A New Idea That Wilt De
BeneDeia) For. Both
Merelmnt and Fanner
• Since the Canada Temperance Act
has come into force here, the aceoiro.
dation for the Farmer has been very
unsatisfactory and just what copld be
done, seemed to be the question.
No doubt a shed for the purpose of
sheltering horses CQUid have been erect.
ed. but what about the Farmer and his
Family? Were they to stand about on
the street or in some Merchant's Store?
No: Mr. Lepard has solved the problem,
viz: that he would build a covered shed
to accomodate all the horses that come
to Wingham. But that is not all; he
would also fit up sitting rooms, install
toilets and wash basins for both Ladies
and Gentlemen in the Hotel building
and rename the Hotel, "The Farmer's
Herne."
A merithership fee of $5,00 per year
will be charged for family ticket,
which will entitle the family (boys over
• fifteen excluded ), to all the privileges
of the shed and house accomodations
and boys over fifteen years of age will
be charged $1.00 per year, but will also
have the privileke of using the shed
with his parents horses. The horse;
will be tagged making it unnecessary
to carry tickets. •
Those wishing to b4come members of
'The Farmer's Home' will do a great
frivol' by calling at the Hotel and save
considerable work and time canvassing.
The fee will not be asked for till the
first day' af May next.
••The present stable will be kept open
for the travelling public, also meals at
regular hours,
We would ask all farmers to give this
matter their consideration and act
quickly, so as to enable Mr. Lepard to
proceed with the erection of the sheds
and the alterations to present buildings.

Women's Institute Notes
The Wingham Women's Institute has
been doing a splendid work for our boys..
Misses Hogg and Anderson, were a
committee formed to buy andegive out
yarn for. socks. On Friday 46 pairs
were sent away to the trenches. Also
two pairs each to E. Copelatel, Ross
Maxwell, Geo. Moffat and G. Murchison.
We purpose sending these boys(the
mothers being members of our Institute)
two pairs each, every month. Come
and help us in our good .works.
Turnberry Agricultural Society.
The adjourned annual meeting of the
Turnberry •Agricultural Society was
held on Thursday afternoon last with a
very good attendance in the face of the
disagreeable weather. Tte reports
submitted showed that the Society had
closed, in many respects, a very Suc-
cessful year. At the Wingham fall
fair last year the society paid over
$100.00 more in prizes than was paid in
1914 and the receipts for the year were
considerably less than in 1914. The of-
ficers and directors elected were as fol-
lows: --Hon. President, John 3. Moffat
Hon. Vice President, W. J,. Currie;

ectors. It was decided to twain enter
the field crop competition and the vol.

This is a very popular feature .of the
society's work and last year saw a very
large list of entries in the' eompetition.

Well Known Letturer Coming.
Wingham is again to be favored with
a lecture by Mr. T. H. Race, the Field
Seeretary of the National Sanitarium
Association, Doubtless many remember
the lecture given some time ago as in-
tensely interesting, thoroughly instruc-
tive and eminently • practical. We
understand that much new information,
a number of special views and most in-
teresting moving pictures • are to be
given on Sunday evening, February
6th, at 8 20 p. m., in the Town Hall.
Dr. Redmond has kindly consented to
occupy the chair. No charge will be
made for admission. • We 'cannottea
heartily commend this lecture to our
readers.
Why Not Enlisting
The Lucknow Sentinel says -"Whet
is the matter with our home boys" (that
they do not enlist)? asks a local
exchange. All sorts of excuses are
given; their families and relatives, obe
ject they say, but we notice that when
the same parents and relatives ob-
ject to other doings it does not make
the slightest difference; the sons, so
obedient when it comes to joining the
colors, then do exactly as they please.
Why this great show of obedience?
Another way of putting it would be;
for these young fellows, when they
want to go to the devil, father, mother
and friends may plead in vain, but
when it comes to going to war, father's
and mother's word is law.
