The Christian needs this spirit. The ox represents service, one of thereatest words of Christianity. We ate saved to serve and it is the only means to happiness.

The scene of the play is set in an officers' mess room "somewhere in .Bra•tce," in 1917. The play portrays the gniusing experiences of the young .wifee of an officer, who tries to vioi'i hint dis- guised as aFrench. n4fig er from Paris, uani2d " uh�t✓;e.The players all took finks'. parts well, and every, de- :,". as perfect.

For some years pastthe ' jewelry , business of Mr, Fred Savauge has been outgrowing the size of the store occupied by him in the Graves' block, which has resulted in a new jewelry store being opened up by Mr. Savauge in the Cardno block opposite the Post Office, and which presents a most rich and pleasing appearance. The work of removing from the former store on the east side of - the street has been com- pleted and all is set and ready for business as usual. The larger prem- ises are well filled with the choicest of jewelry, silverware, cut glass, silver flatware, clocks, watches and everything pertaining to a first-class jewelry store. To this has been added an exceptionally fine and well assorted stock of fine china, art pot- tery and glassware. This new de- partment will present a line of china just a little out of the ordinary, being mostly hand painted and very suitable for gift purposes in in- dividual pieces, or in sets. A most modern optical parlor is a feature that will appeal strongly to 'those who have visual defects. Every type MAIN STREET PAVING. The Godson Contracting Co., of Toronto, began the asphalt, paving of Mao street at the Goderich street crossing on Friday morning. The crossing was finished and open for traffic on Sunday. • On Monday the. first coarse -oat was laid and rolled to John street and on TueSdan, the second finer top coat was applied. Over the ,second coat a thin dusting of • ground limestone rock dust is brushed which removes the -black surface and prevents the asphalt sticking to the rollers or wheels pass - Mg over it. Many favorable com- ments are, heard on the work com- pleted;.and apparently Seaforth is about to lose the prominent position it has held. for some time as a bumpy town. Thecompany have quite a large outfit at the station for mixing and preparing the paving material. The crushed rock is being brought in cars and the asphalt in tank cars which are run on a siding near the cattle yards. The rocic is unloaded by a c'iamshell. derrick on a large truck. This clamshell also keeps the elevator supplied with rock or sand as needed, The elevator takes the rock up to the mixer where it is mixed after heating with hot asphalt pumped from the tank on the siding. The mixer is operated by a large - portable engine. under the direction of Mr. Louis Eberhar' After the mixture reaches the proper temper- ature it is dropped into a wagon backed under the mixer and carted to the streets, where a gang of men are very expert in raking it to the required depth, before the big steam roller passes over it, leaving it smooth and closely packed. COLD SNAP IN MAY. The weather this week is surpris- ingly cold for the month of May. Since Sunday there has been frost every night and on Monday forenoon the temperature was low enough to freeze tomato plants outside the win- dows of stores on Main street, and there was snow afternoon and even- ing, A heavy white frost was on ev- erything Tuesday morning.

Only thecherry and a few peach [blossoms are open, and with mild weather in the near future a heavy fruit crop is looked far, YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE.
