A somewhat awkward situation has
arisen here in connection with the recent
municipal nominations. There were not
sufficient nominees qualified for the
Council with the clerk and another nom
thatinn will be necessary. It appears
the mayor and old council are somewhat
embittered at certain criticism of their
conduct of inetters pertaining to the
temperance cause, which took place et
the nomination. proceedings, and It is
claimed the meeting developed largely
into a temperanse discussion rather than
of municipal affairs. Citizens are await
ing events with much interest.
The wedding took place at the Metho-
dist parsonage Saturday afternoon, when
Ida, youngest daughter of R.0 Marshall,
Ingersoll, and John W. Button, of
Seaforth. The ceremony Was performed
by Rev. George McKinley, B. A. The
bride, who was unattended, wore a
smart travelling. suit of brown broadcloth
with a shell pink blouse of crepe ole diene
and embroideied lace, and a stylish
rolling sailor hat of brown velvet trimm
ed with metallic flowers, They left on
the afternoon train for Ingersoll.

'Small Garden Aproa.
Here is a delightful idea for a p100'
tidal apron for that young aspiring
gardener of yours who is wearing out
stockings galore in her flowerbeds.
Make her a gardentug apron. Make
it of heavy green or blue denim, just
large enough to cover the front of her
frock and long enough to kneel on.
To hang it over the shoulders and tie
it around. the waist use tapes; then it
'will not be hot. To make it attrac-
tive stitch pieces of brick red denim
on in the shape of flowerpots for pock-
ets, and applique some bright linen
tulips just above the flowerpot pockets

Or will we be given new ofhcers to No.363 the following officers were elected

re
This question is often asked, by persons and by municipal councils, when the matter of liberal
giving to the Fund is brought before thein.
They are entitled to the most complete answer, for the Fund is the people's. They created it,
and it is they who must maintain it.
Now for the reasons. There are 149,230 of them.
The Fund asks for so much money because Canada has given her men so lavishly to the Great
Cause. Between 300,000 and 400,000 have volunteered. If their families need help, this Fund
provides it, In October 53,693 families did need it, These families comprised 149,230 persons, nearly ).t
all either mothers, wives or children. Is it any wonder that so Great a Need requires so Great a Fund? 11
HOW Gis' EAT IS THE NEED OF MONEY?
The sum expended in October, 1916, was $8.01,814.00
The average payment to each family was. 16.20
The average payme.at to, ecch person v. -as 5473
The cost of administration was 15,46,1.00
(In above averages, stuns peel for broken periods not included.)
Pay special attention to the figures concerning cost of administration -including expense of
campaigns for raising money. It is the ambition of the managers of the Fund to keep the cost of
raising and disbursing it below that of any voluntary fund ever created in Canada. Their aim is to
hand to the soldiers' families as nearly as possible one hundred cents for every dollar subscribed. They
succeed in handing 991 cents. The sum received in October as interest on moneys in banks was about
$11,500. Take this from the cost of administration. The remainder is $4,000. And that, therefore,
is all that had to be deducted from sums paid in.
That is to say, 0 every $1.00 paid by generous givers, $99.46 reached the families.
Is not that economy which should give confidence to every subscriber?
Does the magnitude of the Fund, as well as its importance, begin to impress you, Mr. Citizen -who.
is -being -asked -to -subscribe -$100, or you, Gentlemen of the,,Municipal Council, who are being urged I
to vote $100,000 for 1917? Does the REQUEST look as large as it did now that you know something
more of the NEED?
Since the war began the people of Canada have subscribed
to this Fund.... . 18,4.95,000
For 1917 they will be asked to give -and will give.... .... 12,500,000
Of this sum Ontario is being asked to guarantee -and will
