'Board of Trade Re -Organize --A well attended meeting of the busineaa men and others interested in town afltaira was held in the Council Cham- ber on Thrusday evening last the object being to re -organize the Board of Trade, one of the greatest assets any town possesses. The following officers were elected: President, M. Broderick; vice -President, Robert Bell; Treaeul'er, F. Sills; Secretary, F. G. Neelin. Police Court Case.—Charles Young, a man from Elmira, was up before Police Magistrate J. C. Greig, on Tuesday on two criminal charges. One wan for the theft of an auto from Carlin Bros:' Garage here about a month ago, and the other char was that of forging the name of Mr. Charles Dungey, of the Commercial Hotel, to a cheque for $75. The man was captured et Guelph and brought up here by Chief Constable White - sides, of Hensel'. The Magistrate committed Young for trial at the next court of general seasions, to be held in Goderich this month. Lawn Supper.—On the evening of the first day of the Huron County Council meeting in Goderich last week, the county councillors were enter- tained to a lawn supper by the Coun- ty Clerk and Mrs. Holman. About fifty enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Holman and a very enjoy- able and 'profitable evening was spent. Warden Trewartha presided at one end of the table and County Treasurer Lane at the other and divided the programjne between their. Besides the present council,en and ex -Coun- cillors iott, .Petty, Doig. Young and Laporte and In- spector Tom, also Mesdames Elliott, Trewartha and Connolly were present and added much to the pleasure of the occasion. Excellent addresses were given by the Chairman in pro- posing and by those responding to toasts to Canada, Education, good roads, ex -Wardens and Councillors, and the ladies by Messrs. Elliott, Gallow, Young, Tom, McQuaid, John- ston, Beavers, McNabb, Petty, Doig, Laporte, Tipling, Klopp and Spotten, the proceeding being enlivened by selections from the gnantaplhone. "For they are Jolly Good' Fellows" and "Auld Lang Syne" closed a very delightful evening's entertainment. • ' Scout Rally At Mitchell.—Mitchell was astir on Saturday. There 'were armies of invasion marching on the town from various directions. Sea - forth Scouts, to the number of forty, were there and upheld their usual reputation for good conduct. Strat- ford Scouts, to the number of owe hundred, were led by their very effici- ent Scoutmaster, Rev. Macdonell. After a parade, in which all took part, the' boys played games. Strat- ford won out in the baseball, but in a new game where all competed, Will Barber, of Seaforth, won the 'highest score, mach to the delight of the Sea - forth troop. Rev. Macdonell was presented with a thanks badge and made a very suitable address. He spoke at length on the principles of Scouting. He said he was glad to meet the boys from the other towns and invited them to come to Strat- ford on July 1st. He complimented the Seaforth troop on their excellent showing and said that they in Strat- ford were proud that a Seaforth boy, Stanley Nieholls, had won a life sav- ing Medal, the only one west of To- ronto. The Seaforth boys presented their Scoutmaster with a ring with the Scout emblem on it and an ad- dress. The boys report a banner day and a new and greater enthusiasm in their work. The Storm.—On Friday evening last, shortly after eight o'clock, Sea - forth was visited by one of the most severe electric storms experienced in years. The rain eame down ,in tor- rents, while the lightning flashes were so vivid and close together they made an almost continuous illumination. A choir concert programme in First Presbyterian Church had just com- menced when a bolt of lightning struck the sable leading into the 'mo- tor used for pumping the church organ. The current followed the wire into the church, blowing out the fuse plugs and lighting up the interior with a shower of sparks. For a few minutes there was •almost a panic, many believing the church had been struck. When quiet was restored, however, it was found no damage had been done, although several members of the choir were more or nese burned and shocked by the explosion. It was a very uncomfortable experience for the audience present, and one that will not soon be forgotten. On Saturday night and again on Sunday evening there was a reoccurrence of the storm, but neither time was it so severe, although there was a heavy rainfall. While the storms were very severe, no material damage has been reported in this district, and the .heavy rains which accompanied them have done a world of 'good. The Late William E. Broadfoot.— Seaforth loses a highly esteemed oitl- zen in the death of Mr. William E. Broadfoot, which took place at his date residence, on Thursday, June 8th. For some years past he had been in filling health. A slight paralytic stroke was followed i,y other nilments which only yielded temporarily to the brave struggle he put up against them. Through this period of in- firmity, which he bore with courage and cheerfulness, Mr. Broadfoot kept his interest ,•and sympathies and friendship very much alive. His en- forced retirement did not separate :him from the world of men and af- fairs, either loc6,l, political or relig- ious. It is 65 years since he was born in Tuekensntith, the son of Mr. Alexander Broadfoot, long eine de- ceased. In his early manhood he heard the call of the West, and for 22 years the was one of the farmers of ' aaltatehewan, His industry, thrift and i . genee lnellght' , such a reward oY prosperity that wen a comparatively young s►an the was In a position to retire. The best earthly happiness was }ret in store for M'r. Broadfoot, During his weatern rdnai- dence he was still a batchelor, but In 1907 he mlirried Miss Isabel Dickson, daughter of Mr. George Dickson, of McKillop, and established the theme in Seaforth, 'so well known to many for its welcome and hospitality, and which was especially dear to himself. In politics Mr. Broadfoot 'was a Lib- eral of the broad school. In religion he was a Presbyterian an served for several years on the Managing Board of tlhe First Presbyterian church, Sea - forth. He was a good mixer amongst men, enjoyed the bowling green when in condition, wore the white flower of a blameless life on •any occasions, and met his last hour on earth with the hope and confidence of one who was being called up higher. Besides bts devoted wife, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. S. Carnochan, of Seaforth, and Mrs. 8. Sinclair, Tuck- ersmith, also one brother, Mr. Robert Broadfoot, of Egmondville, to whom widespread and sincere sympathy is extended. The funeral on Saturday, conducted by Dr. Larkin, was very iargely attended, The many floral offerings told their own tender mes- sages. Wanted.—A few hands to help weed onions. Apply 40 S. F.

A. was played on the Recreation Grounds here on Wednesday evening between Mitchell and Seaforth and drew a good attendance of spectators. The Seaforth Highlanders Band was alto in attendance and gave a good pro- gramme between periods, which was thoroughly enjoyed and the club management desire to express their appreciation of the bands liberality in giving their services free of charge. The game itself was a good one, and except for the third period, in which Mitchell scored three goals, there was not much to choose between the two teams. Mitchell, perhaps, are a little better posted on the fine points of the game, and play their positions better, but the home boys are fast and aggressive, and considering the fact that probably not a member of the team had ever seen a game of lacrosse, as lacrosse was played here twenty years ago, or in fact a game of any kind, and that some of them could not oven catch a ball a few weeks ago, they gave a satisfactory account of themselves and demortstrat- cd that Seaforth is again to be a lacrosse town, and judging by the attedance at the game, they will not lack support. The final score was 7-5, in favor of Mitchell. Death,of Mrs. Colin Bethune.—Tile death occurred at her horse on Spar - ling Street, Seaforth, early Wednes- day morning of Jane McLeod Bethune, widow of the late Colin Bethune, for many years one of Seaforth's best known and highly respected citizens. About six weeks ago Mrs. Bethune suffered a stroke, and although she rallied from the first shock and at times ons able to ,it up, her death was not unexpected. Born in Ding- wall, Scotland, on October 17th, 1837, she carne to Canada in early life, with .her parents, the voyage taking twelve weeks, by sailing vessel. The family first settled in Toronto, where in 1858 she'was united in marriage to the lace Colin Bethune. Mr, and Mrs. Bethune first settled in Stratford. Forty-six years ago they came to Seaforth, where Mr. Bethune was Grand Trunk Agent until 1898, when he retired to private life. Mr§. Bethune was one of the oldest members of First Pres- byterian Church, and until declining years and failing health prevented. was a regular attendant at the church services. She was a woman of very quiet demeanor, many of whose best energies were devoted to her home and family, and tiros devotion brought her in turn a love and reverence that seemed to briightera4 and fl11 her whole life. Mr. Bethune passed away in 1900, but she is survived by a family of four sons, Neil, of Toledo; William end George, of Pott McNicoll; Alex- ander, of Kamloops, B.C., and two daughters, Mrs. Mutrie, of Vernon, B.C., and Miss Jessie, at home. The funeral, which 'will be private, will be held from her late home this, Friday, afternoon, interment being made in Maitlatelbank cemetery.

THE NEW REFINEMENT IN CORSET FITTING To be of the woman and not merely on her is the mark of the truly refined corset. The corset is valued most by the wearer when its presence is least apparent to the world. D. & A. Practical Front takes an all-important step ahead by enabling the living body of the wearer to mould itself into the personal effect and to idealize the best of a woman's natural lines. The exclusive inner elas- tic vest brings the front steels directly at the . centre of the body, and the outer flaps lace snugly over to conform minutely to the individ- ual human form. The result is practically a fresh refitting every time the corset is put on —a perpetual Custom - Corseted effect. 0 CORSETS .93414 $1.00 to $6.00 the pair. onacTiCrL Faw»T 36$4 J.
