GOSPEL MEETINGS The four walls of the banquet hall of the Masonic Lodge are mute evi dence of the artistic ability of Rex ford Ostrander, and the portraits that are resulting from his deft touch are really astonishing to those who have viewed his work. The majority of the paintings have Masonic significance, while others are landscape scenes. AU are quite cdlorful and posses a pleasing blend ing o£ shades. The pictures, painted on^. buff background on the upper haj ol the walls of the room, are certainly well worth seeing. Rexford, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Garlield Ostrander, is doing the work purely for the love of it and to ac quire practise in this line. The paintings, twelve or 1$ of them cover the entire wall, and have been i d°ne Principally during the past month and mostly in Rex’s spare time. So modest is this promising young artist that his chief concern is that probably the cost of the crayons that he is using will cost the Lodge too much. Incidentally Rexford uses an ordinary crayon, such as used in school, costing a mere 5c per box. Rexford is also quite adept at oil paintings and has several fine speci- mois of his work at his home. His Wart in this work, he possesses a natural ability for it, and under a proper tutor Rexford may yet make asname for himself in this line. \--------- --------------- INTERESTING PICTURE OF BOBBY McCALLUM A picture in Monday’s Globe crea ted considerable interest locally. Bobby, 3% year old grandson of Mrs. Robert McCallum of town spent the summer at the McCallum cottage at Point Clarke. The camera caught Bobby in a cute picture as he was deeply engrossed in “reading” the political news in the Globe like “Daddy Jim.” WANTED MARRIAGE LICENSE, BOUGHT A GUN LICENSE High pressure salesmen have nothing on ’Constable Moore, who last week was applied to for a mar riage license and being unable to fill the order, proceeded to sell Dame Cupid’s victim, a gun license. Whether the wedding hells that were “ringing” so loudly here last Thursday, hid anything to do with this sale or not, one cannot tell, but it was during the festivities of this occasion that a young couple from a neighboring town made application to Constable Moore for the document that would permit them to make the fatal leap. Unable to accomodate this “nice young couple” as they appeared to Mr. Moore to be, the latter solicited the aid of the village clerk, to sup ply them with a license, but alas, Cupid has b£en so busy here in re cent weeks, that the clerk was fresh out of the legal forms. Upon learning this, Mr. Moore in formed the intended groom that the only license he | could get in Luck now that day was a gun license, and pronto he purchased one from the flabergasted Chief and left for an other centre to procure the marriage license. LLOYD ACKERT ELIGIBLE FOR COUNTY CONTEST Young Lloyd Ackert, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Ackert of Holyrood, and public speaking winner at Kin- loss school fair, will have the oppor tunity of competing in the annual public speaking contest, under the auspices of the Bruce Educational As sociation, to be held at Cargill on Friday, October 25t'h, at 8 p.m. The subject of Lloyd’s speach given at Holyrood was “What I Saw at the Toronto Exhibition.” This is a championship contest open to the first prize winners of the rural school fairs in townships where school fairs are held, and the first prize winner of a public speaking contest in other municipalities. ‘Splendid prizes will be given, first prize an Elgin watch, second a Wat erman pen and pencil set, third, a Waterman pen, and a special recog nition pin to each of the contestants.

ARMSTRONG’S Eyesight Service Harold Greer, exhibited a cluster of tomatoes, the end of the week, which has been on display at Thompson’s store and will be hard to beat. Closely bunched on a single stalk are seven large green tomatoes that average more than three-quar ters of a pound each for combined weight of 5% pounds. The tomatoes, pulled while quite green, are of the beefsteak variety and are smooth and well formed, and offer a striking example of mass production in vege tables. New Creitonsx Chintz, Draperies.

Former Lucknow Merchant Passes 4 Weeks After Suffering Stroke— To Be Buried Here Friday. With little hope held for his re covery since suffering a severe par alytic seizure four weeks ago, the death of Mr. D. R. McIntosh occur red in Southampton on Wednesday morning. The funeral service will be held in the Presbyterian Church, Luck now, under Masonic auspices, on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, with interment in Greenhill cemetery. , Mr. McIntosh for years, was a prominent resident of the village, conducting a drygoods and grocery business here and acting for many years as secretary of the schoolboard. Several years ago he moved to Southampton where Mrs. McIntosh, formerly Henrietta Andison, passed away in 1930. Mr. McIntosh frequen tly visited in Lucknow, since leaving here, and was one who was always heartily welcomed back by a v^ide circle of friends. With the passing of “D. R.”, Mrs. Jack Clark (Birdie) of Southampton, is the lone survivor of the McIntosh family. Early in the century, extreme sorrow entered this home when in August 1903, a daughter, Ethel Maud, 20 years of age, passed away and in July 1905, exactly two years, less a month later, another daughter Lyla Kate, 18 years of age, died sud denly in Toronto. , Lucknow’s firs^ political meeting ' of the federal campaign was held on Tuesday night, when upwards to three hundred attended the meeting that was late ini starting, but that kept the audienci keenly interested as several exponents of the Liberal party spoke until the approach oi midnight. The meeting was in the interests of R. J. Deachman, North Huron and Bruce candidate, >oth of whom were present, and sj oke. Malcolm, who has for the past 15 j jars, and is forced to retire on acct tint of his health, was given a rou (ing welcome upon his late arrival. Mr. J. G. the meeting, expl; eolm had given a address in Teest ater the evening that had io the utmost. N Mr. Malcolm took an Tuesday nighl his successor, ir ___, l'omlinson, who 1 as the four-square support of Mr. M; Icolm it was stated Will Negotiate , Mr. Deachman,. ience that with | Mr. and Mrs. Norman Wilson, re cent newlyweds, were the recipients of an attractive silver water pitcher which was presented them on Satur day evening by the employees of the Lucknow Table Co. On behalf of the employees, Mr. Adam Bowman spoke a few words and Mr. Charles Cook made the presentation when they called at the Wilson home as the representatives of the staff of employees. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, needless to say, much appreciated the gift and desire to recognize the thoughtful ness of Mr. Wilson’s fellow-workers in so kindly remembering them.

Trade Treaties assured his aud- the election of a Liberal government, trade treaties with the United States will be arran ged that will not elt'ect Empire trade. Laying many of the economics ills that beset Canada, at the door Of the Bennett Government, Mr. Deachman said “You cannot hope to get any relief from that fellow.” It is relief from protection you need. Trade will grow, he said, if, you re duce the impediments; '’as long as there is a variation of production costs in different countries. Farm prices find their level on the open maiket, but under the protective measures of the Bennett administra tion farm prices have “gone down in the elevator,” while manufactured goods has gone down the stairs re sulting in a disastrous spread and a decline in the value of agricultural products of 250 million dollars in 5 years. Admitting Mr. Bennett’s sincerity Mr. Deechman said his policies were perfectly stupid and had resulted in progress in only one line—unem ployment, which had increased in 5 years to 4% for every one unemploy ed in 1930. Beware Of Autocracy The election of October 14th, is a most monentous one, said ’ Hon. James Malcolm, in thatjit will deter mine if we are to govern ourselves or be governed by autocratic control as during the past five years. This he warned against referring to Ger many, Italy and Russia, where 250 million persons are under the abso lute control of a trio of dictators. McKenzie King, he told his aud ience, never moves without the sanc tion of his Cabinet andr members of the House. The Liberal policy stands for the rentention of the individual right to market and buy goods with as few restrictions as possible. Recalling Mr. Bennett’s unfulfilled promises of 1930, he quoted the pro verb, “If a man fools you once, shame on him; if he fools you twice shame on you.” “Stevens Disgruntled Tory” Mr. Malcolm referred to Hon. Harry Stevens as a self-chosen, one man party—a disgruntled Tory, who couldn’t get the leadership and started a party of hfe own. Mr. Malcolm disclosed the inside infor mation that lead up teethe Bennett- Stevens break. “I haven’t the slight est doubt,” he said, “if Mr. Bennett had been compelled to resign and Mr. Stevens chosen as his successor, that there would be no'3rd party.” Mr. Malcolm ridiculed Mr. Ben nett’s recent statement in Vancouver that tariffs and trade treaties held no importance in this election. What we want, said Mr. Malcolm amid applause are “broader;.markets for our goods that our people can be happy.” He cited trade figures of 26 hund red million dollars, during the King administration of which he was Minister of Trade and Commerce. Under the Bennett Government with Stevens holding that position, trade figures dropped to less than 9 hund red million and since-. Mr. Stevens gave up his Cabinet position, trade figures have increased ’to 12 hund red million dollars, still less than half whaft they were during the King re gime. Pledged To Low Tariffs Mr. W. IR. Tomlinson, Bruce can didate ,in speaking briefly, stated he was pledged to a policy of low tar iffs that would seek to make new trade agreements. A King govern ment will establish a National Com mission to deal with unemployment, (Continued on. Page 4) BEAUTIFUL TEACHERS All Windsor teachers are beauti ful, says school inspector J. E. Ben son of that city, and to prove it, the Windsor Daily Star pictures a group of ten school marms, which bears out the inspector’s contention. In cluded in the group is Miss Dorothy McQuillin of Prince of Wales school, daughter of Mr. John McQuillin of West Wawanosh. Spectacular Pony Riding Will Thrill Fair Crowd Scotch Dancing Will Also Be Fea ture tof Friday Afternoon.—New Comedy Has Been Prepared By Anglican Dramatic Society And Claimed To Be The Funniest They Have Ever Produced—Staged Two Nights “Apple Blossom Time” a brand new comedy, and claimed to be the funniest they have yet staged, has been especially gotten up by the Anglican Dramatic Society for the evening entertainment at the Fall Fair, this Thursday and Friday- In order to accomodate the mon ster fair crowds, the play will be staged twice—to-night and to-mor- row night.

The Friday night performance will be followed by a dance. Show Day Attractions A feature attraction on Friday af ternoon, will be a spectacular dis play of pony riding. A young teen age Brodie lad from near Nile will give a performance of riding and hurdle jumping that is claimed to be remarkable. Standing up, with a leg on each of his ponies, the lad will go over about a four foot hur dle. He has his ponies trained to perfection and what he can do with them, can only be realized by seeing it. Lucknow’s two bands will be on the grounds throughout the day and to the tune of the pibroch, 6 Highland lassies will give a display of Scotch dancing. Lucknow’s stock show is too weil known to need further enlarging up on, and if advance entries are any criterion, the local Society’s 70th ex hibition will be a highly successful one. Entries in the Boys Foal, Calf and Grain Clubs will feature the exhibits. All that is need to round out the event successfully is favorable wea ther and a bumper crowd. Come to the fair, Friday.
