Special Tickets Come to the supper and concert in $1.00 â€" ^Tickets can be procured at the St. John's United Church on Friday An interesting event in regard to this district as a whole and to Mrs Walter Poole of Maxwell in particu- lar, is the choosing of her name on the weekly "Mystery Tune Contest," given by the Robin Hood Flour MUls. Her name was drawn last Thursday night on the regular broad- cast, and she will attempt to name the mystery tune played by H. M. Canadian Genadier Guards' band from Montreal.. If she guesses the name of the tune correctly she will receive a cash prize of $100 and an Omega wrist watch. Mr. Herb Poole of Max- well sold the flour to Mrs. Poole and he will receive a cash prize of $25 whether or not the tune is named correctly. The program commences on the CBC network at 8.30 p.m. and can be heard locally over CBL, To- ronto. Mrs. Poole is to be at the store af her brother-in-law, Mr. Herb Poole, and a direct wire will be con- nected with Montreal over which she will give her answer and the conver- sation recorded. This is the first time that a name has been selected from eastern Canada, in the previous i programs the, names have all been from the West. Tufie in to CBL at 8.30 p.m. Thurs- day night, Dec. 21, and find whether or not Mrs. Poole can name the tune. We wish her the best of success in her chance for a little ready cash and a handsome prize. A CooUapture 1^ A few moments of extra excite- ment occurred in town early Monday afternoon when a team of horse. Z: t^.'';- ^-''^'^^kof Rock Mills took French leave from the United church shed and left on their own. They headed west along Spring street, turned right at the corner and on rounding the curve on the Durham road one of the horses fell when it nit the slippery pavement. This failed to dampen their ardor and they kept on going, crossing the main comer at a fast clip, headed for home. Mr. Clark at the time was just coming from a stable on CoUing- wood and attempted to stop the team but they would have travelled right over him if he hand not moved at the last minute. His son. Bob, had Dr. Milne's team out for exercise and was in front of Mr. M. Wilson's residence when he saw the team and wagon coming toward him. He coolly turned the team and buggy and as the runaway reached him they were forced to the side of the roadway and as he held the bridle of one of his own team, Bob reached for "he bridle of the off horse and stopped their mad careening. One wheel on the wagon was destroyed, but no other damage resulted. The stopping of that runaway was one of the coolest actions we have seen for some time. W.

Arrived In England The first contingent of Canadian soldiers arrived in England on Sun- day, December 17th, after s|ailing from Halifax on December 10th'. They had an uneventful voyage and were escorted across the Atlantic by destroyers and warships of the British navy. They will receive advanced training in England and in three or four months will likely be sent to France for active service. The Can- adians are being led by General .A. G. U McNaughton, a veteran of the Great War who distinguished himself in that conflict. So starts another glorious chapter in the annals of Canada's fighting sons. No doubt they will distinguish themselves, as the last Canadian army did in April 1915, when they stemmed the German advance to Ypres and suffered heavily from the poison gas which their foes used for the first time. May they all have a safe return home. Wednesday, December 13th, was the annual fowl day in Flesherton and was declared the most sucecssful we have yet had. About seven tons of fowl were offered to the buyers, who declared that most of it was of the very highest quality, and good prices were offered to the poultry raisers. Prices received were excel- lent and the special prizes offered by the Flesherton merchants were a special inducement that were apprec- iated by all Mr. T. Stewart Cooper acted as judge of the fowl and declar- ed that the chickens shown by Mr Wes Smith of Rock Mills were "the finest he had seen this fall.

MORE NEW LIBRARY BOOKS: DEPARTMENT FOR CHILDREN Struck on Head by Log (By our Rock Mills Corr.) Mr. Ed. Eeeley of Maxwell, who was trucking logs to the mill here, had the misfortune to receive a ser- ious injui-y. While unloading his truck, a log .slipped, striking him or the head and rendering him uncon- scious for a time. He was removed to the Markdale hospital for a couple of days. The latest repi^-t is that he is recovering nicely and was able to be removed to his home at Maxwell. Mr. Fo.-ster, the manager, has warned other truckers not to come into the .vard at night, as it is a dangerous practice unloading after dark.
