A we ior:hi THIS is the time of the year when our Budget' Man is most helpful., You ought to come in' right away and find out what it can do for you. J In the first place, it will put a New Edison beside your Christmas tree, (how the family will rejoicer} In the second place, it will stretch your Christmas dollar so that you'll hardly feel the purchase. The Budget Plan treats the New Edison askant jessential of life, such as a home, and arranges payments on the sound "time" principle. it com--1 bines modern business practice with thrift. This way of treating a dollar actually makes it go fex'iher. Let us ;explain how the Budget Plattr brings the longed -for New Edison for trhai f an: ' extremely ordinary gift would cost,—and_makes 1921 thrift pay fox the balance.

A. and senior Northern League series this conning winter. Goldie Cochrane, formerly of Kit- chener, is the man -behind -the -gun here, and he contends Exeter will have no mean outfit for the first tingle of the bell.

MOTR.ERSt ALLOWANCES The County Mothers' Allowance Board inlet recently to adjust claims under the act. Some fifteen in t a ll were dealt with, and most of these had to be returned to the makers of them, as they werein most cases im- perfectly filled in , improperly certi- fied as to signature, or certificates asked for not supplied. This .is very unfortunate as it causes a great deal of unnecessary trouble and delay, and could be easily avoided, if the forms were carefully read and its provisions complied with. The following points should be ob- served by those making application: gisorkamomitommosi..... 1. Certificates asked for must be sent in as required. It will not do to say youcan furnish them if wanted or that somebody has seen them. These certificates must be obtained, except original marriage certificates, from the Registrar General, Tomato, for which a charge of 25 cents eaeh is made. Municipal clerk's certifi- cates will not do neither will copies taken from church registers by min- isters. Medical certificates of incap- itation or insanity must also be in- cluded. 2. Get your municipal clerk or some one used to filling legal docu- ments to do the writing and have a J, P., if possible, take your declara- tion. Don't get some relative or in- terested person to do either the fill- ing or the witnessing or taking your declaration. 3. Only a widow or a mother whose husband is permanently in- capacitated or an inmate of an asy- lum for insane and who has at least two children under 14 years of age, and who wishes to make a home for them need apply. 4. Applications must be made in duplicate, one for the local board and one for the general board at Tor- onto. Both must be sent with all the certificates or documents to Rev. E. R. Garrett, secretary, Hen- sail, or Geo. W. Holman, chairman, Goderich. 5. All statements made will be• verified by a government inspector who will visit the home of the ap- plicant to confirm the facts as re- corded in the application by a per- sonal investigation. 6. The members of the local board receive uo pay for services rendered and rely upon those making application to do all in their power to make' their duties as pleasant as possible by furnishing there with all the facts and documents required. IN THE MIDST OF WAR Miss Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of the late Rev. Jasper Wilson, a for- mer pastor of Main St., *rites the following letter from Chengtu, China of stirring experiences she has been having. Part of the letter is repro- duced: It seeme a very qiet Sunday al- though they are threshing rice in the field behind the house, and the Szechwanese and Juinnanese are sup- posed to be fighting around Chengtu. Yesterday and the day before we could hear the big guns, but I think to -day they must be negotiating. If the Juinnanese take the city they'll probably loot and burn, but it may be that the Szechwanese can raise enough money to buy them off. The Juinannese have taken the Arsenal and were firing from there yesterday. A shell fell on our hospital in the tubercular ward, and one patient was killed. Dr. Kelly was in the ward at the time. Dr. Elliott went outside the city and interviewed the Juinnan- ese, who have promised that it won't happen again. The city gates are closed and there is no going in or out. Dr. Kelly managed to get in Yesterday but couldn't get out. The hospitals are filled with wounded. Our cook can't find Hauch to buy, but we won't starve. Mrs. Brecken is well stocked with canned goods. It seems almost shameful to be so happy and peaceful with so much suffering and fear all about us. Practically all the people from the East Gate superb have flocked to the Universty carrying only a "pugai" and apitiful handful of belongings. They have been allowed in the mid- dle school and the dormitories and these places swarm like hives. They wander around the campus like lost souls peering into our compounds. Later— There has been a hot battle in pro- gress most of the day some distance outside the East gate, from which the Szechwanese made a sally. We have had rifles, machine guns and cannon making almost a constant noise. There are still occasional rifle shots, though it is bedtime. A. shell burst on the campus this afternoon but did no damage. They were evi- dently aiming at the South Gate and fell short. It hit over near the .Bap- ist row and made quite a hole. Mr. Brace says -they have only 3 ilnch and 5 in. shells. We don't know what. has been ae0onuplished,, but think the Szechwanese have been trying to re- take the Arsenal. Hope they will soon be through with this business- though usinessthough we are not alarmed, Looking I''orvrercl They had just become engaged "I shalllove," site cooed, "to share all your griefs and troubles.,, "But, darling," he purred, "I have n one." "No" she agreed,"but I mean when we are married." USE "DIAMOND DYES". Dye riglitl Don't risk your material.
