It will be noticed that the council made a grant to the Red Cross. Since increasing our subscription rate. we have not yet met a kicker. Everybody knows we had good reason for making the advance. Ev- erything used in connection with our work has gone up nearlY- one hundred per cent. since the begin- ning of the war, and some of the reguirements have gone much higher. We have simply been forced to advance prices. Lieut. Milton Mills, who spent.20 months in the trenches, havmg gone with the first contingent, re- turned on furlough about a year 380. He subsequently enlisted in the Foresters Battalion, and was transferred to the flying corps and trained at Camp Borden, but ' met With an. accident, about a month ago and suffered nervous shock to such an extent that he has been honor- ?th discharged.‘ He is now at his home at St. ~Catharines, further service. in in for The subscriptions last week in aid of the British Red Cross, a- mounted to $1,239.75. The list will be published next week, and all.who have not contributed are requeSted to do so at once. We would like to impress upon all lovers of liberty that contributions in aid of the various patriotic schemes are not acts of charity, butthe payment of a debt of gratitude. We owe every dollar we can'give to the boys in the fight The casualty lists of the past few days are very heavy, and forces up- on us the necessity of instant ac- tion in sending reinforcements to help the boys at the front. Re- cruiting is practically at an end, and the only available method is by conscription, and that right soon. There is no time to lose; and we hope the boys, already worn out with service, will soon be re- inforced and relieved. They have had a long, hard pull. The Orangemen, to the number of sixty orseve nty, attended service on Sunday in the Methodist church when a very appropriate sermun was preached by Rev. Mr. Meyer. If a business man refuses to con- tribute towards patriotic purposes, he has no need to feel surprised if his customers drop off. We know that people can’t be generous in every case, but in the trying times through which we are now pass- ing they should strain a point to do something sometimes. Mr. Wes. Hunt, who has been in Edmontcm for the past ten years, spent .‘wer Sunday with his brothâ€" ers, H. \\'., and A. W. Hunt. It is eight years since he was last in this locality. He is engaged in a hard- ware business in Edmonton, and was in Montreal and other places on business. ‘He is looking well, and doing well. He left Monday morning and after spending a con- ple of days at Preston, Hamilton and Toronto, will return 'to the west, accompanied by his sister, Mrs. W. D. Mills, of St. Catharines. Charles Russell, a bachelor Iar- mer about 50 years of age, who had been living with his brother, Alex, near Pinkerton, was found Monday morning lying on his back in a swamp, a mile and a half from home, with his throat cut from ear to ear. He was summoned as a. witness on a liquor charge against his brother, Alex;, and disappeared on October 22nd, the day before the trial, and "although a search was made of the neighborhood, he had not. been seen, till discovered by a rabbit-hunting party.

He was 16 years of age last March and has been sufi‘ering from heart trouble since Easter. The doctors gave no assurance, but the fond parents always hoped he would be again restored to health. for a short time, when he suddenly grew weaker, became unconscious and died in a, few minutes.

In the course of his remarks, the- Rev. gentleman show- ed that all the science,.knowledgc, culture, philosophy, etc., had rais- ed man to a level very little higher’ than the brute beast, backing his assertion from the awful carnage of the present war; but there would come a time of construction after the war, and he showed conclusive- ly that the only hope of lifting the world to a higher or better level was the gospel of Jesus Christ, cu1-. tivated and. practised throughout the whole world, and not the least of those forces employed for the spreading of the gospel was the Women’s Auxiliary. . A thank-of- fering taken up at the close of the service, contributed by the ladies alone, amounted to $26.

President Telford made a brief address, in Which he explained the nature of the convention, as politâ€"' ical conditions had changed since the nomination a year ago of Mr. Wright as the standard-bearer of the Liberal party. He said there was a good deal of. twaddle in po- litical circles of winning the war, much of which had eminated from his Tory friends, who would like to well attend-ed representatives being xresent from Dundaik, Markdale, Meshel ton Priceville Hanover: and finer points in the riding. lay claim to a monopoly of the L'tmntry‘s loyalty. As to loyalty to country, and a desire to win the war, he said that Sir Wilfrid Lau-- rier stood second to none. The so- called Union Government he did not consider a union government in the true sense. Carvell, who joined the Unionists, he said, was not optim- istic over its formation. Sir Robert Borden promised it would be non- partisan, but judges and returning officers were all Tories. The Franchise Act was characterized as the most disgraceful and most shameful in the history of any country. In concluding, he asked if Sir Wilfrid ever gave an uncer- tain sound when great issues were at stake, and if he could have pass- ed through the last 30 years of his political life without a. stain on his political escutcheon, he thought the people of Canada should be willing to trust him at the head of the government of the next .five years.

The secre- nry was then called on for the min- _1tes of the last meeting. ' The Liberal conventiqn held here m Monday afternoon was fairly Mr. W. H. Wright, the candidate,‘ explained on rising, the differences: between the present time and a‘ year ago, when he was given the nomination. In 1916, there were the two parties. Since then, the parties had undergone a change, and now a Union Government was set up before the electors. He was chosen as a‘straight Liberal in 1-916, and since then he had no mandate to make a change in his politics. He wished to meet the electors and get their approval as to the course be intended to pursue. When he explained his position the electors then had the right to say whether or not they wished him to remain as their candidate. He thought it a good policy, and good Liberal poli- ties, to approach the people. He next went an to express his disapproval of the preposed Union (hwernment, and expressed his hearty concurrence in the remarks Mrs. Wm. Weir is visiting her sister. Mrs. Little, at Dundalk. Miss Gertie Lawrence visited last week with Miss Edna M. Ritchie. LIEUT. STANLEY MONALLY DIED OF WOUNDS. “Deeply regret to inform you Lieut.

He denounced the Canadian Nor- thern deal, the Franchise Act, and other actions of the Borden Govern- ment. Mr. Rowen. he said, had joined the Dominion Government without a mandate from the Liber- als, and had no right to undertake the position. The appointment of Dr. Pugsley was the only case he could recan in which preferment. was given to a Liberal. and the appointment was given to him to get rid of him. The Franchise Bill be character- ized as the most unfair that ever disgraced this or any other coun- try. In stating his platform, he said he! agrees generally with the policy of the manifesto issued by Sir Wilfrid Laurier last week. He was in gen- eral accord with Sir Wilfrid’s pol- icy, but reserved the right of inde- pendent action on the war question. All, he said. Liberals and Conserva- tives. were anxious to win the war. He was not in absolute accord with Sir Wilfrid on the war question. and was willing to give the Military Service Act a fair trial. Conscripâ€" tion he regarded as the result of ’mismanagement, attributable to the {Borden Government. Dr. Mearns, of Hanover. said he did not intend to speak. but con- gratulated '- the ladies who had se- cured the franchise in Ontario as the result of Liberal agitation.
