the chief items of interest at the dos-
ing session of the Perth County Tem-

the hope that the 0. 1'. A. was here

see a dry Dominion and Mr. Hamilton
urged that the Society do its best to
prevent the repeal of the Act at the
end of three years.
Field Secretary E. G. Powell then

not make a written report, as he said
he had been sick .since he received
