bulk of the prizes at the Stock Fairs will

ONTARIO students have once more won
the awards at cattle judging in connec-

The Canucks have a habit ot very often
asserting their capability to step into
first place, which is a most commendable
trait of character.
PROBABILITIES point out the possibility
of women seeking seats in the next
Provincial Legislature. It would be a
new feature in an election campaign,
The leaders do not appear to be very
anxious to talk much about it. There
are some things would be changed if the
women folk bad a voice in the House.
I1' is said the great Krupp works is to
give over its gun making, now that the
war is over, and turn its attention to

As a joke the Crown Prince is propos-
ed as King of the Sinn Feiners of Ire-
land• The latter may not be easily con-
trolled but we imagine if they were
making a choice for some one to rule
over tbetn they would think twice be-
fore the honors would go Prince Wil-
lie's way. He might better go to some
Paris Millinery store.
133,350 was the outlandish figure paid
at the recent Stock Show at Chicago for
a prize steer. It is said it may go to
France to President Poincare for the
Peace dinner. Many a fellow will have
to be satisfied with a piece of neck, at a
lover price, or maybe may vary it with
a chunk of liver. $2.5o per pound is a
trifle too high unless you have a good
step ladder.
A Victoria Cross is looked upon as a
special honor, much coveted, 40 of
them were awarded to Canadian soldiers
during the late war for deeds of valor.
Now that the war is past how would it be
if every Canadian would continue to be
heroic and stalwart in fighting for every
good cause and thereby win a more im-
perishable recognition than even the
much prized emblem of the British
Empire ?
Betrco County Council passed a resole•
tion asking the repeal of the Moratorium
Act now that the war is past. While it
may have been of value to honest folk
who were not able to finance affairs as of
yore, in other cases it was a refuge for
dead-ueats who were able to stave off
the payment of honest debts. We think,
with Bruce Co„ that the usefulness of
the law bas been served and it should
be cancelled.
AN arithmetical figure manipulator has
eipllorerl 001 thatro,000,000 men were
killed in the war and if they could be
marched, 20 abreast, it would tale 4
months to pass a given point. This is a
terrible marshalling of the direful con.
sequences of war, to say nothing about
24,5oo.noo wounded, many of wborn
will he maimed for life. What a black
record for 4.1 years in the 2oto century
but it should prove a warning for the
years to come, Had it not been for the
splendid service rendered by doctors
and torsos and the excellent sanitary
conditions thst were preserved the cas

his debut in the chamber of the Pro-
vincial Parliament ? Like Topsy of old
he "just grnwed" without being under

thing to Mr Fra-er is !hat he got there,
even in the face of a corrupt gerrymand-

WE have been charging the irtuenza
epidemic to the Spaniards but later au-
thority attributes it to Chinn and affirms
that the 2o0,000 Coolies who were taken
eS
o France to aid the ash.. carried the

germs and were generous enough to
pass it on to friend and Inc. the Germans
securing their "nest egg" when they
captured a batch of Chinese toilers in a
drive. The disease is said to be much
more virulent away from home than
among the Chinamen and the record
proves this by the thousands of deaths
that have followed in the ' fin" trail dur-
ing the past few months. Experts
predict the country is not through with
it yet and urge the greatest care,
Huron Co. Children's Aid Shelter
Wednesday, Dee All, was a proud
day far the Children's Aid and
Humane Society of the County of
Huron, especially for those who have
been associated with the work since it
started close on 25 years ago, and the
opening of the County Shelter that
afternoon is a climax that makes
those who have felt the had'icap of
the lack of such an institution during
the years that are gone utter a fer-
vent "At Last," as did that veteran
in the work, the worthy President of
the Society. James Mitchell, who
though hardly recovered from an in-
disposition which had confined film to
the house Inc souse days, could not,
keep away ft'om the opening of the
Shelter. This event is rather a new
point of beginning in the work than a
climax and the institution proved its
need by receiving as soon as it was
opened, a boy of 2 years and a girl of
14.
The County Council visited the Shel-
ter in a holy at 2 o'clock Warden El-
liott formally handed the institution
over to the management of the Child-
ren's Aid Society, paying a fine eonl-
pliment to the County Secretary, 0.

ed matron, Miss Bentley, who corm's
from Blyth, Mr. Kelso, Superintend-
ent of Neglected Children for Ontario,
and Rev, J. H. Oeterhout ale° macre
brief addresses.
From 2 o'clock to 4 th0 Shelter was
open to the public for inspection and
many took the opportunity of looking
through the various roorne which are
already sufficiently furnished to corn-
meleae operations.
At4 o'clock a gathering was held at
the Shelter, when addresses were giv-
en by Mr. Kelso, Leslie 0. Axford,
County Inspector for Brant County,
and the President.
This was followed by the tenseness of
the annual meeting. The old officers
were re-elected, oi, motion of Rev.
Mr. Ford and Mrs. Carrie, and, on the
suggestion of Rev.' her, Ostet hout, a
new office, that of Honneary Solicitor,
was created, and et. Seager, Crown

tion, 111 etCognition of his valuable as-
