PROF. SHAW DOING EXCELLENT WORK When Mr. John C. Shaw was in GRIMSBY last week, THE INDEPEN DENT enquired after his brother, Mr. Thomas Shaw, who formerly lived in the Township of Binbrook and edited the Live Stock Journal at Hamilton and who later was Professor of Agriâ€" culture at the O. . C. Guelph,. We were pleased to learn that Professor Shaw had been very successful in the line of agriculture in the United States, to which country he went when _ he left Guelph. He first was professor of agriculture at Hamlin in the Uniâ€" versity of Minnesota, but at the presâ€" ent time he has charge of the agriculâ€" tural and live stock work for the the front. _ Your smiall contribution may be the means of saving the _ life of one of your own brave lads, â€" and we know that you would not wish to have one of them die if it were: posâ€" sible to save him. St. Cecilia Chapter, Daughters â€" of the Emipire, surely deserve an extra need of praise for the splendid sucâ€" cess they made of the bazaar held at GRIMSBY Beach on Saturday in aid of the Canadian women‘s hospital ship fund. So many things seemed to work against them. Within a few days afâ€" ter they had announced that they would _hold the event, fire swept throught the park and left a desolate waste where the scene of the bazaar had ibeen planned. Then the callcame for the general moneyâ€"raising scheme of all the women of the city and the day selected was the one set for the St. Cecilia‘s affair. This kept large numbers away, of course. Arrangeâ€" ments had progressed too far to change either the time or place and so the ladies bravely went on and they had a delightful day and cleared $300 for the hospital ship. The bazaar was held just across from the burned section but the ladies _ turned their backs upon that scene and enjoyed themselves. Quite a number of friends went down on the 210 radial car and the GRIMSBY and Beach people also turned out. Mrs. Burkholder, regent of the chaipter, was ably assisted by her officers and â€" membersâ€"and _ by some others, among whom should be mentioned Mrs. Hugh Martin, of Torâ€" onto, who, besides having charge â€" of the fancy goods booth, did a great deal to make the whole affair a sucâ€" cess. A subscription of $20 from Mrs. J. F. Monck and the liberal purchases of many friends were greatly appreâ€" ciated. A cheque from the captain and purser of the Macassa was also _ reâ€" ceived with great pleasure. The _ atâ€" tractions included a tea room, candy booth, ice cream and _ soft drinks, fancy goods, millinery and several drawings. One drawing was for a fine cake, donated by J. H. Aussem, _ and won by a Toronto young lady. The ladies in charge of the various booths were: ZCan-dyâ€"â€"tMrs. Philps, Miss Margaret Philps. & Cake guessing contestâ€"Miss Jewel Pearson.

Mr. Hill has used Professor Shaw‘s great knowledge of agriculture to increase his railroad business, by sending him into new districts to educate the farâ€" mers what to grow and how to grow it, with the result that in many . inâ€" stances the shipment of grain and liveâ€"stock over the railway lines _ in those~districts were dowbled year by year, greatly to the profit of the railâ€" way. company.
