Kincardine Barn Burned
Kincardine’s worst fire in five years
razed a barn on the. property of Jos,
Wilson, butcher, Cause of the <blaze
is not known. It was noticed by a
neighbor who phoned in an alarm.
Pumping from Penetangore River,

granary in which were 1,000 bushels
of grain. Stock in the barn was mov-
e.d out before the blaze got too much
headway,

There’s a tinge of frost in the

K in car dine Bakers Object
To Outside Selling
Representations were made to
Hom Horman O, Hipel, minister of
labor, by bakers from Kincardine,
h
tables were cleared away and we sat
down to wait for the play. There
was the rumbling of tables apd chairs
and the excited giggling of Millie
Simpkins, and occasionally a face
would peer out from a rent in the
curtain to see if we were having a
full house. After two or three false
starts the orchestra under the direc
tion of Jim While started off with
Yankee Doodle and then evidently
thinking better of it, they changed
to playing something that was a cross
between a very sick Turkey in the
Straw and a dyspeptic kitten on the
keys. They came to an abrupt stop,
but Ed Jenks, playing second fiddle,
kept on bravely and played to the
end . . he was quite a way behind.
Everybody applauded,
Then that Daniels boy from town,
the one who works in the chain gro
cery and we’ars “smelling-grease” on
his, hair, came out and made a very
pretty speech. He sounded to me as
he expressed hope that people would
enjoy their humble efforts, as if he
would talk the ‘same way trying to
pawn off a pound' of wormy raisins.
But everybody applauded that too.
Then the curtain was drawn back,
and there was the same scenery on
the stage that has been there ever
since the Uncle Tom’s Cabin show
broke down in ’08. Of course, they
had one of those gilt-edged mottoes
“God Bless Our Happy Home” on
the wall and a new calendar on the
wall, but it looked pretty Well con
sidering the fact that it’s been doing
service for thirty years.
As usual George Hendry was sit
ting up on the red settee with the
false whiskers on (there’s one pair)
and with his stockinged feet Up on
the chair beside the table with the
three legs. He is always pretty fair
at acting, and he droned on about
the price of wheat and the condition
of the farmers for about five minutes.
Then catastrophe entered the scene
Apd the whiskers .dropped off . . .!
But that was where George showed
himself to be a good trouper. He
just Went right On talking and said
; . , “Yes, sir, times sure are tough.
There hasn’t been enough rain to ev
en give a man’s whiskers encourage
ment' to Stick with him.” Then while
everybody was laughing he slipped
the whiskers back on.
There were several mishaps includ
ing the time when Tom Dicson’s
Stomach started slipping down, and
as he hitched it tip the front of his
shirt came open and you could see
the top of the pillow, Then when
Emily Laws forgot her lines* and the
coach back stage whimpered two or
three times in a stage whisper and
at last yelled , « . “Clean out your
ears# Emily?’
Whew the young man and the
young lady clinched in the last scene
everybody gasped, and her beau Who
was down In the audience was halt-

way up out of his seat before it broke . . . it’s mighty fine to see the peo-
up. Everybody thought it was too pic you know play-acting on a stage
realistic.
But those things are what makes
entertainment in the country so good
. . . and if they do make a few mis
takes it only adds to the spirit of
the. occasion.
