GIBSON, Agent, Dryden Rural Problems Discussed FORT WILLIAM, Ont.-- Pioneers in enpire building was the term applied tc the Women's Institutes of this district, on sccount of the inspirational part they played in forming similar organizations in the old land, during the war and since that time, by Miss Emily Guest, of Toronto, who is rep- resenting the Institute's branch of the department of agriculture, at the seventh annual convention last week; Mrs M. S. Campbell, Dryden, presiding. Ninety-two accredited delegates registered at the opening session in Trinity Church. The afterncon program was largely taken up with re- ports of the branches, rural problems in education and an address by Miss Guest. In the evening addresses were heard from Dr C. N. Laurie, M.O.H., of Port Arthur, Dr F. A. Blatchford on Dental Health and F. H. Keefer, M.L.A., on the work of the W.I. as he had observed it. Rural Education The need of continuation work in the rural schools was emphasized by Mrs J. Hahn of Murillo, in a splendid address on "Some Problems in Rural Education." The expense of sending children away to school was a factor in urging for this need, but raore important was the fact that the children at a tender age in their lives were sent away from their home en- vironment. This, she claimed would Lring the demand for more Normal trained teachers in the rural sections. The man who makes a success of farming must have an education, the speaker maintained; anyone can be a grubber of the soil, but that is not enough, and she made a plea for better and broader educational facili- ties in the rural districts. The truancy act in rural districts should be more enforced, she claimed. Department Speaker Miss Guest of Toronto who repre- sented the superintendent of institutes at the convention, brought greetings from Geo. A. Putman, and a con- gratulatory message to the branches of Northwestern Ontario for their many phases of self-reliant work. She told cf the co-operation and the services rendered through the depratment to the branches. A survey of this section of the province found that this district rep- resented a territory as large as Eng- land and thai the branches here were an inspirational factor in the formation of English women's institutes, in which the speaker was interested during the war years. There are thirty-six hundred branches in England today and peers of the realm are taking an sctive interest in organizing institutes cn their estates. The work of the various standing. committees was emphasized by the speaker, who paid particular stress to the work along health, immigration and {household economic lines. Miss Guest gave valuable information along many branches of rural work in whieh the institutes are engaged. Mrs A. F. Cole of Port Arthur, tenderad a most cordial welcome to the visiting delegates and expressed a wish tliat the friendship formed throu' this convention would unite the memb- ers from various districts more closely in working toward the goal of their aims, desires and ambitions. She made an urgent plea for co-operation be-~ tween the nen and women, In reply Mrs J. L. Locking of Emo, voiced the appreciation of the visi for the expression of greetings and lined the value of the institute and the benefits derived from coming together in convention. 'Mrs M. MacGray was pianist for the the convention sessions and solos were heard from Mrs G. W. Barr and Mrs M. O. Robinson. Assembly singing Gilbert, Fort Frances. Evening Session The evening session presided over by Mrs Heenan featured health addresses by Dr Laurie and Dr Blatchford, with an exhoration to the institutes by F.H. Keefer, M.L.A., to continue the com- munity building in which they were en- gaged. Preventive medicine was the subject of the discourse by Dr Laurie. Good health, he said, is one of the main as- sets to a nation. If people lived cor- rectly, they should live long, happy and useful lives and preventative medicine was doing away with many of the dread epidemics of former days. Chelora, smsllpox and d 'htheria were almost a thing of the past throug the nsage of prevention. Following this address, a question was raised by a rural delegate as to the possibilities of dismissing a part-time medical officer of health. The municip- alities had to pay for services rendered by them but they could not be dismiss- {1 ed by the municipalities without the consent of the provincial board. This she maintained was a hardship and a discussion on the matter showed that in the province of Ontario there are "lonly eight full-time officers of health. Dantal Day Dr F. A. Blatchford gave a very in- structive address on the dental health survey under the provincial board of health i in co-operation with many assist ing organizations. The most prolific source of danger to health comes from infected teeth and}! it is estimated that 85 per cent of the children have bad teeth, Prevention is the new battle eroy of the army of health workers and he ad- vocated early attention to the teeth with systematic inspections. The sur- was an important feature of the session | N. which was presided over by Mrs M. J. in Ferguson to Appeal to Country on 'Govt. Control Policy TORONTO, October 19.--After hold- ing office for three years and ifcur months, the Ferguson Government has decided to risk an'appeal to the country on a policy of Government control of Liquor sales, coupled with local option. : The legislature was dissolved last night and a general election has been called for December 1st. Announcement was made from the Parliament Buildings that the resigna- tion of en W. F. Nickie had been ac- cepted and that Col. W. H. Price will succeed him in the post of Attorney General. It was also announced that Hon. J. D. Monteith, member for North Perth, would be sworn in as Provincial Treas.; succeeding Col. Price in that position. W. I". Filayson, Simcoe East, has already been sworn in as Minister of I.ands and Forests, and Hon. David Jamieson, Scuth Grey, as Minister without portfolio. Nickle's Resignation ; Mr Nickle's resignation was tender- ed because he declined to endorse the government liquor policy. Under date of Ooctober 15, Mr Nickle wrote to the Premier announc- ing his attitude. He holds that the Ontario Temperance Act has "econ: tributed substantially to the well-be- ing of the Province." _ He adds that in his judgment, "it is a mistake to again legalize in the Province the sale, for beverage purposes, of ardent spirits and intoxicating liquors." Mr Nickle continues: "If it were a matter of ex- pedience we might find a common path. We differ to sharply on prin- ciple for this." Sinclair Not 'Falking W .E. N. Sinclair, K.C., leader of the Provincial Liberal Part ty in the Legis-] lature, arrived in Toronto today. MM: Sinclair announced that he had noth: ing whatever to say regarding the political situation. "You cannot expect me to answer on a few hours notice a statement thai it has taken Mr Ferguson several months to prepare," he stated. "I have not read it, let Wiad have time to digest it." . PREMIER SEEKING ONLY A CAREFUL CONSIDERATION. TORONTO, Oct. 20.--FPremier Fergu- son will be content with any verdict the clectors of Ontario may prounounce at the polls on December 1st, if they will in the meantime consider the proposals of the Ontario Government's election manifesto, "in a quiet deliberate way, dealing with the matter as a condition and not as a theory," the Premier added. : "I have nothing to say about the comment made by a number of people because, apparently, they havent criticized in any vespech the grounds I've given in reaching my conclusion. 1 put before the public the general conditions as 1 see them, and am ask- ing for a careful discussion and con- sideration of the problem. "It dees noi, serve any good purpose to simply disclaim and shout--"Fergu- son is tied up with the wets." What Ferguson degives of the general public is to consider seriously this great question, which touches so closely the moral welfare of all manheod and wo- manhood of this Province, [. Liberal Leader's Analysis TORONTO, Oct. 19 "I find in it neither evidence of good Loy in the past nor assurance of good Gov- ernment for the future," states W. IL Liberal leader in Ontario, sued, giving his views statement of policy issued by Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, premier of Ontario. "I am confident," Mr Sinclair says, "that even mow, Liberals all over the province are arming them- selves to oppose the Fergusen policy with might and main. vey of the schools is showwing a great need for dental care among the children. A chart showing the cause of infec- tion and the care of the teeth was ably explained by the speaker. Community Building The work of the W.I. in building up the community and aiding in the social Life of the settlers especially in the more isolated districts was emphasized by F. H. Keefer, in an exhorative ad- dress. He had observed the excellent work in building of community halls in various sections which was a great source of benefit to the whole com- munity. Miss Kennedy, of the Mothers, Al- lowance board gave a sympatheti c talk on the value of the institute in the far corners of the district, citing cases where their work had 'been of para- mount value in her work. F. Wright led in community singing and rendered two delightful solos. Others contribut- ing were Mrs H. W. Airth and Mus MacGray. Banquet The Port Arthur W. I. were hostesses 2 the banquet served in Trinity church hall with the Ladies Aid as hostesses. Following a most sumptuous repast short addresses were given by Geo. S. Gibbon, acting mayor of Port Arthur; dev. Dr Patterson, Dr -C. N. Laurie, and Mrs Peter Heenan, Mrs B. O. Allen district president, presiding. Personal emp Myr and Mrs B. L.

The district director, Mrs Tuckey of Oxdrift, was present and addressed the meeting. Her subject was "The aims and objects of cur Organization", ana the address was very interesting as well as instructive. Following this, plans were laid to patch a quilt to be sold at a bazaar, the proceeds of which are to go towards paying for the com- munity hali. It is the aim of this or- ganization to clear the hall entirely of debt. The foliowwing officers were elected _yfor the ensuing year: pres. Mrs U. Col- leen; vice-pres., Mrs O. Norman; secy- trea. Mrs Marnie. After all the bus. iness was transacted, a deightful social hour was spent by the ladies, after which the hostess, Mrs Colleen, served a delicious chicken supper to all the members. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs Lundmark. The Charleston contestl at the Strand drew a full house. Miss M. Reid and Miss Mackie took part. Honours were equally divided and every body enjoved the dancing very much. The management of the Strand was just wondering whether a Mouth Organ contest would not be something that would entertain everybody. In a town like this where there is so much wind a contest like this should be a knockout and you need not be surprised to see a contest of this kind billed at the Strand shortly. We have some pictures that do not. come up to the standard we set. In fact every Theatre has this evil thrust upon them. But I would just like to call your attention to "Where Was I?" This is a dandy little comedy that will keep you giggling all the time. But just wait till you see the "Cohn's and the Kelley's" which is shown very soon. I honestly helieve it to be the funniest picture ever made. The Masquerade :-- Prizes for the masquerade are now being exhibited in the Dryden Pharm- acy window, andd tickets can be ob- tained there also. The bean contest is now open and anyone producing or purchasing a ticket before 4 o'clock p.m., October 29th is entitled to one guess. The prize for this is well worth having, so be sure and guess when you have bought your ticket. Please note that anybody wearing a mask may dance, but of course it is hoped that as many as possible will be in costume. However it is hoped that everyone dancing will wear a mask. The orchestra for this occasion will ve dressed as coons. This should add to the zest of the dance and at the came time enable the "Freshmen" to take part in the fun. Judging will take place at 11.30 and supper will be served as soon after as can be arranged. Those who are hiring costumes for the occasion are reminded that it is also Hallowe'en week in Winnipeg and they should therefore select and order their costumes as soon as possible, as they may not be able to secure one if they leave it too late. Bowling News :-- In the bowling contest Dr Morison i s high with 216 pins. There have been no games rolled in the mixed doubles so there is a good chance for anyone to bring along a partner and get in on the pair of dressed chickens. Coming Events :-- The Pumpkins have challenged the Sunflowers to a matech. This game snould be worth watching. Xeep your aye peeled for the date. the is be Pitt's Staff Trim C. P. R. The bowling contest on Reid's alleys opened Tuesday evening with a four-man three game match between the staff of Pitt's Ltd and the C.P.R. staff. Neither team rolled in good form which was probably due to lack of practice, but every game was very keenly contested and resulted in very narrow margins. C.P.R. won two of the three games, but lost the match by eighteen pins. The outstanding performer was "Tiny" Payne of the C.P.R. team, who rolled in his usual good form, frequen- tly finding it necessary to use only one ball to spill the maples. The other players, however, attribute his high scoring more to good luck than to skil- ful handling of the balls--some people are born lucky, others good looking. Another star performer was Capt. J. Riddle, of the steamer "Margaret." Jim was hittting on all cylinders, and it was largely due to his remarkable performance that the C.P.R. staff are today finding it difficult to look pleas- ant. Supt. Bob McMonagle, of the Pitt Rapid Transit Department, delivers a wicked hall. Bob has a sort of side- wheel delivery that is very effective Seme people seem to have a stand in vith everything, Bob seems to have his with the pins as they fell for him whether he hit the groove or not. "Jock" Hardie was the most disap- pointed man on either team. Jock is recognized as one of the oustanding players in Diyden; but although he re- peatedly tried his usual system of a "wee" creep-up as they play it in Scotland, Jock fell down badly--much to the delight of the newer element on their team. Foulis, Berry, Campbell and Curely used all the balls they were entitled to --some have even accused them using a few extras, but even at that the only thing that can be said in their favor is that they stuck with it until the game was over. Curley however, shows every indication of being a real bowler with the exception that he can- not distinguish between the gutter and the alley. It si understood that the C.P.R. team attribute their loss to the lack of the service of big Jack Skillen, who weilds a speed hall bigger than himself. Jack happened to be otherwise engaged, but 1g assessed with the total ex- pense of the game, In anv case everyone had a real good time and the players are looking forward to a return match--it being |. freely pio Veted that the next match vill be « more to the liking of the railroadars.

Banquet The banquet given by the D.A.A.A, en the evening of the 14th at the Dry- ners of the Scott Trophy--was a great ner of the Scott Trophy--was a great success. Almost fifty sat down to a well-cooked and served dinner which was enjoyed to the fullest possible ex- tent. . President A. E. Berrey was toastmaster, and called upon several cf those present for a few words--in- cluding Mayor Dingwall, Dr Mori: A. Pitt, M. F. Cook, D. W. Scott, M. I. Hambly and M. S. 'Campbell. All the speakers were in exceptionallyy good form----their remarks creating eonsid- erable amusement. "Dusty" Warren, Ernie Dickson and Joe Miller falling heir to their full share of the jokes. The whole spirit of the gathering indicated that the D.A.A.A. for the next season would receive better back- ing than heretofore, to which support they are justly entitled. After the banquet the entertsinment was carried on in the Town Hall where to music provided by the Freshman Orchestra, dancing continueud until 2 a.m. Everyone reported having had a splendid time. +h CLC BUCKE IS CENTRE OF GOLD RUSH. WINNIPEG, Oct, 16 19.--Another gold field appears on the verge of being opened up. "A rush of prospectors is reported in progress to Lake Savant, following reports of recent gold finds in the avea, and within the past few days at least fifty prospectors have arrived at Bucke station, where entry is made to the gold field by water route.
