Thepublishers viii � be pleased to have you say a good word for The New Era to your friends. As a Christmas' present 'to an absent .friend or relative it is ,sure to be appreciated. Mr. We B. Weidhammer, 13. for several years' the efficient rrinei- pal of the Exeter. iContihrualion, School bas resigned his position and has been' appointed principal of the Oakville High School' at a salary of $4.700 per annum!.

This is the highest; price everaid before. pIn New York they are selling at 75e per'doze-n, an .dthe National Housewives' Lea- gue in that city have decided mot to buya single le eg comedown to 30hc. Whatis the reason of the bigh price? Winter shortage is'the official explanatioo But against this. winter shortage is the known fact that millions of eggs are now in cold storage : in this country, and that monoplies are carrying out operations that largely result in concerning the egg market, What the Eous'ewives League is recommending as avol- untary effort to; combat the egg trusts is what People have beeln compelled by motives of economy to do. Eggs are being rapidlyel- iminated from the dietary of the lnassei, The egg trusts are doing exactly what the diamond trusts in South Africa are doing. They are restraining production to keep (up prices.' If eggs were reasonable in l.riee there would he a far greater demand for ahem than there isn't present , and poultry keeping 'wouldro orbe tionatel encouraged.P P Y PLEASES. LARGE AUDIENCES.

A very clever and spirited repre- sentation of the above wasgiven; in the Town Hall on Friday even- ing last by the young people : of Wesley -church. The (hall was crowded to the door by an interest ed and attentive audience who as- sisted the performers very much by their hearty.appreciation and - generous applause. Before the rale ing of the curtain a prologue was delivered by Mrs. W. S. Harland, who in a few well chosen words informed the audience as to the. nature of the coming entertain- ment. The hostess of the evening, Miss Florence Cunningham appear- ed perfectly at home in her part, receiving the members of the Lad- i ie's Aid with eery grace, andintno.- dueing them to her distinguished guests from Boston, Miss Olive Cooper and lilies May East. The little,olei grandmother was already on the. stage at the rising of tie ' curtain; this part was' taken most cleverly by' Miss Ida Twitchelt,who 1 captured all hearts by' her very nal ural characterization, The part of Maid was assigned to 14IisaBessie !Davis, and her appearance was generally the occasion foe a laugh, I During the intnodtuetions, as one lady followed another upon , the stage, the audience was convulsed with merriment at the costumes worn, Many of these Were extreme lyhandsome and hans o ie wore declared to be the most becoming, But the men in the seats, who .enjoyed them so much, seemed uneonsious of the fact, that these strange looking habiliments, were simply. the dresses- of our mothers and grandmothers which they have so often declared to be more becom- ing than the scanty skirts.of these more degenerate days, A good dual sof latitude as � allowed as v o to the period repuesented but the. voluminous skirts appeared to be the prevailing fashion, and some m of 'the ladies;, found difficulty in ,eaganceriag their tilling (!loop Fair's-- Timely Hints If that "bad beginning good ending":phraseapplie9 to winter there is touch hope in the start -November gave us.

The presidlent'a part vas ,verty ably taken by Miss Dorothy Cantelon who proved herself to be t.hei com- ing business woman of Clinton char itabie associations. At the conlu sion of the business part 'ofthe meeting a short programme was rendered beginning with The Black' Hawk Waltz by .Mins. Gladys, '.Can- telon, during the performance of which every' one ofltire twenty- seven ladies on the platform en- gaged gaged in 1 animated conversation in a manner natural enough 'to remind us of our own drawing rooms at 'some At Home. A quar- tette Kentucky Babe was beauti- fully rendered by Mrs. East and the Misses Boles, . Beatrice -.Green and Bixby Wise, this was, heartily encored. A recitation by the two little Misses 'Keller, was very mm uch enjoyed and was followed by asolo a beautiful old time song, by Miss Beatrice Green, My Mother Bids me Bind maltase. The, last piece on the programme was a chorus by the, members, of the Ladie's Aid en- titled The Lords of Creation; and was led by ,tithe suffragette. If there seems to be any incongruity in having a suffregette attend an early Victoria ladies meeting- it only .goes to prove how advanced were the people of Mohawk)Cross roadie. This part was taken in a really masterly manner by Miss Emma Southcombe, who welided herbaton to -such effect, that' the audience wee coanp0eeiely over- whelmed and 'am encore was im- portunately deniaeded.
