Buy is your borne town and the money spent will come back with in- terest but buy outside and it is likely gone forever.

School teaching, with its largely increased sa.ar:e' and long vaca- tions, as compared with "the gond old days", do_ not app .-Jr to :tupeal to the youth of todsv very etrong y. Difficulty o r, 1 , t " c , of aecurtn b a i n n u e and tb e 'Tusk)" being ma,'.e by Business Col- leges, plus tile small s zed families, are perhaps three of the reasons for the shortage, Looks as if tete day of the Cousolidated School is being ushered in by the existing conditions. A Community Laundry Is one of the live questions in connection with the Women's Institutes Prop,sition is to cover a rural territory of perhaps ee miles and have the to family washings all done at a Central laundry, run by hydro or gasoline power machines. This would not only cut out "wash day" at the individual home but would help solve the problem of hired help, The practicability of the pian has been evi- denced by the Community Kitchen in some places. Careful estimates will show that the idea is not so far-fetcbed as some might think and will fill a real need to the women folk of many a com- munity, Now clear the track for the U. F. O. Provincial government in Ontario. Give them your ensile and good word and it will help them to weed out some ot the useless expenrlitnre, lop off dozens of ueedless hangers on and initiate erec- t Mal legislation for the people that will 00t require a lawyer or the C ourts to cipher out what it means. If THE POST were giviug the Drury Government ad. vice it would be "Soy little but saw wood and the job will be yours far a good long term." Canada Was surpris- ed at their electiou, now let the surprise be continued by proving that they are big enough tor the job There will be little blunders made and perhaps not covered up astutely es the old poli'ici• ons did it but let the motto be ''My Country First", then crooked paths will not he a necessity. Therm the long suffering and badly battered Armenian Nation is positively assured that the day of their complete emancipation is assured froth the black hearted, inhuman tyranny of the Turk the great human f+mily will never rest satisfied. It is all right for Christian people to be asked to aid the needy when the situation Is caused by fire, Carbine or pestilence but to permit any power to transgress the laws of God and man by the develish conduct of the Turk and then ask the civilized world to lend a helping hand to the helpless vie - time is the most foolish situation imagin able. The powers have trilled with Tur- key for so many years and winked at their atrocltie; that a peeing threat - "Be good or there's trouble ahead," mast surely be taken as a joke Ven• geauce is not supposed to be a com- mendable trait of human character but if ever a people deserved a crushing judgment brought down upon them it is the Turk. The Omnipotent One will not hold Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy incl japan guilt- less, we believe, if prompt and emphatic trentrnent is not administered.

C, T, 11, Provincial Convention Fine Meeting of White Ribboners. The Forty -Second Annual Conven- tion of the Ontario W. C. T. U. met. in the city of Guelph, 17t1 to 31st, 1910. The Convention throbbed with the realiz'ttinn of having achieved on October 20th its greatest victory through the Hest t %cerise of the re- cently at (jolted equal suffrage. The keynote MIS not only reconstruction, 1 tit tt 1econst( intim' which would en- velop the God -sense in all Inoue and national issues which the women, iu their discharge of duty as ltnmemak- era anti nitizefts, tvnttld have to do. Thanksgiving was not only the that item on the ptngram, but it was tip. permnst in the hearts of the delegates as Mrs. Blanche I1 Johnstnn, evange- listic superintendent, emphasized, in the onetime exercises, the power of prayer which was the secret of suc- cess both in the war and in the Refer- endum "The Lott] of Hosts is with tie" was the geoniel vm k of rejoicing, turd the song of Miriaru ; "Sing ye to the Lead, for he had triumphed glor- iousty," once mote did service to voice the gladness of deliverance. ct. The roll call of odlcets Hud soperit• tendons was responded to by nine of the eleven officers anti Hfteen of the twenty-three sit pet inte'dents, In recognition mf the fort that the 1.V. C. T. t'. is Christian first and a Women's Temperance Society second there is an unwritten law that the Evangelistic Department take prece- dence as the foundation on which the whole superelructure rests. The re- port was presented by Mrs. B. R. Johnston, superintendent of this work who stated that it had been prepared by het' co-worker, Mrs. Morrison, Morrishnrg. Its tender message ran in part : "Our hearts go out in deep- est sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones during the dreadful ep- idemic that scourged our land, and also, to those whit saw other soldier boys returning from the war while their own dear ones lie Sleeping in France. In all reports the evangelist- ic or prayer side of the meetings is uppermost in the minds of our women, the feeling being that we must daily and hourly bring] our cause to the Throne of Grace.' Later in Convention the "Plan of work" declot r;1 that a revival of tell - gine was needed most of all and as a "Plan of work" all rnertibera of local unions are urgently requested not only to co-operate in the great inter- church Forward Movement, but to do all they can, wherever it is needed, to get pastors into line in this campaign. In the discussion on this report Mrs. McKee stated that the Forward Move- ment in all churches advocated cot- tage prayer meetings. This is one "Plan of work" that all unions could easily carry out and the spiritual re- sults would he beyond all human cone tinting, For nearly a quarter of a century Mrs, Jennie Waters, of Hamilton, has conducted an active anti-oatcolic) campaign, not only alone educational lines, but, in addition, conducted an aggressive campaign looking towards the prohibition of the manufacture, impartation and sale of cigarettes. It appeared from the awing of public sentiment against an evil that was battering on mere children as if vic- trn'y Mae to crown her efforts, when the war came crushing these bright hopes with many others, The Tobac- co Trust under the guise of patriotism have indeed profiteered, and not only has it lined its pockets with gold, hut, both in the United States and Canada, it has started it tying props. ganda to the effect that the W, C. T. U. has tons of literature and thous- ands of dollars with which to start a campaign for legislation to prohibit the use of all tobacco. While the W, 0, T. U. fatly realizee the evils inci- dent upon the use of any ner'eotia it had not even thought of arch a cam- paign, The Liberty League, seeking to make antagonism against an or- ganization which influenced many votes in the recent temperance struggle, winked ite eye and put ite tongue in its cheek and resolved to snake a pitfall for the W, O. T. U. through its Anti -Narcotic department of work. Resolved, that we re -double our ef- forts, if poseible, in our anti -narcotic Depat 1 "lent, through our L. T.

T. It, Jones, Toronto, supefirL- tende0t of "Ptison Reform and Pn- lic°," .A 1'0011 of applause greeted the opening sentence which ran "Owing to the beneficial l•eaLllta of the Ontario Temperance Act, a very gl eat number of unions have had no work to do. In a great ninny tonalities there have been no prisoners in the lents." It looks as if Mrs, Jones will have to be given other work, The brand of liberty advocated by the so-called Personal Liberty League cleans chains and imprisonment to malty. In discussion one member of Conven- tion told of having worked for thirty years for the redemption of one wo- man in one of our cites tvlt0 had been arrested 100 times, but wlto is now a reformed woman. Miss Minnie Jean Nesbit, a Henri) ton netvepaper woman, stated that. there wile now no chaphlin in the Sarnia jail as there were so few MN - (mete tate Council had cancelled its $50 grant for this purpose. The most spirited discussion nt the whole session was the one on "Srieu• title Telnper'ance,' and it was one that the timekeeper's bell could not halt, Later a resolution was adopted to the effect that because of its irnpwt- ance Scientific Temperance be given right of way on the school curriculum, and that the luau tuition be graded Re- cording to the age and the intellectual capacity of the pupils, and that we ask the Educational authorities of one Province to place Metallic Tem- perance nn the same basin as other subjects at the exaluinationa, and that teachers he encouraged and as. sisted with leaflets, chatts and other helps to "lake the teaching of the au- thnrized text books clear and effective. Tidings gives in poet the striking Report submitted by Mrs, Asa UM - Ono, supetinteuderlt of "Militia and anldiers' Comforts" work. "The Lord hath done greet 1hiegsfor ns, whereof we are glad." "The Lord is able to give mut!: more than this." „The war is won. The wall' late is million British dead. If they were to arise and March in line, four abreast, in ranks but 5 feet apart, the column of, the young and sarong who have gone would be two hundred and fifty Miles long, Such is part of the price of our victory -victory, thatk God, for liberty and justice. Honor be to the brave dead, and equally to the brave )nen who, though not dead, are broken." The Ontario W. 0. T. U. were for- tunate to secure the services of Miss Kathleen Morten, evangelist, during the Referendum campaign. Miss Morton has beet) instrumental it or- ganizing and reorganizing marry unions, Many ore the floor of Con- vention highly commended Miss Mor- ton's work. Before leaving the plat- form after giving her Report ane was peeaentetl with a live starred Honor Pin in recognition of the twiny new members who had joined the W. O. T. U. as a result of her appeals. Wednesday afternoon was given up to "School of Methods" conducted by Mrs, Pugsley. Vice President. If our W. 0, T. U, reader's not present carefully follow , the afternoon's proceedings they will learn that Mrs. Pugsley endeavors to teach, namely, bow to make our local meetings both profitable and interesting, in a varied program in which business, education-, al exercises and entertainment have a place. Mrs. IVard, President of Toronto District, gave a report of the Travel- lers' Aid walk to connection with Willard hall, an institution of which Toronto District is justly proud. The Surprise Soap Company allow one- half cent for every Surprise Soap wrapper coupon sent in and this fund goes towards the support of the six Travellet•e' aide who are now art guard at the different atationa in 'Toronto. In shot'(•, the funds from )hie source have not been sufficient. The 1V. 0, T. U. women in Ontario must use more Surprise Soap. The unions must not imagine that this is a Toron- to enterprise. Mrs. Ward assured the delegation that of all the scores of girls helped only, one belonged to Toronto. All the others were front the Province of From the Dominion. To re -iterate, if we want Toronto 10 act as our agent we roust send in more soap moppets, It was suggest. ed that the unions interest other wo- man organizations in this matter, Dr, Sara Detwiler, Kitthetier, Dominion Superintendent of "Travel- lers Aid," in her address gave start- ling figures that ahntfld awaken our worker's to a sense of their tespouai• bility hi regards to Lhe girls of our Dominion. Many girls dlsappeat' for - 8500 frnrn the, tt•aitta running be- tween New York and Chicago, Through advertiaing all kinds of snares are set to each girl victims, The men and women who live on this trafilrg keep their eyes on the little town& around big cities, patl]culer- y on the girls who go from home to get Work, There should be Travellers' Aids in °very city, great or small, Cards giving warning to girls ax° HOW being put up in every station and ere is need of representatives of this ork in every place where there le a ailWay station.
