The Janies St. Epworth League
held a social evening on Tuesday last
The W.C.T.D. held their regular
monthly meeting in James Street
Chui'ch on Monday afternoon. Miss
Murray, the president presiding, The
Evangelistic Superintendent Mrs,
Amy, conducted the devotional exer
cises. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read ad adopted, A
letter of appreciation was read from
Mrs. Mollard for the messages of re
membrance she had received from
the Union.
It was resolved that the following
letter be- sent to our Federal mem
ber:
Mr, Thomas McMillan, Seaforth,
Dear Sir;
“Oh, hello Jack! When did
you come to town?”
Buras had recognized the
cheery voice of an old friend
over the telephone.
But Jack was speaking from
his home one hundred miles
away. He had given “Long
Distance” the distant tele
phone number, and she had
connected him at once,
while he held the line.
Nothing extraordinary
about this. Quick Long Dis
tance service is now practi
cally universal. In most
cases, connection is made
while you remain at the
telephone.
Giving the distant telephone
number speeds up the ser
vice. We shall gladly look
up for you the distant num
bers you frequently call.
We are informed that a
man who attends the C. M.
in this town is in the habit

RAPID EXPANSION
PROGRAM OF WESTERN FAIR
Puts It Into the Forefront. of
Canadian Exhibitions
The best proof of the popularity
of the Western Fair is in the thou
sands of people who flock «to it in
everincreasing* number every year.
Some come for instruction—to see
what the other fellow is doing—
others for entertainment; some out
of curiousity—but all come for a
good time Old-timer meets old-
timer; friends renew acquaintances;
families make it a reunion—it’s the
gathering place of Western Ontario-
and almost ’everyone is there.
This year will be the ^Ist con
secutive exhibition of the Western
Fair and by far the largest and big
gest exhibition it has ever held.
In the matter „of progress that of
the Fair has always been exception
al, but during the past three years
it has been phenomenal. Exhibitis
has increased both in number and
size entertainment facilities have
doubled, visitors have grown to al
most unheard of numbers until the
Western Fair stands out to the fore
front of Canadian Exhibitions.
Probably the most impressing evi
dences of the Fair’s progress is the
number of fine buildings that have
been lately erected. These buildings
are fine examples of the latest in
exhibitional architecture and include
the Manufacturers* Building, the
Confederation Building and the Live
Stock Arena, all of which will be
centres of great interest during the
coming exhibition of the week of
Sept. 8 to Sept. 15.
The Western Fair Board has made
arrangements to receive the larg
est crowds in history and have lann-
ed a rogram that does not leave a
dull moment during the whole week.
There are many things to interest
everyone, young and old, and no one
will attend this year’s Western Fair
that does not profit in knowledge
and education gairted through many
happy hours, |
