From Shoeshine
to Moonshine
It is quite a step from putting a
-shine on a pair of shoes, to put the
shine on a nose, and unquestionably
more costly. At least George Moir,
shoe shine artist found this out last
• week, when he thoughtlessly forsook
his former calling to dispense a lit-
le of the home-brew knock -out bev-
erage. John McKinnon, of the vic-
inity
ic
big
came,to town to see' the
yw
':show, and among the attractions, ac-
- cepted an invitation to George's par-
lours, where he received and paid for
a drink of honest to strength whis-
key, Shortly afterwards he came to
in a back lane, and found he had been
rolled for a $500 coupon bond. His
complaint, coming to the proper au-
thorities, a: charge of selling was
made against Moir, who admitted the
,,charge, and also accompanied Officer
Whitesides to Goderich where he will
be a county guest for a couple of
months. But the : end is not yet,
"Charges have been laid against four
'individuals for relieving McKinnon
of his bond, the case to come up

HEATED DEBATE AT U.F.O. CONVENTION
DECIDES NO CANDIDATE IN CLOSE VOTE
Electricity charged the atmosphere -
at the Nominating Convention of the
United Farmer of North Huron, in
Wingham on Monday, when by a
vote of 73 to 62 it was decided to
place no candidate in the field in the
Provincial Election. This close vote
is just on a par with the result of
the conventionheld o
n
September
A
20th, which reached a similar decis-
ion. That result did not please a
section of the U.F.O. supporters,
who.. subsequently, held an informal
meeting, passed certain resolutions,
which were presented to the Execu-
tive, with a request to hold another
nominating convention for both Pro-
vincial - and Federal Houses. ' The.
Executive felt the delegation was
sufficiently representative and res-
ponsible, to grant their request, and,
this convention resulted.
One hundred and thirty-five ac-
credited delegates were present, to-
gether with about 75 interested spec-
tators, the meeting coming to order
under President Thomas Wilson. Af-

WINGI-IAM UNITED CHURCH RE -OPENING
SERVICES ARE A DELIGHTFUL SUCCESS
Wingham United Church worship-
ped in the newly decorated auditor-
ium for the first time on Sunday, the
services being marked bytheutmost
appreciation at the work accomplish-
ed, and of the noble response of the
member's. Rev. 3. W. Hibbert, of
London, former pastor of the church
was the special speaker of the day,
and in the morning, after expressing
his appreciation of the honor in be-
ing asked to take these services,
complimented the - congregation on
its evidence of progress. . His gos-
pel messages were greatly enjoyed
by large congregations, that, ie the
evening taxing the edifice to 'the ut-
most, and then many were turned
away.
Allan C. Webb of Woodstock pre-
sided at the new organ and Mrs, C.
Kingan as soloist, added much to the
beauty of the scrvicc by their efforts.
Very . general approval and inuch
g
delight is felt at Cite work done in
the church, the whole of which has
been, re -decorated: The walls are
painted a soft waren grey shade, very
restful to the eyes, and bordered with
a conventional border in attractive
relief. Five electroliers of six lamps
each provide excellent lighting, while
an attractive -colored lantern hangs
over the pulpit, 'adding' a pleasing
contrast.
In the installing of the organ, the
chancel ^ has been re -arranged and
presents a commodious and modern
appearance with no altering of the
seating capacity of the church. Two
long seats at the rear of the console
and two others at the side at right
anglesprovide for the choir. A mas-
sive and beautiful quarter -oak pulpit
extends across the platform, while
the seating is a large red -upholstered
couch with high paneled back, New
carpets add to the pleasing effect.
The fine spirit of optimism .pervad-
ing the congregation was evidenced
in the hearty response for funds, the
suscription list more than covering
the cost; while the special collection
on Sunday proved most satisfactory

it would certainly cense a split in

had endorsed the candidature of Mr.
C. A. Robertson and W. E. N. Sin-
olair.
Theseo brief speeches to
motion touched off the electric spark
which let loose a barrage of heated
discussion, beneath which could be
easily seen the old political attach-
ments to either the Conservative or
Liberal parties.
A, G. Anderson stated that a man
would be nominated on the 19th, if
this Convention failed. The ,Annual
meeting last June gave instfuctions
to do this.
W. Rutherford was not interested
in any other party, other than the
U.F.O., which was the only true tem-
perance party.'
R. 3. Scott took almost' an hour to
air his views raking the Liberal ad-
ministrations of the past in rather
reckless terms for their imperfec-
tions on the temperance question.
To -day we have two parties, one wet
and the other a little wetter. The
U.F.O. had prohibition as its main
plank, and with some heat challeng-
ed the courage of the delegates pres-
ent to stand by the purpose of their
organization, andget away from their
old party affiliations. U.F.O. candi-
dates were the only unfettered group,
and had a constitution to back them
up.
Mrs. George Lane sharply quest-
ioned Mr. Scott on some of his
statements, stating that 'U.F.O. can-
didates- were subject to the will of
the Provincial Executive, and after
a few more thrusts of a similar na-
ture Mr. Scott brought his address
to a close.
On the chair announcing the result
of the vote 73 for and 62 against, Mr.
Scott again made a bitter attack on
the convention, questioning the right
of accredited delegates to vote, who
had previously been Liberal officers
in past electrons. He was ashamed
to he, associated with an organiza-
tion that harbored -Libe'als who
'ought to be thrown out.

ently voted U.F.O. suggested that the
meeting deserved an apology from

3. W. Gamble, in' supporting the
motion, stated he had been a Con-
servative in the past, but placed pro-
hibition first, and could not support
