WOMEN'S INSTITUTE,- The annual
meeting of tbe Women's Institute was
held. on Meaaternoon of June Ist# at
the residence of Mre. Jas. Catnpbell,
when the election, or re-election, of
officers took place. Those 'for the com-
ing year are as follows : Mrs. Speak-
nsan, Pres.; Miss Rose .Snowden, let
Vice-Presa Miss -E. McEwen, and Vice;
Miss M. Campbell, Sec.-Treas. The
Secretary's report, showed ten meet-
ings held during the year, with an
Average attendance of eight, exclusive
of visitors. Out of a membership of
SO; this average is very small, and it
was felt' by the meeting that it was
scarcely fair that those who never at-
tend a meeting should .eeeeive the
same benefits as those who attend and
who have all the work to do in contuse --
tion with getting the shrubs and bulbs,
consequently it bylaw was passed to
the -effect that reeinbers who do not at-
tend at least four meetings in the year,
unless prevented bysickness or some
other unavoidable circumstance. shall
not receive the benefits of the Society.
This law goes itao effect now, at the
beginning of the Institute year, The
Treasurer's; report showed about $6 in
the treasury. Plans were discussed for
the Cooking Demonstration. which is
to be held in the Town Hall, on the
afternoon of June Zee The subjects
for demonstration are "Economy in
,Small Things" and "Salads" by Mise
13 Medan, and a taik by, Mrs. Watts,
Olintote on the "Care of rade, Rands
and Mit" and "Hints for Women who
work." There will be an afternoon
session only, the craning session hay-
ing been dispensed with this year.
The tnembees of the society will fur-
nish a free lunch, to which all are in-
vited to remain. Gentlemen as well
as ladies are welcome to visit the dem-
onstration. -M, E. CARMEL-Ls Seoy.

unprofitable experience on Thursday

wagon heavily laden with egg boxes,
when one ot the axle clips broke; let-
ting the wagon run into the ditch and
upsetting, breaking about sixty-five
dozen eggssand slightly damaging the
wagon. Wesley had the presence of
mind to jump from the wagon and
hold on to the horses; and both escaped
.unhurt.

Frauds on Farmers
Monday night High County Cons
stable Boyle of St. Catharines arrested
Arthur Smith of Hillcrest Farm,
Beachville, upon the • charge of Ob-
taining money under false pretence:at
with intent to defraud. The onset
Wile made a,t the instigation of E. G. '
Hull & Sons, nurserymen of St. Oath-
arines, who claim they have sent
money to Smith Bros., Beethville, for
a shipment of seed potatoes which.
were never forwarded. Smith ware
taken to Se Vatherines this morning.
The arrest discloses. it strange story:
The First National Co -Operative Soc-
iety of Woodstock have spread adver-
tisements broadcast, advertising
everything you eat, wear or use at.
wholesale prices. There were no
offices of the society nor was it known, -
and many of the letters were sent to
Mw dead -letter office. Others, how-
ever, found their way to Smith. The
mails were used extensively, and a
postoffice official was sent to investi-
gate. ' •
Among the aavertisenients was one
of seed potatoes that so'd at $7,000 at
stone. No arrests were made until"
last night, when the county officers. .
went to Bartel -mill% An examination
of the premises of the prisoner reveal-
ed nothing of the advertised goods
except a few strawberry plants.
[We are sorry to say that the Nwidr
MtA, with other papers, has been
duped itself in this matter, and WOW'
sibly was the innocent cause of °there
being duped.]
