SPROULE A LEADING MERCHANT OF WHITE RIVER, ONT. Deceased Was Born Near srith--Had '8 Most Business Carder--Succumbed Influenza, William E, Mackenzie Sproule died White River on December 27th succumbing to an attack of in- fifenza which seized him about a week before his- demise Perhaps Tid event which has occurred in that place has cast such a gloom over the community as the loss of that publie- spirited citizen He was a friend to every one, and was more familiarly known amongst his friends and trav. ellers as "BilL"" He was chairman of the School Beard for the past six years He contributed liberally to the Red Cross and other patriotic funds, and was a, very warm support er of the Young§Men's Christian As- sociation In ré on he was a Pres- byterian, and he fi 1 such a large part in the life of the community that his loss will be keenly felt. The late Mr. Sproule was born in May, 1883, at a little settlement then know as Sigswgath station, on the line the Kingston and Pembroke Railway, near Harrowsmith, In his boyhood days he showed great apti- tude for business, and his first youth- ful business in carrying on a news- paper agency proved very successful. After attending the Sydenham High School, at which place he secured a teacher's certificate, he taught for a couple of years at Joyceville, but his natural instinet for business soon as- sorted itself, and he gave up teach- ing to enter the life of his desire, that of a merchant. He spent sev- eral years representing wholesale houses on the road, and finally went to White River in 1907 to manage the busine@s of the estate of the late W. H. McDougall. A couple of years later he became a partner, the firm trading under the name of Mc- Dougall & Sproule. He built up a most successful and lucrative trade, Successful at last sterling honesty not only won for him a high rating amongst business houses, but also the esteem and pat- ronage of all the railroad men many miles both east and west of White River. A couple of years ago, notwith- standing the financial depression then existing, he was forced to éreét' a large and more 'commodious build- ing in order to accommodate his ever- inereasing business. This new, mag- nificent store is claimed to be the most up-to-date of its kind in New Ontario, and stands as a monument to his business abilities, Mr. Sproule is survived by his widow, Myrtle, a daughter of Mrs. wm. McDougall, three children, Mae, Ken and Beth, his widowed mother and sister Minnie, who lived with him, also two other sisters, Maude Sproule, ronto, and Mrs. G- Williams, of Buf- fala, N.Y. An only brother, Dr. E. N. Sproule, of Camp Humphreys, Virginia, also survives: Rev. Chris- topher Simpson, of All Saints Angli- ean Church, conducted the buriel service, and the remains were laid to rest in the McDougall family burial plot rat White River. Mr. Sproule was a member of the Shuniah Ma- donde Lodge, Port Arthur. The fu- neral-was attended by a large num- per of sorrowing friends and Masonic representatives from Sclirreiber and Chapleau . The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. [SALVATION ARMY APPEAL HEARD (Continued from Page 1.) $2.--W. F. McBrown, W. G. Kidd, Miss 8. Thorpe, J. C, Strange, Mrs. H. Hensley, Mary M.

Mr. Graham vigorously criticiged the legislation which exempts from taxation the incomde from Victory 'bonds. He knew men in Cangda who had over a million dollars |i invested in these bonds, and they were exempt ftom taxation, while men employed by them who had a salary of the same amount had to pay income taxes on that salary. The rich folk were es caping the income tax by putting their money into Victory bonds, the best investment in the world.
