Advertising rates on application. out Hi clis tran- PREPAYMENT QF TAXES Those who have the money are new allowed to pay up to 90% of their taxes at a saving of Is of 1% per month. This scheme is one that many take objection to on the grounds that it in no way aids the ordinary tax- ' yaypr. They are right that it dees not help those who cannot take advantage of this scheme but it helps those who can pay in advance and these citizens get the benefit instead of the town borrowing this money from the banks. In some municipalities this idea has worked out splendidly. In Listowel they have collected so far in January ^about $9000 and it has worked equally as well in Kincardine. Taxpayers of Wingham will -doubt also take advantage of this •count to a great extent. The prepay ment discount only applies up to the time the tax bills are issued, then the regular discount will be in force. We agree this was a wise move on the part of the Council but we be lieve that the sale of tax certificates is a much better scheme. In some •places these certificates are sold for •amounts as low as five dollars which -encourages almost all to participate, A taxpayer can at present pay any amount on his taxes and procure the discount on this amount, so that both schemes are practically the same. If you want to save on your tax bill, use the prepayment plan. :i: S;S ' TRANSIENTS During the last few months ■sients .have created a great deal of trouble in municipalities in this dis trict and no doubt ,the same can be said of other districts. They have turned in many cases to thieving and arc a pest in a great many other ways. But, despite the wrongdoings of these poor fellows, who are kept wandering from place to place, there is a sadness about it all. Last Thursday, one of these chaps was in town and we do not think for ■one moment he is the type mention ed above. He is now just 20 years of age and for three years he has Been travelling from place to place -ever looking for a job. His educa tion is such that there is little he can -do but he has the build of a rugby star. His father lost his job four years ago and has since passed on to The Great Beyond and, in an 'effort to be independent, he started out seeking employment. Everywhere he goes it is the same story, no work. He .has worked some in these few years but in a short time has to trav el on once more. HAUPTMANN’S FAMILY REJOICE With even the gleam of hope, fur- nished by Gov. Harold G. Hoffman’s jtCjSrieve of IJruiio Richard Haupt- ttiunn, a great crescendo of happiness It is a sad state of affairs. If we look the problem square in the face we can come to no other conclusion than that we are raising in Canada an army of hobos, called transients because of the times. It is not a very healthy condition and one sometimes wonders that these men of the road arc as peaceful and law-abiding as they are. Many, however, go wrong and more will as time goes by if something is not done to stop this tribe of young men from wandering. $ * * * WOMEN IN POLITICS Mrs. D. D, Mooney, of Goderich, was last week elected Chairman of the Goderich Public School Board, Many old timers feel that women taking tlieix- place in municipal affairs is a backward step. We cannot agree with I them. In every municipality there are women of outstanding ability and we can see no reason why these women should not seek 'office. For a long number of years after Agnes Macphail was elected to Par liament people scoffed at the idea of a woman sitting in the House but we believe, leaving politics out of the question, that Miss Macphail holds the respect and admiration of the ma jority of the people of Canada. She is also well thought of in many oth er countries where she has become known. At present she is on a tour giving speeches in the United States The women’s sphere is the home, and it should come first, but we feel that they also could serve a most use ful purpose" in municipal politics if they so desired. They are doing so in a great many places with distinc tion. J,; INCOME TAX j In a frantic effort to raise more money for the, provincial treasury the government have decided to tax in comes for that purpose. No tax is popular, but if money has to be rais ed, we feel that this method is as fair a way as can be found. The people who can afford to pay arc the ones affected and those who cannot, are not further bundened. People who are taxable under this system will, no doubt, raise great ob jections and we cannot wonder, as our people are taxed almost to the limit at present. There is no use, however, of the government trying to' get money from those who do possess it. not HURONS GREAT DESPITE DEFEAT Hard-Pressed Colts Eke Out 3-2 Win Over Struggling Tribe. The old losing jinx still enveloped tli local hockey team after Friday night’s game in the Arena, but the Hurons had the highly-rated Clinton Colts in a frenzy of anxiety before Jhe viistors finally skated off with a ■3-2 win. It was the thirteenth con secutive loss for the labouring Hur ons but none of the small crowd pre sent Friday night had anything but praise for the game the locals put up. PI K is felt by Mrs, Anna Hauptmann. She had already given up all hope. Mrs, Hauptmann Is kissing her son, Man- nfried at Trenton, N.J, Very rarely did the Tribe let the Colts catch them out of position, a department the Braves have been .singularly weak in hitherto. Only one goal, the winning one, unfortunately, could be traced to poor covering. With the wingmen back-checking like a bunch of inspired demons, the Huron defence, minus the services of “Mike" Goetz, who is ill with the flu, played a much imvroved game, both in body-checking and clearing, Bert Mitchell again was a stand-out on rear-guard, the Colts being quite content to shoot from far out rather than run into “Porky” who neverthe less plays a clean game. Zulauf play ed a great game in the Huron, nets, clearing 32 shots and having no chance on two of the goals. Elliott and McDonald were perhaps the pick of the front line troops with Harold Mitchell playing a good defensive centre. The Colts didn’t show up near as well on the larger ice, especially with the Huron wings playing beautifully. Ross McEwen, Holmes, Rath and McKay looked pretty good but*the .line of Pickett, Streets and Gibbs weren’t going places as fast as usual and seemed to be pretty peeved about it as the game drew to a close. The game was quite fast and also quite clean, Muir having no trouble with the players. Although outshot by a small margin the Hurons had. a slight edge on the scoring chances during the first per iod and skated off with the only goal of the period. Play reached almost sensational heights at times, the de fense of both teams having a hard time to connect with the flying for wards. Play had reached the sixteen minute mark before BUI McDonald opened up the scoring for the night. Bill picked up a loose puck near the' Braves blue line and outskating his check let loose a terrific drive from the right boards that beat Doak all the way-. The fans present gave the locals a great hand as they skated off at the end' of the period, ahead for the first time in many moons. Things were reversed in the second session, the Colts having a distinct margin of the play although one of their goals was of the lucky type. Red Rath tied the score up some three minutes after play began in the per iod, his long shot from centre ice hopping Lome’s stick and trickling a scant two inchehs over the line, It . was a tough break for the little goal ie who turned in a great game except for this one shot. Play grew more spirited as both- defenses commenced to lay on the body, Pickgtt ..and»El liott going off almost together for tripping opponents. No damage re sulted in either case. The Colts’ sec ond goal came 'on a nice effort by McKay who broke up a Huron rush, shot from well out and then rounded the Hurons’ 'defenie to pick up his own rebound and beat Zulauf clean ly. The Braves could do little to ev en jt up in the few minutes remain ing in the period. Play had barely started in the third period when Elliott and Browne com bined for the nicest goal of the night, a double pass ending .up behind Doak, Elliott providing the finishing touch, This drew a tremendoos ovation from the now greatly enlarged crowd (via the open door). The Hurons tried hard to get ahead of the Colts but the break, as usual, came the other way. Somers, picking up the loose puck attempted to clear the puck be hind the net to one of his mates, but Rath pounced on the disk and shot a pass to the uncovered Punch McEwen who made no mistake and lost no time in parking the rubber behind Zulauf. The .Braves increased the pressure, outshooting the Colts 12 to 10 but some fine work by Doak frus trated any further scoring by the Tribe. Although forced to take the small end of the score for the ump teenth time, the boys felt well pleas ed in turning in such a good game against such stern opposition.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESUS DECLARES HIS PUR POSE. Sunday, Jan. 26—Luke 4: 16-44. Golden Text. , The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath annointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke, 4:18, 19.) When the Lord Jesus Christ- de clared His purpose, that He had come to bring good news to all who need ed what' He alone could do for them, was He welcomed and trusted and loved by all? We sometimes hear it said that, if Christ came again to earth, He would be received and hon ored by every • one. The facts are against any such -rosy but ignorant optimism. Human nature has not changed in nineteen centuries. After a very wonderful address by the Son of God in His own town, Nazareth, the entire synagogue congregation to whom He spoke was so enraged that, “filled with wrath,” they “rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him unto the brow of the hill, where on their city was built* that they might cast Him down headlong.” Yet, many who heard Christ did be lieve in Him, and receive Him, and follow Him in full and unquestioning faith. There ate the two classes to day; Some become believers and fol lowers; some turn against Christ in bitter hatred.;. People in Nazareth had known the boy Jesus as He lived ^nd worked there and grew up; and one day, af ter he had begun His public minis try in other parts of Galilee, He came back to this home town. Going to the Synagogue oft the Sabbath day, as His custom was. He “stood up for to read.111 They handed Him the book of Isaiah, and He opened to what is chapter 61 in our Bible today- He read aloud the words, of the Golden Text given above. It was Christ’s declaration of the purpose of His coming to earth from Heaven, •'"He must have read those in spired words with thrilling power, For as “He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down,” we read that “the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.” What would He say next? The as tounding statement came from His lips: “This day is this Scripture ful filled in your ears," Seven centuries earlier one of the greatest prophets in all the history of Israel, Isaiah, had uttered a prophetic statement, and Jesus Christ, the boy and man who had been brought up in Nazareth, was daring to tell the peo ple that Isaiah’s words referred to Himself, and that the wonderful things predicted by the Old Testa ment prophet were fulfilled before their eyes, His hearers could not deny the power of the man who was speaking to them, and “the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth,” But they could not understand, and they did • ngt believe. We can hear the hum of excited conversation, in whispers or louder/as .people began to ask each other, “Is not this Jo seph’s son?” What right had He to make any such presumptuous claims for Himself? No, this was not Joseph’s son. The man who spoke to them had no hu man father: He was God’s Son, as no created man has ever been. t His divine wisdom and omniscience were evidenced by the fact that, as has often been pointed out, when He quoted Isaiah 61: 1,2, He broke off His quotation at a comma and stop ped in the middle of a verse. Turn ing back to Isaiah, we find there the words: “To proclaim' the acceptable year of the Lord, and, the day of ven geance of our God.” Christ in the synagogue at Nazareth proclaimed “The acceptable year pf the Lord,” and, His lips were sealed about “the day of vengeance of our God.” Why? Because the day of God’s vengeance, or judgment upon a Christ-rejecting world, did not come at Christ’s first coming to the earth, nor has it yet come during the nine teen centuries since then; it will come only at the time of the second com ing of Christ. He came the first time in grace; He will come the second time in judgment. Isaiah, as in other Old 'Testament prophecies, makes statements about the coming of the Lord without distinguishing between the first coming and the second; both ar etrue, but not until the New Testa ment was given and completed by the Holy Spirit could men understand these “mysteries,” once hidden but now revealed. Then, as the incredulous question ing went on in the Nazareth congre gation, the divine speaker, who had started it by His unique and unex pected address, explained it. “No pro phet is accepted in his own country,” He said. He went on to explain that God necessarily liitiits His blessings and His mighty workings to those who He knows are ready to,believ.e and trust Him. There were many widows in Israel, Christ, said,, at the time af the great famine, when Elijah lived and worked, but he was sent to only one. There were many lepers at the time of Elijah, “and pone of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syr ian.” Chrisf'had been worked many mir acles in Capernaum, not far away, and in other parts of Galilee; why did He not work miracles there in Nazareth, was the challenge. The question was answered at the time of His second visit to Nazareth: “And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” (Matt. 13:^8.) Enraged when they heard the truth about themselves, the men of Nazar eth tried to murder Christ then and there. They*could not harm a hair of His head until His time came ,when He would voluntarily lay down His life. So “He,' pacing through the midst of them, went His way,” A miracle-disappearance? Undoubtedly. Do we want to see Christ’s miracles pf power * in our own life? Do we want to know the real meaning of His Gospel?’ Then we must acknowledge that we need Him, that we are among those to whom He came to preach the Gospel—poor, broken-hearted, cap tive, blind, bruised. If we ate not Spiritually in that class there is np Gospel for us. For He said: “I came not to call the righteous, but Sinners to repentaftce.” (Luke 5.32.)
