SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETINCI Rale Likely to be 36 Mille, --- Industry Discussed. A special meeting of the town council was held in the council chamber on Mon- day evening. A theatre license of $75.00 will be taken out for the town hall. This will permit any and all travelling troupes or picture shows to come to Wingham. As the clerk reported that he wished to have a little longer time in which to close and thoroughly look over the estimates the stricking of the rate was left over un- til the next meeting. He hinted that in all probabilityit will be 36 mills, Although the school rate was announced at an increase 1e mills over last year he found it would only be 1 mill. The general rate of the town is 1 mill less than than last year, but owingtpt the increased county rate it will1l total about 1 mill over last year. Considerable discussion took place over the proposed Fertilizer industry proposi- tion, Most of the councillors were of the opinion that it would be a good thing for the town, but Councillor Mitchell advised his colleagues to "go slow", he thought the council should have a clearer under- standing. A committee composed of the Mayor, the Reeve and Councillor Gnosis and Fells were appointed to further look into the matter and report at next meet- ing. We understand the committee purpose going to Ingersoll to inspect the factory in that town.

The regis- trar ese very pleased with the way the schoolteachers and others appointed are taking the work up and it is his firm opinion that their work in every detail will be successful. es While a vast majority of the people throughout the riding will attend for regi- stration in the proper spirit fully realizing the importance and needs of this regis- tration, yet the Registrar has met a few who openly state that they will not regis- ter. It is not a serious thing to register, it is what every patriotic Citizen should do. It is, however a serious thing 'not to register—it is shirking one's responsibility and the penalties are to severe. Anyone with• the opinion that registration is not essential and that failure to register, will not result seriously should consult his nearest Deputy Registrar and have him read off certain portions of the Registra- tion Act. Registration is law; it must be complied with. Registrants are requested to post them- selves beforehand regarding the questions that will be asked. Read the ads in the daily and weekly press and consult your nearest Deputy wha will give you infor- mation. Young men registered under the Mili- tary Service Act are advised to take their certificate to the booth so as their serial number can be correctly recorded. Parents will be asked the number- of children they Have under 16. They should make sure that these children will not be recorded twice -once by each par- ent, Every male registrant should have the question number 12 explained to him by one of the deputies and the female regis- trants should be specially informeit on question number 8. Regarding those who refuse to answer any question, clause 40 of the Act .con- tains the following, If any person upon his re;istration refuse to answer any question submitted by his registra-• lion card, he shall be guilty of al offence aid Heine to a fine not eweeding- ($100) Hundred dollars. ' Clause 41 says, If any person ttpan his registration wilfully give a false or .mis- leading answer to any question submitted by his registration card, he shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not ex- ceeding five hundred dollars and to im- prisonment for a term not exceeding six months. Go to your nearest schoolhouse or hall to register. If you cannot register that day register before the day. Take advan- tage of any facilities offered in regard to prior registration. When you get your certificate put it in an envelope so as to preserve it better. Those rick and invalided to their homes should submit their names to their near- est deputy who will arrange to have their cards and certificates filled out in their own homes, The Registration in Wingham will be under the general direction of Miss B. H. Reynolds who will have a capable staff under her. The Red Cross workers will have the booths tip town open on Thurs- day and Friday evenings from 7 to 10 for the convenience of those too busy on Saturday to register, Fall in line, everybody, in town and country and serve Canada by registering any time this week.

A rare treat is in store for those who attend. COMPETITIONS FOR BOYS -AND alRLs Through the action of the Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable T. A. Crerar, arrangements have again been -made to have the Canadian Bankers' Association co-operate with the Department of Agri- culture in providing a liberal sum of money to be offered in prizes for calves ano pigs exhibited by boys or girls under 17 years of age, at one fair in each district either a County, Township or School Fair. These competitions are known as, the "Canadian Bankers' Competition," and are linked up with the activities of the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. They represent an effort to increase interest in live stock, and constitute a part cif the active cam- paign for more and better stock inaugur- ated and carried on by that Department. The generous support accorded to the movement, by the Canadian tankers' Association, affords a practical demon- stration of the attitude of the banks to- wards the live stock industry, and the active participation of the Association in this campaign is bound to strengthen and create general interest in farm Iive stock: A Canadian Bankers' Competition will be held at the Wingham Fall Fair this year on October Sth and Oth, and boys and girls should lose no time in finding out all about them. The calves and pigs must be fed at least six weeks by the boys and girls who exhibit theta, so that it is very important to act promptly in secur- ing a copy of the rules and other informa- tion. Full information regarding the Com- petition can be obtained from the Manager of any branch bank in the locality where a fair is held. eld .44444444+ PATRIOTIC NOTES • 'I'he patriotic tea and eewing circle will be held on Wednesday, June wbth, at the bowie of tvlrs.

OUR CANAD1I N BOYS CAPT. (Rev,) Rome Peensoer, M. P. P. The above is a picture of Capt. (Rev ) Robert Pearson, M. P. P., a nephew of Mr. A. H. Musgrove and wen known in this locality. His old home is near Ethel, where his mother still resides. Capt. Pearson occupied the pulpit of the Wing - ham Methodist church a few Sundays ago, and was heard with a keen interest by a large congregation. Speaking of the religion of the boys at the front Capt. Pearson says that many books -had been written and ad- dresses given that were along the wrong track. A soldier is neither an angel nor a devil when he gets into uniform, but just a man. There may be certain changes in him when he comes back, but his ideals win be much the same as when he went away. A soldier's life in Canada, in Eng- land and in France is at times very mon- otonous and when they get leave some times there is a tendency to "celebrate " Certain fellows have been tempted and gone down, but the same happens in civilian life, While the speaker could not say that he had seen any great flocking to 'prayer meetings or communion service before big engagements, there was true religion in hearts of soldiers, but many of them if they flocked to meetings thought that they might be accused of being afraid, and that is the last thing a soldier wants. When the soldiers return they will be: - 1. Very democratic. 2. Strong behind aggressive Govern- ment. 3. Independent regarding politics. 4. Opposed to denominational ideas.

Admission 25c and 35c, The Story:- Sir :aeries Worthington promised his friend, Donovan McCoy, when the latterCh lay dying, that his son should marry Mc- Coy's daughter Rose when he became of age. Before the opera opens, Rose inher- its a fortune from an uncle in America since she is afew hours older than her cousin Betty with whom She lives in Limerick Town under Judge Hooley's guardenship. Both girls were born on the 24th of May of the same year. Capt. Farriery Worth- ington comes of age and proceeds to Lim- erick to woo the unknown Rose, well aware that his fancily needs her money. Rose suspects his motives and arranges to exchange places with Betty. The Cap- tain, suspecting some such ruse will be played, decides to devote lcioiself to the apparently penniless cousin, Complica- tions occur, and he discovers he is ardent- ly in love with the real Betty who is mas- querading as Rose. Sir Charles and his wife arrive and are indignant at the turn of affair;,. The timely arrival of an eccentric old American, who proves in a most unexpec- ted tod and ingeniousd way that Betty is the real hciress, brines about a Happy ending for all concerned, Rose finding consolation in the devotion of Justin D'. lynrt..
