The v,.lue of
Saving
All su.c essFtal men began by saving,
Later, perhaps, they invested, but they
first had to accumulate capital.
The first step towards wealth is to
open a Savings Account. The second
is to save regularly.
Come in and ask about our simple,
convenient Savings Accounts. Interest
compounded every six months soon
amounts up.

1 Does it Pay to Paint
amatelseetratematerimust
With the present price of lumber good Paint is by far the
cheaper of the two, You protect your crop against hail by in-
euranee ; you protect yourself against loss by insuring your
house against lire. Why not protect the same house from the
influences of the elements of nature by giving it a coat of two
• of Paint ? It is a very good investment to -day, even if Paint
does cost more than ib used to. We pantile

The following address was read by
the chairman :—Brothers 1 for by that
endearing name we are privileged to
he hailed, and remember. that Record-
ing to our principles it should be from
the heart not the lips.
Weare here to -night to do honor to
you who appear before us ae Veteran
Oddfellows that is those who
for 25 years have been mem-
bers in good standing in the Order, as-
sisting to teach and practice the
principles that we love so much.
You have travelled the road that
goes down to Jericho and been taught,
and assisted to teach other's, that
memorable lesson of Charity, as il-
lustrated in the story of the Good
Samaritan, a lessnn that all true Odd-
fellows should practice, in feet the
world at large, remembering that
maxim that "it is more blessed to give
than to receive,"
You have also been taught to prac-
tice what closet folio Charity,and
known as Brotherlywe ove, as ught
in theet or
of Jonathan
au
d David
Y
which is Love wider than from one
0ddfellow to another to others those
outside of our lodge room, in fact to
all humanity.
Those teachings have brought you
and all of us up to that cardinal prin-
ciple of our Order which we call Truth
and which is taught by the Scarlet
Degree, remembering that an Odd -
fellow, or all mankind, Who is with-
out Truth is not worthy of being cal-
led either an Oddfeilow or a man.
Some of you have even gone further
in Oddfellowsbip and been taught
that grand moral precept that has
been taught ever since the world be-
gan, taught in our churches, our
schools, out homes and in
0ddfellow-
shtp. for it c

as the Golden Rule, which
is the
foundation stone of all society, let it,

Mtge.
We, throng's those teachings, have
looked (Simard n:•t dtotheCir
no when they
would be practiced by the civilized
world and that war should he no
snore, Mit during the last 'few years
We have hada rude awakening I.hat,
made us doubt the teaehing of our
Order, for remember our Order
flourishes in Germany as well
as here, and for' that breach of those
immortal teachings wo have only to
look around to see the results of that
breach which will be with tis long
after the greater number of us Will
have a - :u :tttc. t r , tsiteet Beyond.
F1 MN this rte .re taught that at1
O00fellowe and all men should be
more aesiduuus in both ptaoticingand,

believing as we have done tktat when
practiced by all then and (poly then
will war be no (prove, Remember it
is only by the practice of such
principles and not by militarism

The annual meeting of the Huron
is County Temperance Association was
1 held in Seafot th ou Wedtr'esday after-
s noon and evening of last week and
was well attended, nearly all parts of
the County being represented. The
principal speaker at both sessions was
I Ear, A. D. Grant, D, D., chief execu-
tive officer of the Provincial Referen-
dum Committee. Dr. Grant explain-
ed the plan of campaign of the Cen-
tral organization, Dr. Grant stated
that to save the Government the ex-
pellee of making new voters' lists,
which would cost about half a million
dollars they had agreed to accept the
old lists nn which he said "we secured
an overwhelming cnnjoeity last Octo-
ber, and should increase in this year."
The speaker also pointed out the im-
mense saving to the Temperance
forces in this regard, as it did away
with the necessity of providing a force
of secretaries to check registration,
neutral Referendum Committee
have planned a shot•[, intense cam-
paign which will be largely cotiflntd
to a period of 4 tort weeks before the
aetual voting, They felt, it was not,
necessary now to educate the people
on the advantages of Prohibition, but

There is a feeling prevalent in enure

not want to have our majority pulled

committees will add the necessary
80108 to carry on their work, thus
making one call for funds from the
people interested in temperance. The
local bodies will then turn over their
share to the Oentral organization.
