DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE
/A destructive cyclone developed on
Sunday afternoon which did much
damage to .bu'ildings in Stanley,
Tuckersmith, 'Hullett and McKillop.
About five o'clock in the afternoon a
severe electrical storm came tip ac-
companied by a heavy torrential rain,
which continued at intervals for two
.hours .flooding the ground - with a
deluge of water, Shortly .beforesix
o'clock a huge black cloud, . from
which lightning was coming in vivid
flashes. WAS seen appraching- from
the west, At the sante time another
electrically charged cloud was com-
ing from the south, The two met in
Stanley township with a terrific crash
of thunder and from this developed
the _cyclonic storm that swept in, a
northeasterly direction into Tucker-
smith and McKillop, also touching in
the southeastern corner of 23ullett,
and carrying.destruction in a path ap-
proximately ' half a mile wide
The most serious damage was the
complete destruction of the barn of
Mr. Chas: Manning on the London
`Road, the walls collapsing when: the
roof was blown off, The entire crop
was in the 'building.
The silo of Mr. Newman Garrett,
"f ucdcersmith, was wrecked, North of
Seaforth the hydro poles leading to
Clinton and Goderichwere levelled,
from opposite Maitland Bank Ceme-
tery to the corner on the north gravel
road, but prompt work by a gang ,of
repairmen had the line in service
again by Monday night. Lights in
Seaforth were off only ,four - hours
Sunday night. About twenty tomb-
stones in the cemetery were blown
over, and the path of the storm was
clearly marked by the dozens of up-
rooted trees. -Barn roofs and wind-
mills suffered Most under the strain.
The newness of a roof did not save
it as barns with new lids last year
parted With them as readily as build-
ings which had not been repaired in
a quarter of a century. It is not ex-
pected that much loss will result from
crops. in mows and granaries being
'exposed. Dwelling houses did not
sulfer beyond a few shattered win-
dows and several chimneys scattered
over the surtoaoit; country. Y At
one farm on the Huron road a buggy
standing in the yard was demolished
lay falling bricks. Impleneents out-
doors. wereoverturned or hurled
some distance along the ground.
There is no report Of, any person be-
ing •seriously injured. and livestock
seems to have escaped loss.
First traces of the cyclone are on
the 2nd concession north of the Bay-
field road, about two miles and a half
wrest of Brucefield, and if the location
of the farms datnaged be.traeed of a
map it will be found the storm travel
led in practically a straight line
across Tuckersmith to the 'fourth
concession of McKillop, and there
disappears. In Stanley township
among those who had property seri-
ously damaged were '\\'alter Moffatt,
Thnntas Campbell, Jiio, Pepper. Gen,
and Thomas. Baird; in Tncicersmith,
Chas. Manning, Geo. and Walter Lay-
ton, Albert Pepper, Newman Garrett,
Vernon Terryberry, W. W. Broad-
foot; on the Huron road, Thos,
Adams, J, Carter, Thos. Fowler, Geo:
Dale, Wm. Jamieson, Jno, Bennett;

YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE.
On Tuesday evening the Young
People's League programme was in
the form of a special League Tally.
and was in charge of the Christian
Fellowship Dept. Miss Beatrice
Seip occupied the chair, A very in-
teresting topic on "Racial Goodwill"
was given by Miss Brawn, of the
S.C.I. staff. A piano selection by Miss

Lillian Wankel provided the :musical
portion of ,the programme.,
HARVEST THANKSGIVING.
The Harvest Thanks ivin services
Harvest t g g
in St. Thomas' church on Sunday last
attracted large congregations: The
church was beautifully decorated
with the fruits of the field, revealing
the bountiful band with which Provi-
dence had blessed not only the vicin-
ity of Seaforth, but Ctlntario. Fruits,
flowers; vegetables and the different
grains were artistically -blended giv-
ing the interior a very ,pleasing effect,
The 'Rev. 'W. D, Davis, of Thames -
ford, took the services and preached;
two impressive sermons during the
day The choir under the efficient
leadership of Mr. E. W. Bateman,
rendered special music at the morn-
ing service. The Te Deum 'Sas
Dykes famous setting and Barnaby's
"0 Lord, How Wonderful are Thy
Works" was given as.the anthem.
During the offertory, Miss Freeman,
Miss Pinkney and Mr. Bateman -sang
a, trio, "Come '[into Me" by Jerome,
which was 'much appreciated by: the
congregation,
Qwing;to'Hydro being off the spec-
ial music was

service, 'but will be given -on Sunday
next The offerings during the day
were very liberal.
The Oil for the Athlete. -In 'rub-
bing down, the athlete will ,find. Dr.
Thomas' Eclectric Oil an excellent
article. It renders the muscles and
sinews' pliable, takes the soreness out
of then and sltrengthens them for
Strains+ that may be ptit upon them.
It stands pre-emient for this purpose,
and athletes who for years, have been
using it can (testify to its value as a
lubricant.

O.P.U., said: "The Bootleggers are
beating us to it, and the greatest boot-
leggers of all are the brewers and dis-
tillers." For twelve months the Gov-
erninentsales were approximately 12
MILLION dollars; the bootleggers'
sales were even more: an appalling
total of almost $50 a year for every
man, woman and child in the Prov-
ince.
All this is under g system that
was pledged to do away with boot-
legging and turn all profits into the
