Claim was refased on grounds that council had not been given proper notice. : ' Mr. H. W. Strudley, vice-chairman of the county. executive in the last Victory Loan campaign, presented council with the honor flag won by the county in the campaign. Messrs. J. A. Makins, H. W. Strud- ley and Mr: Culverhouse, of the On- tario Government were heard in be- half of the Canning Centre. é Mr. Culverhuse, representing the Ontario government, gave some inter- esting facts about the canning move- ment, saying that this kitchen was one of six in the province and that the equipment of each cost the gov- ernment about $1,500, Because of the output of these institutions going to the hospitals free of charge it was necessary for the supply of fruits and vegetables to be voluntary for the time he said. The reason the ap- peal for funds was made was simply because it was desired that they should be\able to operate on a larger scale and take advantage of any bar- gains of cheap fruit that may present itself. The output of the present kit- chen at factory prices would be worth about $2,500 at a conservative esti- mate, Mr. Culverhouse said, in stat- ing that the kitchen had canned 2,- 500 quarts of fruit and vegetables and 500 cans of chicken so far and would can about 500 cans more be- fore closing down. The Government inspector's re- port of the local House of Refuge was received. It gives the following particulars of the institution: Land 50 acres, valued at $5,000, all culti- vated; receipts fory ear from county $1,123.70; sate of produce, $729.80; other sources, $393.90; expenditure for maintenance, $1,619.38; net cost to county, $4,677.94; value of build- ings $20,000. The only criticism was that the men's domitories were crowd- ed. The report also recommends a new iron fire escape and that the sani- tary condition of the building be bet- 9 looked after. The report was fil- ed. The report ot the House of Refuge inspector for the first six months of 1918 was received. This report show- ed the money paid by the treasurer to have been $38,068.99. Receipts from produce amounted to $528.73, leaving $2,540.26 to be borne by || Press Advertising Sold !

THE STRATFORD FUR MANUFACTURING CO'Y 113 Downie St., STRATFORD [ County. and city. There were 41 county inmates, or 6,693 day's board and 15 city inmates, or 2,172 day's boards. The net cost per inmate was 28¢ per day. The net amount of the county's share of the expense was $1,826.88. A communication from the deputy minister of education advised the Council that the grants for High Schools and Collegiate Institutes in Perth for 1918 were as follows: Lis- Stratford, $1,147.50. Filed. Coun. Hacking and Scott. moved that application be made to the gov- ernment to have certain county roads notably the Huron road, included in the Provincial County road scheme. The matter was left to the Road and Bridge Committee and arrangements are to be made to get full informa- tion from W. A. McLean, Deputy- Minister of Public Works. HE TOOK THE BUGGY A farmer drove to Port Hope the other day to purchase a buggy, and Mr. T. E. Chalk showed him one at $90.00. "Talk about the high cost of living, the farmer grumbled. "I can remem- ber that my father bought a buggy exactly like that for $60 twenty years ago." Mr. Chalk remembered the sale too and he responded quickly: "Your father turned in 300 bushels of corn to pay for it. Now I'll do bet ter by you than I did by your father. You bring in your 300 bushels of corn and ['ll let you pick out this list: And Mr. Chalk wrote down-- One $90 buggy. One $75 wagon. One $20 suit of clothes. One $20 dress. One $5 baby dress. One $5 crib. One $38 box of cigars. $10 worth of sugar. $10 worth of coffee. $10 worth of tea. $100 worth of gasoline. $17 worth of lubricating oil. The total figured $565, the value of the 300 bushels of corn it had tak- en to buy a $90 buggy twenty years before. The farmer climbed back in- to his motor car. "JT guess I haven't any kick coming on. the high cost of living," he said, "Send out that $90 buggy." J. J. E. LINTON GAVE PERTH COUNTY ITS NAME A Stratford name worthy of re- spect and praise is that of J. J. E. Linton, Clerk of the Peace (father of Mrs. Sheriff Hosie), the active friend of the slave, and worker in moral re- forms. He is intimately linked with Stratford's history, for in 1847 he went to Montreal, where Parliament was then sitting, with the hope of getting legislation to separate Strat- ford and county from Huron. Not then succeeding he tried again in 1849, and although the business was difficult to do, because of the hot politics of that day, which culminated in the burning of the House and mob- bing of the Governor, he succeeded in getting a separation, and had the honor of naming the county "Perth," out of respect to the first and success- ful emigrants to North Easthope who came from' 'Glengwaich, Perthshire, Scotland. That honor was his only reward. He occasionally issued at his own expense, from April, 1854, to at least as late as 18638, '"'The Chal- lenge," a prohibitory retail liquor li- cense paper.

The London Conference of the Methodist church is to be invited to meet in Goderich next year, the Of- ficial Boards of the two Methodist churches of that town decided to is- sue such an invitation. The meet- ing is 'held annually about the 'first week in June and is a large and im- portant gathering. Last time Con- ference met in Goderich was in 1907, shortly after the completion of the new North street church. The only objection to'Goderich as a meeting place is that, like Walkerville last year, it is located too much to ene end of the territory covered by the. Conference. Of course it would be all right for those in Huron, Perth and Middlesex counties. GOOD MONTH'S WORK (Listowel Banner.) During the month of Nevember the Listowel West Branch Women's In- stitute shipped to the Red Cross, To- ronto, 38 flannel shirts, valued at $2.50 each; 17 pairs socks, valued at $1.25 per pair; to the Stratford Com- munity Canning Centre, 9 sacks of 70 pounds of dressed fowl valued at $20.00; and to the boys overseas 17 boxes valued at $8.50 each. The in- stitute; with Mrs. A. Ferguson as president and Miss Edna Kincaide, secretary-treasurer, is now working for the refugees of Belgium and France. The national debt of Canada large- ly due to the war, is about $1,000,- 000,000, or-about $125 per head of population. Who' would not pay $125 if he had it sooner than be in the position into which the loss of the war would have placed us? PATRIOTISM. *Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land.' " Thousands upon thousands of mep have met untimely deaths during the past four years; never has the love of home and eountry called for such a sacrifice. Patriotism does not begin nor end with war. We cannot all serve on the battlefield--but we can be as truly patriotic in looking after the welfare of our countrymen here at home. There is an enemy in our midst-- consumption, Lurking in unsuspect- ed places, it seeks but a foothold to drag its victims down to death, Surely it is a true test of love of country to devote our energies and our means towards exterminating such a foe. ' We have just learned of a family, once quite comfortable, now in thse grip of poverty and misery. The father developed consumption; after a lingering illness that exhausted their savings, he died, leaving the mother and four little ones penniless --worse still, all the children have contracted the same disease. This case is not exceptional, family after family is suffering a similar fate. The Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives ---the pioneer in the war against the Great White Plagus --needs your active help to carry on its work. Consumption can be cured if taken in time. Must the fight be lost for lack of funds? tifts may be sent to Sir William J. Gage, 84 Spadina avenue, Toronto, or to George A. Reid, Secretary- Treasurer, Gage Institute, 223 Col lege street, Toronto. TOWNSHIP OF MORNINGTON NOMINATIONS!
