McDon- ald brought forth. a great amount of applause and, we are publishing it in this paper, as it was composed by the reader and we consider it very- good, The London Huron and I3rtioe There's a good ship sails from Wing - ham every morning, down, the line She's called the London, Huron and Bruce, she travels rain or shine, When winter folds his icey arms and locks us in his grip This good old train, goes down the main and does not miss a trip.' The snow piles high till its near the sky, . But she does not reef a sail She's on her way, at the break of day with her head before the gale, When the weather's -fair, she gets her share of sunshine and of mirth With her crew on hand, she's bravely manned She ebuld sail around the earth. A wonderful tale of life on the rail her captain could unfeld, McDonald's his name and he knows -thel gaine, ohl he's a mariner bold, s The brakeman Is a "heilan mon" he wears a sunny smile, He calls each station loud and clear and then talks Gaelic a while He's a genial guy who can play the pipeswithan air that'sproud and haughty, • If you wish to spend an hour with a friend be sure and look up Scotty. In the baggage car rides the poet "Bill" be has written many a 'rhyme He can tell you if its going to rain • and maybe if it will shine' He's so wise he can hear the flowers grow and he talks to the birds on . the wing But he made one ernistake when he prophesied that we'd have an early Spring. AndJ must not forget the two brave men who ride way up in front They face the storm without alarni and bear the, battle's brunt Langlois is the driver's name, he ha e been but a short time here. But his record is good and there's not a doubt 6 That we'll like bins never fear Patterson is the man who'keepsup the steam and shovels the shining coal Leave the cab without "Chet" and its safe to bet, We would'never reach our goal So here's the crew of the Huron and Bruce" with their good ship of • renown Long may they sail in sunshine and hail On their way to London town. • Great credit is due the committee who got up this banquet and arrang- ed the every detail not forgetting the ladies who prepared the good -things and served them. A special train came up from London about 8.30 and returned around one o'clock a jelly but tired lot. Mr, John Quirk, former G.

News From ••••••••••• The Different Churches Of The Town •Last Sunday evemeg Pastor War- dell spoke from the text, 'This is a faithful sayirig and worthy of all accep- *aloe, that Christ Jesus came into the World to save sinners; of whom I am chief." He said why so few are being saved to-daY, could be be traced to the fact that one finds so few who will acknowledge, before God that they are sinners, and only sinners need a Sav- iour, In closing he said it was possi- ble to know that you are eavcd and quoted First jdhn 5-12, "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have 1 written unto you that believe on the name of ehe Son •of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may be- lieve on the name' of the Son of God," He urged all his hearers 'Le accept ihie wonderful promise and have the joy of kudwinig that they art saved new. Last Sunday in the absence of Rev, Ur, McIntosh who was then taking the final week of his allotted four weeks hielidayseRev. Mr, Bennett con- ducted the morning and evenifig set.- Vite8 itt Wingham 'United Church. At the morning setvice, Mrs, Jamieson rentesenting the PIwaiking Shops gave an interesting talk on the °right of the Industrial mission schools hi the East, where the needlework and oriental articles are made, The p6th Psalm and part of Matthew XIII, the parable of the sower were rad Mi Bennett took' as his text Matthew XIII, verse 6, "And because they° had no root they withered away." The sower and the'seed in each of the four cases referred to are the samee In.the instance referred to in the text the speaker used the processes of de- cay and death in illustration of the spiritual decay of the individual. He warned his hearers' of many of the sins causing this , decay effecti.vely. Placing before them the lesson con- veyed in this part Of the parable. • At the evening service Mr, teneett, read again from • Matthew, Chapter XIII, taking the rd verse as his text "The Kingdom of Heaven is Iik unto leaven, which a woman took and'hid in three measures of meal till the whole was leavened," This para. blo illustrates the small force weak at the beginning 'which grows to be a peeler for right in the world. In par- ticular the speaker alluding to the temperance movement showed how by education as itt the home the prohi- bition movement ,would surely be- come a mighty force for regeneration. The choir led the service of praise itt the singing of several anthems. Mr, Geo. Xing of, Toronto rendering the solo, "Take up thy Croes." The einghtg of Mr, Xing was much appre- •dated. • WHY WE IN CheNADA SHOULD • CONSERVEOUR TREES The following is the prize esw re- sulting from a contest held recently in Mr. Posliff's Room of Wingham Public School. The writer, Cora Phair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Phair, deserves much. credit. We will Publish the second best essay writ- ten by Jot Tiffin in next week's issue. North America with one twelfth of. the world's population uses about one-half of all the timber consumed in the world -What is happening to our forests? Paper, pencils, houses, desks, baseball bats, boats and hun- dreds more depend. partly orentirely on the forest. Withoutthe trees we could not have them. We could not do without them. When the Indians roamed the country there were eight hundred and twenty-two million acres of forested land. Much of this has • been cut (hewn both fon a• clearing upon which the people might grow grain to keep themselves and also for homes and fi- Miss Myrtle Bennett has been re re wood as the population has grownengaged for the fourth year as teach - We now have one hundred and er in Ferndale School, Lions Head. • thirty million acres of untouched for- est: and. twa hundred and fifty mill- ion acres of second growth. As bread is considered the staff of life so the products -of the forest are equally the staff of industry. But, our forests are going about four tim- es as fast as they are being replaced. • We use for our oWn use about twenty-three billion cubic feet of wood a year, forest fires and insects destroy about two billion feet more. One reason why we replace our for- ests sand begin a second growth • of trees when we remove the first is: supposing a mill making woodenware is situated in a small community, mo- st of the inhabitants work in this gill]. •The mill has been getting its raw material from nearby forests. These forests, by and by are Used up. The manufacturer finds he has to get his supply from a great distance whis eh of course does not pay him on ac- count of the freight cost. He either has to close the mill or move nearer the forest. Both would mean the end of the community. Think of the men who would be left without work. Tim- ber, should if possible be grown where it is to be used. Every four years enough news- print is made for a strip as wide as a daily paper and leng enough to reach to the sun and back. That is where a good deal of forests are going. It takes sixteen acres of trees to make enongh pulpwood for one issue of the Toronto Star paper. • The man who puts the padlock on the dem; after the horse has been stolen is like the position Canada finds herself in regarding forestry. When the trees are gone we shall then find out how much we needed them. Why do the North American con- tinent use one half of the timber us- ed in the World. Because United Ste- ts and° Canada enjoy the best living conditions in the world. • In the olden days there were no quick ways of communication and this made it very unhandy. Suppos- ing perhaps a President was • being elected. The law makers • provided for months to elapse after a vote was taken. Now we know who has been elected within a few hours after the polls close. The reason of this is be- cause trees are being transformed into telegraph poles. • You cannot draw from the batik without putting something into it neither should you cut down trees without replacing them. Most •of our forest fires are caused by carelessness. ,When motorers are going aleng ,they might throw a mat- ch out which had not gone out and it would catch on the wood and marty other ways in which the trees are des- troyed. Many times The Cat* Fire Girls or the Boy Scouts have seen real for- est fires and they 'know what they mean. People should always be rare- ful and see to it that nothing is about the house or anywhere that would start a fire. Somepeople take about as much notice to a forest fire in the paper as a • snowflake is noticed around the north pole. If more peo- ple would take an interest in our for- ests, try to build them up and pre- vent fires, there wouldn't be half as Ina" trees destreyed and we eellitt Greyhoundnmaking the return trip the Porost,"• p, tn.
