There was considerable constern- ation in the Presbyterian manse on Monday when several rooms in the house were filled with smoke, the source of which was a mystery. An alarm was sent in and the fire bell rung. The firemen quickly responded and numerous citizens were soon on the scene. After quite a little search during which time it was believed fire was smouldering in some of the partitions as plumbers had been at work there during the ,morning, it was discovered that the smoke was coining from an electric iron that was concealed behind a door in the pantry which had been turned on and was burning its way through one of the base -boards. The iron attach- ed to the circuit had been placed on the floor behind the door and it is thought that the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Foote had turned on , the switch. It was an anxious time for a few minutes .and during that time many people tramped through the house. 100 MOM INMONM NONNEIM MINIM IIMMEM :;�1 IIIIIIIIII111111111111111111111111U1111111111111{IIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllllllllllllllllll{IIIIIIIIiI(IIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIII(HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII{Illlllllllllliir • Cllh — NAMEL DEMONSTRATION BY FACTORY EXPERT, MAY 25th and 28th.

Treble, of town, and a grad - nate from the Times Office, who since his return from overseas has been taking a course at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, has been successful in the recent examinations in winning two scholarships. Mr. Treble captured the Warren Scholar- ship for design and the O.O.A. Sch- olarship in commercial art. As two scholarships are not awarded to one student by this college Mr. Tre- ble had to forfeit the latter and was given honorable mention standing Indeed it is a rare thing in art that a student carries off a scholarship in more than one branch of the study. Leon's many friends in town are glad to know he is winning success which does not come through ability alone but application as well. Some of Mr. Treble's work adorns the walls of the Carnegie Library as he designed and executed the Honor Rolls of the boys who served over- seas from. Exeter and Usborne. Some of his sketches done in printer's ink decorate the walls of the Times' composing room and have attracted the attention of many visitors.

SOUTH HURON S. S CONVENTION The annual county convention of the South Huron Sunday School As- sociation was held in the Main street Methodist church. in this village Sat- urday last. C. M. Hauch, vice-pres- ident of Brucefield, presided. Mr" Henry Strang, of Hurondale, spoke' of the ways in which the cicu•ch and Sunday school may heln each other. The reports of superintendents of the various departments showed the work to be in healthy condition. Miss Taggart of the central office, Toron- to, gave any helpful hints on Sun- day school work. At the evening session, Rev. H. B. Parnaby, of Elimville, spoke on "The Boy and the Sunday, School." He held that the average Sunday School isn't much good for boys. The • boys aren't drawn towards them because there isn't enough ac- tion to suit their degree of activity. He wculd ha rc the teacher of the The speakers for the day were boy's class, the captain of the base - Miss Lydia Sherritt, returned Luis- ball team, providing he was the right sionary from China and Rev.

This part of Ontario, thickly oc- cupied by progressive and wealthy isles. Miss Mabel Taggart and Miss M. Trotter gave short inspirational addresses that were much apprecia- bed. Rev. Dr. Medd and Rev. Mr. Foote also assisted with the services. The girls from out of town were billeted in different henries in town. Such a line, the extension of the St. Marys branch of the C.P.R. to connect with your road at Goderich would secure the major part of the carrying traffic of this very produc- tive section.

' ; Boarci c: Miss Sherritt spoke both after- noon and evening, She has certainly, come home with a message and her manner of delivery is so pleasing and, so impressive, that to hear her is to wish to hear her again. ' One pleasing, feature of the con- vention was 'the presentation of a beautiful silk handbag containing a neat sum of money to Mrs. A. M. Wilson, who for the past eleven years has been district superinten- dent. It is largely due to her untiring efforts that the present high stand- ing of the auxiliaries, circles and the bands of this district has been reach- ed, and the ladies of the district felt that some tangible evidence of appreciation of her work should be made. A suitable address was read by Mrs. B. W. F. Beavers of Exe- ter and the presentation was made by Miss Dora Sherritt, of Granton. Though wholly taken by surprise, Mrs. Wilson made a very suitable' reply. The musical numbers rendered were of a high order. Master George Beavers sang sweetly "Step Out for Jesus." In the afternoon Miss Hoop- er and Miss Mills gave a duett which was much appreciated, while a solo by Miss Hooper and an anthem by Woodham choir were enjoyed by the evening audience. The Woodham people are to be congratulated on, the very splendid entertainment given the Convention. Every one was well housed, well fed, and made to feel that it was a pleas- ure to be there. boys the opportunity to get rid of their surplus energy by providing games for them. The boy may never have read Emerson's dictum: "What you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say." yet it is very, true in every boy. This is seen in the fact that he will go miles to see a ball game, but wild horses couldn't take him to the prayer meeting. He isn't bad for all that. He just wants to be active. Rev. S. M, Rauch, pastor of Credi- ton Evangelical church.,. introdneed:: the subject of "The Successful 'Rural Sunday School." The rural question is an important one, in fact, so im- portant that it is occupying the at- tention of the churches, conventions, statesman, parliaments, etc. He be- lieved that many of the rural S. S. were good because of results. In the M. E. church, south,' 66 per cent of, the ministers were from the country, 10 per cent were minister's sons. In the Presbyterian church, south, the percentages' Were 47„ per cent and 15 per cent. In the Canadian Evangelical church, 71 per cent came from rural communities and 9 per cent were minister's sons, . the re- mainder of the ministers were scat- tered cattered in their origin. Farmer's sons are first, minister's sons, second, ev- en though the ministerial population is small. He held that the successful Sunday school should endeavor to reach. ev- erybody, from the baby in arms to the grandmother. It should be a progressive school. The recreational side shouldn't be neglected. Variety, should be striven for. They, should be represented in conventions and rural parliaments. Lastly, the successful rural school should never forget to keep constantly in the forefront, the leading of the child to Jesus Christ. "•ti Eat More Bread It is still the bestIvalue you can find.
