Mr. Deaohman is widely known
as an outstanding and well-inform-

C'HILDREN'S SHOW
IS CANCELLED
Despite a greatly lowered attend-
ance, the Seaforth Fall Fair, held on
Thursday and Friday, was in every
respect a splendid show.
Perfect weather favored the direc-
tors and had it not been for the prev-
alence of infantile 'paralysis, which
necessitated the cancelling of the
chilaren's departments; .this year's
show would easily have established
records.
Judges remarked on the splendid
quality and well-filled classes in near-
ly every department. The Friday af-
ternoon program provided a splendid
attraction with two well-filled rare
events.

Mr. George Jackson, the guest
speaker, gave a very interesting and
informative talk on his, recent trip to
Russia. -"You cannot- find out very
much in Russia, except what Russia
wishes you to lenow," said Mr. Jack-
son. "The guides which accompany
you through, the various cities, have

BRUCEFLELD WILL
SEND CAR TO WEST
Saskatchewan Drought Ar-
ea Will Benefit From
Local Aid.
Arrangements have been completed
by the residents of Brucefield to for-
ward' a car of foodstuffs to stricken
families in the Western drought area.
The need is obvious and good old
Ontario families, who are tributary
to Brucefieldstation, are rallying to
this very needy and humanitarian
cause. The C.N.R. is gratuitously co-
operating a.nci will place a care some-
time during October at Brucefield sta-
tion and will deliyer It in Saskatche-
wan free of cost, provided the people
adjacent to this station will fill it
with fruits and vegetables.
Families, from three or four miles
east - of Brucefield, and right west to
the lake, will be given an opportun-
ity to assist, and while they may be
notified from their church pulpits of
the placing of this. ear, the enterprise
is entirely a community affair, non-
sectarian and non-partisan.

not as large as in some former years
which also has been the experience
of other fairs. The entries were not
as numerous as usual, especially in
the indcor departments, and the horse
classes were not filled. The animals,
poultry and indoor entries were of
high quality and Wails made up for the
lack of quantlity. In the evening a
concert was held in the Town Hall.
The program was given by the Four

enjoyed by a full hall. After the con-

HENSALL HALL IS
FILLED FOR -MEETING
• .
Always a oorutentious subject at any
joint political meeting in Huron, the
terape,rance issue once more on Wed-
nesday afternoon at the meeting
which followed! the official n.oanina-
tions in Hessall Town Hall, led to
such an uproar that the meeting got
out of hand and adjourned in disor-
der.
Three names were received in nom-
ination, James Ballantyne (Liberal
sitting member), Dr. R. Hobbs Tay-
lor, (Conservative), and Dr. Alexan-
der Moir, (Independent-Temperanice).
Mr. Ballantyne was speaking Mare -
ply and had only proceeded a -few of
his allotted. 10 minutes, when he said:
"I can take a .drink or leave it alone.
I Spent three years in County Coun-
cil and three years In th-e Legisla-
ture, and no one can say they ever
saw me under the influence of liquor."
He then made a reference which was
interpreted' by some as reflecting on
Dr. Taylor's personal temperance re-
cord.
A roar of protest w.ent up and the,
din and noise was continued for five
minutes. Efforts of the chairman, H.
G. Meir, of Seaforth, to restore order
proved futile. Mr. Ballantyne never
finished his speech.
Above the hub -hub, Dr. Taylor
shouted that his record of sobriety
would favorably corapaeerwith that ef
Mr. Ballahtyne's. The Statement was
greeted by cheers and jeers, the
chairman calling for "God Save the
King" while the disorder was at its
height.
The hall was crowed throughout the
afternoon and at times the :audience
became noisy and bothered . the
speakers,. At the commencement of
the Weeting„ Conservatives, Tiro
outnumbered Liberals in the Hall,
voted. H. G. Meir, Seaforth lawyer
and a' Conservative, into the chair ov-
er William Bailey, Goderich Liberal.
Candidates Speak
Eachof the three candidates, was
allotted 45 minutes with Mr. Ballan-
tyne allowed an extra 10 minutes in
reply. The fLiberal member stressed
the benefits and savings that had ac-
crued, to Huron taxpayers • as a re-
sult of- the Hepburn regime. Moore
Miller, Owen Sound lawyer, spoke on
behalf of Mr. Ballantyne and of the
record of, the Hepbuto administration,
stressing particularly . the benefits
which .had been given the farmers in
The popular film star was always

pentane, so, it happened that wthen a

"What do you mean by 'we'?" ask-
ed the gallant.

opened a vigorous address, frequently.
interrupted with cheers: and jeers.
'The temperance people indorsed
me because they knew I am in. a posi-
tion to give them the best deal of
the three candidates," he said, as he
flounished a telegram from Hon. Earl
Rowe, his leader, backing .him in .is
stand to respect the Canada Temper-
ance Act, and in his protest against
Premier Hepburn, thrusting beer par-
lors on the people of Huron against
their expressed wish at the polls."
Applause greeted this statement but
boos were mingled, with cheers.
