Mr.- Curnriiings of St. Ilelen's closed the meeting with prayer. Woman Ends Her Life The citizens of Blyth were very much shocked Monday -morning when the, word came that Mrs, A. Sander- son, who lives about one and one- quarter miles Horth of Blyth, had corn-, miteed suicide. It seems that she had not been feeling well for some time, being troubled with headaches, but nothing was thought of it. On Mon - .day morning she got up as usual to get the breakfast and her husband went to do the chores. He carne in about 7 o'clock and noticed the driv,' ing shed door open and went over to shut it, when he discovered •hiswife hanging there. He immediately cut her down and the body was still warm. The doctor was ',wired for, but tnoth- +ing could be done to revive her, ' The deceased, whose maiden name was Miss McCallum, carne from Huller, and was married about 12 • years ago, and leaves to mourn her loss her hus- band and two young sons. • "Th' ut.othe onv,n le ad. 8 winter ha* tiergain or, balloon pats they're, re g'oxa.n a lose o*t t`ta wawa + p" W'INQHAM See list of S ecia's in this paper.

Bluevale School Fair Successful In Spite of Threatening Rain The ninth Bluevale School Fair held on Friday, !reached the usual mark in point of exhibits, the attend- ance being somewhat less than in pre- vious years on account of threatening weather. " Occasional showers did not spoil the, events however and a good afternoon's entertainment was provid- ed. The School Fair is of, very real interest because the people have a per: sonal feeling far the exhibitors and take a pride in the work of the boys and girls. This year five schools competed. The toal number of pupils in all is 85, Bluevale being the only large school, and the hundreds of en- tries testified to their diligence. Near- ly all the classes were well filled, the livestock showing more estries than usual, Flowers did not appear at their best, owing to recent storms., Nature Study collections deserve spe- cial mention because of the amount of care required to prepare them. There was a large showing of vegetables. The afternoon's - events began with the school parade. It was a pretty sight to see the line-up of children with their distinctive decorations and banners. •Bluevale pupils, dressed in white and gold, won the shield, No. celeloeris, came second their boys and girls representing farmers and farmer- ettes in their real • working clothes. The -pupils of No. 9, Turnberryap- peared as Indians, with quaint .head dresses and bright beads,, Browntown School and No. 2, Turnberry had de- corations of red,' white and blue. No. 9 Turnberry won the singing contest, choosing an Indian song to corresposd with their poster -rtes. Bluevale came second and 13rownfown third. Spee- ches were given by Gertrude Turvey, who won first place, Mary Harris, Adair Prast and George Ilethering- toil, Dr. 5. M. Field, Mr: S. B. Sto- thers and Mr, J. W. King, M. P,, also delivered short addresses. The children and their elders enter- ed heartily into the enjoyment of the sports. Costests of many kinds were followed by a,good game of soft ball' between the ladies teams - of James- town: and Bluevale. The former won by a considerable margin but ' the Bluevale fans are not publishing the score. A supper prepared by the ladies, of the sections and served under thq aus- pices of the Women's 'Institute, con- cluded the day's program. The elements could . not detract from the quality of the concert given in the. Foresters' 'Hall,- though 'rain and wind and lightning did their best, Quite a number braved the weather to enjoy Mr. McGee, comedian, Mrs. VanWyck, reader, -.:Mr, Fryfogle vio- linist, Miss M. Garniss, soloist and Miss Nancy • Taylor, dancer. Every number was appreciated and we are favoured in having such fine talent in the , vicinity. Mr. 3. W.

The Maitland Presbytery Passes On Into History 'The Presbytery of Maitland met on Thursday in Wingham for its final greeting. , This presbytery wes formed out of the south part of Bruce and the North part - of Huron counties, but with the formation of the United chur- ch presbyteries, whose boundaries fol- low -'that of the counties Maitland passes out of existeti,ce. Rev, E. F. Chandler, of Walton, occupied the moderator's chair, Rev. C, Tate, of 13luevale, was granted leave of absence froth the pul- pit till after the meeting of the Lon- don Conference. The ,treasurer's books showed all accounts paid and a balance on hand of $22.7o. This was• divided- as fol- lows: $xo to the Northern Summer School at Port Elgin and the remaind- er equally divided between the new presbyteries of Huron and Bruce, A memorial was received from the W. M. S. of the i incer line district to,be forwarded through the Presby- tery of Bruce to the next general council tiquesting that Bruce County be included within the bounds of the Loudon Conference: Mr. McIntosh of Wingham; Mr, Cumming, of, St. Helens, and Mr. Snaith of Molesworth, were appointed a committee to bring certain platters} before the Presbytery of -Huron, which meets on September x5. An appreciative resolution of the character, worth and abilities of the clerk, Rev. N. A. Bradley, who for 12 years has acted in that capacity,.. was presented . by the members of the court, and ordered to be placed on the minutes. With a sense of regret that the old presbytery was now dissolved, but Of The Conservative Party Winghatn's big Arena was the scene of a gathering of possibly four thous and people on Wednesday afternoon to listen to the address of I.t. Hon Arthur Meighen, former Premier of Canada. Dr. R. C. Redmond capably acted as chairman and Mayor Willis in a neat address welcomed the forester premier to Wingham. Among those who had seats on the platform were: John Joynt, M, P. P. for North Hur- on, E. R. Wigle, M. P. P. for Centrep Huron, N. W. Trewartha, M. P. P. for South Huron, F. W. Lippert, the Con- servative candidate for South Bruce Senator Donnelly- of Pinkerton and Col. Hugh Clark of Kincardine. • Acknowledged by Grit and Tory alike as the most able debater in the House of Commons. Rt. Hon. Ar- thur Meighen in a convincing and lo- gical address- held : the vast crowd in a sultry building in the closest atten- tion as he outlined the policies on which he is snaking his appeal to the people of Canada in the forthcoming election: In denouncing the enormous capi- tal investments in building large ho- tels in connection with the manage- nientof the C. N. R. Mr. Meighen de- clared: "You ask what Z would do. I will tell you. I will stop these new capi- tal investments with a strong hand the first month I am in power. "There will be no more Scribe Ho- tels, no more skyscrapers on Yonge Street, there will be no more extra- vagant golf courses and radio systems here, there and everywhere( there will be a determined effort to get the last dollar out of the property we have and not keep addingblindly to our obligations and our troubles," , As to the tariff, Mr. Meighen de- clared that the people of Canada had never yet passed upon that issue. During the last elections the matter of the tariff was beclouded, for the reason that Mr. King preached vary- ing stories at varying points in the Dominion, but now that the, people had paid the price, in the form of business depression, for the lack of an adequate protective policy, he felt that the bulk of the citizens must Have come to a realization of the fact that. the King policy of dickering for the support of the Progressives was de- trimental. to e-triinental.to the future of Canada, and that accordingly they would vote against the Government. As to Senate reform, Mr, 'Meighen declared that it had never been con- sistent with Conservative • principles to pledge men appointed to the Senate to adopt any. definite attitude . in the Upper House, and further, he .hall- enged any person to say wherein Mr. Ring had outlined any definite reform The only reform • he could see in Mr. King's address was the feeling that as soon as the Senate had a Liberal ma- jority, it would be quite to ehe liking of the Liberal leader. • . As to immigration, the Liberal lea- der had promised nothing- definite, but Mr. Meighen's solution is to be found in the " increased prosperity which would be brought about by an .ade- quate tariff policy to encourage in- dustry to go ahead and create a de- mand for new citizens and make Can da a country to which all azrenigrants. would turn their eyes. The Kine Government, he declared had done nothing; to the advantage of Canada,, it had done rrxuch that was detrimen- tal, it had driven hundreds of thous ands of citizens from the country, it had piled up taxation until the burden,, is almost unbearable and it had lost ��^, all grounds to believe that it could re- tain the confidence of the electors. The Conservative leader met a re- - - markably fine reception at this point,. as, in addition to being met at the sta- tion by a large delegation of citizens from several counties, and a Kitty - band from Kincardine, he was given a parade around the town before the meeting. He was supported on the platform by many of the prominent Conserva- tive workers in this portion of Wes- tern Ontario, while Hon. James Ly- ons, Minister of Lands and Forests, in the Ontario Government, accom- panied him from Toronto. The latter declared that the meeting was to re- affirm the faith of Conservatives in the future of Canada, to declare their confidence in `the leadership of Mr. Meighen, and to express a tribute to the\ greatness of the Conservative party, - (Continued on page 2) Selling Chinese Articles Miss Janet Manson, returned Chin- ese Missionary, wviil be at the Women's Missionary meeting in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Thursday af- ternoon of this week and will have a display of chiuese work for sale.

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. - Nichelson, of Midland, were corning - from Grand Bend in a new Cadillac sedan and were passing another car at a bend in the road, both cars go- ing pretty fast, when .Mr. Nicholson evidently lost control of his car.

When the car fell ov- er on its right side, Mrs. Nicholson had her arm out the window, and it was terribly crushed as the car sped a .long in the ditch.
