MUNICIPAL POLITICS.
Nomination meeting will be held in
the Town Hall next Monday evening.
If Wingham has a poor council for 1916
it will be the fault of the rate -payers in
not seeing that good business men are
nominated and stand election for the
various positions.
Women's Institute.
The regular Monthly Meeting of
the women's Institute was held in the
Council Chamber on Thursday afternoon
last, and made the following donations:
To the Salvation Army $5.00; Winghatn
General Hospital $5.00;yarn for soldiers'
socks,f5.00. The members of the Insti-
tute andfriends also made a present s ht of
$28.00 to a deserving case in town.
The Institute has still $60 in cash, which
will beused for patriotic purposes, The
Institutes of Ontario are to be congrat-
ulated for the excellent work they are
doing, and according to the Government
report, have done more for patriotic pur-
poses than any society in the province.
During the meeting the following let-
ter from France, in acknowledgement of
receiving a number of quilts at St.
Charles Hospital.was read: -
Pick out the very best men for the
1916 council. They will be needed.
The man that you know will render the
most eflicient service is the man to
vote for. It is service that counts these
days,
Concluding an article on the death of
Ald. Wickett, of Toronto, the Toronto
Saturday Night of last week says: -"The
pity of it is that we have not more busi-
ness men and students of his type,will-
sng to take up the actual burden of
public service. All year long they com-
plain of the inepitude of the "gang at
the City Hall," hut when it comes to
confronting the actual task of effecting
a change, they are smitten with fear—
fear of newspaper. jibes,of secret organ-
ization, of all the annoyances which
assail the candidate for municipal office.
But our affairs will never be greatly
improved until some of our abler citizens
who can afford to do so, develop a
stronger sense of publio duty."
YOUNG MEN WANTED
Major Richard Emmerton, of Kin-
cardine, writes from Belgium on Nov.
20th. ''We are in rest camp at present
and the boys are all fine except for a
slight cola due to the wet weather.
We go back to the trenches agnin to-
morrow; things are getting pretty live-
ly and the artillery are busy stirring
things up. We have all had a good
bath and clean underclothes. These
baths are run by the Division and are a
great comfort to the troops. The' mud
is fierce over here and we find it hard
to keep dry and warm but I guess we
can stand it as long as the Germans.
We get plenty of tobacco, except chew-
ing, and get good wholesome food, of
course at times we find it difficult to
get things into the trenches, so have to
make the best of things. We are only
about 90 feet above the sea level and
the drainage is not the best but I find
the Canadians are good at ditching and
can take care of. themselves pretty well
. . . I consider it the duty of every
young man to do his bit in this war, the
magnitude of which cannot be imagined
in Canada. What is required is men
between the ages of 20 and 30. I judge
from myself. Fifteen years ago I
could stand the conditions and
the weather much better than I
can now. There are many young
men who will be puzzled to find an ex-
cusefor staying at home. Well, I must
turn in as I shall need all the sleep I
get to carry me through this spell in
the trenches." •

Miss Struthers:—
Thanke for the sympathy which
you have and which you keen

Thanks again, in the name of the

the defenders of the provinces, who
will find in your thick quilts the re-
pose which they deserve, after
some long months of cruel suffering
and some days of bloody combat
against those German hordes,
which we will, cost what it may,
succeed in exterminating.
Have confidence in the final vic-
tory. We each work at our little
part without becoming tired, and
we shall soon plant on the enemy's
land, the symbol of triumph on
which will be written in letters of
gold, England, Belgium, Russia,

Rev. Dr. A. B. Baird, principal of
Manitoba College. who in all probabil-
ity will be moderator of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian church
when it meets in Winnipeg next June,
said today, the church union cause was
lost. Dr. Baird has been for manyyears
a most devoted advocate of this great
proposal, and deep regret when he an-
nounced the failure of the plan was ap-
parent. Dr. Baird said that so far as
Manitoba was concerned there was not
much difference of opinion. So far as
the vote has been taken in the Presby-
' tery cf Winnipeg. the result is about
Iten to one in, favor of the movement.
! In certain congregationsin this city the
vote is still in process of being taken
Some arrangement might be made
I
whereby a large measure of co.opery-
ration might be undertaken in the West,
but union, he said, was out of the clues -
!
tion The vote in the Maritime Prov-
! inces and in Ontario was, in so far as it
1had been taken, much less favorable
! than on the previous occasion, when
seventy per cant. was favorable. He
I believed that unquestionably there
would be a majority for union at the
present time, but it would be small,
aed under the circumstances no doubt
1 the entire project would be given up.

Scott's klmulsion contains pure cod liver
