THE' CONCERTS,' As was suggested by The, News- Record a few -weeks ago it seems a useless waste of money to bring in an outside concert company for the en- tertainment of Clinton people when Stich excellent entertainments can be presented by home talent. ., 01 course, the programs of Monday. and Tuesday evenings were not all supplied by home talent, but most of those taking ,part were of Clinton., past or present, and all will admit that the entertainments were among the best ever put 011 here. - At half past seven on Monday ev- ening the hall was packed and people- wero, being turned away unable to ob tarn even standing room.;.• A moving picture machine was in-. stalled in the town hall for the oc- casion and pictures were thrown upon the screen until it was time for the curtain to go up and when it did it disclosed a fine arra{' of minstrels with Mayor Jackson in all the bravery of a green velvet suit and powdered wig, as centre man.

Past, Stewart Jackson, Fred Thompson, C. Whitmore and Masters Willis Cooper Jack Bawden and Tom Jackson, Messrs. Stewart Jackson, ('. W. Whitmore, Fred Ford and. John Mc- Caughey, as end -men, were very fun- ny and kept the audience convulsed with laughter. 11essr•s. J. 111oCaughey and qi{to b fries did a funny little- suint whibh great- ly amused' the auclien_e. Mr, Elgin Mason also sang a. cou- ple of songs and did a dancing stunt which caught the audience, once ap- pearing in Highland costume', Miss Prince and Mr. Stewart Jack 'son went througha couple of little playlets which were not only funny but pretty and also „gave some of the new and popular dances together. The performance Was brought to a close by thesinging of the national an- them,-. ' The whole shove was, .fully up to that presented by: many professional. companies. It wasbright and full, of movement throughout and was, of coursa,,,free from anything bordering. upon the objectionable. Much of the success of• the enter- tainments was due to the efforts of. Mr. Stewart Jackson; c Isilo trained 'the bogs -for the choruses and took 511011 a leading part himself in the performances and Without whom they could hardly have been brought to such a successful ending. Miss Dag- mar Prince - of Toronto also added much to the pleasure of the evening by her pretty: acting and dan- cing, as; did the presence of Mr. Ernest' Lawrence, also of Toron- to, who is himself a composer and who has written and staged a play or ttvo, one of which, "The Western- ers" was put og in one of the Tor-' onto theatres for several nights -a few years ago and in which Mr. Stewart Jackson took a leading part. • Mr. Elgin ' Mason As another old' Clinton boy who contributed to the success. of Monday evening's perfor- mance by his singing and dancing. ` Miss Jean C'hidleyh acted as accorn- paniste each evening, performing an important and difficult part very sue- ces511llly, ' On Tuesday evening 'Mr.: Elgin Mas- on did' not take part, but Mrs. How- ard IIuniplwcys contributed a ,solo. and was, obliged to "respond to an en- core. Mrs. I-Itnphreys is always wel- come before a Clinton audience, not ,, :onl}i because of her charm as a sin g- er, ger, but also because of the fact that she is a native .ol the town. Quite a lively ticket selling contasi was engaged in by a number of the boys for a week previous • to. the -con- cert. Three prizes were offered and Were won as follows : First, a gold ;watch, Orville Murphy ; Second, pair of boys' bloomers, Earl Steep ; Third, a fountain pen, Leighton Walker. The hall was jammed Tuesday even' Trig, again ,and many people; were un- able toobtain seats. Sonic who had driven ilk' Sfx ox 'seven miles fr•onn the country` were unable to even gain an 'entrance either night, The concerts were certainly a success and in con- , of the fact,the proceeds amounted to $250. As r.' '1'. Jack- son, Jr,, with whom the idea of hold- ing the concerts originated,' all l x c penses connected with them the en- tire proceeds will be handled to the central Patriotic and Relief Corinhnit tee to be used as needed during the' coming winter, When "Uncle" Toni undertakes anything it generally,.1 !'goes."

Word was received here last week of the death, which took place on the Ind inst., of Mrs, Daniel Switzer' of. Carberry, Man. The late Mrs. Swit- zer was formerly Miss Elizab eh Ag- new \ 6 �•- new and was a sister of. Mrs, J. Sny- der, nyder, Mrs. .5. Jervis and Miss (i, Ag- new of town. It is a good mann years since the family •went west. Mrs. Switzer,' whose death amid un- expectedly to her Clinton relatives who Were not aware that She was seriously ill, is survived 'by her bus - band and a family pretty will grown up, the youngest being a girl of fif- teen years, BACK FROM -THE WEST: Mr, Thos. Archer, who has .been in Southern Manitoba for the past six- teen months, arrived in.C.lihiton Mon- day evening and will probably remain here for: the ;winter, 115rs. Archer did hot -return with; him, being unable to leave' tier daughter, Mrs. Macdonald of Griswold, who has been an invalid for the past couple of years and Whose. health does not seem to int prove. Mr. Archer says the threshing is ov- er in the west and/'hat in southrtn Manitoba, as i1 most other sections, the crops have been;considerahle of a failure this year, not averaging more than twelve bushels to the ac- re. Ile •says • the shortness ' of the `crop was due for the most parte to the hot winds following on the dry weather which came ,just as the grain was filling. Ile says that many of the farmers. are in a bad ways and but for the fact that prices are higher than they have beeu for some years would be much worse off -than, they 'are.. This shortage of crops, ,,together ' with the dullness caused .by the war, effects the towns badly and everywhere factories are Closing and many men are out of em- ployment. Mr, _Archer thinks the peo- ple of the west have been going, alto- gether; too fast; however, and a reac- tion was' Slue 'to coque. ''That country is fairly swarming with autos," said he, "why, you'd he l'Onely ifyoudidn't; meet one 'every - couple of miles as you - drive along the road, If a' short crop had followed a couple of good 'ones it would have been., -better for most of them butt a;succession of bumper crops' served to give the people swel- led head He thinks, however, that the west will eventually conte out all right. Tho farms will have to be made smaller, ,fertilized properly and lucre carefully ;worked ,and the sooner this is recognized and acted upon the better it will he," remarked Mr, Ar- cher, Froin, a fain near Griswold owned by "Irish" Robert Stewart, Mr. Ar- cher brought home a potato. which he says Was a-sanhew'hat average one and which tipped the scale at thirty- eight : ounces. In the field ,where this, tuber was' grown Mr. Archer says there were no small ' potatoss, ,every one .being of good size; the smallest heing little less than hail this : size, and the strange part of it is that the crop was -supposed to be a failure un- til' quite late in 1:11c season, Having all grown to .tops, .the main growth took place within the last couple of months, Wearo glad that the west can grove such potatoes as the one exhibited but Old Ontario 15 not by any means behind as Mr. R.. 0, Smith of 11ul'lett weighed one of his the other day and found that it came within oneten o c0 of three pounds. Mr. Smith says he could pick hushcsls from his bin which weigh _t.w0 pounds, It. is well .that both east and -west have • such a good crop of potatoes this year, they will be needed and it is one, of the things 1-0 be thanked for, THE L'OC'AL' MARKET, whe•'1.0 at $ 0.
