Iu view of the fact that it was here the final peace conference was held, it would be na-poo for any Wingham girl to fail to make 100 per cent on her exam, in reference to an event that hao meant so much for the welfare of the world. Several prior attempts were made to arrange terms of peace, but after each unsuccessful effort the war was resumed with renewed frightfulness until by the end of 1;924, Russia was the only European nation possessing a reserve supply of men and materials. This was owing to the fact that early in 1918 eho had withdrawn from tbe conflict to devote her attention to in- ternal reforms. Britain, and her great overseas Dominions, were exhausted; India, without Britain's restraining and 111101 guiding hand, was ruined by internal strife, famine and pestilence; the United States had become subject to. China; Japan starving and earthquake wrecked, was without power or in. fluence. There remained, therefore, at that time, only the two great republics of Russia and China with sufficient energy and resources to attempt to gather together and rebuild the frag- ments of a broken world, During the later years of tbe war millions of Chinese had flocked to America making a peaceful conquest of the continent. Strong opposition was made to their coming, but with- out avail, as their assistance had be. come an absolute necessity to carry on the farming and manufacturiog in• duetries of the countries then known as Canada and United States. The Wingham Board of Trade of that time, ever on the alert, grasped the opportunity, and held out the glad hand to these newcomers, with the result that what bad, up to then, been but a struggling town, soon became known as the Great Laundry City of North America. About this timetoo Wingham began to become famous ae an educational centre, having more schools and colleges according to pop- ulation than any other place in the world. In the adjustment of the dif'erences of the still feebly warring nations, it was recognized that there would be a lot of dirty linen to waah, and, more- over, au unlimited number of expert typewriter girls would be required to record the proceedings of the Great Peace Conference. For these reasons, therefore, and owing also to the force- ful representation of the Board of Trade. Winghean was ultimately chos- en as the most suitable place for the historic meeting to be held. Four delegates -were selected by China and four by Russia, and I wieh you all to remember the names of these gentlemen, as probably never before- in the history of the world, had so many wise and eminent states- men met around one Council Board. The Chinese delegates were Ling Pit. Bilk Yen, Ten Spot, and Run Yeg; and those of Russia, Nickabomb, Ib- etersi, Helltigsof and Wildorf. This will end our lesson for to -day, nd the members of the class m by now take out the College aeroplane, and fry up to the lakeside to review heir notes. To•morraw we shall probably con- tinue the lesson, specially referring to the great world reforms instituted at that time. s. . zfbles'.. ,''.8.k"AAtiors•.l•`..Wort 60Rtiti.STutat 4"": EYESIGHT TESTED At ItIcICCBBOH'S I ROG SWORE y, ; WIE Artr.

MURDERS YOUNG WIFE James McCracken of Morris Township shoots Wife then Himself Fired by the fury of jealous rage James McCracken, a young farmer of the fourih concession of Morris, near the oentre eideroad, shot and killed hie wife with a revolver at their horneAsia Sunday evening about six o'cloc McCracken and his wife had been *needed about six yeal's, but for the poet couple of years the husband bad claimed that bo could not leave his father and mother, who live on the fourth line, alone. So he, the greater part of the time, stayed with them on tbe next concession, whiie ebe and her little son remained and worked the 50. acre film on the fifth line. On Satur- day night husband and wife had heen to Brussels together and the deceased told McCracken of a proposed auto. mobile ride with some neighbors, and 'he ,forbade her, it is understood, to take the trip. However, the car ride was taken and on her return, about 0 o'clock Sunday night, McCracken is supposed to have lay in hiding, and when she went to do the chores is when the terrible deed was committed, he shooting her below the left ear. McCracken then walked home, about two miles, told his mother what he had done and then turned the weapon on himself, but he only inflicted a slight scalp wound before he was over- powered. Two doctors were telephon- ed for and Coroner Milne of Blyth, On examination it was found that Mrs, McCracken had died instantly. Mc- Cracken accompanied the doctors back to Bruesele, and before. Magistrate Leckie stated that he had the revolver as a protection from violence from bis wife's companions and that he threat- ened to shoot himself in her presence and when she wrestled to get the shooting iron it was discharged and killed her. Tho accused spent the night with Constable Long and at 10 a.m. on Monday a jury was impanelled by Coroner Milne of Blyth, who after hearing the evidence, committed Mc- Cracken bp Goderich jail. The deceased woman has no immed- iate relatives here, but Mrs. Alex. McIntosh of Brussels, is an aunt. Sho leaves a bright little boy five years old, Much sympathy is expressed for the father and mother of the accused, as they aro among the oldest and most respected families of the township. He also has a brother, a doctor, at the front, McCracken stoutly maintains that the whole affair was an accident and that he had not the slightest intention of taking her life, He made the fol- lowing statement to press reporter. "On Sunday morning I was down by' the river bank for a walk with my wife and little boy, when an auto drove up to the house. 'We went up -to see who it was. Those in the car were Wm. Kerney, who lives on the 4th concession of Morris, his wife, two children and James Thyne, a cousin who lives on the 3rd concession. Ker- ney said they had been out for a ride and drove around this way. He said he would take Mrs, McCracken out for a ride. She asked me if she should go and I said I would rather she did not. She went in the house and began to get ready. I asked where they were going. First be said be didn't know and thenho said that they were going to Alma and would be back about five or six o'clock." "I went into the house and asked my wife not to go. She was ready to go but when I asked her went and told Kerney she was not going, be- cause I did not want her to. I remain- ed in the Aimee expecting her to come back, I heard the auto start, and when I went out found they were all ,gone except my little boy. I took in little boy and went over to fathor's•for din- ner. My wife came back about five o'clock, I had just been back a few minutes when she arrived in the car. I had put a revolver in my pocket, and went out and spoke to Kerney, and told him he was not a man of much principle to do such a trick as he had done, I said I would not have thought eo much of the affair if they had taken the little boy along. We both got an- gry and my wife began to cry. When 1 went in the house with her she gave ma 0. lecture fee speaking as I had, The car drove away, Later Mre. McCracken became hysterical, but I got her quieted, and she and 1 went out for a walk around the faun. I had my hand on the revolver in ray pocket, when we were down by the pigpen, and told my wife that if any- thing else happened that afternoon I would neo it on thyself." "I went to draw the revolver from my pocket and she snatched my arm and the revolver discharged, The bullet went through her head. 1 was stupefied for a time, but as soon us I recovered I held the pistol to my head and pulled the trigger. Tile bullet etrilek me oti • the right side of the head and glanced off, I ran over to my father's house and asked him to telephone for a doctor," "My wife and I never bad any ser.. Ices trouble and we never separated. Sometimes I went over to my fatherts to work but It was for flnanclal rea. sons." Young McCracken has alwaye borne a good reputation and le about thirty RETURNED HERO WATCHED Presented With Beautiful Gold Watch By Old Friends On Wedneeday the 18,h of .July a very interestingevent took place at the horne of Mr. and Mrs, Jae.

Kind Friends: - 1 take great pleasure in thanking you for this address of welcome and preeentation. In the trenches we often used to wonder if the people did appreciate our services, but now I know the people of this community do. I may say that I did not really expect this for I only did my duty which is expected of every able bodied man in this Empire. I thank you one and all for this gift and for your kindness and good wishes. Hugh Russell, After the presentation the speech of the evening was given by Mr. A. B, Musgrove, M.
