Newly Elected President Stratford Rotary Club The announcement that Dr. G. H. Ingham has been elected president of the Rotary Club, replacing S. R. Mc- Conkey, who had resigned, will be as popular with the public generally as it was with the member's of the Rotary Club.

Our suggestion is that it be placed on the roof of the arena. That will probably find as much. favor as any of the sites which have been men- tioned to date. * * * Workmen have been busy for a few days repairing the chimney of the court house. Now Fred Armstrong and_ the County Council can say to the Board of Education, "Watch our smoke." * * * ¥ Edward Kahrs, the bare legs mis- sionary from Tillsonburg, was. in the city on Wednesday, and announced that his "more sun for the body move- ment was slowly gaining ground. Mr. Kahrs should have taken a stroll across the dam in the direction of William street, and he would have decided that Stratford is away ahead of him in the movement. & e e Some enterprising chap has figured out that if every person who stands outside the new swimming pool were Nonsense"' to go inside and have a swim, the pool would be paid for within about two weeks. es ¢ 6 In answer to the plea of the Mirror to "Send it in," a local citizen writes as follows: "Ig the management of the Liquor store neglecting its duty? On Fri- day I noticed a Woodpecker going along to the various cars parked on Ontario street and picking moths from the radiators. When he got op- posite the Liquor Store, he flew against the -building two or three times, as if thirsty. No one noticed his plight." We would suggest that perhaps it was a Sap Sucker and that it soon noticed it had made a mistake. Here is one which a popular local man told the other night: <A farm- Capt. A. E.

Scots Fusiliers Band At Lakeside Park Tonight A little break from the weatherman is all that is required tonight, and Stratford citizens who are great lovers of band music will have their musical appetites appeased. The attraction at the bandstand in Lakeside Park will be the Scots Fus- \iliers Band from Kitchener. Lieut. G. H. Ziegler will handle the baton for some 60 or 65 men when the band takes up its position on the stand. This splendid group of musicians paid a visit to Stratford last year, and any who heard them will not be likely to miss the opportunity of hearing them again tonight. The Perth Regiment can be thanked for bringing the Kitchener band to Stratford.
