THE TRENCH THAT FRITZ
BUILT
This is the trench that Fritz built,
This ie the Hun who lay in the
treeeh thee Frig built,
This lathe Run that kiUed the Hun
echo ley in the trench. that Fritz built.
This is the farmer's only son who
mans the gun, that killed the Hun,
who lay in the trench that Fritz built.
This is the fernier weary and worn,
who raised the son, who mans the
gun, that Milled the Hun, who lily in
the trench that raiz built.
This is she, who in youth's bright
morn, was wed to the man, now
weary and worn, 'tis she to whom the
son was born, who in front of the
battle, all tattered and torn, still mans
the gun, that killed the Hun, who lay
in the trench that Fritz built.
This is the Blacker, all shaven and
shorn, who drives a car with a tooting
horn, and laughs at the farmer weary
and worn, and his wife at work in the
early morn, hoeing potatoes and beets
and corn, because the son who to them
was born ie in front of the battle, all
tattered and torn, still manning the
gun that killed the Hun who lay in the
trench that Fritz built.
This is the maid who treats with
. scorn, the shifty slacker, all shaven and
shorn, and, his shining car with the
tooting horn, but honors the farmer,
weary and worn. and his wife who
helps him hoe the corn, and milk the
cows in the ear:y morn, for she loves
the eon who to them was born, who in
front of the eattle all tattered and
torn, still mans the gun that killed
the Hun, who lay in the trench that
i'rit z built!

Considerable discussion as to whose

Moved by Binkley and Tipling that
the Waterworks Committee be em-
powered to purchase two or three
hydrants to replace defective ones as
required. -Carried.
Coun. Spotton said that the County
Council do not give as large a grant
prorate to High Schools as they do to
0ontinuatioe, Scheele, Reeve Iebister
said that he was right and it was said
that village schools which taught con-
tinuation classes in some cases receiv-
ed a large enough grant to pay the
whole staff, but he would do his ut-
most to see that High Schoole received
their proper share.
A number of. uncertified accounts
were road and ordered paid when
properly certified to on motion of
Gonne, Binkley aced lS ilford. •
Mr, Spotton explained that the
reason his committee were not going

was simply because they did not wish
to hurt Blyth celebration.

for came. -Carried.
Moved by Coune. Spotton and Wil-
ford that in each case where a citizen
of Wingham makes the supreme sacri-
fice and no memorial service ie held
in any church in town that the coun-
cil of this corporation proceed to have
a fitting memorial service held on a
Sunday afternoon in the town hall,
that is, if it is the desire of the parents
or next of kin, -Carried.
This is an unusual step for a town
council but one which should receive
tl fe approval of every loyal citizen.
When a church, or the officers of a
church, apparently do not realize'it is
their duty to hold suitable memorial
services when some of their members,
or'adherents, fall for their country on
the battlefield, then the council is
perfectly justified in stepping in as
they have nobly done.
Mayor. McKibbon urged that the
ohairman of each of committee
present an estimate of the ex-
penditure and have same in the clerks
hands by the 26th so that the rate
could be struck at the next meeting.

the report of the finance committee be
adopted. Carried.
Councillor Tipling, chairman of• the
Street Com. stated that the mill bridge
had been repaired and a substantial
job made of same, the cost 'would be
in the neighborhood of $200. His
committee would ste to it that street'
wore would be gone ahead with now
that the gardens are all in. They also
recommended the putting in of a tile
drain from the corner at Lloyd's fac-
tory to the,Pringle drain. -
The Mayor stated that he bad re-
ceived a credit note in full for the
grader returned to the Sawyer -Massey
Co,
Reeve Iebister, chairman of this'
Property Committee, read a report
from the firemen who had tested and
flushed the hydrants and the report
showed them to be in bad condition.
Some had not been examined for some
time and were very 'lard to open,
The two men who examined them
worked nine hours and their account
for sam of $2 was left over until next
meeting. They will be examined regu-
larly in future, Mr. Iebister also
stated that the town has been visited
by the County Road and Bridge Com-
mittee, and they complained of the
unsightly dumping ground and the
rough road just south of the town ore
posite the prairie. The chairman of
the committee was pleased with the
fence built at the side of the road,
Mr. Tipling stated that last season he
had all the echos levelled at the sides
but the people persisted in continuing
to dump refuse on it and that was why
it looked bad always. The Mayor joc-
ularly remarked that several citizens
bad asked him if the flag pole in the
park was now in the position it was to
remain in. Mr. Iebister replied that
be was unable to get anyone to help
with it and that the pole would be
raised just as soon as the foot of it
could be dressed. When it is up it
will be one of the best flag poles in the
County. Coun, Spotton suggested
that perhaps it was net the .right sea-
son for planting poles.
Coun. Binkley chairman of the Elec-
tric Light and Waterworks reported
having increased Mr. Bowden's salary.
Mr. Fred Davidson had resigned and
Mr. Peterman was in his place. The
old coal shed had fallen down and his
committee was of the opinion that a
new cement shed should replace it,
He had a rough estimate of $300 for
a substantial shed.
Moved by Binkley and Tipling that
the council authorize the Electric
Light committee to ask for tenders for
coal shed at plant to replace one blown
down and that same be called for to
report at the meeting to be held on
Monday, June llth,-Oarried.
Moved by Binkley and Wilford that
employees of the Electric Light De-
partment, be paid twice a month in-
etaadof as at present.-Oarried,
Mr. Binkley remarked that ho had
to call on Chief Allen when the water -
main buret on Alfred St. and although
he had worked on it most of the night
and now he was surprised to find that
he had not charged the town with any
overtime at all. This was not the
only time that he had Worked and not
charged extra for it, Moved by Bink-
ley and Fothergill that Chief Allen's
salary he increased $5 per month from
nine xst, half of this to be paid by
the waterworks department and half
by the town.--Oarried.
Mr. Hinkley stated that three pati.
tions for waterworks extension were
now Waiting the 'council, but he did
not know what should be done about
going ahead with pipe f h them as i e wh1
ch
coat $42 per ton last year "was now
over $70. The mayor doubted if the
petitions were properly algned to pay
for it at the present coat. Coup, Tip•
ling thought If the people ple p etitioned
for the town water they had every
right to have it and especially the
petition which was held over from
last year, The elerk will look 1126 the
matter of whether or not these pelf.
Look over our samples before order-
ing. One lady recently remarked that
our work was as good tee embossing
