;patty jewellery Store. The photo-

merly employed on the Advance,
Wingham, in the early days when
their father, Theo. Hall, was editor.
'The report says:
In 1899, when Pasadena was a
..place of unpaved streets and small
-stores, J. Herbert Hall came to this
`city and established the firm which
tgoday occupies an outstanding place
in the business Iife of the city, as
'well as the Pacific coast. The store
•today is the central point of the city
.for many pioneers who patronized it
-hen it was in tiny quarters at 43
East ,Colorado street.
In keeping with the occasion; pic-
tnres of the early days in Pasadena
.:.re being exhibited at the J. Herbert
Hall store. The history of the J.
Herbert Hall company is the history
-of the progress of Pasadena, . Build-
ing iron small beginnings prompted,
-by, the knowledge that Pasadena was
-destined to be one of the marvelous
cities of the world, Mr. Hall has al -
`ways endeavored to deal' in the very
finest of merchandise and has taken
.a most active part in civic affairs.
Store of 'Beauty
Dignity and beauty create a won
•derful atmosphere in the J. Herbert
Mall store at 348 East Colorado
street. There is to be found hare
anony in the color scheme, courtesy
is extended to the shopper and the
'display cases arranged with real ar-
tistry all tend. to make of this jew-
elry store one of which Pasadena
may well be proud. It bespeaks the
fine character of the men wlio have
bolded well. The Hallmark quality
in jewelry is the last word.
J. Herbert Hall is president of the
:firm Walter T.' Hall, vice-president;

A REAL WINTER
Following a light fall of snow ten
days ago, scarcely a day has passed
without more 'lenirig add,ed, till now
about e foot and a• half of .'the beauti-
ful covers the land, But it was the
last few days of last week that the
stormed reached its peak,• and assum-
ed a regular February blow, with al -
'most zero temperature. There are
those who say: "I told you so", old
mart 13owes up at Chatsworth predic-
ted this storm for Nov. 27th and he
is not very far out, He seems to have
guessed past about right this time and
if his 'future expectations are to be
realized, the people may comfort
themselves for the stormiest and col-
dest winter for many years, Thurs-
day and Friday snow swirled around
in blinding fluries, almost obscuring
the view across the street, while mot-
or travelling was exceedingly hazard-
ous. So far, the roads are open, but
it would take very little more to make
old dobbin a real necessity in travel-
ling. Over Walkerton' and Hanover
way drifts 10 feet are reperted, but
then 'almost anything may be expect-
ed from Brae,

SPORTS CARNIVAL' A GREAT SUCCESS
DESPITE WINTER CARNIVAL WEATHER
Those behind Wingham Athletic
Association staged a first-class pres-
entation of sports in the Arena on
Friday night,Y but they never counted
on such a wintry blizzard, rather ex-
pecting a fairly decent night, and
roads fit for motoring, Instead old
man 'Aurora Borealis sent down a
perfect blizzard which seemed to be
ats its worst that night. However,
those interested in clean sport in the
town turned out five hundred strong,
and were amply repaid with the en-
tertaining programme provided, and
the efficiency and despatch with
which the different contests were car-
ried out. There was no waiting, and
two or three events were in progress
at the same time, keeping the big
audience interested continually, Sat-
isfactory as was the crowd, consider-
ing the elements, there is no doubt,
but had the conditions permitted, an
equally large number from out of
town would have come.
During the evening Winghain Brass
Band enlivened, the proceedings with
several selections, to the delight of
all, who were pleased to note the con-
tinued improvement in this organiza-
tion's performance.
Interest centered in the wrestling
and boxing contests, which proved
something of a novelty to a present -
clay Wingham audience. In the
blind -fold boxing, Jas. Angus and
Borden Jenkins ducked at nothing,
Punched at the same thing, almost
touched each other in treading the
squared circle, and on the few oc-
casion they came together, struck out
with proper force, only not to make
contact.
Everett and Belrose put up a neat
bit of wrestling, and though the lat-
ter had an apparent advantage in
weight and height, the former gained
the first fall in about a minute. The
next proved longer and more inter-
esting, both rolling on the maty and
it was some time before Everett
could pin his opponent's shoulders to
the mat,
Albert Rintoul proved his superior-
ity as a boxer over Benny Belrose,
having decidedly the best of the first
and third rounds, but in the last half
of the second, Belrose mixed things
up a bit, s
When Harold Dennis and Alvin
Potter stepped into the ring for the
second event, the crowds' anticipa-
tions were in vain, for these two lads
exchanged swings, and• jabs, with
flaying arms, even if there was not
much science, Potter macle a game
and spirited attack in the last round,
taking some and giving more, but.
could not overcome the advantage
gained by Dennis in the first two
rounds,
Interest naturally centered in the
main event of the -evening, when
Jimmy Jones met Brunston of Strat-
ford, arl' auburn -haired chap, who had
a decided advantage in height, weight
and reach over the local . boy. The
latter proved a clever boxer, sand
about half way through the first
round connected twice with his op-
ponent's face, the first a resounding
smash on the cheek. The next to the
chin put Brunston up against the
ropes in his corner, and made him
shake his head to chase the birdies
away. The second round was also
decidedly in favor of Jones, and in
the last Brunston staged a gallant
attack all through only to be out-
boxed by the fleet -footed Jones.
H. C. MacLean officiated as Ref-
eree, with Dr. G. H. Ross and Walter
VanWyck as judges.

WINGHAM COUNCIL
Dr. Stewart, M. O. H., presented
his annual report to Wingham Coun-
cil on Monday night, giving the town
a camparatively clean bill of health,
There had been a few cases of infec-
tious diseases, but prompt action and
corntnendable co-operation prevented
any spread, and no casualties result-
ed. Two tests of town water show-
ed it was pure while the seven milk
vendors complied with the legal re-
quirements. One piece of informa-
tion is hopeful for the future pros-
perity of the town, that last year 75
births had been registered with the
town clerk, Here is proof conclus-
ive that Wingham is growing.
Mr. 3, A, IvtacLean petitioned for
a drain through his property at the
north end of the town and south east
of the cemetery, to be constructed
under the ditches and watercourses
Act. About a dozen other properties
are affected,
Messrs. McKibbon and •Tipling
moved that the county engineer T.
I:
Pattison, be recommended to act
for the proposed MacLean ditch,
Finance Committee reconunendeda
heavy payment of accounts certified
to, for debentures and coupons matur-
ing, and including a grant of $35.00
to the Salvation Army Rescue Home

`OUR NEIGHBOURS'
WAS WELL GIVEN
hetA short three act comedy, entitled
"Our Neighbours", was presented iri
the Sunday Sschool room of the Un-
ited Church on Tuesday evening, Dee.
3rd, by the members of the Victory
Mission Circle) before a packed house.
To lend local color to the play the
names of the ladies living near the
corner- of John and Sinner streets
were chosen to represent the differ-
ent characters in the play, which was
of course an exaggerated story of
how you may let your imagination
run wild.
The comedy begins when Mrs. G.
Spotton runs hurriedly across to Mrs -
A. Walker to tell her about some per-
son moving into a vacant house near-
by. Mrs. Walker then goes to tell
her neighbour, that neighbour doing
likewise, until the story has been
twisted and changed that it bears
no resemblance to the original at all,
The person even going so far as to
say that Mrs. Spotton was dead and;
had, fixed the hour for her funeral,
when she makes her appearance and
demands an explanation. Finding
that their gossip was all untrue, but
that they had found out who really
did move into the vacant house, it
being a promising young local dentist
and his bride, they were glad at least
that they had had something to talk
about, because as they said "Women
must talk you know".
The following are the names of the
players with the name of the person
whorn they had been impersonating:
Mrs. J. O: Habkirk as Mrs. George
Spotton; Mrs. C. R. Copeland as Mrs.
A. 5. Walker; Miss A. Hopper as Mrs.,
W. H. Willis; Miss P. 1. John's as
Mrs, R. Beattie; Miss M. Copeland as
Mrs. G. H. Ross; Miss E. Simpson as
Mrs, C. Adams; Miss E. Hethering-
ton as Mrs. J. A. Morton; Miss L.
Hopper as Mrs. W. Dore.
,A. -short program which was also
appreciated was given before the play
and also in between the acts, consis-
ting of an instrumental by Mr. Arn-
old Vint, a solo by Mrs. J. M. Mc-
