By a drive in Milverton last week over $1,000 was raised for the Rus- sian Relief Fund. Mrs. W. J. Smith was “at home” to a number of her lady friends on Fri- day evening of last week. Mr. W. A, Heughan has been some- what indisposed for a few days through an attack of “flu.” Mrs. J. E. Campbell has returned home after spending a few days with friends in North. Easthope. The many friends of Mrs. H. L. Engeland will regret to hear that she is at present on the sick list. Mr. Kingsley Clark, of the Dental College, Toronto, is spending the Easter vacation at his home here. Mrs. (Rev.) A. Edington, of Wel- lesley, spent a few days this week with her friends, Mrs. R. Inglis and Mrs. Peter Campbell. Margaret, the eighteen-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schiel, we regret to hear is at present quite. ill of pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. R.

A rain which commenced before midnight on Monday and continued to pour down until Friday forenoon has resulted in ditches and streams overflowing their banks. Fields and flat lands are, in many places an ab- solute sea of water. The frost has been thoroughly taken out of the ground, The fine warm weather that pre- vailed from Saturday to Tuesday accompanied by those splendid show- ers have done wonders for the fall wheat and clover which is springing green everywhere. The wheat fields that entered the winter with a good top are looking better than those sown later in the season. Through the good offices of Dr. J. P. Rankin, M.P., the Village of Mil- verton has received from the keeper of war trophies a large 8-inch motar mounted on wheels, that was captur- ed at Vimy Ridge on April 12th, 1917 by the 46th Canadians 10th C.I.B. This piece of artillery will likely be placed on the lawn in front of the publie library. We believe that it would be a com- | mendable thing on the part of the council if it advised the police author- ities to enforce the curfew law. It seems that there are in the village a few parents that take but little inter- est in the whereabouts of their child- rei at night. Boys and girls of tend- er years may be found upon the streets up to ten and eleven o’clock without guardians. Not only are they forming idle and vicious habits, but they are making themselves a nuis- ance by distrubmg public gatherings and peeping around private dwellings. A little more vigilance and surveill- ance now on the part of parents and authorities may save many a boy and girl from treeding the primrose path. Right Worthy Bro. Isaac Heather- ington, District Deputy Grand Master of South Huron district, No. 4. A.F. & A.M., of Carlaw, made an official visit to Milverton Lodge, No. 478, on Monday evening. The work of the initiatory degree was put on by Wor, Bro. W. T. Shearer and his officers in a manner that brought commenda- tion from the D.D.G.M.

More than one-third of the popula tion of the United States favors the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Waterway project, Senator Randall, of Louwisi- 'ana, told the Massachusetts Chamber ‘of Commerce recently.

He ada- vised the education of farmers sons and urged the young people to be leaders, not. followers, and try to make good citizens of Canada. It is virtually certain that when Hon, Peter Smith. Provincial Treas- uerer, announces his new taxation it will -provide for a five per cent. tax on winning tickets at race meetings.
