BRING IN S-UPPLIIES. • As the ladies would like to pack and ship the hospital supplies' at :once the president of the Patriotic Society, Mrs. S. J.

THE BEST ARE GOING. It came out at the annual meetings of the different conferences That a large number of the students frees the several Methodist Colleges have en- listed for service at the front, Sone have already fallen, a amber are an tire battle line and still more are in training for overseas service. The Anglican Church willrefuse, until after the war, to ordain teen fat ministerial work who are physically fit to bear arms, a fact which snows plainly the attitude of 'that Church toward the present struggle. In the trenches' in Europe are many of the very best Specimens of young Canadian manhood fighting for a world's freedom, the freedom to live decently, as God-fearing people, and' many more are in' training to take their places when the time come. NO REST YET. Word comes from the headquarters of the Red Cross Society, Toronto, to the effect that supplies of all kinds except caps, mitts, helmets, knitted cholera belts, and night sh'rts No. 131, mentioned in "Suggestions for Work," are needed right along. All sorts of hospital supplies, pyjamas, surgical shirts and socks, which are needed "literally by the thousands." It, is said that every leiter asking for supplies putt socks as the first need. Thele is also an urgent appeal for personal property bags, to he us- ed to contain the personal property of the soldiers when first brought into hospital. Supplies will i be needed as long as the war lasts so that those who have been working so hard during the win- ter months are asked to continue. The men are carrying on the campaign. and will do so without taking stun - mer holidays, so those who abide, at home should not grow weary in do- ing the work which devolves upon them. As a recent writer put it, "It is a time when everyone itihuld either go to war or fetch and carry for those who do." It is too soon to rest upon past achievements. TI -Ili)' TOWN COUNCIL. The owner of the big skating rine; applied to the town council Monday evening for a reduction in his assess- ment to, say, $2000 instead of $5000 asrecorded by the assessor. 'the members discussed the matter at much length and finally agreed to lop $75 orf last year'n tax bill, The Filly Band applied for the us- ual grant f 0$200andit. got Meshes Wilts 1, and Ford were appointed a committee to set the nights of the open -airs. Last season it was Wed- nesday, this pear it will be Tuesday evening. The band stand will remain for the present on the town hall square and though its position will neves• sexily be changed somewhat while the s:luare is being remodelled it is not at all likely ely to be removed to a les; central part of the town. It will' be necessary shortly to raise considerable money for munici- pal uses and an effort will be made Ito do so by short term debenture, says three or five. years, and to nell to local peopleif possible. f Clinton debentures will be a good buy. Councillor Sheppard drew attention to the awfully dirty appearance of. the 'town hall windows and suggested I: very plainly that they be washed. li also a so mentioned the fact that a Icoal carter spent a very impatient half hour on Monday afternoon wait- ing for: the weigh clerk to turn up, weigh his load and let him get away. Councillor Miller said that he is strongly in favor of the Split Log Drag, so much so that he with the mayor was instrumental in putting it at work, but the reeve had called it off, ide can't understand 'why when this. Split -Log is such a success everywhere it is given 'Fair plait and that is all over the U. S, anti this country, that there Should be such persistent opposition here Councillor Wallis : I have seen the Split -Log Drag in operation at sever- al pohnte in this province, also in the. , West and more, recently down in New Brunswick and at every point it has been a prronouliceil success. Corning .closer home, out in Goderich town.- ship it has been used with good _ef- fect. Of course if we don't want to economize on our streets don't use' the Drag, but if, we want srndoti streets at the minimum cost use the Split -Log -putting it to work at the proper time. Councillor Sheppard : Anyone who has seen the Drag in operation, when the ground is ready for, it, knows that s lendad results art -obtained. aupe d. Lt fills the ruts and Boles and makes, the surface smooth and pleasant: to drive upon. It is sometimes a matter of `surprise to me that the' chairman of the street aomttuttee will not port the use of • illus simple, inexpen-' dive contrivance when he can easily see the results that can be obtained. WEIGI-I SCALES. MOVED. The o tote weigh seal es Cs Lave been forced o totheback ground ouhdas it e g were, having been set back to allow room for the new 'addition to the Public library.

To the Editor of The News -Record : Dear Sir, -In the issue of the New Era on the 20th of May last a . re- ference appeared relating to the will of my father, the late James Necubit, in whysh it was stated that 1 tried to upset the will, and that it wan a just will, etc. Both statements are i try toup- set First, I did not - ul set the will, All I asked was to have it proved in solemn form. I had a pcnfect right to take this course, and only exact:sett the right given me by the Surrogate Court Act, Second, Judge Holt dill not throw this case out. All he did was to hold on the evidcatee of the witnesses of the wilt that it was properly signed, and that the, will was not attacked by Mrs. McKenzie' or any one else, and all that was before him er he had to dead with was as to the pro- per execution of thewill, which was in fact, the only question he did deal with. It is quite clear that the person who reported tine matter as it ap- pears in The New Era was either facts, of the exact or dict so maliciously with the intent of placing tate in a false light. In either, case, if the person has ,any idea of decency or fair play, the false state- ments should be withdrawn, and an apology not only to oma; but to the court, should be made forthwith. .Yours of ul y, Mrs. T.I E.
