World's Greatest Magician and Com- pany will play here. The Redpath Bureau which books nearly all the big entertainments seen in American concert halls is planning a spring tour of Laurant, "The Man of Many Mysteries," and his capable com- pany. Eugene Laurant is the 'successor of Kellar and Herman and is now ad- mitted to be the World's greatest mag- ician. This company carries all special scenery and $10,000.00 worth of paraph- ornalia. Such a stupendous production has never been seen here before. Here is.a company that is absolutely guaran- teed and is refined in every line. For over two hours the most mysterious feats of: magic that seem almost impos- sible, filled with suck comedy that you will laugh every minute, with sparkling music throughout, such a treat awaits you. It is a big show such as appears only in the Iargest theatres. This com- pany has played New York, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, London, Galt, Strat- ford, Hamilton, etc., and we will pos- itively refund your money if you are not pleased with the mar- vellous performance. Further we will pay $100.00 to anyone who can show one word or act in this great production that will offend the most critical. We want parents to bring children as it %sill be a delight to them. It is the first time so expensive a company has play- ed outside the big theatres and we hone you will come along. Remember the date, April 10th and 11th, at 8 p.m., in Wingham Opera House. The plan opens. at McKibbon's'drug store on Wednes- day, April 9th. Tickets are only 25 and 35e and 50e. Order early. SOMETHING TO THINK OVER. In last week's issue of the Presbyter- ian a layman of the Presbyterian Church drew some startling facts of the de- crease of the rural population and the increase of the population in the cities. He showed by figures the decrease in Huron, Bruce and Grey and we give them below:- Huron elow:Huron Bruce Grey Totals 1901. 61,820 59,020 69,500 190,430 1911..52,988 50,032 65,891 168,906 BABY'S OWN TABLETS, Baby's Own Tablets are the best tiicdiciue a mother•ean give her little one. -They act as a- gentle laxative, sweeten up cols e.n the stomach,break d and make teething easy. Concerning them Mrs. Alphonse. Laundry, Upper Car' auet, N. D1., says: `Baby's Own Tablets were of great benefit to my lit- tle boy and I would advise all mothers with sickly children to • give them a trial." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail. at 25 .cents a bex from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Coot Jlroekville, Ont, Decrease 8,837 8,088 3,699 21,524 Here we find a total decrease for the three counties of 21,524, or about 12 per cent. of the population in 1901. The in- crease of population over 6,000 in the city of Owen Sound alone saved the sit- uation from being much worse. This decrease is serious and apparently will continue. The worst is not yet. —Be a booster. Roar and see Laur- ant and Company. —Laurant, the world's greatest mag- ician is coming soon with his big com- pany. —Special rate io school children for Laurante's performance. Look for an- nouncement. —Your money returned if Laurant & Co. do not deliver the goods. Just go to the box office if you are not pleased with the show. Please remember this is a Redpath attraction and it must make good. "Let all Canadians think. We are face to face with a new departure in our national life. I speak not without solemnity. If we pass this bill we turn our back upon the traditional history of this country since Confederation. We interrupt the movement of progress, which has gone steadily onward. We strike at the spirit of self-confidence and reliance. We turn back to another page in the history of colonial govern- ment. We are faced today once more with the choice between concentration and expansion. Let us face it as we have done in the past, and settle it again if need be, settle it in the light of what we owe to ourselves as Can- adians and what we owe to the mother- land as British subjects.— Sir Wilfrid in House of Commons on Monday. notiN: SsnTu -•In 1lluevale, on April 2nd, to Mr. and Mrs. Milton Smith; a son. (I' Spring Millinery Having purchased the Millinery business of the late Miss MacPherson, I extend a cordial invita- tion to the ladies of Wingham and locality to visit my show rooms and inspect the Spring Mil- linery. The latest and most fashionable goods are on display and at prices that are in reach of all. Your patronage Solicited Miss L Rush LAURANT & CO. Laurant & Co carry special scenery and $10,000.00 worth of Paraphernalia. Programme opens with a flower prelude, a pretty set with 35 flower effects all created out of nothing. The stage becomes a veritable flower garden. Then followes the most astonishing 30 minutes of sleight of hand you ever saw. The first act concludes with a famous hat trick in which 20 characters are por- trayed under one hat and the last disap- pears in full view of the audience. Act two is called the wizard's supper. Tables and chairs vanish and multiply, ducks, birds, rabits, and guinea pigs all have a place and you will see the most startling and mystifying feasts ever performed in this place. Laurant was I given a gold medal by the Amercian Association of Magicians in New York last fall for this act. It is declared to be the best ever produced by any magic -1 ian. In the last act you see the wonderful tricks of India, Japan. Egypt, Persia Turkey, and other countries, Laurant is a world traveller and brings back the most surprising stunts ever seen in Can- ada. You cannot afford to stay from this show. You would willingly pay $2.00 for it in Toronto. Come out in your own town and make it possible for us to bring good talent here. Date is April 10th and 11th. Price only 25c, 35c, 50c. Plan opens at McKibbon's drug store on Wed.April 9th. See Laurant grow flowers all over the stage out of nothing.

We have two reasons for making this change. 1st. Those who pay cash should buy cheaper. 2nd. Shoes are` higher in price and we expect that we will be able to sell for cash at very close to last season's prices. Very disquieting is the January report of the United States Department of , Agriculture. As compared with a year ago, the number of cattle in the country on January 1, 1913, shows a decrease of 1,230,000; the number of sheep a decrease of 880,000. "The decrease has been consistent and progressive for some years." Population,however,is increasing yearly.
