Come and enjoy an hour with a lot of happy children._ The Price of News Print.—Another advance in the price of newsprint is rumored as possible, according* to` the Financial News Bureau, which states that an increase in the price is ex- pected to be made by the mills around the first of -October. The understand- ing is that the new price will range from $130 to $140 per ton for rolled news and $20 in advance of these prices per ton for sheets in two -tan lots and! at the mill. By January, 1921, the prospects are that news- paper publishers will be paying as high as $200 per ton, and it is even possible that this figure will have to be raised later on. At $200 per ton the increase to sheet news users is about 400 per cent., in four years. In 1907 the price was $65 a ton.

This Friday evening the Orchestra will provide music, for the weekly member's dance, commencing at 9 p.m. and playing until 12 p.ni. An earlier ",attendance of members would be appreciated. The Executive have decided to give a dance with lunch, Thanksgiving night, open to members, the fee to be $1.50 for lady and gentleman and 50 cents for extra lady. No invitations will be issued for this affair, it being un- derstood that out of town visitors and friends of the members will be welcomed. A word of explanation as to why the Execlutive have always insisted on our social affairs being confined to memibers, might be in order. The main object of our Club is to provide a suitable meeting place for' the Soldier and Associate Mem- bers, where amusement and social in- tercourse, properly conducted, shall help in the production of a kindlier feeling in the community. It is with- in the rights of every' one to become either Soldier or Associate members and hence the Executive feel this be- ing so, for the well being of the Club, all those desirious of accepting the pleasures provided should become members. There is no intention of making money, on the contrary, every effort is made to .cut down charges which will pay for bare running ex- penses only. Without doubt we have the finest institution of this kind in any county, Brig. -General Panet in making his inspection of the London Military District, characterized the Seaforth Club as the best he had seen anywhere, consequently the Executive feel that it warrants the support and confidence of the people of Seaforth and district. For the upkeep of the Club along these lines, a large mem- bership is essential. This we now have, but hope to do better this autumn and winter. With our week- ly dances and occasional more formal affairs, together with our challenge euchres and proposed` bowling tourn- aments,aevery person in the district should make it a point to become a member, the only necessary condition and our golden rule being that all must conduct .themselves as becomes a lady or a gentleman. Membership cards may be had .frcm-i the Secretary, Mr. C. P. Sills, or from] the Manager, Mr. Ben; Johnston, at the Club Rooms.
