Many a man has felt that -nay on a
rainy, windy day. The modern Rain-
coat, however, does not confine its useful-
ness to rainy days.
'Our raincoats, while being water-
proof, have a style and dash to them
that make them as serviceable for an ov-
ercoat as for a raincoat,

THE 'BAPTIST CHURCH,
The Oddiellows attended divine
service in this church on Sunday ev-
ening last when the pastor, Rev. J
K. Fairfull, preached an appropriate
and much appreeiated sermon. There
were about sixty members of the
body present for among all the so-
cieties none turn out in greater num-
bers to the annual chetah parade
than do the three -linkers. The choir
of the church led the singing and
Miss Lillian Pairfull readered a solo
very pleasingly during the service.
WILL TRY OIL.
For several yaars there has een
an agitation loimIly in favor of us-
ing oil on the macadamised streets
instead of water as a dust settler.
There is such a thing as having tee
much water even in a • "dry town,"
that is on the streets, and there can
be no doubt but that repeated
sprinkling and subsequent sWeeping
has taken considerable of the top
dressing off front street which is con-
sequently not now so smooth as it
was. It has been contended that
oiled streets are hard on rubbers,
automobile and buggy tires, etc.,
but probably the oil refiners have
been able to overcome that objection
to a considerable extent. The post
of such an oil treatment as is pro -
'posed for this season will amount
to about six hundred dollars, not so
amen more than was paid last seas-
on for watering. It is well worth
trying. The coeneil will decide next
'Monday night.
• ROSE DAX A SUCC'ESS.
Saturday last was "Rose Day," in
Clinton, the members of the Young
Ladies' Patriotic Auxiliary having
undertaken to work with Miss
inghame in selling roses and other
flowers, the profits to be turned in-
to the Auxiliary treasury. At the
meeting the previous week commit-
tees were appointed to canvas the
different wards for orders, this being
done early in the week, and as a
result over two thousand flowers
were ordered. An extra supply was
also obtained and these were com-
pletely cleaned out too, The girls
assisted in handling the flowers and
each committee was responsible for
the delivery of its orders ancljudging
from the many bouquets delivered
about town on Friday and Saturday
the homes in Clinton most have been
very bright anit fragrant for over
the week -end, over three thousand
blooms having been sold. The Profits
of the sale amounted to almost $05. •
THE TOWN COUNCIL.
At the council meeting Monday ev-
ening all the members, with 'the ex-
ception of Councillor Wallis who is
111 the west, were present and many
matters pertaining to the town's
best interests 0111110 in for more or
less discussion.
Mr, V. Dickson was aPPoitrted to •a
mace on the staff of fire fighters to
fill the vacancy caused by the en-
listment of D. Tasker,
Mr, Wm. McIntyre has been given
the use of the Park for the summer
for the sum of five dollars, he to
keep the weeds cut, etc,
The street committee made various
recommendations regarding street
improvement and the probabilitp is
that some of the side streets wilt
be put into better shape,
It was decided to raise the poll
tax from one dollar to three and
lie clerk was instructed to draw up
a bylaw to that effect.
Tim first court of revision will be
held on the 26th inst.
The matter of further work en the
market square was discussed and
it was handed over to the propertp
committee to deal with as they
shall decide best. '
The counci1 decided to assume pay-
meht for all water used in public
buildings and in the public' foun-
tains, the Public 'Utilities making
request for such an arrangement so
that the department might be put
upon a striotlp business basis.
Messrs. W. 13rydonef 1+. D. IVIdnag-
gart and A. T. Cooper, president,
aloe president and secretary respec-
tively of the Huron County War
Auxiliary, waited upon the council
to ask for a grant to aid in the•
work of recruiting the Huron bat-
talion, two hundred and ENT, meu
being still wanted to make out the
number. Alter hearing the case as
stated 1»' the deputation the council
voted one hundred dollars for the
use of the Auxiliary, This was in
addition to the stun voted DA a
previous sitting.
Bylaw Nb. 4, 1016, amending one
Passed away back in the eighties re-
garding rents to be obtained for
the town hall, was read the third
time and passed. As exnenses in ev-
ery direction are advancing con-
stantly it was considered no more
than right that those wishing to
make use of the town hall should
Pay a little more for it "Than .was
paid thirty or thirty -live years ago.
In future any outside company
wishing to use the hall, whether in
conjunction with a local organization
or not, will pay $12.50 for the priv-
ilege instead of $10. Foe purely.
political meetings the fee will be
15 if heated, 13 if not heated. At
ally meeting 'where a fee is charged
or a collection taken the hall rent
will be 15 or 13 according as heat is
used or not. For dancing a fee of
110 will be charged and when the
council chamber le also used an
extra 15 will be added, Rehearsals
will be charged for at $3 and 11 ac-
cording as heat is or is not requir-
ed.
•
THEY'LL ALL BE HERD',
• Mayor Thompson got in touch wit
military headquarters at London thi
week and succeeded in securing, via
Colonel Shannon, an assurance that
The Hurons will remain in the Coun-
ty yet awhile and that they will
mobilize in Clinton on May 24th.
There will thus ill this • nub of
Huron be great doings on Victoria,
Day.

fieient civic servant and a genial and
sociable citizens Mr. Chant enjoys the

THE TEIVIBERANCE CONVENTION
The reports presented at the coun-
ty temperance convention held in
Wesley church last week were very
encouraging, and showed that the
More the U. T. A. is worked out the
better results are obtained. And the
fact that Perth county is now dry
will be an additional help.
The 0. T. A. being a Dominion law
will remai11 in'force in 'Huron when
Provincial prohibition comes into
Force in September, but when On-
tario's passing into the dry column
is ratified by the vote of the people,
the 03.A, here will be repealed,
• Mr. A. T. Cooper, who has been
either secretary, vice-president or
president of the Huron County
Branch of the Dominion Alliance for
the past eleven consecutive years,
asked to be relieved of office. This
the delegates were very reluctant to
do and re-elected him, but as ho
positively declined to accept his de-
cision was acquiesed in, but in recog-
nition of his past services was
unanimously made honorary 'presi-
dent, Beyond all question the Al -
'lance has not had a more indefatig-
able worker than Mr, A. T. Cooper.

"R.3.GS, BONES AND BOTTLES."
Monday and Tues -dap were rag and
Palter clays for the W. P. S. of Clin-
ton when householders were eupposed
to gather together everything of the
kind having accumulated since the
last collection in November and ac-
commodating members of the 1.61st
with horses and • wagons gathered
them up and loaded them in a car
ready at .the depot. Nothing which
wind be turned into money was re-
fused by the W.P.S. And it seems
rather surprising what can be turned
Into money of that which the =jot-
ity of householders, while not per-
haps exactly wasting, are apt to
treat with but scant respect and to
dispose of in 11 job lot to a junk
dealer at whatever figure • he may
name. Bottles, old. metal, copper,
old rubbers, de., as well as rags and
papers were all accepted and when
the returns were received • front the.
sale of same the W.P.S. • treasury
was considerably replenished.
DEA.T1.1 03' W. H. PERRIN,
Mr. NV, H. Perrin, a resident of
Clinton for over half a century, died
yesterday forenoon, at the age of
fourscore and five "years.
Throughout •his -whole business
career he was engaged in the pur-
chase of grain .and as in the early
days Clinton was a great central
market, particularly during the
sleighing periods, Mr. Perrin's year-
ly turnover amounted to a, great
man)] thousand dollars. The element
of risk in the business was greater in
those days than at the present and,
as did more than one other of the
local dealers, he was caught by a
slump in the market anti financially
crippled.
Mr. Perrin 'was enterprising and
in his palmy daps he MLitt the fine
residence now' owned by Mr. William
Jackson, the block .011 Rattenbury
street, now occupied by the Jackson
Mfg. Co, and a couple of cottages.
As tinle rolled on and the weight
of yea's began to assert itself, he
continued in bhsiness though in a
diminished way and always kept in
close touch with the market situa-
tion, home and 1 °reign. That was •
the one subject in which his, iiiterest
continued unabated.
Mrs. Perrin passed on several
years ago, the sole survivors now
being their two chillbien, W. Gordo»
'Perrin, who was associated with his
father in the business, and Mrs, •W.
• H. Brownlee of Gooding, Idaho, who
reached the old home a few hours
before her father succumbed to the
grim reaper.
