The Farmers' Club of Elimville are trying to inalte their meetings interesting and profitable and. are succeeding admirably, The Women's Missionary Society of Elimville church, are holding a piesocial on Monday, February 2n d. A splendid program will be provid- ed. The address of tate evening will be given by. Rev. R, J. D. Simpson, of Toronto, Mr. Sixapson is a fluent speaker and well worth hearing. The Quarterly Official Board of Elimville Circuit, met on Monday afternoon: and transacted the custom- ary business. A unanimous invita- tion was extended to Rev. H. B. Par- neby to return for the thrird year For personal reasons iMir. Parnaby did net definitely accept the invita- tion but will consider it. On. Wednesday, January lth a goodly number gathered at the home of ,Joshua Johns and had a horse judging contest. Mr. Stothers was present and gave au illuminating address on thelscore card and judg- ing. A. good many differed from the judges on certain points and every man had to give a reason for his opinion. Everyone present enjoyed the afternoon and were benefited by the discussion. On January 21st about fifty far- mers gathered at the home of Mr. John Delbridge for another judging contest. Some disappointment was caused becausethe judges for the day did not turn up but finally they got to work. Mr. J. Allison of the Thames Road and. F. Brock of Zion acting as judges., With joke and laughter the contest went on and many differences of opinion in re- gard to weights and quality were expressed. It must be a great education to a young man in particular to attend a contest of this .kind and it is worth any stock lovers time to take a look through Mr. Delbridge's buildings which are always well cleaned and tidy,and view his herd ,of Herefords with , their Clean white Seams -Wed ethapety bodies. They are of a milking strain and will com- pare favorably with Shorthorns in this respect. MEMOIR At Ulverton; England, on March 9th, 1848, Mrs Robert Woods, nee Mary Jackson) was born. Her fa- ther was a successful farmer and on the farm she- ,tient her early life,, bearing her hare of household erendu n and U.F.W.O. work, she responsibilities, developing a sten- had viseted many homes and had ling character and splendid business found tee necessity for some solution ability, which was manifest through all her life. Forty years ago last December she was married to Mr. Robert Woods and it was indeed a union -of heart and. hand as their devotion to each other through all those years was beautiful to. see. After their marriage . they came to Canada via New York and spent some forty years in the vicinity of ElimviIle, the last half of the time on their farm, lot 11, con. 7, Us- borne. For a number of years Mrs. Woods had not been: very strong and for some months had realized that her time would not be Iong; bat she faced eternity without fear and on Tuesday evening January 20th, 1920 she received the sum- mons and passed to' her reward, leaving behind a husband and six children to mourn their: irrepairable loss. On Friday afternoon, January 23, her remains were followed to their last resting place in Elimville ceme- tery, by a large concourse of sor- rowing friends, who spoke of her largeness of heart. For many years she was a mem- ber ,of the Ladies' Aid and her in- fiueuce was great, her generosity :greater: :, She was a true patriot and when their youngest son Jackson felt the call and asked, her consent to join the 161st Regiment ' that consent was given, .without reserveand. was. given. 'without' reserve and though . dangerously ' wounded at, Passchendaele, she had the joy of having hint-- honie for some tine. The family consists of Mrs. W. Lindsay, of Lancer, :Sask.,; Mrs. J. McLaughlin, of Walton; Mrs. R. Down, of Adelaide Tp., Middlesex County; Mrs. F. Webber, of Path - low, Sask.; and Lewis and Jackson at home. Mr, and Mrs, J. C.

Mrs, Rivers, of neat: 1Vloosejaw, Seek , who spen t a w e ek or so here with their friends, Mr. . William and John Craig and ter, to the • have Mi s Cnai Craig, West. M. and Mrs, Keys of Niagara Falls, have been visiting their rela- tives, Mr, and Mrs. Thomas Camer- on, and Mr, and Mrs. Robert Camer- on. Mr. Keys' 'tome was near Varna and he is a returned soldier. titer, Mrs. J', Blackwell and date g , also from the West, have been spending some weeks with their many relatives and friends in Hen- sall and vicinity, so that quite a .number are .spending the winter montbs in this district. Mrs. R. McMarsh (nee Miss Lizzie Gorby) has also been spending the winter months here with Mr. and Mrs, C. S. Hudson and other friends and has also been visiting iu Kippen and vicinity and will spend some lit- tle time here before returning to the West. The Annual Meeting of the South Huron Agricultural Society was held in the Commercial Hotel here on Fri- day afternoon last, and despite very unfavorable weather, was fairly well attended. , The statement of the treasurer showed that the Society had had a very successful year. It was decidedto again hold a Seed Fair and Spring Show, the date set for the former being Friday, Febru- ary 27th, when a liberal premium list will be offered. The date selected for the Spring Show was the first Tuesday in April. The prize list offered for the Hensall Spring Show has become the most liberal in the County and this year will be no ex- ception. A. COMMUNITY LAUNDRY At the recent Convention of the U. F. W. 0., held in Toronto, Mrs. W. N. Glenn, of Hensall was one of the speakers. Mrs. Glenn, spoke on community helps and her address was reported in the Farmer's Advo- cate as follows: "When the writer of this read, some time ago, about the establish- ment of community laundries and kitchens in some parts of the United States, she thought, "It will be a long time before such things find a place in Canada." What was her surprise, then, at the recent. U. F. W. O. Convention in Toronto, to,. hear the subject not only mazlltieined, but seriously discussed. Mrs.: Glenn,, of Hensall, introduced the topic an able address. During the summer in connection with W. C. T. U., Ref - of the overwork problem quite gen- eral, Such relief, she thought, would come best in the form or community laundries, possibly, kitchens. To emphasize her point she drew a gruesome picture of wash -day, which many a woman will recog- nize: Take an area of 2 efi miles square, made up of 16 farms of 100. acres each. In that area on every Monday morning will be found 16 "washings" ready to be done. In those 16 homes 16 women must get up early, put on old dresses, help. with the cows, do chores, get the children off to school. Sixteen wom- en "grab" the handles of 16 cistern pumps, take out 16 washtubs and_ "go to it." When the clothes are all washed they must put them out, even in winter weather, or get the men to do it,—but it is not fair to ask Teen who already have load en- ough to bear, to help with such work as this. Nor is the work over then: next morning the tired women have to pin themselves down to. the labor- ious task of ironing. All this the speaker considered "a sinful waste of time and energy." "Are we laundry women?" she asked "or food -producers?" In her own neighborhood the question is biting answered in favor of the latter, aitd stops are being taken to • instal • a laundry which will make the 16 wash tubs a thing of the•past Part of the stock has been subscribed'aand' plans are ' being made to procure modern machinery which willmake short work of the 16 washings in that community at least, The plant' will be either in Exeter, in which case hydro -power will be used, or on the banks of a. running stream, itt which case a gasoline engine will pump the water for motor power. River water is preferable to well wa- ter for laundry purposes, as hard linty water is likely to clog the pipes and give trouble. Mrs. Menu was of the opinion districts. During the influenza spit- deltic matey women died from get- ting up too soon to attend to the meals; and evea where this eatas- traphe did not occur niers were ob- liged to stay indoors, doing the best they could under: the cireumstauees and neglecting outdoor work that should havebeen attended to, mu 't kitchen the co In a good m nl y ti fa x- 1 encharge a ne. 1 d i Woking Won b e i tfag pert, wholesale buying would mean a cheaper rate on groceries and help to defray the expense, while there Would be less need for ice -houses In the homes. Tice speaker had visited' atPar hill • o er- canning ceuter k the ca g encp ated by the Women's Institute, and had been delighted with the effieien- cy elf the plaee•,—the exquisite clean- liness, the spotless vats that do 100 Mrs, (Dr.)Wilson. r s at ante. > ghat of that place told her that the ladies there will never go back to home canning. No doubt kitchens, run in somewhat the sante way, will come in . time; already itt "' the City of Guelph the question of establishing one has been` discussed and a xesolu tion to it drafted by the W. C. T. U. The matter of conveying laundry and ..perhaps cookery also, Mrs. Glenn did not think. insuperable in these days when motor -trucks, etc., are so numerous. The work might. be done by the rural mail -carrier, or, if the plants were near a consoli- dated scjhool, the vans' taking the children' 'might be impressed into servt'ce. `flrit ea>f't be arranged any other way," she Caid, "eve will take turns, 4 we do the `beef 'rings:" Ai+ the conclusion of the address welch called forth several comments and would have launched a most animated discussion had not the af- ternoon been so far spent, Mrs. Glen was asked to embody her idea in resolution. Kippen Helen Dinsdale, the little girl who two weeks ago went to Loudon for an operation for appendicitis, is home again, doing well. Mr. Jacob Detweiler, who has been postmatser and general mer- chant here for almost nine years,. carrying on a very successful busi- ness, has sold out to Peter ]3owey, general merchant of Brucefleld, who gets possession the 1st of March. Mr. Detweiler has also a good offer for his. farm. The Patriotic Society after five years of splendid work met last Friday afternoon in the home of the energetic president, Mrs. Thomas Kyle, to close up the business of the society and dispose of the balance of the money and material on hand. It -wee:decided to sellthe yarn on hand and send all the money remaining in en thetreasury to the Armenianfund. asterY Miss Maxwell, of St. Johns, N.B., is visiting her sister, Mrs. (Dr.) Peck.. Mr. and Mrs. Horton from the West, are visiting their many rely tiyes and friends in this vicinity. Mr. Waiter llic$eath, of Saskat ehewan, spent the past week visit- ing his sister, Mrs. H. Reid and other Hensall friends. Mr. and Mrs McKay from the west have been visiting their rela tives .in Hensall, Mrs. •Wm. McDoug- all and Mr. and Mrs,nelson Blatch- ford.

As a rule farm men are not selfish• the great majority of them are. willa! ing to provide •help if the need it presented clearly before them. Many are willing to hire a girl and give her board to help with the work;. surely few would hesitate about putting away two -days labor a week from the home, which must be so mueli less a home if the mother has to 'keep forever slaving aWay over suchheavy labor as laithderitg.. 't Some very strong women might object to the• idea Of seeditig'• the washings out, but they should re-' remember their weaker sisters. We. must have community spirit; with it "we'll sweep the laundries from the' homes as we swept party politics from the halls of legislation: We 1, must get rid of them as we got rid of tallow candles and butter -making. Continuing, Mrs: Glenn spoke' of community kitchens, showing their possibility by referring to the work done in London, during the "Flu' epidemic -when hundreds ,of families were fed front eentrel depets. iar kitchens for emergencies, such Mr. W.
