Furthermore, it is an­ nounced by the Postoffice Department the excise stamps for this purpose will not be sold at postoffices. This, it is contended, would lead to confusion, as postal matter might be mailed with excise stamps instead of with the correct postal stamps. The excise stamps are to be sold at banks “and I such other places as may be designed by the Department of Customs and Excise.” On money orders and postal notes the war tax will continue to be paid by affixing postage stamps. tSAisEHAkuL •. pp«-.Ta’.-pr 'Livewnow pi'ar ~ Tn Gairne, arm Chamninnship Still Unsettled Gn TAor.day of this week Tcc3- wai ei . nd Lucknow were at last fav­ ored with a fine day for a game which ail fans expected to be the real “final.” But it wasnfi. Both reams played well and the result at the end of the “ninth” was a tie— 4-4. It was getting’ dark, an extra innings could not be played, so the teams must play here again. Umpires often are denounced as “rotten” and this time they really seem to have deserved it. They did not understand the game, and one was no better than the other. Their only redeeming feature was that they were impartial, giving as “rotten” decisions to one team as to the other. Their work was so bad’ as to spoil the game for the spectators, some leaving the park in disgust. •The result of this tie is that the teams will have to meet here again on Tuesday of next week, the game to commence at 3.30 so that a de­ cision may be reached. -----o—o----- WHITECHURCH Mr. Roy Paton is spending his vac­ ation at New York.

The topic for the evening was “Why We Are Unhappy, grid The Cure,” which was ably dealt with by Miss Mary Connell. Several short papers were given by some of the Guldites, bear­ ing- on the tope. Miss Phemie Irving gave an appropriate reading. A solo oy Mrs. Horace Aitcheson, and a duet by Misses Mary Aitcheson and Mar­ tha MacCallum were much appreciat­ ed.

Delegates were ap­ pointed to the Conference League Convention in St. Mary’s, and the pastor announced that the Wingham District Epworth League Convention will be held in Lucknow on Nov. 7th. NEGRO TROOP DREW RATHER SLIM HOUSE The “Sunny South” Company of colored entertainers which played here Monday night drew only about half a houseful, the public evidently think­ ing the price (80c.) a little too high for a “darkie” show; besides there were two good concerts billed for the end of the week. As with other- shows, some liked while others didn’t like it. It seemed to us to be a kind that is getting out of date excepting with certain city elements. The manager said that he had found Western Ont­ ario rather poor territory, he had been doing better in the American cities. He went from here to Kincar­ dine. Hanover, Arthur and Chatham, after which he hoped to move south of the line again. They have to keep going as expenses are $175.00 per day. There are 20 in the troop, so that hotel bills and railways fare count up. There was one rather ex­ traordinary man in the number—a tall negro, as souple as an ell. He showed some wonderful stunts. Among others turning the upper part of his body facing squarely north while his toes pointed south. The manager said he was one of the best of his kind on the continent. CREWE Monday, Sept. 24th.

Another Barn Fire.—John Hogan, a farmer living a short distance west of Kintail village, had his barn and the season’s crop completely destroy­ ed by fire on Saturday evening of last week. Threshing was under way at the time, when, without warning, a mass of burning straw and chaff was shot out of the straw-blower, coming out like a ball of fire. Before men could realize what had happened the whole inside of the barn was a mass of flame, so that nothing could be saved, some of the men having diffi­ culty in getting out in time. The threshing separator, owned by Mr. Green, of Port Albert, was burned along with everything else in the barn and basement. The loss to Mr. Hogan is quite heavy and only partly cover­ ed by insurance. It seems that more than a dozen barns in Western Ont­ ario have been set on fire and burned in this same way this season, in At least one case a man who had been in the straw mow, being burned to death. The theory of the origin of these fires is that twine and straw wind about a shaft near a bearing, becomes heated through friction, and finally becoming ignited it it freed from the shaft and passes out through the blower. To those familiar with threshing operations, it is easy to understand the rapid spreading of the fire. A curious feature is that so many such fires should occur this season, while (so far as we know) none were previously reported. The question may be worth asking: “Is there anything in the twine used this season which makes it more liable to become wound about the shafts, or has anything been used in the making of the twine which makes it more inflamable than formerly ? or is there anything about the construction of some separators which makes such an accident likely?” CULROSS CENTRE Monday, September 24th. Despite the rather disagreeable day last Thursday, Culross School Fair was a fine success. S.S. No. 5 carried off first prize in the School Parade. The boys and girls were dressed as farmer lads and lassies, the boys car­ rying hoes, while the girls carried milk pails. The banner was white and red decorated with haws and wheat. They sang “We’re Jolly Farmer Lads and Lassies,” and went through mo­ tions suitable to the song. The pupils, 16 in number, received 19 prizes and 81 points. We congratulate our teach­ er, Miss-Johnston and her pupils on their success. ■--------0----0-------- The people in this world are so much alike that if you find fault with one you will hit a hundred.
