WINGHAM'S 'CHAUTAUQUA
;Presented Wonderfully Inviting and
Appreciated Programmes
Wingham's Chautauqua, a week of
' excellede music, i gifted oratory, de-
:lightful mystery, and thorough enjoy-
. meat, is over for another Year, And
attractive as the pi•ograinmes pres•ent-
ed were, it is a matter'of sincere re-
gret that more local people did not
;patronize this h affair, not only for the
intellectual treat they missed, but be-
ecause of the financial burden imposed
on the guarantors, the affair not
,bringing sufficient revenue to clear
:all denatrls. The audiences included
many from outside towns and villages,
while the country people' were pres-
ent in large numbers. Unlike some
• other places on this circuit, Wing -
ham's concerts were not ivarre'd by
bad weather—in fact it was euros!!
.too good, in that many fermers who
.usually attended were too busy at
,home.
The Chautauqua opened on Tues-
rday.afternoon in the big tent on the
, town park with a very fine conoert by
the Arcadia Novelty Company; con-
sisting of four talented young ladies
who perform on piano, xylophone,
trombone, violin and accordeon. They
are also vocalists of no mean ability
and vary their program bysometimes
S
singing the chords of a popular num-
ber. The young lady who performs
on the, xylophone is also a veli
clev-
er toe<dancer and in her interpretive.
dance number in the afternoon was
charming in grace of !notion.
Mr. Imrie's lecture Tuesday even-
ing brings forcibly to one'sthought
the part that the English-speaking
races are taking in the world's -devel-
opment, as the self-governing races
of the world, and the problems which
confront the two great streams of
English-speaking peoples, the British
Commonwealth of Nations and the.
American Republic with her colonies.
Four centuries or more ago the
English-speaking races were confined
to the British Isles, really a very
small geographical area.. Then the
discovery 'of the American continent
in 1492 opened, the way for the really.
remarkable extension of territory
dominated by the English=speLng;
:races. Mr. Imrie sketched in bold
outline the outstanding events in the
progress of these races towards self-
-government. Magna Carta, the Peti-
tion of Rights, the Bill of Rights, firm-'
erican' Independence, and, in equally
bold outline showed their territorial
.expansion till now one-quarter of, the
earth's population and about the same
.proportion of the surface of the earth
is included in the. British ,Common-
wealth• of. Nations, and about a third
ofthe world's total population and
area is conipristed in thedomains of
the two great English - speaking
'streams. Outside the English-speak-
ing world, autocracy and illiteracy
,prevail very largely.
The problems of Empire which
.confront statesmen in the British Em-
pire and, in the great Republic were
touched upon. The Irish question,
now happily settled by the granting
of home rule, the problem of what
;part the overseas dominions are to
have in shaping the foreign policy of
the Empire, the „problems of dealing
wisely with the demands of the e3o
millions comprised in India's popula-
tion' for self-government, when so
large a proportion of the population
is still totally unfit for self-govern-
ment;Y
the problems of educatingthe
p
illiterate • thepeoblerri of giving
co-
herence
to an Empire so scattered
over the whole world; these were ail
dealt with in ,a way to impress one
with the stupendous problems which
British' statesmen have to deal with
.and with the work which a Divine
Providence evidently has for the Eng-
lish-speaking world in shaping the.
progress of the nations of the world.
The United States with .her greater
solidarity as far as territory .is .con-
cerned, could call a council of her
statesmen from all parts in a few
days, whereas it would take weeks to
assemble ssembl a conference from all parts
of the British Einpire. But the Unit-
ed States has her problems of assim-
ilation of a large foreign population,
and with the addition of colonies the
problems of education of the illit•er
ate,
Something of the density of popu-
lation in the Old World was shown in
the statement that India's population
consists of 33o,0oo,000 and China's of
400,000,000, mid the ,problems ixt world

TAX RATE LOWERED
A special meeting of the town coun-
cil was held on Wednesday morning
at To o'clock, Mayor Fells advised
the council that a rebate of $2,500
had been granted by the Hydro Com-
mission to the town; being a surplus
charged for street' lighting. The court,•
cil decided to apply this at once to
reduce the tax rate from 5o mills to
48 mills.. By=law No. ;979 was unan-
imously passed to amend the tax rate
to 48 mills. This will necessitate a
new calculation of the tax rollby the
clerk and may delay; the getting out
of tax notices, but the ; council felt
that ratepayers would overlook any:
delay in view of a lower rate.
SUCCESSFUL TOURNAMENT
The annual rink tournament of the.
Wingham' Lawn ',Bowling Club was

A. M. Bishop, W. A. Miller, D. B.
Porter (skip), won by one shot in a
hard battle with the rink composed
of B. Isard,,E. Barr, T. C. King, jack
Mason (skip). The former won four
beautiful tables and the latter, four

sociation event was ,captured by a lo-
cal rink: G. Boyd, W. J. Boyce, J. O.

second prize in this event, four brass
trays, was won by C. Armitage's

ebration was held at the Stratford
Normal park, Stratford,` on Monday,

(London Free Press)
The World's Poultry Congress, in
session lest week at Ottawa, honored
Canada byelecting as its president
Fred, C. Elford, director of the Poul-
try, Division, Department of Agricul-
ture. Western Ontario is particularly
interested in his election, as Mr. El-
ford, is an old Hurpn county boy,
having been born in the peaceful vil-
lage of. Holinesville, Perhaps no
county in Ontario has contributed soy
many of Iter sons to the public ser-
vice Huron co
un -
•of Canada. ice Ca a a. Anotre
v
ty boy, Robert S. Coates, is head of
the statistical department and chief
census taker.
Mr. Elford well deserves the high
honor which has been given Bim. He
has done much for the development
and .the improvement of the poultry
industry in Canada. When the last
International Congress was held in
Spain, Canada had such a fine exhibit,
Morel's
and
thanks. to Mi. enterprise,
he so impressed; the .delegation, that
Ottawa was selected for the next con-
vention. - The success of the gather -
tug just .closedhas been largely due
to his untiring efforts and his organ.

that the request be granted if Ilir.
Abell gets a favorable petition from
the property owners adjacent, and to

Mr. Gunn of the Gunn -Son -Ola
Company appeared before the Coun-
cil in
oun-cil.;in regard to a loan maturing this
fall and concerning which a previous
action had been taken some months
ago respecting:. a renewal. This will
require a special act of Legislature,
and he had arnple assuranceof suc-
cess on the proposition laid before
the provincial authorities. He asked
a renewal of the loan of $zo,000 for
another term of ten years without in-
terest. The business of late had
shown marked improvement and they
had sufficient orders on hand now to
keep the plant busy for the rest of
the year. This year's; business showed
an increase of 15 per cent., and 35
hands were employed on steady, reg-
ular hours. They felt the need of ad-
ditional machinery as the present
equipment was taxed to the limit, and
a renewal of the loan would permit
them to fill this want.
Considerable discussion resulted,
every councillor being anxious to
meet the request in some way and
thus retain the industry in the, town,
and provide it with an opportunity to
expand. A suggestion—a compromise
of .several ideas—that the loan be re-
newed for a ;period of ten years, and
$1i5oo for five years, was agreeable to
Mr. Gunn and the Executive commit-
tee were authorized to make the nec-
essary arrangements.
Mrs. Spotton, Mrs. Ross and Mrs.
Nash asked for the annual 'grant to •
the Horticultural Society . His Wor-

of the Council had heard the Society
possessed a rather tidy bank balance,
and while expressing the fullest sym-
pathy with the endeavors of the Hor-
ticultural Society and acknowledging
their wonderful achievements in
brightening 'the town, were unable, to.
agree to the request, as the rate had
been struck and there were no funds
available. The ladies were disappoint-
ed, and that evening were not inclined
to hand out bouquets or spread, 'flow-
ers in the paths of the town fathers:
A. Cosens, T, J. McLean and Mr.
Gurney, representing the Arena Ltd.,
asked that the rate on a proposed by-
law to loan the Arena Ltd. $5,000 for
ten years, without interest, be taken
between the xe.tlr of September and
the est': of October,:simply , because
the money was required to urcet
pressing needs , They were sure the
by-law would carry, and were willing
to pay the cost of the special polling
expenses, providing the project car -
rigid. The Council thought that as
the 'municipal elections were coming
off within .two months, it would en-
sure a greater chalice of the project
carrying, than if a hurried vote were
taken. The mayor stated that it was
not going to be a burden on any per-
son, as its the event of the by-law
carrying it would only mean 25 cents
