real pleasure out of life ; will be

Martha de Wolfe of East Ship
Harbor, N.S.
Mrs. de Wolfe says, "For years l

tion and headaches and I was miser-
able in every way. Nothiagin the way

and by •o -doing put i.' :vex church

not a well -ph yid gene as a great
many error;; isere made. The Caven

wenn outplayed all the way through.
The new e.eire Lae:el tm the east

Friday, June 27th.
Trivitt Memorial put one over on
Thames Road in a very close and
fast game by a score of 7-6 on the
Themes Road park. Eoth teams
played great ball and by the Trivitts
win put them right up for a chance
at the playoff and they should make
a good showing with the best of
them.
This week's games are changed
somewhat, on Thursday James st.
"A" play their game with Thames
Road, and on Friday night Main St.
and James st, "B" plat their last
Monday's game that was put off for
the Thames Road supper, and the
Caven church and Trivia game that
should have been played on this
Friday, will be played the first part
of next week. Watch these games as
every one means a lot to the stand-
ing.
A young man asked an old Ken-
tucky gentleman his age. "I ant past
80" was the answer. "Oh, but I'd
like to live to be 80," said the young
man. The Kentuckian asked him,
"Do you drink?" "Not a drop, sir,"
"Do you smoke?" "No, sir," "Chew?
"No, sir," "Gamble?" "No, sir."
"Flirt?" "No, sir," "Go joy -riding
with any other woman than your
mother or sister?" "No, sir" "Well,"
said the old man, "for the life of me,
I can't see what you want to live
for."

"Hello, Mrs. Brock, do you
know who's speaking?"
"No, I haven't the faintest
idea."
"It's Irene — we just had
our telephone installed and
I thought you would like to
know our number."
"Why that's fine, Irene, I've
often wished your mother
had a telephone."
And so Mrs. Brock returns
to her paper with a new
and greater appreciation of
the fact that "every new
subscriber adds to the value
of YOUR telephone."
Of the net gain of 52,U18
telephones in Ontario and
Quebec in 1928, over 86,000
(or 70%) were installed in
residences.
Merchants aid shop -keepers
should not overlook this
large addition to the num.

can reach; by telephone.
ROBERT MUNN AQUITTED
The serious charge made by a
Barnardo Home girl against i rr,
Robt. Munn, of Hay Township near
Hensall, were ventllated at the
Criminal Sessions held at Goderich
last week and the jury, after a three
days' trial, unanimously granted an
honorable acquittal after' being out
only 12 minutes. Judge ,Barron,
of Stratford, presided. The Crown
Attorney, Charles Seager, K. C.,
prosecuting and J. M. McAAvoy, K,C.,
and J. G. Stanbury defending. The
evidence clearly established the in-
nocenee of the accused. The School
Register was produced by the de-
fence to show that the girl was at
school the very days on which she
laid her charges, while neighbors
proved conclusively that the accus-
ed was attending sawing -bees away
from home at this time. So popular
was the jury's decision, that cheers
and hand clapping broke the solemn
stillness of the Court -room, only to
be quickly suppressed by the threat
from. the Judge, that he would send
some of the joyful ones to jail. But
the friends and neighbors of Mr.
Munn found opportunity on Wednes-
day evening to -voice their satisfac-
tion and express their faith in hint,
when a, great surprise party was or-
ganized and took possession of the
Munn home. Besides the neighbors
the parents of Mr. and Mrs. Munn
and also their solicitor, Mr. Stan -
bury and his wife were invited.
Games very pleasantly passed the
the evening and then at the festive
board, short speeches were made by
women as well as men, expressive of
the high regard in which the family
is held and of rejoicing and appre
ciation of the triumphant vindica-
tion of Mr. Munn's character. The
cocasion was the anniversary of the
Munn's wedding. Following is the
address presented to them:—
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Munn: .
We are gathered' here this even-
ing on the anniversary of your wed-
ding to express our delight in the
successful termination of the ,~host
unsavory case that has ever shocked
this neighborhood. The dark cloud
of waiting and suspense has been
finally lifted. For months our minds
have been with you, ready at any
time to offer any assistance possible
to free the innocent. It is a high
tribute to the integrity and purity of
character of the falsely accused that
the whole neighborhood and those
who knew him best, have stood by
him at this tying time. We feel that
this cloud has had a silver lining.
and that we have been drawn closer
together as • neigheors and friends
because one of our number was in
trouble and now that freedom has
come, rejoicing is in every heart.
We also take this opportunity to
express our deepest satisfaction at
the brilliant and masterly way in
which the two counsels conducted
the case.
We trust that the years to come
may be years of joy and that time
will heal the wounds that have been
so ruthlessly made. May you and
yours he spared to enjoy many hap-
py anniversaries of this occasion.
Signed on -behalf of your friends
and neighbors.
The St. Marys Journal "Rambler" in
a communication to that paper refers
therein to two of tour cit;zeas in the
f ollowing :
Going down to Troronto a few weeks
ago, my travelling companion happened
to be Reeve Sanders of Exeter. The
questions in which he was most enter-
ested were hydro -electric and the ac-
tivivies of the ,Dominion Canners' As-
pociation.

A WORTHY BOY
The Neepawa Press contains the
following complimentary reference
to a son of Mr. James A. Dempsey,
of that town, a former well-known
teacher and resident of Usborne Tp:
Amidst frequent evidences of de-
generacy and criminality amongst
the boys of Neepawa, it is a delight
to the Press to be. able occasionally
to record the worthy achievements
of any of them. Not very many Nee-
pawa boys have attained distinction;
yet a fair proportion have made
good, and it is hoped that their suc-
cess may serve as an example and
encouragement to others, for, the
records show that it is the steady-
going,
teadygoing, home respecting boy that gets
to the front while the smart ones
get into trouble.
The young man to whom the Press
directs attention today is 8. J. Demp-
sey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A.
Dempsey. His is a record worth
printing because it is evident that he
has already (at the age of 22) given
promise of statesmanship in addition
to scholarship.
With a record of good behavior as.
well as talent and patient industry
in the Neepawa school, he advanced
to Wesley College, Winnipeg, where
he mastered his subjects and won
prizes every term, finally graduating
in 1922 with honors and a $500
scholarship which gave him the
choice of going to Toronto or contin-
uing in Winnipeg. He chose Toron-
to; where he has put in two years,
winning last year a similar $500
scholarship to that won in Winnipeg.
This gave him a standing with the
faculty which resulted in engage-
ment on the staff while taking a
further course of study. This post-
graduate study has developed quali-
ties rarely found in 'young naen--
that of grasping and solving world
problems rather than merely qualify-
ing for a method of earning a living.
He has now been chosen in a com-
petitive contest as the holder—the
first holder—of the Strathcona Mem-
orial Fellowship at Yale. This $1000
scholarship, provided by Lord
Strathcona, entitles him to a year at
the great American University which
he is going to take, and there is ev-
ery reason. 'to look forward to his
achievement of further distinction.'
While the junioor Jim Dempsey has
been studying and lecturing at Tor-
onto University, he has prepared a
thesis on the principles underlying
the determination of railway rates in
Western Canada which is pronounc-
ed by those who have read it to be
a masterly exposition of an intricate
and perplexing question: It is this
production which affords a fair
measure of the young man's gziali,;y
and capacity:

He showed a timid heart,
And when the lights were low,

And learned the joy of a kiss,

On Friday evening last about 30
friends and neighbors surprised Mrs.
Mfrs. Edith Moore with a miscellan-
eous shower. An interesting pro-
gram was given, Mrs. Hy. Motz tak-
ing the chair. Mrs. Eli Lawson read
the following address:—Dear Mrs.
Moore: As friends and neighbors we
are gathered here to -night to express
our regret, as we hear you are leav-
ing our midst in the near future—
our loss and Shipka's gain. We have
always found you a true and loving
friend and ever ready to give a help-
ing hand in time of need. We are
sorry to lose you, but duty calls you
elswhere. May God's richest bless-
ing follow you to your new home.
We now ask you to accept these mis-
cellaneous articles on behalf of the
friends and neighbors. After a fit-
ting reply from Mrs. Moore, the
gifts were presented by Mrs. Wm.
Metz. A dainty lunch was served
with ice cream and a very pleasant
evening was enjoyed by all.
Miss Cora Stahls, of London, has
returned home for the summer
months.
