Subscriptions, $2,00 Per Tor FIRE DESTROYS WROXETER MILL Mondey night abseil, 9.30 flames were noticed bursting from the uPPer story windows of H. i. Smith's flour mill and, •shortly the building was a. mass of -flames only a very little of ;the stock of flour or feed was saved, Only last fall Mr. Smith had this mill •ternodellecl and installed the latest machinery for making high grade flour, and the mill was well stocked with flour and feed. The loss on the building and contents will be aver $20,000 with insurance of $10,000 and 44,000 �n oontents: Mr. Smith had ,used the chopper up until about 6,30 when he closed the mill. The fire was likely caused by a nail going through the 'chopper which lodged in the elevator, :until fire broke out later. Lucky for the place there was very little wind as •the sparks floated directly over Hemphill's split pea mill and the eastern half of the town. But with the aid of some men work- ing on the Bell Telephone repair gang who kept the roofs oF the pea rnill and residences nearby wet with water :supplied by. men and women, mostly avotnen, no other damage was done. Mr. Smith's loss will he heavy also the village. will be at a loss as prob- ably the mill may not be rebuilt.

The warmer weather, with its wealth of brilliant sunshine, the invigore.ting aroma of fresh garden earth intermingled with that of bursting bud. and fragrant bloom, yes, and even the fire crack- ers of' the 24th, have all had their .effect on the softball farts and im- mediate action is resulting. Recent meetings of the Wingharn. Athletic Association have affected close harmony with the former Soft Ball Association and the following Committee under the direction of the W.A,A. have been appointed to sup- er•vize softball this year: F. O. Pres- ton, Chairman, Ed, Small, Fred Full - Those responsible for the reorgani- zation of this popular sport are al- ready assured of four strong teams being entered for the season's sched- ule, and it is anticipated that a fifth will be easily added. The Captains of ithe tearns already orgepized are ask- ed to meet with the committee and. the officers of the W.A.A., on Thurs- day night, May 29th, at 8 pen., for the purpose of drawing up a schedule. The first game is billed for Mon- day night next and the teams- will be expected to assentble as early as pos- sible after the evening meal. Present indications are that two games Per week will be played. ''.Che property committee of the town have had the grass cut on the parle and the Soft Ball grounds emannitlee expect to make the games more interesting. It is a deplorable fact that a live town such as ours is not favored with civic seating accommodation in our park, nor is the Wingharn Athletic Association aided by any civic finan- cial assistance for this or other pur- poses. It is hoped however, that those in charge will be able to arrange seat- ing accom.modation for at least 100 people. We are able to report that this is definitely under consideration. The Comnsittee would like to ac- commodate every one who wants to play, and extra teams can be organ- ized if aofficient players are available. If you have not already been asked to play and would like to get in the game please phone or personally see Dr. Geo. Howson, at his Dental Of- fice. Dr. Howson is the secretary of the Winghaan Athletic Association, and will be glad to have your applica- tion at once. Candidate in North Bruce . •Mr. Wrn. Mitchell, Manufacturer of the Circle -Bar Hosiery, at Kincardine was chosen as the Conservative can- didate to oppose Hen. Jas. Malcolm in North Bruce.
