Many liberal papers and liberal poli- ticians ate dishonest'', striving to besmirch the name of the Burden administration by unfair headlines and insinuating inferences re investi- gations into war contracts. Now, let us be fair, History records that during every war unprincipled scoundrels were ever ready to make dishonest profits from selling war materials to the Goyerr.ment of the day. This fair Canada ie no (exception in this war. But title Government is an exception in es much as they have instituted a }searching investigation into all war contracts where there is the slightest suspicion. Some of us are old enough to re- member other days when Leurier and Roes with their docile followers woulti jurno on the lid of the box and defy any power to pry open the lid. Not so with this Government. The other day we bad the sorry spectacle of the Opposition striving to prevent certain evidence, which would incriminate political friends. There is no use of the pot calling the Kettle black. Neither political party at Ottawa is to blame for the rake.oft of certain individuals, which belong to both parties, The man, who sells poor boots tor our soldiers or makes dishonest profite in furnishing wax materials to the government, is a traitor of the deepest dye and should be summarily dealt with. It would seem that in this land there are two t tenderde of morality, Men, who would not steal a copper from an individual, think it clever to steal a ride on a street car or railway or overcharge a municipality or gov- ernment. The dishonest profits referred to tare chargeable to individuals only (and not to either political party) and when the Liberal press strives to leave any other impression it is acting the lie. A few clergy, here and there, are scolding about it, and rightly so, however, these gentlemen are especial custodians of the public honor, hence. it would be better for them to diag- nose the cause of the accursed disease in the body politic and then set to administer the medicine, instead of playing to the grandstand. remember- ing as the poet said: "When the nation is to perish in its sine, 'Tie in the church the leprosy begins." Nelson Hay Suddenly Called By Death. PROMINENT ELEVATOR OWNER AND HAY MERCHANT—ACTIVE IN PERTH COUNTY LIFE, Nelson Hay, a former, Mayor of Lis- towel and known all over wee tern On tario, died to -day at Battle Creek Sanitarium. He died suddenly, al' though bis health had been poor since June, 1913, when be was seized with a stroke on the Letubton Galt Course, Toronto, His wife and young son were with him at the time of his death. Mr. Hay, who was a son of the late W. J. Hay, was born in Listowel fottyfour years agn, and lived there all his life. With his brother Wel. ltngton he carried on a hay buying and grain business under the firm name ''day Bros. They owned a string pf elevators in western Ocl•u'io, and were prominent in the business of the Province. Be bad been a member of Listowel Council for yeers, and was also Mayor fpr some time. He wag a leader in eyeryching teat went for the good of the town, and one of the big men of Porth county. He was a Liberal, and did splendid service for the party. He was also well known in Toronto, where he was a member of the On- tario and National Clubs and the Lambton Golf Club. A wife. two sons and one daughter, and one brother, survive. Tbe remains were token in Listowel for interment. Heroines and Heroes. Mr. Editor Dear Sir— There is an old but true precept, which says there are many Heroes without their, laurels and many con- querers with( it their triumphe, allow um to demonstrate. Thousands of our brave boys from Canada have volun- teered for the front, and their shibbo- leth is Canada and the Motherland. Many have gone, some will coins back crowned with laurels, tend as cot.quer- ers will enjoy their triumphs. Some will not return, but rather sail away beyond the sunset, to those fair isles, where cruel relentless war no longer make widows to mourn and children to weep. These brave boys are heroes, heroes that returned, and heroes that never returned. But h o w about fethr'u. mothers, wives and sweet- hearts? What anxious watching, what dee- parate heartaches, what bitter scald- ing tears, There Is no Father or Mother who would not willingly die for their ohildren but in this etese it ie their brave boys who ea many, cases) will have to die for them; these ;boys in the bloody fray have scarce time to think, but those at home, how they watch and pray fearing each minute of the day the 11 abing message, your boy has fallen bravely fighting for his Country. Thus those at home. Sir. we claim are Heroines and Heroes ju•t as worthy of wearing the lancets of victory as those who in far off lands are fighting the foe, R spectfully, A Sympathizer. - John Jo)rd Reeve of Luclsnow.

WINDHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1915 Economizir.g When Banks begin to shorten sail, Predicting a financial gale, Investment dies and eII arpri se, And tightwads all economize. When work gets scarce, and bard the times, And nickels take the place of dimes, We all look wise, roll up our eyes, And say, --"We must economize." The layman buys a box of smokes, And says,— ''You silly women folks, Most out your tithes, to half their size; Aud let the church economize." The church at home beeps up its fire, With organ grand and costly choir, Bat mission guys, 'neath foreign skits, Are told they mast economize. That church's prayers ascend no higher, Than chirps of sparrows from the spire, Whose orders dies, mid cakes and pies, While Mission Boards economize. Our Government, for Bill and Dan, Of course, must d+r the beat it can, They need supplies and railroad ties; The people must economize. Our Councillors, but why rehearse, A story growing worse and worse? They'd take the prize for swatting flies;; But can't learn to economize. ONLOOKER. Patriotic Notes. The meeting of the Ladies' Potriotic Society was held in the Council Chamber on Monday, March 20th. The report from the Concert Com- mittee of the concert held on St' Patrick's day in the Town Hall show- ed receipts, including the sale of pro- grams, to be one hundred and twenty- five dollars and thirty-one cents after all expenses were paid, which was a very eatii.factory report. A very hearty vote of thanks was passed, to he estended thy -meth the Press, to all those, who assisted in any way, to make the conceit a aucceee. Particu- lar mention being made of Mr. Hewer and the nrehestra, Miss Butler and her class, Mr. Willis and those who assist- ed him, Mr. Dowell end all those whose names were on the program. as well as the ladies who so kindly paint- ed the programs, namely, Mrs. Evans, Miss McCraokon, Mies Mulvey, and Miss Ieard, to the committee Deer) who worked so hard and faithfully to pre- pare such an attractive program and carry it nut so successfully. The report of the committee, having charge of the white material for bandages and dressings, was read by the convenor, Mrs. Pugh, showing three shipments made to the Red Cross Society on March Oth, 10wb, and 23rd, consisting of one thousand four hundred and thirty four bandages, representing seven thousand one hun- dred and forty yards of material at a valuation of ninety dollars and twenty cents and dressings valued at fifteen dollars. The following donations for bandages have been received, Miss White $15, Mre. Redmond $5. Also the following:— Mrs. W. McPherson, 5l:, vds. material Miss C. Weeny 40 " /Jot. A. d. hfflla.

The need cannot be too strongly emphasized and the call is urgent. Nothing can be substituted to use fur wounds. Tho soldier may put up with the hardships of wearing poor boots, socks, shirts, or sults, hut when his limbs are amputated bandages and dressings are absolutely necessary, when he is badly wounded nothing will save his life but clean sterlized bandages and dressings. How are the nurses and doctors to have enough for the thnusands0and thousands of wounds, unless the women ran - rack their cupboards and store rooms and tear up every fragment of white material they can find.

A few days ago a mortally wounded soldier was brought into a London hospital. Ile only spoke once. "My name is Ford --my number is so and eo—Cork--wife and seven children." The War Office had the greatest dif- ficulty in finding his wife. Elie recruit- ing office had been changed, hie papers bad been shuffled, and be could not be identified; But great efforts were spade, and the wife was traced two days before he died. The War Office brought the wife and ber easter from Cork to London, paying all rails and expenses, and providing their meals en route. At Boston Station they were met by an orderly with a War Office motor car, and driven to the hospital, and there they were able to stand by their dead. They were afterwards taken back to Cork with the same attention ae in their journey to London. The two worsen arrived in London with their shawls over their heads, and they were carrying only a paper parcel and a few pieces of broad,— Daily Mail, Manchester, Ragland. School Report. Goderich, March 25th "115 The Publie School Board, Wingham, Ont. Gentlemen:— Tho fallowing is the report of my official visit to your school on March 12tb, 10th, 17th, 1915. Yours Respectfully, John M. Field, The staff is the same as at my prev- ious visit. As I understand that you get from the principal the attendance at your regular meetings, it is not necessary for me to repeat the inform- ation. The organization is quite sat- isfactory, no' room to overcrowded and the number of pupils aesigned to each teacher is as even as possible. To avoid the disturbance that results, when new pupils enter the school at Easter, I advise that they be formed into a second kindergarten class to be held in the afternoon (or morning if desired) and that no promotions be made from the present kindergarten class until the end of the term; other- wise, Miss Bentley's room would be overcrowded and her work disorgan- ized, Promotion's should not be made during the term, unless for very spec- ial reasoner the responsibilies of or- ganization rests with the principal and inspector. The teaching staff as a whole is competent and efficient. I have found them faithful and conscientious in the discharge of their duties. The fact that there have been no difficulties relating to discipline and the absence of any friction among the teachers con- stitutes bigh trihuteto the disciplinary powers of the teachers and efficiency of the principal. The equipment of your school is very minimum requirements; there in no tiueetion as to the need of artic- les mentioned and ;hey should be pro, vided as soon as possible. The public school regulations issued in 1914 provide that:—In Form 1 there should be a suitable table about 4i ft. wide and of suitable length, aroynd which the younger pupils may assem- ble for certain phases of their work! The plirnary teacher strongly endors- es this and I recommend that such a table pe provided at an early date. A slate blackboard should be pro- vided along the the full length\ of the East side of the principal's room; the present one is of plaster and is a bad condition. The school is comfortably heated, the teachers do the best pos. eibte with the ventilation, and the caretaking appears to be in good hands. Howick Boundary Miss E. Neil arrived home last week from a visit with fvimds in the States. Miss Longley who has been spending a few weeks with friends in Toros,te arrived home this week. Mr. McCreary, sr., we are glad to say is able to be around again after being on the sick list for a week. Syrup making has been the order of the day for the past two weeks but the 'new storm will put a atop to it for a time at least.

It is the Canadian Ensign and is 10 ft. 0 in. by 5 ft, 3 ins. This was sorety needed as the old one was worn very short by the breeze. The old flag was, presented to the town by the Orange Lodge in 1910, Bluevale. The Bluevale storekeepers are wear- ing that broad senile theca days het emote the debate last week nn the subject, "Reanlved that Departmental' Stores are a detriment to Canada" was decided to the affirmative. The win- ning debaters were Vernon Miller, Harold Thompson, and Art Shaw, hut the young ladies nn the opposing aide, Mien Helen Black, Miss Lila Gray and Mrs. Howard Stewart were cemmpnd- ed by the judges for their excellent papers. Thie debate was on a subject. in 'which everyone is interested and the arguments were closely followed by the audience. This was the closing meeting of the Literary Society for the present season as it has been found impossible to engage the noted lec- turer with whom it was hoped to bring the season to a close. It was one of the most enjoyable meetings ever held by the Literary Society, however, a special pleasure being the Lemberg by Mies Della Mitchell and Mr. R. A, Currie, of Wingbam. Miss Mitchell gave a fine rendering of patriotic poems by Pauline Johnston and Kipling and was still better in her two humorous numbers which could hardly have been better done. Mr. Currie in hie monologue, "Cohen at the Phone," and the Iittle boy's bear story which he gave as an encore delighted his hearers. These two talented entertainers have made a decided hit with the„Literary Society. Two ether readings were given, "Call All Hands," by Mrs. Jos. Brecken- ridge, and "How Rubenstein Played" by Miss Polly Duff, A violin and piano duet, "Summer Slumber" by Mies Annie Diamond and Mise Lillian McCall was warmly encored as was Miss McCa1Ps beautiful piano solo and Misa Carrie Diamond's song, "Tbe Little Grey Home in the West." The closing meeting was marked by in- teresting reports and speeches by Pre- sident Haney, other members review- ing the pleasant and successful work of the past and offering suggestions for still further progress in the future. Before dispersing, the audience heart- ily joined in singing the farewell chorus of the Society.
