CO.THE MOORISH CLOTHING y Mau." Maya otto c bi A Square Deal for Every .1f IT WAS A STRANGER. A number who gathered et the Bap- tist church. for worship.,last Sunday morning hail their hopes raised for a moment only to be - dashed later The pulpit is being supplied for the present and word had gone around that "Mr. Ford of . Toronto" was to be the preacher that day. People na- turally thought of their own late pas- tor, the Rev. E., 0. Porde, but when 'the minister came in front the vestry and took his place in the pulpit they were disappointed to see that he was a stranger. ' It was Mr. Ford, but Ford is a cemparativoly common name, especially that spelled without the e on the end, THE FLOWER SHOW The Horticultural Society had a flower show on Friday and Satur- day last in the town hall. And it wasa very great success in every re- spect. There was a fine display of flowers of almost every sort, curt flowers flowering plants, ferns, etc. It was a great display and was most taste- fully arranged, the members of the committee haying that part of the work in hand sparing no labour to matte it a success. The Seaforth Horticultural So- ciety sent a number of gladioli to add to the beauty of the scene, an act of courtesy which was apprec- iated by the local Society. The show was open afternoon and evening and on each evening the Phelan Orchestra dispensed sweet music. And the members of the Girl's Auxiliary served tea, having ar- ranged small tables on the stage for the purpose. The proceeds of the tea went into the hospital fund,, Many were the expressions of as- tonishment at the great variety of the flowers shown The sweetpea display was very good indeed, for so late In the sea- son and the gladioli shown were of great variety and beautiful speci- mens. Mrs. W. Jenkins' first prize spike of pure red and Mr. H. R. Sharp's second prize spike of pure white were about as prfeet specimens as _could be imagined, while there were dozens of others almost as good, Several entries of roses were much admired and the asters were so per- fect that it was hard to tell winch was deserving the prizes. There were also many odd specimens for which no prizes were offered. The ,fact that the show was held upstairs made it more difficult getting the plants up but last year it was found that the Agriculturtal offices were too small to allow a proper dis- play. On Saturday evening the cut flow- ers were sold, netting something like $25 which also went into the hos- pital fund. Below is the list of prizes: Aetr,rg Plume—White, Mrs. 'Scott; Pink, W. J.

Ford, president, carne down to Clinton to meet the members of the Clinton Hospital Board in order to talk over with them co-operation ih the platter of obtaining county grants for She hospitals. Mr. Ford ad- dressed the gathering. The Iocal board, while hoping for an increas- ingly generous yearly grant, seems content to accept' what the county coiincil decides upon when the mat- ter is laid before them, rather than to ask for a definite sum, as the Goderich board did last season. No definite action was taken.

Tho elate of, the hospital bazaar is coming -nearer, Oct. 29th. e ... The canvassers, who 'ask for the hearty co-operation of all ladies' of town and vicinity,', will be out pies-, ently. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED. Mr. and Mrs. Robb. Blair of Bay- field announce the engagement o1 their daughter•, Lola Elizabeth, to Mr. Harold Brandon, also of Bayfield, The wedding will take place in De- troit in October.. TOOK PRIZES AT TORONTO. Mr. T. A Trick, an ambitious young farmer of .Goderich township, won a prize in the "Judging Contest" at the Toronto Exhibition for judg- ing grain and roots. Out of a pos- sible score of 500 he got 363. An- other Huron county young man, 1VIr•. W. A. Soldan of Hensall, took a prize for judging heavy horses, get- ting 150 oat of a possible 200. Mr. Trick also took several prizes for his Holsteins. - BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS. Mr. Murray McNeil, who has been conducting a confectionary and ice cream business for the past year, has sold out to Mr. Edward Wended of Chesley, who is already in possession. Mr. Wendorf has been in the same business in Chesley for the past six years. He event overseas with the Bruce Battalion and saw service 10 France. Mr. McNeil has not just cleolded what he will do. - We trust, howev- er, he will not decide to leave town, Mr.• Wendell makes an announce- ment to the public on another page of this issue, IIOW IT WORKS OUT, We are sometimes inclined to grumble at the price of—say apples, and to think the advance is not jus- tified. Few probably, stop to consid- er that the advance 1n price does not by any means all go to the farmer who grows the fruit. A barrel which used to bring 25c. now costs $1.50 and of course the wages of piercers, packers, haulers, etc. have gone up to doable or more. But in this case the "conserver pays," as usual. Ile not only pays a much larger price for his apples but he doesn't get so many in a barrel. The barrels macre now measure 281/3 inches inbteas of 30, which makes a difference of about a basket in its capacity. The output of an orchard will thereby he in- creased by one basket to every five. BIG POTATOES. As usual Clinton has again out- distanced Goderich. This tune in the natter of large potatoes. 'We be- lieve the Goderich grower's large po- tato weighed eighteen ounces. Mr, E. 1VIunro has had a couple of good - shaped specimen's in his window dur- ing the past week, one weighing one pound six and a half, and another weighing one pounce seven and a half ounces, and Mr. 3. C. 13cMath had one weighing twenty-two and a half °epees. So we gather that rite crop is a good one generally„ A story conies from Blyth about some mon- ster potato weighing two pounds. :But Mr. J. Carrick of Albert street, Clinton, has one weighing two and three-quarter pounds, and Mr. Harty Cook of North street, a fine looking, well -shaped specimen weighing two pounds. Mr. Carrick says there are very few small potatoes in his crop, which will yield about eighty bushels to the quarter acre. And along comes Miss ICathIeen Livermore, a pupil of the Model School, who last spring plant- ed five pounds of - potatoes supplied by the Department of Agriculture, and last week dug ten pailfulis as the yield. Those who attend the Clinton School Fair next week will probably be surprised at the quality of the vegetables grown by the pupils in the different school centres, A BAD ACCIDENT, The. following from today's Free Press refers to a son-in-law of Mrs. Wigginton of. town. It is not yet known whether Mr. Rodgers will re- cover: Sid Hodgins. aged 50, of Lucan, a Prominent race horse driver, was ser- iously hurt yesterday afternoon at the Western Fair grounds in the second heat of the 2.30 pace, when the cart in which he was riding overturned and several horses piled ilp on him. As a result of the accident his skull was fractured and lie is in n serious con- dition at Victoria' Hospital. 1VIr, Hodgins is an experienced delv- er, being a former member of the American Racing Association. I -Te was driving Alto Lynn, a horse owned by J. E. Lucas, of Bothwell. Mr. Hod- gins was streck on the head with a horse's hoof, which was responsible for the fracture, His face was in- jured and one of his legs hurt. The injured man was carried off the track by several men. who rushed to the scene of the accident and Dr. P. C: Banghart and Dr, H. A. Stevenson, Who were at the grounds, gave him Medical aid. He was carried in a stretcher to the hospital tent operated by St. Johns Ambulance Division, No. 4, where his head was dressed. He 'was later removed to Victoria HoeBital 0 1nr• Person' was iit"LtrC in the No t d p ) smaslnip, Mr, Hodgins partially regained con- seionistiess about 9.80 list evening, but hi View of the seriotns-nature of his injuries it is said to lie doubtful if lie will recover, , , S2OOPERYEAR O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o rap] o o ADVANCING c O 0 o The News -Record intends, at o o the beginning of October, to in- o o crease its subscription rate to 0 O $2, with fifty cents added to o o that for postage to the Unit- o o ed States. 0- 0 o This action is being taken o O owing -to the fact that it is o impossible to continue in buss- o a ness at the old rate. The o o price of news -print, without o o which the paper cannot be pub- o o ]ished, has advanced two-thirds o 0 over what it was when.. the o O present proprietor took over o o the business, and at the be- o c ginning of October takes an- o 0 other sharp advance. When o o this happens the Toronto con- o o pang supplying us with paper o o will merely add the advance o o to the bank clraft with which a o we pay and there's nothing o o for us us to do but meet the o o draft.
