BEN ONA AND THE
CHRISTMAS CAROL
• The above is the title. of a small
book of poems published recently by
the well known Canadian writer, H.
Isabel Graham, of Seaforth.
:In hi address before the Empire 1. d
Canadian Clubs in Toronto on Tuesday,
Lord Beseborough, Governor General of
Canada, said that no Nation or Empire,
regardless of its national resourcee
or other great attributes, had ever
become truly great withuut the de-
velopment of its cultural side.
He reminded his audience that the
distinction in history of the ancient
Greeian Empire arose through its
architecture and its eloquence; 'th,
Roman EmpireYthrough its laws, and
that England's greatness had been
made immortal through her Shake
spare and her Milton.
Canada k a young nation among
nations, but we, too, have some writ-
ers and authors of rage merit an
distinction, and arnoeg them is H
Isabel Graham, whose talent is evet
more gene -ally recognized across
Canada, than 4 with us.
Seaforth is Miss Graham's home
and it should be Freud of that fact.
Some day, perhaps, it may owe its
place in history to that distinction.
Ben Ona and the Christmas Carol
is a email volume, but very, very well
worth reading and, should be in every
home.
snow, coal and underclothes and OVer-
coats a- J overShoes, and a lot of

it would or could be otherwise?
And, after all, it is better so. Our
winters are not harmful, but health-
ful. They put-ia zip into life and a
zip into business and we need both
after a year of pessimism.
Sure winter will come. If what we
have now is not the real thing, don't

WILL WINTER COME?
That is a question that has been
agitating the minds of many people
besides the weather prophets for some
weeks past.
Well, that question has been settled
and settled as it always has been, so
far as this district and county'. has
been concerned. Winter will come.
In fact, it is already here, or what is
a very real imitation of it.
Weather prophets have been pre-
dicting a very open winter—no winter
at all, in fact, and old timers have
been drawing on their memory or
their imagination to verify the pre-
dictions of the weather prophets.
And the weather has been so fine
for so many weeks and so many
months that we began to lien to the
soothsayers'. We are beginning to put
winter into the back of our minds or

1 people pretty well. I knew of a home
where there was a new baby boy about
two weeks old and the father died
this spring, The mother now has five
little ones, ranging from new baby
'to seven years, none of them started
to school, The .mother is clean,
t1dlr, thrifty woman. She lives out in
the country and was left without ay -
thing, only I believe she is to get a
widow'S allowance from the Govern-
ment. We are in a crop failure dis-
trict. Grain prices are very low, als
butter and eggs were but have gone
up to 25 cents; flour is going up fast•
We received a quantity of second-
hand clothing which (speaking for
the people) we were very glad to get.
November llth being a holiday in
the schools, mothers took the oppor-
tunity to bring their children in to be
fitted out—some very sad cases. I
was so busy that day I scarcely had
time to eat my meals, but I didn't
mind. I was so thankful to be able
to give them warm clothes. It's a
work I love and wish I was only free
to spend all my time on it, but I do
all my own housework and have four
children. We have quilted ten quilts,
most of them done in my house, some
I pieced myself, to be given away. A
carload of eats came to some dis-
tricts, but not here. 'We were hoping
we would get one. I came from On-
tario myself, but I never heard of
these towns westward and Brucefield,
where these parcels of good came'
from. 1 was wishing soine of the
ladies or people that sent these clothes
would have stint their names, so I
could have written back and thank
them. Yours is the only name I
found, so if you have an opportunity
to let these people know, please 10 so.
We have had beautiful weather till
to -day. It is raw and cold. We have
had no rain all fall and no snow so
far. Water is very scarce in the
country. Thanking you once more,
I remain, Yours truly, Mrs. Isabella
Munro, W. M, Society Relief Supply

well, but nothing was thought of it.
She attended church on Sunday morn-

with a severe attack of appendicitis
and was rushed immediately to the
hospital by Dr. G. R. Collyer, and an
operation was performed. Upon op-

pendix had riiptured. Although Mrs.
Smith's condition was considered ser-
ious from the first, the doctors thought
';ht might pull through, but unavoid-
able complications arose. She failed
to withstand the ordeal. Mrs. Smith's
