New Jackie Coogan Picture. Jackie Coogan's new picture "The Bugle Call" which comes to the -Grand Theatre on Monday next shows him in a role new to his fol- lowers—that of a "near -grown-up" part. He enacts a bugle -boy in a cavalry post on the old historic Rose- man Trail in the days of the Indian was. His bugle routs an Indian horde in this thrillingly vivid tale which is based on actual history. The early West and the trials of the pion - where intrigue, heart-throbs, daring cess come to life in ''his picture heroism and a thousand exciting moments play about the life of a young boy who faces death to save the helpless. A brilliant rescue and !in unsuspected climax make this one of the most stirring, early American dramas and the best Jackie Coogan picture ever filmed. Exam. Dates Set.

Provisions of the Highway Traffic Act, whicli ordinarily make an owner liable, do not apply in the case of a collision between two automobiles. An amenthnent made in 1996 says that sections 142, 143 and 154 shall not apply to any section brought by a passenger in a motor 'vehicle a- gainst the owner or -driver of the vehicle, respecting any injuries suf- fered by hint while a passenger. The point was raised by counsel for a Toron'to man in asking non -suit of an action heard there recently. Art- ! other man sued for $5,000 damages as a result of a motor car collision when his wife was severely injured. IIe sought to recover the damages from the owner or driver of the veh- icle with which his car collided. The fudge concurred in the argument that the "'plaintiff can obey succeed against the owner of an automobile by showing such evidence as will en- title hint to succeed in common law" and that a "passenger case" is taken out of the Highway Teefiic Act. "He iwould succeed in common law," said the judge, "if the automobile was in the possession of the person who did the injury with his consent." 1 Obituary. The Forest Free Press of March 8th, hacl the following obituary of the late John Neal Gordon, a former manager of the Standard Bank Brussels: The passing of Mr. Gordon on Tuesday of last week which was briefly referred to in last week's Free Press, was regretted by a ]cost of warm friends in the town and vice inity. He was born in Fergus, and in early life went into the service of the Standard Bank. About 25 years ego he came from Brussels to Forest and assumed the management of the Standard Bank here, a position which he filled with exceptional ability until five years ago, when he was compell- ed to retire, owing to failing health. Although not able to resume active business be was able to be around at times until the day before his death, when he suffered a sudden collapse, and passed away in a few hours. For many years he not only attended to the bank business, but was one of the town's most active citizens in all rnaitters pertaining. to the welfare of the community. He was also a live sportsman, taking a keen inter- est in cricket, curling, &c. IIe was also an active mmbor of Christ Church, serving several years as Warden, and many years in the choir. IIe is survived by hie wife, formerly Irene Jones, of Forest, and two children, John and Mary, aged 1.5 and 0 years respectively; also one sister, Mrs. Edward Nixon, of Memp- his, Tenn, The funeral was held to lieeolrwood cemetery on Thursday afternoon, with e very large attend- ance of relatives, town citizens and friends from other places.

During the next few weeks mil- lions of people in Canada are going to be driven from their happy homes and their homes devestated. Millions of men and little children will be forced to live on crusts, leftovers, and to wander aimlessly about in search of some habitation. The cur- tains will be torn from the windows, the very carpets from the floors, for the women of Canada are about to start their annual spring house-clean- ing. If you have any liching tackle, brother, bury it in the yard. If you have an old hat that fits, put it in a saftey deposit, for the hour of des- truction is at hand. Leave no money in your old clothes. For verily your garments shall adorn same hobo, who toils not niether does he spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not ar- rayed like one of these, Yes some stranger shall soon be garbed in that old suit of yours that has begun to look had, while you go about in rine that looks worse.
