rich As tbe restet teethe day, $1,075

nolalefurei thie -class
While the number of successful candi-
dates is small, it must be noted that a
large numbere'passed the farm exemption
test and were away about the twentieth
of May. It is the desire of the teachers
to maintain a high standing in the school
so that While a number could not pass the
farm exemption, they•succeeded in passing
the Departmental examination and
strange it may seem, a number who
passed the farm exemption test and might
have received their certificates but who
preferred to remain at school rather than
work on the farm, did not pass the Dep-
artmental examinations. In the first case
it is well known that there was a great re-
doubling of effort on the part of the can-
didates and perhaps teachers too while in
the second case there might have been
just a little tendency for the candidates to
be lax on account of a general feeling of
security.
Wed On Sunday Morning
• A quiet wedding ceremony was perform-
eessees the mouse, Bluevale, on Sunday
mere; at 10 o'clock when Alice, daugh-

of the list and that those who ,are asked
to assist in harvesting will make an effort
to:comply with tee • request. A little co- -
operate.= between urban and. rural dwel-
lers will aid a greet deal at this 'time.
The list for Wingham is in the hands of -
A. G. Smith, who will do all in his power
to assist you.

AN OPPOR1LINIIY To Do
SOMEIHING WORTH WHILE
Do you know a mother whose son has
bought with his life on the battle fields of
Europe the liberty you enjoy? If so, it
is your privilege to name that mother for
decoration into the International Order of
Allied Mothers in Sacrifice. The Asso-
ciated Kbn. has made. her nomination by.
her friends, an incident to her decoration
and it is a privilege accorded to all who
know of such a one, to pass that know-
ledge on to the Associated Kin Head-
quarters, London. They do the rest as a
patriotic privilege on behalf of the people
of Canada.
This great movement originatect with
the Associated Kin and to them is due
the honor of having promulgated their
proposition throughout the entente until
mothers in practically all its major na-
tions are wearing this insignia of what is
admittedly at .4:ince the most exclusive
and the most democratic order of woman-
hood and sacrificial motherhood that is,
or will be.
During the first week of September,
what will undoubtedly be the greatest
gathering of sacrificial motherhood ever
assembled under one roof will take place
in Bond Street Contetgation sl Church,
Toronto. This time is chosen that
mothers from a distance who are visiting
the Canadian. National Exhibition may
receive the insignia of the International
Order of Allied Mothers in Sacrifice,
This will be the seeond decoration meet- •
ing held in Toronto this year.
. Following it at Kinsman Hall, London,
a similar meeting, the fifth in London,
• will take place. Each of thee meetings
will be addressed by a speaker chosen by .
our overseas heroes and a program in
every way appropriate to the occasion is
assured to those who attend.
We Unsettle friends of mothers within
the scope of our circulation will see to it
• that this distinction be conferred on every
mother whose soldier son has made the
supreme sacrifice. To such of these
mothers as. are, shut in through physical
• disability, the Associated Kin ask local
cooperation and volunte r special atone
thin to their decoration in their homes,.
Where the Associated Kin is organized,
Particulate should be handed to the local
tee -weary to send forwatd. In other

tained while her mother was in the garden,
sOn returning to the house Mrs. Dennis,
who was .alone at the time, heard her
scream and ran at once to her assistance
ant extinguished the flames. Dr. Red-
mond was summoned at onee and she was
taken to Wmitham lesepital, where she is
doing as well ars can be expected, having
been burned abeut the arms, chest and
neck. We wish to correct the. tuistake
whicb W4,3 made in tiro Lendon papere
about there hats* beea several fires
there before. Ties is the lint and only
fire they bave had duciag the 13 yeaes 1(1
Meth they have resided in Wingham. •
The Summer Dominion Chautauqua
opened on Saturday morning with the
junior Chautauqua's organization. The
junior Chautauqua will be a very inter-
esting featere of the entertainment. • The
class le abut 100 strong and they will
pot on the program on Friday afternoon.
Mayor 13lietley opened the Chautauqua
on Saturday afternoon. Ile pointed out
that Wingham was indebted to the men
who had gone behind this to make it a
success and to the Chautauqua peopledor
the exceilent bill they were presenting
because it gave the necessary- recreation
of an educational tharaeter at this time
when the anxieties of the war were con-
stantly on our minds.
'file Welsh Glee Quartet and Dr. Dav-
idson ot Montreal, gave the. first concert
in the afternoon. The numbers of the
quartet were wall seeicted and equally
well rendered and their responses to the
hearty applause were decidedly refreshing.
Dr. Davidsdn's afternoon lecture was on
"Lights and Shaclover of Ireland," and
being an Irishman himself, he portrayed
in a vivid manner the character of the
Irish people which made them beloved the
world over. In the evening he gave a
lecture on "The Camouflage of Kaiserism"
which was one of the best • studies of the
psychological effort of the Germans in the
war heard in Wingham. The lec ture dealt
largely with the propaganda of the Gee -
mans of which the Kaiser himself was the
very centre and master -mind, The Glee
Quartet rendered a number of selections
. also at the evening go:leen.
The tent was filled on Sunday evening
when the Union Service was held in com-
memoration of the 4th anniversary of the
. war. Dr. Davidson gave a splendid dies.
course. The Quartet rendered several
sacred songs.
The Monday conc,ert was given by Mr.
DeMille, who gave a number of baritone
solos in a rich yoke of exceptional range;
• Mist W,illiantioe • who acted as accomp-
anist and gave knumber of instrumental
solos in the hest possible • style; and Miss
• Alexander, whose efforts on .the violin
were most heartiitereceived, •
Those who counted on hearing Father
McCorry were disappointed owing his
suffering loss of speech through biting his
tongae in an auto accident, however his
place was ably taken by Dr. Frank Bohn,
Dr, Bohn is an American of German
paegatage, and was sent to Europe by -
American Government as Professor of
History. He was in Germany at the be-
gioreng of the war and was intimately
associated with the Kaiser and many
leading German professors. His address
'was of a most interesting character deal-
ing'with the War as it is it Europe and the
patriotism of the German people for their
Kaiser. He prophesies that in a couple of
months' time, -Germany will offer peace
terms along the entire Western front
which will be tempting to many of us but
he warns that a compromise peace with
Germany such as that, will mean that in
twenty years time our boys will have this
same war to fight over again arid against
a Germany even better prepared than for
this one.
'
Winghatnites are turning out in large
numbers to hear these excellent entertain-
ments and all are thoroughly enjoying
them They are getting better as the
days pass and the standard already set is
sufficiently high to maintain large houses
• and continued interest.
Each day at the Chautauqua seems to
get better. If the general trend continues
to improve it is impossible di' estimate
what the last day has in store for us,
The musical program by the- Royal
Dragoons and the wonderful and master-
fully delivered lecture by Col. Geo. W.
Bain was of an extraordinary meritorious
type. The Royal Dragoons, a musical
organization that positively know not an
idle moment, one that dispells the blues
and put a smile where only an expression
of gloom existed before. A fitting climax
to the . days' rniethfui program was Col,
Bains' talk to the young and olct folks, he
gave the young the experience of an old
man and the advice of a man that now
knows better, he gave eo the old another
lease on life and sent them home full of
hope and cheer.
Wednesday the Tschaikowski Quartet
give a grand concert in the -afternoon and
evening and in the afternoon an added
feature. .is offered ite-a lectere on com-
munity affairs by William G. LaVelle of
Cleveland, Ohio. During the afternoon
Mr. LaVelle will organize a Boys' Parlia-
ment and every boy between the ages of
10 and 16 years will be admitted free.
Following the concert in the evening a
song recital will be given by Miss Bertha
Farner, the wonderful soprano. She is
the talk of the Chautauqua towns because
ofsher remarkable voice and her wonder-
ful patriotic: songs.
Thursday afternoon the Canada Food
13oard will present Mrs. J. W. Johnston
of Toronto to address the people of Wing -
hate on "The Why of Food Control."
Mrs; Johnston's husband and two sons
are overseas doing service for their
country, their youngest son ig a volunteer
soldier of the soil Tee afternoon seseion
will be absolutely free to the public:
The famous and original I3e12 -Greet
Playere will be in Wingham Thursday

under the Chautauqua tent. A very
large crowd is expected for that number
on the Chautauqua. program and 2000
chairs will be plume. It 19 urged that

Would Not Oppose,' Case
Mr. Wm. Baillie, ex -Reeve 'of West
Wawanosh and a leading Liberal of North
Huron, said at the recent Liberal Conven-
tion held in Wingham that he was an, ad-
mirer of Mr. Proudfoot and a friend and
neighbor of -Dr. Case whom he would not.
oppose in any event. Another Liberal
told the editor of Tint lenteeett that
while he was a friend of Mr, King. yet , he
believed there was no need to cause the
country the expense of an election at the
present time because even though the
Liberals won, it would make no change at
Toronto and he would therefore vote for
Dr. Case. .
One .0ay lluough
A girl of about seventeen years of age,
named Mortise from Lticknow, was en-
gaged by Mr. Madden of the British Ex-
chengeHotel, in Godericheend joined the
'Hotel staff on Monday. She disappeared
the same day, and Mr. Madden becoming
anxious had Inquieies made through the
towa and neighbouring country. On
Tuesday afternoon it was learned that
the girl had returned to Lucknow but in-
stead of going to her own home she had
. gone to the -home of her sister-in-law.
• She had evidently taken a fit of home-
sickness, but her action in leaving with-
out telling ariy person of her intention
was the -tsetse of considerable anxiety for
a while, ,
Victory Is Assured

like a fight J. R. McNab, Will Stewart,
W. H. Carr and others from this district
attended the',North Huron Liberal Con-
vention and nomination meeting at Wing-
ham on Thursday of last week. The
meeting was strongly in favour of putting
• a candtdatedn the field to oppose Dr.
Case in a by election to be held probably
this fall, Mr King of Bluevale, being the
choice of the convention, also several were
nominated. It was thought a few weeks
ago that the Liberals would not bring out
.a mate against Dr. -Case, and that during
the war a costly by-election would be
averted. However, in Dr. Case we have
a man we will put on the parapet against
all comers, Tom Alton says we are ready
to go "over the top" and light, on to vic-
tory.

CANADIANS SEE SCOTLAND
'MC
Going Via The Red Triangle Route
"I guess; you have'nt got any house -
wrecking companies in Scotland."
The speaker was an Unsentimental
eoldier. He had been gazing at the ven-
erable pile of Edinburgh Castle from the
windowed the Y, M. C. A. on Princess
Street where he was spending it brief fur-
lough.
Ile was one of a party of 60 Canadians
who had journeyed north to have it
glimpse of the country of their forebears,
• Captain Vineland, Canaciain Y, M. C. A.
officer in Edinburgh, had rnet them at
the station and distributed them amongst
the Overseas Club the Y. M. C. A, and
creditable lodgings.
A feature of the work for the large num-
ber of Canadians touring Scotland on
leave is the Y. M. C. A. Hospitality Leag-
ue; an organization of hostesses through-
out the country who open their doors to
the men from overseas. Food difficulties
and the servant problem have combined
to curtail somewhat the generosity of the
League hitherto, but these problems hav-
ing abated to certain extent, an everen-
creaeing number of soldiers are being en-
tertained. Men eirect from the front
prize above everything else this oppor-
tunity of tasting one more the joys of the
domestic circle of sharing the solace of the
pipe of peace and settling down in a comfy
seat by the window or fireside.
Nearly (30 per cent of the men going on
leave visit Scotland, and Captain Fine -
land has linked up with all the local Y,
M. C. A's fr0111 Gretna Green to John 0'
Croats so that any soldier who desires, it
may enjoy a furlough of organized- sight-
seeing, social pleasures and entertain-
ments.
It is found that a large majority of
Canadians desire an insight into agricul-
tural metbods, and these are sent to the
best farms in the Lothians, Fifeshiee and
Aberdeenshire. The aim throughout of
Captain Fingland and his staff of assist-
ants and guides is to ensure that the in-
dividual need of each man shag be met as
far as possible, and that all may enjoy a
clean, wholesome, helpful time during the
brief leave period.

And Still They Joke
That's a rather good one on the Ford.
A young woman in Wingham was telling
a friend about her new automobile. 'Let's
see" she remarked "I can't recall the
name of it but it starts with 'T'. Oh it:
must be a Ford, for ail others start with
gasoline" was the reply, • • .
Fatality lo Morris
A fatal accident happened to John Mc-
Elroy, a farmer living in the township of
Morris, about eight miles from here, on
Monday morning. He was atone at the
time, but as far as can be teamed he was
leading ateam of horses attached to a
binder out of his barn, when the horses
took fright, became unmanageable and
knocked him down, and dragged the body
under the binder across a field about forty
rods. When he was found life was ex-
tinct, death being supposed to have been
instantaneous, as his neck was broken and
his body badly mangled.
Advertising Never Paid Better
An advertising man of excellent obeer-
vative ability calls attention to his ex-
perience that'll: is 50 per cent easier now
to interest people by advertising than
ever before. There is intense interest in
the papers now. Never before have the
newspapers been read so eagerly and at-
tentively EIS now -an interest that owing
to the extraordinary conditions through
which we pass, !laterally also extends to
the advertising pages, :But these pages are
not only read but read with confidence for
the public has legated in the last few
years that publishers have ceased to keep
the advertising pages open to all who pay
the price, but give careful attention to
keeping out the undesirable and fraud -

hon't do Too Par, Boys
A few of the youths of Wingham appear
to be working for a vacation in Kingston,
On Saturday night, boys climbed up to
the electric switch behind the Chautauqua •
tent and turned off the lights and thus :
ended the program. This was a more '
dangerous job than at first glance appears
for in the crowded tent a panic might
have been the outcome, the lads who
played the trick might easily have receiv-
ed a shock that would have stunned them
and the committee in charge of Chautau-
qua might have lost heavy by some super-
stitioue people believing that the compahy

lights off purposely. A siesta time ago
