TO the Editor a The Times: Sir,—Certain manifestos and appeals have from time to time appeared in several of the newspapers throvighout tbe county, purportingt eraanate from the Huron County 1.1eteiness Nlerea eAssociatien and signed by two gentle- men ofClinton as President and Sec- retary, Before making any reply to their appeals the County Temperance Asso- dation would venture to ask who com- poses this "Huron County Business Men's Association?" A diffigent canvas of the business men of Clinton fails to disclose more than one business man of the town, other than the two signers of the newspaper appeals, who know any- thing about the organization. A similar report comes from Goderich and Wing - ham. Those who compose the County Tem- perance Association are well known and the list of its officers and members is available to anyone. If there is to be a fair field and no favor we submit that the Huron e; ain:y Re iless Men's Association should come out into the open and let us know who are respon- sible for those threaduare and common- place appeals. Our citizens ;:ould then know whether any weight is to be attached to these so called arguments, which already have been answered a thousand times, as it is unthinkable that they should emanate from either of the gentlemen whose signatures are attach- ed. F. 3ucHANAN. President. J. A. 'Imre, Secretary. in the y.ear 1910, 72 were intemperate drinkers, 252 were moderate drinkers, and 310, or 52 per cent. were TOTAL ABSTA.INERS. From this reture it is nialniv shown that TOTAL ABSTIN- ENCE PRODUCES FAR MORE CRIM- INALITY THAN INTEMPERATE DRINKING! And yet prohibitionists lose themselves in rapturous prophetic utterance, when they attempt to de- scribe the millenial conditieps of moral- ity, truthfulness, honesty, love, charity nnd affluence that will surrouud us. if we will only place the country under prohibition. The CRIMINAL OF TODAY, CAN- NOT DRINK TO EXCESS and ply his trade successfully, One more example of how prohibition works. Statistics show, that PORT- LAND, Maine, with a population of 52056 had ONE arrest for EVERY 24 of the population for the drunkenness. MILWAUKEE, with a population of 312025, in the same year, and possess- ing no less than 2145 saloons - the city that "brews the beer that made Mil- waukee famous"—had only ONE arrest for drunkenness out of EVERY 142 of the population. This is a fair compari- son of prohibition in Portland to license in Milwaukee. AND IN THE FACE Ote THESE FACTS, THERE CAN BE FOUND THOSE WHO IN THEIR BLINDED ZEAL DESIRE TO BRING THE COUNTY OF HURON INTO SIMILAR CONTATIONS '10 PORT- LAND. It is almost incredible!' Respectfully, THE HURON COUNTY BUSINETS MEN'S ASSOCIATION. JOHN RANSFORD, President. WM. JACKSON, Secretary. A1,VGItTI4E As T. FIURON COUNTY BUSI- NESS MEN'S ASSOC'. ATION. On Prohibition No. 10 An encoeraging feature of our en- deavor to thrt..w light upon the vexed question of how best to regulate the hquer traffic is the marked absence of any reply to our statements or argu- ments. It is true, that there have been a few letters in the County Press mak- ing 1 feeble pretence at anawering our papers; some, we regretefo say, con- taining s atements utterly devoid of truth, and apparently tie0oided of truth in order to try to brin mur association into conternpt; but o effectual, tan- gible refutation has een made, of any- thing we have hi erto published. A man has a perfec right to think that a prohibitory law s better than license la v, but e:HIN ING SO, and SAYING SO. will NV MAKE IT SO. We herVa reat deal about nearly all the ciirees.•eleaer heaven, being trace- able to drink. It is so easy to make sweeping statements when labouring under the concentrated fervour of momentary high pressure excitement of pu'pited exuberance! But the truth is, that a large portion of crimes attri- buted to drink are so charged on account of the cowardice inherent in 99 per cent. of criminals, who, willing to blame any- one or anything but themselves, when asked for the reason of their downfa.1, or what is frequently the case, wishing to escape the punishment due their sin, and to obtain pity in the eyes of the Judge on the bench, whine out, "Your honour, it's all along o' the drink!" -end in this way, one of the many bless- ings God gave to His creatures, has to be made the scapegoat of crimes in- numerable. Let us look at some inde- pendent statistics. OUT OF 674 con- victs sent to the Virginia State Prison Capital Paid Up $3,000,000. Reserve $3,750,000. Total Assets Over $48000,000. Your Successful Friends THOSE envied boyhood companions of yours who have made a success in the business world, probably made their own fortunes by ss stematic saving. When their opportunities arrived, the aecumulated savings were large enough to take ad v ant age of them. Few suceessea are attain- ed without money to the (MIN with a savings accaunt many tnings are poesible. Without further delay you should open an account with this bank. One dollar Ls enough. Make saving a habit: and your regular de- poeits. together with the It:tereOlt they will earn, will build up your balance in a surprisingly short tiro,. C. P. SMITH IVI sneeer, Wingbant HOWIteik, One of the oldest and most highly respected p:oneers of Huron county, in the person of Mrs. Christina Campbell, passed away at her home in the town- ship of Howick, county of Huron, in her eighty-eighth year. She was born in Strathkinness, Fifeshire, Scotland, in 1826, and in 1858 landea in Canada. The following month she was married in London, Ont., to Donald Campbell. They settled on lot 26, concession 18, township of Howick, where they con- tinually resided ever since. Deceased was a lifelong member of Knox Pres- byterian Church, Clifford.

VONIENIIONIP er at Berlin; and Miss Ellen at home. Mr. and Mrs. Kirkby are well known residents having resided in this town ship for the past 35 years. The former is 76 years of age and his worthy help- mate only a year his junior, both en- joying comparatively god health. It is a most unusual incident to have so large a family, and some who reside so far away, mingle together in happy reunion at the old homestad. The family is to be congratulated and rejoiced with over the auspicious event. One of the music- al numbers rendered by the family was a chorus entitled "Happy New Year," which indeed it was and fully enjoyed by all present. HEALTH FOR BABY. To keep the baby healthy and strong his little stomach must be kept sweet and his bowels working regularlY—that is the secret of health in littte ones. The mother who keeps a ' upply of Baby's Own Tablets in the ouse can feel reasonably sure that hfr littie ones are going to escape the r ults of child- hood ailments, for he Tflblets instantly relieve and cure sucth jfoubles as con- stipation, indigesti colds, colic and worms by regulating the stomaqh and bowels. Concerning them Mr. Jas. Deroche, Cache Bay, Ont., writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for three years and have always found then the best r amedy for little ones." They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. On Wednesday, Dec. 31st, at 4 p. m., a pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Henry and Mrs. Jackson, 8th line, when their daughter, Miss Jessie H., and Wm. A. Logan, of Blyth, were united in marriage by Rev. Geo. Jewitt, in the presence of forty guests. The principals took their places under a decorated arch as the Wedding March was played by Miss Maud Jackson, sis- ter to the bride. They were unattended. Bride wore a most becoming custome of white Duchess satin. After congratu- ations the company sat down to an elegant supper. The officiating clergy- man proposed the health of the bride and groom in which all joined heartily. Evening was spent very pleasantly after which Mr. and Mrs. Logan drove to their own home. Bride was present- ed with a fine piano by the groom and the pianist received a pearl tie pin. Among the guests from a distance were II. and Mrs. Coombes and son, Orville, of Deloraine, Man.; R. R. and Mrs. McDonald, of Brigden; Mrs. Gorville, Miss Jean and Jack, of London; and Wesley Logan, from the West. Mr. and Mrs. Logan enter on married life with the hearty good wishes of a wide circle of relatives and friends. On New Year's Day the home of ex Deputy Reeve, George Kirkby and his better half, 8th line 'Morris Township, witnessed a happy scene in the gather- ing d the 10 children, who constitute the family. The pleasure wile greatly increased by the arrival of John and Mrs. Shortreed, from the far off Peace River country, and ,Ino. Caistor and wife, Of Cate City, Michigan. Veasting on the good things of the land, Vocal and instrumental music and social chat tilled the passing hours, which sped all too quickly. There were 28 in all pre- sent. The children are Jonathan, on the homestead; Henry, V. S., of Bel - grave; and Herbert, 7th line; Mrs. Caistor, Mrs. Shortreed, already referr- ed to; Mrs. 1`. McCall, of Morris; Mrs. R.
