From an artistic point of view the ' entertainment was a pronounced suc­ cess, the various members of the cast ; taking their part* in a most admirable 1 manner. Financially, however, it was < a failure, the patronage being most disappointing to the management. There was a verv small attendance the first night, but on Tuesday evening the hall was well filled. The excellence of the play and the' splendid manner in which it was put on merited a crowded house both evenings. The choruses were bright tfnd tuneful, and the principal parts were taken in a manner that would have done credit to professionals; indeed many worse plays play* have been presented in the Tillsonburg opera house by companies who counted themselves as profession­ als. The musical numbers wcreunder- the direction of Mr. James Taylor of Ingersoll, and the accompaniment' were very capably played by Mis* Margaret Parlow.The scene of the play was the market place in the village of Osen- dorf, Holland; the time midsummer. It was in two acts, between which Miss Margaret Ellis, in her inimitable man­ ner, presented a very humorous sketch, Gertie Get* Golf, which brought down the house.The cast of characters was as fol­ lows : Hans, a young Dutch apprentice, Mr. Verne Currie; aunt Anna, Christ­ ina's guardian, Mr*. Bert Trestain; Katinka, a village maiden. Miss Helen Trestain; Hendrick Van Oster, burgo­ master of Osendorf, Mr. Bill Murray; Christina, a charming Dutch girl.

Leo Howey, soil of Mr. James Howey of Eden, met with a fatal accident this morning. He was fixing the trip rope on the track of the hay fork when by some mean* he lost hi* footing and fell to the floor below, a distance of about twenty feet. He struck his head on the cultivator, breaking the back of the skull and rendering him unconscious. His brother tried to remove him, but being unable, to do so hastened to a neigh­ bor’s for help. During hi* absence the unfortunate young man apparently became semi-conscious, and in moving around fell through a trap-door to the basement. Medical aid was speedily summoned but nothing could be done for him. and he passed away about an hour later without regaining consciousness. He was twenty-one years of age, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. The sympathy of the community will be extended to the bereaved parent* in their hour of sore affliction.

Diphtheria Can Be Prevented ly for iris of the Important Research By London Doctors Health Service of the Canadian Medi­ cal Association Diphtheria is caused by the poison oe toxin produced by the diphtheria germs lodged In the human body, usually in the throat and nose. When this toxin attacks the bod^', the latter seek* to protect itself, and it doe* so by producing diphtheria antitoxin or anti-poison, which count­ eracts or neutralizes the toxin. If this occurs quickly enough and a sufficient quantity is produced, the ody wins and recover}' results. Not •nly docs recovery take place but omething happens inside this human body which enables it. in most cases, o prevent a second attack of the dis­ ease.Can protection similar to that con- erred by one attack of the actual dis­ ease be gained without the danger of death and without fear of the suffering hat come* with the disease? The Answer i* “Yes." Diphtheria can be prevented by the njection of dipKthcria toxoid or tox- n-antitoxin. This method is known as 'diphtheria immunization. The injec- ions stimulate the body to produce the ubstances which arc the fighting orces against diphtheria. These sub- tances are not developed at once; it tike* several weeks for this to occur, ut after the development has taken place the person is immunized protected against diphtheria, just he would have been had he had attack of the disease. The menace of diphtheria can eliminated. Lives can be saved and offering prevented. Ask your family >hysician to give your children this irotection by immunizing them against diphtheria.

Rob­ inson. formerly assistant at Metro­ politan church here, is now the pas­ tor, three years ago, after more than 40 years in the ministry. Dr. Crews always took a deep in­ terest in the courts of the church, be­ ing president of the Hamilton Confer­ ence in 1914, a member of the Meth­ odist Mission Board, a member of several general conference* and a member until his death of the Board of Governors of Alma College, St. Thomas.

John upon whatsoever things are I roe. hon­ est. just, lovely and of good report. He is to follow the example and instruc­ tion of the Apostles. He-is to be con­ tent with his lot. whether it be one of plenty or privation. For human nature of itself this is an impossible task. We have here an ideal beyond our power to achieve But Paul not only set forth the Christian ideal, he also revealed the secret of attainment. He stated the scrcct thus: “1 can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Paul was not like some of our modern religious teachers who arc adept at presenting the ideal and then fail to present the means of successful realization. He exalted Jesus Christ as the source of the needed grace and strength. Without Jesus we are doom­ ed to despair as we struggle towards the goal of Christian character. In vital relationship to Him, all things are possible. Napoleon once said: "'Im­ possible* is bad English.” It is certain­ ly bad Christianity for the believer. Faith in Jesus Christ is a faith which “Laughs at impossibilities, and cries, 'It shall be done.'" HYMN “O for a faith that will not shrink. Though pressed by every Joel hat will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe." The public and continuation school was re-opend last week, having been closed foe two weeks owing to the measle epidemic.

Fla Bars *£23c COLOR in your Range to match your kitchenBy Charlotte M. Braeme Lady Hutton’s Paul Fulton, as be styled himself, rejoiced to hear all this. He saw his way clearly now; and once Squire of Grcnholme, husband of the fashionable widow, and near • neighbor of the young earl, he should attain the sum­ mit of his ambition. There came to him no solemn warn­ ing; he never thought of this life as of a dream from which he must some day awaken; of this world as of a scene that must pass away. His god was mammon, and he served it right well. As time wore on the' fears that had slightly disturbed him passed away. No one recognized him. He met one of his old companions, who looked in his face and knew him not. Tie felt safe; there was no one living who could connect the fashionable man of the world, Paul Fulton, with the con­ vict, Stephen Hurst. He grew proud of his respectability, and wondered how he could ever have been so blind and foolish as to fall into' the depths of disgrace. He was now scrupulously honesty and upright in all his dealings, hospitable, gay, generous, and univers­ ally popular. He would rather have died any death than have undergone the shame of having his former career made known. He placed an almost absurd value on the esteem of his fel­ low men. It was at his club that Bertie Carl- yon made the acquaintance of Mr. Fulton. They became friends in .some degree, although there was little in common between them: Bertie was gifted, and, what was more rare, he was industrious. His works were eagerly read by the thoughtful men of the day. He was courted alike by wise men and beautiful women; for that Paul Fulton sought him. He was a rising man, whom to know was a great honor. So they dined together occasionally, met at their club, and dis­ cussed passing events, all unconscious of the tragic link that bound them, brom Bertie Carlyon, as front Lady Grahame, Paul Fulton heard warm praise of the young lord's wife. He thought much of his neighbors who were to be when he was Squire of Grcnholme. He was, in his indolent, lazy way, anxious to sec the beautiful young countcss, of whom all the world spoke, and spoke well. To Mr. Ful­ ton Bertie confided his intense desire of entering into parliamentary life. “The borough of Oulston returns one member,’’ said Mr. Fulton, “and from all the rumors floating now. I should imagine the country to be on the eve of a general election. I had some thoughts of offering myself as a candidate; but I tell you what. Mr. Carlyon, introduce m. to your friend Lord Bayncham, and we will try if you can not be returned as the Liberal member for Oulston. I have some in­ fluence there, you know." Bertie Carlyon grew intimate with, and even liked, the gay, good humored man who seemed so anxious to further his interest. CHAPTER XXII Under the blue Italian skies where myrtles and citrons bloom, by the fair German Rhine, by the snow-clad mountains of Switzerland, and on the sunny plains of beautiful France, Lord Bayneham lingered with his young wife. He watched the pale sweet face brighten gradually. He never suspect­ ed any mental suffering, and would have laughed at the idea. He believed his wife to be suffering from the ef­ fects of over-exertion and too much excitement. Their winter at Bayne­ ham had been a brilliant one, and she had been a marvelous hostess. He blamed himself for not having sooner perceived her fatigue and languor; but, in his own quiet, gentle way, he was doing his best to atone for it. He would not allow any fuss or ceremony. The countess had wished her daugh­ ter-in-law to be present at the diff­ erent courts and to mingle in the diplomatic circles of each capital they visited; but Lord Bayneham allowed none of this. She had seen enough, he declared, of the world of fashion, and now she should have quiet, and sec something of the grandeur and beauties of nature. Under the influence of solemn and beautiful scenery, and of gentle, loving care, which left her no time for morbid thought, Hilda gradually recovered her health. She never forgot her secret; it was before her every hour of the day and night; but its weight had grown less. The grand, solemn beauty of nature gave her other though*. Everything did not begin and end in this world. She herself had done no wrong, and she knew not why this mysterious burden of sorrow had been laid upon her. High and Infinite wisdom controlled every vent of her ife, and she found comfort in resigna­ tion.

They spent Christ­ mas in Florence, and the spring brought them home. Private letters and public papers brought to Lord Bayneham the news of a general elec­ tion, and he knew then that his place was in England. They went at once to London, where the young carl found the leaders of his party anxiously awaiting him. New combinations were forming, great events loomed in tthe distance, and Lord Bayneham was asked if he had any influence in Oulston; if so, let him use jt for the return of a Liberal member. He inquired, somewhat care- "ssl>t ,hcre *»» any candidate in the field, and he became all fire and interest when he heard that the man they were anxious to secure was no other than the great political righter. his dearest and best friend, Albert Carlyon. "You may consider the election as good as made," he said to his chief. "1 shall go down to Bayncham and take Carlyon with me. There will be but little opposition." When that interview was ended Lord Bayncham rushed off in search of Bertie. He found him busily engaged at the office, and heartily glad to sec him. ..“WeT-n,?y h?pc Bayneham and Miss Earle will now find their way to London," said Bertie; "they have been at Cowes, I understand, since Christ­ inas.'’ "Dine with us to-morrow," said Lord Bayneham, "and you will sec them both. They will be in town this even­ ing. Now, Bertie, let us discuss busi- TA ,'Vhat ’’ ,his abou‘ the borough of Oulston? You know you may safely reckon on my assistance." Bertie then told his friend how anxious he was to begin his Parlia­ mentary career. “I feel that my vocation is essenti­ ally a political one," he said. "I can served my country honestly and well. Mr. Fulton, thtc new man who has purchased Squire Grenholmc's prop­ erty, has promised to do all he can; and I think he has every chance of success." "I am sure of it," said Lord Baync­ ham, enthusiastically. "1 tell you what, Bertie, when the election comes off we will all go down to Bayneham together, and I will ask this friend of yours to join us : Lady Hilda and Misv Earle shall canvass for us. You will come in with a wonderful major­ ity. You shall see if I am not a true prophet." "You are a true friend," said Bertie, gratefully. “I should like to introduce Mr. Fulton to you. Shall you be at the club this evening?" "I will be there just for that purpose, even if 1 can not remain,” replied his “•end. “You will come to-morrow, Bertie?" Trying to conceal his delight, Bertie promised, and Lord Bayneham went away. Evening brought the countess and Barbara; the latter radiant in health and spirits. They were delighted at he change in Hilda. She had grown more beautiful during the year of secret sorrow, and thought gave fresh ovelmess to her face, and the dark violet eyes wore a new expression. She ^looked taller and more matronly, and in all England one could not have found a more perfect type of a young English wife. "I did not think time could have added a charm, Hilda," said Barbara Earle; "but it has managed to do so. Change of air and scene has improved you wonderfully." Lady Bayncham gazed with proud pleasure at her son's wife. Even her critical eye could not see one fault or one cause for remark They were a pleasant family party, and Lord Bayneham left them after dinner to go round to his club. Bertie introduced Mr. Fulton to him; and Lord Bayne- ham, who liked all pleasant things, was struck by his gay, easy, graceful manner, and his flow of conversation. . “Lh*re n0‘ many minutes this even­ ing, he said. "Perhaps, Mr. Fulton, ycxi will favor me witih a call some ime to-morrow; then we can discuss the Oulston business at our leisure." That being settled, Lord Bayneham eturned home. The ladies were pleas- d to hear of Bertie's prospects, for he handsome young secretary was a avontc with all. Barbara Earle made no remark; but her face flushed and er eyes shone brightly. She looked erenly fair and calm. That evening, when she stood alone in her room, she took from a little pearl casket a small golden apple and touched it with her lips as though it were something liv­ ing, smiling as she did so at her own pleasant thoughts. "I am always coming across old friends," said Lord Bayneham to Hilda, the day following. “I met your old admirer. Captain Massey, this morn­ ing; he is leaving England in the autumn, and will dine with u* to-day." It was a party of old friends who met that evening in Grosvenor Square. Lady Bayneham professed herself de­ lighted to sec Bertie. Barbara said little; her greeting was kind and gentle; but that did not satisfy the handsome secretary. Perhaps Captain Massey was less at his case than some of the others. He had dearly loved Lady Hutton's ward, and her marriage with Lord Bayneham had been a bitter blow to him. Not that he thought himself worthy of her, or that she ever gave him any encouragement. .He lov­ ed her hopelessly and humbly. There were times when he raved against fortune and fate, wishing he were anything but a brave captain, with nothing but an honorable name to recommend him. After Hilda’s mar- raige he left London, and had just returned to make arrangements for leaving England on a mission of some RED GREEN BLUE NOW you can harmonize your Range with your kitchen color scheme.

Then he could take the picture into exile with him. and think of it when he felt dull and lonely. So he yielded, and went to dinner, looking -with sad eyes upon the one face that had been all the world to him. She welcomed him warmly and kindly, her little white hands outstretched to mcet-him. There was no thought of love or lover, in that pure, guiless heart. She had never known that he cared for her. And this man, who had loved the fair young girl so deeply and hope­ lessly, saw what others had never noticed.

He saw something of constraint in the smiles that had once seemed ever to linger around her lips. He noticed that when she was neither speaking nor listening an expression of deep thoughtfulness came over her, and then Captain Massey said to himself that the woman he loved cither had a secret or was not happy, he could not tell which.

"Would you really do that?” he LECTR ICXa aid, his face flushing with uncontroD- ble emotion; "that would mean a great deal, coming from you." "You know my belief," said Miss Earle; "talent and perseverance must win—no combination of circumstances can resist them. You have it in you to persevere and win, despite all ob­ stacles." "Thanks to yOu, Barbara," he re­ plied; "you aroused me from a boy”s folly to a man’s deeds, and I shall owe all to you. I wonder if you will ever honor me by wearing that little golden apple you deigned to accept?" he add­ ed. smilingly. “It was made expressly to be worn amongst those mysterious affairs which ladies call 'charms' and suspend to their chains."Miss Earle made no reply, and Bertie was forced to be content with the concessions already made.

"I knew that, little wife, many years ago." said Lord Bayneham; "I should like to know if Barbara cares for him.” They said no more; but all that night there lay on lady Hilda's mind a weight of dread, as of some coming heavy evil which she could not avert; and once in her sleep she sprung up wildly, crying. “Clade, do not go to Bayneham. 1 .have dreamed that 1 lay dead there.” CHAPTER XXIII Will you go with us, Claude?" ask- the Moffat was the first BLUE STAR GAS RANGE Built in Canada MO F FAT S * B L U E 5 TA Pw A Gas Kanyes ---------FOR SALE BY--------- DOMINION NATURAL GAS CO.

"I should be delighted.” but I have a gentleman—Mr. Fulton—coming on rather important business; 1 must tiherefore defer the pleasure." For the second time Lady Hilda heard that name uttered before her, and did not remember it. The carriage drove off and she sat serene and smil­ ing by Lady Bayneham's side. They saw a tall handsome man go up the broad flight of steps, but no warning came to Hilda, no impulse or instinct told her that he was the man whose cruelty had doomed her mother io death. "I am glad you are come, Mr. Ful­ ton," said Lord Bayneham, court­eously; ” we will go into the library, as we shall require pens and paper for our calculations." The visitor followed his young hast. Was it chance that directed Lord- Bayneham there? The library was a grand apartment; its chief ornament was a magnificent picture hanging over the manted-pice. It was the |>ort- rait of Lady Hutton's ward, taken by the celebrated artist. Mr. Seaton, and valued by Lord Bayneham above all other treasuers. The summer sun­ beams fell slanting upon it. lighting the golden hair and beautiful face with a bright radiance. It was a face to dream of. so pure, so fair, and lovely. The violet eyes and sweet lips smiled at you; the tender, innocent heart, the guileless loving nature, sweetness, con- stacy and truth, were imprinted on every feature. The sunbeam was not brighter than the shine of the rippling ■olden hair.As Mr. Fulton entered the library his eyes fell upon the picture, and it startled him so much that he uttered a low cry. He went up and stood before it. He asked himself was he dreaming or awake. The room. Lord Bayneham, and the present faded from him: he stood in Brynmar woods, under the cool shade of the green trees, the lovely face blushed at his passionate words, the fair young head drooped beneath his gaxe. He was there wooing Magdalen Hurst in the opening of her fair youth and beauty. It was but for a moment, and something dimmed his eyes that had long been dry. He started; what, was he. Paul Fulton, sentimental?—going to cry because a beautiful picture re­ sembled his dead wife, making a simpleton of himself for a painted face? ..."You admire that painting. said Lord Bayneham; "it. is considered an exquisite gem of art." "I—I—once knew some one whose face resembled this," stammered the visitor."Indeed I" said Lord Bayneham quietly; "she must have been very beautiful, then.” "She was" replied Mr. Fulton; and then there came across him a vision of his dead wife's face as he had seen it last, white and worn with the misery and anguish of pain, deeper than death. “That is my wife’s portrait. said Lord Bayneham. “ The resemblance is accidental, said Mr. Fulton, "but it is certainly very strong; yet the person of whom I speak was not a lady." The false, mean words did not blister his false, smiling lips. In all that consitutes a perfect lady, his dead wife, Magdalen Hurst, was certainly one."Shall we proceed to business? asked Lord Bayneham. hastily. He was beginning to feel somewhat annoyed at this handsome stranger, who stood so admiringly before his wife's port­ rait; besides he did not like to hear that thecc had ever been another face like hers—it was peerless in his eves. They entered warmly’ into their ar­ rangements. and Lord Bayneham's passing annoyance soon wore off. There was no resisting the hand­ some face and gay. easy temper. Paul Fulton knew how to charm, and he soon won the liking of the noble, un­ suspicious earL He accepted with con­ cealed delight the invitation to Bayne­ ham Castle; it was the very thing that, in his heart, he had longed for, but never hoped to gain. "I am sorry that the ladies arc not at home,” said Lord Bayneham, "but you will see them in Bayneham. We htink of going to-morrow or the day afterward. Woul it be quite convenient for you to follow us in say—a week from now? Mr. Carlyon comes then." Mr. Fulton assumed an air of pro­ found thought, which in a few minutes gave way to a bright smile. “It would suit him admirably." he said. " as he had business in Wales afterward." He remained with Lord Bayneham foe lunch, and there was no more said about business, but he proved himself to be one of the most amusing men the young lord ever re­ membered to have met. His anecdotes were inexhaustible, and his rich fund of wit and humor kept Lord Bayne­ ham constantly amused and delighted “You have seen plenty of the world. Mr. Fulton," he remarked. “Yes,” said his visitor; "I have seen what is called life in most of its phases, and some of them strange ones." They parted mutually pleased, and when Lady Bayneham and Hilda re- turned they found the earl in high spiritrover his late guest . "You must know him, mother.” he said; "you are sure to like him. and I am glad he is going to Bayneham. No fear of feeling dull in his companx. 1 never saw any one with such a flow s the name?” asked the | countess, rather surprised at her son’s enthusiasm. "Fulton!" she continued; "why. Hilda, that must be the gentle­ man lady Grahame was speaking of. He has purchased the Grenholmc property." " The same," replied Lord Bayne­ ham; "and if ever he comes to the Hall wc shall have a pleasant neigh­ bor.” "Rumor says he is Lady Grahame’s shadow," said Barbara Earle; “it is •aqqioscd to be a complete and perfect love story." "And a capital match, too,” said l-ord Bayneham; "Lady Grahame is a pleasant, sensible woman." Barbara smiled, thinking, perhaps her cousin was easily satisfied. "He is very wealthy. 1 hear.** con­ tinued lady Bayneham; "but 1 ticvcr . heard of any Fultons. He may be a I very nice man; but. my dear Claude.1 who is he?" "I know nothing of his pedigree." said Lord Bayneham, with a smile al his mother’s earnest manner. "He is evidently a gentleman, and he associ­ ates with gentlemen. He has made his own fortune I believe." "Indeed!" said the countcss, her in­ terest in him ceasing at once. He might be handsome, polished and wealthy, lady Grahame's lover and her son’s friend, but he had no con­ nections; she would be bland and ami­ able toward him, but real interest in him she could feel none. Mr. Fulton's heart beat high with hope as he left I .ord Bayneham's mansion in Grosvenor Square. He left sure that he had favorably impressed the young carl, and was half intoxi­ cated with his own success. No sus­ picion. or even thought, crossed his mind with regard to the picture. Once before, in a picture shop, he had seen a very beautiful engraving, and the face of the girl in it had reminded him of Magdalen, and as he went along the crowded sunlit streets he thought of her. "It is almost a pity,” he said to him self, “that she was a peasant; among these grand ladies I sec no face so beautiful, no figure so graceful, as hers. I will make this a day of suc­ cesses,” he thought; "I will sec Lady Grahame and ask her at once if she will be my wife." He went direct to the widow’s house, and in answer to his inquiries, was told that Lady Grahame was at home and alone. For once the indefatig­ able companion was off guard, and l.ady Grahame was taken at a disad­ vantage. "1 have been spending a very pleas­ ant morning," said Mr. Fulton, "with jour friend. Lord Bayneham. I find mm all you described; a most interest­ ing companion." This preamble gave the lady time to recover herself. “1 have something very serious to say to you this morning. Lady Gra­ hame," continued Mr. Fulton; “1 have been summoning courage for the task." "Is it something very difficult or painful, then?” she asked, with a smile. ” it is at once the most pleasing, yet the most difficult task of my life,” he replied; "my own unworthincss ren­ ders is difficult. Lady Grahame, you can understand that the deepest feel­ ing is Icastcd expressed by rhapsody. In straightforward, honest words, may I ask you the question upon which the happiness of my whole life depends —will you be my wife?” A genuine blush covered the comely face; site had long known the question was coming, but just at that moment was not prepared to receive it. "That is an important question.” she said, “and requires consideration." "You do not at once dismiss it as an impossibilty,” said Paul Fulton; "1 shall thetffore venture to hope. If you will intrust me with the happiness of your life, you shall never repent the trust. Tell me, may I venture to hope, that in some future time 1 may receive a more favorable answer?" ’’It is not impossible,” replied the fair widow, coqucttishly. It was not very impassioned wooing. Just a remembrance crossed his mind of the time when he made love under the trees of Brynmar woods; of the lovely young face that had changed with his every word; of the soft, sweet [ lips, the half whispered., taring words. This wooing in a May Fair drawing- , room was a very different matter. He ; threw as much rapture as possible into ' his reply to Lady Grahame's last , words, then adroitly branched off into other subjects. "Mr. Fulton." said Lady Grahame, "of course you know I am a widow, have you ever been married?" Taken by surprise he had no time to think what answer would be safest. “No," he replied, boldly; "I have asked this morning what I never asked I before.” ”1 am glad,” she replied. “I should not like to think you were a widower; there is something very prosiac in the idea.” M r. Fulton had no sooner uttered the words than he repented them. As a rule, he avoided useless untruths. He found them apt to rise and confront him awkwardly. From mere policy he told the truth when ever he found it possible. For a few minutes he al­ most feared he had acted unwisely; but reflection reassured him. Who knew anything of his marriage? There was no possible contingency which could know anything of Magdalen Hurst. He threw off the momentary depression, and talked so gayly and agreeably, that l.ady Grahame grew more charmed than ever, and almost wished she had given a more favorable reply al once. Paul Fulton made great progress that morning in his love making, yet he gathered some information that slightly disconcerted him. Lady Gra­ hame had two trustees or guardians under her husband's will, who had the general superintendence of her affairs, and who tn the event of her second marriage would make all arrangements as to settlements. As far as money went he knew there could be no objec­ tion raised to him. but if inquiries should be made as to his family, his pedigree, his connections and ante­ cedents, how should he meet them? He might invent one form of state­ ment and adhere to it; but what if there should be and the ' * love making, yet information that truth discovered? He serious to think of. > fear, or doubts could cr the brilliant flow of (hrysler62 NEW LOWER PRICES XI35O AND UPWARDS ONLY CHRYSLER ENGINEERING CAN GIVE YOU SUCH GREAT FEATURES -No OTHER car, in its particular price range of $1350 to $1600, haa been able to come within leagues of what the Great “62** offers in perform­ ance, in quality, in style and in value.

Traffic now goes west on the 9th concession, which runs through the village. the charter, the former having secured the confidence of the promoters, who assure the representatives they mean to establish a manufacturing business which will greatly build up the district. It is reported that a.rumor it afloat in Buffalo to the effect that a large steel mill is to be built in Port Burwell. Should this be correct, unquestionably the promoters of this company should receive every consideration at the hands of the federal government. Such in­ dustry should not be looked upon light­ ly- ' It has been learned just recently that the new proposal is really only carrying out the old plans which were halted by the loss of life of the head promoter, who was drowned, the G.T.R. being the former applicant for charter and which has been permitted to lapse. The above information has been secured from old residents of the district and village who aided materi­ ally in securing the T.L.E. & I’. When St. Thomas says “it is against the inter­ est of our neighbors’ vested rights in the L. & P.S.R. to build another line into the City of London" let them pause to consider the fact that the laboring class do not share the views of the L. & P.S.R. promoters, and arc anxious to see the charter granted. As a result of utterances of the Timcs-Journal of St. Thomas considerable trade is being directed to Tillsonburg and many of their subscriptions have been cancelled. Th. Open Air Meeting for Ton Weeks In Holiday Season At the close of Sunday evening ser­ vice, Pastor A. J.

It was under chultz had something , pose but no one knew the nature of the proposal until after the day’s services. He proposed dosing the churches for the summer months and leasing the beautiful Iroquois Park of Port Bur­ well for ten Sundays* colossal open-air meetings.

The view of the lake and the advantage of the delightful breezes and its extensive beaches have made Iroquois Park a favorite among report­ ers of Western Ontario and even some of the Slates. It also has some of the best bathing beaches on the Lake. However, while this natural park has such favorable bathing, rowing, fishing, baseball and other attractive features for six days in the week, Mr. Schultz felt strongly convicted while abroad the past winter, to make use of this lakeside resort as a great Sunday camp meeting ground, for the vacation months of July. /\ugust and a part of September.

LAW Brock Street BROWN’S TRANSPORT Daily Service Between Tillaonburg and London H. BROWN Tillaonburg Phon. 237 London, Metcalf. 2S23 Th. London-Port Burw.ll Railway Question With the advent of the new London- Port Burwell Railway proposal, came the opening of the campaign of criti­ cism directed against the proposal and Port Burwell in particular by the St. Thomasbnd London press. For a num­ ber of years there has existed, a spirit of jealousy in London and Port Stan­ ley and St. Thomas, and much unmerit­ ed and damaging publicity has been aimed at the sister port of Port Bur­ well. And now with the proposal lie- fore the Federal House the London representative, Mr. White, is using every means at his disposal to overrule the granting of the charter, even though it has been repeatedly pointed out that the L. & P. S. R. is not able to handle traffic -for this company on a paying basis. Both of these prominent harbors are situated on the north shore of Lake Erie in Elgin County, and it is conceded by mariner* that Port Burwell harbor is a first-class harbor and even superior to that of Port Stanley. The entrance... I othe former harbor is over two hun-' o| dred feet in width with sufficient water for one half mile up stream for deep draft vessels, and only one side of the harbor in active use at the present time, the west side being practically unused. This village is asking for no expen­ sive bridge construction such as jack­ knife. or other class of bridges. This opposition on the part of London, St. Thomas and Port Stanley is strongly resented by the local citizens, as are also the various misrepresentations. Where is the proposed coking plant that was so strongly talked of lor Port Stanley less than two years ago. and why were the much talked of plans not carried out? At present the chief op­ position offered by these places to this new undertaking appears to be its pos­ sible monopoly of freight and traffic from the L. & P.-S. R. In the first place St. Thomas it is reported is not peculairly interested to the extent of one dollar, in ’ _ L. 2. 2. 2. "2 22—.. what arc the grounds for this opposi­ tion? Some years ago St. Thomas promoted the P. M. R. R. which was constructed along the south side of the old Canada Southern R. R. running for miles parallel to the latter line, and only separated by a wire fence. Does this appeal to the St. Thomas citizens as an injustice to the latter-line? The proposed London-Port. Burwell R.R.is situated at least twelve C12) miles from any depot ’along the L. & P. S. R. and especially as the new company only proposes establishing two (2) depots between London* and Port Burwell so where is the monopoly or opposition. The following information will be of interest to many. " 1. Port Burwell being a component part of the Township of Bayhdm when it was a part of the County of Middle­ sex was taxed, by that county to build a railway from Port Stanley to London. 2. The Township of Bayham con­ tributed pro rata with the County of Elgin to pay their share of $100,000 as a bonus for the Canada Southern R. R. which company never laid a tie in the Township of Bayham, thus affording no benefit whatever. 3. In 1888 the ratepayers of the Township of Bayham in order to ex­ tend a railway from Port Burwell to Tillsonburg through the township granted a bonus of $35,000 toward the construction of the T. L. E. & P. R And now when a company proposes to build a road and establish a manufac­ turing business to supply the work necessary for the road, opposition from every direction is aimed at the pro­ posal,'suggesting that the company will monopolize traffic where there is no such intention. This company is asking no Govern­ ment or other assistance from the com­ munity it passes through and is not the expense these former ventures have been, forming as it does a more direct route for which it has made all arrange­ ments. As an evidence of good faiffi the company has offered to erect an $800,- 000 coking plant before proceeding with the railway construction. If the C.P.R. could haul coal and other freight over their sixty-milc route to London, how much would the new company gain through operating a private line ovrr the npre direct route of 32 mHcs? Economically, business people in gen­ eral can understand the desire on the [•art of the new company for a private ine. Then, too. they arc bringing an immense manufacturing concern to the shores of Canada and if Port Burwell harbor is worth the immense expendi­ tures that have been made as a result of one regular boat service, how much more revenue would be secured by tbc Dominion Customs as a result of added traffic. From the fiscal years of 1913- 1918 over one million dollars in revenue was collected at this port as well as the Urge quantity of freight which passes through in bond annually. As the promoter of the old T. L. E. & P. R., Mr. John Teal of Tillsonburg is interested in the new venture and is lending his invaluable assistance to­ ward securing the charter, and one can­ not help feeling confident that some attention will be given to him.

Perch Fishing The season for perch fishing from the piers has opened, but so far the catches have been small. During the past few years the seasons have been shorter and the catches smaller than in previous years. It is reported that the Oxford Bat­ talion will again camp in this phcc but this year the camp is to be earlier in the season. A part of the members of the Port Arthur Const.* Co., have arrived, hav­ ing preceded the equipment which is ex-ected to arrive during the week. Talented Vocalist.

The Courtland Women’s Institute went in a large body and met with the Goshen Women's Institute on Tuesday May 15. to listen to the lady speaker, Miss Powell of Whitby. Her address was very clear and interesting, and was enjoyed by the large crowd of Institute workers, she spoke of the growth of the work of the Institute in Ontario, and that they were doing a greater work than any other society. She also spoke of the help it is for the girl* to go to Guelph college, it was good to help them make better housewives and fitted for different work in life that girls had to meet. She also gave a short talk on the In­ stitute in the Northwest, where water was very scarce for a great many mile* around, and although there were only a few members they persevered and got a well down in their community that overflowed, and there was water for all that came there for it. This was only one good fact out of many told by the speaker that women of the Institute were doing in different places. She also thought that it would cncourg- agc the weaker Institutes in the west if some of the older and stronger ones would get in touch with them and send a post .card or note of friendship, or even a handkerchief shower, and make them feed they were in touch with the Ontario people. She said to help tthe day’s work right in our own home was to start the day right, meet each other with a cheery good morning and a smile, and not start each one away to their different day's work with a frown; be sure to start the day right and our work and those wc arc with or meet will be the better for our presence. Then speaking of books, we read of the different thought* we got, and the different lesson wc learned, no matter what kind, such as farming, gardening, and that one could judge the kind of person by the books he chose to read she thought a subject for a debate was books on travel, for travelling was a good education. Also labor if one works with gladness and realized what labor meant to each and everyone. It is through labor that everything is furnished for our use.

The startling story of modern crime and it* legal accomplice* reveal* “a national peril, which is growing graver every hour and which can only be met by an awakened and organized public opinion providing some prompt and heroic remedy.” “We *ee all around u* the professional burglar, thug, mur­ derer. bandit and common thief, oper­ ating by the atest and most modern methods. . . .
