nual.e At -Horne in the town hall

Friday da
evening, the event proving ng
th
be a,most successful one. The "'Ma-

as one of the most enjoyable social
events of • the year and.the commit-
tee.in charge.' exerted themselves to
make this an -outstanding one.
The decorations in the hall were
very handsome and appropriate, Ma-
sonic emblems and colors, colored
lights,• flags and bunting lending
themselves in,the scheme of harmon-
ious decoration. The Stage was made
into an attractive living room and

THAT SALE OF CHILDREN
A. very interesting ineeting was
held in: the Salvation Axrny. Hall on
Saturday night last when the,mem-
hers of the local Corps, under the
direction of Councillor Fred Liver-
more, presented an Auction Sale' of
Children," The announcement of
that strangly named service attract-
ed a crowd. oi' 'curious blonde, who
thoroughly :enjoyed Lire fine presen-
tation.
Four sweet little children, three
girls and a boy were ranged on the
block in front of the Auctioneer. The
dlek declared the "terms of sale,"
which stated particularly that the
bidder securing the Children must a-
bove
•all else provide for their eter-
nal welfare.
The auctioneer ptoceeding with the
'sale received several attractive bids,.
amdng them the following: "Self In-
terest" Who engaged 'to teach the
children to 'look atter No. 1, always
first, last and all the time and to
make it their chief ,consideration to
safe- guard their own • comfort and
well-being, This tempting offer was
refused Ey the Auctioneer because it
ilia not provide for the Children's
Eternal. Welfare.
"Sport," was the next bidder and
a very tempting offer did Miss
'Spelt present but this also was re-
jected for the same reason,
Then "Fashion" made a high bid
for the four young people, offering a
very tempting picture of the benefits
to accrue to them • if they would fol-
low the fashions of the. world; The
auctioneer was adamant however and
refused to., be moved because no pro-
vision was made for ..the Iife' after
this one.,
"W\aalth" then put in a bid. "With
stoney" pleaded Mr.. Wealth "all
these other things .can the purchased
and 'I stibetit that as I air the high=
est bidder these children should be
'knocked down 25 me"
"'What about- their eternal wel-
fare," quoted • the auctioneer, "you
'have sant nothing about it." And
Mr. -Wealth was reduced to shames
faced eilenee and the auctioneer still
-held out fora 'higher bidder
The• -most attractive bid thus far
made was then offered by "Mica -
tion," and the auctioneer was vis -
ably affected by It, but quickly re-
covering himself he reminded at-
tractive Miss Education in her flow -
'Mg -academie robes that 'like all the
others she had not provided for the
eternalwell-being of the Children for
sale and he had ' to call for a
still 'higher bidder, reminding' his.
auditors. that he had a !valuable re-
serve bid.
Then came in,"ibis. True •Religion;"
who from the start captured the
auctioneer's whole -hearted good -will.
Sn ejhofce,,welI directed sentences: did
he commend the auctioneer for Tris
refusal of former bids and presented`
the incomparable value of True. Re-
ligion which Vvould•.adequatelyineeb

ed with a rather peculiar aeeident
while calling at The News -Record of -
rice recently. He hadear tarried in a
large 'epee of samples n
d on laying
it down on the desk ane edge drop-
ped' on the tip of a pen^ handle, which
flipped- rip and the point stuck into
his forehead, just aboVi the eye. The
pen entered the flesh far° enough to_
stay until it was pulled out, Mk.
Miller admitted that 3t Was a logi-
cal thing to be stabbedwith a pen in
a newspaper office but both he and
ourselves were glad the pen did. not
strike the eye. First aid was applied
and no ill effects 'followed.
COUNTY RETRENCHING
When the Finance'Committee of
the Huron County Council recom-
mended that the salaries of the coun-
ty officials be the same ne last year,
Reeve McbTab moved that the salary
1 of the engineer be cu1:$400 and that
of the clerk and treasurer 5300.
Reeve Elliott objected that the three
hardest -worked officers were being
discriminated against is and said if
1 cuts had to be made a ;'general reduc-
tion should be made, Finally, before
the report was passed; an amend-
ment to reduce all salaries by five
percent was carried
Gaoler Reynolds liter appeared
before the council in reference to this
action, protesting that . his :salary
could u d not be reduced without the con-
sent of the Provincial` Inspector, as
part of his salary was paid by the
Province. ne,

local agents last Thursday evening,
by a margin of 5 goals to 2. This
game decided the winners hi the
group- and Clinton, in new in line for
the play-off in the semi-finals with
either Listowel or Guelph.
The game . started fast, with Ex-
eter doing aggressive work. Pass-
more, their ]eft defence,.seeured the
puck and bored his way tq send the
rubber through for the first counter
of the game and the only: one of the
period. .
In the second frame ' Hildebrand,
one of the locals' alternates, broke
through and tied •the scorer' This
was followed, in quick succession,
by roster, the visitors' tricky een-
tire, scoring in a 'scramble in front
of the goal. Those are the most
difficult situations for• the goalies
to handle. ;This goal seemed hi
doubt
but was
conceded, and
the store stood '2=1,for .the visitors.
However, with about three :minutes
to go before the bell rang the period
out, Rennie shot from the blue line,
to tie the score again ate -2. ,
In the third, Gibbs. started the
period with a close -in shot that
found the net, which was followed
in quick , succession by Rennie get-
ting through from a scramble at
close-up. With five minutes to play
Pickett got by for the final counter,
and the bell rang with the score

W, I. MEETING
Fifty ladies attended the last
meeting of the Women's'' Institute,
,
which was
a most interesting
one.

and the mtnute
s were received the
report froerthe town council regard,-
ing
'the rest roost was brought up.
The council offered to have the rest
room cleaned, up once a week and a
representative eo"mmittee ' of the In-
stitute was•, appointed to have the
room under supervision :and report
from time ,to. time. It is, hoped that
those who accept the privilege of us-
ing this room, will -remember, to use
and not 'abuse the• privilege:
'The treasurer reported cash on
hand $66.65. The -convenor of Fin-
ance. committee brought in' some
splendid suggestions 'of methods of
making money and a few were adopt-
ed by the Institute.. One of these'
which may interest citizens of Clin-
ton and surrounding country is this:
The member's are divided .into two
groups, the ]last and West, or the
Blues and Reds; the Reds to collect
asmany small toppers and the,'Blnes
as'rnany large coppers as they can
for the next ttva months, so anyone
earning Within hailing 'distance of
Clinton may not be 'surprised if he
is tagged for a few coppers. -
`rhe roll call, which was very well
responded to by "Jokes," created a
period of real amusement. After all
business had been transacted Miss
Lucile- Greet favoured. the audience
withveryi
a fine' reading and Miss
Ellen Charlesworth a piano solo.
Mss 0. L. Paisley then presented a
fine address on "Helping the Boy and
Girl Through the 'Teen Age." Di-
viding the topic 'into four divisions,
namely; hone, school or intellectual,
community or social, and church or
religions, 11Ii:s. Paisley made it in-
structive, interesting and pleasing,
This Is a paperthatinthe opinion of

The Rev. G. W. Sherman, the new
pastor of the Clinton and Auburn
Baptist churches, who has been a
resident of Clinton for a few weeks,
is going to like living here. We
know he Js, for he says he never
lived in any community :which he
didn't like and we feel sure Clinton
will be no exception.
1•Ir. Sherman is of U.E. Loyalist'
stock and was born at Plum Hollow
but he has travelled from east to
west and lived in between, so he
knows his Canada and he's glad his
people came over here to settle. He
is glad because he think;s this is
the finest country in the world and
that it has a great future before it.
We agree with hint there and so are
very glad to concede that he is it
sensible and far-seeing man.
•ZVL:, Sherman carne here from Lan-
ark, where he had been for eight
years and those who read what the
Lanark Era sant about him, which
Was copied in this paper a few weeks

DIED IN STRANGE LAND
Citizens were shocked when it be-
eame generally known on Saturday
that Mr. H. G. Harper, president
.and general manager of the Clinton
Knitting Company, had passed away
at Kiugston, Jamaeia, where he and
his wife had gone on a pleasure trip.
Mr. Harper, who had seemed in
perfect health before leaving here on
this little trip, accompanied by Mrs.
Harper, was suddenly taken with a
stroke of paralysis shortly after his
arrival at Kingston and never ral-
lied, but sank rapidly.
On the reorganization a the Clin-
ton Knitting Company about nine
years ago Mr. I-Mrper• was elected
president and general manager and
he has carried on in that capacity ev-
er since. He was a niers of keen
business ability and under. his man-
agement the business has grown and
extended greatly. He was a ratan of
reserved habit and made few inti-
mate friends, although he was held
in esteem by those who knew hien.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, lV2rs. (Dr.) Shield of Lis-
towel. A brother, II. harper of
Vancouver, also survives.
The remains are being brought
home for burial and will arrive in
London .today, but at time of unit-
ing no arrangements have been made
for the funeral.
Another member of this company,
Mr. Vincent, also died very sudden-
ly a, few years ago.
Col. H. B. Combe is a director and
vice-president of the Company.
