J. F. McCLINTOCK Port Perry - Ontario the big challenger and the little SH On Monday night, September 20th, about $5000 worth of cloth was stolen from W. H. Doubt's tailor shop. As usual theft was probably carried out by some person or persons with an auto. At time of writing, however, there is no clue as to tha thieves. Entrance was made through the rear window of the store, and the stock was almost almost entirely removed, perhaps a dozen webs of cloth being left. Linings and everything élse of the kind disappeared. . : About a couple of months aga Mr. Doubt lost a couple of webs of cloth, and new locks were put on the store. It becomes increasingly evident that some precaution should be taken to protect the public from these continued thefts. No store or building is safe. So far as the profes- sional burglar is concerned, the locks mean nothing to him. The door might almost as well be open, except for keeping . out petty thieved. - Other towns are finding it necessary to employ a .night watchman and it begins to look as though Port Perry should do the same. PORT PERRY FAIR Good Weather, Exhibits and Attendance Exhibitsudn cattle, horses, and poultry were good. In the tents, the showing was not as large as in former years. Mrs. Orr, who always made a' large number of entries, did not ex- hibit this year, and her absence made quite a difference in%he Ladies' Work. . There should have been more entries in the Public School exhibits. Many people do not seem to care to take the trouble to prepare exhibits for the Fair, and they let money considerations outweigh! their liking for the fun and stimulus of winning in the contést. One often hears the re- mark--/'I've got better stuff than that at home." Doubtless' it is quite true that better stuff is left at home than is taken to the Fair, but the public needs the inspiration of your suec- cess, and you gain much more than the money value of the of the prize, when you win out'in a contest in which there has been strong competition. The floral exhibits were very good. Each year this class grows more popular, and this has been one of the most pleas- ing features of the Fair. With the exception of the non-arrival of the aeroplane, (the explanation for which appears on the back page), the public were well satisfied. Apparently an aeroplane is Port Perry's Jonah, and it is likely that henceforth the at- tractions will be such as can be operated on the ground. The Baseball Tournament proved to be most .interesting, and the final game between Canninnton and Port Perry was a fine and exciting éxhibition of this popular sport. The games resulted as follows: First Game--Whitby vs. Cannington. Score 14 to 10 in 'favor of Cannington. - Second Game--Uxbridge vs. Port Perry. Score 18 to 2 in favor of Port Perry. . Third Game--Port Perry vs. Cannington. Score 2 to 1 in favor of Port Perry. These scores gave Port Perry first place, and Cannington second place. ; Our local players are to be congratulated on their excel- lent play. <x One part of the Fair is improving greatly--the exhibits by manufacturers. Beare Bros. had a Case tractor in opera- tion. McKee & Hood put on a demonstration with the Ford- son tractor; and Mr Jas. Boe had a fine exhibit of Delco light and power. There should be more af these exhibits as they add greatly to the value of the Fair. A little fl of excitement took place when one of the side shows was closed for gambling, and there was a pleasant surprise awaited those who saw the Wrestling match between chman. ~ A popular part of the day is the egnce:t in the Town Hall. This year a well balanced program was given. Percy and Albert David were the popular entertainers. Percy David is the best comedian we have had here for years. His pieces were new, given with originality and a discerning" sense of the humorous. His 'Swim, Swim"' was the hit of the evening. Albert David pleased the audience greatly with his sweet. .

Visiting Brethren Welcome P. Ingram, + Secretary The Hydroplane Accident It is reported that McCrae, the pilot whose hypdroplane was wrecked recently at Brooklin, is lying at the General Hospital with his back broken. . Souvenir hunting reached its limit in this 'case. Persons who had this craze developed to a marked degree, plus a shrewd eye to values, actually removed the gasoline and oil from the machine. Many important parts of the hydroplane have been taken away. One would have thought that public sympathy would have been sufficiently strong to have prevented people from taking what is not their own. Apparently the souvenir hunters have the same kind of morals th agpare supposed to be- long to hofse trading. Laymens' Council and Rural Church Convention The Laymen and women of Whitby District Methodist Chur¢hes are to take charge of two most important sessions of the Financial District Meeting, to be held in Brooklin Church on Thursday, Sept. 30, 1920.

SHORT Manacen HYDRO POWER The Hydro-Radial Power and Light Commission of Ontarie, held its annual meeting in Ham- ilton City Hall Thursday '16th. The large Ccuncil Chamber had not sufficient seating accom- modation for delegates who poured into Hamilton from the Ottawa Valley to Windsor. Te say the least it was a very 'en- thusiastic meeting. Pres. J. Lyon, Sec'y L. Han- nigan, Halcrow, M.P.P. for Hamilton, Mayor and three econ-. trollers from Toronto led. fhe discussion on live matters of in- terest dealt with. '"Bitter re- grets" re Ontario Govt's attitude on Hydo matters, and scat criticism of members, in newly formed Information Bureaw to Hydro, unanimously voiced By the delegates. When an expres- Fon of fonfidenes ii asked for n Sir. am Beck the assembiy cheered and in no mistaken manner indicated that Sir. Adam is the Moses of the people of this province in Hydro.
