She was deeply troubled and injured woman, and we hear her saying: "Oh cruel one, you have injured the very foundation of my being!

The Canada Registration Board has been created for the purpose of car- Tying out the ',registration of the man and woman power of Canada, in order that the information so ob- tained may be *utilized to proceed with the, mobilization of the entire resources ofthe nation towards the successful prosecution of the war. Data of military value will be secur-. CUT DOWN JURIES ed, but the main purpose to be sere- fede by this Census- all males and TO HELP FARMERS females over iG years of age will undoubtedly be the better distribu- tion of agrieultural . aiid industrial THE GLORIOUS 24TH Old Times '' Have Passed AWay,. and Day was Quietly Spent in Town. Victoria Daywas quietly spent in town,. Those not going ito Bayfield or fishipg spent the 'most of the day fIs flxi•ng up the home gardens,- lawns, etc. The afternoon the • baseball match' between the G, T, R,, team of Strat- ford'end Doherty's team, entertained a few, while the; bowling green had 6 members on the green—quite a:change from other years, inthe evening the Children's -,Can- tata "Queen of the May'; drew a pack- ed acked house, • labor to the end of securing the nnaxium results from the productive labour of the Canadian people—es- pecially as regards the essentials of, the war. One of the most beneficial results which it is expected Will follow the Census will be a more efficient organization of the agricultural forces of the country, becoming ..daily more imperative in view of the.constantly diminishing food reserves of the En- tente Allies, and the ineuiinence of a food shortage which threatens our own civilian population.. "Registration Day," the date of which has been fixed for Sat- urday June 22nd, will give ev every Canadian affected by the law an opportunity to perform the great na- ional duty of citizenship. THe reg- istrar for South Huron,' A. J. Grigg, is appointing deputy regis- trars and assistant deputy registrars in sufficient numbers to register the entire population. Registration of- fices or booths will be opened in conveniently situated locations, in schools, halls, etc., in every munici- pality, and certificates of registra- tion will be issued to every regis- trant. in order to facilitate this gigantic task, school boards and teachers, are invited to assist the registration officials In every possible manner by providing free of charge suitable building such as school houses, etc., and by furnishing volunteer helpers, who may assign their remuneration to the Red 'Cross if desired, to do the clerical work. The registration offices will be kept open from 7 a. ns. to 10 p, m., hence the necessity of providing lig:Minr; facilities for the registration places. While non -registration entails many penalties of the most serious char- acter, it is expected that the Can- adian people will look upon regis- tration as a great national duty to be performed, nut but of a sense of compulsion, but rather in a spirit ot patriotism, and as an net of encour- agement to our gallant overseas de- fenders. The registration of the nsan and women power of Canada will go forth to the world as the solemn expression of Canada's unalterable determination to support her own and the allied armies until the final victory, The few minutes required for regis- tration, for the pile day's salary donated by the willing workers, will be a small sacrifice indeed compared to those now being made by Can- adian manhood in the forfrdnt of the battle line. Yet it will be of inestimable value in maintaining the splendid morale of our unsurpassed. citizen soldiers to know that those for whom they are fighting on tite fields :. and Flanders are e of Prance not recreant to the sdlenm duty of the hour in their beloved Canada. That duty calls for the . exercise of every generous and high resolve in all the avocations of a spiritual peo- ple whose very existence as a peo- ple, and whose great heritage is in- volved in the issue of the struggle, For the purpose ofregistration the Riding of South Huron for the Dom- inion House has been divided into school sections using the school houses where possible as the place of registration. It is particularly desirable that clergymen of all denominations, Pat - riotic Societies, school teacheis• ag- riculturalists -riculturalists and anembers of other professions,'journalists, captains of industry, members of ,cou'n'cils, in short ell those who'by reason of their professionail. or social • position Wield great influence,. should make known the requirements aed the purpose of registration, in order, that no , false conception ,of its lin- port may gain ground, ,or jeopardise its -success, Let our• message from, this,. Riding on Registration' Day be one of sym- pathy:autd steadfast. purpose to our soldiers at -the font ; 'un common with the rest of Canada let' our :insurer to the calls of'tli°e„Registra- tion Board be the citcion voice of an united people, conscious of the justice of its cause and :animated by a. common determination' to,do all' in its power to have that cause'previal.

The request, applies of course, only to cases of a nature that may be tried either by a jury or by a judge, as crim- inal . cases would naturally be tried in the ordinary way. It is therefore more or less a matter for the legal profes- sion to arrange the cases as much as possible along this line, As far as Huron County is concern- ed the order will not make much dif- ference as there are few jury' cases at Goderich, 31 DISTRICT NEWS +1.

" 7 hat we, the Liberals of Cenrte tluron in annual meeting assembled, ,hereby place on record our entire disapproval of the course pursued by our present representative, !1r, Wan. Proudfoot, M. P. P„ not only during the recent Federal election campaign, but as well, if press re- ports are correct, in his speech dur- ing the discussion of the Address at the opening of the recent session of the Ontario Legislature; his re- mark upon that occasion that "the results of the recent election con• test showed that the people at home were prepared to hack up the boys St the front" is equivalent to saying that every elector who did not,sup- port the so-called Union Govern- ment is a rebel, and is a direct in- sult to every supporter of Sir Wil- frid Laurier, That we are not in favor of the extension of Parlia- ment and the compact made in re- gard to bye -elections. As tree Lib- erals we highly approve,of the mani- festo issued to the Canadian people by our great Leader as being not only the right policy for 'Canadians to adopt in order to enable Canada to do its best in the further pro- secution of the war and keep its people united, but also to secure the futherance of those great Liberal principals which he has so bril- liantly championed throughout the long course of his public, life."
