For the information of persons in- terested we are asked to announce on the authority of the Huron County Tennperance Association that the 12 barrels of liquor seized over a'yea' ago in a house in Seaforth, is still in the Cold Storage plant of Inspector Torr- ance, in Clinton. There have been rumors around that the liquor was returned to Seaforth but this is not correct. The case has been appealed to sev- eral courts but the Judges have held that there was no appeal from the Police Magistrate's decision and the appeals were ia1 each case dismissed With costs. As a last resource the defendant has through the solicitors. asked the Hon. C. J. Doherty, Minister of Jus- tice at Ottawa to deal with the case, but as yet the minister has not given his decision.

Yet all these years the costs of publish- ing have been mounting up, up, up to an alarm- ing point. Now war has brought the matter to a head. It has added "the last straw." Paper prices, ink prices, the prices of type, ink -rollers, and supplies of all sorts have soared so that it costs us a good many dollars more each week to produce THE NEW ERA than it did a gen- eration ago, or 20, or 15, or 10 or even 5 years ago. . Necessity compels us to raise the subscrip- tion of THE NEW ERA to $1.50, this advance to go into effect on Jan. 15th. Our fight for you—the fight against ourselves ---must come to ars end. . And just because we have given you the best egad of it all these past years, when the coat of living and cost of publishing were climbing all the time, we now ask you to reci- procate by paying the higher price 'willingly.. , WE BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE READY TO PAY THE HIGHER RATE.

A LETTER FROM TED. • Dear' • Dad. -1 wonder how many year's one can go on ?vetting letters about notating and still find something to put in. News nowadays is only conspicuous by its absence, and yet a letter must have something in it or it doesn't amount to much. "1 -lope deferred" sort of stuff doesn't make very pleasant reading. Another fall is in • full blast here now, -with more rain and mist, cold nights. and snow. It takes one shiver to write it, Yesterday was a typical bright fall day, lacking only the smell of burning leaves to make it quite the same as at home. There .is little one doesn't compare mentally at least with previous more favorable life, when the sun used to shine. It reminds one, this hacking back, of the talk the Cockney immigrant gives forth about -"over' "once." 1 refrain from ft; ' for that reason plainly! There's a great •agitation on at pre- sent for score. pay for the army and navy. The concessions already made have not met With much approval, It is to be hoped that something can be done, even if it cones in the form of deferred pay, redeemable after the war, The ridiculous low pay and the increased cost of living don't work Well together. To -morrow is Sunday and I suppose we will work. After three years' commission there has been a spasm of Sunday work and night overtime that would be hard to explain to a live shop manager.Somee time about Oct. 30th I expect a couple of weeks' leave. Even though the days are the "saddest of the year," it will be quite acceptable. 1 hope to spend it down in Devon. At last it has been decided to go to the Huns with their medicine I am much relieved to think—that such a sane resolution has been deemed ex- pedient. Loyd George, our great leader, has decided to blow the Huns to "kiligdom come". No doubt he is quite right in his decision. The Yankees are holding forth at one of our large southern ports in great strength, much to the indigation of the sailors and soldiers on leave, who find the girls won't look at anyone un- less lie has a Yankee uniform 011. Horrors! It was the sane with the Canadians in 1 914. It is quite a different country, and yet we "carry on". How some ex- ist i don't know, Prices are so high one doesn't care to buy anything. Tinned goods are from three to four tines higher than they were. Things are marvellously brighter this month on the western front, and it is to he hoped something will cause the Hun fleet to be put to sea. The mut- iny may do something.. It would cer- tainly !ill us with exultation to have a fight to a finish, like the Kilkenny cats, So conscription is starting in Canada 1 ant pleased.. With hove, TED H. M. 5, Inconstant, Oct. 11, 1917. JUBILEE OF ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH KIPPEN• Monday, November 1 9th, was a gala day at St. Andrew's church. The ladies of the congregaticui prepared a fowl supper that was worthy of the best traditions of this church. And when everyone who came (and it was a great gathering) had been satisfied, as nnany as could lied places in the church, retired thither and listened to a program of song and recitation, by Miss Lyttle, of Goderich, and Mrs. McLean of Egmondville; to an ad- dress by Its.

If you do not treat It in time it will, in all possibility, develop into bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, or some other serious throat or lung trouble. On the first sign of a cold or cough it is advisable to cure it at once, and not lot it run on for an indefinite period. For this purpose there is nothing to equal Dr. 'Wood's Norway Pius Byrnp, a remedy that has been univcraall,, Used by thousands for over twettt.y-five. years, You do not experiment when you buy it. Afire. W. 0. l'anuet, Smith's Falls, Ont:,, writes:—"l wus troubled with la - grippe. 1 caught cold, and neglected it, and was sink for several months. 1. took three bottles of Dr, Wood's Norway Phio Syrup, and before 1 finished the lest one I was entirely cured, 1 would not have any other cough medicine in `lite House. 11 also aural mybaby, who was very sick with bronchitis.

Fin- ancially it was a great success, the proceeds of Sunday and Monday al. ter all expenses were paid, being practically 5300, And it wits as great a success or greater in everj' other way, St. Andrew's congregation was for- mally organized' in the spring of 1867, tltrongh the Instrumentality of Rev. David McDougall, and on December 22nd, of the saute year the present church building was opened for ser- vice. Monday night was the clos- ing event in the celebration of these things, The celebration began with a week of meetings for prayer and Bible study in the houses of the people, Then a week was sent worshipping its God's House, the-comgregatlon be - ng directed Godtvard by the Rev. J. E,'flogg, 13.17„ of Willis church, Clin- ton, All are very greatful to Mr. Hogg for these week night meetings. Last Sunday Rev, Professor Law, 0. 0„ of Knox College, Toronto, preach. ed most acceptably to congregations that filled tate Church to its utmost capacity. Those who were fortunate enough to get to the morning service will long remember his great mess- age; "Truth and Trust," In the ev- ening he led the people onward and upward, as he pictured life in all its grandeur and wonderfulness; life that is full and satisfying and eternal life unto God. The story of Kippers community is a story of struggle—not of Wren a- gainst sten—but of men with lit- tle resources, save their own strong arms and true hearts against wild and beautiful nature. Many of them cast out as unworthy by the land of their birth, they carved their little farms from the forest primeval, and linked them up one with another, and with the great outside. In so doing they were privileged, with others, tb found a new order of things and a new na- tion, The old days were days of si s and strain and struggle; today as look back we see them to have been days of romance and wonderful a- chievement. The fathers of the com- munity left the old homes because they could not eke out alt existence there, or because they could not live under tt government that was intoler- able, or because in the old hnd, they were not allowed to worship God, as their consciences bade them, or be- cause the old civilization was irk- some and the new inviting; or because they saw a vision like Abram or Moses, of a greater day. They carne to the wilderness and forest, faced starvation and want and death; and many of then died, not having ob- tained the promise, having tndy seen it afar off. God had provided that they without us, and without those who are still to come, should not be made perfect. It is a great thing, yet a long thing, found a new order of things and a new nation. But the fathers Laid the foundation well, As early as 1866, possibly the year before that, mien and woolen in the Kippen district, who had been mem- bers of the Established church in Scotland, began meeting together for worship, first of all in the barn of Mr. Cooper, In 1806, they made their plans for bililding the church, and in the spring of the next year they were formally organized by Presbytery in- to a congregation of the Synod of the church of Scotland in Canada, The church stands today as 0 was built, a worthy monument of the men of faith and action of fifty ,years ago, The only changes are the result of ordinary repairs, and the addition in 1902, of a Sabbath School -room, that is one of the best in Ontario. Six ministers have served here dur- ing these fifty years, and passed on: J, S. Eakin, 13. A., Hugh Cameron, Samuel Acheson, M, MacLennan, D. W. S. Urquhart, B. A., and John Richardson, 13. A. Of these, but two survive: Mr. MacLennan, now in bus- iness in Cape Breton, and Mr, Rich- ardson, now minister of the church at Brigden. The present minister is Rev. W. E. M, Aitken, M.A., Ph, D. Many elders have been over the flock through alt these years: Win. Blair and Geo, Thompson, the first; then John Meliwen, John Scott, Adan Whiteford, Janles Lang, Geo. Plewes, George McKay, Thomas Mellis, Robt. P. Bell, Samuel 'Thompson, John Bad - four, T. N. Forsyth, Isaac Jarrott, James 13. McLean, James Robertson, and Andrew Bell. The. building com- mittee of the chinch, omen of faith ail of them were: -William Blair, Joint Itoig, William Cooper, Robert Bell , Alex. McLean, John McMurtie and Alex. McLaren. In the days before Robert McMur- t'ie and Robert Thompson presented the organ to the congregation, there were a number of men who led in the service of praise, all are still re- membered: Thomas Hislop, Robert Bell, Andrew Blair, James Jamieson, Janes Moodie and David Welstlniller. What has been accomplished by all these sten and their fellows, and all this organization no 111a11 can say. Men acrd wonhehi have been held fast in the way of righteousness, ideais of truth, honesty and ,honor have been iliculeated, The pillows of the sick have been smoothed, tine eyes -of the dying -closed, the itotales of those Who •ipourned comforted. JOY and Heade hale been carried to the homes of hardness and watt., Tite glad song of the bridegroom and of -tire bride have never died out of the laud, and these have received tate church's benediction, Of those who first learned of time Christian life in the congregation and in the houses of these people, several hundreds have gone forth, some to time very ends of the earth. Many of these were St. Andrew's best, and going forth to do Justly ;out love wisely and live for Christ heir King, they have witnessed valiantly, bringing credit to the church of their fathers and the hones of their childhood. In these days or our nation's and Empire's need, six, who are members of the congregation; Murray Fisher, Gordon Gauld, Harvey Gauld, James Jarrott, Edgar Lovett and Wiiliann McKay; and six who are of families connected with it; J. 8, Fasken, S. A. Fasken, Harry Horton, Bruce Logan, Fred Richardson and Fred Skelton have Crone forth to do battle for King and Country. Of these four —McKay, Logan, Richardson and Skelton have laid down their lives that righteousness may not perish from the earth and that the world and that the earth may be made safe from democracy. With all this going out the con- gregation has maintained a real per- ntaley, fifty at least of those who were in the St. Andrew's community fifty yea's ago, being in it still. Of the future none can speak with certainity, but the etays of hardship and straightness are past. The con- gregation is now clothed with the vigor of young manhood and sees the opportunity and hears the call of the new day, and is , going forth as a PACK 5 to mMpx..a..0 el:41=a1gZotnesredAzardeataptuttaimatMaSeatalivajentionlaMMSfefalE Kee Your eet t by wearing a pair of our "Guaranteed to Give Satisfaction" Rubbers.
