The Goderich industrial Exhibition
of 1917 will be remembered as one of the
most successful and at the Fame time one
of the most disappointing occasions in the
hlst(iry of the Exhibition. Thursday was
"the big day," and one of the largest
crowds ever assembled on the grounds
had gathered in the afternoon. The
grandstand was filled. and the program
had just got nicely started when a down-
pour of rain came and put a stop to the
proceedings. The crowd made for shelter
in the main hall, the poultry house and
any other place that offered protection,
hoping that the rain would soon pass
over; but it kept on. and the program
had to be abandoned for the afternoon.
No admissions were charged in the eve-
ning, in order to make up in some
measure for the disappointment of the
afternoon, but as it continued wet com-
paratively few people were on the
grounds. The weather cleared up om
Friday and in the afternoon a long and -
unusually interesting progr was carried
out before the grandstand. re was a
good attendance, but nothi _ like the
crowds of the previous day.
The speeding events were d

and district are enthusiastic and enter-
prising.
The classes in horses, cattle, sheep and
swine were not large, owing probably to
the fact that farmers are exceptionally
(busy this year. The quality of the ex-
hibits, however, was good.
NOTES.
Everybody who pptronized the dining
hall was much pleased with the splendid
meals served by the ladies of the %omen's
Institute.
The gate and grandstand receipts 'were
in the neighborhood of 81,)400.
The list of prize -winners is published
elsewhere in this issue of The Signal.
One innings of a baseball game between
Clinton and Godench had been played on
Thursday when the rain put a stop to the
game. 'the heals were putting it all over
the visitors.
Mr. Thos. McMillan and Mr. Arch.
Hieiop, the Liberal candidates for the two
Huron seats, were on the grounds on
Thursday.
The weather probs. fur last Thursday
said "Scattered showers." Well, they
were hardly showers, but they certainly
made the crowd scatter.
"Tell your fortune, sir?" Several
prominent citizens succumbed to the
wiles of the fortune-teller. Amongst them
we noticed; Mayor- Munnings. who cater
out of the tent with a big smile.. We
wonder what the lady foretoldd -. robs
bkie
prospects are favorable for his holding the
mayoralty chair next year. Who knows?
Then there was Collector Campbell, but
even though We have used every known
persuasion to gey him to tell us why the
lady made hi rft look so pleased ,Uncle
William won't lett on.

Dan Mardnhis cu ft ?- a
good demonstration of Highland dancing,
Piper Roy Mackenzie furnishing the
music. The band, under the le •rship of
Mr. C. J W. Taylor, although rxk strong
in numbers gave excellent servic and
carried out their part of the pr
most creditably. The Midway attract'
were numerous and varied, from a
fortune-teller's tent to an ambitious little
circus under its Own canvas..
The star attraction, of course, was the
detachment of mounted troops from the
camp at Carling's Heights. The per-
formances of the boys on rprseback, in-
cluding racing. high jumping. wrestling,
etc., were novel and interesting. and the
musical ride was a very pretty exhibition.
At the ciinclusion of their performance on
Friday afternoon the mounted men were
addressed by Mayor Munnings, who
thanked them heartily, on behalf of the
town and the Exhibition directors, for
their visit to Goderich. Major Osborne
replied and said it had been a great
pleasure to the men to be here. t
THE EXHIBITS.
In the main hall the exhibits for com-
petition made a fair average. Probably
because so many of the ladies are busy
knitting this year, the home manufactures
and fancywork classes were not so well
filled as usual. Vegetables made a very
good showing. potatoes especially being
numerous and of excellent quality.
There was a large display of beautiful
cut flowers: hut in fruit, as was to be ex-
pected this year, the showing was away
behind the standard of the Goderich fair.
The scarcity of apples in the district was
'effected in the comparatively small dis-
play of the fruit upon which Huron
county prides itself.
The exhibit of the Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture occupied one side of
the south wing anll attracted much at-'
tendon. Its most prominent and inter-
esting feature was a number of models of
farm devices. such as a portable hog
fence, a silo, poultry houses, poultry fat-
tening crates, feed racks, etc. -all, of
course, in miniature.
Several of the local merchants had at-
tractive displays. Hodgens Bros. showed
carpets and draperies, D. Millar & Son
specialized in woollen goods, including
the famous Dr. Jaeger goods, and J. H.
Colborne had a display of rugs and silks,
Fred hunt occupied the centre with a
large display of plumbing goods, stoves,
etc.; Chas. C. Lee showed stoves and
other goods in his line, and C. J. Harper
specialized in lighting fixtures. Jas. F.
Thomson. of t e well-known music store,
made an exhi t comprising Heintzman
& Co. pianos, ictor victrolas and White
sewing machines. Another attractive ex-
hibit was that of Wesley Walker. the
furniture man. Purity flour. in bags of
various sizes, occupieda' space, and up-
stairs Mr. L. B. Tape demonstrated the
fine points of the Singer sewing machine.
Chevrolet cars were shown by Mr. Geo.
Johnston.
A cy of young ladies had a
corner of the hall where they conducted
several money -making enterprises in the
interests of the Daughters of the Empire.
They did a thriving Niftiness. especially
when the rain chased the people indoors.
The new spick-snd span poultry hall
had a collection of birds that would have
done credit to an exhibition in one of the
larger cities. Goderich has become an
important centre of activity in poultry -
raising and the poultrymen of the town
RAIN HITS SLYTH FAIR.
Outside Show Postponed to Thursday,
October it.
Blyth fair, on Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week, was unlucky in the matter
of weather. The inside exhibits were
placed on Tuesday, but owing to the con-
tinued rain on Wednesday it was decided
in postpone the fair until Thdrsday.
October 11. when the program of attrac-
tion,will be carried out and the outside
departments of the show will be on view.
With the exception of fruit, which made
only a sniall showing, the inside exhibits
were bettet.than usual. The ladies' work
was very g the roots and vegetables
were extraor ars, and other classes
made a better sttttwing than usual.
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
TO 8E ADVANCED.
A meeting of the newspaper publishers
of Goderich and Clinton was held on
Monday at Clinton, and it was decided
that within the next few months the ad-
vance subscription price of the news-
papers represented at this meeting will be
Increased to fd.50 a year.
This step is taken not to swell the bank
accounts of the publishers, but simply to
make ends meet in view of the heavy in-
creases in the cost of producing a news-
paper. The movement for an increased
subscription price is general throughout
the country, and the Goderich and Clin-
ton papers are about the only ores in this
section that have not already made the
change. With the prices of paper, ink,
type and practically everything else that •
goes into the making of a newspaper in-
creasing by leaps and bounds. and the
prices received by the publishers remain-
ing at the old low hgure, the newspaper
man has had a hard time of it. and the
increase of the subscription price is ab-
solutely necessary to enable the business
to sprvive.
Later on a definite announcement will
be made as to the date upon w4 ch the
increase is to take effect. Subscribers will
be given several weeks' notice.

A convention of the Conservatives of
