LECTURE WAS
MUCH ENJOYED
.Lecture by Dr. Tehyi Hsiet and Mus-
ic by DeWi11o, Artists Close
Chautauqua Programs.
The final series of Chautauqua pro-
grams on Saturday afternoon and ev-
ening were thoroughly enjoyed by the
small audience that attended,
Dr, Tehyi Hsiet is a remarkable
speaker and being Chinese his remarks
were based on actual experience, also
much study. He told of Manchuria ancl.
'said that in time the Chinese would
absorb these people as they had done
=through the centuries of all other peo-
ple who had invaded parts of China.
He spoke of several books that had
'been written about, China, such as
Pearl Buck's "The Good Earth", end
said they were very good books but
that no one book could depict the
-Chinese people and that it would be
necessary to read many, books to, get
a proper insight into the customs and
'habits of the many different classes
of Chinese people..
The method of Japanese invasion at
Shanghai and in Manchuria was a rev-
elation to his audience. His lecture,
although exceedingly informative was
very humorous and it is too bad that,,
More were not present to hear his
very fine lecture:
The t e'Willo International Artists
made a real hit. In the afternoon they
y..
gave a splendid entertainment and in
the evening the prelude prior to the
lecture was excellent, Maria Matyas,
mezzo-soprano, it one of the best sol-
oists that every sung in these parts.
'I)eWillo Semeratt, concertina artist,
,delighted his audience as did La Na-.
,ami Coffin on the violin and piano.

Co -Operation of the Citizens
o£ This District.
The annual meeting nad election of
officers of the Women's Auxiliary to
the Wingham General Hospital was
field in the Council Chamber. The
Society has had a very successful year
having spent $283,22 for 'furnishings.
for the hospital which included bed-
ding, dishes table linen, :curtaint .
They also purchased medals for the

$28,00, a sewing machine for $30.00,

ance on band of $10.84.

tions, and in the fall the annual 'col-
lection of fruit and' vegetables brought,
in 232 jars of fruit and a large quan-
tity, of vegetables. In the spring a
shower was held and many useful ar-

the town. During the year there were
195 admissions to the Hospital, 15
deaths and 39 births. The Auxiliary
wish to thank all who assisted in any
way toward making their work a suc-
cess, and solicit the co-operation of
the community for the coming year.
We feel that if the citizens realized
what an asset the hospital is to the
town and surrounding district, there
would be a greater interest taken in
the work of the Auxiliary and their
efforts for the upkeep of the hospital.

FINE WEATHER
FOR THE FAIR
Hon, Duncan. Marshall Opened
The Fair
Exhibits Were Of Wonderful Quality
Larger Attendance Than Last •Year
On Wednesday last week, the wea-
ther man was most kind, as the day
simply gorgeous and that is the kind
of day it should be for Wingham fair,
At 1.30 o'clock when Hon. Duncan
Marshall, Minister of Agriculture for
the Province of Ontario, mounted the
platform to open the fair the crowd'
larger than last year were fast gath-
ering. Mr. Marshall in his speech
spoke kindly of fall fairs and expres-
sed the opinion that they did much to
better the class of live stock and help
agricultural industry as a whole. He
said the present Ontario Government
looked with favor on the fall shows
and. gave personal experiences to back
up his contention that the fairs did
much to keep Ontario live stock a
better grade:
The contest for highland dancing
was won by Ann VanWyck of town
with Miss Westoff of Kincardine sec-
ond. The contest for guessing the
weight of a 'steer was, won by Harry
Gerrie of Bellwood, who guessed the
correct weight 1Q30 pounds. The sec-
ond prize went to Walter Woods of
St. Helen's whose guess was 1033
pounds.
The exhibits in the building were
most attractive this year and the quay
ity was of a very' high standard. Two
exhibits that particularly took our eye
were the vegetable exhibit of Mr.
Stuart of Ailsa Craig and Mr. Carter
of Seaforth. Mr. Stuart took the first
prize. He has a collection of 89 veg-
etables and it would have made a good
guessing contest. to see who could
name them all. The other exhibits
were up to standard also, and the at-
tractive display of our local merch-
ants are well worthy of mention. The
local merchants; who had displays
were: King Breit., Radio Shop, M.
Burk, A. J, Walker, Elmer Wilkinson,
and the Walker Stores. •
The horses, Cattle, Sheep, Hogs and
Chickens were a large entry, and the
judges remarked most favorably on
the quality and had much difficulty
in picking the winners.
The horseshoe pitching contests has
grown to be a big attraction here and
there was always a crowd around to
see the players perform. The winners
were.

CONGREGATIONS
ARE LARGE AT

Rev. Donald MacKay, of London,
Preached Anniversary Services
At St. Andrew's.
Large congregations were present
both morning and evening at St, An-
drew's Presbyterian Church on Sun-
day, the occasion being their annual
anniversary services,"
Rev. D. MacKay, of St. George's
Presbyterian Church, London, had
charge of the services. At the morn-
ing service he chose for his text 7th
chapter of Malachi, verse 7, "Return
unto me, and I will return unto you,
saith the Lord of Hosts." He said
that despite the advances in science
the world was in a bad- way. Is there
going to be another war? What can
we do to stop it? He said "I wonder
if the world is in the present condi-
tion because the people are losing
their grip on God. One cause of the
depression was the loss of faith in,
God. He said prosperity could not re-
turn until the world comes back to
God and that prosperity' without God
would be disastrous.
At the evening service he spoke of
the "Hidden .Treasure" his text being
Matthew 13th chapter, 44th verse,
"Again the Kingdom of Heaven is
like unto _a treasure hid in :a field;
the which when a man hath found, he
hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and
selleth all that he hath, and buyeth
that field,"
Over forty years ago when Mr. Mc-
Kay was a student he preached for
several Sundays in St. Andrew's and
he spoke of the happy memory he had
of those days.
The choir assisted greatly in the
service of praise. In the morning they
sang two anthems "Thou Crownest
the Year with Thy Goodness" and
"Seek and Ye Shall Find", the solo
parts being taken by George Hender-
son and Miss E. Gilchrist. At the ev-
