While the farmer has not expressed Wniself very ensphatically in regard to it, he must be classed with those who op - Rose ter, and the conditions that make Vett large war expenditures and the maintenance of standing armies and large navies. Those in the past who have favoured war, or, at least have stongly supported movements that have been the means of bringing gigantic navy and army equipment into existence, are the capitalists and the people controlling the big financial and. business interests. The report of the Board of Trade, however, shows that to the ranks of those who are primarily opposed to war and the con- ditions which make war preparations necessary, must be added the busi- ness men of Toronto. Their line-up in the cause of peace, though the motive !s a somewhat sordid one, will be welcomed by those who have un- furled their banners in the interests of humanity. There is no argument so effective as that which touches a man's pocket. If more of the big capital and business interests of this and other countries could be shnilarly convinced the day of unproductive ex- penditure on big standing armies and navies would soon pass away, —Boost Huron county! And why not? Where will you find, any better ? It has good soil, excellent railway feel - Mies; and a healthy climate. Indeed, statistics show that it is one of the best counties in Ontario, so far as health conditions are concerned. It ie settled by an industrious, frugal peo- ple, and has agricultural possibilities, far in advance . of present develop- ment. Better orchard care, closer at- tention to stock and dairying and more intensive cultivation, will liber- ally increase the farmers' returns. Its towns furnish opportunities for the toiler as well as for the manufacturer. With the hydro -electric spreading its power lines throughout Huron, an era of manufacturing development is bound to follow. Then farm produce will be in greater demand than even now, and tarns lands will increase in value. The "13cesse movement has al- ready begun. On Thursday last at Clinton a meeting was held with this object in view, and orge,niz etion was effected with the following officers ;— President, Mayor Greig, Seteforth ; Vice -Pres., Reeve Leckie, Brussels ; Secretary, James Mitchell, Goderich 'Treas., C. Munnings, Goderich ; Exe- cutive committee, Reeve Goverilock, McKillop Tp.; Mayor Spotton, Wing - ham ; Mr. John Rensfoxd, Clinton, Mr, W. J, Beaman, Exeter; Reeve Living. stone, of Grey Tp. and Warden Sto- tilers. The executive will wait upon the County Council in Deceit- ber to ask for a grant for this purpose ; the Ontario Govet:ement will pay one-third of money expended along this line, aged several towns have signified willingness to cooperate f104 atioially. It was suggested that liter - attire should be distributed liberally and a representative sent to the old land to set feeth to intendiog opt. grantethe advantages of good If Oen toms y. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. ...T....m...9 • Last Sunday was the first of two days in connection with the 45th an- niversary of Winghain Methodist Church, as a, separate charge. Rev. R, Hobbs, a former pastor, under whose energetic ministry, the present edifice was built, was the preacher for the day. His morning subject was— "Love for God's House," based on ,Psalrn 81: 10, In the evening the topic was "The Suffering Savior," as recorded in the inimitable 53sd chap- ter Of Isaiah, The congregations were large and attentive, pleased to have the opportunity of greeting and listening to their former pastor, who notwithstanding reeent illness preach- ed with his old-time earnestness and energy, The service in the Baptist Church was withdrawn for the evening. On Monday evening, the .Official and Trustee 13oar1e of the Church were "at home" to the families of the congregation. Refreshments were provided and served by the men, under superintendence of Mr. Morton, and the work was done with system and efficiency. While some were be- ing served, the children of the Sun- day School gave music and recitations, there were also gramaphone selec- tions. At 8 30, the pastor took the chair and a pleasing program was given. Mr. Flack, the oldest member of the Church, referred to the early days of Methodism in Wingham. Mr. Buchanan gave a spirited address, re- ferring to the department in which he is a successful worker, the Sunday School. Mr. Musgrove, in .his usual pleasant manner referred to eatly efforts of pioneer ministers. Rev. Mr. Hobbs spoke very briefly, the hour being late, expressing the plea- sure it gave hine to be present. The choir rendered excellent music, and solos were given by Mrs, Gordon Rut- ledge, Miss carquharson and Mr. Wil- ford. The "At Home" was very suc- cessful, in fact just what it was in- tended to be, a social gathering of the congregation, Next Sunday, Rev. C, 0. Johnston of Hamilton will preach morning and evening, and on Monday evening will lecture on —• "English, Irish and Scotch." It is hoped that before the annivers- ary closes, the full amount of $525 will be realized. 1.44444a4mosimiminoll Married in Wingham. 'At 5 30 o'clock on Wednesday even- ing November 20th, Mr. Thos. Friend- ship of Teeswater and Miss Kathleen Schiestel of Wingham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Schiestel of Culross, were united in marriage by the Rev. Dr. Rutledge at the Methodist parson- age, Wingham, After the ceremony, a wedding supper was partaken of at the home of the gibom's sister, Mrs. Harry Allan. The young couple will make their home in Teeswater. Teachers' Social Evening On Thursday evening the teachers and officers of Wingham Methodi• Sunday School held a very ,succesetut social evening. After the tasty re- freshments served on, neatly Fr ree,d• tables had. been enjoyed, Supt. Bu- • chanan called the company to order, and spoke of the great Sunday School Convention recently held in Hamilton. After reading .of minutes and other routine business, the delegates to the convention were called. on for their reports. The delegates from this School were—Mrs. Morton, Miss Etta Wellwood, Mrs. McKie and Mrs. Lloyd. These ladies are all active in Sunday School work, and gave most excellent reports, that were helpful, interesting and inspiring. After brief remarks by the pastor, Mr. Lloyd and others, and singing of "Blest be the tie that binds," this very profitable and pleasant evening closed with the benediotion, 0.004 §elaeles. .The Stratford Business College is the sehool for ambitioiss yotmg men pr women.

Balk - will were put shooting they Ethot two white squirrels. White squirrels are rare and unknown to many of our readers, but occasionally a shooter runs acmes one. Messrs. Sweet and Balkwill bagged 22 squirrels during the day. Municipal Councils. The statutory day for the final meeting of Municipal Councils is Dec. 15. As this falls on Sunday this year, the Councils will meet on the 16th to wind up the year's business, and all who have accounts to present, should see that they are in the clerk's hands in goad time, as financial statements are passed into the printers' hands as soon as possible after the 15th. Box Social. This Wednesday evening, Court Maitland No. 25, Canadian Order of Forester, will hold a Box Social and entertainment in the Opera House. Messrs, R. E'llott, High Treasurer, W. G. Strong, Supt; of Organizetion, and other offieers of the High Court are expected to be present and give addresses. An. enjoyable social even- ing is anticipated. The proceeds are for charitable purposes. Bow They Decayed. Mr. Rutherford of St. Helens re- lents heavy loss on his potato crop. Encouraged by the high price last year, he planted plentifully, and figur ed that at a moderate estimate, he should have 400 bushels. They rotted so badly, that when he dug them, he only had 35 bags, and last week when he picked them over, the good pota- toes had dwindled to four bags. A long way from 400 bushels certainly I Poultry Pointers, One of the greatest points in suc- cessful *inter poultry management is to keep the potiltry on the hustle, keep them scratching, and always on the hunt for small grain, or seeds thrown in amongst the scratching material, The close conflneinent that chickens have to tindergo during the winter, in our told provinces must be compensated for by providing good food, green food, clean housee, and abundant exercise. Just as walking is the most healthy exercise man UM indulge in, scratching is to the thioken. Then see that your chick. ens are scratching.

Snowfall Begun. Two feet of snow fell in Ottawa, on Moeday and tied up the street car lines. The weather expert says :— rhe outlook is milder weather. Real sinter is not yet in sight. For until there is a high pressure in the Polar regions, genuine Canadian winter will not arrive ; and big snow storms em- anate from the meeting of warm cur- rents from the Gulf States meeting Polar currents. Whether the weather for Christmastide will be of the snowy snappy variety the weather expert cannot say. Exercise And Fresh Air. The physical system, lacking exer- cise and fresh air, becomes surely, slowly, perhaps, butsurely, sluggish. Sudden liability to colds is the usual result, followed sometimes by niore serious ailments. Winter is the sea' son when the tubercular germ roams recklessly throughout the world. It is a season of pneumonia, 'and other pulmonary troubles. If we could but fully understand and appreciate the fact that it is not So much the cold air that is responsible for these troubles, but the fact that we remain penned up in artifically heated buildings that is iesponsible for most of the winter's sickness we would be far better off. Exercise and air are conducive to good health and the man or woman who indulges freely in both is almost eerte,in to pass the winter through and escape the sickness of the season. Ex- ercise should be play not Woirk. To Music's Time. A number of the youtig people of Wingham and their friends held a sucoessfql Assembly In the Oouncil room on Friday evening. The Lon. don Orchestra, furnished the musk. Among those present from a distanoe were 1—Brussels'-Misses onee, Stra- Olen, Ross. McLaughlin, Gerry, and Mt.

The Atwood Bee of this week con, tains an obituary notiee of the late George Richmond, one of the most respected residents of Elma, who died Nov, 21st, in his 83rd year, after an illness of only twelve hours, Tie was the last ef the pioneers holding their original farms on the 11.th concession. Mrs, W. • H. Stewart, wife of the Principal of Action School, is a daugh- ter of the deceased, Mr. Stewart is well-known in this locality. Mr. Richmond was a man of sterling worth, a member of the Anglican Church, and a Conservative. Another Pioneer Departed. This week, we have. to report the passing of another of those sturdy pioneers, that did so much to make Huron County what it is to -day. On Sunday last, Mr. W. H. Knox of the township of Morris passed to his re- ward. Deceased war born near Ot- tawa, July 10, 1817, and after residence near °Liston, came with his parents to Morris, at the age of twelve years, settling on the farm on which he died. He was an upright man, esteemed by the community, a member of Belgrave Presbyterian Church, and a valued member of the Session. Besides his partner in life, he leaves the following family :—William, 3-arnes, and Abner of TuxfordeSask.. Lorne of Marquis, Sask., Mrs. C. H. Knox of Deckerville, Sask., also Harvey, Enoch, and Misses Annie and Lizzie, at home. All were present at the funeral except Abner and Mrs. C. IL Knox. The funeral took plaee on Tuesday, Rev, Mr. Fer- guson conducting the service. Useful Life Ended. Death always brings sadness, but the death of Mr. Ernest Simmons is especially sad. For the past few weeks, he had occasionally complain- ed of cramps, but nevertheless, con- tinued at work. On Wednesday, 20th inst., while at his mother's home, he took suddenly and seriously ill with peritonitis, and on Monday evening after intense suffering, wi,th several physicians in attendance, he passed to his reward. He leaves a young widow and four little ones, the youngest born on the very day its father was strick- en down. Mr. Simmons was a quiet, industrious young man, a devoted worker in the Salvation Army. Pos- sessed of considerable musical ability, in Christian song, and with various in- struments, he found a sphere of use- fulness, and his death will leave a vacancy in the local corps, hard to fill. His employers speak highly of his excellent character, and he leaves behind him a bright testimony. The funeral takes place on Thursday, ser- vices in the Army Barracks. Mr. Simmons was in his 27th year. His faithful mother keenly feels the stroke, and to the young widow and little ones sincerest sympathy is ex- tended. He leaves three brothers, Harper, William and Archie; also six sisters, Mrs. Brevets of Brandon, Alice, Isabelle, Gertrude, Grace and Margaret, at home. GIRL WANED.—For general house- hold work.

Those who attended the open meet- ing of the Loyal True Blue Lodge, heid on Tuesday evening last to com- memorate the 22ad anniversary of the organization of the lodge, report an enjoyable evening. The meeting op- ened with prayer, led by Rev. E. H, Oroly, and followed by a splendid address by the chairman, Mr. As H. Musgrove M.P.P. The following pro- gram was then carried out—Instru- mental duets by Misses Edith Hall and Hazel Brandon, recitation by Miss M. McDonald, vocal selections by Mrs. J. 0 Smith, Messrs. T. Jones, P. Jenkins, W. H. Willis and J. Taylor, and short addresses by Rev, E. IL Oroly and T. Q. Smith B.A., the leading address of the evening being given by Mr. E. C. Newman of Toronto, Supreme Grand Master of the Association. Mr, New- man gave an inspiring address regard- ing the RoyaA True Blue Association and the need of such an organization. He referred to the good work being done by this assoolation in reselling and caring for orphans and neglected Protestant children. In their Home at Picton, they have at present 79 children, and in ten years have eared for 270 children, and only had one death, and that a delicate child when taken in.

After a protraeted illness attended by very severe sufferings, Mr. Wm. Watters, editor of the Fordwich Record, passed away on Monday last. Several operations to remove the cause of his illness failed to eradicate the disease, and he bore up bravely' under the long -continued and i tense suffering, until, "the inevitable end came, and he passed to a home w ere suffering is never felt. Mr. Watters was born in Howick township,,and after teaching school for some/time, purchased the Fordwich Record.
