PATRIOTIC NOTES The Ladies' Patriotic Society ship- ped a large box, containing ninety- seven dc•zen bandages and thirl y -nine pairs of socks. cn the 18th inst. to the headquai tere of.the Red Cease Society in To, onto. The following donations have been received since the last acknowledgement— Miss White cotton for bandages, $5 Mts. J. Galbraith 10 yds. cotton for bapdagee. Mrs. R. E. Hetherington, 10 yds. cotton for bandages. Mre. R. A. Coutts 10 yds, cotton for bandages. Mre. J. Walters 5 yds. cotton for bandages, Mrs, A, Linklater 5 yds. cotton for bandages. Mrs. Carrick 5 yds, cotton for band- ages. Ir, is hardly necessary to ask again for both old and Lew material for dree,inge and bandages. The suffering of our own soldier 'boys brings the need of supplies for hospitals more clearly before us, There can not be too large a supply of material for the wounded. The demand, insteai of becoming less, is even on the increase. Let every person help and so make the task lighter for those at the front. The ladies of Huron county have , purchased two Field Kitchens from the Mc•Olary Co. of London. The small Kitchen for the officers and the Large one for the men of the 33rd Battalion. Representatives from the various towns met last week at Clinton to arrange matters and the purchase was completed on Saturday in Lon- don. The formal presentation takes place in London on Wediiesdav, the 23rd, according to notice posted in front of the Post Office. It is hoped as many as can make it convenient will attend the formal presentation. The total amount raised and collected by the ladies of the county? is about $1800. The balance of the amounts contributed is to be devotee to the Canadian Hospital at Shorncliffe. Particulars of the presentation of the Field Kitchene will be given in next week's issue of this paper. EVERYBODY'S COLUMN gersonalt 1 Remember the 12 •h of July celebra. tion.

Marys Ret Mad because Wingham bas the Best Lacrosse Team The Wingbam l a o r o s s e team was defeated in St. Marys by the close margin of 5 to 4 in one of the roughest games that will be played during the entire season. It is encouraging to note that St. Marys was held down to such a close margin on their own ground, after them defeating London the week before on the latter's ground Wingham has in all likelihood the winning team for the championship of District No, 3 of the 0. A. L. A., if the boys can be kept together for the re- mainder of the season. The line-up in St. Marys was as follows; St. Marys—Goal; Shannon; pointe, Stewart and a Cuthbertson; defence, Wilson and Alberts; centre, Williams; home, Lavelle, Mc0onneI, Cowan and Marshall. Wingham—Goal, Knechtel; points, Anderson and McLean; defence, • 0. Hawkins and Holmes; centre, Fetterly; home, VanWyck, Elliott, Scott and Hawkins. Referee—M. Collins of Stratford. Wingham boys made the home team fight hard to keep from losing. Some of the boys who took over their autos paid dearly for it. While at supper, the cars which were left standing in front of the hotel, had their tires cut close to therim so that it could not be "seen, and the gasoline tanks were emptied, leaving only enough for the occnpante to get a short distance out of town. Orval Taylor's car was at• tacked twice. The first time, about the middle of the afternoon,a penknife was thrust into the tire and Mr. Taylor got busy and patched it up intending to say nothing about it. The second time it was cut close to the rim and the machine pushed ahead a• few feet so that the cut was under, and the gasoline Jested till •Mr. Taylor got about two miles on the road home and he vas obliged to walk back for a new supply.. We do'not claim that this was done by lacrosse players, but it was certain- ly done by sante one in sympathy with the team. \Va do claim that the referee should not have allowed so much dirty play, and a team that used any other team as mean on tbe field as St. Marys did Wingham should be thrown out of the league by the La- crosse Association. It is not sport but tends to have a degrading effect on lacrosse and lacrosse players. We understand information has been laid with Provincial Officers and we think the boys' are justified. St, Mary played in Wingham with the Huron Oaks on Wednesday after- noon and were defeated in a clean but strenuous game by the score of 15 4. The score at half time was 8 to 3. Fred C. Waghorn of Toronto refereed and made the boys play Iacrosse. The receipts at the gate amounted to $130. Wingham ..boys took care of all the autos from St. Marys, hiring barns and locking them in so that no harm could be done to them. Mr. and Mrs. Mowbray and Mrs. Taylor of Wingham and Mrs. Morris- on, of Whitechurch, visited relatives here on Wednesday.—[Dungannon News. "Mr. John Q zirk was a visitor in ' Clinton last week.

HELENS MAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE After he had:first tried to strangle his wife, and then attempted to de away with his own life, Ed. Patey, of St. Helens, was taken into custody by Provincial Officer George Phippen on Sunday afternoon. Patsy was frustrated in his design by Wm, Ward and Andrew Er.,erett, of the 12th line, Wawanosb, who were in Ward's house when the affair started. Mrs. Patey had until lately been taking care of Mrs. Ward, whp was ill. A few days ago, however, she was taken to Wingham boapital, and Mrs. Patey continued to remain at the Ward home. It is said that she refused to go home at the request of her husband, and that this aroused his anger, He visited the Ward home, and on his wife's refusal to accompany him made an attempt to strangle her. Everett and Ward, who were near by; dragged him from the woman. Patey then drew a razor and threatened his captors. Later he got away from them and left the house. Alarmed by his actions they followed him and found bis apparently lifeless body hanging from a high post by a sur - single which he had taken from the harness of his horse. Quickly cutting hien down, the two men applied re- storative measure and had the satis• faction of seeing Patey come back to,. life. Patey came up for bearing on Mon- day but the case was adjourned until Tuesday afternoon when Mr. Dudley Holmes acted as Crown Prosecutor in the absence of Crown Attorney Seag- er of Goderich. Mr. R. Vanatone pleaded for defendant. After hearing evidence till about Fix o'clock, court was again adjourned until ten o'clock on Wednesday morning when the accused was acquitted of the charge of trying to strangle his wife, but will stand trial on a charge of at- tempted suicide. As we go to press we learn Patey has got away and Constables Phippen and Allen a"e in pursuit. Particulars next week.

THE ADVANCE extends h arty cougratulations. It has been prophesied by one of our .prominent townsmen that we will have a cool, damp summer, When asked what was his reason for saying so he replied that when the sun crossed the line before seven o'clock on Tuesday morning the wind was blow- ing a cool breeze frorn the northwest, and that was a sure sign,- Well we don't' welsh this gentleman any ill will, but we hope he has made a mistake for this once.
