This puts the local team well in - the lead of this group, hairing won all games played so far. Brussels and Ripley have each lost two, and Wing - ham has lost 3. Wingham defeated Ripley at Wing - ham on Friday night, but got even by defeating Wingham at 'Kincardine on Tuesday of this week, the score being 9-6. There should be a great contest at Kncardine on the night of Feb. 3rd, when Lucknow and Ripley teams will meet. This will be a decisive game between the two teams which have proved themselves the best of the group so far. L. M. C. A. Subject for next Sunday: "We Get Out of Life What We Put In It."

WITH SWEEPING M tJARITIES Lucknow Ratepayers All Lot Unani- mous For Hydro By -Laws No 4 -laws ever submitted to the ratepayers of Lucknow met with n tore complete endorsation than did those voted on on Monday of this week. On the enabling by-law• the vote stood :. Yes, 184; No, 2; and-oa the iiioney by-law 185 voted' forand only one against. The south side was solid for, the two byislows. it is safe to aay that those who voted against the by-laws did not understand very well what they were voting for. Considering the rather disagreeable day, and that little effort was made to get the -tote out, ,the percentage of votes which came to the polls was largP There 'can be no que'ition fic• to here the people of Lucknow stand as • to getting current from the Hydro Commission. Engineer Flint, who was here on Thursday night of last week to give information regarding the proposed extensions of the Hydro system throughout Bruce County, proved a very good man. He is thoroughly posted, and gave intelligent answers to all questions. If nothing quite un- expected develops and present plans are carried out Lucknow will have a supply of Hydro current early next fall. As to the cost of domestic ser- vice, Mr. Flint said that an idea could be had from the experience of smother town where the price per horse power is the same as it will be here. In that place, he said, the average cost of lighting houses is $1.13 per month. SCOTTISH. CONCERT Murdison, the famous Scottish Coln- edian, is making an Eastern Canada tour, and is booked to appear in Luck - now, on the evening of February 4th, with orchestra. Prof. R. T. Cowell, of Wingham, organist and leader of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church choir, is responsible for this world famous Comedian appearing in a number of the towns in Western Ont alio. Professor Cowell, under whose patronage the concert will appear here is a veteran of the war, having enlist- ed in Wingham, leaving a wife and family to go and fight the Germans in their vain attempt to gain world power. Prof. Cowell, is to be con- gratulated on his enterprise and de- serves the patronage of every- citizen on the evening of February 4th. -Murdison, "The Real McKie, Scot- tish Comedian, absolutely a scream clean," is the criticism of the Prince Albert Herald, and the Leader says: "He took Regina by storm." At But- fa1es-14X-, he again took the city by storm. The reception which Mr. Mur- dison received, and the encores which he was asked to respond to, is suffi- cient to recommend his gifts as an en- tertainer. His portrayal of the "Rol- licking Scots" together with his num- erous Scottish jokes, made a great impression on the vast audience. This will be the one big treat of the sea- son and citizens should arrange at once to secure a seat He will be sup- ported by orchestra and able staff of entertainers. The admission has been placed at 35 cents, reserved seats 50 cents, on sale at J. Garnet Arm- strong's drug store. LA URIER —Tuesday, Jan. 27.• Mrs. G. Barkwell t9--eildren are visiting the formerr mother, 'Mrs. Hamilton. Miss Tena Kempton has returned to Chatham after spending the past month at her home here. An epidemic of la grippe seems to be passing through this locality. We hope that it may pass quickly. The majority of the people have their summer's supply of ice in. The quality is much better than it was last year. Those who attended the Ashfield Improvement SoCiety last Thursday evening had the pleasure of listening to a real treat. The subject for the debate was one of vital importance at the present time. Resolved, That -the Immigrants Coming From the Euro- pean Nations are a GreatAsset Than a Liability to Canada." The subject was thoroughly discussed by MOW% Hettiltst:Xaci,enn and Ila ine- Stewart 'ion the negative, and Messrs. Denald•MaeLean and Neil J. Macken- zie on the affirmative. After4due con- aideration the decision was given to the negative side. • IMPROVING TELEPHONE SYSTEM What are those telephone linemen doingis a question which must have occurred to „many Lucknow residents within the past two months as, day after day, they saw the men at work. taking down poles and ' wires, and putting up other poles and wires. The work is now completed and the .men with their outfit • moved away yesterday and to -day, and we are able to say something as.to what has been done. The general foreman dropped in at our sanctum yesterday morning and in answer to a few questions in- forMed us that the work done here would cost the company about $4,500. A new office distribution frame had been put in --,one of the_latest type; an underground conduit, carrying all the wires across Campbell street had been put in. • All the open wires on had' f: uv t41 s able suIisiitutod.. This vable contains 200 pair of wires, and the fact that all of these had to be prop- erly connected and tested on what is known as the "office pole", accounts for all the work the men• had under that canvas shelter. They had 1,200 connections to make. Besides this an extra cable of 50 pair of wires was extended to Outram St., south to Willoughby, and east to Havelock street. All the open wires south of Campbell have been removed, and re- placed by cable. The advantage of the changes made is that it enables the company to take care of additional business as it de- velops, and the cables have great ad- vantage over the open wires in that there is less disturbance by storms and the wires are not interfered with by trees. The man in charge of the work here was Mr. W. J. Brown, cable foreman : - The men have gone from here to Har- riston. They are a hardy lot of fel- lows and stuck to their work through all the severe 'Feather of the past _ month - CREWE —Monday,: Jan. 26.. Mrs. Matthew Shackleton spent a few days visiting her sister, Mrs. C. Webb, Goderich. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gauley, of God- erich, spent Sunday at the home of Mrs Isaac Gauley. • - Miss Ida Rivett spent a few days recently visiting her cousin, '--- Mr. Thomas Rivett at Dungannon. Mrs. T. Roach, who has been spend- ing the past few weeks with her daug- hter, Mrs. T. H. Culbert, returned home Wednesday. A WATCH ASND ITS IDIOSYNCRASIES An old jeweler, who has handled thousands of watches in his:lifetime, and has observed a few of their num- erous peculiarities, was talking one day on this subject. In the course of his conversation he said: "Watches,all joking aside, are really almost human, sometimes. They take cold readily. Never lay a watch on a cold marble table or near an open window at night, after you have worn it next to your warm body all day; it will contract a sort of pneumonia and ten to one it will stop before long if the practice is kept up. The cold contracts the metal pivots, which, as small as they are, must not he small- er, and they shrink. Thus the wheels cannot move. "Watches are magnetized too, by the persons who wear them. I have seen the statement that watches vary ,in time -keeping with the health of the wearer, and that, if changed from onto person to another, they will also show slight variations. All of that is true. The static electricity of a person may affect a watch. All of us throw this off, some more than others. Dark per- sons give oft more than light ones do, and a dark woman more than anyone else. Dark women should have rub- ber cases for their watches, if they wish to have them keep perfect time. "Never lay a watch flat at night, after it has been worn in a vertieal position all day. It throws it off its has so to speak. If the pivots be worn, it will not run level. "A watch should be fed or oiled every eighteen months, even if ruh- ning in the best of time. The oil dries in that' time, and the wheels are like- ly to wear one another. Wind your watch in the morning. No, not -at bedtime, .,bitee get irp ives it the full spiting to work on urine- the day, when the jars and olts are more numerous. And hold our watch still when you wind it, nd wind the key.", -Lookout. g a 4TtIURCRNEWS The Re,. II. W.

Annual Meeting. ---The annual con- gregational meeting of the Lucknow Presbyterian Church was held on Wed- nesday evening of last week. There was a good attendance and the meet- ing*was in every way successful. Mr. R. D. Cameron occupied the chair. The reports from the various organi- zations of the church were most en- couraging. The treasurer of the church reported larger receipts than in any previous year. Expenditures, of course, were larger also. Contri- butions to the missionary work were the largest in the history of the church for any one year. An increase of $200 was made in the minister's salary, bringing it up to $1,700 -per annum. In this connection the chair- man explained that the congregation had always paid $200 above the min- imum, and the increase was unani- mously agreed to. A.nnouncement was made that extensive alterations would be made in the basement of the church, the whole to be re -seated, thus greatly improving it for Sunday school work. Much inconvenience had been caused by the closing down of the electric light plant, but a Petri light system has been installed to serve until Hydro current is available.
