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.
The songs and choruses by the min-
strelsrt e er

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

DIED ' AT, CARBERRY, MAN.
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,

will sell, and the proceeds of sale will
lie used for the purchase of yearn for
knitting, etc,' One lady remarked,

stock." But should any generous far-
mter froth the surrounding townships
decide to donate a fat cow, sheep or
hog The News -Record undertakes to
say that the ladies will not turn
down such a gift.
The market opens at two o'glock
and all donations will r9.luire to be
in ;before that time, in the forenoon
if possible, so that they may be pro-
perly, placed before the buyers arrive,
