and all the London railway systems.However, the effect of the agreement which has ended the strike on the railways leading into London on demands which may be made by employees on busses and tram car

WAGES (Canadian Press Despatch) BUTTE, MONTANA, Feb.7\u2014 The official publication of the Miners\u2019 Union declared today that the Metal Trades Union and the Independent Miners\u2019 Union are considering a strike because of the wage reductions of one dollar a day, announced yesterday affecting approximately twenty thousand employees in Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls.Electrical Engineers to Be Called Out in London on Saturday.(Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, Feb.7\u2014 In expectation that electric lights would be cut off last night, there was a great sale of lamps and candles here during the day, but at six o'clock in the evening it was announced that the Electrical Trades Union strike had been postponed.It is understood that the latest plan is to call out the engineers in London's sixty power houses at midnight Saturday.While the outside electrical workers will strike today, there is another union\u2014the Electrical Power Engineers\u2019 Association\u2014which is a sort of aristocracy among electrical workers.Its secretary said yesterday that the mem bers would stand by their work and would insure a reasonable supply of electricity.One newspapers here estimates that five million hours of work is being lost daily, apart from the losses of shop-keepers, theatres and railroads as a result of the strike.One resu\u2019t of the inability of thousands to reach their places of business has been such a congestion of telephone business that the management of the company has been forced to appeal to the public to limit itseif to strictly necessary calls.While a majority of the newspapers are against the strikers, the Westminster Gazette, which is one of the most influential journals here, summarizes the men\u2019s case, saying that \u201cthe Government picked industry to pieces for the war, and must put it together again for peace.\u201d The strike has brought out several movements for volunteers to carry on Cubiic works and for sorieties to comine the middle classes for their own protection.Some of the electricians struck during the evening, but up to a late hour none of the public services was affected.All the power houses were working as usual.MUSTBELEAGUE OF PEOPLES, NOT GOVERNMENTS Opinion of Socialist Conference is that League Must Be Formed Immediately and Comprise All Peoples.(Associated Press Despatch) BERNE, Feb.7\u2014 The International Socialist Conference today accepted unanimously the resolution drafted by the Conference Commission Wednesday on the League of Nations.The nuestion had been discussed for two days.The leading opinion was that a League of Nations must be formed immediately and comprise all peoples without exception; that it must be a Lea- Eue of Peoples, and not a League of overnments.Arthur Henderson, the British labor leader, declared that the Paris Peace Conference was attentively watching te-tfee wftsït tite ' Berne Conference would decide in regard to the League of Nations, while Pietro Renaudel, tader of tne French Mwjority Social-ts, in a speech, said the Paris Conference must be forced to consider the will of the Berne Conference.Opposition to commrcial protection ivstems was voiced at the Socialist Conference this afternoon bj .luan Justo, a representative of Argentina, who said that protection was a \u201cbarrier to internationalism.\u201d \u201cTho development of International Institutions, which form the best basis for International amity, is one of the predominating points of the Society pf Nations,\u201d no said.(Associated Press Despatch) LAWRENCE, MASS., Peb.7\u2014 Five men and a girl were arrested for minor disturbances in connect,on w.ui ! picketing about the time the mill gates opened today.Otherwise, the textile strike situation here remained entirely quiet on the surface, at least.The great plants of the American Woollen Company and the Arlington, Pacific and Uswoco continued in operation, but only in' part.Where many thousands are nominally employed, only hundreds were at work today.Unless a break in the strike comes soon, it is expected that the number at work will grow still smaller as the crippling of the proauction capacity in one department leads to a shut-down in others.Intimidation was the charge against fnost of those arrested.From the windows of houses near the mills, bottles were hurled into the streets, and in one instance a stone was aimed directly at a policeman.It missed its mark.The police were unable to locate the throwers of these missies.HAVING QUITE A tmiE TROUBLE of the Opposition, in his speech on the

Facilities, It Would Be a Great Handi Programme Will Be Ready for Presentation to Society of Nations Next Week.(Canadian Press Despatch) PARIS, Feb.7 \u2014 Captain Andre Tardieu, one of the French representatives on the Commission of the Society of Nations, announced last night that the programme for the Society will be ready some time next week.He also said: \u201cFrance is opposed to the raising of the blockade on raw materials a ainsi Germany until her damage to French industries has been made good.Germany was responsible for the destruction of one-third of the factories of France,

year\u2019s work he estimated at $143,205.Aid.Forest said his plan was to call for tenders for the construction.Speaking of the essential features of street construction, he said there must be a six-inch foundation of concrete.The city was at work getting out stone for this purpose and was employing some forty more men than usual at this season of the year.Aid.Forest asked the Board of Trade to help in this project.He invited discussion of his plan.\t¦ Demand for Expert Supervision.This invitation brought forth remarks upon the subject from E.W.Farwell, A.M.Sangster, J.S.Mitchell, G.Richard, Aid.Skinner, Aid.Edwards, M.Echenberg and others.The gist of the views expressed was that the city was back of a sound pav-jing policy, but citizens would demand \u2018that the money be judieiousty spent.I The first essential guarantee to this end, in the opinion of the speakers, was that the city should take expert advice in the matter.The expenditure involved was too great to take chances ! on the work being badly done.Expert! assistance must be secured to guide I the city in the matter.It developed that the Council was ! not wholly in accord on the matter, j The views of the

OVER THE EMBARGOES DECLARED PROPOSAL MADE BY PREMIER WATTS DOES NOT FIND MUCH FAVOR (Canadian Press Despatch from Reuter\u2019s, Limited.) LONDON, Feb.7.\u2014 The proposal of acting Premier Watts, of Australia, for pooling the empire\u2019s war debts does not find touch favor in financial circles in the city.It is argued that the scheme is inconsistent with the principle of autonomy on which the empire s founded, and that this principle has financial advantages which it would he very unwise to forego.The war debts contracted by the different Dominions are their direct obligations, and their peoples realize the responsibility which rests upon them to see that these debts are properly discharged.Sherbrooke Patriotic Association A « unces First List of Contributions.\u201cFor a better and bigger Sherbrooke\u201d was the 1919 slogan of the Board of Trade announced.at the annual meeting of the Sherbrooke Board of Trade last night, thus reversing the order of the old slogan and placing community service first.The retiring president, Mr.E.J.Page, in his excellent address emphasized the greater opportunity for effort in the direction of city improvement.The idea was developed later when he read the report of the council of the hoard outlining a plan for enlarged activities.This plan appeals for increased public support and the organization of the board on enlarged lines, community service being the keystone of the structure, i Mr.J.W.McKee, the newly-elected vice-president, gave what may be termed the \u201ckeynote\u201d speech in connection with the proposal.' He found the term \u201cBoard of Trade\u201d too restricted to cover the work which f \u2022 hoard ought to do.In the new l lan service to the community , with a view of making Sherbrooke a better place to live in, should come ahead of the effort to make of Sherbrooke a larger city.The new council of the board will meet immediately to develop the plan for enlarged activities, and early pub- i lie announcements are prominsed.| THE NEW OFFICERS.The election of officers for 1919 resulted as follows : President, J.Nicol, K.C.Vice-president, J.W.McKee.Council\u2014E.J.Page, D.J.Steele, E.\tW.Farwell, C.B.Howard, Ai.M.Sangster, V.E.Morrill, H.W.Welsh, M.Echenberg, E.D.Kelly, F.W.Dakin, L.Lacombe, J.O.Darche, F.\tFortin, A.E.Couet, Dr.L.Forest, J.E.Poutre, M.A.Laine, H.A.Olivier, M.J.Choquette, A.Blouin, For arbitration committee\u2014Messrs.Dr.J.O.Camirand, L.J.Codere, W.S.Dreseoc, B C.Howard, J.H.Walsh, W.R.Webster, J.S.Mitchell.Delegates to E.T.Boards meetings\u2014Messrs.J.Nicol, F.Fjrcin, T.J.Parkes, J.E.Poutre.Alternatives\u2014Messrs.\tï.K.Ed- wards and O.C.Morissette.Auditors\u2014Messrs.A.tf.Couet and A.J.D.O\u2019Dell.ADDRESS OF RETIRING 1 RESIDENT.Mr.E.J.Page in ids valedictory address said: \u201cYour board worked the past jem under the policy adopted when the war started, which necessarily meant curtailment of activities.Local improvements could not he expected.American industries were not coming to Canada and all the officers of your hoard were working at high pitch in their own callings in answer t j the national appeal for greater production.TIME NOW RIPE FOR ACTION.\u201cIn my opinion, however, ai d I might say this is the opinion of many of the business men of our city, tie time is now ripe for greater activity, as I am sure every citizen worthy of the name is anxious to see Sherbrooke progress and attain her rightful position in the future.'Cities are what men make them,\u2019 and given even twenty-five or fifty entcmsiastic capable men you can make Sherbrooke as good a place to live in, as well conducteh and as large a city as they wish, and here I want to make a statement : I have no patience with the man who sits down and says, \u2018They have got to come to us ¦; we have the location and the power.\u2019 We may have these things, but we have to let people know it and convince them of it.Besides, other place* have advantages to offer.WANT HELP OF ALL BUSINESS MEN.\u201cWe are not getting the support oï many of our brightest and biggest men ; we are not getting the support of many of the men who have recelvi ed the most benefit from Board oJ Trade work.This is not to criticize these men, but to let them know that We miss them and want anil need their co-operation.It may be our own fault in not interesting them, but, gentlemen, one of tne most difficult parts of our work ia to develop matters of sufficient lay terest to attract the general membership.Your council has been industrious and has done a lot of good work.LABOR SITUATION.\u201cI believe these times call for a greater use of wisdom on the part ol employers than at almost any time of the past.Upon the wisdom of employers depends to a large degree the! extent of unrest among workerd which we will undoubtedly see in the next few years.While it is true thaï; Sherbrooke is especially fortunate in regard to labor conditions still, in common with the country as a whole, if the efforts of foreign agitators of Bolshevik tendency are not countered, Canada\u2019s efforts to secure export business may be seriously handicapped.WORKING WITH CITY COUNCIL.\u201cI am truly glad to be able to inform you that at probably no tim« in the history of the new board has our relations with the City Council been so amicable.Today each body welcomes the suggestions of the other, and listens with respect ; and I want to say to the citizen who makes it a habit to criticize the City Council that he has just as good and a little better than he has a right to expect.The citizen who elects a counciPor and then gives him no support whatever, but destructively criticizes his every action, is not doing right.Instead of that, let him get < Continued on ********* «tv* *>* * ,1»-*.*.* * f THE WEATHER ?* * * * * * /?> ?* * * * * * * 4.j.* FAIR TODAY AND SATURDAY.The pressure distribution has not changed since yesterday, and tho temperature continues very low in the Western Provinces, and moderate from Ontario westward, Moderate westerly winds, fair today and Saturday; not much change in temperature.BOSTON, Feb.7\u2014Pierce Williams, commercial attache of the United States at Paris, urged members of the New England Shoe and Leather 1 Association today to be considerate of ; Great Britain and other countries which might declare embargoes on| certain goods manufactured in the I United States.He declared that Great ( Britain, France and some other coun- : tries after the four years of war j could not afford to buy from the Unit- j ed States to any extent and that in DRAWS ATTENTION TO ARROGANT CONDUCT OF GERMAN NATION (Canadian Press Despatch from Reuter's, Limited.)

PERSIA WANTS TO BE REPRESENTED AT THE PEACE CONFERENCE 1 PARIS, Feb.7.-earncstly a claim -Persia is pressing for representation The Reception Committee of the Sherbrooke Patriotic Association has organized to meet all trains coming | into the city, in order to welcome re-\u2018urning soldiers.The men who have no relatives in Sherbrooke are invited m the Khaki Club, 30 Dufferin avenue, where they may stay as guests for seven days, after which a moderate charge is made.The Khaki Club is next best to a real home, and is appreciated by the! men who are waiting to get their dis-i charge or who are in Sherbrooke be-ween trains on their way to different1 parts of the Townships.The club is a cheerful place and the newcomer can see at once that he is welcome.Soldiers of the Eastern Townships will never forget the day they left home to take up the fight overseas, nor will they forget the day of their return, each little detail of those days will stick in their memories, and the people at home want them always to remember that they were greeted with appreciation of what they have done overseas for Canada.Such a welcome will be consistent with the send-off which the men received and with the backing of the home people all through the fight.The Sherbrooke Patriotic Association gratefully acknowledges the following contributions to the Khaki Fund: The Sherbrooke

again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can\u2019t control urination.While it is extremely annoying and .ometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome.Get about four ounces of Jad Halts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days .This wl neutralize the acids in the urin.so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litb-ia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary iisordera caused by uric acid irritation.Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.Here you have a pleasant, effervescent litnia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.EVERY WINTER edrZOyeak writes Mr.I.Whitesmith, of Manilla, Ont, \u201cI suffered a goalee with chapped and cracked hands.Mv thumbs were so badly cracked that they actasl!;

Don\u2019t worry,\u201d answered the Scarecrow, soothingly; \u201cif you\u2019ll keep quiet long enough for me; to think.I\u2019ll try to find some way for us all to escape.\u201d So the others waited in patient silence while the Scarecrow walked to | a corner and stood'with his fact to the wall for a good five minutes.At the end of that time he faced them with a more cheerful expression upon his painted face.\u201cWhere is the Saw-Horse you rode here?\u201d he asked the Pumpkinhead.\u201cWhy, I said he was a jewel, .and; ur ¦Æ mm ¦¦\"Rfv _S The Wooden Steed Gave One Final Leap.pieces.The Sea recrow sighed.\u201cIn an emergency,\u201d he announced,! \u201cit is always a good thing to pause and reflect.Please excuse me while 1; pause and reflect.\u201d \u201cBut we also are in danger,\u201d said .the Pumpkinhead, anxiously.\u201cIf any; of these girls understand cooking, my; end is not far off!\u201d \u201cNonsense!\u201d exclaimed the Scare-' crow; \u201cthey\u2019re too busy to cook, even if they know how!\u201d\t, \u201cBut should I remain here a pri-| soner for any length of time,\u201d pro-; tested Jack, \u201cI\u2019m liable to spoil.\u201d \u201cAh! then you would not be fit to associate with,\u201d returned the Scarecrow.\u201cThe matter is more serious than I suspected.\u201d \u201cYou,\" said the Pumpkinhead, gloomily, \"are liable to live \"for many years.My life is necessarily short.So so your man locked him up in the ) royal treasury,\u201d said Jack.\u201cIt was the only place I could think of, your Majesty,\u201d added the Soldier, ) fearing he had ma/àe a blunder.\u201cIt pleases me very much,\u201d said! the Scarecrow.\u201cHas the animal beer, fed?\" \u201cOh, yes; I gave him a heaping; peck of sawdust.\u201d \u201cExcellent!\u201d cried the Scarecrow.; \u201cBring the horse here at once.\u201d The Soldier hastened away, and presently they heard the clattering of the horse\u2019s wooden legs upon the pavement as he was led into the courtyard.His Majesty regarded the steed critically.\tI \u201cHe doesn\u2019t seem especially graceful,\u201d he remarked, musingly; \u201cbut I suppose he can run?\u201d \u201cHe can, indeed,\u201d said Tip, gazing; M Montreal\u2019s Largest Store Visit Montreal Free!

Slow him up!\u201d shouted the Scarecrow.\u201cMy straw is all shaking down into my legs.\u201d But Tip had no breath to speak, so the Saw-Horse continued his wild career unchecked and with unabated .'.peed.Presently they came to the banks of a wide river, and without a pause the wooden steed gave one final leap and launched them all in mid-air.A second later they were rolling, splashing and bobbing about in the water, the horse struggling frantically to find a rest for its feet and its riders being first plunged beneath the rapid current and then floating upon the surface like corks.Next.Story: \u201cThe Journey to the Tin Woodman,\u201d in which the four travellers manage to reach the opposite bank of the river in safety and start to go through a part of the country which was once inhabited by dangerous Winged Monkeys.Are the Monkeys still there, or is their journey peaceful and uninterrupted?The next installment will tell you.a 7 6% m How Lon6 Is It To 5 Noon Hour?'T'HIS boy wishes the clock would go faster.In his lunch box are two sandwiches made with whole wheat bread, generously buttered, and a thick layer of Lantic OldTqfhimed Brown Sugar There is nothing better for the school child\u2019s lunch, and the addition of a red apple makes it perfect.Many people have forgotten how good old-fashioned brown sugar tastes.It is more than mere \u201csweetening\u201d ; it is a deliciously flavored and highly nutrition^ food.It gives a new zest to cereals and makes plain old-fashioned dishes as appetizing as they used to be in the days of our ancestors.Lantic Brown Sugars come in three varieties\u2014Ligh t Brilliant and Dark Yellow and are packed in bbls.and 100-lb.bags, from which your grocer will give >ou as much or as little as you want.Send 2c.stamp for our new booklet \u201cGrandmother\u2019s Recipes\".Tells how to use brown sugar and howto keep it fresh and moist.ATLANTIC SUGAR REFINERIES LIMITED MONTREAL\t3 ST.FRANCIS 1 (Continued from Page 2) iHunt, Clown; Kenneth Currier, Clown; | j Douglas Bowen, Hobo; Chester Da-t jmon, Brownie; Wendall Damon.Far-! jmer; Emmet Learned, Sambo; Ches-j I ter Stone, Scout; Leon Belivcau,; I Schoolgirl; Kenneth Thompson, Sail-) or; Raymond Grégoire, C.Chaplin;; George Halliday, \u201cShe;\u201d Leonard Mc-i Gilton, Cadet; W.Dick, Cadet.HATLEY appendicitis.Mrs.B.W.Jenkerson and Mrs.H.Kidd were guests of Mrs.Jameson, at Ascot.Miss Gertrude Tite, of Sherbrooke, was home here for a few days ; Mr.and Mrs.T.E.Evans wont to Thet-ford,guests of Rev.and Mrs.E.De Gruchy.Mr.R.Pearce, of Sherbrooke, visited his grandmother, Mrs.J.Bentley, recently.Mrs.H.Scowcn, little Marjorie and Master Philip were at Bury recently, guests of Mrs.Keyns.RANDBORO Mrs.T.B.Seale, of Bulwer, was the guest of her daughter, Mrs.T.Morrison, and other relatives for a few days.Mr.Albert Belivcau.of Angus, spent the week-end with his parents.Miss Florence Parrish, and Mr.R.Parrish, of Stewartstown, N.H., were guests of Mr.and Mrs.C.E.Speck the usual games and merrymaking,) for a few days.The monthly social evening which was held under the auspices of the j Epworth League in the vestry o' the ; Methodist Church on Tuesday, was) largely attended by the young people; of the community, and proved to be a very pleasant affair.In addition to' BURY Mr.Roy Ellis, of Newport, Vt,, is in town, spending a few days, visiting relatives and friends.Mr.Morrow, of Montana, guest of bis brother, Mr.David Morrow.-ÆVOID COUGHS and COUGHERif! a short musical programme was ren dered and refreshments served.On Tuesday evening, February 11, a mid-winter dancing assembly will I be held in Foresters\u2019 Hall by a few| of the young men of the vicinity.Le-( Baron\u2019s five-piece orchestra, of Sherbrooke, will furnish music for the occasion.Refreshments will be served during the evening.Another of the popular \u201c500\u201d parties will be given on Wednesday evening in the Guild Hall by the ladies of St.James\u2019 Guild.Mrs.F.W.Pope is able to be out after a severe illness.Mr.W.J.Whitcomb and young son.Stanley, are recovering from an illness; of several days., Mr:.Jones, of Ayer's Cliff, has been for a few days at the home of her brother, Mr.O.H.Glidden.Mrs.McDougall, of The Fir:, is spending a month in Montreal.Rev.A.F.Shorten is at homo after a short visit at his former home in; Sawyerville.\ti Mrs.H.W.Perry has returned to her home in Derby, Vt.after a few! days with Mrs.M.W.LeBaron and other friends.Mrs.James Berry has returned to) her home in Lynn, Mass., after several weeks at her old home.Mrs.E.Whitcomb, who has been for) a short time at the home of her son,; Mr.W.J.Whitcomb, has returned to!
