Proceeds in aid of Red Cross funds, Liquor Advertising There must still be a terrible thirst in the province of Ontario, judging from the number of liquor advertise- ments that are being offered The Signal, and doubtless to other news- papers. Every few days we have to reject business in this line. The adver- tisements declined within the last few weeks would have filled two or three pages of The Signal. We hope nobody will now rise up and say that'. The Signal is dry reading.--Goderich Si'' el. The TIMES has also refused several columns of liquor advertising.

Denison, and officers the active ser- vice staff's were am g those who at- tended, Recruiti g officers. goverment ofiicials,.soei y women, soldiers, re- turned and training, British -born people, Canadians pure and simple, working men and factory girls, pro- fessional men -everybody and all class- es, old and young -were represented in the crowds, The box offices at the Re- gent and the Imperial Theatres were be- sieged. -A squadof six or more police- men were kept on duty at the doorway of the Regent.

What Advertising Does Find a town where the local mer- chants are not strong newspaper adver- tisers and you have a town which is sure to be flooded with mail-order catalogues. The mail-order houses find they can get in such towns a great deal easier than anywhere else. Horses Wanted far Fran_e, Mr, Morris Segal will be Ingham at the Queen's hotel, on onday after- noon and all day Tues y, December 18 and 19th for t purpose of buying horses for the French Government. Horses to be between 5 and 9 years of age and in good condition. Farmers having horses for sale will do well to see Mr. Segal on the above dates. Auctioneers Responsible Judge Wallace, of. Woodstock;' bee decided that an auctioneer is responsible for the guarantee passed on to him by a client whose property is selling. The case was one in which Wm. Pullen sold a cow for .1. C. Brando, guaranteed by the latter to be sound, but which later turned out not so. The pur- chaser refused to pay the note. His Honer held that the auctioneer was a party to the guarantee, and therefore. must stand the loss, and recover from the vendor. A Promising Campaign. The Xmas Seal Campaign of the National Sanitarium Association, now in full swing promises to be a greater success• than ever before. Already thousands of Seals" have been sold, and ailarge number of repeat orders are being received. Buying these little Seals is such an easy way to help. They may be had in any quantity from One up. Every Seal sold aids in the maintenance of Needy Consumptives. Surely you can spare a few cents for this great cause. Father Blair Honored. On Monday afternoon Rev. John Blair left Stratford for Winnipeg, to assume his new responsible office there. Rev, Father Blair, whose home is in Stratford and who has a host of friends here and throughout Western Ontario, has been appointed Vicar General of the new Catholic arch -diocese of Winni- peg. Only seven years ago Father Blair was ordained. It is not often that an honor of this kind is conferred on so young a man. This is a matter of personal choice, as His Grace Arch- bishop Senott, Who was recently con- secrated at Ottawa, requested Bishop Fallon to allow him to take Father Blair out of Lc noondi" oces e with him. Many valuable gifts have been bestow- ed on Father Blair since his appoint- ment was trade known. His former parishioners 10 Wingham and Walker - Ville gave him substantial testimony of the position of love and esteem he held among them. Him brother -priests it; the diocese presented him with a beautiful address and a purse Of for hundred dollars in gold. As Vicar- General, of Winnipeg, Father /hair Will hold a very responsible position, but his past successes obliterate all foreboding of failure. He enters into hie new duties at once, but Archbishop' Senott will go to Winnipeg for a xew weeks yet. • .Excellent Christmas - • Suggestions Road our ad, on Ias u page 1.44. "Y WILLIS MUNICIPAL: MATTERS Nomination meeting will be held this year on Friday evening, December 22nd, Polling will take place on the first Monday of the New Year -January 1st, 1917. There has not been any change in the forcast as announced in last week's TIMES, It looks like all of' this year's Council seeking new positions or retiring from municipal politics. With practically a new Council to elect for 1917, it is important that the ratepayers take an active interest in this year's nomination and see that good men are placed in nomination. Wingham needs the very best men available to serve in the Couneil. Every ratepayer should make it his business to see that the proper men are induced to serve, and endeavor to make the 1917 a better Council that ever be- fore. But your responsibility will not end by merely inducing some worthy citizen to become a candidate. When he becomes a candidate give him all the honorable support you can. UP, BOYS! Up, boys, the guns have spoken, Put your common tasks away; Fife and drum our dreams have broken - Man's work there is to -day. Man's work! We must about it; Hell's gates have been unsealed. Man'swork! 0 never doubt it Yonder in the open field. Woman's part to bear and cherish - Man's has ever been the foe; Souls that daily. shrink and perish, Forward, or behind we go, What if death should be the ending? All must end, come soon or late, And to die the faith defending - Could there be a better fate? Up, then, let honor lead us; Gidhi ow nobler selves the sway; God and rare and freedom need us - Fora ard, forward to the fray! Up, boys, the drums are beating, On the alter lay your life; Duty done will give good greeting On the other side of life. Winifred Cotter in Toronto Star Weekly. t Married in Toronto.

Naegle, of Ash- field, was fined $50 and costs for bring- ing liquor into the county. The liquor was shipped from Montreal to Lucknow and if Mr. Naegle had resided at Luck - now and the liquor had been delivered to him there it would have been legal, but in going to Lucknow (which is in Bruce county) and bringing the liquor to his home, he committed the breach of the law of bringing liquor into the county, hence the fine.

The Newspaper. -Editorially the Owen Sound Adver- tiser makes a plain, reasonable state- ment which in passing is worth reading. It says "If a good newspapers is not an asset to a town neither 15 a good Wendt; and if a good newspaper is an asset to a town,it is then clearly the duty of every citizen enterested in his town, to co-op- erate with the editor of the paper, sa that as fares accuracy, reliability and infallible truth are cencerned, that pap. er will be all that can be desired, Co- operation is the key of success, it is an essential toharmony and sympathetic understanding; and is an integral factor in the maintainance of a good Council." the inch. r $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE EYE GLASSES (Wake a Suitable Gift.
