PRESENTATIONS. •
Ori Tuesday evening the Boy Scouts
and the Girl Campers met in St.
Paul's school -room for a 'social ev-
ening. The important people of the
evening were Mr. and Mrs.•oFoul ds
and Mr.. Tenn Wright. For the past•
year Mr. Foulds has been Asst -Scout-
master of the Clinton Troop. Last
summer he got married and the boys
took the occasion on Tuesday night
of presenting Mr. and Mrs. Foulds
with a slight token of their apprecia-
tion. Mr. Tom Wright of Enron Col-
lege has been in charge_ of the Par-
ish of Middleton during the summer
months. He attended both Camps and
was such a factor in their success that
the girls and boys got together and
arranged a presentation to him. Scout
Tom Jackson made the presentation
to Mr. and Mrs. Foulds whilst Miss
Amy Hellyar made the one to Mr.
Wright. During the evening, songs
were sung by Miss Cook,Miss Gib-
bings and.. Mr. Libby and Miss F,.
Rutledge gave a reading. The accom-
paniments were played b
YMiss C.
Ford. "Hot -Dogs" were the main
feature of the programme. For these
it was noted that M'r. G. Anderson
brought hisown mug.
Rev. Mr. McKegney presided. A
very enjoyable evening was spent by
the yomtg people.
AMONG THE CHURCHES.
On Tuesday evening in the lecture
room of Wesley church the Rev. Mr.
Story, who represents a mission being
conducted in South America and sup-
ported by the offerings of those in-
terested, gavea most earnest and in-
teresting description of the work be-
ing thus carried on. To those present
it was a revelation, as condition3 m
the South American Republics are not
very well-known; generally. Mr.
Story's address was illustrated by pic-
tures taken by himself, most of them
of natives. There was a good turn-
out from all the Protestanli denom-
inations in town and the address was
so enlightning that it ought to suin-
ulate interest and a ',liberal support
of the -work of the mission. The Rev.
Mr. McCamus presided. Willis church
Sunday school gave the use of their
lantern for the evening and the Rev.
Mr. Hogg manipulated it. At the
conclusion a hearty vote of thanks,
moved by Rev. Mr. Hogg and Rev.
W. H. Irwin, was tendered the speak-
er.
On the request of the chair a great
many present promised to include
South America in their prayers in the
future,.

HAS BEEN LAID OFF.
Mr. James Stevens • was out' on
Monday after being laid up for some
weeks with blood-poiso10ing in his
right hand. It is not by any means
better yet, eitheil, bub it is hoped the
wprst is over, It was feared that
he might have to lose' a finger and
perhaps his • arm but we trust that
danger is past and that he will con-
tinue to improve and soon be all
right again. -Mr. Stevens. !s of a
very energetic turn and he hasn't en-
joyed his enforced holitiiay at all.
Ile, would much rather be out helping
his son with vareus fall chores on

THE SCHOOL FAIR.
The annual school fair of Clinton
and surrounding schools, was held in
Clinton skating rink yesterday, It
-was an ideal day, i•1'. anything a .bit
too hot. But still as September wea-
ther there was little to complain of.
The exhibition of grain, roots,
fruit, vegetables, Woods, seeds, ete.,
was an excellent one. The -quality-
was good and the exhioits were taste-
fully and attractvely arranged. In-
deed, many township fairs could
scarcely put up a better exhibit, es-
pecially in fruit and vegetables, than
was shown. 'There was also a display
of fancy work, writing, drawing, man-
uel training %worse, etc., which was
verycreditable to the youths and
maidens. Some livestock was shows,
especially fowl, and a considerable
number of eggs. The exhibit of bak-
ing was of especial merit. First,
second or third, prize, everything look-
ed good enough to eat and one felt
that the judges in
this c
se were es-
pecially
pecially favored.
The rink has the eadvantage of
giving plenty of room for display but
the floor being of clay made it rather
dirty. A few loads of sawdust would
have added greatly to the comfort of
those visiting the fair. A day like
yesterday the fair could be held in
the park, which would have made it
more convenient for% the sports, but
in case of rain there is not sufficient
shelter.
This is the second school fair held
here and this year's was a great im-
piovment over last. In a few years
Clinton's school fair will rival any
townhip or district' fair in all this
county, see if it doesn't. The schools
and those responsible for this fair are
to be congratulated. The prize list is
given on another page.

A special effort is being Made to

WITHIN -THE -EMPIRE TRADE.
Mr. W. N. Manning of Sherlock -
Manning Co., London, paid a visit to
their factory here on Tuesday. He
was accompanied by Mr, and Mrs. Th.
de Schryver, Auckland, New Zealand.
Mr. de Schryver is head of Messrs.
Th. de Schryver, Ltd., the largest
house for importing in New Zealand;
and has been in the import business
in that country for twenty-one years.
His firm has an office in New York,
and offices in all the centres of New
Zealand, viz: Auckland, Wellington,.
Christchurch and Dunedin. The Sher-
lock -Manning Co. has clone an ever
increasing business with Mr. de
Schryver for the past eighteen years,
and prospects are good for a very
large business from the Clinton fac-
tory. The New Zealanders are said
to be "more loyal than the King";
and naturally her sympathies go to
Britian and her -Colonies. Mr. cls
Schryver has , placed an order for
samples of pianos from the Clinton
factory for all his four branches In
New Zealand, which on doubt will
lead to an enormous extension of the
business. New Zealand is at the
present time in a splendid position
financally and in every other respect.
Canada er
Manufacturers all over say
that the New Zealand accounts are
the most 'desirable of all—returned
drafts are practically unknown.
Speaking 'of New Zealand, Mr. de
Schryver says, "Per capita, ]ner ex -
Ports are the largest of any nation in
the world. She also can boast of hav-
ing the largest debt, per capita; but
against this _stands the :fact that all
the railways, telegraphs and tele-
phones belong to the people New
Zealand raises sixteen Million sheep
and three and a . half million cattle,
and has a populatitm of only one
million."
Mr. de Schryver is a Belgian by
birth, but since the age --of seven has
lived ether in England or the Colon-
ies ' He can speak five languages, and
has made fifteen trips across the At-
lantic to Canada. This- is the third
trip on which Mrs. de Schryver has
accompanied him. Mr. de Schryver
is .the compiler of the World's Uni-
versal. Code. a dodo which is now be-
ing used by a large number of firms
in Canada and the United States. Mr.
de Schryver's code bill during the last
year of the war was $8000. By us-
ing his World's Universal Code, this
was cult . clown to $6000. Although
the number •of cables bad increased
by 50%. Messrs, E. F. Diew & Co.,
a large exporting house in New York,
make the following statement: "Dur -
Mg the month of May 1920 we ex-
changed with our New Zealand for -
respondent cables, consisting of 2955
English words, which being coded in
the World's Universal Code made 909
cable words, On the Most liberal bas-
is we estimate $600, saved. There.
Were 18 Mutilations and 4 repetitions.

FORMER HURONIAN GONE.
Many of our readers will take a
melancholy interest in reading of the
death, which took place at Lake Lou-
ise, Alberta, on Saturday, Sept. 11th,
of Robert Mcllveen, in his 69th year.
Mr. Mcllyeen had been in his. usual
good health' and at duty one hour
before the grim reaper's visit. He
contracted a chill which caused a
hemhorrage, resulting in death with-
in thirty minutes.
He was born on.. Sept. 19th, -1851,
and was reared on the Base Line in
Hallett township, three miles north
of Clinton. on the Mcllveen home-
stead. In December 18'76 he married

of Clinton, now of Youngstown,
Alta., and one brother, Josiah IVIcIl-
veen of Post Falls, Idaho, also Sur-
vive.

etery on :Tuesday afternoon beside
the remains of his wife, who prede-
ceased him seven years ago. Deceased

and his wife will always be remem-
bered in the community for their sup-
port to this work.

EVAPORATOR WILL OPEN.
Mr. A. Case, of Town & Case, has
arrived from Rose, N. Y., and is busy
getting things in shape at the evap-
orator for the season's operatons: As
apples are plentiful in Huron county
this season there should be no scarc-
ity of evaporating stock and the sea-
son should be a busy one. It Is ex-
pected that the work will start next
week.
HE WAS` HALF -SHOT.
A Clinton gentleman recently re-
turned from a visit to Ireland, was
asked: "But, were you not afraid of
being shot or something while in Ire-
land? Were you ever in danger of
your: life?" "Well, gentlemin", was
the ready retort, "all I can say is
that several times I was half -shot."
And, curiously enough, there was lit-
tle sympathy felt for him amongst
his listeners.

School re -opened in Clinton on
Monday, two weeks later than -the
proper date, but the school building
was not ready nor Will it be for some
little time yet. The classes are scat-
tered about, between the town hall,
where they are both upstairs and
down, the Hosiery Club rooms, over
the Molsons Bank. the "Little School"
and St. Paul's school room. Six
classes are at work, Miss Rodaway
being ill, her class is still holidayinig.
It is needless to'say that both tea-
chers and pupils are worldng at a
great disadvantage as nolo of the
places indicated are in any way fit-
ted as school rooms. It is difficult
to teach properly and the maintain-
ing of anything like discipline is al-
so difficult. They are doing their'best
under the circumstances, however,
and it is hoped the school buildiing
will soon 'be ready for occupancy.
