NICE SURPLUS
FROM TAG DAY
The, Tag Day for Wingham Cit-
izens' Band, which was organized by
the Fall Fair Boosters' Club was suc-
cessful in raising $77.76 over ex-
penses. .
Mr. Herb. Campbell took complete
responsibility for the Tag Day ar-
rangements and the work was well
organized and carried out. The little
square orange colored. tags were very -
much in evidence at the crose of the
day.
The following young ladies acted as
Taggers: Misses E. Metcalie, J. Cope-
land, S. Bennett, E. Rae, B. Walker,
E Procter, E. Jenkins, M. Procter,
D. Walker and K, Fry,
Miss S. Bennett won first and Miss
J. Copeland second for selling the
most tags.
The Band is very grateful to the
citizens for their s.upoprt.
Parachute Jump Impossible
Many attending Wingham Fall Fair
were disappointed that the parachute
jump announced did not take place.
The cause of the diseppointment was
the low visability of the atmosphere.
At four hundred feet the ground could
not be seen. As altitude of 1000 ft.
was necessary for the jump the haz-
ard of a dangerous landing .without
visability was too great.

HON. ROBERT WEIR WELCOMED HOME AT OPENING •
OF THE FALL FAIR. AT WINGHAM, HIS NATIVE TOWN
Robert Weir„ native, of Turaberry
township, scholar in the district, un-
iversity graduate,, school teacher, vet-
eran of tb.e Great; War, school inspec-
tor, has come to his native 'heath
many times in the last decade. But
Fair day "Bob" Weir came home in
an entirely different capacity -- as
Miaister of Agricultuee of this whole
Dominion of Canada.
The Hon. Mr. Weir's capacity in
Wingham was to open the annual
Fall Fair, and his presence probably
spelled the success of the fair for cer-
tainly the elements were against its
success. Early in the morning a drizz-
ling rain commenced which continued
during the entire day. Despite this
the Agricultural grounds were thron-
ged with spectators n..ho heard Mr.
Weir and the other speakers, who in-
spected the exhibits in the buildings
and who watched the judging of live-
stock on the outside.
After being tendered a banquet at
the Agricultural grounds Mr. Weir
returned to town to participate in the
parade to the grounds. All along the
flag -bedecked route he was hailed by
an appreciative crowd.
Leading the procession were the
school children of Wingham public
school caerying• a banner and flags.
Then came the Wingham Citizens'
Band,..pupils of S. S. No. 12 Wawa-
nosh.with a purple banner and purple
tams,.„ S. S. No. 7, Morris, with a
banner;.b.eclecked with Begs, the pup-
ils t;vearing blue and white caps. Then
came the car conveying the Hon. Mr.
Weir and other automobiles, manY
of them decorated. 'Vile prize for the
hest decorted automobile was won by
William Brawley, Wingham, and the
honors in ,school marching were ac-
corded to Winghant Public School, A.
Posliff's room.
After a large crowd had gathered
about the platform, erected for the
occasion, the proceedings were open-
ed by C. G. CaMpbell, president of
the Fair Board. Mr. Campbell ex-
pressed the apreciati on of the Board
M having the Hon. Mr. Weir present
and he also thanked the members of
the Women's Institute and other or-
ganizations and individuals who had
helped make the fair a success.
He then introduced Chas. Robert-
son, M.L,A„ for North Huron, .who
extended his congratulations to Mr.
Weir on his recent appointment. He
thought rural environment had much
to do with Mr, Weir's success. "It
seems to be the function of coMmun-
ities such. as this to train boys and
girls and then send them out into the
world," ' contended Mr. Robertson.
"Mr. Weir is not the first Huron
county min who has made good and
we are looking forward to great
things from Mr. Weir. He takes of-
fice at a difficult time, but I feel sure
he will make good. In Ontario we
also have a new Minister of Agricul-
ture in the Hon. Mr. Kennedy and co-
operation between thse two means,
that big things may be expected."
"When a man becomes a minister
of the Government htusually does
som• ething for his own county," sug.-
gested Mr. Robertson, "We appre-
eia.te that IVIr, Weir does not repre-
sent this county, but this is his na-
tive county and we look forward to
him doing something to put North
Huron, Huron County and Wing.hanx
on the map. We could stand an ex-
perimental farm here right now. l'sts:r.
Weir did not get his appointment by
chance, and the same energy that he
has put into his past life will enable.
hum to make good in his present of-
fice."
George Spotton, M.P., for North
Huron, was called upon to introduce
the honored guest of the afternoon,
Mr. Weir. Mr. Spotton said he was,
happy to introduce "one of our own,
products. He is yet a young inark zi
public life," said Aft Spotton, "but
I am sure, judgtng frOna his past, that
his future is assured. We know full
well he will handle the portfolio well -
I know you are proud of one of your
native boys. It is probably the firsts
time Turnberry has had one of ;le
on boys represented in the council
of •the nation, We have a Minister
of Agriculture who knows the Wet
and who knows the East and much
may be expected of him. r wit/ mi.,-
tainly be proud to sit in the House
and point to Mr. Weir as having- come
from my own constituency."
Weir was then introduced to the large
audience.
"I am a farmer by choice," he said,
"after experiencing • several °dew
