PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION FOR BALANCE OF X-RAY FUND In another column of this paper appears the report of the Chamber of Commerce on the recent Street Car- nival, showing net proceeds of rough- ly .Two Hundred Dollars raised in aid of the X -Ray Fund and the Arena.' At a general meeting of the organiza- tion on Friday evening last this report was adopted and Mr. Garlick and his committee was tendered a heary vote of thanks for their splendid work. It was also decided to raise the balance owing on the X -Ray machine by pub- lic subscription. - Three Hundred Dollars to Raise When the money raised by the Street Carnival for the X -Ray Fund is transferred there will still be about Three Hundred Dollars owing: The machine was installed one year ago at a cost in round figures of Nine- teen Hundred Dollars. The Women's Hospital Auxiliary paid $400:00 and the remaining $1200.00 has been paid by, the Chamber of Commerce by money, raised in various community enterprises with the aid of the Wo- men's Institute and other organiza- tions, and a few donations. It is now thought desirable to appeal to the public for sufficient funds to pay the small balance and to this end sub- scription lists are being opened in both local banks on July 16th. Previous donations above mention- ed are as follows: Mrs. Fothergill $100.00; Dr. Redmond $25,00; Mrs. A. G. Elliott, Lucknow, $10.00; Miss Farquharson $1.00; Eastern Star Chapter $10.00; A. R. Tasker, Blyth, $1.00; Canadian Club $13.42. The public are asked to be as gen- erous as possible so that the Cham- ber of Commerce may be enabled to pay off the balance of their obligation within the 12 months from the time of the purchase of the machine. Sub- scriptions will close July 31st. Lend encouragement to .the cause by being among the first to subscribe.

KINLOSS FARMER KILLED IN RUN -AWAY Died Shortly After Reaching Hospital Here. The funeral of Wesley Hudson was held Friday afternoon, from his late residence on. the 2nd of Kinloss. Rev, C. H. McDonald conducted the serv- ices. Mr. Hudson who was in his 73rd year, was fatally injured, when an ac- cident occurred late Wednesday after- noon when driving a team of horses raking hay on his own fartn. He was found immediately after the accident by his daughter Greta, who noticed the horses running away. When found Mr .Hudson's face. was badly crushed and he was unconscious. His daughter immediately summoned medical as- sistance from Lucknow, and on the arrival of the doctor it was found he was suffering from a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. The in- jured man was taken to Wingham hospital but his injuries were of such a serious nature that they proved fat- al. Less .than half an hour after his. arrival in the hospital he passed away never having regained consciousness. On making investigations at the scene of the accident it was evident that the tongue of the wagon had come apart from the wagon resulting in Mr. Hud- son being pulled off the wagon and falling behind the horses, Mr. Hudson receiving kicks from one or possibly both the horses. Mr. Hudson had been a resident of this vicinity for about twenty years, corning at that time accompanied by his wife and family, from the 10th concession of Kincardine Township. He was a very industrious farmer,. fond of his home and enjoyed hav- ing his friends visit him. Relatives and friends from Detroit, Brussels and Kincardine were present at the fun- eral to pay their last respects. The pall -bearers were four neigh- bors: Joshua Dawson, W. J. McDon- ald, Jim McIntosh and Jack Purvis, and two former neighbors of Kincar- dine Tewnship, Mr. Scott and Mr. White. Interment took place in Kin- loss cemetery.

FRIDAY'S RAIN WAS MOST WELCOME The rain storm of Friday was inost welcome in ,this district, The crops which were again starting to suffer for want of moisture are now in much better condition,. and prospects for a good crop are very bright indeed, The moisture penetrated the ground to a good depth. In Wingham there was one and a half inches of rain fell and this is a much rain fall as we have had all told since spring. The high wind that accompanied the storm in many places caused con- siderable damage; but reports from this vicinty fail to disclose any very serious damage. A tree was blown done on the cor- ner of John and Minnie strees and nearly hit the house on the corner in the course of•its fall. The Hydro was off only a few minutes except on the east end of Victoria street where a transformer was put out of commiss- ion for a short time: Nothingof a serious value was however caused by the storm. GODERICH YOUTH ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Bullet Removed From Below Heart Therewas a near fatality at the waterfront Goderich, Saturday after- noon when Ernest McLeod, 15 -year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Mc- Leod, was accidently shot, police say, by his chum, Murray Daer, same age, who had a 22 rifle in his hand. The muzzle of the gun was scarcely a foot from the. McLeod boy when it exploded in some mysterious manner. The bullet pierced the right shoulder, travelling a circuitous route, and lodge just below the heart, from where it was removed that night by surgeons. Unless complications set in the injur- ed boy will recover, it is stated at Alexandra Hospital. With their rifle the two lads went to a somewhat isolated spot at the waterfront for target practice, the high, sloping bank forming a back- ground. They had been shooting at a tin can, and the McLeod boy was stooped down on his haunches count- ing the holes in the can, with Daer boy stooping over him, gun in hand, watching the count, when, police say, the rifle suddenly discharged. When help came the injured boy was crawl- ing up the embankment on his hands and knees, with the assistance of his chum, An autombile was secured and doctors summoned from tb.e hospital. • See Lyceum Theatre Special Advt. on back page. PRESENTATION TO MISS M. WILLIAMSON Returned Missionary Honored by St. Andrew's Women's Missionary Society The W.M.S. of St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Church met in the Church on Tuesday, July 10th. There was a large attendance of members and Horne Helpers to welcome Miss May Williamson, returned missionary from India. The first part of the program was the regular July one, taken by the Home Helpers. Scripture reading was given by Miss A. McBurney and the opening prayer, by Mrs. Wararn. Miss Farquharson gave a reading and Miss McLaughlin a paper on William Car- ey," Mrs. J. Porter gave the dedica- tion prayer:. There were special musical num- bers, a solo by Miss Grace Tucker, who is home for the 'holidays, and a duet by Misses Agnes and Alice, Wil- liamson, sisters of the guest of honor, is A group of little ,g>> 1,.C he Froin the Mis- sion , sion Banrl sang a chorus.

Mr. Gardiner, of Londesboro,, Gave Impressive Address In speaking to the W,C,T,U, con- vention in Blytli on Thursday, July 5th, Rev. Mr. Gardiner of Londesborc stated that in half the homes of our province the people willing tax them- selves $121.00 annually for liquor. While the majority of woman are on the side of temperance there are so many who have joined forces with the wets, in some cases, because their hus- bands vote wet. So that the exercise of franchise •by women has not done away with the , liquor traffic as had been hoped. Liquor is consumed by women now. Those who are learn- ing to drink are not old :enough to have seen the dreadful side of the drink traffic. Many men are crying today "Give us something with a kick in it" and they might add "so that we can go home and kick our wives and. children," A slogan of the wets is "If a: thing is repeated often enough people will believe it" so they publish many falsehoods by press and radio, until the public think they are true. One such false statement is that Goc- ernment Control does awaywith the bootlegger, whereas the contrary is true. Before the O.T.A. came into force there were more bootleggers, than while it was in force and since the O.T.A. has been abolished and Government sale has taken its place there are more bootleggers than ever. In the U.S.A. since the repeal of the 18th Amendment bootleggers are sell- ing twice as much as previously. An- other false argument is that greater liquor . consumption will bring back prosperity, whereas no country ever yet drank itself rich. The 18th Amend- ment in the States was blamed for the depression but strange to say in Ontario at the same time, under Gov- ernment overnrnent sale there was also depres- sion. A great campaign has been launched to teach young people to drink. We must start in the primary and kindergarten grades if we would educate our boys and girls against the use of intoxicants which destroy the brain cells, weaken the heart and cause general debility. "Write it on the churchyard gate, Write it on the schoolboy's slate, 'Where there's drink there's danger.' The use of narcotics is on the in- crease in Huron County, according to the report of the Anti -Narcotic Com- mittee. Juveniles are using cigarettes in greater numbers. Older boys buy them for younger ones. Girls and wo- men are using more. Since nicotine affects the cells of the brain what will be the effect on the coming genera- tion? The importance of the "child in the midst" was emphasized throughout the day. The only way at the present time of fighting the liquor traffic is to educate the children against it. The ratio of the school teacher's influence compared with the influence of an or- ganization such as the W.C.T.TJ. was likened to that of a 1000 candle pow- er light compared with the light of one candle. All Sunday schools should compete for the county shield which is given to the school having the largest per- centage of its scholars writing on the temperance study course. 1£ Sunday. school teachers and superintendents would give the children enthusiastic leadership in it, most of the children in our Sunday Schools would write, Miss Murray, the County President said "The forces which are against us are tremendous but not nearly so tre- mendous as those'. that are for us if we would only use therm. Lord Astor .. said that the time would come when people would despise the use of liquor just as we today despise the slave traffic. Miss Murray said that de- pends on the Church of Jesus Christ. Are we true to Hiin?. The officers of last year were re- elected. 1 Special feature, Janet ,Gaynor and Lionel 33arrymore in "Carolina" at the I.yceitin Theatre, BAND CONCERT TO -.N , IGHT WEDNES..
