Two long passenger trains, leaving a short time apart, carried the men, their equipment having been sent forward by freight some days be- fore. A certain amount of secrecy was observed, but the time was known to all the relatives of the men and the throng at Lire East End Station on the G. T. R. was so weat that the full strength of the 70,11 Battalion was called in to make a cordon about the train. Before the entrainment, a draft of 80 men was called for from the 71st, This was to take the place of men in hospital or who were absent on the day the battalion left,. The stragglers of the 34th who drift in and the sick men will go into the 71st. The 34th will continue its training in England for some time before going to the front. It is not unlikely that it will eventually be broken up to prc- vide reinforcements for battalions that are already at the front. Taken Suddenly ill Mr. Mort Knox, Jeweler, was taken suddenly ill on Wednesday of last week and has since been in a precaut. lous condition. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Knox of- Toro's - to, and his aunt, Mrs. McLeod of Rip- ley, are in attendance.

Fire at Belgrave l3'ire at Belgrave, early Saturday morning completely destroyed the roiling and chopping mill of G. Jordon including machinery and grain. The first sign of the fire was when It was seen in flames and then it was too late to save anything, At this time of the year there would be more grain in the building than is usual through the summer months, Mr, Jordon le insured, but his loss will be heavy as everything was destroyed, WINGHAM DiD ITS DUTY The Contribution In Response To Red Cross Appeal Wingham citizens in general are proud of the contribution given last week in response to the appeal from Lord Lansdowne for money to assist the British Red Cross, A few who really did not want to give much made the plea that were it for the Canadian Red Cross they would give more, but their remarks are eo childish they scarcely need a reply, The British and Canadian Red Cross are doing the same work, the one cannot get on without the other. If we bad all made the same foolish plea for not giving there would only have been one thing left for the Lieut -Governor to do and that would have been to im- pose a tax on everyone. As a result of the energetic work of the different committees Win'gham has done its share in answering the motherland's appeal. Ontario's magniflcient con- tribution for this worthy cause will help relieve the wounds of many a poor soldier lad who has fallen for his Empire and for us Canadians at home. A very enthusiastic canvass was made and everyone did hie "bit". The town council did the right thing when they granted the $2000 to this noble cause. Thursday afternoon was observed as a half holiday and at 1.30 the school children, ball teams and lady police- men marched to the town park head- ed 'tiv the citizens Band, and everyone spent a jolly afteeneen. The fate and the leans lined up and played a cloeery: contested game of baseball in which the fate were victorious. The line-up: Fats—VanNorman, Orandell, Mor- gan, Crawford, Posliff, Vanstone, Pringle, Boyce, Tipiing, .Leans—Knechtel, Harrieton, Pat- terson, Hunter, Dore, Gould, Binkley, Robertson, Johnston. Umpire—Mrs, Fisk, A burlesque team played the win- ners but sad to relate the game broke up in disorder as the fats could not re- frain from kissing the dark lady faces, and the lady police made it their busi- ness to march a number of the players on both sides to the magietrate, Mies Ainsley, who was never known to 'let anyone go without paying a fine. The police women were busy all af- ternoon arresting men for "miscon- duct" and although men possibly can hang unto a little more money with men acting as police, yet the ladies . would certainly keep thinge a little more lively. Here are some of the charges laid against those who came into the clutches of the law, "talking too much to your wife", "not talking enough to your wife", "spitting on the park", "being too far away from home", "mopery", besides numerous others. This part of the program net- ted the Red Cross over $25.00. The lady policemen were:—Chief of Police, Mre. T. J. McLean, Mrs. C. Knechtel, Mrs. D. Holmes, Mrs. J. Walton Mc- Gibbon, Mrs. R. 5. McGee, Mrs, A. G. Smith, Mies L. Vandrick, Mise A. Mc- Lean, Mise M, Fry and Mies M. Van - Norman, A ladies baseball team from Gorrie played the Pringle ladies team a friendly game of ball which was very interesting. Gorrie ladies won easily from the local girls. The latter only consented to play after a great deal of coaxing as they had no practice for some time. The line-up:—Gorrie— Misses Hupfer. E. Johnston, Mable McGuire, Margaret Johnston, Jean Edgar, Lillie Edgar, Alma Cathers, Mabel Edgar and Ruby Cathers, Wingham—Misses Pearl Faille, Julia Glousher, Ella Faille, Bella Eady, Alice Duncan, Bella Murchison, Gertio Fal - lis, Lena Glousher and Edna David - eon. ; Mr. R. A. Currie, umpire. A good sized pile of articles had been gathered up from the towns- people and auctioneers T. R, Bennett and W. A. Currie proceeded to turn them into cash. A few of the donat- ions were new articles, Mr, Bennett donated aiwheelbarrow, Mr. Fryfogle a new wringer, Mr. Pringle several dozen pairs of new mitts and gloves. Mr. W. A. Currie went to considerable trouble and expense in making over a hundred bandage winders which he sold at 10 cents each, giving a ticket with each purchase, The owner of the lucky ticket No. 47 is entitled to the clock on exhibition in W. G. Pat- terson's window. There was several other useful articles donated by many citizens. The sales amounted to $70.77. The ladies turned the council cham- ber into a 000th and sold home-made candy and baking, we understand they netted something in the neighborhood of $e1. The concert in the hall on Thursday evening made a very appropriate fin- ish to the most enthusiastic collection ever made in Wingbam, The hall was filled and thereby was added $175 more to the fund. The Band -gave some good selections, and their new leader, Mr. Schatte, proved himself to be all that the Berlin papers have said about him, "master of his cornet". The choral society under the leader- ship of Mr, J. l3enry Christie, gave a couple of choruses in a manner which showed that their practices are by no means lost ti me. There are fifty-five voices in this society and their leader deserves credit for the manner in Subscriptions: $1.00 per year, which they rendered their selections. Mr. and Mrs. Cowell in a duet "The spider and the fly" made a striking im- preseion on their audience, The duet by Messrs, Hill and Dowell was per- fect, Miss Jean VanNorman is al. °Evays a favorite on the stage and she excelled in the solo "Who'e that' Cal- ling." Mies Mabel McDonald and Mrs, T, J. McLean gave readinge that were greatly appreciated, Mrs. McLean's reading was new to her and she hand- led it well while Mies McDonald is able to hold a place with the best of elo- cutionists, The concert was No, 3 in every respect, Dr, Irwin occupied the chair,. The names of contributors are print- ed elsewhere in this issue. The total cash in the bank to date is $4,412 00 with a cheque coming from the town for $2000, making a total of $0,412.00, The total expenditure $30.80, leaving a balance of $0,375,80, LIST OF OONTRIBUTIONS David McDonald., , , , , 10 00 Thos Field 25 00 Joe Pugh, .. ....
