EW' - ments There's only one way tui deal with the trouble makers at Kitchen - r, Ont., and'tllat is in a kindly, decisive but most emphatic manner, after fait' warning, The :insurrectionists must be shade to under- stand that while Canada leas no iron heel to grind down•men with opinions, she does possess, and expects every citizen to display a lays. ally and upholding of British traditions, In our opinion a mountain. has been made out of a mole -hill rc .ttding the change of ;tame but now that it is done it is the time to 'acquiesce and rally in a united bond to push the best interests of their municipality. Mob rule is no goodin Canada and brick and stone throwing, window smashing, etc,; are elements of the rowdy, O— It shows a lack of business 'foresight that the present .none too generous passengerr train service on the 'various railroads should be reduced so that engines rnighe be utilized in removing the congested freight traffic. Winter is not ft good tinge to inaugurate such re ductions, particularly if. the roads are in danger of snow blockades, It is to hoped the tie-up will not have a long reign aid that "Business as Usual" may be hung out as indicative of 'a cleaned up condition. A railway expert was not ,required to pronounce on some 01 the locomotives in use and probably the Companies should have installed their successors long before the war begun, The -public have inalienable rights. 0 Listowel must be a sleepy town surely as it is said a buxuin far mels wife vput it a] � 1 over one ov of e of the merchants by loading him up with two baskets of tallow in lieu of butter. Perhaps the woman did not call the contents tallow, her butter making ability may have only been along a :one talent method. The complexion of good butter is not the only guide as sometimes the highlycolored yellow variety has strength enough to get out of the basket without help. $12.00 was paid for the 30 pounds of fancy prints, nicely wrapped in dairy papers, but as tallow is only 9 cents for 16 ounces the callow youth who hand- led the goods has 9.3o coming to him en the transaction. We are glad the v'ib'es o'r our farmers are not up to such tricks, They can produce the gilt edged article that will stand the closest inspection of the most eagle-eyed merchant. We can't help thinking of that mean(t iv man who bamboozled that innocent chap at Listowel.

The bride looked charming in a gown of white sills crepe de chenc with pearl trimmings and wore a white tulle veil caught With orange blossoms. During the signing of the register Miss Nina Middleton, sister of the groom, sang "Because." After the ceremony , t)co guests sat down to a sumptuous repast. The 'bride's travelling suit was of brown broadcloth, with seal coat and mink furs. She wore a black velvet picture hat.

Amid congratulations and good wishes the happy couple departed to take the train for Stratford, Toronto and other points.

E. .. e r •.v, . ; a of 'West Wawano h, , Canada ss to Have Her Own wastminister Abbey liana Prepared for Storing of Banners and Colors in New Parliament Buildings and Paintings to Mnke Heroic Deeds Live, DUKE OF dONJYAUGHT ' APPROVED THE IDEA Ottawa, Jan. 5. --Canada is to have a Westminister Abbey of her oe'u. Under the interior plans for the rer construction of the Parliament Build- ings arrangements arc being, made by Arehiteet Pearson for commemorating the exploits 'of Canada, and the Allies in the present war and for, the hous- ing of the banners and colors 'of the various regiments of the Dominion who have so gallantly participated in the great struggle The new Senate cham- ber will have no galleries an the sides. Acconiniodatioin for the public will be arranged at both ends. The walls are to'be utilized for the portrayal of paint- ings typical of tate cause for which the various allies are at present Lighting. If present plans are caried out painters from the different countries engaged with Great Britain in the present war will be invited to 'come to Canada to do this work: The paintings will be in accord with the general color scheme of tete chamber and may, of course, take years to complete. It is understood that his Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, prior to his de- parture for England, declaired himself as enthusiastically in favor of this ar- tistic and patriotic plan, and promised his assistance. Arrangements in' the plans are being made for a "Hall of Faire" running the depth of the build- ing. Along this wide and spacious cor- ridor niches for the accommodation of statues which may from tine to time be erected will be provided. An entirely new arrangement is in contemplation for the library, A huge "stack room" will be built into the cliff overlooking the Ottawa River, 'and in this all the books will be kept. When a member desires a book it will be sent on an elevated system from the stack room to the library proper. At the present con- templated, the woodwork and book shelves of the library will be taken out. In their place will be provided accommodation, for the banners and flags of the regiments that have been engaged in tete great war. These will hang in the base of the douse, The Children's Aid At the inception of tete campaign for the abolition of liquor in our Province the slogan was, "Save the Boy." This campaign having been successful there is still another urgent duty which we should have ever before us which is, "Save the Children." This should provide a sufficient outlet for the ener- gies of those who desire to aid in the suppression of crime, which desire should be felt by alt Canadians. Witit this accomplished there will be no national menace. Our prisons and' reformatories are now sheltering many unfortunate per- sons who were deprived of the early training every Canadian is justly entitl- ed to. Hundreds of thousands of dol- lars are being spent on buildings, epuip ping, enlarging and maintaining our gaols and prisons, for the care of fully developed criminals. How much, or how little, is being provided that will directly tend to keep these institutions empty, thereby saving the vast expen- diture now incurred. If is surprising the amount it costs to apprehend, Punish and maintain criminals, and how little to prevent criminals coming into existence. Criminals do not fall ready-made from the sky, nor do they spring from the earth; as the rest of humanity, they are born, They have infancy, child- hood, youth, and manhood. it is from the neglected and ,dependent child ren that the ranks of professional crim- inals are recruited. These little ones raised 111 homes of Vicious, immoral or criminal environment, parental or otherwise, had not the opportunities in these hovels, which were called homes, to learn to be respectable citizens. The question now confronts us, what is to be done? and to my mind tete answer is this: We have in our Province the Child- Page Five flantlies During the next two weeks it is our aim to turn every Ladies or Child's Mantle now in stock into "Cash," In order to do this we have simply ignored the re- gular prices of these goods and are marking them at prices that must mean a quick clean-up of every garment. As an Extra Special we have ptit in one lot about 15 ladies coats that originally sold at from $10 to $95 and have priced the lot Choice ..... . ,•• 095 Mso some Children's coats at $1.98 up. We are also cleaning up at big price reductions a lot of odd lines and broken sizes of winter goods which we positively will not carry over another year. stinastemanninerzomsnmermaxesmantemessommamsureestesseszransuss Phi.is-t r , Small Profits Phone 25. r Se More Business Agents—New plea )5attern—Seiki-Ready Clothing reu's Aid Society under very able man- agement of Mr. J. J. Kelso, who is Superintendent of this great organiza- tion with branches in every County in our Province, and who has demonstrat- ed by his untiring efforts that lie is tate right man in the -right place, and the constant aim of this organization is to prevent crime rather than correct the criminals, Mr. Kelso is very ably assisted in this great work in Huron County by Mr. G. At Elliott who is the officer in charge of the work of reclaiming and re-establish- ing these children 111 their proper places in the community, receiving great praise iron, all who are in touch with his work. These organizations are the most. important factors in the social life of a coni mu 4ty. It is not alone the work accomplished that will command attention, but the silent influence exert ed by the mere fact of many of the most respected people of the Province, being banded together for the moral up lift, the protection, training and edu- cation of the little ones, and their de- velopment along the right lines of our national life. The system under which these so- cieties are working is not inhuman as was at first thought by many, but is on the contrary both humane and scien- tific, as will be shown by the results of the efforts of the organizations in as- sisting many parents to rise with their children from a careless dissolute and filthy condition to a place in the community where they are re- spected and their little fancily kept in- tact. The homes will regenerate the world and it is therefore necessary that we multiply tete right kind of homes, keep them intact, and in so far as pos- sible see to it that those in them have the proper environment. The real strength of aur soldiers at the front is the strength of the homes for which they are -fighting. This work is :a pleasant one to all whose hearts are in true sympathy with the welfare of the little ones. When you save a man or Women you save a - unit; but when you save a. child you save a whole multiplication table, Should you save a child from growing up to be a murderer you serve a two- fold purpose, He escapes the gallows or imprisonment for life and his victim is not deprived of his life and his fam- ily made to mourn and suffer. A word regarding the manner in which the juvenile delinquents are dealt with in our County would, I believe, be in order, so it can be seen that we have not the proper method of dealing with the misdirected or misguided child who perhaps has committed his first wrong act "petty theft," end who needs protection and guidance rather than punishment and humiliation. In these cases the following procedure is taken An information or complaint is laid against the child for the offence by a constable. The child is summoned to appear for trial, His parents are aoti- lied and they attend court with the child, who is confronted again by the policeman in uniform. A plea is taken and evidence heard as in criminal cases fr. the prese'ice of the accused child Tlie child perhaps convicted and sent encs suspended, and that little child goes forth from the Police Court, eta which are tried the most hardened criminals, with a suspended se',s nce upon him, which very often in the h one he is reminded of, in order to bring this child into subjection. or perhaps the threat t � t is used 'that the policeman will again l e called. This system of dealing with the delinquent child should be abolished in our County as it is in many other counties and most cities. 1 Juvenile Court should he established. ; There should be no taint of a criminal court ill the proceedings. The chiles should be regarded as a ward of the Province, to be cared for and guided by it, quid not as an enemy to be punished by it. Therefore in these juvenile cas- es instead of a charge, a trial and a con- viction, there should be nothing more than a careful inquiry into tete condition and invironntent of the' atilt(' and the conduct of the parents. ',The remedy, if any, could then, by the provisions of the Statutes he easily arrive,; at by, the Juvenile Court Judge. it is therefore very essential that lite -- Juvenile Courts Act be proclaimed in our County, as has been discussed at the meetings of the Huron County Children's Aid Society, to facilitate the carrying on of this great work in our County; and it should be a matter of great concern to every church organize tion and every society in our County that their support be given the Child- ren's Aid Society in tuts great work. We have in our Province homes for the aged, and institutons for the 'feeble- minded and incurables, which are crooded to overflowing, How essential it is that we shonld make every effort to protect and care fur the young life, and it can be done, all that is outlined above is possible if the right man is appointed to administer the law in this County, one whose whole heart is in the work and whose thought would be devoted to tate practical help and en- couragement of the children and the strengthening of those social influences that would snake their pathway easier. A Juvenile Court Judge should be ap pointed for the County,and steps to this end should be taken by all who are concerned about the welfare of the. young, .,etE,^a.;asaEmzsa U R EMEIL p�x�i �r��/�p yr�� �s ifra tai EPA t i1 MEN li a� Is now ready to do your work.
