Mrs. Banks explained that it was impossible for her to enter into any contract for the -Women s In- stitute after May, 1916,: and abso- lutely refused to have anything to do with the proposition. Miss Til- linton then proceeded to the home of Mrs. lHarold Lindsey, I vice-pres. of the Institute, and -told her that she had called on Mrs. Banks and represented her as being in favor of the proposition but that she would not sign the contract with- out Mrs. Dindsey s approval, and that the matter rested with Mrs. Lindsey. Mrs. Lindsey considered that if the _matter had the approval of the president that she would not oppose it and forthwith signed the contract. Later. in the day the ladies discovered the fraud and" al- so that by signing the contract Mrs. Lindsey had made herself liable for $100 damages in case the Women s Institute failed A to carry out to the contract.

Mr. Arthur Harper, of the Nova Scotia Bank sta, Markham, had a very narrow escape from death last week. He was bathing in Milne s pond and swam so close` to the dam that he was unable to overcome the suction and was drawn head rst .0ver'the stop logs, over which the Water .Was running two` feet deep. A rather peculiar `case was up in the Owen Sound police court last Week when a man living on the East Hill had a young Woman neighbor up for` stealing.
