ian border, A cry of a raid by a roughenly crew, Who unmindful of right but replete with disorder Had invaded our shores with a plun- dering view, The news on the wind, borne aloft on its pinions, Assailed the hearts of the peop'o who sprang to their arms, Should the dastardly wretches in- vade the Dominions Of the Queen that we love, at whose name each heart warms. No sooner the news had to Toronto came flying, 'Than loyalty struck up her soul stir- ring drum, The bugle note sounded the multi tude crying, "To arms, then to arms for the Fenians have come"! Briefly they gathered, their homes left behind them, L•rvery gun.in each hand, every anap- sack to back, Determined their country in duty should find them, Pledged to oorgner or die neatb the proud J'nion Jack. Not a moment was last ere the brave boys departed, - Mid tears, cheers and blessings, The gallant Queen's Own Left their parents, their sisters, their sweethearts and started, .Determined the foe, for his rail shout) atone, They charged with a will on the. roughenly horde, Each war cry was, many a Fenian knell. ' They did their depair bgtb with, musket and sword, But Tempest, Dufries and McEichern fell. Mourn! ()abode, mourn! for the dentia of your sons, Their young lives srrrretldered in battling for Ghee, Mourn, parents god eFstet's and those loved ones, Mourn for our, heroes who died to be free. Mourn fellow Soldiers, let tLe tear stain your cheek, On occasions like this it is manly to weep. Mourn fellow -citizens, both the strong and the weak, Mourn In anguish for those who now sleep their last sleep. Bang a laurel totaled wreath o'er the patript'a grave; Hymn a requiem song for the spiritg • that's fled, And breathe out a prayer for our worthy young braves, And murmur a blessing for those that are dead.

Since the saloons are clos• ed on Sunday there has not been a murder on that day and Monday ac- cidents have been greatly reduced. The editor of the Templar has been in Chicago investigating and has elven come interesting facts bearing on Sun• day closing. Ten thousand bar tend- ers will now have a day of rest and it has been estimated that the citizen sof Chicago will save about twenty >t million. dollars n year by Sunday clor- iPg, A chorus of approval comes from the heads of tbe big manufacturing and mercantile industries. Tho re ports show that there are fewer Mon• day accidents, merchants report sell• ing more goods on monday, and that Sunday r•ffieiency has greatly increas• ed in the factories. The foreman of Swift & Co. Packing Plant, Morris Cudahy and S. S. Plant all agree with the foreman at Ar - lemurs, who said, "Cur workmen name to the plant Mondays with clear heads and rested bodies. 11 was the com- plaint of all packers before the eteioons ;' Were closed that maneither men the' did not show up or were very little use on Monday. Last Monday all ttie tnsn were yromptly en band with steady muscles, rested bodies and minds tit for tbv'r tasks." " The manager of tho Illinois Steel Plant issued a statement to this Effect.
