SCHOOL FAIRS Those who are of the opinion that School Fairs should be abolished should have been in attendance at the two School Fairs held in this district 'during the past week, Belgrave and Fordwich. We cannot imagine anyone, after studying this question, corning to any conclusion but that these fairs serve a most useful purpose. They also bring people together in a friendly spirit, which in itself, is good for any community. The long list of classes as these fairs give almost every pupil a chance to enter, and to see the exhibits is 'certainly an education. The concert in the evening with its public speaking, music, etc., is one of the bright spots in these great events. Boys and girls who take part are en- couraged' to improve themselves in. various forms of accomplishment and who knows but from this modest be- ginning some of these boys or girls may reach the top. All certainly get achance tosee how things are done. School Fairs should be encouraged and not wrecked. Those who are res- ponsible for the success of these fairs deserve great, credit. May they keep up the good work. * * * * WAR CLOUDS, GATHERING It is felt by many that regardless of what the League of Nations does, Italy will be at the throats of the Ethiopians before long. It has been stated that Oct. 10 will be about the date on which hostilities will com- mence. It is also reported that some regiments of Ethiopian soldiers are anxious for the fray to commence.. The spirit of war in these two countries has been aroused and when this becomes .a fact, war is inevitable. Ethiopians will fight like demons to retain their homeland and the Italians with their blood boiling from propa- ganda, will valiantly give their lives. They are being taught the spirit of conquest. It is a sordid picture and if sanc- tions are put into force by Britain and ,other members of the League of Na- tions it may be that these countries will be drawn into the conflict with Italy. ,4 The average man is a peace -loving -person, but as proven in the Great War men of all countries are not cow- ards when they are faced with war realities. To die on the battlefield has :always been a hero's death and right- lly so, but in these days of so-called lhigher civilization it should not be /necessary for men to die that way. It was hoped that the last war •avouldmake the pen mightier than the sword, but apparently in this this res- pect it has failed. Many countries are still making -a true effort to bring about peace between Italy and Eth- iopia. They are sincere in their ef- forts. They realize that if they are not successful in these efforts the re- sults of this conflict will be most horrible and may lead to another world war, If this should happen the founda- tions of our present hopes for peace among the nations will be smashed as never before and the settlement of .dfficulties between nations by peace- ful means will be a thing of the past rfor many more years to come. =i:* * „jandrie Coogan and Toby Wing are to be married.

We ,are pleased that it is such a picture as these famous kids should never be far from a place where their bottles may be reftieled. l: a; ;k* Two winsome young ladies .from the United States at Niagara Falls, Ont., wanted to see Canada by bus in a couple of hours. TMs misconcep- tion of Canada's size is not only held by' Americans, We can remember an English lady who wondered if we had met her boy who lived in Vancouver. When told the distance he was from Ontario she was greatly surprised. * * * Mr. Aberhart, we understand, was busy while East seeking advice.

The number 13 is suppos- ed to be unlucky and•Friday, the 13th, especially unlucky. Most people pass- ed this day without paying any par- ticular attention to this peculiar sup- erstition and that is how it should be. *.y: * x Huey P. Long was the founder of the "Share the Wealth" policy. It is said that this idea will now pass out of the picture as he is dead. If the idea is sound it will likely continue. Good seed grows good. grain. If the idea was bad as many think it will eventually just pass out of the pol- itical picture. =i: Every day more candidates are add- ed to the already long list of those who aspire to be members of House of Commons. The number at present is over the 600 mark and it is expect- ed to reach 900. It does not take a mathematical expert to figure out that many will be disappointed on Oct. 14th as there are just 245 seats. w NEWS of the DISTRICT h Grass Grew Through Potato Every gardener knows that 'twitch grass grows, here, there and every- where but would hardly believe that it would thrust its energetic roots right through a potato.

No Blayne Attacked to Lucknow Lady Driver No blame was attached to any one in the death of Mrs. William Reid af• Toronto, by a Coroner's jury which sat at Flcsherton,. Mrs. Reid was ser- iously injured in a motor accident near Rockmills on July 23, when a car driven by her daughter, Mrs, A. E. MclKini of Lucknow, got out of con- trol in loose gravel' She died in Or- angeville Hospital the same day. The inquest has been delayed awaiting the recovery of Mrs. Mcls.im, who receiv- ed a broken leg and other injuries when the car left the road. Combustion Causes Barn Fire Spontaneous combustion is blamed for a fire 'Thursday night which razed a fine barn on the farm of Jack Scott, concession 4, Huron Township, and caused loss estimated at more than $5,000. The blaze broke out in the absence of Mr: Scott and his brother, who had gone to Seaforth to get re- pairs for a separator. The fire spread rapidly, destroying the barn, contents and livestock. Some farm implements and a number of cattle and swine were burned, Goderich Couple 50 Years Wed Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Johnston, both' of whom are in the best of health, at the respective ages of 72 and 70 years, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding at their cosy home on Britannia Road, Goder- ich. They received many friends, who called during the day to wish them continued health and happiness. Their sons, Chester and Oliver, both of God- erich, with their families, joined in the family reunion. There are six grandchildren. Boy Injured by Tractor Walter Wright, 12 -year-old son of Andrew Wright of Swindon Park, near Dundalk, had two bones broken in his foot when a tractor ran over it. One of the large cleats in the trac- tor wheel tore the young lad's boot completely off his foot. Hand Caught in Wringer Miss Marion Beadle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Beadle, of Au- burn, met with a serious accident at the home of Bernard Hall, of Blyth. She was using a washing machine when he hand got caught in the wringer and was badly crushed to the wrist. It was thought at first there were some bones broken but later it was found not to be so. Believed Hog Record What seems to be a record for hogs was a lot of 16 handled by Dales Bro- thers, Cargill, and were raised by Herb Neilly, of the 18th Concession of Greenock. These were all from one sow, farrowed on March 1. Their total weight was 3,460 pounds and the price paid was $3.75 per hundred= weight. There were 12 selects in the bunch which brought an extra dollar per head. The, total paid the farmer amounted to $314.75, which is not so bad for piggies six months old. Mildmay Gets Hydro Rebate Local electric light and power us- ers were highly gratified to receive their August bills marked "paid", and a small credit left to apply on their september accounts. This was wade possible by the successful year's op- eration of the local system. -Mildmay Gazette. Lake Front Being Surveyed' Mr. E.

After a few years in Brant County, Mrs. Lynn, daughter of John Quinn and Jane McGuire, • natives 'of Ireland, moved with 'her parents to Brantford, thence to a farm in Morris Township. While there she married Pat Lynn seventy-six years ago, and farmed with hire distil 1881, when they mov- ed to Goderich. Mr, Lynn died in 1902. Many friends called on Mrs. Lynn today. A birthday dinner was enjoyed by Mrs. Lynn and her fam- ily. The table was adorned by two large birthday cakes, fittingly decor- ated. Atteknpted jail Break at Walkerton An attempted gaol break, which came within an ace of being success- ful, was staged at the Bruce County bastile last week by one of the •pris- oners, Richard Johnstone of Linear dine, who had been sentenced a few hours previously to serve two years less one day ' the :Reformatory. Gaoler Bell was engaged in the usual task of preparing the prisoners' cells for the night. On one corridor were three prisoners, Johnstone, P•egelo and O'Brien, and when at the door, of the corridor, Governor Bell was struck a terrific blow from behind by a cudgel in the hands .of the prisoner John- stone. Fortunately the blow, did not render the gaoler unconscious and he was able to get into the hall and slam the door which locked automatically. Johnstone was given 3 years for this act. ---Walkerton .Herald -Times, Unusual Phenomenon Monday evening about 11.30 one of the most unusual things was witness- ed by a. few citizens of Teeswater, in the form of a rainbow of the moon. Just what this means, if anything, we cannot say or pretend to know; but credit it as one of Nature's miracu- lous sights that is very seldom seen. About the above time Monday night there was a light fall of rain but the moon was very bright; just the same conditions as when a rainbow is form- ed in daylight. Burt observers say the 'collorecl arc seemed even more beau- tiful at night than any other time.- Teeswater Netivs, Barn Burned, Two Men Injured A disastrous fire occurred when the barn of Lloyd Young, on the 8th con- cession of Colborne Township, near Loyal, was destroyed completely. Stook threshing was underway when fire broke out in the hay in the barn. All the stock was got out except one pig and some hens. The cause is un- known. The threshing machine was near the barn but was moved to a safe place. William Clarke was burned about the neck and George McBride on the hand, requiring medical atten- tion. a IC IN a to a 1 FRAISES BRITISH .

Morley Smith, President of Domin- ion Stores Limited, who has just re- turned from a motor trip of several weeks throughout England and Scot- land, observing chain store operations Another Freak of Nature In the process of garnering his corn for the winter, Mr. John Craig of town, this week sighted a strange- looking product of the corn stalk in the form of a large ear, which was found to contain six fully developed cobs shooting from the parent stem. This is a diem' instance where Mo- ther Nature surpasses Mrs. Dionne's count by one point. What a boon many such would be to the grocer in having his corn already done up in packages of a half dozen each. - Walkerton Herald -Times.
