House and Stable Burned'
The fire bell was rung again in the
village on Wednesday night after a
lapse of almost fifteen years when it
summoned help for the fire which de-
stroyed the home of Mr. Joe Magrath.
The house, one of the oldest in the
village made of pine was beyond all
help when noticed. Mr, Magrath be-
ing down town. Very little furniture
was removed. Wingham fire truck
arrived shortly after the call was re-
ceived and while nothing could be
' done to save the house or stable they
made it possible for neighbours to
breathe easier by putting a stop to the
sparks which the wind was showering
over their homes. We understand Mr.
Magrath carried some insurance,

call answered by a verse or thought
on "The Cross". Over one hundred
dollars clear was realized at the St.

sides the booth which the girls branch
of W. A. had. The next meeting to
be held at the roue of Mrs. Jack

the cross should signify in our lives,
and that we should never forget above
all, that the cross stands for love, and
that .Christ's death glorified the cross.

solo "The Old Rugged Cross", Mrs.

Minutes of last meeting were read
and adopted, and all ;business dealt

er for one of our citizens who had
lost everything by fire. Miss Maguire
gave a reading entitled, "The Saloon
Keeper" which told of the degrad-
ation and poverty that comes to those
who frequent these places, and how
the saloon keeper realizes the hunger
and misery he is causing to women
and little children, as well as the life
and souls of them that patronize those
saloons.
We were glad to welcome two new
members, Mrs. Etta Day and Mrs.
Wm. Lynn. Hymn "My Faith looks
up to Thee" was sung, and the meet-
ing closed with the National Anthem

us to say, definitely, that if you
order your Bray Chicks (either day-
old or started) right away for prompt
shipment, we can probably fill your

That is more than we cat' prophesy
for later in the season, Advance ord-
ers have been extremely heavy for
later delivery.
But we can supply a lot of good Bray
Chicks right now. And right enow is a
mighty good time to start chicks, Ex-
perieece. tells us that the highest egg
prices of 1944 will be realized in :Sep-,
tember, October, November. Good
Bray Chicks, started now, and raised
right, should be in nice production jetst
when prices are soaring. (If you take
started chicks, of course, they will be
laying that inech larger eggs, and
cashing in on the wide fall premiums

Just to sure, in ordering, name a
second choice on breed, grade, arid
date of shipment, (We'll do our level
