For the first time in many years the population of the town shows a slight decrease this being caused by the number of young men who have been called for, active military service, The .Late Prank Buchanan The funeral of the late Frank Buchanan, one of Wingham's most prominent and respected business men, was held from the Methodist church on " Thursday last, and was largely attended. Among ,those present to pay their last respects to their departed comrade were, Rev. Ben Spence, Toronto, representing the Dominion Al- liance, Mr. J. A, Austin Toronto, Domin. ion Councillor of the Royal Tempters, Mr C.'V. Emory, Hamilton and *Rev Mr: Kettlewell, Toronto, of the Royal Temp- ters of Temperance, and Mr. A. T. Coop- er, Clinton, secretary of the Huron County Temperance Association. All these gentlemen referred briefly to the excellent qualities of the deceased and tho great loss which the temeerance move- ment in this Dominion has suetained by his removal, although they believed he was well satisfied as he had lived to see his great work of prohibition accomplish- ed. Rev. Mr Armstrong 'conducted the funeral services and Rev. Mr. Dingman ledln prayer.' The floral tribute:, were numerous and beautiful, wreatlef were presented by the following; Royal Tempters Lodge No 114, Dominion Altiance, reorninion Council Rt T. of T4 Hamilton, Huron County Temp. erance Assoctetion, Social Service and Evangelism Coithci,i, Joint Boards of the Wingham Methodist Sunday.

We would ask for all our worker e to res double their diergy and • for others to come forward and. help. We. know that the men overeeas are doing their duty, therefore it is important that we do ours. .Continually and urgently conies the -call from the hospitals,. the mare; and the battle -tickle, and from the prisoners in Germany, are we -doing our duty if we heed not the call? The sewing and knit- ting must be kept up even during the warm Weather.

While there has been a reduction of thirty cents a ton on coal in -the United States, the summer price of stove, egg and nut COW hi, %agleam will remain the same as in the winter: $0.75 and $10 per ton. TM reason for the price remaining fixed, according to Mr. J. A. McLean, is that freight rates have been increaeed both in Canada and the United. Statee. On Thursday, he states, the Awerkan lines increased the rate on coal from "the mines to the Suspension Bridge by fifteen cents a ton, while in Canada an extra fifteen cents Ms been charged since March 20 last. These two increases nulfify the reduction at the mines for the summer months Lnder the new fuel regulations people who require more than six tons of coal are restricted to seventy per cent. of . their normal supply until such times as the reg- ulation is rescinded by the Fuel_ Controll- er This means that a person who ordin- arily burns ten tons of coal during the winter may only purchase seven at the present time. Persons t'ting 20 tons. may only stock up fourteen tons, and if the regulatams maintain throughout the year there may be many trying to secure the balance of a normal supply at the end of next wintea.' Dealers are advising their regular -custopters to secure the seventy per cent, they may purchase as -soon as possible. Those who use only six tons or less,may pat in their normal supply of fuel. Wingham -is tweeted in having excellent men in the coal business, while other towns nearby are paying $11.00 for a _cheap coal, we are getting Al coal at the same nt3 Toronto dealers are selling for.

Will you kindly permit me space for a foe w. ate re the food situation and more particulady the sugar scarcity. Whether we believe it or not the situation is serious Mr. Musgrove in his address the other evening proved that he had grasped con- ditions more clearly than most men. The problem of scarcity wants drastic hand, ling and will not be settled so long as inerehandizing conditions remain as they ate. All over the country Production and Conservation committees are being form- ed, and rightly so, but what about present supplies. Strike out the word conserv- ed° , and substitute the word divide, and I believe we will come Much nearer our true goal. Our friends in the Old Land are standing in the bread line waiting for enough to eat that their men in the trenches may be fed. ,Our alliee to the south are doling out sugar in email quantities while many ia Canada are thinking of summer sup,' rfiete The Rev, Mr, Armstrong in his masterly speech at the above mentioned meeting told it how much' sugar we would save by tailing so rouch less per day A much better way would be to have sugar divid- ed more equally. Let our patriotism be real and if it be so there will be no hoard- ing The working man's wife is hard . put to -day to get, anything else but immedi- ate necessities. While the dollar has shrunk considerably for all of its, some are harder bit than others. Let us there- fore divide up those things that are ecarce and give everyone a chance.

Sec advt. in next week's issue for particulars, A Blind Pig J. E. Stone, license inspector for South Essex, discovered a blind pig at Tenasse Meloche's farm at Armstrong, Ont. and received one of the surprises of hie life. Ading on some hint he and a couple of , detectives blew into Mr, Meloche's place„ knocked at the door And Walked in, telling - the surprised man that they understood he was running a blind pig. Mr. Meloche pleaded guilty to having one but not run- • ning it, and, leading the officials out the back door, he escorted them to the barn where he called the pigs up and readily Pointed out the animal which was as blind as a bat. There being no evidence . of any wrongdoing in this respect the in- spector and detectives gave him a clear , bill and departed.

Salt is'es essential to life as water hi a fish, and such being thecase, were we de- pending upon the tender mercies of the Wiliiatn Davies Co why then would . we die the plague stricken sheep.? Jut fancy, we have right in our midst one of the finest salt wells in the world, and an up-to-date salt block is humming away day and night continually, but yet the company running the same, absolutely refnees to sell a polled to any one in this district, from whence all this blessing Rowe. -Their good salt and their dirty ealt is all shipped away, they want all, all all, and then would look for more. At one time the farmers could get cheap salt for cattle at one half cent per pound, but now they can neither get cheap salt for their -cattle nor good salt for their butter, and now farmers . from the country and merchants in the town are just as far from salt as though it Were a hundred miles away. But sir, we have in -Wingham some splendid men, who have. the money to . spend and the brains to --plan, let.. them shoulder mins; present fire, by forming a joint stock company, and then either buy or lease from Mr. John -Elliott an acre of land immediately south of the present well, and then • build an up-to-date blockajust west of the C. P, R. track opposite the present William Davies Plant We have been told . that upon Mr. Elliott's farm there is an inexhaustible sup- ply of the purest brine, all that is needed to convert it into salt is a little capitol, energy and puela In our opinion, Mr Editor, we think an industry of this kind is of almost as much importance as tilling the soil, other wells near Winglaun have run dry -but here there is -enough and to spare, Will we let this precious treasure be dormant a few feet in the earth itt one great rock-bottcm mass.' Or will we bring it -to the. surface by • sinking the well and building the plant? . Respectfully yours Unate Josh.
