“Mr. Yule came to Owen Sound 12 years ago to accept the position of choir leader and organist of the Di- vision Street Presbyterian Church, and has held that position ever since with the exception of one year’s leave in England studying and three years with the Canadian Expedition- ary forces. He served with distinc- tion in France as a Lieutenant in the famzms 4th OMB and was gassed on August 28, 1918. He quickly re- covered and went to the-Rhine with the unit. returning to Canada in 1919. Three years ago he was appointed supervisor of music in the local pubâ€" lic schools and during that time has. raised the musical standard in the schools a very great deal. He had a deep interest in the children ‘ knew a ’smo 1'. all of them hv name, f and w as a great fay orite with them. T he concert recently put on by the schmiil children but. exemplified the work done by Mr. Yule and the teachers in raising the musical standard am1g1ngst the young. Mr. Yule. besides being choir lee der and organist in the church has also tak- en the gr13atest interest in church affairs. H13 is President of the \oung Pe011l13‘s $11ciety of the church, and his enthusiasm and ability made it a real organization. As a member of the local Rotary Club, Mr. Yule has served well. He. was accompanist for the club. and was one of its brightest most selfâ€"sacrificing and haul-w orking members. Mr. Yule organized the Yule Studio Club and showed tl‘1roughout his residence here the keenest interest in musical ati'airs. His choir was responsible for the. visit of Edward Johnson a year ago, and several other famous singers. Both Mr. and Mrs. Yule will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends. The salary that Mr. Yule will receive for five days a week will be $3,500, $2,300 as super- visor of music and 81,200 as conduct- or of the choral society. He is rec- og nized as one of the best supervis- ors of music in Canada, and as a conductor has few equals. He is a member 01' the Orpheus Chorus.” ‘J. L. YULB GOES TO KITCHENBR According to the Owen Sound pa- pers, Mr. J. ' L. Yule, well-known in Durham, and a brother-in-Iaw of Dr. W'. (3. Pickering here, has acâ€" cepted the position‘ of supervisor of music in the public schools at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Yule are ex- pected to leave for their new home some time before the ist of Sep- tember. Referring to his departure, the Owen Sound Sun-Times says: MEAFORD LAWYER DEMANDS CUSTODY OF CHILD An application to the courts for the custmly Of a child. which may parallel the notoritms Link case. of London and Hamilton, is that in which George G. Albery, solicitor of the town of Meat‘ortl, has secured a writ of haheus corpus for the pro- duction of his child in court when the question of who shall have cusâ€" tody of it may he argued. Mr. Al- bery states that. he believes his wife’s mother knows Where the child is, but she will not disclose the place to him. Mr. Alhery is held in the highest reputation in the locality of his home, according to the affidavits of neighbors filed. Some years ago he was a Parliamentary candidate. He has been municipal clerk of the. town of Meafm-(zi and of the township of St. Vinvent since 1890. In June, 1916. Mr. Albery married the daughter of Rev. Robert Barbour. They lived t0gether in Menforri. A bOy was born on JuneAQ, 1917 and is now five years, Of age. On February 9 the. wife suddenly disappeared, taking with her the child. Mr. Albery, it. is claimed, asked Mr. Barbour Where his daughter and her child were. but the answer was that he did not know and that Mrs. Barbour would have to be asked. Mrs. Barbour. says Mr. Albery, re- fused to tell. him where the two were. though he believes that she knows. A. writ of habeus corpus, was granted by Justice Middleton, direct- ed to Mrs. Barbour, and the court mav seek to compel her to disclose the xx hereabouts of the missing pair. Similar action in the Link case was unsuccessful. In that case it. was an aunt who refused to disclose the \Yl’u’rreabouts Of the Link girl and rather than answer the questions put to her she allowed herself to be placed in custody. ’ “John Jay” on the Rampage .

(Guelph Hedald.) The arrest took place at Toronto on Sunday at 93 Sherbourne Street, of Mabel Dingman of Arthur, on in- structions of County Crown Attorney Kearns of this city. She is wanted in connection with an escapade which took place about a month ago in which her friend. Mrs. Pearl Hambly, also of Arthur, Went away one Saturday night with two young men of Palmerston, Eddie Hayes, who is out on parole, and Melvin Koehler. It will be remembered that. these young peonle secured a car and drove to London, came back to Arthur and then completely disap- peared. ‘It was, learned from the Dingman girl that the other three members of the party are at Bridge- burg. and an efl'ort is being made to get them at that place.

A caller at The Express printing office on Monday was Mr. Holmes, of R. H. Holmes Sons, Toronto,. He and his son, Mr. Harold Holmes, were going through by auto, conveying from Lake Huron to Lake Ontario a, fine specimen of an Indian birch-j bark canoe. It was some 17 feet long and (though it may be carried over a portage by one man) will accomâ€" modate five men. Mr. Holmes pur- chased it ten or fifteen years ago from some Indians in the Hudson’s Bay district with whom he had been on a lengthy trip, both hunting and fishing. The craft is a particularly {good specimen of Indian handiwork and very much prized by Mr. Holmes who intends using it at his summer ! home at Rice Lake this season. The icanoe, though showing some signs i of age and usage. is still in most ser- :\'iceahle condition, and was an object of considerable interest to those who had the privilege of inspecting it ,during Mr. Holmes’ short stOp in El- iora. Mr. Holmes was formerly en- ; gaged in the newspaper business. fand connected with the Associated 1 Press for many years. and" was quite i interestedin inspecting the interior ofh country newspaper office.

PAT-HER 0P QUIN’HUPLBTS DUBIOUS ABOUT HIS LUCK A dispatch from Natchez, Missis- sipi, says: Five years ago triplets were born to Mrs. William Prestage of Floyd, a microscopic community near Mon- roe, West Carroll County, Louisiana: and the doctor, after congratulating Mr. Prestage, told him not to be 0Vâ€" eralarmed. ' “Triplets are unusual, Bill,”--said the doctor. “Chances are that Mrs. Prestage will never repeat the exâ€" perience. Most unusual, triplets. Never heard of but two other women who. became mother of two sets of triplets. You’re a darned fortunate man, Bill. Much luck to you!” It is a matter 0f record that Mr. Prestage received the. triplets and the congratulations without noticeâ€" able enthusiasm. He permitted the doctor to shake his hand and‘stood on the porch nodding his head slow- ly to the neighbors who stopped to applaud and wish him well. But the hard, cold truth is that no earâ€"split- ting cheers were heard to issue from the throat of Mr. Prestlage.
