Another of the efforts for which the Salvation Army, is widely noted has been arranged for in the shape of the Harvest Festival Effort. .'The good work which this organization has carried through and the success which has at- tended their dealings with the more outcast and forlorn, commands the appreciation'of all who sympathize with the spiritual and moral' needs of the people. No doubt many of these will avail themselves of this opportunity to show their confidence in such praise worthy efforts. )ALe Are Prepared To Match The Price Read our ad. on last page. WILLIS & CO. The Goderich-St Mary's Finals. Reporting to the final lacrosse games between Goderich and St. Mary's, the Goderich Star says: -The O.A.L.A. intermediate semi-final game scheduled between Goderich and St. Mary's (at least it was so calt'frd) was played here on Wednesday afternoon and resulted In a farce rather than a contest. Be- fore the commencement of the game St. Mary's entered a protest on the ground that the + oderich team were playing outsiders.The game, how- ever, was commenced, but before` the second quarter was ended St. Mary's withdrew from thgl field with the score 4 to against them. Goderich were playing there off their feet, and while no reasonable excuse was given for retiring it was evident that the visitors preferred shelter u#)der a protest rather than to meet certain defeat. Whether the St. Mary's protest against Goderich importation to outside players can be substantiated remains to be seen, there is mention of a counter -protest from Goderich against the playing of one Jones, a professional, of Stratford, on the St. Mary's team in Monday's game against St. Mary's. The outcome of both games has given room for not a little severe criticism by citizens who want fair, genuine and clean sports. Death of Miss Carrie Shipley. The death of Miss Carrie Shipley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Ship- ley, Clinton, occurred at Winnipeg on Saturday morning last. Miss Shipley left Clinton the previous Monday in- tending to visit her aunt, Mrs. Geo. T. Robinson, at Reginiil. She had not been in good health and it was hoped that the change would benefit her. She had a severe attack of seasickness on the boat on the way up the lakes ani after her arrival at Winnipeg heart failure ensued, with fatal result, The remains were brought back to Clinton and the funeral takes place this afternoon The deceased was a twin sister of Mrs. L. W. Levis, of Wingham, formerly of Goderich.-Gode)'ich Signal. The Farmer's Smile. One of our old subscribers called at the TIMES office the other day wearing a broad smile. Wondering at the cause of the pleased expression on his phisog, he informed us that one of his brood sows had recently given birth to twenty pigs and one of his cows had recently calved. He said that " this sort of thing kept up, Borden's contribution to the navy would not trouble him very much, nor would he object if Bor- den placed an armoury building in every town in the Dominion.

With the exception of measles, the cases and deaths from communicable diseases reported by the Iocal Boards of Health through the Province for the month of August, show substantial de- creases from August, 1012. Cases of typhoid fever show the largest decrease being one-quarter of the cases in Aug- ust last year. This might have been expected, however, as a year ago there was a typhoid epidemic around Ottawa. Returns for August, this year, are not so full as they were last year. Badly Burned. George Baker, drug clerk at J. J' Davis' Store, was badly burned on Tuesday morning with carbolic acid. The bottle containing the acid fell from the shelf, striking an ammonia bottle, both being smashed. The acid splashed over the young man's face, chest and arms, barely missing his eyes. The burns were immediately dressed and he is feeling pretty well already. Series cjf Concerts.

I met a Kansas ganger whose corn crop was in danger from drouth and roasted wind; it was enough to make him disconsolate and break him, and still the farmer grinned. He looked across his acres, all doomed by weather fakers who got the climate mixed; he watched the dust clouds swirling, he saw the green leaves curling, he looked the rows betwixt; he said: "It's gone, 7 reckon; it's shriveled up, by heck, an' it won't produce an ear; of course, it's mighty grievous; such things will always peeve us - but better luck next year!' His spirit wasn't humbled, he neither groaned nor grumbled, nor cast away his tools; misfortunate round him bristled, but cheerily he whistled, and manicured his mules. How many are undaunted when good things they have wanted like bubbles disappear? Iiow many grin at sorrow and look toward to -morrow and better luck next year? That farmer in the future, when you disgruntled, toot your loud trumpet of despair, will have all kinds of money, his days will all be sunny, and diamonds he will wear. For fortune always favors the man who never wavers when evil days appear, who sizes up affliction. and says, with graceful diction, "Well, better luck next year!" WALT MASON. Unlawful Fishing. For some months past complaints have been made of people catching fish with nets and other unlawful ways in the south branch of the Maitland River.

Let the averoge married man do the household shopping for a week and see how the cost of living will jump. Women are More constant readers of advertising than men. Women read advertisements,' because they appeal to their innate senile of values. They take pride in gettitg the most for their money. They like to iihop---and,beforeactually visiting the stores they read the news- papers to see *hat the stores have to offer. Yet mere man "throws out his chest" and prates of his superiority.
