Ideal weather prevailed and large congregations were present both morning and evening. The special speaker for the day was Rev. E, J.

The subject, at the morning service was “Old Wells Dug Ont.” The speaker referred to the wells digged by Abraham; filled in by tho Phillistines dug by Isaac. The sermon appeal for preserving th© while things of life, “The “the Sabbath”, “the family and “Christian principles.” evening the subject was ligion Can Do for Us.” ihg 'for the day was led chorus assisted by Mrs. Ferguson, of Glencoe. gUsou delighted the audience with a solo in the mothing also in the ev­ ening together with a duet with Mr. Walter Cutbush.

Grant on Sunday. sang The With The The first performance of “Corporal Hagen” was staged the Opera House on Wednesday ening. with a capacity house, play was put on under the auspices of the Women’s Institute and was a production of the Universal Produc­ tion Company,of Fairfield, Iowa, U. S. A., and was ably directed by Miss Ilo Smith. The play went back to 'the days of the Great War, depict­ ing the new recruits of the so-called rookies from the time they entered the army and the way of winning their promotion. The story centred around the life of one “Corporal Eagen” who wins his promotion from the rookie squad to being made a corporal by capturing a spy in th© camp who has been poisonring the food, and preventing th© sailing of much needed troops for France. Those who took part in the cast were Red Eagen (Irish recruit) Herman Gower; Izzy Golstein (Red’s Jewish buddy) Bill Davis; Michael Eagen (Red’s father) Sylvester Tay­ lor; Ab'bie Golstein (Izzy’s father) Francis Abbott; Sally O’Neil, Amel­ ia Acheson; Willing War Worker, Marion Woods, Worker, Mr. B. W. F. Beavers; Cap­ tain, B. M. Francis; Top Sergeant, Dr. Atkinson; Guard and Spy, Andy Easton; Newsboy, Gail Browning; Nurses, Thelma Taylor and Bernice Gollings. There were a number of bright choruses by the sailors and soldiers and the teen age girls who wer© all in costume. Miss Pearl Wood sang “The Rose of No Man’s Land.” All Df these numbers were much appre­ ciated between acts. The minstrel chorus with Mr. H. O. Southcott as interlocator and S. Elliot, A. Traquair, Archie Davis and Grafton Cochrane as endmen made a very humorous picture. The Patriotic pageant “My Dream of th© Big Parade” featur­ ing one hundred children with flags and Francis Abbott as dramatic reader made a very ‘charming pa­ triotic introduction to the play. The entire performance consisted of one hundred, and seventy-five people and required about two hours to stage. On Thursday night Mr. B< W. F. Beavers in behalf of the Women’s Institute intx'oduced the director Miss Ilo Smith and In a very short appropriate address thanked her and the entire caste, pianist and soloist for tho able manner ift which the entir© program was carried out. He then presented Miss Smith with a Suitable gift. Hollowing the Thurs­ day evening program the ladies of the Women’s institute, served ltmch followed • by a social hour. The play netted the Women's In­ stitute $93.03.1 , i . $1000 Prize List Offered By The Exeter Times-Advocate SUGGESTED PRIZE LIST OF CHESTERFIELD SUITE, FUR COAT, HANDSOME RADIO, ELECTRIC WASHER AND VACUUM CLEANER i AMONG GRAND PRIZES% AT BEAST TEN OTHER PRIZES ALSO GIVEN AWAY The Exeter Times-Advocate announce, with pleasure the in.’- auguration of a great prize distribution to be known as a “Good Will -Club” Competition in which the choice of a large number of.
