North Huron Conservatives The annual meeting of the North Hur- on Conservative Association, for pro- vincial purposes, will be held in the Wing - ham town hall at 2 o'clock, on Friday afternoon, June 20th. Election of officers and other important business. Every conservative is earnestly requested to be present. Ladies specially invited. Hon. W. D. McPherson will address the meeting. • Wedding Anniversary Rev. and Mrs. D. Rogers, now of St. Thomas, quietly celebrated this week, the 40th anniversary of their marriage day having been married in Belmore, June 18th, 1879, by Rev. Wm. Bryers, then stationed in this town. The greater part of Mr. Rogers' menistry was spent in Perth and Huron, Listowel, Atwood, Gore rie, Bluevale, Brussels, Dungannon and Seaforth all shared the labors of Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. After 45 years service they have retired, but we are pleased to know that Mr. Rogers is tint able to respond to calls for Sabbath services. •••••••••tin WHERE SOMECAROWNERS CHEAT THEMSELVES "Battery manufacturers estimate that the average car owner gets about two thirds of the service and life of which his battery s capable", says Mr A. M. Crawford, local William' Service Station Dealer. One of the reasons for this, according to Mr, Crawford is that the owner does not form regular habits with regard to batfery care. He will, for, instance, add water every week just as directions say as long as his car is new. 13ut after he has been driving his car awhile, he begins to slip and adds it only every two Weeks or every three weeks, or perhaps even lets the battery go a month without attention. Fortunately a battery will stand an enormous amount of this neglect before the efforts begin to show, but they are sure to become apparent after a while. The only way to keep any battery in shape to give all the service it is capable of, is to add water at regular intervals just as long as you own your car. Then if you make hydrometer tests regularly be sure that you are keeping the charge up where it ought to be. It you go to the battery service station the minute any- thing seems to be Wrong, you.ean be fair. ly sure that your battery won't do the unexpected thing and go back on you just when you need it most. Moreover you can be certain that you are giving it the sort of treatment necessary to prolong its life. THE DEATH ROLL-. CLAUDE MAXWELL The home of Mr, and Mrs. Robt.

OMMIN•1111111111110 A Disastrous Fire On Friday afternoon last the fine large bank barn belonging to Mr. Robt. Ash- ton, just west of the Gorrie side -road was destroyed by fire together with all his im- plements, hay and grain, harness, some calves and a pig. It is suppcised that the fire started from the windmill which had become overheated as it had been run for considerable time, Mr, Ashton being un- able to get it out of gear. The loss is a big one as it was a fineeharn-one of the best in the township and Mr. Ashton has the sympathy of all in his great misfor- tune. We understand there was a fair insurance carried on the building and con- tents, but in these days of high prices it costs something to. build barns and buy implements and feed.

HURON COUNTY COUNCIL Report Of The Geed Roads Commission (Continued from last week) The Good Roads Commission reported as follows: We met at Blyth on Febru- ary 17th in accordance with instructions received at the January meeting re the claim of Mrs. Taylor, and found the ap- proaches to the bridge where the accident occurred, too narrow, they being about twelve feet wide on the average, and under the circumstances we concluded a settlement should be made, which was done. -Mrs Taylor was awarded $1,000 and a agreement signed by Mrs Taylor acknowledging the payment in full of all liabillty on behalf of the council. We met at Grand Bend on the seven- teenth of April re the bridge crossing the river at that point, and after examining mape,and documents fonnd in the regis- try office with reference to the matter and consulting our solicitor, we decided to take no action regarding the building of a new br dge, as we 'did not consider the county of Huron liable. We notified the Warden of the County of Lambton re result of our decision. A reply has since been received from the solicitor of the county of Lambton which we referred tra our solicitor and the clerk was instructee to write the clerk of the county of Lanibton for the plans, etc., of the proposed bridge or she improvement for the consideration of this council. The commission decided to purchase graders and a crushei for county purposes nfter examining the different graders we purchased from Sawyer Massey Arne. four of the large size graders and three of the smaller type, and from the Dominion Roads Co. of Goderich, a crusher, two scrapers,- a rooter and a leveller all of which have been approved by theGov eminent, We went over a Road No. 19, in the township of Grey and friend the same re- quiring repairs which' we recommended, Road No. 30 in the township of Howick requires draining, particularly the portion between Lakelet and Clifford, but a part of this road apparently has no outlet. Repairs are also needed. Road No. 29 needs repairs and suitable bridge to be built. Road No. 1 (Prairie Road) south of Wingham, we found in a reasonable state of repair, but would recommend that the engineer consult with the Provincial En- gineer regarding the widening of the road. The balance of the road to Blyth should be graded and gravelled where necessary, and the street in Belgrave should be graded, gravelled and drained. We atrongly recommend that too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of draining all roads, as we consider that the arst and most necessary step in good roads construction and maintenance, tile to be used wherever possible so as to avoid danger from open ditches on sides of the road. We recommend that gasoline tractors be bought to run the graders and crusher, more especially for grading purposes, as we find that there is trouble in getting power when wanted and when we have started we should make it satisfactory to get the work done and that three or four be bought. . Re motion of Beavers arid Erwin that a by-law be passed designating all roads in towns and villages that are connecting links in the county system, we recommend that this be granted if approved of by the Department, Re request of residents of Morris and East Wawanosh 1 hat a by-law be prepar- ed, and if approved of by the department it be granted, Re motion in regard to uniform wages, we recommend no action be taken as we considetit impracticable. We iecommend that leave Of absence be granted to hur engineer provided that he can get a competent person to perform his duties when he is absent. Re motion of Armstrong and Beavers as to crusher, we recommend that if the department approves that this be done. Re motion of Douglas and Isbister that a floor be put on the bridge at Wroxeter and that this be looked after at once. Re motion of Crich and Armstrong as to claim of Alex, McLennan for damage to auto on road No 12 paid by Tucker - smith. From advice of our solicitor we recommend this claim be not paid, We recommend that the engineer be empowered to engage a competent inspec- tor to oversee enforced concrete work and pay him what it is woikh.-J.

She like Many ladies retains her age and does not lisolc it, it is clean and comfortable, officets first etas% greb quite up to the mark and beats the Queen's all hollow, Cabins safficiently large for two also hav- ing 4 good promenade deck The passengers just ordinary everyday Canadians, one Frenchman and one Boer, which is about the only foreign element on bparch Did you ever travel on a steamer without a preacher, priest or newlei weds? I never did. There was one man 'well dressed, who gave some evidence of the profession, but am not dead sure about it, as we fellows who leave home change our shirt or tie and deceive the very 'elect, but it is refreshing to travel in peace aud quietness, The latter class do not bother you but are very well be - hayed. The fogs are beastly, the ever- lasting yell of the whistle during the night is somewhat distracting, however taking the matter altogether it excells rail -riding, a train is a poor concern as the selfish spirit is generaller uppermost, on the other hand the boats dissipate that. Arriving on $t Mary's River, is a relief from "Water Everywhere', scenery delightful, presently arriving at the Sault and going through the wonderful Locks, all makes an interesting little voyage. On entering Lake Superior some peoplelose their ap- petite and surrender what they have paid a good price for, to feed the numerous guile' which hover around. In it few hours beautiful Port Arthur looms up, the view up and down the harbor gives the Canadian a swelling in the chest that causes hirn to fell that he is tiering in no one horse country. The ele- vators reminding one that there is a won- derful and grand eountry beyond here. There are sortie good buildings, notably the C N. R. Hotel and fine office build- ing on other side of the street, good street car system connecting with Fort William The site of this city is superb, ground ris- ing from water edge gradually until it as. sumee a considerable height. Property here before war was excessively high, one building I am told %as offered $110,000 for but refused, today won't bring 30,000. Extensive hotels closed on account of ban on whiskey traffic, at present things not up to the mark in consequence' of the war but I should judge these twin cities, ac cording to location will always be the great gateway into and from our match. less country to the west, and will recover their wonted glory before long. I might say the beastly foreign element here is detrimental, who can trust the beggars? They will be a menace and nuisance to 'our Canadian civilization for all time un- less they are speedily civilized and chris tianized and it is going to be a desperate hard job to do it. Oh,eif our Gov't. would keep this a white man's country! We made an awful mistake- in inviting these cattle to come here. The chances are they will bring us down to their level much easier than we canteach them Christian ethics.

As I said before these places are going to come back sure, if grain continues to grow. After a few hours delay we push on to wonderful Winnipeg. Three or four hours and we wake up in no man's or woman's land -for miles we go through scrub, muskeg, rock, water and desola- tion, in places a hundred acres would not graze a goose, I have no doubt that if the job lot was put on Woolworth's bar- gain counter it would not bring fifteen cents an Ore.

All those afflicted with loss of hair are invited to this display when a free demon- stration will be given. Increasing The Cost Of Living Men who object to the increasing cost of living and who go out on strike in a demand for reduced hours or increased pay, or both, are only adding to the high cost of living of which they complain. A successtul str ke increases the cost of liv- trig more than an unsucessful one. In both cases there is the reduction of out- put and in the case of a successful strike there is the increased prite of labour which has to be added to the cost of the article.
