Rev. J. H. Osterhout, B.A., B.D.,
was called to Thedford on Monday to
attend the funeral of Mrs. Hugh Stev
enson. Mr. Osterhout buried Mrs.
Stevenson’s husband some 8 years ago
when he was pastor of the Thedford
Circuit, and the old lady requested
that he be secured to attend her fun
eral. Mr. and Mrs. Osterhout made
the trip by motor. They report plenty
of peaches rotting in the orchards
around Thedford. There is also a fine
crop of celery there.
WHEN NATURE IS TOO KIND
A car-load of peaches received in
town this week retailed at 65cts. per
basket of eleven quarts. This must
be just about the cost of handling the
fruit from the tree to the consumer.
Parties who visited the peach district
below Grand Bend, last week say that
large quantities of choice peaches
were rotting on the trees and on the
ground there. The explanation was
that it wasn’t worth while to buy
baskets, to gather, pack and ship the
fruit. It seems rather unfortunate
that such fine fruit should go to
waste while so many people, not many
miles away will not have all they
want. However, it’s nobody’s fault.
The fruit is so abundant that it is
practically valueless on the tree, and
the owner cannot be expected to for
ward it to the consumers at a loss.
Baskets, picking and transportation
all cost much more than they did a
few years ago.

THE BASEBALL SITUATION
It would seem as though amateur
baseball in Western Ontario is due for
a general cleaning up. At the recent
meeting of the N.W.B.A., officials at
Listowel protested the Wingham vic
tory against Goderich, and in conse
quence of the disclosures which result
ed both teams were suspended leaving
Palmerston and Lucan to meet to
gether in the finals. Since then ugly
rumors have been current of false
affidavits, crooked games and “fram
ed” victories. Just how much truth
there is in these whispered charges it
is difficult to determine. But for the
honour of the town and the good
name of the amateur sport in general
it looks as though it were up to the
local officials to come out in the open
and make a clear, and frank avowal
of the situation as it affects Wingham
and the Wingham team. At present
the evidence so far disclosed smells to
heaven of rank professionalism. Sure
ly the community *-i worthy of some
thing infinitely better, of a higher
and more rigid code of sportsmanship
of a reputation for playing the game
which will help to restore the name of
amateur to its former good standing.

The Goderich Star is running a col
umn of news notes taken from its files
of 40 years ago. Last week it had,
under the heading: “Lucknow Had
Great Caledonian Games,” the follow
ing: “The most enthusiastic Caledon
ian could hardly have hoped, at the in
ception of Lucknow’s society, eight
years ago, that their annual games
would ever have attained the propor
tions of the show last Wednesday.
That a village of 1,800 inhabitants
should be able to secure an attendance
of 10,000 people in one day means a
host of unusual attractions and a spir
it of energy and enterprise on the
part of the managers not often found.
Lucknow is Scotch, and when its cit
izens undertake to celebrate the mem
ory of Burns or the Caledonian games
there are few who are not willing to
lend a helping hand. Perhaps the
principal attraction was the presence
of Donald Dinnie, the Scotch champ
ion, and D. C. Ross, champion of Am
erica; but Archie Scott, of Brussels,
M. MacDonald, of Toronto, and sever
al others proved themselves athletes
■of splendid powers. The large num
bers in full Highland dress, and the
profusion of tartan plaids and Scotch
bonnets made a picturesque scene
long to be remembered/’

The School Fair.—The West Wa-
wanosh School Fair held here on Fri
day afternoon of last week scored an
other great success, being even better
than the one of a year ago. There
must have been a thousand people on
the grounds, and very great interest
was manifested. There was a long list
of entries and almost everything of
home production from cattle to girls’
fancy work was on exhibition. The
parade and drills were well done.
The first prize in this contest went to
the Fordyce School, of which Miss
Mackenzie, of Lochalsh, is teacher.
If these school fairs keep on growing
the old-time agricultural societies
■will have to look to their laurels. We
cannot give the lits of prize-winners
as this was in charge of the County
representative, with headquarters at
Clinton.

Committee had charge t f the pro

evening. Miss Winnifred Douglas read
the Scripture Lesson; Mrs. Robert
Douglas and Mrs. J. G. Murdoch fav
ored the meeting with a duette; three
little girls gave a chorus, and read
ing's were given by Miss Martha Mac-
Callum, Miss Jean McClure and Mrs.

and a very good paper on this sub
ject was prepared by Miss Murdie.
A most enjoyable time was spent
last Monday night in the Sunday
School room of the Methodist Church,
which was beautifully decorated for
the occasion, when the Epworth Lea

town and the High School students.
There were about 120 present, and all

served and all the students vot?d that
they had had a splendid time.

THE CONCERT WAS GOOD
The concert given Wednesday even
ing of last week, under auspices of
the Fire Co., as an entertainment
turned out to be an A.l affair. From
start to finish the audience was never
kept waiting, and there wasn’t a dull
minute. Jim Fax has the rare faculty
of being humorous without ever being
vuigar or rough. Fax has been on the
stage so long that folk think that he
must now be an old man. If he is he
doesn’t show it, except when fixed up
for that purpose. He must be of the
kind that never looked young and
will never look old. Charles Stanley,
who is a splendid baritone won the
crowd with his first song. So far as
we know, he is compartively new on
the concert platform, but he is in the
front rank, and has few superiors.
The two ladies were very good too.
being able to take quite a variety of
parts and do them well.
The hall was about two-thirds full
so that there would not be a great
deal of money in it for the Fire Co.
Another concert by the Bob Wilson
Company will be given on October 12.
This is also reputed to be a very good
organization.
ATTENTION !
THIS DEALS WITH YOUR EYE
SIGHT
What is more important than your
eyesight?
Have your school children’s eyes
properly fitted' with glasses for this
term’s work.
Eye strain causes lack of memory
and thus causes a child to appear dull
and stupid in school, whereas if the
eyestrain is removed by properly fit
ted Lenses, that same child will be
bright and intelligent, thus savin"
both children and parents worry.
Eyestrain also causes a great strair
on the nervous system, affecting th'
nerves, causing children to be peevish
and irritable.
Keen vision is no indication that
eyes are normal, in fact statistics
have shown that 85 per cent, of al1
eyes have hypernormal vision—that is
vision keener than normal, thus caus
ing strain on eyes, also a great strain
on nervous system.
Eyestrain also causes headaches,
dry, itchy eyes, styes,'■tumors on eye
lids, granulated eyelids, inflamed eyes
and watery eyes.
Short Consultation Free. Satisfac
tion assured.
