Fotheringham, President R. M. Jones, Treasurer M. Broderick, Secretary The Wexford located The steamer Mariska was into God- erioh on Saturday and Captain Foote brought what is ooneidered the first authentic ,information of the where., Omits of the steamer Wexford; loat in great November storm of lois. On hie course, Chicago to Goderioh, Satur- day morning he sighted and passed within twenty feet of two spare at ap- proximately the distance apart the spacing of the Wexford'e spare would indicate. Both of these were seen die- tinotly in the fall of water between seas, one shorter than the other, with the after spar still bent. His familiar- ity with the vessel when trading on the upper lakes strengthens his conclusion that this can bo none other than the Wexford, The location is 25 miles northwest by north of Point Clark, and 10 miles northwest of Kincardine. The last seen of this vessel was on the fateful Sunday when the Kaminis- tiquia, whioh had left Goderich that morning saw Wexford about the middle of the afternoon, then on her course to Uoderioh. All that had previously been found wee a lifeboat, and several bodies whioh came ashore near Grand Bend, thirty miles. below here, From location of the vessel it is apparent that she headed 'into the northerly storm, but lied not made many miles before founderiug. The vessel's spare now indicate that she was finallyhead- ing down the lake. Regular Aerial Mali The aerial mail test has been so sue eeesful that it is probable a regular ser - will be established between Ottawa and Toronto in the near future, This was iutimated in aletter from the Prima Minister, Sir Robert Borden, to Lieut- Col, W. Hamilton Merritt, Ths"post- al machine, whioh was piloted by Lieut. Dustin of the R.

For some days peat the seriousness of his illnne was euoh as to make recovery impossible, Mr, Sclater had not en- joyed the heat of health for the last two or three years, but being the brave and strong-willed man that he elm he gave close attention to business until last May when the weight of infirmity own - gelled him to a closer retirement, Singe then every device of medical skill and home devotion -was applied but it became more and more evident that the laborer's task was o'er. For a generation and more Mr. Soalter held his place as one of Seatorth's leading Mildness men As a supplier of coal and wood, whioh are smug the prime necessities of life, he rendered an essential service to the public, and in his business relations he was always known as a man ;who was not_ only honest and straight -forward, but also considerate and kind. Besides be ing a euccess in kis chosen, palling Mr, Sclater identified himself with the wid• erlife of the community, having 'served for years in the Council and as a; mem. bar of the Publio School Board, For fourteeu years he was a manager in the First Presbyterian Church from whioh he will be greatly missed;, Bis loss will be felt with special keeneee in his own immediate family, to wham the eympathy of many Mende is exteuded, As a young man Mr. Sclater ma,ried an ideal help meet in the person of Mies Jean Anderson of Scotland, who still eervtvee, as do also the eutire fam• ily of children, six in number, as fol- lows; Mrs. John Finlayson of Seaforth Mrs, I., Kruse of Galt, Mrs, Edgar Lawson of Auburn. Mre. John Staples of Regina; also two some Mr, Wm. Scab. ter of Regina and Mr, John Sclater. who succeeds his father it the coal business. The funeral which was conducted by Rev, Messrs, Larkin, Brown and Mc• Lean was very largely attended, and the Odilfellows who were also in attend epee conducted an impressive service at the grave. "1 would rather have one hundred acres of land in Ontario than a 1nn- nitioue plant. A munition plant may go down or go up. A s trike may par- alyze it or the war may Dome to a close. A hundred acres of land in Ontario is a gold mine; it beate a munition plant; tor it will not' go down or up; you can't burn it or shift• it, 'and high prices are bound to last for a geuer• ration after the war—thirty years after the munitions planta are melauoholy sorap heaps and their owners are beg. ging their bread, 1 am glad of this great prosperity for the old farm's sake. The first time it was mortgaged it was to make -a doctor out of Uncle Jim and buy him a practice, The next time it was mod - gaged it was to send Brother Eli to thoogioal college for five years, and he is now a missionary in Japan, where they've got a batter religion, than he kits, if I um to judge from the last ser- mon I heard him preaoh. Lieut. Faank duff Mr. Noble Cluff had the 'sad news on Wednesday morning that his young- est son Lieut. Frank Cliff was killed in action on Aug, 28. This young man was a general favorite in town. He joined the 'filet and went overseas ,in 1914, The relatives have the sym- pathy of the entire community in their hour of Badness. Then it was mortgaged to make a lawyer out of Little Matt --we might jilt as well have thrown the money away, Then there was a chattel wort gege on the stools and implements to put our Kato and Aunt Ella through the train nurse machine. So, you see, the dear old plane has been a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for a bench who were no good to %uyone, You oan take it from me that there won't bo so many lawyers, doctors, preachers, eta. tinned out at the expense of the old farm in the next forty years as there was in the past forty. N, At Willoughby Wounded Word was received by Mrs, N. A. Willoughby on Tuesday 'morning that her husband was wounded on August 27th and was in the Comedian Hospital at Boulogne suffering from a gunshot wound -in the back. He was with the cavalry when wounded. Mr. Willoughby was on the staff of the NEWS as manager when ho enlisted in May, 1%16 with the meat, He gave up his position and unlisted Pike many others desiring to fight for his home and country, -He left here in October of that year and has been at the front singe last December, His teeny friends will hope hie wound fs not serious, BIRTHS.

Freakish styles are taboo—and you will not find a single one in this collection We have exerted unusual efforts to have each coat represent a special style feature. The - use of plush by the designers is very important and just enough of it is used to reduce the cost and to give the coat a touch of becomingness.
