by this kindnessof her friends, and says:
"I thank each one who so kindly contrib-
uted, and I am sure the patients who are
enjoying what you have done for them
will appreciate it, as they have in the past.
When I mentioned this generous gift they
all all exclaimed: "Well, isn't it great to
have such people home, who have done so
much, and they still come again, at the
last gap of the war. Miss Dulmage is a
'former Wingham citizen being a daughter
of the late John Dulmage, formerly prop-

A Mean Thief
A Canadian soldier, still young in years,
boarded the Perth local at the city of
Montreal on Tuesday afternoon for his
home somewhere along the line on this
side of the big city. He was going home
to mother, with a new club bag filled with
Christmas gifts, and, having associated
with real men and women for some time
at the front, he left his property un-
guarded. When he went to get it, he
found someone had stolen it. There is no
use calling g the thief any hard names, but
retribution will overtake him some day
sure. And it is also a safe bet that the
welcome his mother extended to the boy
to
helped smooth di in

WJRNi;Y IS MAYOR
And IMhister Is Reeve of Wingham
for 1910
Considerable interest was manifested in
the municipal elections for mayor and
reeve of Wingham on Monday. Most of
people s '
weresatisfied that Gurney would
be elected mayor by a good majority but
because of the uncertainty of •a three -cor-
nered contest it was a gamble which one
of the reeves would be elected.

Mr. Gurney, the newly -elected mayor,
was born in Acton forty years ago. He
came to Wingham twelve years ago and
started a glove manufacturing business
which he has continued ever since, now on
a much larger scale than when he com-
menced business here. About ten years
ago his factory was burned down and he
was compelled to start over again. He
moved into the brick building on Victoria
St. and although he was offered assistance
from the town, he chose the independent
way and forged gradually ahead until two
years ago he purchased the Kent block,
which he has remodelled and is now doing
a large wholesale and retail business. Mr.
Gurney is a clean cut man who has always
taken an active interest in the advance-
ment of the welfare of the town, For the
past two years he has served on the coun-
cil board. He is a member of theMethod•
ist church and in. politics is a conservative.
Mr. Isbister, the newly elected reeve, is
entering upon his nineteenth year of mun-
icipal service. Hehas served on the
Morris council and on the Wingham coun-
cil board at different times. For two
years he represented Morris, Grey and
Brussels at the county council and in 1917
he was reeve of Wingham. Some six
years ago he retired from the duties o f
farm life and moved to Wingham. In
religion he is a Presbyterian and in poli-
tics a Liberal.
The 1919 council will, we believe, be a
good oneand the ratepayers may feel as-
sured that the nosiness of the town will
be properly attended to,

Cobb Oa Salvation Army
(From "The Saturday Everting Post")
I have yet to meet any soldier, whether
a brigadier or a private, who, if he spoke 1
at all of the Salvation Artny, did not
speak in terms of fervent gratitude for the
aid that the Salvation Army are rendering
so unostentatiously and yet so very effec-
tively. Let a sizable body of troops move
from one station to another and hard on
its heels came a squad of men and women
of the Salvation Army. An array truck
may bring them, or it may be that they
have a battered jitney to move them and
their scanty outfits Usually they do not
ask for help from anyone in reaching their
destination, They find lodgment in a
wrecked shell of a house or in the corner
of a barn. By main force and awkward-
ness they set up their equipment, and
very soon the word is spread among the
troops that at such -and -such a place the
Salvation Army is serving free hot drinks
and free doughnuts and free pies. 1 t
specializes in doughnuts, the Salvation
Army in the field does, the real old-fash-
ioned, home-made ones that taste of .home
to a home -sick c soldier boy
I did not see this, but one of my associ-
ates did. He saw it last winter in a dis-
mal hole on the Toul sector. A file of our
troops were finishing a long, hike through
rain and snow, over roads knee-deep in
half -thawed, icy slush. Cold and wet
and miserable, they came tramping into
a cheerless, half -empty town within sound
and range of the German guns. They
found a reception committee awaiting
them there—in the person of two Salva-
tion Army lasses and one Salvation Army
Captain The women had a fire going in
the dilapidated oven of a vanished villag-
er'sit
kitchen.
One of them was rolling out the batte
on a plank with an old wine bottle for 'a
rolling pin and using the top of a tin can
to cut the dough into circular strips, The
other woman was cooking the doughnuts*
and as fast as they were cooked the man
served them out. spitting hot, to hungry,
wet boys clamoring about the door, and
nobody was asked to pay a cent.
