Van Stone Visits in Wingham - The Toronto Star, reporting the return from overseas of Capt. C. G. VanStone, formerly of Wingham says: Among the onicera who reached Toronto from Tunis. ian was Capt. C. G. VanStone, of Mark- ham street, "We had an uneventful but tediotise voyege" said Capt. VanStone, "What about the food on board ship?" aelted the Star, "Well I heard no com- plaints personally" was the reply, "Major A. M. Stroud the 0. C. was very auxioue — to see that all the men got proper treat- ment. He appointed a special messing officer each day to Attend the meals of the men and to remain until , the meals were finished. I fancy that was the first time Buell a course was pursued," Capt. Van - Stone has been wounded four times. He went overssas with the 161st Battalion, (Hurons) as adjutant and while in Eng- land veda promoted to the rank•of Major. He reverted to,the rank of Captain to get M France. He was Wounded with gen- sleet rn the left arm ea April last, and was wounded twice again during the month of JulY. He received a gimshet wound in theaffide in Sept, 1918, during the last fight at Cambrai and figuieci in all the final big engagnmeats. He is 36 years' of age and married. 'Before enlisting he was a buyer for the Wm. Davies Co. PATRIOTIC NOI ES The society wishes to thank Mrs. Thos. King for a donation Of 10 prs. of socks. Also Miss Welt for one quilt: •The systematic giving for December amounted to $69 05, -with one ward not collected, It has been decided to drop tbis collection for the preseht..• Our thanks are due All those who have ao faithfully contributed eo this most heeessary giving Alio to the collectors for their work: .. The soCiety shipped to. Canadian Red Cross this rnonth for Beigian.Rellef, cloth- ing to the amount of 3187.75. There are stills a few cut-out gaiments at the rooms. As it hes been decided to close the 'moms in -the ne.ar future, we would like to have these garments made up as soon as pos- sible. Amongst the numerous letters of thanksate society has received for Xmas boxeathe following was thought to be in- teresting enough to have printed. Buxton, Dec. 20th, 1918 To the President of the Ladies' Petri- otie Society ;- Dear Madarn-e A few lines this everting- to thank you very much for the splendid parcel which I received a day or so ago, everything in it was fine. The 'boys enjoyed the thoco- lates very much but: I liaverft tasted the cake yet, as I am, saving it for Xmas and Eta for the sticks' they will come iri very useful even if I am not over in France now. They will last me quite a long time too as. I have only one foot to keep warm that is as yet but: I hope to have two some time again, and I mus t not forget the driller bill as money isa very essential thing in a hospital especially wheh one is able to get around. Everything is very dear in England now: For instance' fresh eggs 16 cents each, and as yet there are a great many thing e whieb cannot be pro- cured at any price. No one can buy meat and many other things without coupons, but soon we hope that the normal state of affairs will once again be in Vogue. I was wounded on Sept, 2nd of this year with shrapnel in both legs, I laid Out for quite a long time and was not operate ed on until the 4th and by this time gan- gerene had set in arid my right leg was amputated above the knee. My left foot is left numb and tires quite easily, but my wounds are all healed up and I have been walking around on trutches for a month or so. This Is my fourth hospital, the firat being the Second Audralian General in Bolougne, then tiro Imerial ones in Eng- land and no this Canadiari one. Why This place should be chosen for a one -leg- ged Inetitution is more than I have been able to find out, far there are nothing but lilis and hollows, but it is rather a nice place as there are a couple of picture hnialas and an opera. It would be a fine place in the semen time as it quite a summer reset there being a large number of mineral baths here. Wishing you all the compliments of the season and thanking you again for your kind rerametletance. Votes seaceerely, One, A. Ellidet. Kandy Kitchen Sold Mr- Z.

Wingham Losses First Cisme The first game of /Jockey to be played on Wingham ice for some time was played on. Monday. night. 'Because of the war the people of the vicinity have not en- couraged hockey as all available money was needed to give towards patriotic work. However now'that the awful war is over and the victory is ours we should encourage clean sport among the young men of our epwn, As a curtain raiser Mr. R. A. Currie, president of the Northern Hockey League after a few well -worded remarks faced off the puck at the Mount Forest Wingham game in the rink an Monday evening. The game resulted in a score 12 to 6 in favour of the visitors although the playing was more even 'then the score would indicate. Soule Things About 1919 There will be three eclipses, two of the sun and one of the Moon, but this part of the world won't see much of them. Good Friday comes on April 18th, Dominion Day falls on Tuesday and Christmas on Thursday. There will be five Sundays in March, June, August and November. February has 28 days. Spring is billed to arrive on March, 21st at 11 a, rn, Sum- merewill get nere at 7 in the morning of June 22nd. Autumn canters arourid on Sept 23rd at 10 a. na and King Wipter begins putting on his show at 4 p. m. December 22nd. Signs of Zodiac will be the same as in 1918, don't:eforget: The Late Chas. Darr. Th,e funeral ofCharles Barr, son of Mr. John Barr, Hullett, took place on New Year's Day from the family residence, Walton. The late deceased was a young man who had spent his his entire life ,in this neighborhood, was of an industrious turn and his death ie much regtetted -by• a host of friends. He had contracted the "flu" which has been se prevalent in this section during the past month and not withstanding all that medical skill and loving care could do he succumbed. He was married about three years ago to Miss Mona, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Potter, of East Wawanosh, and she with one child is left to rnourn th loss of a kind husband and father. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. B. Hawkins of Trinity Church, Blyth, assisted by Rev. Mr. ,Laundy of Walton. How Money Makes Money The Orillia Packet saye: "Post -master Thompson had an interesting experience a few days ago, when a farmer living neat Jarreett, called with a savings -bank book, which his father, who died three or four years ago, had left and desired to draw the amount to his credit, Examination disclosed the fact that the year of the Franco•Prussian war, away back in 1870, the father made a deposit of $50 which for the intervenhig 48 years had lain at Ottawa uticlisturbed so far as the de- positor was concerned. The book was sent to Ottawa and a computation of the interest showed something over $237 to the credit of the depositor, This- after certain necessary formalities had bete Complied with, was paid over,. The ex- perience is a good illustration of how money makes money even at the low in- terest rate." I COUNCIL MEETINO HURON COUNTY COUNCIL 19l5t Officials and Employees Chosen fer 1919 'rue inaugural meeting of tee Winghara towu council was held at 11 a-nl- an Monday, ,Tan. 13th. for organization. The following mentbere were present and made the required deciarationa of office before clerk Groves, viz: W. IL gurney, mayor. Wm. Isbister, reeve. Thos. Fells, councillor, le, A. Currie, couricillor. Simon leliteliell, councillor, 11. B. Elliott, councillor. W. H. Willis, councillor. A. E.

E, Low titt's residence anti one on Minnie St, to reach Mr. R. Wagner's readenee. -The matter wee left WWI the etetet aomraittee. - The hospital for sick Children and the eounty chieeiren's shelter asked for their usual • grants. Moved by couneillors Elliott and Fells that .the matter of grants to the different or- ganizations be left with the finance C i committeeed. to report at next meeting. — The following letter from Mr. T. J. McLean was read and on motion of Reeve Isbister ana coun. Angus It was referred to the executive com- mittee to report at next meeting: Wingham Dec. 14, 1918 The Mayor and Aldermen, Town of Wingham Gentlemen:- C I atn offering you a suggestion for your consideration even if it be in the last hours of your 1918 Council. Take it fo/ what it is worth. It may be that some ST the present council will return to power for the year 1919. However whoever composes next year's council I would sug- gest that a- Superintendent of Public Works be engaged whose duties could be everything outside of the Electric Light Plant. That he should have jurisdiction over the Water Works in every particular. You are aware we have a good water system and one which brings a good re- venue and one that will bring still greater revenue if properly handled. It is a matter of Patriotism to use every means at our disposalto combat the waterfall and needless use of water: The prevens tion orwaste is good business and the re- sponsibility for waste lies in two places. Tbe edniumer and the Distributer. The latter one the.blame should be laid on niore so than the former one for -he it is that is distributing the supply and has it in his power and authority to prevent it. A waterworks system is not complete without knowing what quantity of water it suppliies at all hours and hew it is be- ingt Electric plants have appliances for as. certaining the quantity of Electricity used and what it cost se yet in the case of the Water System it is the very opposite. We can live without Electricity but we can- not svithdut water. Then along with the Waterworks a Sup- erintendent could control your Streets, Sidewalks and Sewers, in everything per- taining to them. The Streets in particu- lar in the near future will have to be made permanent instead of the useless waste. and expenditure that has been going on in thepast. As there will no doubt be abundance of laborers all this work could be done by day labour if handled by a capable' Sup- erintendent at a lower cost than other- wise. But day labor it expensive where hand- led by the council as a body even if they appoint a foreman. He generally is in- experienced as we have seen in times past the folly of it. 1 am not making these suggestions with anything in view other than this, our ayetem is wrong and can be made right and if some one does not move in the matter we will go on forever. The Water- works and Electric Light works should be separated and each put under proper management end not left to any commit- tee of a council who are as a general rule busieess men who have not the tinie to manage more than theit own business and who eerve a year or maybe two years aid are kieked out if they don't get out and new men take their places who have to be educated into municipal workings. However to make an end to this may 1 trek you if it would not be well to *have this matter looked into and a recommend- ation sent in for the 1919 council to act upon. An Instructive Lecture A most interesting and instructive lec- ture was given in Wingham Picture House oti San. 7th by Mr. A. R. Papa% a Delco Light representative. Mr. Kennedy the local agent issued something like 800 in- vitations but there were very fees there. Ne doubt the reason being that people were afraid of the "flu." One farmer said it was one of the greatest treata that he had ever had along that lirie and made the remark the it was a great pity so few were there. The first reel of pictures showo took the audience through The Delco Plant which was most interesting and allowed what an itillnellse concern the Delco Plant is, also hew the entire machinery WAS made front start to finish. The next reel entitled from "darkness to light's worked in a very beautiful dory of Betty, the farmer's daughter, allowing the great advantages of a farm equipped with "Delco Light," the home being just as modern and well equipped as a city home. In conclusion Mr. Pepin had corotereettotes with differ - oat fedi**. WhO are are antid pain& put- ttiet tn Respectfully yours T 1. McLean. Moved by councillors Fells and Currie that Mr. J. A.

This money is to be borrowed from the bank at 6 per cent and is payable when 1919 taxes are paid. Moved by court.

The Advance has for some time advocated a move to have some suit- able and appropriate memorial erect- ed in honor of the brave lads who fought and fell that liberty might be spared to our fair DoMiniOn. and the entire World. A suitable tablet ShoUld be erected in frintt of our town hall or in ,the park and inscribed on it should be the names of all the boys from Wingham and for a radius of ten or twelve miles who leave given their lives for their tountry. We haVA often thought that it would be nice if one of our boys could procure a souveniur of the war in the form of a captured German gun or eomething of that nature to place la the town nark. The town could pay the exprese charges on it and we would be amply repaid. It is possible that the meteor - lam, in place of a tablet, would be more appropriate in the form of a soldiers' library or reading arid rest room, However, We coniraend the council for their action in taking up the matter and the caleing of it public': meeting for its diactiseion. The following committees were ap. pointed and the first named lo oat ease is the chairman: Finance committee -Elliott, and Willis. Water rommittee-Mitchell, Angus and Isbleter.

There were about forty people in the audience and they . all . ap- preciated the talent very much. Had the concert hive been more of'a ragtime or darky show no doubt tbe house would have been packed.

He is perfectly willing to have his prices and -his values compared with those of the inail order house, but he has a just complaint when he is not given a chance to make this comparison. If all buyers would take the value as well as the price of the article they are buying into consideration, the mail order hooses would all go out of business tomorrow.
