The regular meeting of the W.C.- T.U. was held in James St. United church on May 26tli with ten.mem­ bers present and Miss Mui’ray pre­ siding. In the absence of the Evan­ gelistic superintendent Miss Murray conducted the devotional service. Two helpful hymns were sung, .sev­ eral members led in prayer and the lesson was taken from John 15. The minutes of the last meeting were read and dopted. The Treasurer gave a very encouraging report of the amount of money on hand, and it was moved that the amount con­ tributed to the Budget Fund be $2 per member. It was cecided that, an effort be made to bring in as many members as possible and Mrs. Jaques was appointed an outpost tor Elimville to look up members. Mrs. Christie for her district, Mrs. Beav­ ers , for Centralia and Miss Murray for the Thames Road.

In all reform in society truth is our one great weapon of defence and advance. Let us turn the searchlight of trutn upon the great experiment of Prohibition that is being tried out in the neigh­ bor state south of us. We are con­ stantly being told in newspapers an'd -magazines that Prohibition is a failure, but does this look like it?

One firecracker Was thrown onto a car with the result that the top was burned through.

' • t • And then about the wool crop—has it made you rich this seas­ on? It seems queer that the waving of fashion’s magic wand should be allowed to* ruin -a great industry. Yet that Is precisely what fashion has nearly done with thfe wool trade. Twenty years ago folk wore a great deal of woll.en garments. It was a sign of luxury for silk to be worn as an urnlie. Now the person, wearing woollen garments is considered as being either poor or a bit stingy. In those good old days one could get a very satisfactory pair of stock­ ings for* fifty cents. Nowadays, if one is to be at all up-to-date, his purse groans when the hosiery needs are being considered. The result is that the Australian farmers and the. New Zealand farmers are cutting their sheep farms in two and the Canadian farmer con­ siders himself lucky to get ten cents per pound for- liis wool. Fa­ shion has done it.
