is EASTER MOTHER OF VANITY.
(By Winifred Sackville Stoner.)
To pray, to fast, and to repent
Are woman's duties during Lent,
Instead, while free from social care
She plans for Easter-what she'll
wear
4 large chapeau with feathers high
at price of which she heaves sigh;
Or better still littel bonnet
That has pearls and lace upon it.
To man Lent brings no peace nor rest,
For he must ever keep in quest
OF gold to pay for Easter Bonnet
With ribbons, pearls and lace upon it.
Oh Vanity which rules our earth,
Did Easter Season give you birth?
From 1.-THE Southland.

w. +. Winter for Mayor

Langdon's municipal campaign opens
this week with the announcement made
by Mr.. W. Winter of his candidacy for
mayor, the formal letter of
ment appearing on our editorial page.
Up to date thcre is nc opposition in
sight. In successfully inducing Mr..
Winter to allow his name to be brought
before the voters it is thought that the
right step has been taken to bring an
end to fractional differences in the ad-
ministration of Langdon's municipal af-
fairs. Mr.. Winter besides possessing a
wide acquaintance with business affairs
has a personality that gives che best
possible endorsement to his candidacy.
as a man who makes a success of his
personal affairs may pretty generally be
depended on to make good in looking
a city's welfare. There should be no
pulling apart or jealous disharmony
in the city election of Langdon this
spring with W. f. Winter at the head
of the ticket for mayor

Fire is reported as having destroyed
the house and buildings on the Thos.
Bennington farm in Perry township
Tuesday night of this week. The
family have been living in Iona since
the recent death of Mr.. Bennington, the
farm property being left in charge of a
hired man. No particulars have been
learned regarding the origin of the fire.
On Tuesday came the initial scrap of
a year of political battles. The civil
townships and incorporated villages held
their elections. Also the ~aucus or
primaries naming delegates for the demo
cratic county convention being held in
Langdon today-occurred in the various
voting precincts of the county on
Tuesday afternoon.
Blanche Murphy was the star for the
visitors and succeeded in making Ia
points. Gladys Halliday for Milton
made l6 and was closely followed by
Edith Dahl with 8. The feature of the
game was the guarding of the Milton
girls, the Langdon forwards not throw
ing a single point. To the credit of the
visitors it may be said that they played
a clean game and gave us a pretty good
rub.--Mllton Globe.

The mission of a brass band in a
community is for good. Perhaps no
other single feature can contribute so
much to a towns life and pleasure. This
being a fact, it is but just that a band
should be looked upon, in a measure, as
a public institution, and this view makes
its success a matter of interest to every
citizen. Glance for a moment at the
usefulness of a brass band: A celebra-
ton of any kind is tame indeed without
its inspiring strains. Not only does
every holiday aud campaign speak
urgently for its utility, but other
occasions, some joyful, others of deepest
sorrows, find in martial music the only
adequate auxiliary. Its mission NAV
truly be said to express in musical tones
the voice of the people. In this con-
nection attention is directed to the fact
that the Langdon band give another of
their popular concerts shortly after
Easter.
