Waistell The public meeting held in the town hall on Thursday evening in loving re- membrance of those brave men,who fell in France while fighting for the liberty of their homes and loved ones and also in commemoration of the signing of the Armistice on the 11th day of November in the year 1918, was fairly well attended by the citizens. A massed choir under the leadership of Mr. F. J. Hill led in the singing. while Mrs. G. C, Hanna presided at the piano. Rev. Dr. Perrie was •the chairman and in' a few brief but approp- riate remarks opened the meeting. Rev. H. W. Snell, B. A. was the speak- er of the evening and very fittingly referr- ed to great heroism displayed by the Can- adian boys in the great war. He quoted the following splendid words of the late Abraham Lincoln. "Fourscore and seven years ago," spoke the President, "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedi- cated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting -place for those who here gave their iives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should de this." Mr. Hanmore sang an appropriate solo. Rev, Mr. Cragg and Rev. Mr. Harris offered prayers, The meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem.

If the driver had stopped long enough to find outhow much the boy had been injured he would at least have driven the little lad to his home. ,rr at A number of neighbors and frie nd gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Ritchie, at the village of Green- ock, on the eve of their departure for their new home at Wingham and presented them with two handsome upholstered chairs.

The Dominion rights of the Canadian Areo Cushion Tire Co. will be purctased at $160,000, payable in stock.

New machinery will be installed in the spring. Methodist Church Rev, Chas. E. Cragg, Il, D., Pastor SETA., ,NOV.EM2LLR 20 tr a. in.---lttorning Worship, Rev. A. J. Johnston, M. A., B.

Eagle Caughtin Ashfield One night recently a large eagle was captured on the farm of Mr. John Little, who resides in Ashfield township, near Lanes. It isa fine large specimen, measur- ing seven feet from tip to tip of the wings. The body is of a brownish grey and the head a lighter grey. It is very vicious and put up a plucky fight before being over- come. Some few weeks ago a large eagle made an attack on a man on board a ship coming through Lake Superior And was later caught by one of the ship hands This boat has since landed in Goderich and it is believed that the bird escaped from this boat just as they were leaving Goderich.

ELEMENTARY AGRICULTURE Great Interest Taken By Farmers In Short Course Hon. Manning Doherty, minister Of Agriculture, was unable to attend the meeting held in Wingham on Tuesday evening in the interests of the three month's course in Agriculture to be con- ducted here commencing on November 28th. Mr. L. Stevenson, one of the clerks of the department, made a very able substitute. Many applications are coming to the office of the departj(ient of agriculture at Clinton, from those wishing to take the course in elementary agriculture and domestic science. The young men are greatly in the majority of applicants up to the present time. The course for young men and women of the district will open on Noverftber 28 and will continue until March 3rd. 1922. Classes will be held fi re days a week with the addition of extra lectures at night. Miss Nettie Christie favored the aud- ience with an instrumental and solos were given by Mrs. Reg S. Williams, Miss Bessie Abell and Miss Galbraith. Rev. Mr. Snell, B. A. and Mr. Strachan, customs house officer gave readings. Short ad- dresses were delivered by Mr. S, B. Stothers, Agricultural Representative for Huron, the Representative from Bruce, and Mr. Johnston of Fordwich. Deputy Reeve Spotton of Howick. presented the cup to the winner of the Howick Plowing Match on account of which appeared in our paper last week. An old gentleman leaving the hall was heard to remark that he could not believe THE ADVANCE any more because they reported that Drury was coming to the Fall Fair and now that Doherty was the speaker for ;.his meeting. The joke is certainly on us when we -receive the blame for the Provincial ministers not keeping their appointments. AN INTERESTING WORK Annue1 Meeting of Children's Aid So- ciety Brings Out Much Interesting Detail of the Work The annual meeting of the Huron County Children's Aid and Humane So- ciety was held at the Children's Home on Tuesday afternoon. There was a fair attendance and those who were there had an interesting time. Messrs. Willis and Gear, of Wingham, motored down and were in attendanoe. In his address Mr. Mitchell, the pre- sident said. "In gathering together for the 10th. annual meeting of the Huron Couuty Children's Aid and Humane Society - but, I think, the 26th annual meeting since the beginning of the work in this county -I feel warranted in congratulat- ing the members of the Society on the continued success which marks our efforts; but at the same time we cannot but be struck with the thought that it seems to be a work which apparently knows no ebb, but is rather increasing in the cal s which arise for the rescue of helpless chi!. dren from cruelly neglectful and even criminal surroundings, that they may have that fair opportunity for a right start in life which is the birthright of every child born in this land which we proudly call ''our fair Dominion." The reports which will be read to you will show the truth of this statment. As our social and economic conditions at present exist. there seems to be little hope that we shall soon reach a time when this rescue work can be relaxed, but rather is it true that each' year's review shows an increasing neces- sity for vigorous and organized effort if we are to save young lives from the down• ward way and start them on the road to honorable and useful citizenship. If all the work done by our Society could be tabulated and epitomized in its results. it would make a record for which we might well be devoutly thankful that we have had a share in it. I need not attempt to go into any de- tails -you will find sbnte of these in the reports of the County Agent and the Treasurer, and if these do not inspire you to take a mere personal and active in. terest in the work during the Succeeding years, I will be disappointed. I am con- tinually trying to interest people who do not attend our regular meetings with the duty on their part, and the pleasure they have,if theyattend y will at end these meet- ings and also visit our Childreti','s Home, and thus become familiar with the work dehng done and enjoy the affection shown bythe little folks who respond r spend so loving- i t towhat is beingdont for them.May i 1 not urge a larger attendance at our So- cietjes regular meetings by the people of Wingham and vicinity.
