•inet was effected at Queens Park last
week, with Hon. Leopold Macaulay,
provincial secretary, being promoted
to head the ministry of highways, and
with George H. Challies, M.L,A., Dun
das being elevated from private mem-
bership in the•Legislature to the port-
folio vacated by Mr. Macaulay. While

which he has administered for the past
eight years, Premier George S. Hen-
ry will retain and direct—as did hist
predecessor in office, Hon. G. How-
ard Ferguson -the department of ed-
ucation. •
Only one other change is involvedin
the long -expected rearrangement of
ministers and seri.irces, The depart -
merit of -game and fisheries, over
which Hon. Charles McCrea, minister
of mines, long has had control, will
at a comparatively early date, be tran-
sferred to the jurisdiotion of Mr.
Challies and his provincial secretary-
ship, in order to permit Mr, McCrea
to devote all his time to the develop-
ment of the mining industry.

STRATFORD PLANNING
A BIG HARNESS
HIORSE DAY
Those that spend the Wednesday
half .holiday'at Stratford on "Wednes-
day, Aug. 19th will witness a real
raceprogramme comprising three
pacing events. The First a 2.15 to
Free for All is a handicap event and
these horses are handicapped accord-
ing to speed and dispatched all at one
time. It is a splendid event and has
become very .popular• on, the Grand
Circuit andwas tried. in Ontario. • The
2.18 pace and 2.25 pace fill up the
harness races on the program. Some-
thing that is new and novel in these
parts is the Running Race where 12
Indian Ponies from Walpole Reserve
ridden bareback by the Indian boys
all bedecked in feathers and native
costume fight it out for the purse
money. These ponies run unshod
and run a half mile close to a minute.
The music will be supplied by the
Fergus Pipe. Band and other musical
acts will be introduced during the ev-
ents. The admission will be the low-
est ever charged namely 50c plus tax,
with grand stand accomodation at 25c
and 50el.
LIONS WILL HOLD
ANOTHER CLINIC
Last year, a clinic was held for
;crippled children at the hospital in
Goderich and Seaforth. The Clinic
was presided over by the chief sur-
geon of the Hospital for Sick Child-
ren; Toronto, and 35 children were
examined, a number of whom receiv-
ed subsequent treatment. The Lions
Clubs tools care of the expenses for
Hospital charges, surgical and medi-
cal fees, and the costs of the neces-
sary appliances amounting in the ag-
gregate to over $1200.
The result of the work done by the
Lions Clubs proved that their under-
taking was a very necessary one; sev-

crippled children and children suffer-
ing from pronounced defects of eye-

COUNTY OFFERS
SCHOLARSHIP
IN AGRICULTURE
The Huron County Council has
voted $50.00 towards a scholarship
for a county boy entering //the Ontario
Agricultural College. This amount
will be supplemented by a similar
sunt from the Massey Fund at the
College. That is to say, the success-
ful.candidate will receive $100.00 dur-
ing his -first year at the College. This
amount should represent a large part
of the first year's expenses of a boy
attending that institution.
The conditions are briefly as fol-
lows:— •
1. Applicants should be farmer's
sons residing in Huron County.
2. Applicants must be eighteen
years of age on or before September
18th, 1931, the opening day of Col-
lege.
3. Applicants may enter either the
two year Associate Course or the De-
gree Course.
4. Only one scholarship isavail-
able for the year ,1961-32.
5. The total arnpunt .of the schol-
arship is $100.00, `payable: in two in-
stallments, one at, the opening of the
Fall Term and the, : other at the op-
ening of the Winter Term.
6. Applications along with charac-
ter and : other., ;recommendations
should be mailed to The Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture, Clinton; not
later than Saturdaz: August 15th.
7. If a number of applications are
received it may be"lnecessary to have
the • applicants appear. .Before a com-
mittee to decide the winner.
It is not necessary here to dwell
upon the advantages of a Course in
Agriculture at such'. well-known In-
stitution. There should not be scar-
city of suitable applicants. There-
fore, it is hoped that any boy con-
templating entering the O.A.C. this
fall will make an effort to win a
worth while scholarship.
'TIS A QUARE
OULD WURRULD
To the Editor av all thim
Wingham Paypers.
Deer Sur:—
Manny a toime hev I said that it
is a quare wurruld we do be livin in,
an the oulder I git the quarer it
sames to be. Fer inshtance, we sent
tousands av young min oversays to ,
foight fer theer King an counthry,
at a dollar an tin cents a day, whoile
a lot av other fellahs shtayed at home
an got rich, A lot av the byes wus
kilt oversays, an nivir came back, so
we put monumints up to theer mim-
ory all over the counthry, whoile a
lot av thim, who tought they wus
lucky to get home again, are now out
av wurruk an shtarvin. 'Ye moight
say in the wurruds av the Good Hook
that the soldiers asked for bread an
tt+e gave thim a shtone.
'Tis the same avid iviryting, so it
is. Wan man plants ''an orchard av
apple trees, an other fellahs dhrink
alt the coider. Wan young fellah
coorts a girrul fer monts, arr mebby
fer years, shpindin all his loose
change takin her to pickter shows,
an band concerts, an thin another fel-
lah marries her, Arr mebby a man
cloies an laves a widdy an a lot av
foine childer, an some lucky ould bir-
xud, loike me brother Matt,, marries
the widdy, an owns a family widout
the ihpinse av doctors an nurses that
always cornea wid the gittin av child-
er shtarted in the wurruld.
Yis, an it makes a lot av us oulel

then than shtailin, so it isn't.
The misses kapes botherin the loife

Av coarse, 'tis mesilf that shud hev

Berry -Picking Time Again.
We're going picking berries,
You had better come along
We know a patch, a greatbig patch,
You, can get them for a song.
But you' must keep very quiet,
The reason, don't you see,
For if the owner finds it out,
He might make it hot for ane,
We'll just go through the oat field
And crawl under the fence,
We'll get ahead of the other chaps,
I'll bet you fifty cents.
You better take a lunch along,
And a good strong cup of tea,
Picking berries is no fun,
'Why, you're as tired as, can be.
Now Jack he makes a splendid guide,
If his orders. you obey,
He led us through the wilderness,
And kept us thereall. day.
And Marjory didn't hurt herself—
She's so afraid of tan,
But Katharine picked, my, can't she
pick,
She's as good as any man.
Our little friend down from the Soo,
,She never picked before,
But when she comes this way again,
She'll get a whole lot more.
Now mother used to tell as
That she took a big milk pail, '
And got it filled up to the brim,
And scarcely ever failed.
But would we eat those berries now,
No, neither you nor I,
Brown sugar made them nice and dark
Sometimes, we found a fly.
Now those were the happy days
When appetites were keen,
And as they wore no glasses then,
The bugs were never seen.
Again we often heard her tell
How wolves roved o'er the land,
They were glad to take the other
chap,
And keep him close at hand.
And how she.. used to. set
Her baby on a stump,
If some unwelcome guest came round
She sure would make him hump.

That prices are low and that means bargains. Wise
merchants with stocks on hand want to convert, them in-
to cash and are looking for buyers.
Newspaper advertising points the way to both —
when the buyer and seller have a message of common in-
terests. The great news of the day and the unprecedent-
ed bargains for the thrifty. It means great savings for
the buyer and a cleaning out of shelves for the seller. It
is time to buy and time to advertise bargains to the buyer.
