BAND TATTOO
AUGUST 12th
Citizens of Wingham and district
will be delighted to know that the
Citizens' Band Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce has arrange-
ments well under way for the An-
nual Band Tattoo.
Something special is promised this
year by way of programme and a
highly successful event is expected.
Several bands from outside have al-
ready expressed their intention of
being present, and their shining in-
struments and brilliant uniforms will
make a colorful spectacle that all
will want to see.
There will be fireworks as usual
and this display will prove a feature
of attraction, itself worth the price
of admission.
Mr. Herb. Campbell, Chairman of
the Committee says the price of ad-
mission will be twenty-five cents and
the program will be the biggest val-
ue for the money offered in many a
day.
Mark your calendar then, so that
Friday, August 12th, will be kept
open for the Band Tattoo, and watch
for further announcements.
FARM DELEGATION
INVADED OTTAWA
2000 STRONG
Premier Received Committee,
But Did No0Attend Meeting
Last Saturday 2000 farmers held a
mass meeting at Ottawa. They hiss-
ed and jeered when a committee ad-
vised them that the Prime Minister
declined to attend.
Last month J. J. Morrison, secre-
tary of the U.F.O.; wrote to Mr.
Bennett asking for an appointment
for a delegation. Mr. Bennett re-
plied that he would be willing to
receive a small delegation on Satur-
day, July 16—that first the organiza-
tion's representations should be sent
to him in writing, so that they could
be submitted to the Imperial Con-
ference; and after that, the commit-
tee might supplement those recom-
mendations.
Mr. Morrison thanked Mr. Bennett
for the appointment. Instead of
sending a limited delegation to sup-
plement the representations duly
made on June 25 in writing, the mass
meeting was called and despatched
H. E. Lindsay, director of the U.F.
0., as spokesman, with a number of
other to "request" Mr. Bennett to
appear before the mass meeting.
Mr. Bennett, in the thick of in-
tensive preparations, for the Imper-
ial Economic Conference, due to see
Lord Bothermere on an appointment
made weeks ago by wire, and with
British and Irish delegates arriving,
received Mr. Lindsay and his con-
freres, with Hon. Robert Weir, Min-
ister of Agriculture. The Prime
Minister courteously, but very firm-
ly, rejected the request that he at-
tend the mass meeting.
The question arose as to what
should be done. A memorandum set-
ting forth briefly the views of the
meeting on Empire trade, Empire
currency and agricultural representa-
tion on advisory board at the Imper-
ial • Conference, had been approved.
It was finally decided to appoint a
committee of the U.F.O. executive,
three members from the French-
speaking farmers and three members
from 'the meeting at large, to follow
up deliberations of the Imperial
Conference and deal with .matters of •
organization.
The personnel of the committee is
as follows; R. J. Scott, of Belgrave,
president of the U.F.O.; Mrs. E. C.
Guyitt, president of the U.F.W.O„
J. J., Morrison, secretary of the U.
F.O.; Rodolphe Beaudet, president of
the Union des Cultivatettrs Franco-
Ontariens; Miss Agnes Macphail, F"
C. 'Biggs, former Minister of High-
ways for Ontario; Alderic Lalonde,
Rigaud, Que., Ab•elle Marion, Comp-
ton, Que.; Paul Boucher of Mont-
real.
Lawson _ Wilson
On July 14th, at the home of Mrs.
George ' MacDonald, Bluevale, the
marriage of her daughter, Margaret
Deenelda Robb Wilson, to Harold
Clark Lawson, of Clinton, Ont., was
very quietly solemnized. Owing to
recent bereavement in the family;
only immediate relatives were pres-
ent. Promptly at eleven o'clock Miss
Dorothy Carr, of Toronto, neice of
the bride, took her place at the piano
and to the strains of Lohengrin's
Bridal Chorus, the bride and groom
took their places, unattended, in the.
living room, before a bank of regal
lilies, delphinium and ferns, the bride.
entering on the arm of her mother,
who was gowned in black lace with
corsage of orchids.
Rev. R. C McDerinid, of St.
Paul's Presbyterian Church; Toron
to, formerly of Goderich, and a for-
mer pastor of the bride, and an old
friend of the fancily, performed the
' marriage ceremony.
The bride looked particularly
charming in a gown of ivory suede
lace over satin with bridal veil ar-
ranged in cap fashion and held in
place by orange blossoms. She car-
• ried her shower bouquet of brier-
cliffe roses and baby breath, her on-
ly ornament being a pendant, a gift
from her father to her mother on
their wedding day. A dainty wed-
ding breakfast was served on small
tables in the dining room, the bride's
cake was served from a silver cake
'basket; it being a gift to the bride's
great grandmother on her silver
wedding anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawson left by mot-
or for a trip, East—going as far. as
'Quebec. Mrs. Lawson donned a be-
coming gown of navy and grey with
navy :flannel coat and silver fox fur,
the gift of the groom, T-Ier hat was
white pattaana, with shoes, 'gloves and
purse to match. On their return they
Will- reside in Bluevale for the sum-
-trier and will be at home to their
,friends in Clinton after October lst.

This Presentation Fully Up To
Expectations
The very clever comedy "New
Brooms," the first program of the
Chautauqua series made a decided
hit with the audience on Tuesday ev-

throughout the show kept the crowd
in a happy mood and was particular-
ly adapted to our present generation.
The story was that of a father and
son; the son fresh from college con-
sidered his Dad an "Old Fogey"
creaturing some very humorous sit-
uations.

day, July 2Sth, at 3 o'clock. This
meeting will be of special interest as
it is Grandmothers' Day, and a good

pared. Everybody welcome.
Fire Causes No Damage
On Tuesday morning about 7
o'clock, the late sleepers were dis-
turbed by the cry of the siren. How-
ever, when the firemen arrived at
Norman Shiells', it was not neces-
sary to fight the flames as they had
already been extinguished. It ap-
pears that Mrs. Sheill had been boil-
ing wax on top of the stove, some
boiled over and took fire. The bal-
ance of the wax that remained in the
dish was carried outside and the rest
burned away, and little or no dam-
age was caused by
the flames.

gale. This afternoon of music will
truly delight the most critical aud-
ience,
"Cotter's Saturday Night"
A. musical dramatization which has
never before been presented in Can-
ada. Chautauqua Committee feel
they are particularly fortunate in
procuring this Scottish Musical com-
edy. Favourable reports of this pro-
gram have been received from all
places where it has been presented,
Its success in Scotland has been•
phenomenal and the people of this
district will long remember this par-
ticular production that will be given
on Thursday inght.
Marionnettes
Here is something of special int-
erest to kiddies—grown-ups will.also
be pleased. Sue Hastings'. Marion-
nettes p'resenting "Hansel and Gret-
all" "Goldelocks" and "Three Bears".
Every kiddie has learned to love
these stories and now is the time to
see their little friends play their.
parts.
The admission for this feature is
25c for all.
Of Special Interest to Men
Attorney C. Ray Hansen comes to
us with a first-hand message of
gangster life. Attempting to prev-
ent fraudulent methods at the Chi-
cago polls, during elections, he was
kidnapped and held for some time by
the Capone gangsters. In order that
he may learn more of the inner
workings of the gangster system he
joined one of the gangs so that he
may more capably aid in the sup-
pressing of this organized evil. His
vivid message and descriptions of
the inner workings of these ruthless
men is a story worth hearing and al-
though fortunately in Canada we are
free of this type of activity, we arc
the better for knowing how to com-
pete with it—as we are so closely
connected geographically with the U.
S.
John B. Ratto
This artist ranks of the finest im-
personator on the North American
Continent. For thirty years Mr.
Ratto has been the headline attrac-
tion on the Redpath Circuits, having
visited the large American cities. A
most interesting part of this program
is his vivd impersonations of famous
historical characters, present and
past. This prorgam should be of
special interest to the children as
well as to the adults—as it will give
them an opportunity of seeing high
class impersonation and art that is
rarely highly developed but by few
people.
"Merely Mary Ann"
This Romantic Drama is well
placed on the program, as although
coming last it brings to a close a
week of highly entertaining programs
in a most fitting manner. Although
we call this a Romantic Dratna there
is abundant humor and this popular
presentation is a direct adaptation by
Israel Zanwill from his own story of
the same name.
The variety of programs that have
been presented during the week
reach their crescendo in this popular
and pleasing English presentation
"Merely Mary Ann."

HONEY BEES GALORE
AT PARISH HALL
Bill Hayes and Jack Adams, who
are at work, renovating Mills' Hall,
for the local Masonic Lodge, while
working at the left front of the
building, near the roof, last Satur-
day, came upon a nest of honey bees.
The wall in this particular part had
to be rebuilt and while replacing the
brick the bees made it hot for them.
They were more than repaid for
inconvenience the bees caused them
as they successfully removed from
the nest a wash tub, a five gallon
crock, and two small crocks of lion-
ey, It is estimated that this honey
will weigh -about 100 lbs.
To complete the work .on the,
building the men had to wear net-
ting over their heads as the bees, al-
though most removed, continued to
fly about the old home.
