Miss Oakes, who is visiting her with her grandmother, Mrs. Gregory, fa- vored the ladies with two solos, which were very much appreciated. Mrs. Beavers then brought before ,the union the plans of work for the unions i.. - - , are as follows: ! 1. The setting aside of a week of prayer, one day of which is to be de- voted sol+ to nrnvar lar the meters of the Referendum vote. 2. That a deputation wait on the Government asking that an instruc- tor in scientific temperance be ap- pointed in the Normal and teacher training schools of the province. 3. That the unions as a whole, place a ban upon the Hearst publi- cations, and I. B. S. literature. 4. That an appeal be made for funds to enable the union to extend the work of scientific temperance and Travelers' Aid departments. 5. To ask for more rigid censor- ship of moving pictures, billboards and posters. 6. To protest against the issuing of licenses of any kind that would tend to promote the use of alcohol lin any form as a beverage. 7. That the Prov. union prepare a programme based on the annual report, in order to encourage a stare • general use of the reports. I 8. That we work to place more women on the school boards and in i the Municipal" councils. f9. That the Prov. union, interview the Prov. Sunday School Associa- j . tion, asking that more prominence be given to temperance lessons. The next meeting of the W.C.T.U. will be held at the Main St. parson- age, the invitation being given by Mrs. McAllister, the last Monday in November. A lunch was served and a social time spent after the business session. R. E. Beavers, Pres. Supt. ST. MARYS JOURNAL AND ARGUS AMALGAMATE.

Dr. Smith, of Mitchell, attended them and found that Mrs. Douglas had received a bad cut on her head. Both were badly shaken up, but no bones were broken. POTS AND KETTLES There is no change on earth, c- lack! Old customs with us linger; the pot still calls the kettle black, and points a scornful finger. This metaphor of course is wrong, for pots can do no pointing; but let the purist come along, avaunting and a- rointing. But men can point, and point they do, with righteous indig- nation, at all the profiteering crew, of high or humble staion. The gro- cer buys a Sunday suit, and. when he's made the payment, he says the government should shoot the maker of that eaiinent. The tailor to the grocer wends, to buy a few molas- ses, and then his treasured beard he rends: "The price all reason passes!" The butcher stands beside his block and butches with a cleaver Ile bought some capsules froth the doc, to cure the chills and fever. And now he says, "It was a shame, the way that sawbones taxed me; he played a low-down game; he soaked me and he waxed me." The doctor to the butcher goes, to buy a pound of .mutton, and says, on leaving, "Heaven knows this meat man glutton!" My father used to buy a sheep for what this fragment cost hie; this butcher's charges, fierce and steep, confound me and exhaust me!" The pots about the kettles wail; the kettles get excited, and say the pots would be in jail if pub- lic wrongs were righted.
