Redmond presided and after the reading of the minutes by the secretary, W. J. Greer, tho election of officers was proceeded with and the following were elected: President, -Dr, R. 0. Redmond. 1st Vice Ptee.-Mrs. G. W, Walker, Gerrie. 2nd Vice Prce,-Dr. Armstrong, liorrre. Secretary -Henry liorney, Blyth. Treasurer -Mayor 111cKibben, Wing - ham, Convenors for the different divisions are: Ashfield, -T.- G. Allen and R. J. Webster. Blyth -Henry Horney and Dr. Black - all. Howick-W. H. Grigg aro D. S. Cook, Turnberry-A. Wheeler and Robt, Musgrove. East Wawanosh-John E Ellis and P. W. Scott. West Wawanosh-George Young- blutt and Wm. McQuillin. Wingham-Dr. Irwin and D, E. Mc- Donald. Murris-R. Proctor and George Han ey. Wroxeter -T. Hemphill and George Leckie. Dr: Redmond welcomed the ladies into politics saying he thought some people had a dread of politics because they always thought them vile and pointed, but the Conservative party he thought, was pretty well cleansed, and should they become bad then we will not support them nor will we ask our ladies to vote for them but. rather to vote against them. Mrs. D. M. Morrison spoke directly lo the women present on their partici- pation in politics, and pointed out how step by step during the twelve years of office, the Conservative Govern• ment at Toronto bad led public opinion towards advanced and. far-reaching legislation. She appealed to the wo- men for unity at this time, and asked those present who had relations at the front to remember that their boys were fighting for the liberties of Can- ed , and any who sought to divide the people at this hour of trial were un- worthy, A. H. Birmingham also spoke on organization. Mr. A. H. Musgrove, M. P. P., gave a sidelight on the hotel situation in Ontario before the Ternperence Act was proposed by the Government, After one year's survey of the whole question from the standpoint of public convenience the Provincial Board of License Commissions, which supersed- ed the local boards, proposed to cut off 530 licenses from the 1,300 that had previously been issued. In the face of such a recommendation from the board and growing necessity of cur- tailing every dollar of unneceesary expenditure and promoting efficiency among the people, he challenged any- body to say that even without a direct mandate from the electorate, the Gov- ernment did not act wisely. Referring to the extension of the franchise to warners, Mr. Musgrove said that although the Government had been bombarded session after ses- sion by certain ladies wearing seal sacques and dressed in. the height of fashion, demanding the franchise, it was the great work of the women of Canada, the unselfiieh devotion of the women of Ontario to the cause of the war, that won for them the vote. Mr. Musgrove touched briefly on other outstanding acts of the Government, As a member of the Public Accounts Committee he said that the Liberals had failed to find one dollar of public money wrongfully expended. Paesing to the activities of the Gov- ernment in the war he said the Ontario Military Hospital at Orpington, en- larged to accomodate over 2,000 patients, was a monument to the generosity of the province, while equipment of bedding, blankets and fixtures had been manufactured at the principal industries at Guelph; Emphasis was placed on the work of the Soldiere' Aid Commission and other efforts being put forward by the Gov- ernment to assist the men back into Civil life. He entertained high hopes for the success of the fanning move- ment in Northern Ontario, where both civil and agricultural training was promoted. In conclusion, he said Mr, Rowell's proposal to abolish the bar and not the shops would have Ieft a sink hole that would destroy any other prohibition. James Bowman, M.P. for North Hur- on, epoke on the conscription issue at Ottawa and attacked Sir Wilfrid Lausier. The Liberal leader would not enter a coalition 11linietry and now proposed to defeat a measure to swell reinforcements to the soldiers at the front by means of a referendum f, Iio expected the referendum amendment would be defeated by 25 or 30 votes and then Would come the exteneion of the life of Parliament.

The day of the political preacher of the gospel is by no means past. Wing- bam peopleare occasionally treated to strong political oration, by way of a change. Rev. Mr. Armstrong made a favor- able impression upon his hearers at his firet services in Wingham on Sun- day. He is a forceful speaker with a clear delivery, Mr. and Mrs, Tullerton Lutton -re- ceived word from their son, Sergt. Thos. Lutton last week in which he stated that his brother, Sergt.

Consequently Lieut. H, F. White has postponed his recruiting campaign in Wingham and vicinity. A gang of Mexican gypsies landed in town on Thursday and as usual Chief Allen was on the j ib and invited them to leave at once. Although they were dressed in the same glad rags and had the "same longing to get money or jewellery with which to tell your fortune. yet they wore not driv- ing the usual vans, but up -to date automobiles, to the tune of fiver The party who is circulsafng the report that some of the ladies, who are always foundready and willing to assist in doing Patriotic Work, are keeping money from the funds to pay their time, bad better not go too fait. They may have ahard time explaining before a magistrate as to where they get their information.

Ballantyne is No, 314726, 105th Oanadian Seige Battery, Army P. 0., London, Eng.: - Tun ADVANCE was very m'nch sur- prised at being asked why we had not inserted this letter last week. Well, we had a very good excuse, thegentle- man, to whom the letter was given, did not hand it to us for publication, France, April 20, 1917. Dear Mrs, Pender:- You have no doubt already been in- formed by the war office that.your son made the supremo sacrifice, dying from wounds received on the 21st. We were working around the gun, about two o'clock in the afternoon, when a shell landed close to our gun, wounding your son in the head, render.' ing him uncone.ci„ue shortly after- wards. He was rushed •to a nearby dressing station and although every- thing possible was done, God called him home the following day, at noon. It has been a sore blow to us all here and we all feel his lose keenly, but at the same time feel that our Borrow and lose in like a drop of water in the ocean compared to what his dear ones he left at home have to bear. The love, we all realize between mother and son is unfathonable and our heart's go out to you at this your, time of trouble and pray that God will com- fort you in your time of sorrow as He alone can comfort. I have been with "Larry"(011ie) ever since he enlisted, in fact we were ex- cellent friends from the time he work- ed in Walkerville, for the Dominion Bank, and knowing him as I did can easily say a truer, more noble friend, uo man could want, always the same, with first thoughts for others. As a soldier, one of tho best, fearing nothing. OLIVER PENDEit• I have a few of his personal belong. inge, which were in hie tunic at the time of the accident, which I will for- ward to you at the first opportunity. I took the liberty of distributing 'among his best friends a parcel sent by you to Sim, knowing that it would be very improbable that you would ever see it again even if you did desire it returned. Trust I acted in accord- ance with your desires and Mrs. Pen - der, 1 wish you would look on mo as a friend of yours as I was of your eon, and if at any time I could be of any service to you, or you wish to know anything about your son, it would be the greatest pleasure to do anything within my power for you.
