The day was ideal and a eery large crewd of over a thousand eitthered at the Agricultural pround e for the em vent, large nubere comm ing fro Auburn and a good number from Godes rich As tbe restet teethe day, $1,075 wag realized, and if this about :500 will lie clear. This is certaioly a splendid e ll s. teg and is far and away ahead of last yea e efforts. les, much praise cannot 1,0 given to the committees in charge of the day's program. The program opentei with a pig pro- ceseion to ths groui Is, headed by the, Henderson Kiltie Lade aryl Lasses. The prizes for the best decorated auto were awarded as follows: First, Rev. Stedman, car repreeenting young Canada, decorated with maple .leaves and red, white. and tette: bunting, and with young ladies dressed to represent the various provinces within the car; second, Mr. Myers of the Goderich Rural Telephone Co., with a car -representing the telephone; third, Fred Ross, a bridal company, w ith Mack and Will,. of McFarlane and Maize, as the bridal couple. The judges were Major -Jos. Beck, of Toronto, and Thos. Riddle, of Auburn. Two buethall games were pia yed, one between Belfast and Lechalsh and the othee between Belfast and -Goderich. Belfast won both games, 17 to 10 and 17 o 12. .. Adults' and children's races were keenly eontested, but the tug-of-war was called off. Supper was served in the agricultural buildings . by the Women s Institute and IC the, ' Sestet% " concert was given by the Hee. 'eson Kiltie Lade and Lassies, as- sisted by the IVIunroe children and Miss Alice Dunbar, all of Lohdon. The hall was peeked and 200 more tickets could have been old. Dr. -Case was chaieman. This vsas followed by a dance, for whith 1Vleisrs.debos. Elliott, Hugh McPhee and Jerry O'Connor provided the music. • The drawing for the pigs was made in the afternoon and the lucky ticket holders were JetiniMcKenzie, of Kintail, and W. Richardson, of Port Albert, 8110 was realized from the -saIe.of tickets. -Godes rich Stale . • • . . . , , HIGH SCHnOL NOES " In Loeser School examinations, Mildred , %Mei was successful,- five having been recemmended In Middle School Martorie Harrison and George Pocock were successful - being the onlyrenee recommended In Upper School, Lottie Johnston Pt. 1 (Hon.); Rose Weiler Pt. 1; Dorothy Douglas Pt. 11; Anna Nicholson Pt. 11; Nora Gracey Pt. 11; Harry Armstrong Pt 11; Charlie Johnston Pt. 11; }lardy Ged- deNell, (lion.) were successful - being 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- ter of Mr. David Duncan, of Glenannan, was united in marriage to Joseph Maine, late of the 48th Highlanders. Rev. Mr. Tate performed the ceremony. The young people% many friends will wish them a long and happy married life. EV1-3PYBODY'S COLUMN Arco menet ensgoune near Illtiova'e 00 ay 'Mond. Apply to T. R.

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.

On Monday, Mr. Wm. T:Brydges of 13elgrave, adver- tised in Toe Anise:Nos that -he had found the watch and would like to find the own- er. On Wednesday morning just 'before TUN AIWA Ncls: went to press Mr Gordon Buchanan Advertised that his sister had losi a watch and naturally the lost was immediately found. Velesad Jewels At the regular meeting of the I. O. 0, F. held on Thursday evening in the lodge room three Veteran Jewels were presented to mernbere who have been in good stand- ing in the.order for the past twenty-five years. The recipients were Bros. A Tipling, H. Hinscliffe and W. J. Haines: Two jewels will be sent to 13ro John A. Mowat, Acton, and Bro. Geo. Baker, Walkerville. The presentation was made by Bro. John F.

Seriously Burned At NAY Anna, the little 3 -year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dennis, Lower Wingham, was seriously burned last Thursday evening, August lst, while playing with matches which site had ob- 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 evening and play The Comedy of Errors under the Chautauqua tent.

Illegal To Make .Beer A recipe telling how to make beer was advertised in a paper •a few days ago, The Ontario License Board decided to obtain one of the -recipes and sent the nec- essary dollar to the advertiser. The re- cipe was received all right, and with it was the statement that the recipe 'was free. the dollar being charged for writing it veld advertising. Inspector Ayeaest pointed out a:few days ago, however, tbat it is illegal for anyone to make any intoxe leafing drink at home, the teenage, being 8300., 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 The following from the Dungannon cor- respondence in the Goderich Star sounds 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. . • .

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.

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.

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.

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.
