TIIE DItIT: The Coalition infant's crib 'Tis Sifton'e hand that rocks, Meanwhile he croons a lullaby Like Uncle Josh's talks. Sir Wilfrid waves hie white plume high, He scorns Red Michael's knocks, The Leeberals will all vote right. The poor old Globe just talks. TUE TORY: We ve thrown our Jonahs overboard, The Grits are in a box, Conscription will be put in force, Bourassa only talks. While White is our financial man, With gold laid by in crocks, And Borden's hand is on the helm.

Communication was read from Mise Norma Dineley asking for a reduction of $10.60 in the assesementof the Dins - ley House for the present year and also last year as they had been charged for 130 feet frontage when the property only meaeured 108 feet. Chief Allen had measured the property and found only 108 feet. Moved by Reeve Isbist- er and Ooun. Tipling that Miss Dinsley be granted rebate of e21.40 overcharge of payment, sewer and street watering assesement'for two years when taxes for the year 1017 are paid, --Carried. Mr. Tbeop. Finnen complained to the council that he had been assessed for business when he had no business. He merely drew a few loads of ashes to help out when another team could not be got,'' The Mayor promised that the matter would be looked into. A petition signed by Wm. Tomkins and others asking for a sewer on Vic- toria street between Francis and Shuler Ste., was read and the clerk stated that it was properly signed. Moved by Coun. Binkley and Gurney that it be referred to the street sewers and sidewalks committee. --Carried, Chairman Biukley of the Water- werks Committee stated that his com- mittee recommended the selling of the house ou the waterworks property. This house has been advertised for sale by tender by the property com- mittee, but the meyor ruled that it was waterworks property and anyhow the tenders had been called for with- out first consulting himself or the council and he therefore asked the clerk to not accept the tenders. Reeve Isbister said that as chairman of the property committee he felt he was within his bounds in trying to dispose of it as it was an eyesore to the public. They had advertised for tenders for several days• Mr, lebister stated that he was not the only one who had sold things that bad not first been brought before the council or Mayor, The mayor stated that it was his ruling that the house belonged to Glee Water- works Committee but if the council decided otherwise by a motion all well and good. Moved by Coun Binkley and Tipling that the old house on the Waterworks property, near the mach- inery hall be eold by tender as the property of the Waterworks Com, Reeve Isbister called for the yeae and naes and the motion carried as follows: Yeas—Mayor, Spotton, Tip - ling, Binkley, Gurney and Wilford. Nae'—Reeve Isbister. Coun. Binkley drew attention to the fact that Coun, Spotton's new electric sign was according to meter. reading costing about 50 cents per hour, He said and the council agreed with him. that while they were not in favor of giving him a special rate, yet they might give a rate to electric signs. as wee done in other towns, The matter was referred to the Electric Light and Water Committee., Mr. Binkley also told the council that a water main had been put down on Alfred St. from Centre St, to Shut- er St. and that the town had supplied the pipe while the parties interested did the diggtng. The Mayor told Coun. Binkley that the work was not legal as it ehould have been brought before the council first. It will be re- membered that some time ago last fall a petition was signed asking for water from Centro along Alfred to Shuter and along Shuter to join water main ending at Mr, W. IL Willis. The natives of Shuler can surely now ex- pect to get water soon seein g tbat part of the ground for which the petition was signed is now being sup. plied. The usual number of accounts were recommended for payment by the finance committee and their report was adopted on motion of Ooun. Spotton and Reeve Isbister. Reevelebister stated that he had re- ceived the same grant from the Huron County council for patriotic work done in this district, as last Year viz. $182 45 and he had given $67,15 to the Ladies' Patriotic Society and $63.00 to the Women's Institute. Chairman Isbister said that if he was within his bounds he would like to report for the property committee that the firemen had examined all the hydrants carefully and all were in ex, tellent condition but the one On the corner of Minnie and Job ;It and one on Patrick St. which were both a little to hard to open and close. All dead ends will be blown out once n month, Chairman Tipling of the Street Com- mittee reported that the floating on the bridge at Lire mill woe in bad shape and he thought anew floor was heeded at once, The council were unanimous in the opinion that the work should be gone ahead with at once.

ODE TO THE 161ST IURONS The following versos were written by Mrs. Frank Elliott, Goderiob, on the eve of the departure of the Hurons from the county, May 23rd, 1016. The western eky is all aglow with light, Aud summer birds aro singing in the trees The blossoms now are almost snowy white, .And pretty flowers are nodding in the breeze. And, as I sit in that fair western glow, And see all nature in its perfect place I wonder if the Hand that made them so, Will crown me, too, and fill my days witb grace. And now the twlight denpene into night, The birds aid Hewers aro seeking 'wonted onted res w t, A still small Voice, is whispering with delight, Ali yes, my child. thou art more bounteous blest, The moon peeps out behind aSouthern cloud, As if to chase the darkness into night. The stili small Voice then whispers more aloud, Behold, ray child, I am this dark world's light. Serenely, then, I lie me down to rest, And leave to Hem the cares of come ing day, He watches nee, He watches all, He watchoe boat, For IIs is All, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Exeter Man Ilan IiW,ention Mr, It Bloomfield of Exeter, eeeP worked oht an invention that is hoped will help to solve the problem of the submarine blockade, by rendering use- less the work of a torpedo and by sav- ing a ship from sinking.

Wheeler Dear Sister: --- I started to write a letter to you some time ago and did not get it fin- ished so I shall make a new attempt tonight, I hod a letter from lt•3ba the other night and she was telling tree that you had another girl at your place, Mother was telling me that A,una May had gone home and (xertie was with her, Anna should be a big girl by now and a good belp. I bet Gertie is as quick as ever. How is Ted getting along ae school, 1 hope she continues in her good work, they will all be having holidays HO and haying anti harvest will he in full swing pretty soon, haying should soon be finished. Last year at thie Lime I was home with a mighty sore arm, and did not think then that by the 1st of August, 1017, that I would have spent 8 months in France. You never tenow what is before you, and a mighty good thing itis. Well, Aggie, I suppose that by tbis time you will have beard that Robt. leallis was killed. He wasn't killed instantly but died a few hours after- wards. It seems rather tough on the Faille family. I don't believe in tell- ing how good a fellow was after death but you would not want a more kind. hearted fellow than Bob, and I could always count on him and I felt real sorry when he was killed. It wasn't long afterwards when we thought we would all be "napooed' as Fritz put over a "barrage', I guess you don't know what that means, ask any old returned soldier and he will tell you. Strange to say we had very few caeu- alties, and it is wonderful how we es- caped. I received a few words of com- mendation from our Company Com- mander on my conduct during shell- fire and as a result was sent to the Divisional School of Instruction to take a N. 0, 0. course. We are taking up the work quickly and expect it will only be a short time until we again rejoin the Batt. So far we have en- joyed the course and are gaining a great amount of knowledge about military of sirs. IL is the first course that I have ever had and to me they are fine, they sure sharpen one up. 1 only wish I could attend them often- er or that they would last longer than they do, I had a letter from Bob and be was well when it was written. It seems et.aago that we are so close to one another and yet not see each other. We can only watch and wait, If I ever see any of the 31st 13att, you can bet I won't be long in hunting biro up. There was only once since coming to France that I saw any of the 31st Batt and that was Of long time ago: Frank Shaw is fine and he is about the only one with us that I know that you know, Walter Haines is well and often talks to me about; his sister. Walter is a fine boy and so far has been fortunate. Roes Forsythe was wounded along with Jack Hayden of Jamestown, and we did not think his wounds serious, but have learned since that he died. He was another tip top fellow and we were sorry to bear of his death. We long for this war to come to a successful ending soon and it seems a very great amount of sacri- fice, 1 often think of a verse Mrs. (Rev,) Mann of Brussels, quoted once: "0! King of Kings, Thy Kingdom come with power, Humanity is seeking after Thee, Teach us, 0! Father, iu this stirring hour The price of victory. No one can ever know or guess the price we are paying for victory, and the price is growing daily.When v e think of all the suffering that has been brought upon the world by a few auto- crnts, we are almost tempted to curse aristocracy, 1b did not bring .credit upon itself in starting this war, Well, Agnee, I would like to see you write a few letters to me as I have. written two to you without an anewer. Leone McKinney is o, k. and locks fiuc, so you can tell his people that. I hope this war will soon finiele and let us get home to the farm again. It seems too bad that mother is left all alone, but circumstances turned out that Wi'r'e. y and we are both in the Army but I wish Bob had stayed at home. I would like to see him. Well good• bye sister. Give love to all the girls. Y one Loving brother, jelizpah) Claes. FOIIREST Address: No, 054770 Pte Chas 13, Forrest 58th.(•0au) Battalion, 13. Lr, F.
