when their only daughter, Mary Eliza-
beth
11 --beth (Ivl:amie) was united in marriage to
Robert Raymond Elliott, the Rev. Mr.

given away by her father, looked charm-
ing in a gown of white sills covered with
net caught up with rosebud., and sea
pearls and wore the usual bridal veil, car-
rying a bouquet of white asters and maid-
en hair fun. Miss Mary Elliott, sister of
the groom, played the wedding march,

Miss Agnes Aitchison sang in her usual
good style, "0, Perfect Love". After
the ceremony they all retired to the din-
ing room where a dainty dinner was serv-
ed, The immediate relatives of the bride
arid groom were present. The friends
from a distance were, Mrs. McKinney

The King's Message to Canada
"I learn with the deepest gratification
of the effective steps being taken in the
Dominion of Canada towards providing
those increased supplies of food which are
absolutely essential to the defeat of the
enemy's devices and to a speedy and suc-
cesssful termination of the war. I have
no doubt that the self-sacrifice displayed
on the battlefields of France by my heroic
troops will find its counterpart in the ef-
forts of those who, at home in the Dom-
inion, are devoting themselves to this work
All those thus loyally engaged contribute
in important measure towards assuring
victory." -George R. I.

COMMUNICATION
Over two years ago a young man rn
Wingham was supposed to have used
very profane language to a Bluevale girl
When the trial came off it was published
in the papers never giving the girl's first
name nor the town where she lived, which
caused a great deal of gossip to whoral the
girl really was. About two weeks ago
Mr. Finley was informed that certain
people thought it was his daughter. Ise
went immediately to Judge Morton about
it, so it is advisable to publish this stating
that Miss Finley at Wingham knows
nothing about it at all
(Signed) Mrss ETHEL FINLEY
"Suckers" Are Pientlful
It is hard to explain, but never -the -less
quite true, that many persons have a
preference for doing business with strang-
ers. They fool themselves into thinking
that he has the best proposition to offer
and fall for his smooth talk, Only once,
perhaps to the same man, but the next is
soon around and they're as "easy" as ever.
The local man may have the goods but
they'd prefer to take chances with the
strangers. Their money leaves the com-
munity and often they get nothing in re'
turn.
The fake canvasser for subscriptions to
papers or magazines has been exposed
time and time again but there are still
"suckers" in sufficient number to make
business worth while.
One of these agents was around quite
recently. He took subscriptions for the
Canadian Countryman at a dollar a year.
The same paper was offered in The AD-
VANCE Clubbing list at fifty cents, yet
some of our readers of fell for the persis-
tent, smooth -talking stranger, who charg-
ed twice as much. and different from many
of his fellows, didn't even throw in a wash-
ing machine, gold watch or anything as a
premium
Worse still, some of the subscribers are
still looking for their paper tri come, One
of .these called on us to see what he
could do about it.
