"Dear Mr. hing,—We have learned with minded feelings of Pride and sorrow of your decision to lap aside for a time the schoolmaster's work in order to take up the more urgent task of chastizing the Hun with the Howitzer. As a teacher you won the, respect, the confidence and the admiration• of the entire class, and •as a soldier of the Empire, we know you will be a credit to Canada. We ask you to accept this wrist ' watch as a reminder of the fact that the boys and girls you leave behind are watching you and looking for- ward with fond hopes to the ,day when Canada's sons having risked .death and danger in the great fight for liberty shall return in triuntph and receive the homage of a grate- ful nation. We trust the time is not far distant when the shouting and the tumult die ; when reeking tribe and iron shard shall fade into his- tory, when the God of Battles hav- ing granted us the victory, the sweet message of old "on earth peace, to- ward inen good will," shall be sung by the nations of the world. Till then, God bo with you, is the earn- est prayer of your old class in Withrow Ave, 'School Toronto.— Signed on behalf of the class : Mary, Knowles, Gladys Varcoe, Madeline Staples, Margaret Lee, Freda Con - bop, Webster Knowles, Willie Bloss, Emmerson Ward, Robert Allen," Ford King, only son of Mr, George King of this village, who has enlist- ed with the 52nd Battery Royal Can- adian horse artillery for Overseas Service, spent Sunday at his hone in the village before leaving for Kingston where he will go into training. .

Knight of Hensel' who preached two excellent sermons delivering the message in a most: impressive and s 'iritual manner. The evening'theme was, "A Stroll Through hina," winch was -most vividly described, with its millions of people just await- , ening to the fact that their turn had come to he the conquerors of the world. Only the speedy procla- mation of the gospel of Christ and the prompt action of the Church in sending laborers into that great field can, in the opinion of the Speaker, avert the most awful calam- ity. - The concert given by- the Mission Circle on Monday evening was a groat success. A splendid program ills ofchoruses,recitations,dr and speeches by Mr. J. 1. rown, Mon- treal, and F. C: Elford, Ottawa, and a reading by Rev. W. B. Moulton were much appreciated. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening's en- tertainment and the proceeds ainount-' ed to about thirty-five dollars, This will be devoted to the education of an Indian girl at the Kitamaat School, B.C., a task which • the Flolmesville Circle has set itself, The poultry meeting on Saturday evening in the hall was fairly well attended and addresses given by Mr. J. I. Brown and Prof. Elford were practical and instructive. It is hop- ed this will serve to stimulate inter- est in the poultry industry in this vicinity. Mr, J. I. Broom of Montreal and Mr. F. C.

Must Be Good or Get Out "It would be a mockery for the board to keep on their office and sim- ply wink at a case of this kind, be- cause it concerns a man who is so- cially and otherwise 0 good citizen. It looks to me one of the worst cases since the inception of the board. It looks a direct defiance," This was theutterance of Mr, J, D. Flavelle, Chairman of the Ontario License Board, last week when J. N Scan- drett, London, was charged with shipping liquor into Huron county, which is under the Canada temper- ance act. In Business Twenty-eight Years, Mr. James Haverson, on behalf of Mr. Seandrett, stated his client had been in business in the city of Lon- don for twenty-eight years, and up till recently he had never been brought to task. Mr. Scandrett had been iii, for some time, and if he bad been in the store this would never have taken place. He had paid -the penalty imposed by the law, Employee Was Not Informed. Mr. Ayearst pointed out that in December there had been given a promise that there would be no more shipping into Huron. In January one of the employees swore he had never been told about this. Mr. Ayearst asked if that were so why didn't the other man, who had been in Scandrett's employment for sev- enteen years, tell him. Mr. Scandrett said he did not know any reason why he should not, Liquor as "Vinegar." Chairman Flavelle, drawing atten- tion to one case, pointed out there was a shipment of a barrel of liquor as "vinegar." In another instance there was a cash sale amounting to 9152, the liquor being taken away by an auto. Mr. Flavelle, addressing Mr. Scan- drett, said he thought his manager and clerk were decidedly unfitted to be in that store. Mr. Seandrett—T agree they diel things they had no right to do. Wizen I went off ill I told them to be care- ful and I would allow them a com- mission on the sales. That is where I put my foot in it. Vice -Chairman Dingman—I cannot see how ,we can ignore this matter if for nothing else than you are a man of high standing. We expected so much better of you than of some of the others. Chairman is Astounded. Chairman Flavelle—lt is a mystery to me how, after the board's actions and what• they have circulated, there are men crazy enough, in their own interests, to do things of this kind. Mr. Haverson again alluded to Mr. Scandrett's good record previously, but, if the board were disposed to take extreme measures, put in a plea for Mr. Seandrett to get time to get out and 'sell rather thaw sifter 'any 'snore in health.

Must Be Good or Get Out "It would be a mockery for the board to keep on their office and sim- ply wink at a case of this kind, be- cause it concerns a man who is so- cially and otherwise 0 good citizen. It looks to me one of the worst cases since the inception of the board. It looks a direct defiance," This was theutterance of Mr, J, D. Flavelle, Chairman of the Ontario License Board, last week when J. N Scan- drett, London, was charged with shipping liquor into Huron county, which is under the Canada temper- ance act. In Business Twenty-eight Years, Mr. James Haverson, on behalf of Mr. Seandrett, stated his client had been in business in the city of Lon- don for twenty-eight years, and up till recently he had never been brought to task. Mr. Scandrett had been iii, for some time, and if he bad been in the store this would never have taken place. He had paid -the penalty imposed by the law, Employee Was Not Informed. Mr. Ayearst pointed out that in December there had been given a promise that there would be no more shipping into Huron. In January one of the employees swore he had never been told about this. Mr. Ayearst asked if that were so why didn't the other man, who had been in Scandrett's employment for sev- enteen years, tell him. Mr. Scandrett said he did not know any reason why he should not, Liquor as "Vinegar." Chairman Flavelle, drawing atten- tion to one case, pointed out there was a shipment of a barrel of liquor as "vinegar." In another instance there was a cash sale amounting to 9152, the liquor being taken away by an auto. Mr. Flavelle, addressing Mr. Scan- drett, said he thought his manager and clerk were decidedly unfitted to be in that store. Mr. Seandrett—T agree they diel things they had no right to do. Wizen I went off ill I told them to be care- ful and I would allow them a com- mission on the sales. That is where I put my foot in it. Vice -Chairman Dingman—I cannot see how ,we can ignore this matter if for nothing else than you are a man of high standing. We expected so much better of you than of some of the others. Chairman is Astounded. Chairman Flavelle—lt is a mystery to me how, after the board's actions and what• they have circulated, there are men crazy enough, in their own interests, to do things of this kind. Mr. Haverson again alluded to Mr. Scandrett's good record previously, but, if the board were disposed to take extreme measures, put in a plea for Mr. Seandrett to get time to get out and 'sell rather thaw sifter 'any 'snore in health.
