Following is a brief synopsis of the.
A.dventures of "Peg 0' the Ring" a new
serial picture which commences in
'the Princess Theatre a week from Fri-
g• day and •will fun for 5 straight weeks.

tacked by iter own wild animals during

a circus performance and is firightfully
.Injured. For weeks the Hes in the 'hos-

Flip, the circus clown, watching over
her with tenderness ,and devotion. Flip
'dearly loves La Belle, bat she has told
I, • hitn that they -can never be more than
good "pals"—because she had been
married. While La Belle is Slowly re-
covering from her injuries, site brings
into the world a little daughter. She
. calls Flip to her bedside and entrusts to
' him the care of her baby, Peg. Then
• La Belle writes a letter that proves the
.baby's parentage, relates the story of
'her marriage.to the deli Dr, Lund, who
:has now deserted her in her greatest
'laver of need. 'Having given the letter
'to Fiip, the circus %man resigns her-
self to fate, and soon CUM Flip rears
Peg as a eircus rider, and the years

memory all recollections of Le Belle;

though intensely ay:irk:ions woman,
who presents him with a son, That the

Lund's second marriage is never aimbt..
ed, although later on the ,question of
his parentage works a marvelous effect
upon the life of the circus girl, 'rhe
Adventures of Peg 0' the Ring from
tbis point in the story comprise the
most thrilling sensations, startling epi-
sodes, and hair-raising surprises ever
embodied in moving pictures. But the
interest that the public will have in the
circus and circus life will comprise, the
feature of the series. Everybody who
travels with a circus are glad they are
there—and practically everybody who
doesnot travel with the circus would
like to know more of its lure and fas-
cination. Every scene in replete with
wondrous sensation, depicted true to
life, soul brimful of the circus spirit—
the care free, happy and roving life of
the kings and queens of the arena.
Every event from the time a circus
lands in town until it leaves, late at
night, for its next stand is photograph-
ed exact authenticity. Every one who
has witnessed a circus performatme will
be eager to see again the pictured in-,
cidents that have tilled with interest
every hour of the day that tate circus
came to 'town. Every scene is auth-
entic in its exact description of inci-
dents.with a great travelling show. The
life and dash of the sawdust arena vib-
rates in every episode, ,arcus life is
depicted in realistic scenes—there is
excliment, thrills. and nerve -tingling
sensations in every reel. "Peg 0' the
Ring" is the first and greatest pictor-
ial history of life with a great city of
tents; its cosmopolitan crowds of ex-
tremists in eyery line of remarkable
endeavor; its daily life of strenuous ex-
citement, thrilling deeds and matchless
appeal to the emotions of millions.
WHISKEY IN COLD STORAGE.
For the information of persons in-
terested we are asked to announce on
the authority of the Huron County
Temperance Association that the 52
barrels of liquor seized over a year 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 to 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. •
It is true that whiskey impro-Ves

Fighting Against Ourselves
--for You
For many years the...publishers of weekly
newspapers have fought against raising the
price of their paper from $1.00 to $1.50—
just because they feared to take a step that
might "get them in wrong" with their subscri-
bers. 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 pricee, the prices of type, ink -rollers,
and supplies of all sorts have soared so that it
costs us a good many dollars snore 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 light against ourselves—must come
to an end. . And just because we have given
you the best end of it all these past years, when
,frr the cost 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.
Three cents a week! An extra cent]
is there a man or woman in this com-
munity who will say that he or she
cannot afford it. Three. cents—the
price of an egg in winter, the postage
on a letter, the price of a pint of
milk, the price of a glass of butter-
milk or half the price of a cheap

A LETTER FROM 'TED:
Dear Dad. -1 wonder how many
years one can go on writing lettM's
about nothing and still tinct something'
to put 113, News nowadays in only
conspicuous by its absence, and yet
a letter must have something in it or
it doesn't amount to much. "Hope
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 fail 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 "ame," I refrain
from it; '*for that reason mainly:
There's a great agitation on at pre-
sent for more 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 comes 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 1 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. Some
time about Oct. 30th I expect
couple of weeks' leave. Even though
the days are the "saddest of the year."
it will be quite acceptable. I hope to
spend it down in Devon.
At last it has been decided to go
to the Huns with their medicine 1 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 "kingdom 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 he has a Yankee uniform on.
Horrors! It was • the same with the
Canadians in 1914.
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
times higher than they were.
Things are marvellously brighter this
month on the western front, and it is
to be hoped something will cause the
Hun fleet to be put to sea. The mut-
iny may do something.. lt would cer-
tainly till us with exultation to have a
fight to a finish, like the Kilkenny cats.
So conscription is starting in Canada.

JUBILEE OF ST. ANDREW'S
CHURCH KIPPEN.
Monday, November 19111, was a
gala day at St, Andrew's church. The
ladies of the congregatinn 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 many as could find place,s 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 Mr. McCready of Toronto,
a man of sweet nature and fine in-
sight into the real things in country

You should never neglect a cold, how-
ever slight 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 rough it is
advisable to cure it at ono', and not kt
it run on for an indelinite period.
For this purpose there is nothing to
equal Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup,
a remedy that has been universally
used by thousands Inc over twentY-five
years,

life; and to a dramatic pageant, "The
Call of the Country," splendidly ren-
dered by the young ladles of the con-
gregation,
To say that the night was a great
success is to put it very mildly. Fin-
ancially it was 1 greal success, the
proceeds of Sunday and Monday at.
ter all •expenses were peld, being
practically $300. And it was as great
a success or greater in every other
way,
St, Andrew's congregation was for-
mally organized. 1 the spring of 3157,
through the instrumentality of Rev.
David McDougall, and on December
eend, of the same year the present
church building .was opened for ser-
vice. Monday night was the clos-
ing event in the celebration of these
things.
'rhe celebration began with a week
of meetings for prayer and Bible
study in the homes of the people.
Then a week was spin worshipping
in God's House, the congregation be,
ng directed Godward by the Rev, J.
E, Hogg, B.D., of • Willis church, Clin-
ton. All are very greatful to Mr.
Hogg for these week night meetings.
Last Sunday Rev, Professor Law, D,
D., of Knox College, Toronto, preach-
ed most acceptably to congregations
that filled the 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 Kippen community is
a story of struggle—not of men a-
gainst men—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, tit found
a new order of things and It new na-
tion.
The old days were days of sig :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 an existence
there, Or because they could not live
under a government that was intoler-
able, or because in the olcl land, 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 came
to the wilderness and forest, faced
starvation and want and death; and
many of them died, not having ob.
tabled the promise, having only 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, men and women 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 1866, they made their
plans for bbilding the church, and in
the spring of the next year they were
'formally organized by Presbytery in-
to it congregation of the Synod of the
church of Scotland in Canada.
The church stands today as it 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, B. A., Hugh Cameron,
Samuel Acheson, M. MacLennan, D.
W. S. Urquhart, 13, A., and John
Richardson, 13. A. Of these, but two
survive; Mr. MacLennan, now in bus-
iness in Cape Breton, and Mr, Rich-
ardS011; now minister of the church at
Brigden. The present minister is
Rev. W. E, M. Aitken, M.A., Ph, 1),
Many elders have been over the
flock through all these years: Wm
Blair and Geo, Thompson, the first;
then John MeEwen, John Scott, Adam
Whiteford, James Lang, Geo, Plewes,
George McKay, Thomas Meths, Roht.
P, Bell, Samuel Thompson, John BM -
four, T. N, Forsyth, Isaac Jarrott.
James 13, McLean, James Robertson,
and Andrew Bell. The building com-
mittee of the church, men of faith all
of them were: • William Blair, John
Dole*, William Cooper, Robert Bell ,
Alex. McLean, John McMurtie and
Alex, McLaren,
In the days hefore Robert A4cMur-
trie 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 13151r, James Jamieson,
James Moodie and David Weismiller.
What has been accomplished by all
these men and their fellows, and all
this organization no man can say.
Men and women have 115511 held fast
in the why of righteou5ness, ideals of
truth; honesty . and honot have been
intilleated. The pillows of the sick
have been Sfitoothed, the eyes of the
dying closed, the IMMO 0:t those tvilo
mouthed comforted, Joy and peade
have been carried to the Mines of
hardens and Went, The glad song of
PAGE .5
the bridegroom and of the. bride have
never died out of (Ise land, and these
have received the chtircIt's benediction,
Of' those \Oa first learned of the
Christian life la lite congregation and
in the homes of these people, several
hundreds have gone forth, some to the
very encis of the earth, Many of these
were St. Andrew's best, 5101 going
forth to do justly and love wisely and
Jive for Christ their King, they have
witnessed valiantly, bringing credit to
the church of their fathers and the
homes of their childhood,
In these days or our nation's and
Empire's need, six, who are members
of the congregalicial Murray Fisher,
Gordon Gaulcl, Harvey Guild, James
Jarrott, Edgar Lovett and William
McKay; and six who are of families
connected with it: 3, E. Fasken, S.
A. Fasken, Harry Horton, Bruce
Logan, Fred Richardson and Fred
Skelton have gone forth to do battle
fur King and Country. Of these four
—McKay, Logan, Richardson and
Skelton have laid clown . their lives
that righteousness may not perish
from the earth and that the world
and that the earth may lie made safe
from democracy.
With all this going out the con-
gregation has maintained a real per-
maney, fifty at least of those who were
in the Si.. Andrew's community fifty
years ago, being in it still.
Of the future none can speak with
certainity, but the days 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
