canal la only a hint of what might be on
the program if Great Britain's fleet

AusI'a1A is doing the quibble act in
the demands made by the United States
for murdering Americans on the steam-
ship Ancona, They should be made

GUELPH Mercury funny man gives his
experience, we suppose as follows :—
"It's anlili wind that blows uobody good.
The same mail that brings you a barber
pole necktie may also bring you a good
sized muffler to smother it."
Ia the Canadian hen could be induced
to attend strictly to business during the
Winter months her praises would be
lauded by the folks generally, The
biddy wlio takes her vacation when the
hen fruit soars to 40 or 5o cents n dozen
should be made earn her grub or lose
her head
CxalsTMAs 1915 will be remembered
by many a Canadian home as an anni-
versary occasion with a good share of
the usual gladness of the season wanting
by the vacant chairs owing to the brave
soldier boys who are standing by the
old flag. The sadness is tinged with the
satisfaction of duty doing iu the time of
need.
WE commend Sir Richard McBride's
long headedness iu pulling out of
trouble in British Columbia and picking
out a cosy berth in the Old Land. His
successor in B. C. is Mr. Bowser. Tbat
name commonly associated in story, was
not always the synonym of marked
brilliancy of effort but this Mr, Bowser
may be different.
PRAtsE is accorded the various orean
izations for their timely gifts and dona-
tions to the Red Cross funds, The
cause is a noble one and should com-
mend itself to the generosity of every-
body able to turn a dollar into the
treasury of this humane and most praise-
worthy effort. Keep up your help and
share in the reward of "Well Done."
THERE should be a big rally among the
stalwart young men of Huron to fill up
the ranks in the Mist Battalion and put
t2oo more good men behind the cause
of the allies. A million more men are
called for by the Empire and their ex.
pectatinns will be realized we have no
doubt as the old British lion does not
retreat when he espouses the rights of
others.
SOME people were quite gone on the
bob -tailed cob driver but that style of
equine will not be in it for a minu'e
with the hand painted variety in Peel
County. Azebra breed could be worked
all right as the color of the stripes could
be made to conform to the occasion. If
Huron Co. M. P's or M. P. P's were up
to their business, as some other fellows
now in the limelight, they might give
people some pointers but we guess our
representatives are too honest to prac-
tice fake dealings.
Qum a little fuss has been kicked up
over the refusal of the Co. Council to
make a grant to Huron's proposed new
x61st' Battalion. Perhaps it is a good
thing that every request is not acceded
to and that Co. Councillors do some
thinking for themselves. There evident-
ly was room for difference of opinion -
when the Council divided about evenly
on the matter. If we had been at the
Board we would have supported the
grant on the principle that a "boost"
should be given to the movement, yet
the contention of those voting against
carries weight. The course followed by
those desiring the grant, in throwing
bricks at the opposers, is not a wise one
in .our estimation, There are better
methods of procedure to score a win,

LETTER FROM BELGIUM
Written by Pte. Andy Sneers
hollowing letter is front Pte, Andy
Speer's, formerly of Gorrie, who is
now doing duty iu the trenches in
Belgium. He writes his sister, Miss
Bella Speate, of Brussels, a
e follows :—
Dnan SISTER—Just a line .in an -
wee to yonr letter, received last
eight. 1 also got years and Mary's
mule and they were very nice. It
just reminded me that it was near
Christmas but you know every day is
the same out here, in fact we hardly
know what day of the week itis,
Well Bella, itis getthlg 00 to Winter
now and it freezes bard every Might
but itis not so wet when 1t is frozen
up. It still keeps raining with some-
times a flurry of something like snow
bot it never stays. I ani writing this
frorn the reserve trenches and our
shells are travelling steadily over our
heads to the German trenches. The
poor devils roust have a terrible time
r I y keeps shellingthein
Inc nut a tilry e
P
day and night. Of course they retal.
Lite by shellingna but get ten tunes
as 1nuc11 as us so we are satisfied. It
is not a very nice position to be in
though when you are ltlstwaiting for
the next shell to hit you. I'm glad to
say that have never got a scratch
yet but I have had some very close
calla. Au inch is as good as a 10115
nut here. I wrote some cards today
and sent one to Bill at his new ad-
dress. Haven't heard from hint since
he was in London. I suppose he is
in a hurry to get over the 'pond" but
be has lots of time and he will find
that there are no beds of yeses in this
part of the world for its a Godsend to
us to get a bit of di y straw to lie on
but we can only hope for the best.
Well, Bella, you ask me what I need.
Of course what we need worst out
here are cigarettes and socks, A good
waren sweater would be handy but it
would maybe cost a lot to send it out.
We can get nothing of that sort here.
The most wanted thing is Peace butt
guess you can't make that but the can
only it takes time and lives.
Well I guess I must close as I am
just ordered nn duty so bye-bye for
the present, Fondest love to all, from
your brother, ANDY. Write soon.

January Weather Forecasts.
The astronomical outlook call's for a
prolonged spell of threatening, unset-
tled weather, from the opening day,
to the middle of the second week in
January. Storm centres, with rise of
temperature, falling barometer and
rain and snow, will culminate in a
crisis, from about Friday the 611i, to
Sunday the 9th. These storms will
originate in Western sections early in
this period, moving Eastward, and in-
creasing into threatening and severe
blizzards of sleet and snow North-
ward and heavy Winter storms of
rain and wind Southward. On and
touching these days, storm centers
will make their transit from West to
East across the continent, with high
barometer, gales from the West and
North, and changes to very cold,
pushing behind the storms and domi-
nating the weather generally for
several days following. Thieeorfour
days of very cold and clear weather
generally will follow, from about the
9th to the 12th. A reactionary storm
period will be central nil and
touching Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, the 12th, 13th and 14th. This
will be at a Vulcan solstice, with the
combined Venus and Mercury dis-
turbances still in full force- Under
these conditions a partial relaxation
of cold will pass Eastward from
Western parts with falling barometer
and storms of renewed rain, sleet and
snow, A. regular storm period is
central on the 18th, extending from
the 16th to the 21st. Monday, Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thursday, the
17th to the 20th, are the central days
upon which storms of this period are
expected:to reach their crisis. Warm-
er weather and falling barometer and
Southerly winds will precede the
actual storms a day or two ; but
cloudiness, with rain first, followed
by snow, will take up their march
from the West, and during o• next to
the days named above will sweep
through central to Eastern sections,
pushed closely from the West and
North by rapidly rising barometer,
high winds and very cold, clearing
weather. A reactionary storm period
is central on Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, the 23rd, 24th and 25111.
After three or four days of fair, cold
weather, following storms of the pre-
ceding period, as we approach this
reactionary period, winds will shift to
Southerly, the temperature will
change to warmer, the barometer will
fall, cloudiness will gather in West -
tern sections, and storms of wind and
rain will start on the Eastward
march. Rain with probable lightn-
ing and thunder will be reported from
many sections, on and abnut the 24th.
By this date, winds in Western sec-
tions will shift to Westerly, the baro-
meter will rise, rains will turn to
snow, progressively from West to
East, and sharp return of cold will
wind up the period, with fair, cold
weather spreading to the Eastern
skies by the 26th to the 28th. Do not
forget the fact that the change to
colder weather, which comes behind
the storms, with rising barometer and
Westerly winds, is, like the storms,
progressive, so that the change to
colder, which is reported first from•
the West, is from one to three days
in spreading to central and Eastern
extremes of our country. Sometimes
the storms expend themselves, in a
great meastire, before they get. out of
Western extremes, and in like man-
ner, cold waves that originate behind
the Storms, sometimes disappear, or
are greatly modified before they reach
central and 'Eastern parts of the con-
tinent. A regular storm period le at
its center on the 80th, extendinggfrom
Friday, the 28th, to 'L'hureday Febru-

wry 8rd. The closing storm period for
January will, therefore, during its
opening days bring cold, Northerly
winds, attended by cloudiness and
snow, as the month goes out, but as
we pass into February, winds will
shift to Southerly, the barometer will
make a decided fall, and storms of a
more tropical character will ensue,
especially in sections toward the
South, Upon the whole, we caleulate
that January will be a severe Winter
month. litany of the storms wilt be
violent and blizzarduus, and the in-
tervals between storms will bring re-
actionary waves of sudden and exces-
sive cold,
Address to Judge Doyle
At the close of the General Sessions
of the Peace last week, the Bar of
Huron presented an address to His
Honor Judge Doyle, who has resigned
his position as Senior Judge of Huron
County.
The address was made by Crown
Attorney Seager and was ae follows
YOUR HONOR,—Ae senior member
of the Bar asseulbled here to -day, I
have been requested to address your
13onor on its behalf, upon the occasion
its we at e given to understand, of your
presiding in this Court for the last
time, at the end of nearly one-third of
a century, lis doing so we wish to ap-
proach your Honor with the expres.
Sion of our most affectionate regard
and respect and to thank your Honor
for your unfailing courtesy to us,
which we have always greatly ap-
preciated.
But, beyond that we realize that
during the clique period in which
your Honor has occupied the Bench
of this County, you have ever sought
to conduct the administration of
Justice with the highest ideals
honestly, independently, fearlessly arra
in line with the best traditions of the
Bench of Canada and of the Empire
of which we are justly proud.
These, I need hardly say, have been
fully maintained by your Honor dur-
ing all these years in which you have
adorned the Bench of the Oounty of
Huron.
Under these circumstances we can-
not but feel, as we do, very deep re-
gret that these ties must be severed
and come to an 5115, as all things
must. But while this is so, it is to us,
0.5 it trust be to your Honor, a very
great satisfaction that you in such
good health aid that there are before
you, as we pray there may be, many
years yet in which you may have the
rest and enjoyments of life which you
have so well earned.
Judge Doyle replied as follows —
One of the greatest pleasures of my
life -time, since I have been on the
Bench, was the harmonious inter-
course which has always existed be-
tween the Bench and the Bar in this
Oonnty. Through my long inter-
course, with the Bar, not only foe out.
County, but also with member's from
other Oounties, I have formed a very
high opinion of the legal profession as
a body. After its long period during
which I have been placed above the
profession, if I may be permitted to
express it that way, from which poli-
tion I have been enabled to look as a
critic on the conduct of the profession
for many years, the opinion I have
formed of the legal .profession is This
that they are the most honorable
body of men that exists in any com-
munity, in any part of the British Ern-
pire. I have often said "I will take a
dozen nlernbers of the legal profession
and I will place them in competition
with any dozen of any other class of
people taken from any rommuuity and
I ani confident that they will compare
more .than i'avm'ably in uprightness
and honor." That has long' been my
opinion and has been frequently ex-
pressed and 3 reiterate it to -day be-
cause I feel itis due to the profession
that the public should form a propel'
opinion of the esteem in which it
should be held. 1'n the ordinary levity.
of every -day life it is usual, I know,
to taken fling at the legal profession
and to insinuate they are not very
scrupulous about taking advantage of
others; but the opinion 3 have express-
ed is my deliberate opinion formed
after many years, and formed in an
independent position, where I could
not be controlled by the profession.
I ani very grateful, of course, and
very thankful to have this teetirnony
to the efficiency of my career on the
Bench. That is the greatest reward
that I can receive, the approbation of
the Bar and of the public in which I
b'tve discharged my duties. I shall
always remember the Bar and the
public of this County with the great-
est pleasure wherever I may happen
to be. I do not propose to sit down
here and wither away now, with the
vigor I have got. I propose to keep
moving. It just so happens that sense
of my family are married out in the
Great West, and I have sooue interests
out there myself, and 1 am glad to
know that I have something that will
keep me moving, because I am in
hopes 1 may be spared for some years
yet, and if I atm, 1 am not going to sit
down and fold my arms.
HAPPY New Year.

JACKSON, MISS., MAN
Tells How To Ohre Chronic Cough
Jackson, Miss.—"I am a carpenter,
and the grippe left me with a chronic
cough, run-down, worn out and weak.
I took all kinds of cough syrups without
help. I read about Vinol and decided to
try it. Before I had taken a bottle I
felt better, and after taking two bottles
my cough is entirely cured, and I have
gamed new vim and energy." —JOHN L.
DENNIS.
Vinol is a delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, guaranteed for coughs, colds and
bronchitis and for all weak, run-down
conditions.
