An unfortunate accident occurred at
Kingsbridge on Wednesday of last week.
Two yout,g lads, Wilfred McCarthy and
J. C. Moss, were playing in a woodshed
where a gun was hanging on the wall.
In some manner the weapon was knock-
ed down and the charge entered the left
wrist of McCarthy, causing sucha wound
that the hand had to be amputated. .
Tlie Department of Agriculture pro-
poses to further protect the sheep own
ers against loss from 'dogs. In the
Committee on Agriculture Hon. Mr.
Duff characterized as an outrage the
fact that when a farmer's -sheep is killed
lie can only recover two-thirds of his
loss fron, the municipality:The Minister
has announced his intention of bringing
in legislation that will enable the farmer
to recsver from the fund tirade up of
the dog taxes full value of any sheep
destroyed.
On Friday evening of last week a
poncert was held in the basement of the
Methodist Church under the auspices
of the associate helpers of the W. M. S.,
which was well attended. An excellent
program was provided by local talent
consisting of choruses, duets, solos, rea-
dings and orchestral music, etc. Rev. J.
E. Hunter, the pastor, occupied the
chair. A "Yankee Copper" contest
and social chat followed, refreshments
being served at the conclusion of the
evening's program. The young ladies
who had charge of the affair are to be
heartily congratulated on its success.
The evening's proceeds amounted to
$16.00.

Glazier --Culbert
.A quiet wedding was solemnized at
the AshfieldlCircuit Parsonage, Lucknow
on Wednesday afternoon, April loth,
when Miss Mabel Culbert, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Abe Culbert, of this place,
and Mr. George Glazier, of Ashfield,
were united in marriage by Rev. S.
Bridgette, the bride being attired in a
dress of blue silk. After the ceremony
the happy couple returned to the bride's
home where a dainty luncheon was
served. Mr. and Mrs. Glazier have taken
up housekeeping on the groom's farm,
Con. 6, Ashfield, where best wishes are
in order.
War Stamp Tax
Tha Post Office Department, having
given notice a week or two ago, in c )n-
iiection with the War Revenue Act, that
all letters and post cards mailed in Can
ada, the United States or Mexico, and
letters mailed in Canada for delivery in
the United Kingdom and British pos-
sessions generally, cr wherever the two
cent rate applied, should in addition to
ordinary postage, carry a one cent
stamp as a War Tax and also having
notified the public that such war tax,
while it should be paid preferably by
the postage stariip marked "War Tax,'
could, if such stamp were not available,
be paid by an ordinary one cent postage
stamp, is now issuing further notice to
the effect that postage stamps may be
used for the prepayment of war duties
on bank cheques, bills of exchange,
promissory notes, express money orders,
proprietary or patent medicines, per
fumery, wines or champagne, as well as
upon, letters and postcards, postal notes
and post office money orders, the inten-
tion being to provide facilities in those
portions of the country where excise
stamps are not already available. This
in view of the fact that postage stamps
may be obtained at all points over the
whole country, in many places where
there is no Collector of Inland Revenue
and no Inland Revenue stamps could be
obtained, is a -distinct convenience to
the public, and no doubt will be largely
taken advantage of.
The Honour Roll
Benson Case, whom we stated a coup -
k of wetks ag-, had enlisted with the
Overseas Contingent, arrived at his
home here Monday night to say farewell
before his departu •e abroad. 7t was in-
` .nttr€J that -fie
isactetnrfisted-at duelph: For some
reason or cther tie was unable to get on
at that point, but later fortunately
found an opening in the Fourth Ambu-
lance Corps, at Toronto, he having the
necessary qualifications for this rank.
His visit here was very brief as it was
necessary ror him to report at head-
quarters Tuesday night, to be in
readiness to embark for England for two
or three twenties' training. While here,
however, he was accorded many hearty
handshakes and good wishes from citi-
zens who evinced considerable pride in
the Dungannon boy in khaki. With
characteristic modesty, !Benson states
that it is a glorious opportunity to see a
part of Europe and eagerly looks for-
ward to what he believes. will be a
wonderful experience.
Whatever the rations are. at camp
Bensons appears very healthy and bolts
well in his uniform. It is one fervent
hope that he will return in good health,
wearing a V. C.
Harold Swarf andRoswell Rutherford
both school chums of Benson's, have
also enlisted. Their fathers were former
pastors of Dungannon
Another Dungannon boy has signed
the honor roll. Last week's Goderich
Signal contained the following:
Mr. J. M. Roberts, the well known
accountant of the Union Bank, left on
Tuesday for London to enlist with the
second contingent Ler overseas service,
With his training as an accountant
"Jack" will be able to give valued ,ser
vice to the contingent in business
matters, and we all wish him good luck
a11d h safe return.
Ja,cli" ie 4 on of the late J.
M. Roberts of this place and was born
and raised here. His host of friends
here as in Goderich know that he will
also give a good account of himself
while abroad. Good luck to you, Jack.

Have You
Renewed?
Obed on Popularity
DEAR EDITER-Did ye ever notice
how quickly the wage of. popularity
spreads over a country' .t tiave. Ana
did ye ever notice how deserving some
are of popularity whe don'c get it and
how undeserving others are who do 7get
it. And nine times out of tc'i the most
popular chap does his admirers the least
good. Fer instance take Je:is Willard, j ;
the new King of boxers and idolized as
he is today, what has he dcne fer l>um• I
anity? What has any pri etighter done
fer humanity? Compare Jess evith Billy
Sunday, the great evaugeriist. Sea . uy
cats, Billy has kept more souls from
Hell in one dey than any prizefigliter
has sent to Heaven in his whole life
time. Its putty straight tut its a fact.
Biily is a great nian. 1d give anything
if I cud heal hint. Wha.tcver men may
think of Billy and his niet'u ds it has to
be admitted that he 0.ets results. And,
on the record it will ha.v.3 to be admitted
that his results generally stick. His
pepulerity and Willarcl's repularity are
two different kinds, though, whish re,
minds me that there are two kinds of
people in a community -those who jilt
like to be entertained ►.y.s dirty, filthy
joke, a little gossip, repori' ` l:oxie,,
bouts, scandallous yarns and a stowed':
full of good things at a church so?ial,
and those who have fur their ideals
great noble thee. svhoseek instruc-
tion frotn them and who do not allow
their tongue to meddle with their neigh-
bors' business. There are those who
rneke the f excuse for net attending
church by stating that their preacher
"isn't in it" with Hilly Sunday and
that some cf the church n eiiibers are
poor samples of Christians. It's all rot.
I perlitely told 'a chap the other day
that there should be some church goers
in -well, you know, but that that
wouldunt Make the filmes any cooler
fer those who didn't attend, As fer
the preachers, well I calculate they can
dish us all up enough spiritual food
without the. side dishes every Sunday to
prepare us for our entry through the
pearly gates. The chap who tries to do
the most good fer hank id is most un
pepulitr with the public -=t general, but
he's the kind who gets there after all.
He is my ideal. What is yours?
"Orin."
An App ,a1
`('lie ' rnarkahl, , reeds
throttgtr�ut t2rorld in the -suppression
of the traffic in strong drink roust be
encouraging to all leaders in moral re-
form work and the fact that the people
of Huron have gone as far as the law
wiil allow in prohibiting the traffic
should be a source of great satisfaction
to the Christian electors of our fair
county.
We are one of the five counties in
Ontario where the traffic is outlawed,
and if our -people are true to their
victions that day will never dawn when
this licensed evil shall again receive our
endorsement.
To say there is no liquor being sold
in our county would net be telling the
truth, but we also say that in the places
where liquor is being sold the responsi-
bility for allowing such sales may be
placed at the doors of the local constab-
les and local officials,
THERE IS NOT A MUNICIPALI-
TY IN THE:COLTNTY WHERE THE
SALE CANNOT BE STOPPED IF
THE CONSTABLES AND OFFI-
CIALS SO DECIDE, and if ,our tem-
perance friends do not demand ;this of
their officers, then they are not entirely
free from some responsibility.
Do you know of some violation? Then
give that inforuiatioe to soine one in
whom you have confidence and let it be
reported to the proper officials.
s.;., We, believe in abueing our inspectors
less and using them more.
4)ttring the last few weeks evidence
of violations have beer. sent to the
inspectors by local workers and over
one thousand dollar -shave been collected
in fines,
As we are passing under the Canada
Temperance Act on May 1st it should
be generally understood that magistral'
es have the power to send a person whs
sells or attempts tc sell liquor without
a license, to jail for one month if he so
decides.
The fine fer selling iii a iso license
district for a first offence now runs from
$300 to $500 and no doubt our mag
iscrates will try to keep urs with the
spirit of the Ontaz'io law by increasing
the minim -ern C. T. A. fine accordingly.
\Ye hope that it shall not be necessary
for anyone is be fined as neither the
municipality nor the province are very
anxious to get revenue in that way but
if men will insist on being anarchists
then they must take the consequences
and the sooner such Hien are behind the
bars the better for the community.
To the members of the local and
moral reform leagues, we say it is your
Cosiness to see that your instructions
are carried out.
"Huron expects that each neap to do
his duty to lift up the moral tone of the
community."
