The Trail Rangers 'programme has been especially planned for boys 12 13 and 14 years of age. The terra aTreil Ranger' was ,dhosen because it suggests 'the out-of-doors life wihieh has a very strong appeal to tate ima- gination of boys in Itis 'a.erent of/ Life. The term `trail' is familiar to boys in all marts of !Canada.

Staffa Death of John Sadler, Sr. -John Sadler, sr., of Staffa, passed away on Saturday, January 18th. Deceased was in his 78th year, and for the past year had been suffering from the ef- fects of paralysis, having been stricken with a paralytic stroke last sping and was confined to his bed ever since. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relatives. He was popular, one of nature's noblemen in its truest sense generous and manly. He was the soul of honor and his friends were many. There was something about his life which won every heart. He be- lieved that the man who scattered flowers in the pathway of his fellow- men, who lets into the dark places of Iife the sunshine of human sympathy and happiness, is following in the footssteps of his Master. Besides his wife he is survived by two sons and two daughters: Robert A. and Win. Sadler of Saffa; Mrs. D. Eizerman, of Mitchell, and Mrs. Trick, in the west. The service was held at his late home at 2.30 p. na., on Monday, after which interment took place in Staffa cemetery. To the surviving family the sympathy of the connnunity is ex- tended.

We are pleased to see Mr. Charles 1' Jinks around again after being con-, fined to his home for several weeks through illness, The relatives and friends of t'td. D. Kipfer, are pleased' to welcome hien home from overseas' as one who enlisted for overseas., service early in the war with the 16ist Herron Battalion, Mr. William Stoneman, one of the pioneer residents of Hensall who carri- ed on business as painter and paper- hanger, for a long terra of years and who left here together with his family some eight years ago for the west, is hotne here visiting relatives and. • friends A very large number of our vil- lagers and other from the rural dis- trict, together with our brass band, as- sembled at the station to welcome hotne Ptes. Ross Dick and Charles Canfield from overseas, but while the latter arrived as expected, Ross Dick did not get through until the follow- ing morning, which was a disappoint- ment to his many relatives and friends. The latest soldier to return from. overseas was Driver W. Glenn, who was a Hensall boy, but who enlisted with the 3rd Divison in Toronto. He was met by a. large number of citizens and the Hensall brass band. Posttnaster G. J. Sutherland addressed a few words of welcome and hearty cheers were giv- en by large crowd. Driver Glenn has spent three years in France. Our °Council, we believe, are being petitioned to • grant a certain suns to assist in the erection of a memorial for our brave boys who gave their lives for King and Country. This is a step in the right direction and in that way the sutra granted wilt not come heavily on a few as is sometimes the case in such instances. The grant will no doubt be largely raised by subscrip- tions from the rural districts, so that a memorial worthy of the name can be erected to he memory of our fallen heroes. There has been a number of chan- ges in property here during the past few weeks, Mr. George Scott purchas- ing Mrs. McPherson's shop and house in one; Mr. Fred Bengough purchased several lots formerly owned by the late Mr. Busch; as did also Mr. Richard Pollock, while the latest sale is that of Miss C. V. Smith's store and dwell- ing in one which through her agent, G. J. Sutherland, she sold during the past week to Mr. Thomas W. Parlmer, adjoining her store, who intends on or before the 15th of March, moving his grocery stock and restaurant there. Miss Smith, on account of failing health, found it too hard to carry on her millinery business. Stoneman -Mitchell.- At Hillcrest farm, Tuckersmith, at high noon Wed- nesday,"January 22, the home of Mr. and Who. John T. Mitchell was the scene of a pretty wedding when their youngest daughter, Violet Gertrude, was united in marriage to Mr. James Carl Stoneman of Hibbert. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. A. E. Doan, M. A. B. D. in the presence of about forty guests. While the wedd- ing march was being played by Miss Ida Hothan aunt of the groom, the young couple were unattended, took their place under a beautiful decorated arch, the bride daintly attired in Ivory Duchess satin trimmed with pearls, with' bridal 'veil and orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of car- nations and roses. The bride, was giv- en away by her father. Congratula- tions over, during the signing of the register, Miss Hotham sang "Friend of Mine." The bridal couple led the way to the diningroom where a sumptuous dinner was served. The groom's gift to the bride was a pearl necklace and the gifts to the young couple were numerous and costly. Amid showers of confetti and good wishes they left for a short trip, after which they will reside on the groom's farm on the 12th concession of Hibbert.

'County Secretary G. M. Elliott, of the Children's Aid Society addressed the council with reference to the case of a crippled child who should go to the Sick Children's Hospital for treat- ment. The family had moved from one municipality to another and being shifting population neither one felt it was responsible for the cost of the child at the hospital, Messrs. Bailie and Clark moved that the county assume the cost. An application from Turnkey Knox for increase in salary was received. Public School Inspectors Tomand Field asked for readjustment of their allowances for travelling expenses on account of the Increased cost of trav- elling. His Honor Judge Dickson and Capt. Richards of the Savation Army made an appeal for a contribution to their fund for work among the Canadian soldiers overseas or returned. The Army was at the front as soon as war started and the one rule in connec- tion with their work was to refuse assistance and comforts to no one. A letter was received from the Strat- ford Provincial Highway Committee announcing a meeting in Stratford Feb. 11111, to which the council of Huron County was asked to send re- presentatives. This is in connection with a movement to have a Provincial Highway constructed through Strat- ford, with a possible extension to Goderich and Owen Sound. In this connection Mr. C. L. Moore and Mayor Wigle, from the Goderich Board of Trade, waited on the council and in- timated their willingness to assist in snaking a large representation at the Straford meeting. The Red Cross grants made at the December session have not been dis- tributed as the Red Cross Societies have ceased Red Cross work and gone into Belgian retie`('. The council, how- ever, passed a motion that the grants be paid, considering the work of Bel- gian relief as worthy an object as the other. Motions for the following grants were referred to the executive corn- Plank. mittee: $25 to each Agricultural So - city holding a fall fair; the usual Limitation of Armaments Has Also grants to continuation and Fifth class schools; (;1,000 each to the Goderich and Wingham hospitals; $25 to each public library in the county; $25 to each Board of Agriculture and $10 to each Women's Institute; $25 to the spring seed and live stock shows at Seaforth, Clinton and Hensall; $25 to each school fair; $500 to the Children's Aid Society; and $20, to the Salva- tion Army to be expended for the benefit of the Canadian soldiers over- seas and at home. A motion by Messrs. Sanders and Davis is to the effect that the Govern- ment be asked to legislate so that the tax on drugs be imposed on the manu- facturers of same. Referred to com- mittee. Dr. Clark and Mr. Ford moved that the executive committee take up the matter of adjusment of all salaries and report at this meeting. The appointment of keeper, matron and assistant matron for the House of Refuge came up. Dr. Clark, R. Liv- ingston and G. Young with the House of Refuge committee were empowered to consider the question of the appoint- ments and report, an amendment to leave the matter over to the June ses- sion being defeated. The Co. Council concluded its ses= tub - id x - growing districts in the world, and of these counties Huron is first, accord- ing to the official figures, with 30,165 bushels, Lambton coming next with 26,347 bushels, There is consider- ably more flax raised in the five coun- ties named than in all the rest of the Province together, As a live stock county, Huroli pro- duces a large quantity of mixed grains 1,527,879 bushels. Only Wellington and Oxford exceed Huron in this re- spect, with 2,604,366 bushels and 1,582,576 bushels, respectively, Hur- on grows also 2,232,384 bushels of turnips and 1,424,142 bushels of man - gels, several counties exceeding it in. production of turnips, but only one county (York) going ahead of it in mabgels. Rye, buckwheat, peas, corn and pof tatoes are relatively unimportant crops in Huron; but in beans this county, with a production of 180,395 bushels, is exceeded only by Kent, which is credited with 278,607 bushels. Huron is sixth in production of alfalfa. In hay and clover Huron is third with Middlesex and Grey leading. Middlesex and Huron have the larg- est extent of cleared pastures and in extent of orchards Huron is third, the acreage in the leading counties being: Northumberland . , ..17,386 Lincoln 15,366 Huron 12,718 From these figures it is easy to make out a case for this grand old county as one of the most important counties, agriculturally in the Province, or for that matter, in the Dominion of Canada, It is a pre-eminence founded, too, on staple products, so that Huron farmers by developing along present lines may assure this county a foremost position among the wealth -producing areas of the Dominion. PLAN OF NEW LEAGUE Compulsory Arbitration Is One sion by voting $22,000 to the Salva- tion Army and $1,000 to the Children's Aid work. The salaries for County officials are as follows: Breen Providerl' for and a Series of Penalties Against Nations Guilty of Provoking War -Delegates to Organization of Nations Submit Result of Labors. PARIS, Feb. 3. -Leon Bourgeois, the French delegate on the Society of Nations, on Sunday presented to Pre- mier Clemenceau, Premier Lloyd George, Premier Orlando and Presi- dent Wilson the text of the proposal for the formation of the league as agreed upon by the international or- ganization embracing the British, of which Viscount Grey is'president; the Italian, French and American, of which W. H. Taft is president, and other associations. M. CIemenceau had previously ask- ed M. Bourgeois to secure an agree- ment on the details among the advo- cates of the project in all countries and the plan presented was in re- sponse to this request. It provides for compulsory arbi- tration in all disputes without ex- ception; the limitation of armaments and a series of penalties against na- tions provoking war, and a detailed provision is made for the organiza- tion of a Society of Nations, to which all countries giving guarantees of loyal intentions are admitted.

A bulletin issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and dated November 1918, gives some informa- tion along this line. We all know the Huron is a horse and cattle county, but it is interesting to know that the number of horses on hand this county is third in the Province, the leaders being: 35,567 34,320 33,194 also in cattle, the Simcoe Middlesex Huron Huron is third figures being: Middlesex 146,974 Grey 131,359 Huron 129,607 In sheep and lambs Huron is away down in the list, the three leading counties being Grey, Simcoe and Ren- frew. in swine Huron is fourth in the Province, as follows: Kent 92,494 Essex 92,414 Simcoe 70,594 In poultry Huron is second: Middlesex 629,424 Huron 606,962 How many people knew that Huron county had twelve head of poultry for every pian, woman and child in the county? In wheat production Huron is not among the leaders, but in barley it is fourth in number of bushels, and in oats it is first.

American, British, and X'+renelk Sol,- diers :tjlave Fallen Back Forty Miles Before the Pressure of the Bolshevik Armies, Whielt Greatly Outnumber the Forces at the Disposal of AIlied Commander, PARIS, Feb. 3, -It is reported. from authoritative sources that the French and British Governments, supported by the United States, are contemplating an immediate with- drawal of all Allied armed forees from Northern Russia. The proposal is based on the semi-official report that the Lenine-Trotzky Government will consent to participate in the suggested Prince's Islands parley on condition that the Allies evacuate the territory now held by them in Northern, Russia. It also is under- stood that the British, regardless of the action taken by the United States and France, will attempt to withdraw their forces before March. Another violent attack by the Bole sheviki on the American, Russian and British positions at Taresevo com- pelled the hard-pressed and out- numbered little Allied column in this sector to withdraw Friday about 40 miles. Its new position is at the vil- lage of Srymakrenga. The Bolsheviks attack followed a bombardment in which gas, incen- diary, shrapnel and high explosives shells were used. It was the first time that gas shells had been em- pioyed in North Russian warfare. The shells were of the German type. It has been learned that early In January, in connection with the general plan to make the Bolshevist army a formidable force by early spring, gas schools were opened at Moscow. The Bolshevists, whose active forces in the field from the River Dvina to Vologda railroad are esti- mated to number 15,000, brought up still more artillery and are heavily shelling the new American position on the Vaga river, and also the posh tion on the Dvina, at Tuigas. The other sectors are comparatively quiet. The American evacuation of Tare- sevo came only after a week of fight- ing in this sector in which the Bol- sheviki kept persistently on the of- fensive, after suffering considerable Loss in their first attack, which was repulsed. Although attacked at Taresevo from three sides and greatly out- gunned, the defenders held on there until Thursday, when a flanking column of the enemy, with guns, proeeeded northwestward over a winter road and began an attack on the village of Gore, which is on the line of communication northward between Taresevo and Srymakrenga. The little detachment of British and Russians at Gore, held out until the American Taresevo forces com- pleted its evacuation. The two forces then joined, retreating north- ward in good order. REEVE HAS PNEUMONIA. Result of Action of Owen Sound Mob. OWEN SOUND, Feb. 3. -The ac- tion of the mob in running Reeve Weber, of Neustadt, out of town on Thursday night was discussed at the final session of the County Council on Saturday. Weber walked to Shal- low Lake in a heavy rainstorm Thursday night and spent the bal- ance of the night in a shed in that village. He boarded the morning train at Shallow Lake and is now ill with pneumonia at his home in Neu- sta.dt. The town of Owen -Sound is threatened with an action for dam- ages i1 he recovers, and in case his illness proven fatal the ringleaders in Thursday night's episode will be in an awkward predicament. The warden of the county, Mr. John Me - Quaker, and Elias Lemond, deputy reeve of Owen Sound, both expressed regret at the occurrence and assured the council that the citizens of Owen Sound were not in sympathy with such tactics. Dr. Mearns, of Han- over, referred to a letter which he had received from Weber on Sunday. Decline to Meet the Germans. LONDON, Feb. 3. - The Belgian and American trades union delegates have refused to attend the Inter- national Trades Union and Socialist Congresses at Berne. It is very prob- able the Canadian delegates will fol- low the lead of Gompers. P. M. Draper will certaintly not go, and Gustave Francq, of Montreal, who is of Belgian birth, is undecided. His credentials call for attendance at Berne, but were issued without cor- rect information of the situation in Europe. The Canadian delegates must choose between North Ameri- can trades unionism and Continental European Socialism. Peace During Month of April. LONDON, Feb. 3. -Some of Lloyd's brokers who, up to a week ago, considered the signing of a pre- liminary peace before June as a "long shot," have within the last few days reversed their opinion, and now consider it almost an "even money" risk that April will see the prelimin- ary conclusion. .Everything indicates an earlier conclusion than seemed certain ten days ago.
