LAST OF WEDNESDAY .• HALF-HQLIDAYS Yesterday was the last weekly half - holiday observed by Wingham busi- ness -men this year, so until next spring rolls around all stores will be 'open every afternoon. IMPRESSIVE ANNIVER- SARY SERVICES Anniversary services of St. An drew's Presbyterian Church were of a marked 'successful nature on Sun- day despite most unfavorable wea ther conditions. Rev, T. Wasson, o with unusually large congregations the rear gallery being filled and quite a number in the side galleries, In the' morning he took his text from Jeremiah 18:4 -"And the vessel that he made of clay was marred by the hand of the potter, so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it." In elo- quent words and with pleasing ar- :gument, the speaker showed how while easy for the skilful artist might mar the design he had in view, or 'utterly destroy its usefulness by thou- ghtless carelessness, the potter did not throw away the moulded clay. In- stead he took the same raw material, re -fashioned 'it according to his• will, and produced a vessel as he wished it. The simple narrative is not un- like the lives a Divine Creator gives •Calvin ChurCh, Toronto, was greeted human minds to develop. It is ours to mould and spin according to the mind, desire and ability with which we are endowed, In the process of developing it 'according to the' Great Master.'s idea, it may be broken or damaged, by our spiritual weaknesses, but it remains to, be re -fashioned ac- cording to' the will of the moulder. In the evening he spoke on the love of Mary towards Christ, how she had annointed him with a costly box of spikenard. Her •art was an evi- dence of sympathetic love; pure and for the perfume was costly, yet more changeless. It meant, sacrifice, too, worthy of, this cause than to be sold and the proceeds, used for charitable purpo'ses.- If typified love for Christ, not albrte to Christ, for the true he- OfHim will follow ,Christ, practice his precepts and examples, and not look up to Him only• . Floral decorations around the pul- pit, and, special numbers by the choir, added greatly to the delight and pleasure' of the day, while" 'the ,finan- restilts were the largest on record of any anniversary occasion.

HURON PRESBYTERIAL, NORTH SECTION, MISSIONARY CONFERENCE With the Fordwich United Church well filled with women of the Huron Presbyterial (North 'Section) Miss- ionary Conference of the Woman's Missionary Auxiliaries, Mission Cir- cles, C.G.I.T, Groups and Mission Bands, convened on Tuesday, 09tob- er 23rd; with Mrs. Gibson White, of Wroxeter, presiding. The doxology was sung and invocation, offered. The hymn; "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," was sung, and the de- votional exercises were led by the ladies of the Gorrie Auxiliary. Mrs. Chandler gave a cordial wel- come which was ably responded to by Mrs. Chas. Gillepsie, Whitechurch. •The minutes and treasurer's reports were read and adopted. Of the fifteen Auxiliaries in this section, thirteen responded to the roll call with splendid reports. One Aux- iliary had reached its allocation, and each, and every Auxiliary was hope- ful and expressed earnest endeavor. The conference much appreciated' and will long remember the solo ren- dered so beautifully by Mrs. A. W. Barker, Brussels. There is regret there are not more C.G.I.T. Groups, more Mission Cir- cles and Bands, but the interest is keen and several groups will be or- ganized in the near future. The reports of the young women Were full of enthusiasm and anxious to aid in the work. Some Bands have Heralds reporting from each of the Mission fields. One Band has child- ren walk three miles to their meet- ing. In this Band they use Hurl- but's Story of the Bible and each chapter as read is illustrated on a moulding board. They do not have plastidine, but saw dust and tooth- picks. The children are always an- xious to be present. "Why we should have Baby Bands" was answered very ably by Mrs. Bol- lingbroke, Wroxeter. It is not in the experimental stage; for some seven - seven years ago it was tried and with- in the first two years there were 12,- 000 children members, and within the next, two years there were nearly 60,000 children enrolled. What the great need is is to have a Secretary in each Auxiliary who will see that the babies are registered, Miss Thornton, Bluevale, sang very beautifully, "There Were Ninety and Nine." The quetsion of Finance wasThand- led very instructively by Mrs. J. E. Hogg, Clinton. "It seems a lot for women to raise," speaking of the $1,000,000 asked from the Woman's Missionary Society, "but," she 'con- tinued, "the need of women is so great." We have a lot of women in our churches who are not members of our W.M.S. That is where our' weakness lie. How are we to get these women interested? We feel they do not know. The ladies of Fordwich Served a fine dinner, which was much enjoyed. The afternoon session opened at two o'clock with the ladies of Salem Auxiliary giving the Bible reading and having charge of the Devotional ex- ercises. Mrs. Gardiner, in her own in- estimable way, presented her report, and Mrs. McKenzie of Egmondville, gave an encouraging account of Sys- tematic Giving and Finance, ' while Miss Lawrence recognized keen in- terest of the women to advertise and boost the work of the' W. M. S. - 'The playlet, "New Eyes for Old," was acted by the ladies of the Wing - ham Auxiliary, It was a great ob- ject lesson. Mrs. Willis, the Missionary Month- ly Secretary, gave a wonderful, ad- dress and wished that more would read and digest the good reading of the Monthly. It will be long-, remembered the pic- ture of the great and dire need a- mong 'our women and children, of not only Ontario, 'but of our Canada, as told by Miss Effie Jamieson, of To-- ronto. • • Mrs. Gibson gave the closing words and with the singing of a hymn, Mrs. Scobie of Belgrave, closed the con- ference with prayer. TEN BOYS WIN FREE TRIP TO ROYAL WINTER FAIR Thirty-six Huron County Junior farmers competed in the second an- nual Junior Royal Judging Competi- tion held at Clinton on Friday, Oc- tober 26th. The ten, boys making the best scores in judging live afock and crop products will visit the Royal Winter Fair at the expense of the Ontario Government. The winners of this free trip with their addresses and scores are as fol- lows: David McIntosh, Seaforth, 3, '775; Fred McQuillin, Lucknow, 1, 7v5; John Fotheringham, Brucefield, 751; James McIntosh, Seaforth, 3, 750; Frank Reynolds, Seaforth, 738; Cecil Coultes,' Wingham, 5, 735; Nor- man McDowell, Belgrave, 1, 728; Gor- don Reynolds, Seaforth, '718; Claren- ce Down, Hensall, 1, 704; Ross Mc- Gregor, Seaforth, 1, 704'. The contest was held under the dir- ection of Agricultural Representative, G. R. Paterson and his assistant, G. A. McCague. The judges were Mes- srs. W. K, Riddell and A. E. Donald, Walkerton, T. S. Cooper, Markdale, and F. A. Wiggins, Clinton. LARGEST IN THE WORLD The Saskatchewan wheat pool have completed the construction of an ele- vator at Port Arthur, declared to be the largest in the world. It has a capacity of 7,200,000. bushels. That's a big figure, but how hig? Figure it out in terms of .farm ef- fort or capacity,' as we know farms around here. It would mean in the first place, figuring production at 30 bushels to the acre, the yield of 240,000 acres could be stored'in that elevatcir. Of course farms in the west arc larger than around this district, where we generally think hi terms of 100 acres. So leave it on that basis, and it would mean 2,400 farms of 100 ac- res each, growing nothing but wheat. The entire output could be stored in that new elevator. It is quite apparent that this Can- ada of ours is doing things on a scale that VI 1.pressively large.

Aveling of Kitchener, who is in charge of one of the Govern- ment Radio Interference cars, was in , town on Friday owing to the number of complaints which had been sent in regarding telegraph interference. Those who have radios on the main street found them almost useless dur- ing the day. The telegraph interefer- ence is so bad that it is, impossible to use the radio while the telegraph instruments are working. Mr. Ave - ling tried different appliances which had eliminated the• trouble in other 'places but failed to so in Wingham. • It look's as though the radio, fans will still have this trouble to contend with !until some other contrivance is work - led out. Mr. Aveling was able to in- struct the local dealers how to very largely eliminate an interference to , main street radio users, caused by ' electrical scissors in the barber shops, WHAT ABOUT YOUR FUR COAT?

OF WINGHAIVI CELEBRATES FIFTIETH YEAR Tuesday evening, October 9th, pro- ved a red-letter day in the history of Lebanon Chapter R. A. M. No. 84, G. R. C., when the members celebrat- ed the fiftieth anniversary of its insti- tution; and at the same time opened the Lodge Rooms which have under - Vine extensive repairs and decora- tions. The lodge rooms are a com- plete revelation to the old timers, and compare most favorably with those of any city chapter or lodge. The whole color scheme and decorating carried out in harmony with the tra- ditions of the Craft, and made a most pleasing appearance. On a blue back- ground on the ceiling is painted the zodiac, while in each corner of the ceiling is a piece of mural work, representing craftsman insignia. The walls of buff are artistically panelled With Corinthian Tusea:n Doric .and. Ionic Columns in blue, while a Key- stone supports the arch. These with newly -finished furniture and carpet give a most inviting and pleasing ap- pearance. The work was carried out in co-operation with the Blue Lodge. The fifty years of Royal Arch Mas- onry in Wingham marks steady pro- gress and prosperity and is an hon- ored monument to those Masons who on the, 9th of March, 1878, decided' to establish a Chapter in Wingham. The late Ex. Comp., Dr. J. E. Tam- blyn was the prime mover in this, and was assisted by Companions— Dixie Watson, Flynn, Johnston, T. Gregory and Kiernan. Ex Comp. J. E. Tamblyn was chosen for 1st Principal; Benj. Watson 2nd Prin- cipal; Henry Meyer 3rd Principal; Comp. Smyth Sr. S. J.; Comp. W. Lowe Jr. S. J., and Comp. Davis, Chap- lain. In the fifty years intervening since these devoted Companions suc- cessfully launched Lebanon Chapter, its history has been one of steady progress in every way, for to -day it is in comfortable financial condition and with a membership of 125. But. in that same period the grim reaper has taken his reward for none of the original founders remain, while many who took their obligation beneath the arch, have moved to almost every province of the -Dominion. Following is the list of First Prin- cipals, since the organization of the Chapter: J. E. Tamblyn, Benj. Wat- son, W. T. Bray, Wm, Elliott, Joseph Reading, Thomas Bell,, 5, A. Morton, E. L.

After the exemplification of the M. M. M. Degree, M. Ex. Comp. Edwin Smith, Grand Z. and Rt. Ex. Comp, Henry T. .Smith G. S.

BOARD OF COMMERCE CONVENTION AT • LONDON — • President J. H. Ramsbottom of Walkerton, has summoned a convert - don of the Associated Boards of Trade and Commerce in London, on Wednesday, November 7th. A main feature of the programme is consid- eration of importance of air -ports for municipalities in this Western section of Ontario. What it means to a mun- icipality now, and what it will mean when commercial flying becomes al- most as common as motor car traffic in these days. To one small town it has already meant the establishment of five factories, one of which has or- ders for 600 planes, an employment of 500 workers, with a weekly pay- roll of $15,000. This will be the important question at the convention, and while it may seem a little advanced, it cannot be denied that commercial flying isa thing of the near future. Of course other matters of local concern will come up for consideration. EUCHRE AND DANCE Wingham L. 0. L.
