• of Seaforth made special reference to the
way the Temperance Laws were being

congratulated the officers and the

demonstrated very clearly," said Mr.

' be enforced and that Huron County will
. be "Bone Dry" in the very near future,
itcl that this very desirable position was
being reached without using harsh meth-

While most of the former license holders
have been observing the law there have
been a few who will persist in "Delyiug"
public opinion and have no right to ex-
Pect leniency iron' the officers who, are
pledged to enforce the law. Nor are the
former license holders the only violaters

Prices 49 Years Ago
In an old day book at the home of J 13 -
Campbell we noted some prices of groceries
and other commodities prevailing in the
year 1869. :Eggs were 13c a doz, raisins 12c
a lb, butter 15c, sugar 12ec, tea $1.00,
cups and saucers 50 cents a dozen, window
panes 10x12 inches 5 cents each.—Ches-

it Has Hem Colder
Unduly cold has been the first month of
1918, .and in only one previous January
1875—was it colder,, Apparently last
month was striving for a real record and
it came near to making it. In January
1875 the mean temperature for the month
was 12.8 while for the last month it was
13 3. No thaw set in last month. and it
was the only January on record when the
temperature never rose above 30 degrees ;
in the whole time. The highest rate at
which the wind blew was 50 miles per t
hour and that on January 28th. There
were 113 hours of sunshine during the
month. The snowfall last month was 23
inches,
Roads Built After The War
There will be little, if any, construction ge
of new roads in Ontario this year. All 1
that will be done will be in regard to t
maintenance, so that when the war is over sd
and the demand for good roads and em- a
ployment becomes increasingly keen, the v
demand may be met. Of the thirty.seven
counties in Ontario, thirty-four have enter-
ed hit o the Good Roads system, and have
agreed to assume county control. Those
still remaining outside the pale are the q
consolidated counties of Notthumberland,
Durham and Peterborough.
It is expected that these will come in 2-1
before long. tambion was the Ina to
come in last Thursday, and has taken over W
300- miles of the 3,000 assumed by the
entire thirty -Leven. Of its entire acreage :4
Larnbtori County has only two per cent of ha
land unlit for cultivation. A
At the present time the Province aj.tz
sumes 40 per cent of the cost of mainten. tt
ance and the counties of 00 per cent. Ito

realize his thoroughness, his far Vis-
ion, and his infinite application to

a series of military victories can be
more exclusively attributed to the
personality of one man.
"The retrieving of the Situation

Kut, the reconstruction of the fight-
ing machine, and the breaking up of
the Turkish force in the Tigris, call-

in combluation, amount to geulus.
In those dark days Britain prayed
for a great man—and lie was on the
spot.
"The operations which led to the
capture of Bagdad were a series of
masterly strokes, so brilliant in con-

pronounced as to be remarkable. He
detested flattery and would have lilt-

neigh anonymously. No personal ref-
erence to himself was permitted in
any public comnaunique. He never
gave himself the credit for any suc-
cessful operation or stroke of genius,
or sound piece. of organization. He
never listened to congratulations
