Britain to Work Through League London—Great Britain will not play with Italy, except' through the League of Nations.

J NEWS Of the DISTRICT Severe Storm at Auburn A terrific wind and hail storm struck Auburn and district shortly af- ter four o'clock Thursday afternoon and lasted for fifteen minutes. The large front of Gordon Taylor's gen- eral store was blown fifteen feet into the centre of the street, and just miss- ed a car standing close by. The sec- tion blown down, measuring 18 by 24 feet, broke both telephone lines, in- terrupting service for several hours. It took 35 men to remove the section. of building from the street. Several trees in the district were bowled over in the gale. Barn and Contents Burned Fire totally destroyed a large barn and contents on the farm on the 8th concession of Bruce Township, owned by James Pace, when flames from a blazing lantern ignited the hay. The owner, his wife and son, Jimmy, had just finished. milking and the cows were being turned out of the stable when the blaze started. In an unsuc- cessful effort to extinguish the lantern Mr. Pace suffered painful burns on his hands and arms, and was forced to seek medical aid at once.

Mrs. Russell had a cold the past two or three weeks but was around as usual, arising each morn- ing until Sunday last, before 5 a.m. The cold later developed into bron- chitis, which caused her death. One of Mrs. Russell's life -lime habits was "early to bed and early to rise," with lots of bard work, was her recipe for longevity.

He received a fractured wrist and was badly shaken up. He was working at the time with George Acheson. Edward Rock, of the Ellice boundary also received a painful in- jury while threshing at William Kel- ly's.

Fire at Clinton Friday morning about 10 o'clock, a fire, the fifth in Clinton in recent weeks, badly damaged a frame cot- tage in the section of the town known as Little England. It was the resi- dence of W. Berry, employee of Gunn -Langlois, Ltd., and is owned by J. Pearson, of Goderich. It is thought that the fire was caused by some hot ashes, removed from a stove which was being 'repaired, being blown against a corner of the building. A strong west wind made the fire spread rapidly and the fire brigade dial good work in extinguishing the blaze before the house was entirely destroyed. The furniture was removed largely intact, although somewhat damaged by wat- er. The Ioss, estimated at about $1000 is partially covered by insurannce. Dungannon Fall Fair Postponed Second Day of Show Oct. 17th Dungannon's 77th fall fair was held under auspices which were not fav- orable. Heavy gales, accompanied in- termittently by rain, hail, and snow, were blowing, yet a good number garden vegetables worthy of special mention, was that of N. L. Carter, of Seaforth, which contained about 1204 pieces.' The flowers were not up to, the usual exhibit, owing, no doubt, to' recent heavy frosts, In the household science department, were to be seen. a splendid collection of homemade bread, biscuits, cakes, pies, tarts, and the quality would be difficult to beat. even at some of the larger fairs. Dairy - products were of good quality also.. In the fine arts and ladies' work some: fine work was on exhibit. Two classes of much interest were' the school children's writing, and reap -drawing, among the prize win- ners were many from Dungannon school. About 5 o'clock, during a. heavy wind, the long line of horse stalls collapsed, trapping under it a horse owned by Arthur Culbert. The horse was thrdwn to the ground, but,,. in a few minutes, the roof above it-. was seen to rise gradually and out: crawled the horse none the worse for -- its somewhat startling experience. A splendid program of races and'' other amusements was arranged for - today following the unfavorable con- ditions of Thursday, but at 10 o'clock this morning the directors met and in view of another unsatisfactory wea- ther outlook decided to defer the pro- gram until Oct. 17. A concert and dance scheduled for this evening were carried through according to schedule..
