Wingham, 00_0,000,000, Talking Out In Meeting What did the United States enter the war for ? is a question which might find various answers among our neighbors at present. There are not wanting thoze across the line who ere ready to affirm, with flashing eye, that high-minded al- truism was the sole and only reason. Not so the New York Sun, which steps on the pet eorps of the drearners in this blunt fashion.: "One thing which he (Pres. Wilson) saideat Boston, however, thie newspaper and, we make Oo doubt, the American people, cannot fail to reject immediately. Mr. Wilson deelared that he went over to Europe and plunged itito the battlefields there solely for the sake of humanity. We did not. We went over there to help save France and England1 because if Prance and England were not saved our turii Would be next. With France and England lost there was good dhance that we in Our torn might not be teved. Wherefore we went over there, in truth, to save ourselves," oleo Trotvrov—In Wingham; on Thursday, March '20th, Mrs. Mary Trevett, aged 94 yeara and 10 menths, The funeral was held from the residence of her son- in-law, Mr. J.

The sale of stock is proceeding very sateseictorily and the citizens of Wing ham and the public in general are realizing and taking advantage of this opportunity to invest in the. manufacturing business of an article for which there is more demand than for anything else that has ever been put on the market with practically no Competition, The requirements of the Ontario Com- panies Act have been complied with and a charter granted by the Government. Responsible business men of our, own town along with the original inventor and pat- entee of the tire are.. behind the proposi- ton with their money and experience and are beund to make it go. Orders for tires and inquiries in regard to thent and the• conmany pour in with evertimail so that as soon es' the neces- sary capital is subscribed and the plant installed the ompany will have enough btisietess on band, to keep the factory run- ning eteadily.. , Three ears in tqWil.have been equipped with the new tire( and will be on the road visitingthe stirroneiding towns to demon - trate the artidteand let ,the people see for themselves .the satisfaction of. running e motor car with no dread of punctures or blowouts For any information concern- ing the tire. or Co., call at the office at Diagonal Corner: Wingham or write to the Aero -Cushion Inner Tire & Rubber Co, Ltd„ Municipal Poetry There was a man in our town, And he was wondrous wise; He told the City Fathers They should economize, He talked about the -budget In -a most familiar way And said to cut the levy Was naught but children's play, That very man was chosen, Much to his own stirprise, To scramble through the brambles And put the others wise, But when he'saw the job it was. With all his might and main He jumped into retirement And never 'kicked again. Broke Rib le Runaway While two nurses from the Bruce Coun- ty Hospital were driving down Jackson street on Tuesday evening last with a liv- el-y horse, which it seems, had been hitched too tight, the steed took fright at the cut- ter hitting its heels and started in to stage a real, live runaway. Careering down the Court House hill' they made Jehu's wild drive look like a farmer's trot. Believing that disceetion was the better part o f valor and not waiting like Jonah to be thrown out of the ship, one of the ladies jumped from the flier into a snow bank and let the procession brush b y. The other clung to the lines like a long lost friend, and -seemed to beleading for "the pearly gates and golden," as the cutter upset in swinging around the Post Office corner and hurled her onto the highway. That she escaped from the mishap with but a fractured rib and a few bruises shows what is meant by the adage that it is better to be horn lucky than rich.— Herald & Times. The Late Ars.

LAND SETTLEMENT Soldier; Lend Settlement Schornea Be- fore County Council In view of the recent meeting of a com- ; mittee of the Huron County Council to take up the matter of Soldier's Land Settlement, the following information of tbe plan of the Dominion Goverment along thee lines is timely, The question, it will be seen, is only in the formative stage, awaiting the passing of legislation at the present session. Even in Bruce ' county, boys returning from overseas wan may wish to go on the land, has been taken up, the part that the county' will play in the scheme is not yet defined,1 beyond a general backing up of the plan to the extent required. Any ntove withie reason whichecan be made to help men re- turning from overseas, who are ready to take up farming, to got established on the land will meet with general approval. The pldn of the Dominion Government for the settlement of soldiers. on 'land in - eludes the, purchase of land bee soldiers, with the Government's financial assist- ance and supervision, wherever the soldier desires to locate on approval land suit- able for the purpose. The operation of thie plan awaits the passing of the necessary legislation by Parliament In the meantime, steps are being taken to ascertain the location of suitable land in each district of Ontario in which the soldiers may desire to legate,' in order that the land may be immediate- ly available 'when the legislation is ap- proved. An advertisement is being local papers in each district tenders to sell to the Soldier Board suitable land. inserted in calling for Settlement The object of the Government is not only to settle soldiers but to 'increase ag- ricultural production by bringing under cultivation land not now producing or inadequately farmed. The land which will be approved by the Soldier Settlement Board for purchase will be land of hligh agricultural quality and reasonable value and of such a char- acter that the settler will have a reason- able chance, from the products of the farm, to earn subsistence for himself and ge amity and repay the loan which is ex - s tended over a long term of easy payments. While the demand for such locations at the start will be very moderate, and no large turnover of lands is expected, adver- r tisement has been made wideepread as it is desired to have on hand in the office of the Soldier Settlement Board in Toronto, a small approved list of suitable locations in each county or district of Ontario, which could be placed at the disposal of the soldier who decides to locate in a par- ticular district. The Board desires to pay very strict attention in each case to the relation be- tween the capital investment and the es- timated productivity of the farm, in order that the settler should not be overburden- ed by undue capital debt, Very great care is therefore to be exercised in the seiectioh by soldiers of farms of appropri- ate cost and productiveness. The plans for the ascertainment of suit- able land in Ontario will be supervised by tne Board with, it is hoped, the active participation of district representatives of the Provincial Agricultural Department, also with the patriotic co-operation of county representatives and representative farmers qualified to advise the Board and the returned soldier as to the merits of agricultural proposition which is tendered to the Board. The purchase price will be fixed by the Board in each case only after it has been inspected and valued by the Board. • Hydro Meeting In Toronto.
