SUCCESSFUL, CONVENTION
TThe Epworth Leagues and Sunday
Schools of the Wingham Distrist united
in holding a splendid convention in the
Methodist Church here on Wednesday
of last week. The weather was all
that could be desired and people came
in large numbers from the farthest
corners of the district. Every Epworth
League and Sunday School was well
represented. The very large attend-
ance, the excellent addresses and lively
interesting discussions made this con-
vention one of the best in the history
of Methodism in Wingham District.
The morning session opened at nine
o'clock with over a hundred delegates
present at that early hour.
Rev. A. J. Love conducted the
devotional exercises after which Rev.
F. E Clysdale gave an interesting
address on the subject, "Missionary
Challenge to Epworth League and
Sunday School." Mr. Clysdale made
good use of a chart showing missionary
offerings of the young people. "How
to Develop Christian Workers," was a
question given Rev. D, W. Williams, B.
A„ to answer. His address was full of
inspiration and helpfullness. Mr -
Henry Hopper gave a splendid address
on "Evangelism in the Sunday School."
The afternoon session opened at 2.15
with a lively helpful song service con-
ducted by M: W. H. Willis. About
three quarters of an hour was given the
Epworth Leagues to report briefly their
successes, difficulties, etc. Very
interesting reports were given, a
number reporting an increase in
membership over the previous year. and
promising an increase in missionary
offerings this year, Rev. Geo. Bennett
addressed the convention on "The Ep-
worth League Literary and Social.''
'The Efficient Sunday School" was the
subject of an address given by Rev. C.
R. Durrant. His address was instructive
and helpful. Miss Evelyn Mahood
emphasized the importance of the
development of the spiritual life of the
boys and girls in her address on
'Junior Epworth League Work." A
ively interest was manifested in the
'Round Table Conference" conducted
y the Rev. J. W. Hibbert. A large
umber of delegates entered heartily
n the discussions.
The evening session opened with a
ervice of praise in charge of Rev. J.
W. Hibbert. This was followed by the
ntroduction of the officers elect. Mr.
. H. Gibson gave an address that
as much appreciated by the con-
ention. His subject was "The
hailenge of the To -morrow." Rev. J.
. Knight, M. A., B. D. handled the
ubject "The Sunday School Teacher
n such a manner that there could be
o doubt in the minds of his hearers as
o the responsibility of the Sunday
ebool teacher.
Miss C. Hingston, Brussels, Mr. W.
. Willis and the church choir, under
he able leadership of Mr. F. J. Hili,
urnisbed the musical part of the pro -
ram to the delight of the convention.

ONTARIO LIBERAL FEDERATION
Some of those who took part in the Big
Convention held at London on
Wednesday, October 1Ith.
Every birthday celebration of the
Liberal Club Federation is better than
the preceding and its fourth birthday
celebrated in London on October the
llth was the best yet. The afternoon
session, as usual, was given up to busi-
E•S.LITTI,E
ness of the federation with Mr. G. D.
Conant, of Oshawa, the President, in
the chair, with Mr. B. H. McCreath, of
Toronto. the Secretary for the feder-
ation, with him. The delegates who
came from all parts of the province were
welcomed by Mr. Sidney Little, Presi-
dent of the London Liberal Club. In
addition to a discussion of detailed
business of the federation itself, there
were most interesting discussions on a
number of live Canadian and Ontario

public problems, including: -"Agricul-
ture," in such aspects as rural credits,
co-operation and agricultural education;
"labor" under such headings as the cost
of living, the relation of labor and
capital and forms of state insurance
covering unemployment and old age;
"citizenship" under which was dis-
cussed such questions as graft and
patronage system and "returned
soldiers," deals very ably under such
heads as pensions, vocational training
for the disabled and other aspects of
the problem.
In the evening, at an exceptionally
large banquet which oeeupied every
square foot of the Winter Gardens,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr. N. W. Rowell
and Premier Norris, of Manitoba, were
the principal speakers. These leaders
were introduced by younger members
of the federation and throughout the
day the accomplishments and further
aims of the federation were kept well
to the fore.

death of Clarence Donald kilted in action.
Pte. Donald's home was at Holywood.
Pre. C. H. Robinson, son of Mr. Fred
Robinson, of Goderich, who went over-
seas with the 71st Battalion, was killed
in action last week.
Pte. C. C. McDonald of Culross is
among the fatalities of the week. He
was with the 42nd Cameron Highlanders
and was a fine young man. The parents
have deep sympathy.
Pte. Andrew Habbick, another of the
Lucknow boys, has paid the supreme
price. Pte. Habbick left for,overseas
with the 33rd Battalion, but almost
immediately on arriving in England was
sent to the trenches.
Mr. W. C. T. Morson, manager of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce at Sea -
forth received notification on Monday

on the 7th Con. of Huron to Thos.
Harris, and purchased a 200 -acre farm
,on the 8th Con. Kincardine Tp. from
Thos. Harris. Ripley citizens and
neighbors heard the news of the deal
with deep regret.
Arscott Bros. have reopened their tan-
nery. Since the war the business has
been out of commission. Dyes and other
material advanced to such an extent
that the plant could scarcely make
profits. The product has now an e+ -
hanced value and there are bright pro,
pects ahead.
J. M. Govenlock, Reeve of McKillop,
received Official word thathis eldest son
Thomas Edward, was killed in action in

ST. HELI NM..
The village of St. Helens will pass a
landmark in its History on Oct. 14th,
when the post office there will close.
Owing to the developetnent of the mail
service, the volume of business at the
office has so fallen of that the Depart-
ment no longer considers it profitable
or necessary. The St. Helens office
was among the first to be opened in this
part and served the pioneer settlers of
Wawanosh and Kinloss for some time
before an office was opened at Lucknow
The Sr. HELENS .RIFLE CLUB and
friends met in the Hall here on Monday
evening of last week to arrange a fare-
well and presentPtes. Robt. McGuire,
Ed. Haines and Callum Cameron with
tokens of regard prior to their leaving
for overseas. Pte Cameron was pre-
sented with a fountain pen and the
others with signet rings. Mr. Wallace
Miller read an appropriate address, and
Mr. Jos. Anderson made the present-
ation, Each of the boys expressed
their grateful appreciation of the gift.
Short addresses were made by Messers.
Wm Me Quillin, John Joynt and Rev. J.
Little. Miss Colina Clark contributed
a very appropriate solo to the evening's
program. The meeting was closed by
all singing "God Save Our Splendid
Men."
THE PALL WEATHER
HARD ON LITTLE ONES
Canadian fall weather is extremely
hard on the little ones. One day it is
warm and bright and the next wet and
cold. These sudden changes bring on
colds, cramp and colic, and unless
baby's little stomach is kept right the
result may be serious. There is nothing
to equal Baby's Own Tablets in keeping
the little ones well. They sweeten the
stomach, regulate the bowels, break up
colds and make baby thrive. The Tab-
lets are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Not A Convicted Murderer.
At the present time there is not a
single convicted murderer in Canada.
For the first time in years the Minister
of Justice has no capital case before
him waiting his recommendation and
the final arbitrament of the Cabinet
Council as to whether the death sentence
should be carried out or not. The
dearth of murder cases during the past
few months may very properly be
regarded as another evidence of the
effect of closed bars in diminisbinng
crime.
