Arthur Meighen will address a Public Meeting in the Strand Theatre, Dryden, next Wednesday, November Iz2th, at eight o'clock, The circumstances which make it possible to have a speaker of tively small town like Dryden are xceptional. Mr Meighen's trip was originally planned as a visit Wood. But the very natural ambition to honour a leader emin- ent in public affairs, and eager- ness to hear him speak, was an opportunity that might not other- wise be possible to many of us. Mr Meighen, as is generally known, entered public life as member for the farming district of Portage, Manitoba, and by sheer ability forced his way to > the top, succeeding R. 1. Borden as Premier of Canada. He is a rousing, forceful personality, and a very interesting speaker. The securing of his interest in the problems that affect Central Can- ada might one day prove a highly important factor in the develop- ment of this district, and might help t6 improve the lot of settlers by favourable government action on their behalf. The address will be well worth hearing as the utterance of 2 statesman of national rank, and will draw the attention of all Can- ada to this part of the country. --~NOTICE~-- Owing to Monday, November 10th being a legal holiday, Dryden Lodge No. 417, 1.0.0.F. will hold its regular meeting on Wednesday the 12th inst. at 8 o'clock Oh Baby !

Credit for the beautiful decorations goes to Mr Steen Thorsen, who carried them out unassisted. The Gammon orchestra was at its best, playing the latest, peppiest and jazziest numbers, the favorite being "Oh, Baby." Judging took place at 11.00 o'clock, the judges Mrs J. E. Gibson, Mrs M. S. Campbell and Dr Wood. After much deliberation prizes were awarded as follows:-- Ladies' Fancy, "Autumn," Miss Olive Ray; Ladies' Commie, 'Tur- kish Bath," Mrs Edgar; Hallowe'en costume, Victoria Williams; Gent's comic, "Old Maid," R. J. Pronger. Mr C. J. Wright and Mr R. J. Pron- ger very kindly donated two of the prizes, thus earning the undying grati- tude of the Guild. Others who are also deserving of mention for their kindness are the judges, the artist who did the decorating, and the lessees of the hall, who donated its use, and others. After the prizes were awarded the Girls served one of their famous lun- ches.--Oh Baby ! Supper ended, the crowd started in with renewed zest to trip the light fantastic, the syncopated spasmagoria being enhanced by the distribution of favors in the form of whistles which were enthusiastically employed for the balance of the evening. About two a.m. the revellers were regretfully obliged to depart for their homes, satisfied, happy, hilarious, and tired, but--Oh, Baby !

URGED CO-OPERATION. -At the Annual District Convention of the U.F.0. held in Dryden last Saturday by the delegates, the Presi- dent, A. R. Hutchison occupied the chair. An address was heard from Dougald Kennedy, M.P. on the newly arranged federal constituency which he succeeded in having passed, com- bining Kenora District with Rainy River, and giving Port Arthur separate representation. Mr Heenan followed with an inspir- ing speech urging farmers to strengthen their organization, to se- cure the advantages they had won. The continued co-operation of Labour and U.F.0. was for the best interests of the District. Mr Hugh M'Kinnon of Kenora also spoke along similar lines, Induction of Minister-- A special service was held in Union Church Wednesday evening, when the Rev. H. A. Rivers, was duly installed in the office of pastor to the Church. Rev. D. D. Miller, of Kildonan, rep- resenting the Presbyterian Church, preached an eloquent sermon on "Go- ing on to perfection," basing his re- marks on Hebrews VI. v. 1. Rev. J. A. Doyle, representing the Methodist Church, spoke to the Minis- ter-elect, of the responsibility he would undertake toward his new congrega- tion and pointing out the sure source of strength for the task. Rev. Mr Miller, again addressing the congregation, outlined the position of the Dryden Church in relation to the parent bodies, indicating the steps by which the congregation could unite in the great work of the Church in Can- ada and the world. Following the service a social hal? hour was enjoyed, tea being served by the Ladies Aid. Mr Rivers will be in charge of Oxdrift and Dryden field.
