We were fortunate enough to get all our import lines placed in stock before the war tariff was put on and all bought before the recent sharp advance in all kinds of woolen and linen fabrice. You get the benefit as we have not advanced the price in a single instan- ance. Before supplying your wants in this line see our stock and bring a- long the catalog sent to you by the department stores of the cities. It will be a pleasure for us to have you compare prices, and if we can't do as well, if not better, we won't expect your business.

Sinclair Sir;—On behalf of the boys from Winghans now serving in the let Canadian Contingent, let Ontario R.gt., I have been asked to write you a few lime, Ae you can guess we are not allowed to write very mu.sh about our movements. Just now we are out of the trenches for a rest which is very welcome I can assure you. I ans glad to say we are all in the land of the living at preeent and in first class health and spirits. We have been able to stick together 00 far, and hope to continue fighting side by side, and I think it will go very hard with any German that attempts to stand against us. Shells from the big guns have been flying backwards and forewarde to- day over where we are resting and a few aeroplanes, but we are getting so used to them that we hardly notice them. It is very funny how one gets used to things, especially the above articles. Please remember us to the Mayor, Town Council and people of Wing - ham. We often wonder when we shall see our friends again in Wing - ham, if we ever shall, anyway we are going to have a good try to. 1 think I must close now, as I have not got very much news that I am able to tell you, however we shall have lots to talk about when we re- turn, but this will let you know we are all o.k. I remain on behalf of the Winghans boys Yours truly, 0875 R. E. N, Barron, Sergt. P.

Bell, who is seriously ill. By-law No, 731 changing water rates was then read, Councillor Crawford said, Wes much, as the hotels gave public ac- commodation and much water used for that purpose, they should get a special rate. In many cities public lavatories were kept up by the town. but here the citizens were saved this expense. Councillor VanNorman agreed with this as did Reeve Mitchell and Coun. How about that Suit ? THESE fine sunshiny " days make the chap who is still wearing last year's suit feel pretty seedy. • Old Sol says Ws time to tone up- and get the Spring outlook on life, and --- our word on it—nothing is so apt to make a fellow look good and feel good as a new head -to -foot outfit.
