The second half of the program consisted of the presentation of a two act play, Mr. Bob," and a dance feature, "The Sailor's Hornpipe." The play was one in which the audience became thoroughly enthused. No detail of stage or action was lacking; no part overlooked or overdone; players and directors (Mrs. M, Kirk- wood and Miss R. Fennell) all de- serve credit for its grand success. Every year .part of the commence- ment exercises has been a play. and these plays have all been far above. amateurish, but in the opinion of many, this; year's presentation was possibly just a little better than any before. Seven pupils took part, name- ly, Misses Eleanor Evans, Anna Ed- munds, Helen Britton, Margaret Cardno, and Messrs. Habkirk, Mac- Lean and Siilery.. The Sailor's Hornpipe was danced by Virginia Anderson and Barbara Aberhart as if the "old nick" him- self were behind them.

Anent the address delivered before the Seaforth Farmers' Chili recently by Mr. Larsen, of Burford, a native of Denmark, in which he urged a co- operative packing plain, owned and operated by'the farriers of Huron and. Perth, describing at the same time a $250,000 ,plant now under construc- tion at Barrie, the following clipping from the Clinton New Era, of Sept- ember, 1904, gives aninsight into an attempt to start a packing business in Huron county nearly thirty years ago: In February, 1901, the farmers of Colborne township started an *agita- tion to erect a . co-operative pork packing factory in Huron county, ow- ing to the success with which the Palmerston and I3arriston- factories were then meeting. The town coun- cils of Goderich, Blyth and Clinton were approached and asked to send delegates to Smith's Hill, where a large ;meeting of farmers and repre- sentatives from Goderich, Clinton and Blyth assembled; it was finally decid- ed to. hold a meeting at Clinton in April; at this meeting the Blyth rep- resentatives dropped out. It was de- cided to go ahead and form a joint stock company with a capital stock of $150,000 divided into shares of $20 each. The town council, desirous of securing further industries for the town, guaranteed to print the prospec- tus.and guarantee the expenses of se- curing $20.000 worth of stock, :prov- ided the said expense did not exceed $200. A committee from town •was appointed to get up the prospectus and these were sent broadcast- over the county. Canvassers were then put on the road. Considerable -suc- cess attended their early efforts. Ata meeting in November, 1901, it was found that one canvasser -alone had secured .$3,000 in small subscrip- tions of $20 each; this was thought to be eneouraging. At this meeting the promoter of the Petrone Packing Go, offered to come in and float the HT & CJS. and to bring in English capi- tal, and other propositions were made by different parties. These were tak- en into consideration and the proposi- tion of W. R. Belden, of Palmerston, C. W. L. Card Part Dec._8' Dance ri. 5 ST. PATICK'S' HALL, DUBLIN Orchestra General Admission 50c.
