It was a spirited contest, the Conservative having withstood the onslaught of Premier King and practically the whole Liberal Cabinet, while the progressive had the one and only Agnes MicPhail, who crossed swords with ex-Premier Drury, who also stunrped for the Liberal. Government works at Goder-ich harbour and docks were also a big factor against the Conservative, his former majority of about 700 in that town being changed to a Liberal majority of 250 in this contest.

FACTS ABOUT EYES By Dr. Ralph Alysworth Eye Specialist (Optometric) Trenton Resting the eyes will not prevent eyestrain if it is caused by an e of vision. It isn't work that hurts such eyes; it is their inability to properly focus the light that enters them. If you ask what will prevent such a condition, there is but one answer --glasses--made especially for the patient after a careful examination. Our service promises accuracy and satisfaction. (To be continued next Thursday) Did you hear about the Beantown Choir, at the Opera House, Colborne, Wednesday evening, September 21. They are good singers.
