Who can beat this ? 4 Amendment to the Sales Act The Board of Trade has received the following important letter from the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa.; An act to amend the inspection and sale act. Ir, view of the fact that an important ammendment to the inspection and sale act, which was passed at the last session :of Parliament comes into force on January 1, 1915, which established now laws for the whole of Cattada respecting flour, .meal,- rolled oats, rolled wheat, feed and vegetable%. it has been deemed advisable by this department that as wide- • spread publicity as possible should: be given tothis matter. I am therefore sending youhere- with a copy of the new act,. and would be glad, if you would kindly bring the matter to the attention of any ofyourmembers who may be interested in the subject. The important features in`con- nection with the new act are that the contents of any bag, sack or package of any of the cereal pro- ducts mentioned must be stated thereon, and that uniform weights per bushel or bag, for vegetables throughout the whole of Canada, will be definitely., established, For Relief of the �e{g an Suffers The deepest sincere sympathy which Canadians generally feel for the brave Belgians, who rather than submit to the plans of the Prussioan War Lord, have had their lands' devastated, their sol- diers killed and their wives and children left homeless and starv- ing should have a fitting response from the people of Huron County. It should be clearly understood that this fund should be entirely separate from the patriotic fund. The need of the Belgians is accute and immediate action is deemed advisable. The -pressing need is flour, bacon, lard, beans, and food- stuff generally, also clothing of all kinds. The New Era understands that the Grand. Trunk would ship, free of charge, all goods to the sea- port. / The New Era believes that if the Women's Patriotic Club would take the matter of clothing. A car load of cast off clothes are hanging in -a good many clothes closets could be had and no one would miss them. The cry to help the Belgians comes as did that to Paul to go to Macedonia. We are bound to help the Belgians because they are flesh and blood and belong to the human race. We are giving to the glory of God when we are giving to the starving Belgians, who are still suffering for the cause of truth and justice. Central Committee Organizes On Friday evening of last week, actingon the motion passed by the Board of Trade and published in the New Era recently the members selected from the var ions organizations in town met to organize a Central Relief and Patriotic Committee. Mr. John Ransford, President of the Board of Trade was in ' the chair and after explainingthe call ing of, the meeting callefor the election of officers and they were made as follows,— Chairman, John Ransford. Treasurer, D. A. Forrester. Secretary, J. W. Treleaven. The committee is composed of Revs. Messrs. Alli», Potts, Rut- ledge, Harper, Fairful, Hogan and Captain of S. A. Womens' Patriotic Society—Mrs. (Rev.) Allin and Mrs. Geo. McTag- gart. C. C. I.—J. W. Treleaven and D. A. Forrester. Council—Mayor Jackson and Councillor Paisley. Board of Trade—J. Ransford and J. S. Andrews. It is expected that the Commit- tee will meet weekly. hmeo's Patriotic Society Wants Aid The Women's Patriotic Society intend holding a "Market" in the Town Hall Saturday afternoon the 17th, inst., commencing at 2 o'clock, They are asking from the ladies of the town and surrounding con - try donations of home-made bak- ing, butter, eggs, fowl, wood, fruit vegetables and home-made candy, alt of which will be sold and the proceeds used to purchase supplies for Red Cross Work: Tea and refreshments will be served during the afternoon and Mrs. Humphreys, who is doing so much during her short stay both for her native country and her town, has kindly consented to sing at 4 o'clock and again at five. The Women's Patriotic Society has been atwork now for. several 'weeks sewing and knitting for our soldier boys naturally it takes a great deal of yarn and cloth to keepthe members of th e society— over one hundred in number—busy so that there are heavy demands on the treasury. It is hoped that every woman reader of the New Era, member or non-member, will do all she can both as to donations and patronage, Mrs. Brydone will be in charge of an "Old Curiosity Shop," for which donations of books, pic- tures, China, Fancy Work, etc., will be gladly received.

Jackson Jr., whose re- putation for getting up big local shows in Clinton• is well known, is again responsible for the biggest and best yet, local entertainment ever given in Clinton, as over 1250 people, more than one half of out population filled the town hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings and enjoyed from start to finish every item in, the big program. The big minstrel act alone was worth double the price and we re- gret that space does not allow us to make mention ;as we would like, but the songs, jokes and mon ologues and the costumes were good, and the soloists, end men, Messrs. Stewart Jackson, Whit- more, Ford, McCaughey, Thomp- son, Wilken, East, Jack Bowden, Willis Cooper and His Worship, the Mayor, as centre man, and but not the least, Master Toni Jackson, a seven year old musical prodigy, Who brought down the house. Mrs. Humphreys of Jack- sonville, Florida, sang twice on Tuesday night. Following the minstrel act some splendid moving pictures and song and dance by Elgin Mason were put on while the stage was being cleared for .avery funny and en- tertaining comedy sketch entitled "Tho Two Lunatics" by Mr. Stew- art Jackson and Miss Dagmar Printze, of Toronto, a very charm -, The 'lOritaieli Ildlickaa, a dam friend, prp ft ht r and a fearsome foe, Toro ress ing young lady who by her splen- did acting and so natural stage presence won over the entire aud- ience. During the arranging of the stage for another musical com- edy by Mr. Stewart Jackson and Miss Printze, Otto Fink and Jack McCaughey entertained the aud- ience in a most appreciative mau- ner in a Dutch monologue, and stamped themselves as entertain- ers, After more moving pictures, the closing musical sketch gave. Mr. Stewart Jackson and Miss Printze splendid opportunity to show the talent that the sonaof Mr. Tom, Jackson has -and from the sub- lime to the rediculous—in singing, acting or at the piano, is wonder- fully good and clever and it is no wonder Mr. Jackson is meeting with the success in theatrical life. While Mr. Thos. Jackson is respon Bible for the big show, Mr. Stewart Jackson and Miss Jean Chidley is deserving 'of great praise in train- ing the boys in the choruses and for her splendid work at the piano and the setting of the stage for the two eomedys. We understand the receipts are $250 which will be turned over to the committee for Local relief—Mr. Jackson paying all expenses. We take it upon ourselves on behalf of the citizens. to thank Mr. Thos. Jackson for this big fund which will be needed this winter.
