FALL FAIR NEXT WEEK
Wingham Fall Fair will be held
Wednesday and Thursday next week.
#The directors and officers of the
Turnberry Agricultural Society have
made extensive preparations for this
t>ig show and all is ready for a re
cord fair,
This year two trials of speed will
be held besides the many other at
tractions. The horse show is in itself
worth the price of admission. If the
fair is not entirely successful, is it
your fault? Did you attend? Did you
have any exhibits? Did you donate
to it in any way?
There is yet time to do all these
things and make your fair the success
it should be.
Plan to meet and greet
friends at Wingham Fair.
* sk sk *WHb SHOULD EXHIBIT?
Some Fair Boards have made a
ruling that all exhibits of Ladies’
work must be made by a person re
siding within fifteen miles of their
town. . ,
The idea back of this is that there
are those who excel in this work and
make a practice of going from fair
to' fair exhibiting their handiwork.
To exclude this class of exhibitor is,
we believe, a mistake. If this work
is such that it wins prizes then it will
have a great educational value. At
the same time it is reasonable to pro
tect local exhibitors and to overcome
any trouble in this regard, it might
be a good plan for fair boards to
have separate classes for their dis
trict exhibitors.
To manage a fair is a trying task
and this is just one of the many
problems that the directors have to
consider.*

Ever Wonder Why
You’re Constipated?
Dp you ever have days when you
just have to drag yourself along,
when you feel tired, sunk-be-
cause of that constipation? Then
why not find out the real cause
of your trouble?
WViat ftdwe yptt had to pat
lately? Just things like meat,
byead and potatoes? If that’s it,
ypu may not have to look any
farther. It’s likely your trouble is
you don’t get enough “bziZk." And
“bulk” doesn’t mean a lot of food.
It means a kind of food that isn’t
consumed in the body, but leaves
a soft “bulky” mass in the intes
tines and aids elimination.
If “bulk” is what you lack, your
ticket is a dish of crisp crunchy

Seaforth council authorized the
purchase of a stoker for the town

would result in a big fuel saving.
Council had considered the purchase
of a stoker on previous occasions, but
no action had been taken. The model
decided on was smaller than that now
in use in the public school. The es

Hand Cut by Axe at Fordwich
Joseph Davidson met with a pain
ful accident while assisting in repair
ing a rail fence. He was holding a
stake while his son, McKee David
son, was driving it with an axe, the
stake split from the force of a blow
turning the sharp edge of the axe
downward, striking Mr. Davidson
across the back of the left hand, in
flicting a wound which required four
stitches to close.
Had Narrow Escape
William H. Reid, son-in-law of
Charles' A. Robertson, M.L.A., had a

bruises he was not injured.
A 17-Year-Old Toad?
When the old frost casing at
water tower was removed the other
day, a toad was found built into the
structure near the top, outside the
water pipe. When removed it jump
ed to the ground below, and was very
much alive. It is 17 years since the
casing was constructed at the instal
lation of the waterworks system, and
there seems every reason to believe
that it was only during the construc
tion that the toad could have gotten
into the place in which it was found.

MAKING CANADA
A Better Place in Which to Live and Work
A Series of Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problems
Affecting'the Future Welfare of Canada
Specially Written for Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association
LETTER NO. 22
Dear Sir:
In asking me to offer any sugges
tion that would assist the rural week
ly newspapers jn making Canada a
better place in which to live and
work, you are giving me a rather
large order.
Localism is perhaps one of the be
setting sins of the weekly newspaper,
as of most f>f our local communities.
It would seem to me that one of the
greatest contributions that a weekly
could make would be to give the peo
ple a better understanding of the
world in which we all must live,
(a) A better understanding of peo
ple. We in this country are coming
to be quite heterogeneous. It is very
easy to play up the native-born and
to play down foreign immigrants,
very easy to set Orangemen against
Catholics and visa versa; not so easy
to get each group to understand the
other. Further the world today is
shrinking. It took some of our an
cestors nearly three months to cross;
the Atlantic, now it can be crossed
in about a day, Our knowledge of
the various nations has not kept pace
With this growing proximity. It is
still easy to start up racial animosity
that may lead to war,
(b) We need a better understand
ing of modern movements* political
and otherwise. It is perhaps inevit
able that in the heat of an election
campaign the iiwl parties present
their own points of view as strongly
as possible, Sutely between election
there ought to be some opportunity
for an OPEN FORUM in which var
ious groups will have the opportunity
of presenting their distinctive policies
and points of view. We cannot .get
rid of movements that we do not like
simply by ignoring or denouncing
them. We must ^understand them.
(c) We should have a better un
derstanding of modern economic de
velopments. We Canadians are only
onfe or two generations removed from
early pioneer life. Our ideals are Still
largely close to the pioneers. Our
policies tend to .lag behind, yet in
reality we must work out our destin
ies in a highly complex industrial so
ciety, Surely every citizen should
have some little knowledge of the ac
tual world in which he lives. I some
times put it that there are two ques-'
tions we could all learn to answer—
“How did We get this way,” and
“Where do we go* from here?”
I would suggest that without
tempting anything sensational
Spectacular you could carry out
suggestions, to use your own phrase
“in a quiet, effective, and practical
way?*

Freakish Com
When Albert Clark of West Gara-
fraxa was looking through his patch
of table corn, he found a freak that
is surely unique. There was one big
cob in the centre, surrounded by five
other cobs. Three of the five were
of a fair size, being three-quarters as
long as the big one, but the other
two were small. Each of the five out
side cobs had only four rows of ker
nels, but otherwise they were well
formed.—Fergus News-Record.

Old Railway Bonds Burned"
Mayor J. F. Marcus journeyed to
Toronto to witness a $50,000 fire. Of
all Kincardine’s populace, he alone
watched the ratepayers’ money go up
in smoke as $50,000 Ontario West
Shore Electric Railway bonds, guar
anteed by the Town of Kincardine
were burnt. When the ill-fated road
folded up 30 years ago, Kincardine,
in common with other district muni
cipalities south of Coderich, was left
to pay $400,000 in bonds. Over that
period the town, paid principal and
interest to bjing the total taken from
the Kincardine' taxpayers’ pockets to
$75,000.
