Howard of town had a bout on Monday night last with the Grand Trunk Railway, in which the big corporation came off second best. Mr. Howard was coming home with his wife and baby from a visit at Holmesville and had put up the semaphore and lantern at the Holmes- ville flag station for the evening train, which, however, did not stop, but came right through to Goderich, leaving the would-be passengers stranded in the freezing weather. Mr. Howard then got into communication by telephone with the G T.R. agent here, informed him of what had occurred, and asserted his rights in such vigorous fashion that the train went back to Holmesville, and brought him and his little family in triumph to Goderich. 'twill probably be some time before the signals at Holiaesville are again --e ' disregarded.- Goderich Signal. W. C. • T. U. Notes Our Boys are Thirsty, they deed Thirst Quenchers, that will not hurt them The W. C T. U. is endeavoring to raise a fund of $25,000 for free tea, cocoa coffee and lemonade. The National Y. M. C. A. whom the Ontario W. C T. U.,is aiding, will need $50,000 to cover their free drinkables. - In addition to the free drinkables, the Ontario W. C. T, U. has become respons- ible to the Y. M C A. for the cost of printing a weekly leaflet of cheer and spiritual help, which is being sent through the mails to all the soldiers in the forward trenches, whe express a desire to receive It The appreciation of the men for this bit of comfort can b. judged by the fact that, in one division alone, and within one month after the issue began 15,000 soldiers asked that their names be entered on the 'Pay book Leaflet" list, the leaflets being eo named from the fact that they are de- signed to fit into the soldiers' pay book. To aid in raising the necessary funds the W. C T. U of this town will shortly hold a Silver Thimble and Trinket Day when they wileask every citizen to look viChrough their poesessions for broken use- less, unwanted bits of gold and silver trinkets discarded jewellry or sterling table silver .

Under the arrangement between the political parties in the Legislature for avoiding a war -time election there will be no bye -election contest in North Huron-, The candidate of the Conservative party in the riding will be permitted to take the Seat without opposition. It is an arrange- ment by which the party which held the seat shall be allowed to fill the vacancy. It. is a natural arrangement and a ser- viceable one in an emergency like tlie present, when the desire ie to avoid in election. But it imposes a special respon- sibility on the parties. If they are to be allowed to fill each of the vacancies without a contest it becomes their duty to see that the ridings are worthily eepre. muted. : They are called upon to choose, not merely whining candidates but men who may be -counted upon to earn the respect and confidence of the electors. A special responsibility rests upon the Conservatives of North Huron In Owes- ing a candidate they will be selecting a representative, and this representative will be the successor of A. II Musgrove, Hon, A. M. Ross, Hon 5. T. Farrow, Thos Gibson and others, who not merely did honor to the riding but gave distin- guished service to the province. And let it be remembered that there never was a time in the history of Ontario when the province was more in aced -of the service of able and patriotic men than it is at 'present mid will be hi the years that are-' come. The problems which the war has brought and will bring are beginning to press heavily on the attention of -thought- ful people. They will require for their solution the best service of brain and heart which the ablest men of the pro- vince can offer. It will be expected of North Huron because of her political history, that her representative shall be capable of taking a useful and hopourable part in the working out of these problems • The responsibility rests upon the Conser- vative party to provide such a repre- sentative. He should be a man, in the hest place,. with a healthy and active desire for the public service and with sufficient ability to lift him above the commonplace He should be a broad-minded man, an active - minded man, a mare of thought and vision. It matters little what his relations to the party may have been; the important question is, what are his qualifications for public service? It is not or it should not be a question of how lie can serve the province, To treat the problem as one of party politics and nothing more would, under the circumstances, be a breech of trust. The Conservative party in selecting. a candidate, is asked to speak for the whole riding; it is asked to speak for a -riding whole representatives in the past the whose province has been glad to honor. • .
