"SAFETY.FIRST" ` The play,'"Safety.F.irst" was put on in, the toNvii hall on Tuesday evening 'Under he uspices of the Huron Cen- tral Agricultural AsSociation. It 'is a ihree-act comedy with a caste of ,Ten and created a lot of a- rosement from start to finish. The •scene opened showing a sit- ting V00m in the home of the Mont- goindrys and Mabel Montgomery in a. state bordering, on the hysteribaluew. big to the fact that her husband had 'gone out with a friend the evening before and had not returned. ' Her new Irish maid, Mary Ann, was very sympathetic but she seemed to recall a great many harrowing incidents where husbands had met with acci- dents and was convinced something terrible had happened. While the young wife is 'still in this state of worry Elmer Flannel,,,a college boy. and cousin of her husband, comes iu and announces that he has given up his studies, taken a position as ticket - seller at a picture show and is going to marry Zuleika, a young Turkish girl. 'While Mabel Montgomery and her sister,Virginia_ Bridger, who is engaged to Jerry, , are at the 1,1OliCe Ottion trying to get some informa- tion, Jack Montgornezy and his friend Jeery, come home. They have had a bad night and are, moreover, rather afraid of complications. • Jack 15 especially worried as to how he can explain things 'fa his wife. .While they are stilt discussing this Detective McNutt comes to arrest the pair for getting into a row and kickinett pole ice officer, bringing with him Zuleika to identify. them. They are informed that they will have to spend a anontb in „Igaol and when the ladies arrive -they are told that they have been ap- phinted delegates to a .Shriners' eon- arention in Florida, Mr.„1VIeNutt and Zuleika ace introduced as friends. of Jack who are going to Florida on their wedding trip. .While they aro away word comes that they have -been washed overboard end are drowned, and the ladies are in great dietress, ,On the arrival •home of the two friends the ladies ard out ehoosing a monument and get a shook to find Jack ,end Jerry very much entre and in possession of the house when they return from their melancholy errands They basic to do some explaining of course, as to thole escape but they .ens to tbe getting along very well- hntil complications arise when Aboe Ben Mocha, father of Zuleika, eomee demanding 'somebody's blood for 'the abduction of his daughter and the ladies learn that the Turkish.girl ha$ been absent too, and that she is not married to McNutt. IVIabel's mother insists upon a separation and the eerie are taken"to her home and the 'men are forbidden the house. They are very ' unhappy and Jack and Mabel - plan to elope; ,Terry dieguised as Mc- Nutt explains a- few things Co' the mother and later leaves a note for iVfabel from Jack telling her he Will be waiting for her at a certain hen that night. This is found by Mary Ann, the maid,who is MaNutt'e sweetheart, and she, thinking it is from him climbs down the ladder into Jaek's arms. ' • The household is a - rotted, all come out tp see what the trouble is and in due time everything is explained and all are happse Elmer and Zuleika in the meantiMe having been married. • Mr. M. T. Corless takerthe role of Sack Montgomery and makes a great success of the roll of the devoted bus nervous ,husband. Mr. Arthur Groves is equally .successful as ,Terry Arnold, who feels that he can,"explain". mat- ters to anybody and --whose motto is "safety fitst." Mr. 0. II. Venner is seen to advantage as McNutt, the de- tective, and sweetheart of Mary Ann. Ms'. Hall Farnham takes she part of Elmer Flannel,. the college boy who is in love with the Turkish maiden and whose courseof true love didn't .ran at all smoothly for some time; Mr t). A. Andrew's _portrayal of "The Terxible Turk," ;the •father of Zuleika, was sufficiently realistic, Mies Belle Ireland played the role of Jack's wife and 'aia" it well, as she always does her part on- the stage; Mrs. Frank -Gdew, ab Virginia, was graceful and natural; Mrs. McIVI-urray played the part of the proud mother to perfec- tion; IVIiss Barbara Melver made a very eller/nine Zuleika, indeed, and one didn't' wonder poor Elmer lost hid .heart to he, while Mrs. 0. L. Pais- 'ley's acting as Mary Ann, who had one of the heaviest parts •in the play, ivas exceedingly well done. She kept the house laughing most oe the time, The scene in the last act, the gar- den at Mee.

HURON EXECUTIVE MEETS An executive meeting of the Huron County Social Service Connell was )lield in Clinton on Monday and, on ' motion of Dr. Je A. Irwin 'of Wing - ham, seconded by A. M. Robertson of Goderich, a resolution was passed ex- -peessing satisfaction with- the work-' in' of the Ontario Temperance Act, • Setting forth the nianeradvantages ac- cruing fromti, its enforcement and re- commending that the matter be not now opened un again. The last clause of the -resolution, whichis too lengthy to print, in full, reads as follows: • "Therefore, resolved, that this Ex- ecutive Committee representing the various Municipalities of' the County, inform the Premier of Ontario, that it is our opinion, that at present, thee is no popular demand from our people that a Plebeecite Shall be ta- ken on the question, with the attend- ant expenee, confttsion to business and other interference with the con- duct of affairs. That the immediate need of the community is for the Government 'and its members to give every p.ossible assistance to the eers charged with the enforcement of the Temperance Acts, and to use every available means of preventing the brewers and distillers of the Pro-, vince from supplyhig the illicit traffic," and also clisehntinue the licenses to Ontario wineries to make intoxicating wines for beverage purposes. That this organization shall continue to use its influence to have the citizens of our county give all Poseible help in carrying on the campaign of • as to .the evils of the Hoe twat and the benefits of prohiesitiohe and also give personal help to the local officers ohaiged with the respon- sibilityof enforcieg the Temperanee That copies of this resolution be Sent to the Premier of the Province, the local members and the press," - MIT. STOTTIEHS' FIGURES The following is a report from the Goderich Signal of an address given at a banquet held in that town recently under the auspices .of the Lions Club t Stothers, in elle of the meet in- teresting speeches of the evening, dis- classed the possibilities of raising farm products in Huron county, for boat shipment from Coderich to Fort William and Dultithe or Detroit and Cleveland, mentioning in this connec- tion apples, honey, hay, beam and po- tatoes: , There were today; 12,000 acres of orchard in the county,' of which 4,000 acres were in Goderich and Colborne townships. If each acre yielded only fifty barrels, there would be 000,000 'barregal-fe The fruit in- dustry hacl suffered during the past .few years said the speaker, but he be_ lived it would be rejuvenated. As far back as 1896 Huron Bounty had grown 200,00b lerirrels of ap. Ples,• One million pounds a hgneSr were prodeced• in Iluron einnity each year, said Mr f Stothers. A splendid mar- ket for this partieular product Was largely lost to the producer In Wes- tern Ontario through prohibitive mil freight rates. There was a depend- able market for hay in Detroit, Cleve- land and Buffalo, and again boat_ freight from Goderich would prove"of inestimable value to Huron county farmers. Huron county in raising between 125,000 and 150,000 bushels of beans, stood third among the counties of the Province in this can- nection. ' The bean crop of Rerun •Was'raised within a radius of thirty miles of the town of Goderich. There -was, too, the right kind of land in Huroneounty necessary for the good growth ,otatoes he large quanti- ties. In closing, Mr. Stothers expressed himself as satisfied and confident that if Huron county farmers were given the opportunity of freighting their produce on a haat, out of Godealeh, to points west and south,"ample busineas could be secured from them.
