The proceedings of the evening were concrete evidence of the ef- forts being put forward by Kiwan- is in their endeavors to foster a closer fellowship between the peo- ple of the rural and urban dis- tricts, and the interest taken by the Kiwanians in the progress of agriculture. During the evening a long list of prizes were presented to the boys and girls who were winners at the Oshawa Junior Fair this year, the Club offering these prizes in support of the fair. A feature of the program were the many musical selections giv- en by the Misses Niddery, three oung ladies from Myrtle, who de- is trio of musicians, who were also proved to be excellent vocal- ists, gave many numbers and were repeatedly encored. on Mr. Buchanan, at the outset of his address, spoke of the occa- sion as a "very happy one," prov- ing as it does the interest shown by service clubs all 'over the coun. try in the rural districts and the people who are engaged in agri- culture. Speaking on the sybject of the Ontario Agricultural College Mr. Buchanan said, "I come from a place where there is no indication of any depression. At the present time we have more students than we have ever had, more people working for us than ever we had. That is a little hard to explain but we have 228 freshmen this year and 212 girls in their first year, while we have a total of very nearly 800 students." As Mr. Buchanan expressed it the aim of the Agricultural Col- lege 'is to maintain a balance be- tween practical and scientific things and to show the practical relationship between things sci- entific and the farm." He told his hearers that twen- ty-five per cent of this year's freshmen are from the towns and cities, classing this fact as "rath- er strange," while he explained the general courses unde en with a view to training the grad- uate to take his position as a lead- er in the community. "We try to carry out a balanced course," said the speaker, "to produce an edu- cated man having practical knowl. edge, scientific knowledge and cul- tural knowledge * n Work Speaking of the investigational work carried out at the College he gave, as an instance, the fact that he himself, with others was engaged some fifty years ago in the investigation of different vari. eties of barley in order to ascer- tain the most suitable for Canada, "A new strain was originated from a single seed in 1903, and now about ninety per cent of the barley grown in Ontario is from that. one single seed.

E. O'Neill and later adjourned to the assigned class rooms to register, Motor mechanics for men and sewing and dressmaking for the women appeared to be the most popular courses, although there was a large registration list in stenography.

MEAL ENDS RIOT CR) London, Oct. 7.--A crowd of unemployed using sticks, stones and firecrackers battled with mounted police in front of the British Museum in the heart of London yesterday. Unable to resist the relent- less Siarging of the horses at gallop clubbings by po- ce batons, the crowd, scream- ing, finally marched to Hyde Park, where it was served a Jo meal and went home, 5 Bi Fire Chief Well Pleased With Fire Drill in the Local Schools Fire Chief W. R. Elliott today completed his visits to the city's schools where he has been speak- ing to the pupils and where Col. B. J. McCormick and J. E. Ritchie of the Fire Marshal's Department have accompanied him. Chief Elliott saw the majority of the schools carry out "Fire Drill," the schools visited today not being required to carry out this drill, owing to the rain, and expresses himself well pleased with the manner in which the drill was carried out in all the schools, "There is room for improve- ment," said Chief Elliott, "this accounted for because it is till 'early in the term and there are many of the children who are not familiar with the drill yet. I know there will be a great im- provement very soon." ich ot sacs sd opera given to him by the and ers of all the flerent and also v his pleasure at the intelligent in- prizes offered by the Club were | announced following the' exhi-| WELFARE HOSTEL FOR UNEMPLOYED OPENS NEXT WEEK Lunch Room on Bond St. to Remain Open for Rest of This Week Ald. P. A. MacDonald, chair- man of the sub-committee of the City Council, named to make ar- rangements for the opening of a hostel for single men who are unemployed, was busy this morn- ing making the necessary ar- rangements for the free lunch room on Bond street, established by an organization of the unem- ployed, to continue its activities for the remainder of this week, As previously announced the funds which have made the free lunch room possible and which have spplied over 5,000 meals to single unemployed men since it opened its doors, have been get- ting very low for some time, with the result that, except for the prompt action of the city author- ities, the place would have final- ly closed its doors today, leaving the single unemployed men with absolutely no recognized measure of relief. Ald, MacDonald states that it is hoped to have all arrangenients compelted for the hostel at the corner of Burke and King streets to open its doors to single unem- ployed men on Monday next when this institution will be managed under similar conditions to those which prevailed during last win- ter, When the hostel opens the free lunch room will be closed, but in the meantime, it is an ab- solute necessity that the lunch room remains open, 1st prize on Pen of Poultry; 1st | the. ying of The Ewald. suttar, | drise ob of | ROSS MACKINNON HEADS CAMPAIGN | |Will Have Assistance of | Joint Committee of Three | Service Clubs | -- Ross Mackinnon, of the Oshawa { Rotary Club, has accepted the posi- | tion of chairman of the organiza- | tion which will take charge of the campaign = to raise funds for the Associated Welfare Societies.

Tne Crown Attorney, J. A.

K. Brown Gave Fascinating Lecture to Start Winter Series Several years ago the Toronto University Extension Department organized a branch in Oshawa. Each winter followng an interest- ing course of lectures on various subjects has been presented. These lectures have grown in 'favor to such an extent that when the course was resumed last evening the num- ber of men and women registering exceeded that of any previous open- ing night. Each season the pro- gramme varies. The one chosen for this includes for the first half of the season, five lectures by Professor E. K. Brown, of University College, Toronto, on various works of Eng- lish literature, Professor Brown chose as his first subject Henry Fielding's masterpiece "Tom Jones." One listening to the speaker was impressed at once with his apparent thorough unerstanding of his sub- ject and with his ability to impart that knowledge in a clear forceful and entertaining manner, Briefly, but cleverly he drew attention first to the technique of this novel, writ- ten in 1749, techniquely it had no precedent in England, The author's neat handling of the Blot. his elimination of any super- uous characters, his clever illus- trations of the general idea placed the book on a very high plane. No dull page is to be found in the engthy work comprising in all twelve hundred pages, said Prof. rown, The theme follows nature faith- fully, making of common things and characters in life word pictures of matchless beauty and force, Jointed out speaker, Fielding employ both cr oi | dramatic style' in writing, while a current of pure humour runs through the en- tire work .
