Subject is: "Resolved that departmen- tal stores are a detriment to Canada." This debate will be given by some of the younger members of the Society, six young men taking the affirmative and six young ladies the negative, Vern- on Miller and Miss Helen Black being the captains. The judges have also been chosen from among the younger members and the debate will be worth coming to hear. DIS'CIer AGRICUL'ftYRAL REPRESENT- ATIVE:* At last week's meeting of the Literary Society the atldietiee had the pleasure of hearing several num- bers from an orchestra consisting of Messrs Colvin (Brussels), Kearney and Speir, which were greatly appreciated. A ladies' quartette, a duet by Misses Aitcheson and Duff, and a piano duet, "O'er Hill and Dale," by Mrs. C. "Hig- gins and Miss Lillian McCall were Other enjoyable features of the program. This was an agricultural night at the Literary and its object was an open discussion on "The work and need of a District Agricultural Representative." George McDonald introduced the sub- ject by explaining what the Represent- atives are, how they are appointed and what are their duties. Richard John- ston described what the advantages of a District Representative would be to us in Huron Coraty. W. II. Haney showed what improvements in farm buildings might be brought about under their supervision. Miss Eva Dull ex- plained their work in supervising Egg Circles and encouraging improved methods of handling poultry. W. H. Fraser made a vigorous speech on "Co- operation." A. MacEwen dwelt on community improvement and its im- portance in solving the rural problem and showed what an impetus the ac- tivities of the District Representative would give in this direction. Miss Cora Messer spoke on Agriculture in the school to which the District Represent- ative gives friendly oversight, and in explaining how this study is to be con- ducted in the Bluevale School she urged that the Agricultural Bookshelf which s to be installed for the benefit of the pupils and the people of the section should be expanded by the co-operation of the Literary Society into a reference library for the assistance of all local or- ganizations in preparing rapers, ad- dresses, debates, etc. By keeping such a library in the school there would berm cost for maintainence and she said that it could be consulted by the public during the school hours without disturb- ing the school work. Rev. Crawford Tate described one of the most inter- esting and successful forms of enter- prise carried out by the District Repre- sentatives, the organization of school fairs and competitions. The school fair has done more than anything else to popularize the teaching of agricul- ture in the schools. J. W. King in the course of his talk on "The Importance of Education" brought out the point that Huron County was helping to pay the cost of the District Representative work in the rest of the province, while getting none of the benefits herself, our county being one of the half dozen which have not yet secured a District Representative. As a result of the evening's discussion the following reso- lution, by Rev. Crawford Tate and seconded by J. W. King, was carried:- "Resolved arried:"Resolved that the Bluevale Liter- erary, Social and Debating Society be- lieve that the time has come when the County, of Huron needs a District Agri- cultural Representative and hereby petition the County Council to look into the matter and at an early date make the necessary provision for his appointment.". Miss Beatrice Bott, of Toronto, has been visiting her friend, Miss Alice Paul. Mr. Earl Aitchison, of Mount Forest, paid a flying visit home last week. An interesting debate was held at school on Friday afternoon on the res- pective merits of fire and water. The affirmative won. At the meeting held to introduce the work of agricultural teaching in the school, the teacher, Miss Messer, gave a very interesting Nature Study lesson on the buds and markings of a branch of horse chestnut which was much enjoyed by the visitors present. The monthly meeting of the Women's Institute was held last Thurs- day at the home of Mrs. Tate. Ther next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Scott. This week the ladies are busily at work on another ship- ment of Red Cross supplies, the gath- erings being held as usual in the churches. From forty to fifty workers from Bluevale, Morris and Turnberry is the average number in attendance at these meetings. Many of them come for the whole day and the energy and enthusiasm displayed in this good cause is inspiring. The open Spring weather has turned the thoughts of the farmers to the maple sugar bush and some trees have been tapped for several days. The busy season will soon be upon us. This has been one of the most perfect win- ters that many people can remember but the Spring sunshine is always wel- comed. An unusual amount of building will be upon in this district during the summer as the result of several fires, erection of new schools, etc. fllE BEST MCDIGiNE FOR LITTL NGS Baby's Own T .1 • are the best medicine in the w • for little ones.
