was well-known to many of our read-
ers.
A process of all-round pruning of
home mission work and mission grants
engaged the attention of the Presby-
terian Home Mission Board ata meeting
in Toronto last week. The task was a
delicate and a prodigious one, and it
was eventually decided to cut down ex-
penses in two ways: first, to occupy
fewer fields, and to reduce the grants
to augmented charges. These grants
were on the•whole reduced 25 per cent.

sages are eloquent and inspiring. A
cordial welcome is extended to all to
come and hear this splendid speaker.
Rev. E. G. Dymond, rector' of St.
Paul's Church, gave an interesting ad-
drese on "Patriotism" at the meeting
of the, Epworth League in the Method -
dist church last Monday evening.
His address was greatly enjoyed by all

Guild will be held at the Rectory Friday
afternoon. All the ladies of the con-
gregation interested in this work, are

Modern Uhlans.
The uhlans are a distinctive corps.
The name is by no means distinctly
German. A body of uhlans was form-
ed for the French army by Marshal
Saxe. They were introduced into the
Prussian service in ]740, and forty
years later the Austrians also had a
corps of uhlans—light cavalry armed
with lance. The modern uhlan may be
classed with the heavy cavalry.—Lon-
don Opinion.
Unanimous View.
A popular novelist was talking in
Chicago about genius.
"There are a hundred different opin-
ions as to what a genius is," said he,
"but all authorities are agreed that It's
absolutely unsafe to lend him money."
—Chicago Herald.

WANTS THEIR BUSINESS
"Willis, the shbe merchant of Wingham, advertises
as though he were interested in getting the people's busi-
ness and in keeping it from going to nail order houses.
A paragraph in his advertisement, which appears in the
Wingham Times, reads: We have twu ,;rices --cash and
credit—and our cash price is exactly the same as the
lowest advertised in any Canadian catalogue,
Yes, competition is keen in these days and it takes
merchants like Willis to succeed in spite of it."—Listowel
Banner
The above you will notice is from the The Listowel Banner of
a couple of weeks ago and was reproduced in last week's "Wingham
Times".
Yes, we certainly are interested in getting the people's shoe
business and we haven't the "shadow of a doubt but that we are
getting it."
Of course as everyone is fully aware business has not been of the
best this last year, but at that we are getting our share.
Here is a True Illustration
The writer of this 'ad. attended a dinner a few evenings
ago (and while the host and hostess were waiting for some of the
guests who had not yet arrived) he very rudely (as he had often done
before) scanned his eye over the shoes worn by the gentlemen of the
company and what do you think he discovered? Out of a total of 14
men. who wore shoes—two lived out of town—three wore shoes
bought at some other place than Willis' and nine wore shoes bought
at Willis'
The above statement is strictly true and is only one instance of
three in the last three weeks in which an almost equal average has
been noticed at similiar occasions. Advertising isn't everything how -
Take Note of the Following
ever.
In the Toronto daily papers of Thursday last (the 18th), in refer-
ing to the Shoes tor the 1st Contingent, which is now fighting for us
in France, the evidence produced (as shown by the News, Globe and
Mail and Empire) proved that the only shoes that stood the test were
THE MURRAY SHOES
Now to make an otherwise long story short, we wish to bring to
your attention the fact that we are sole agents for the Murray Shoe
(the best shoe that is made for men. This is one of several reasons
why we sell a large number of men's shoes. ,
