NEW RULE
Goderich fair introduced a new
rule this year that exhibitors in home
manufacturers must reside within a
radius of forty miles of Goderich,
applies to exhibitors in ladies’ work
sewing, etc., canned fruits and bak
ing. The idea is to eliminate the
the “professional” exhibitors in these
classes who exhibit on a wholesale
scale and kill off the more local
competition.

ham High School were initiated re
cently. The girls attended school

eral days after the boys had ta wear

books to school in baskets.

WOLF KILLED IN PINERY
When the Boy Scouts were in
camp in the Pinery south of Grano
Bend during the suinmey they had
stories of a wolf prowling close to
their camp and on one of the writ
er’s visits to the camp they took us
out to show us the tracks. We saw
tracks in the sand but we did not
tell the boys that we were a little
skeptical as to them being made by
a wolf. However the boys were
quite positive and we did not wish
to detract from the thrill they hat,
received from such a visit. Ana
now a report comes from the Forest
Free Press that John Murray, oi
Sarpia, while moto'ring through the1*
Pinery, run down and killed a wolf
weighing more than fifty pounds.
The wolf was killed not far from the
Scout Camp. This is the second
wolf to be killed in recent months
One was killed along the same road

A Tired, Worn Out Woman
Can’t Make a Happy Home
There is no happiness in the home when the mother
is sick and worried by the'never ending household
duties. She gets run down and becomes nervous and
irritable, has shortness of breath, faint and dizzy,
can’t sleep, and gets up in the morning feeling as tired
as she went to bed, and is downhearted and discour
aged.
Milbum’s Heart and Nerve Pills’-will soon convince
Women it is not necessary to suffer* as they build up
the nervous system, strengthen the heart, and bring
back the former health and vigor.

By a Ballot of Wheels
the Motorists of
17 yptfdLL/^zX-JLl/ X XL/Xv
agree with the rest of Canada in preferring
Goodyear Tires
More motorists in this district ride on
Goodyear Tires than on any other kind.
This was proved the other day by a “bal
lot of wheels”—an accurate tire-by-tire
count on cars parked, at our recent Fair.
The figures are given below.
All over the country tire surveys offer
convincing demonstrations of Canada’s
overwhelming preference for Goodyear
Tires. The “ballot of wheels” at the
Canadian National Exhibition showed
that 40.56% were Goodyears. At twelve
Canadian fall fairs an average of 40.84%
were Goodyears. At seven leading Cana
dian race tracks an average of 40.87%
were Goodyears. At the Canadian Open
Golf Tournament 43.71 % were Goodyears.
Wherever large numbers of cars of all
makes are parked it can be proved that
“more people ride on Goodyear Tires
than on any other kind.” This is the
strongest statement that can be made
about Goodyear Tires, because the public
speaks—not Goodyear.
