The snowstorm on Sunday evening had a bad effect on the Upper Canada Bible Society's ;annual meeting, at least as far as attendance was concern- ed. The Methodit Church was very poorly attended and the service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Croly of St. Paul's Anglican. Dr. Irwin conducted the business part of the meeting, and in a short addreps made an appeal for the support and co-operation of the town. The Secretary, Mr. John Ritchie read the annujil report and financial statement, and also the nominations for the various' offices for the ensuing year. On the; motion of Mr. Lloyd, seconded by Mr. Isard, the report was adopted as read and the officers elected as recommended by the executive. Rev. Mr. Hibbert in a short address told of the work of the Bible Society, and pointed otjt that in Canada alone the Bible was:printed in 130 different languages and'dialects. The Bible was printed in double column style with the English version in one column and in the parallel column the language de- sired was used, no comment or doctri- nial explanation whatever being found in these Bibles. He told of the eager- ness with which the light was being sought:by the foreigners who were com- ing to our country and urged on all the need of their hearty support at all times. The Bibles were sold at a financial loss to the Bible ;Society, as it was their aim to place it within reach of the poor- est. Rev. Mr. Perrie, in a short address, spoke of the history of the Bible, and the divine purpose of the book, which was the revelation of God. He pointed out theLinaccuraeies which were eagerly seized upon by unbelievers as proof of the lack of Divine inspiration and said that these did not detract one bit from the purpose of the book. He told how the councils of the church of the Refor- mation had tested the various books of the older Bible and accepted or rejected according as they measured up to a certain standard. He urged upon all the need of a greater study of the Divine Word and closed with a few remarks on the great work of the Bible Society in seeking to scatter the seed of a broader Christianity among the nations of the world. The Methodist Church choir, augmented by a few singers from the other churches, sang two of Turners' beautiful anthems "At Even Ere the Sun was set" and "Sun of My Soul," the solos being taken by the choir members. Miss May Pattison and Miss Mable Pender have consented to canvas the town in the interests of the Bible Society. Donations to Hospital. Dr. Irwin, Treasurer of the General Hospital, wishes to acknowledge the following sums so kindly donated to- wards the hospital expenses: Mr. J. C. Currie, $25; Mr. J. R. Smith, $10; Mr. Theo. Hall (re McCloy Patents), $6.07. Hockey Club Re -Organized.' At a meeting held in the Council Chamber on Monday evening, the Wing - ham Hockey Club was re -organized for the coming season.

A concert will be held in the near future under the aus- pices of the club and the proceeds will be used in procuring new suits for the players. First $now Storm. Western Ontario's first snow storm of the season, which swept over this district from the northwest on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, left a trail of stalled and late trains, broken telegraph wires. It was the worst storm for so early in the season that this district has experienced in many years. The roads were so soft and muddyfrom the recent rains and there being very light frost, vehicular traffic has been very heavy. The first two days of this week both wheeled and runner vehicles were in use, The telephone and telegraph service out of Wingham was very little affected, but trains were more or less behind scheduled time, Read about Derby Shoes on last page. The best that is WILLIS & CO Epworth Leagjie Nominations. The Epworth League of the Wing - ham Methodist Church purpose holding a contest for tt}e offices of Mayor, Reeve and Couniiillors which promises to be a very inter' sting event. At the regtilar meeting , ext Monday evening the nomination f candidates for the various positlone will be held. The election will talc place at the regular meeting on Monday evening, December 15th, Died in\dmonton. Word was receved last week that Mr. Bert Sander4on, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sanderson, of this town, was dangerously ill with typhoid fever at Edmonton, Al.Mrs. Sanderson left on the afterno n train on Friday for the west, but ,4n Saturday after- noon a message was received saying the young man had passed away. Mrs. Sanderson was communicated with and left Winnipeg to eeturn home. The young man's remain are being brought home for interment. The deceased left Wingham some thr a years ago for California and later .ent to Edmonton 3 He was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. His bereaved parents, brothers and sisters will have the sin- cere sympathy of many friends in their time of bereavement. PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD The regular monthly meeting of the Public School Board was held on Tues- day evening with all members present except Trustee Awde, Chairman Tipling presided. Minutes of previous meeting were read and approved. The Principal's report for October was read and was adopted on motion of Trustees Holmes and Robertson. Accounts were read from W. J. Boyce work and material, $5.15; J. W. Dodd, lauudry, 40c: Colin Eadie, cedar, $1. On motion of Trustees Irwin and Camp- bell the accounts were ordered to be paid. Miss Bentley requested an increase of salary. The Committee on salaries recom- mended that the maximum be raised to $550 per year and that the increase be at the rate of $25 per year as formerly. The report of the committee was adopt- ed on motion of Trustees Allen and Campbell. The salaries of teachers and caretaker were ordered to be paid on motion of Trustees Holmes and Irwin. Mr. A. L. Posliff was appointed a member of the Public Library Board on motion of Trustees Campbell and Isard. Temperance Act Vote. Some days ago it was announced from Ottawa that voting on the Canada temperance act wquld take place in Welland, Peel and Huron counties on the 2•1th inst. The temperance interests were officially notified that this date was definite and set about completing their plans for the campaign, A sur- prise was sprung by the Ottawa Gov- ernment Monday, in the announcement that the date had been changed and that voting would not take place until January 29th. Active temperanee workers are very much disappointed in this change of date, as it effects the time at which the act would come in effect should the vote be favorable. Had the vote been taken on the 24th inst, and a favorable vote secured, no licenses would issue after May 1st, 1914, but the change of voting date will not allow the new act, if passed by the people, to come into effect until the 1st of May, 1915. Found a Spider in His Paper. When Mark Twain, in his early days, was editor of a Missouri paper, a super- stitious subscriber wrote to him saying that he had found a spider in his paper, and asking him whether that was a sign of good luck or bad. The humorist wrote him this answer and printed it: "Old Subseriber,—Finding a spider in your paper was neither good luck nor bad luck for you, The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which merchant is not advertising. s0 than he can go to that store, spin his web across the door. and lead a life of undisturbed peace ever afterward."

The Huron County Conference, under the United Missionary Campaign now being conducted at various centres throughout the Province, was held in Goderich on Friday and was most suc- cessful not only in attendance but from the enthusiasm which was shown on all sides. From all parts of the county came clergymen and lay delegates of the several denominations to the num- ber of about two hundred. The morning session was held in North Street Methodist Church, at which Rev. C. Manning, Toronto; Rev. C. E. Jea- kine, Clinton; Rev. H. M. Langford, Listowel, and the local pastor took the topics.

Hand t0 Mouth. So many blow in every penny, and when the rainy day is here they're needing coin, but haven't any, and so they shed the scalding tear. "Big business grinds the poor men's faces,'' I've heard them murmur once or twice: "Our Government a rank d'sgr.:ce is, when worthy men can't raise the price. The rich men, by their chauffeurs driven, regard the poor with haughty glance; the poor may have a show in heaven—on earth they surely have no chance." The poor man has his chance, however; it's better now than e'er before, unless the fruits of his endeavor he blows in wildly at the store; unless he burns his hard-earned wages the quickest way that he knows how, he never had, in all the ages, a better chance than he has now. When luck is good and skies are sunny, and well- paid jobs are running loose, a man should salt away his money where it will keep for winter use. However small the sum he pickles, 'twill cheer him when he's unemployed; I'd rather have a dozen nickels than nothing but an aching void. WALT. MASON. Coffee is a fairly good air -purifier, and a little burnt on hot coals will puri- fy a sick -room and absorb bad smells. When driving a nail through a plas- ter wall. dip it in hot water first. This will prevent it from breaking away the wall. Uruguay's imports from the United States for the first eleven months of 19I3 reached the record suns of $6,776,- 000, while the previous year they totalled only $5,953,313, also a record year. Synthetic chemists have succeeded in producing a substance from milk that resembles ivory. It can be used for all purposes that ivory can be used and has the two advantages of cheapness and holding its color instead of turning yellow with age as real ivory does.

It is necessary to find out, for at the famous National Dairy Show held ?n Chicago the last week in October, the authorities had gathered nine de- monstration cows to prove for one thing how easy it is to lose good money feeding poor cows. All feed was weighed, all the milk was weighed and tested, the results of each day were placarded in bold figures above each cow. These two furnish the extremes for one day. A 7 -year-old grade Jersey consuming 21 cents worth of feed pro- duced only I3 cents worth of fat. This means that she incurred a loss of 8 cents for that day, that the feed cost of one pound of fat was 52 cents, that the feed cost of 100 lbs. of milk was $2.53, and that for every dollar's worth of feed given to her she yielded only 02 cents worth of product. Close to her was a 7 -year-old grade Guernsey that on the same day con- sumed only 26 cents worth of feed; but notice what she did with it. She pro- duced two and a quarter pounds of fat worth 70 cents showing therefrom a pro- fit of 53 cents. Her pound of fat cost under 11 cents to produce, while every dollar's worth of feed gave three dollars' worth of product. It has been demonstrated to Canadian farmers over and over again that similar conditions existin each province. Just as soon as the keeping of dairy records becomes general, the profits from feed- ing eows may be expected to increase rapidly. Tho Dairy Division, Ottawa, gladly supplies feed record forms and a herd recordbook; apply for them to -day, and make sure, by systematic records, that each cow in your herd makes a good profit on her year's work.
