After two weeks visit with her parents, Mi,s Jennie Towne returned to Hamilton, last week There was a good turn out to the Vnton Thanksgiving Services on Sunday. Anniversary services will be held hi the Presbyterian phurch next Sunday. Rev, Mr. Laing of Pordwieh, is expected to take charge, A Cawowliszed Qerman Helmet County Clerk Holman has received a war trophy from his younger son, Pte. Gordon Holman, who enlisted in the old 33rd Battalion, in the form• of a German helmet. The helmet has been painted in stripes of yellow and brown or red, evidently as camouflage to make it in- conspicuous among foliagq. This was captured at Cambrai Sept, 1918 and has been so, marked. A name, which is pro- bably the name of the former wearer, is marked in pencil on the inside of the rim of the helmet. Pte. Gordon Holman first went into the trenches Sept. 1st, 1915, and has thus seen over three years ser- vice and has escaped unwounded. He is 26 years of age, His older brother, Pte. Wilmot Holman, enlisted out West with the 10th C. M. R. and has also escaped without wounds. THE WINO (Toronto News) The result in North Huron is what was anticipated, 13y splitting the Conserva- tive vote Mr. George Spotton has defeat- ed the Government candidate, Dr. T. E. Cease" and elected Mr. W. IL Fraser a Liberal, to the Legislature. Mr. Spotton will be proudof his achievement, and North Huron of its Laurierite representa- tive, A clear majority of the electors was cast on the Conservative side, but for the remainder of this Legislature the constitu- ency must put up with a minority, mem- ber. Mr. Fraser was an opponent of the Military Service Act, and possibly agrees with Sir Wilfrid Laurier that the Ger- mans are "one of the noblest races in the world." The North Huron election like that in Manitoulin was marked by un- usual conditions. In neither case was the Hearst Government under attack. Two other contests are coming on in the near future -the bye -elections in St, Catharines and North Ontario. These should afford the people an opportunity of passing upon the Government's record. If they are contested they may indicate the real drift of public feeling. It behooves all those who believe in prohibition, women's suffrage, the Hydro -Electric system, and generally progressive government to rally to the support of the Administra- tion. Blyth Mr and Mrs. Henry Homey ot Goder- ich, were in town on Monday 4;asting their ballot for their candidate The regular meeting of the council wan held in the Industry Hall on Monday eve- ning.

U. met at the home of the president, Mrs Myles Young, on Wednesday evening, Novem. ber 27th, and presented Miss Bentley with a gold headed umbrella on the eve of her departure to Goderich. The following is the address; -Dear Miss Bentley, one of our leading authors has said "It is always the unexpeetet-1 that happens." This has been so in your case. As your home was here we cherished the thought that our pleasant associations with you and your sister Lottie would continue at least for a 'few years longer. So it was a surprise to us when you decided otherwise. You have resided in Blyth for 27 years, 10 of which you have been associated with the Women's Christian Temperance Union, filling the positions qt Treasurer, Presi- dent, and Superintendent of medal con- tests' In each of these positions you have w o r k e d cheerfully and faithfully. By means of the many medal contests among young people Not only has temperance sentiment been cultivated but a training has been given in elocution and in vocal music. You and your sister have won the admiration and esteem of the community by your devotion to your aged parents while the church has found a firm ally in helping along every good work. Your fellow -workers of the BIyth Union have met this evening to ask you to kindly ac- cept this small toden, not as a measure but as a mark of our appreciation of your helpfulness in the work undertaken by our society, hoping also that it may serve as a remembrance when we are absent one from the other. May God's choicest bles- sing rest upon you in your new, untried field of labor. Our best wishes go with you and your sister and at last when we are -done serving here may we all meet in that realm where parting is unknown.

We are all glad to hear that' Mr. Jaynes Young has installed the North Huron Telephone. He will find it a great con- venience. BORN Misiaa;oit--In Wingham, on Wednesday, Dec. 4th, to Mr. and Mrs. Finley Mel- lor, twin girls. High Price for Wine, So long as there are Germans left who will pay $107 tor a gallon of wine that country Is evidently not yet in the last throes of starvation. That is the price at witieb a cask of Eitviller Taubersberg was sold at the recent auctions of Rhine wines of the 19I7 vintage. The total results, too, of the wine auction for all Ger- many show that the people are spending remarkably large sums for wine. The spring auctions, covering mostly wines of the 1.117 vintage,. brought In a total of $13,200,000, reckoning at the normal rate of ex- change. The significance of this sum becomes evident when it is stat- ed that the larger vintages of the. year before the war never brought more than (8,200,000. It is a note- worthy pletnre---G4trinany staggering to its fall in a military and political .sense, yet the armies of war profi- teers are falling aver each other to buy luxurious wines.

Born at Ileidelbetg In 1871, the son of a tailtr, he be- came a liarnessntalter. Later he was' editor of a Socialist newspaper, and he has been prominent In th' parry councils for many yearf;. He became a Socialist member of the Bremen City Council in 1900. In 1912 ho was sent to the Reichstag from Bremen. In 1913 he was elected loader of the party to succeed August Rebel, who died. During the greater part of the war 1 bort Joined Seheidentann alai other Socialists, who supported the war. against the small and persecuted fac- tion headed by Liebknoeht, who op- posed it, with the result that Ebert has been looked upon by radical 41=, eiuliets all over (he world as a mile - gado front Sociai,Ist principles and en instrument of German principles. in 1917, however, Ebert attacks. the German Government for its an- nexation plans and sought to forcer the German and Austrian Govcre- Irtente to abandon their programs for annexation, under the guitte of pro- tectorates, of Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic provinces, In. January of this ,•ear Ebert made a bitteis attack on.the censorship for suppressing the Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts and for forbidding publication of news of the general strike then in progress in Austria. In this speech he said: "We welcome the action of the proletariat of Austria-Hungary and express our warmest Sympathy. Ger- nion workmen, when aseessary, will use their full power to combat the.ef- forts that are preventing an early Peace based on understanding and right." Ebert was elected president of the main committee of the rteiebetag in June ot this year, After the resigna- tion of Von Hortltng as .Imperial Ger- man Chancellor and of Admiral von Hintze as Foreign Secretary in Octo- ber, he was one of those, under con- sideration for the Chancellorship. The Strange Roumania. Among the Albanians lives a frag- ment of a strange people who call themselves Rumani, said to be de- scendants of the Romans.— of that fifth Roman legion which dispersed. 'and was scattered along the old high wag stretching from Durazzo to Con- stantinople, This great road of an- cient. Roche (via Etnatia), called at its beginning the Appian Way, passes southeast through Italy to Brindisi; begins again at Durazzo, runs thence through Elbasan by Lake Ochrida to ifirusha, and on to Monastir and Vodena; thence to Saloniki and be- yond to Constantinople. The Runtani are very proud of their origin, and answer the question of race by saying, 'I ant a descendant of the Romans,' They are a simple, pastoral people, not given to rob- bery or brigandage. Their primitive little villages of stone are frequently seen in tll,e mountains, often perched near high summits. . A large colony of them, known as Vlachs, live 'in the slope of the Pindus Mountains in sight of Llascoviki, but far away across valley and gorge. From the heights where they graze their flocks in summer, the Rumani descend into the valleys in winter, and on the road igen, women ^nd children, surrounded by their hun- dreds of sheep and goats in search of grazing lands, form a picture of no- mad life=that reminds us of the days of Abraham. Where is said to be some 80,000 of these Rumani, but who really knows their number,, scattered as they are over hundreds, of mountain peeks, in inaccessible villages or caves and ntav-ing from place to Matte? 'Economic Reaction -Expected. As a preparation for a period of eronoutic reaction, sure to follow in the wake of the war, the Tokio Jiji recommends the contraction of Cur- rency by the administration. As re- gards the industrial circles now en- joying war prosperity, it advises business men to provide ample re- serve funds so as to be prepared against a sudden decrease of profits and also to consider treasures so as to avoid any sudden discharge of em- ployes in Consequence of the reduc- tion of enterprises after the war. That the promotion or extension of enterprises is welcome to the na- tional economics Is due mainly to the fact that it gives employment to many people. But the promotion or exten- sion during 'the war would have no meaning should it bo followed by redaction or suspension after the war, throwing many workrrran out of employmen. It is incumbent, there- fore, upon the capitalists not only to solve the question of the distribution of profits but to solve the question of unemployinent, This is an endorsement of the views expressed by Baron Shibusawa. Public Women In japan. Women are taking an increasing part in Japanese nubile affairs, and some have been appointed to posts of trust. A woman doctor, Miss Fufn Kyo, was named by the Tokio police departlnent to investigate the causes of infant diseases and' to arrange a plan for the assistance for poor wo- ttlen. Miss Tatou Iahuta was ap- pointed to a similar post in Osaka. Some women conductors are found in the suburban electric railways, end now a woman stationmaster has been appointed.
