McLean, of St. Marys, has received a call to Egmondville Pres- byterian church, just south of Sea- forth. Mr. McLean resigned from his charge in St. Marys because he al- leged certain members of his congre- gation were not in favor of free speech. No one who knew Mr. Mc- Lean as a member of the Stratford Presbytery would charge him as be- ing extemely tolerant of humble in- dividuals desiring to present their grievances to that court. * On April Ist all of Canada, except a few isolated spots in Quebec, es- pecially the city of Montreal, goes bone-dry, save for the stocks stowed away in cellars for the long drought.

(Dr.) Charles McMane, after being home on furlough for some months last fall, returned to England in December and had left Halifax a few days before the disaster. Shortly after his arrival in England he was promoted to the rank of Major and placed in charge of a hospital at East- bourne. Here he contracted an ill- ness and was taken to an officers' hospital, where he is now iyiug. Word reached his wife and his mother, Mrs. Allan McMane, of Milverton, last tweek that he was in a serious condi- tion and that the doctors had not been able to diagnose his case. anxiety, however, was somewhat re- lieved the other day when a cable- gram arrived stating that his condi- tion had improved.

Thirty thousand letters to relatives and friends ath ome, written by Am- erican soldiers in France, were lost when the steamship Andania was sunk off the coast of Ireland, the lat- ter part of January, it was announc- ed at Washington by the Postoffice Department. There has~been relief in the power | situation on the hydro service and the local commission now expect to be able to instal the 100 horsepower motor for the Pfeffer Milling Com- pany. The trouble with the lights in certain sections has also been reme- died.--Listowel Banner. Mr. John Brydone on Wednesday of last week at the Guelph Stock Sale held under the auspices of the Guelph Fat Stock Club and the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, purchased "Gay Clipper," a bull bred by W. C. Edwards & Co., of Rockland. The purchase price was $440.

Pugh on "A Child's Share in the Income." All ladies welcome: The Institute has a stock of yarn on hand, and anyone who desires to help knit socks for the soldiers, may have the yarn by calling at Mrs. Wm. Kerr's. The reports from some districts of Ontario state that the outlook for the fall wheat is very poor indeed. The recent thaw has removed the light covering of snow, leaving the wheat exposed to the rigorous weath- er that has since followed. Last fall was an unsuitable season for this par- ticular crop and it didn't develop much top. It may be that a large acreage will have to be plowed up and put into spring grain. For the information of those who have not received expected mail from overseas, it may be said that the Lon- don Times announces on the authority of the Postmaster-general that among the mail matter lost on the sinking of the Andania was the letter mail for Canada 'containing correspondence posted approximately between Jan- uary 23 and 25." No doubt included in it would be letters posted at the front in France a few days earlier than that. , British public life lost a distinctly national figure last week through the death of Mr. John Redmond, the Irish Nationalist leader. Mr. Redmond was a man of great personal charm and one of the few men who had con- served the highest traditions of mag- nificient oratory. Honors were offer- ed him, but proved no temptation. It is due to his constructive idealism and his great gifts as a patriot and states- man that Ireland is so near to-day to the goal of her ambition. A memorial service under the aus- pices of L.0.L., No. 45, Milverton, will be held in the Methodist church, Milverton, on Sunday, March 17th, at 2.30 p.m., in memory of Pte.

Men- hers of sister lodges are cordially in- vited to join in the service. The ser- vice will be conducted by Rev. R. A Miller. = Approximately 5,016,000 dozen eggs spoil needlessly every year in cold storage simply because some one has let clean eggs get wet or has washed dirty eggs before sending them to market, according to the spec- ialists of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. Careful investi- gations of large quantities of stored eggs show that from 17 to 22 per cent. of washed eggs. become worth- less in storage, whereas only 4 to 8 per cent. of dirty eggs spoil when stored unwashed. ~ ; Concerned only in our own provin- cial fuel problem, the people of On- tario sometimes are inclined to shiver at the thought of how cold we might be if the United States should decline to furnish our province with coal. It seems there is no need for fearing any such step being taken by our re- publican neighbors, as they actually import from Canada more coal than they export. The Maritime Provinces of this dominion do more to keep Uncle Sam's industries going by sup- plying soft coal than the Pittsburg region does for Ontario in sending us heat and_steam coal. So as long as we,.can keep the amount overbalanc- ed as at present, we are not likely to have our comfort cut down for lack of coal from across the border. and Mr. Edwin Fink attended the fur The Times is delayed this week ~ through a break in the | hydro line.

The proceeds of such stuff as he sold amounted to over $3,000. The wind and sleet storm of Sat- urday and Sunday did considerable damage to telephone and hydro lines throughout Western Ontario. A num- ber of windmills were also badly dam- aged. At the recent sale of Shorthorns held by Mr. L. K. Weber, Hawkesville Mr. S. H. Pugh purchased "Meg Sul- tana," dam "Sultgna" Imp., by "Lord Lieutenant" Imp. Mr. Johnston, of paneer also purchased a young ull, Mr. Sam Gleeckman wishes to an- nounce that as soon as spring opens and he is able to get about, that he will call on all his old patrons and pay the highest price for poultry, eggs, produce, iron, rubbers, bottles, bags and all junk. t.f£.n. _ Hon. T. W. McGarry, the Provin- cial Treasurer, said he might probably have obtained 99 by spreading the three milion dollar bonds broadcast, but he sold them to the big investors for 97.66. This appears to be a snap for the financial magnates. The Columbus hockey team of Port Arthur, champions of the Thun- der Bay Amateur League, were de- feated at Toronto on Wednesday of last week by the Kitchener team. The score standing 20-2. The Northern men then forfeited the second game. Every possible acre of. tillable land should be put under crop this year. Last year the response to the call for greater production was very gratify- ing indeed. This year the call is equally as urgent, if not more so. Everything depends upon this year's crop. A Bobcaygeon farmer had 175 cords of hardwood, and was offered $10 per cord for it at the station. He refused, stating that the people of Bobcaygeon needed it, and sold it to them at $8 per cord. Is there no one to recommend for this man some sort of distinguished service medal? He deserves it. George A. Bruce, aged fifty-one, one of Waterloo's foremost citizens, died at his home on Wednesday of last week after an extended illness. He was born in Guelph. He was a well-known insurance man in his early years, but later had been active- ly indentified with the oil business. He was a director of the Kitchener and Waterloo Hospital. Everyone will tell you that it is bad luck to pass a pin without pick- ing it up. The Vancouver Sun re- lates that a man who believes in that stopped to pick up one in front of the post office and, while he was stooping his hat fell off and rolled into the gutter. Two suspender but- tons gave way, his collar split and his artificial teeth fell and broke on the sidewalk. Colin S. Campbell (North Grey) introduced a bill in the Legislature on Monday to amend the municipal act, by which cities, towns and _ vil- lages have the right to pass a by-law requiring all firewood and cordwood to be sold by the cord, containing 128 cubic feet. It has to be measured by the market inspector and the meas- urement plainly marked on it. Before the end of the session W. McDonald, of North Bruce, will move a redistribution be made so that the number of members in the legislature will be cut down from 111 to 82. "There is no reason why the ridings should not be adhered to in the local legislature as used in the federal elec- tions," states Mr. McDonald. Mr. Mc- Donald's suggestion would make. the basis of population about 30,000 for each member that is returned. Hon. John Oliver, the new premier of British Columbia, was born in Derbyshire, England, in 1856, and came, with his parents to Canada in 1870, settling in Maryboro, Welling- ton county, where he worked at farm- ing in the summer and in the woods in the winter, until 1877, when he se- cured work with a C. P. R. survey party in British Columbia, where he took up a homestead in Surrey muni- cipality. For years he has farmed at Delta and at the time of his elevation to the Premiership, was Minister of Railways in the late Mr. Brewster's cabinet. A daylight saving bill has been in- troduced in the Provincial legislature. Discussion on it may serve to educate the public to the advantages of the system and strengthen a similar meas- ure which will likely be presented to Parliament and the Dominion when it meets. Provincial limitations are too narrow to secure the most satisfac- tory operation of the system. The principle should be Dominion-wide; or, better still, international in_ its scope, for convenience in the conduct of railways, steamships, and, perhaps other business organizations. By all means, let us put the clocks ahead an hour for the long days, but give the system a fair chance to work, by the widest possible application.--Guelph Mercury. Since the war commenced Mrs. J. A. Linton, of Mitchell, has knitted over 600 pairs of socks for the sold- iers. For the month of February she knitted 29 pairs, a little better than one pair per day. On the fiyst day of March she knitted five socks, but worked up to near midnight. Mrs. Linton sent the five hundredth pair to Queen Mary and received a very nice letter m renly from Her Majestv's secretary, which makes two letters received from the Queen, praising the good work she has been doing for the soldiers. She also had a letter from Dr. M. Steele from the House of Com- mons, which also gave her great praise for being so patriotic. Her 'record 'of knitting socks will be hard to beat as she has a good sized fam- 'ily to look after besides. . = A } Malcolm Macbeth, Editor and Proprietor .

The Chicago price is $2.20. The vacant lot association of Chi- cago, will have a quarter million gar- dens producing food this year. The Guelph association ean secure plenty of land for gardens and want the bowlers and golfers to get busy and arrange for onion growing competi- tions. Twenty-two: applications for divor- ce are to be considered by the Senate divorce committee. Of these 12 are from Ontario, four from Quebec, three from Manitoba, two from Al- berta and one from Saskatchewan. Four of the Ontario applications are from Toronto. The Trades and Labor Council, of Winnipeg, passed a resolution pe- tition the City Council to retain the 20 ounce loaf and also to petition the Government at Ottawa to take over the flour mills and bakeries of the Dominion and that no increase in the present price of bread be permitted. It costs Uncle Sam approximately $5,000 to put a soldier in England, as against $8,700 to place a Canadian soldier in the same place, according to the recent figures given by the War Department. So it is expensive to train and equip a man and send him overseas, unless he is physically fit and stays so. Peace talk should not deter anyone fxom efforts in food production. If the war were to stop tomorrow, con- ditions approaching those of famine would prevail in many countries for a year or two. Besides, the war is not going to stop tomorrow. It is more likely to last six years than to end in six months.--Goderich Signal. Vivian, the 5-year-old son of Mr: and Mrs.. Sidney Franklin, poured gasoline on the stove with the result that he was severely burnt on the face and hands, last Thursday even- ing. Under the doctor's care the young lad had sufficiently recovered to be taken to Cobourg with the rest of the family last Monday.--Elmira Signet. Mr. Ralph Hilborn, who has con- tracted to deliver 50,000 feet of lum- ber to the Schierholtz Furniture Co., New Hamburg, brought to their yards the logs from one large elm tree which contained over 5,000 feet of lumber. The tree measured 5% feet in diameter at the trunk and 4% feet across the other end of the first 8- foot cut. Four 8-foot logs cut from ee tree contained 3,864 feet of lum- er. While threshing beans at Archie McKinnon's, 6th con. of Kinloss, El- liott Miller, discovered a bean plant which evidently had set out to solve the food problem. It presented such a cluster of pods that Miller threw it aside. On examining it he found that it carried 33 pods containing 119 beans, all well developed and in good condition and there was evidence that a few pods had been broken off.-- Lucknow Sentinel. The new motor headlight law of Ontario says: "It shall be unlawful to carry on any motor vehicle a light- ing device of over four candle-power equipped with a reflector, unless the same shall be so designed, deflected or arranged that no portion of the reflected beam of light, when mea- sured seventy-five feet or more ahead of the lamp, shall rise above forty- two inches from the level surface on which the vehicle stands." Because of its literary and scienti- fic value in the study of works written in the German language, Rev. Father Foster, president of L'Assumption College, Sandwich, expressed the view that the passage of prohibitory legislation relative to the teaching of German in Ontario educational insti- tutions would be a "grevious-mis- take." There are some 75 pupils now taking the Teutonic language with their other studies at the college, Father Foster said. Births, Marriages and Deaths. BIRTHS.

OBITUARY ELLIOTT LANG But Yew now remain of that band ef hardy pioneers that came into Mor- nington in the early 50's of the last century and laid in the wilderness the foundation of which "were in after years to be beautiful and fertile farmsteadings. The last to pass away was Mr, Elliott Lang, of North Morn- ington, who died on March Ist, from heart failure. Mr, Lang was a native of Donneskillen, County of Ferman- agh, Ireland, where he was born in 1829. He immigated to this count with his parents in 1846 and settle for a time in Durham county, where he followed the trade of carpentering. In 1858, accompanied by his brothers Moses, Edward, John and Aaron, he came west to Mornington and pur-. chased a farm and resided in the township ever since. In 1872, he' married Elizabeth Harron, who pre- deceased him by about five years. He is, however, survived by a family of one son, George, of Mornington, and three daughters, Mrs. Frank C. Staf- ford, Markdale; Mrs. Wm. H. Tanner, Stratford; and Mrs. Wm, A. Glenn, of Mornington. (James, another son, died a year or two ago). He is also survived by a sister, Mrs .G. Martin, of Stratford. Mr. Lang was a mem- ber of the Orange Association, having, attained the degree of Scarlet Knight and the last rites of the order were conducted at the graveside. He was a strict and devoted member of the Anglican church and, in politics, was a very ardent conservative. He was a good sample of "Our Grand Old Men," strong in his religious convic- tions, firm in character, conscientious in his political beliefs, yet tolerant withal. Canada owes much to such men. The funeral, which was con- ducted by Rev. H. L. Nicholson, took place from the family residence, on Monday, March 4th, to Fairview cem- etery, Listowel, where the remains were laid in their last resting place; the attendance, considering the con- dition of the roads, being very 'large. Among those from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. George Martin, Strat- ford; Mrs. John Wray, Wingham; Mrs.. Wm. Crawford, Belmore; Mrs. John Montgomery, Toronto. + + & MRS. JACOB WARNING One of the oldest pioneers of Ellice township passed to her reward en Wednesday evening, Feb. 27th, in the person of Mrs. J. Warning, relict ef the late Jacob Warning. She had been in failing health for the past couple of months and gradually grew weaker till finally the end came. Mrs. Warning, whose maiden name was Mary Beck, was born in Himback, Germany, on Jan. 30th, 1832. She emigrated to America in 1852, land- ing at New York and then came to Canada. In 1858, she married Jacek Warning and for five years they lived in Logan township. From there they moved to lot 10, con. 16, Ellice, on which farm there was but very little clearing but, with perseverance and industry, they strove together to make a home and lived there until death claimed them. Mr. Warning having died over six years ago. Mrs. Warning was of a quiet, home loving disposition and a_ faithful member of the New Mennonite church She is survived by three daughters namely, Mrs. Kuntze, North Easthope Mrs. Lohr, Ellice, and Mrs. Wilhelm, on the homestead. The only son, Frederick, having died in early man- hood. She also leaves twelve grand child- ren and sixteen great grand children and one brother, Frederick Beck, ef Sebringville. The funeral, which was very large- ly attended, took place on Sunday, March 8rd, to the Mennonite cemetery at Kingwood. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. Steele, assisted by Rev. J. Wilhelm. The pallbearers were Messrs. €. Roth, J. Jacobs, J. Schneider, S. Jae- obs, J. Roth and B. Yost. Rores Likell is the name of a man out West. Whether it sounds lion- like or not depends mainly on where you put the accents and how you distribute the syllables.
