The Greatest Name In Goody -Land Oa account ot Mr. Fingland occupying the position of treasurer of his township, it was found it would be illegal for him to e�I be county auditor, and the motion ap- pointing him was therefore withdrawn and Mr, D.

Richards bLthe Salvation Army made an appeal Nor a contribution to their fund for work among the Canadian soldiers, over- seas or returned. ;The Army was at the front as soon aa,war started and the one rule in connection with their work was to refuse assistance and comforts to no one. A letter was received from the Stratford Provincial Highway • Committee announc- ing a meeting in Stratford, Feb. llth, to which the council of Huron County was asked to send representatives.' This is in connection with a movement to have a Provincial Highway constructed through Stratford, vyith a possible extension to Goderich and Owen Sound In this con- • nection M r. "C. L. Moore and Mayor Wigle, from the Goderich Board of Trade, waited on the cotincil and intimated their willingness to assist in making a big rep- resentation at the Stratford meeting. 1 he Red Cross grants made at the De- cember session tiave•not been distributed as the ked Cross Societies have ceased Red Cross work and have gone into Bel- gian relief. The council, however, passed a motion that the grants be paid, consid- ering the work of 13elgian"relief as worthy an object as the other: Motions for the following grants were referreditw•.the executive committee: $25 to each ,Agricultural Society holding a fall fair; the usual grants to continuation and Filth class schools; b1,OU0 _ each to the Goderich and Wingham' hospitals; $25 to each public libray in the county; $25- to each Board of Agriculture and $10 to each Women's Institute; $25 to the spring seed and live stock shows' at Seaforth, Clinton and Hensall;' $$25 to each school fair; 8.500 to the .Children's Aid Society; and wk0,O00 tb the Salvation Army to be expended for the benefit of the Canadian soldiers overseas and at home.—Goderich Star. • Reeve Isbister made application for a grant of $25 froth the council 'towards the Wingham Spring Fair and while he was fortunate in securing it we understand that Reeve Doig of Howick took the trouble to ridicule the show held here for the fast couple of. years. Evidently he did not know very =eh about what he was talking for after receiving returns from the spring fairs, J. Lockie Wilson very highly complimented the society on - the success of these fairs.

So, per- haps, he iot1Lginee the Roman slave stood, surrounded by the weapons of warfare' of his own time and fashion, for the famous address, beloved of all schoolboys, which has been put into his mouth. "Ye call nie chief; and ye do well to call him thief wilo, for twelve long year, has inet upon the arena every shape of Ulan or beast the broad ldlnpile of.Itonte could furnish, and who never yet. lowered kis arm. If there be one among you who can. say that over, in public fight or pri- vate brawl, my actions did belie my tongue let hi•i, stand forth and say 1t.' If there be three in all your company can face ine on the bloody sands, let thein come on. And yet, I tells not always thus --a hired butch- er, :1,- savage chief of still more nae- agcy men!" 1Vith equal truth and equal Jus- tice (night the leader of the Sparta- cus group in Germany say that he wa.; not always t 11us. The ancient Spartacus goes on to tell how he had been a peaceful shepherd in the valleys of Thrace when the Romans cause to Greece and captured him, making him one of the slave gladia- tors of the dissolute metropolis. As It is known in history, he called the 80 other gladiators of the School of Capra to his side• and started one of the most fearsome revolutions in Rome, which lasted from 72 B.C. to 71 B.C. At that time Rome was in a mate of moral disintegration, which al- lowed of luxurious living and wild dissipation on the one hand and keen suffering from famine and auto- cratie oppression on the other. The corn laws providing for the gratu- itous feeding of the starving prole- tariat in Rome had to be continually changed to meet the demands of the weope ele. abs nt onTheaof the o feign service:ntate All these things made the moment ripe for the uprising of Spartacus. Be- fore very long he had gathered a _vast army recruited from the ranks of suffering Thracians, Gauls and Germans. The armies of Rome met with defeat after defeat at their hands and for a time it looked as though the tables of Rome were be - ling turned in a manner vastly dia- tasteful to the ruling classes. But, as is true in most rapidly rising mili- tant movements, there was dissension in the ranks of the victorious slaves and the army divided in two, soiree going to the side of one Crixus, a rival leader, the rest standing firm by Spartacus. All the members of the ranks were, however, agreed on one point, that to the victorious - array belonged the spoils of their conquests, As a result, much, against the wishes of Spartacus, the soldiers, drunk with power, pillaged, raped and plundered the Country in a man- ner vastly superior to that of their aforetinie oppressers. In the end, of course, the superior .forces of the organized Roman armies defeated thein and made °a torrible example of tliein by crucifying 5,0.00 -rebel sol- diers on the Appian Way. Spartacus died like a true soldier, with his sword in his hand, The story marks one of the bloodi- est pages in Roman history, and in 7. Berlin they are finding other Roman parallelt'i.

Bank has just ;closed another successful year as will be seen by their annual statement in another column. The supreme test of a bank's strength is its position in respect to assets, --for herein lies the measure of its ability to meet adverse conditions should they arise. Measured by this test, the Domi- nion Bank according to the figures reveal- ed by the annual statement submitted to the shareholders at the meeting on Wed- nesday, 29th January, undoubtedly oc- cupies a decidedly strong financial posi- tion. One particular item which indicates this Is the immediately Available Assets: meaning of course -those which could be forthwith turned i nto legal currency if circumstances demanded it, This group of assets increased during the year by the substantial sum of $5,80@;000` the total now being $63,500,000.

In Dreams, The faith of some people in dreams is strikingly illustrated by the story of Mrs. Fry, of Lewes, who, al though repeatedly informed by' n. War Ofnce, the commanding sneer, and the chaplain of Ms • 1. „hnent that her son was killed At - We. months ago, steadfastly refused 0 believe 110 was dead, simply be- ',(rtt:ie she dreamt he was alive. Constant dreams of her son buoy - Cd up her hopes, and she expressed les self as in no way astonished when l last she heard that he was a i. f)ner in Germany.

Later, on arrival at Durban, he re- cuived a letter from his mother etatilig that shelled had a precisely Pitnilar dream, and begging him not cin go with a certain expedition.
