WHO WILL BE THE
WARDEN THIS YEAR?
When the County Connell meets
on Tuesday, jan. 24th the election of
a new Warden will be one of the
first duties, This year there are 15
liberals and 14 conservatives in the
council and it is the liberals turn to
have a Warden. • It is understood
that there will be four candidates for
this office, I. J. Wright of Turnberry;
James Ballantyne of Usborne; John
McNabb of Grey, and J. W. Cragie
of Goderich.
The Township of Turnberry has
not had a representative elected war-
den' for a long time. Two years ago
Mr. Wright stood for the office, but
was not successful. This year he is
again entering the field and it hoped
he will meet with success, but it is
understood that other contestants
have been very busy with their can-
vas and he will have strong opposi-
tion.
Mr. Wright has been five years in
the County Council and is most con-
versant with the affairs of the Coun-
ty, and his many friends are pulling
for him to be the next Warden of
the county;

HURON MAY HAVE
ONLY ONE SEAT
The Toronto Telegram published a
forecast of the redistribution of seats
for the Provincial Legislature. It
Says:
In its plan for redistribution, now
in 'course of preparation and to be
submitted to the forthcoming session
of the Legislature, the Henry Gov-
ernment, The Telegram learns at
Queen's Park, will establish a Legis-
lature with 92 seats, instead of the
present 112,
Toronto, it is reported will lose one
scat, but the Yorks will have one ad-
ded. This will give Toronto 14 seats
and the Yorks five. 1
According to reports :the riding of
St. Patrick's and St. Andrew's in the
central -west section of the city, will
be combined. St. Patrick's is now
represented by E. J. Murphy, and St.
Anrdew's by E. Fred Singer, K.C.,
the. ridings having been established
in the last redistribution.
The new riding is likely to be es-
tablished in the district lying 4orth-
west of the city, taking in the north-
ern section of West York, now rep-
resented by Harry L Price, and the
west end of South York, represented
by Hon. Leopold Macaulay. This
district includes York township, 'Wes-
ton, Mount Dennis and Fairbank,
which area is declared to have grown
sufficiently to require another mem-
ber,
One Seat for Huron
The reduction of twenty in the
number of seats, it is reported, will
be made chiefly in rural ridings where
under present .conditions members
are representing a ' comparatively
scall population in a large arear. It
is felt that a combination of ridings
will be made, such as the two Ren-
frews, now represented by Hon, E. A.
Dunlop (Con,) and T. P. Murray
(Lib.); North -cast and South Welfing
toll, represented by L'iberals, Dr. G.
A. McQuibban and Paul Munro; the

INFLUENZA IS
SPREADING,.
Many in town and surrounding dis-
trict have fallen sick before an epi-
demic of influenza that spreading
rapid19 through Ontario, It is of a
mild type, however, and no deaths
from it have been reported.
The disease is highly contagious,
and people with coughs should be a-
voided.
Cougs, nose and throat infections
akinto head colds and body aches are
the evidence of thistype of 'flu. Jud-
ging frain the number of calls doc-
tors have had, there are many in the
locality nursing those coughs and
aches in bed.
It spreads rapidly from person to
person, but not, in the opinion of the
health officer, because of weather con
ditions. Its spread is due almose en-
tirely' to its contagious characteris-
tics, and not to the varying weather.
It is not the same type of 'flte that
was prevalent in 1918; ,
