At a meeting of the Presbytery of

Rev. T. J. Robinson, M, A. of Lakefteld,
formerly of ?Milverton, was permitted to
resign his charge. He will take the

Advertising Pays.
At the Fairs and Exhibitions con-
vention in Toronto, Mr, R. J. Bushell,
`tanager of the Kingston Fair, during
She discussion upon the president's re-
port, made an illuminating statement,
In saying that when he tool[ over the
management "his fair hoard was
spending $70 in advertising and there
was a deficit," "Last year," he said,
"we Spent $600 in advertising and the
business of the fair showed an in -
:crease of 400 per cent., and there was
•a surplus." Argument like that and
proof like that need no auxiliary com-
ment in order to show that it pays to
advertise.
'Votes for Indians.
Without a dissenting voice, 'the
Orange Grand Lodge of Ontario West
in convention at Stratford endorsed
.a resolution urging the Provincial
Government to re -enfranchise the
Indians of the province. Scobie Logan
...Chief of the Muncey tribe, who was a
delegate to the convention, declared
there were 18,000 Indians in Ontario
who can intelligently exercise their

tigated Mr. Gamey's charges, died a few

secretary, Elgin Meyers, who figured as
a witness in the investigation, has been
