Seeing` his work slipping through his ngers, he reminded the council of the $600 ex- pense to which his rm had gone without getting a nickel for it. He \=.aid the council would be foolish to ask for tenders without specications. They had not charged for their work till the town had gotten debentures. His firm had thou_e'ht that after pre- 1:-.tring' plans they would be the ones to get the further work. The plans were all in their orce and could be had at once.

FOR VERY BUSY SUMMER, I The VVomen s Institute held thel monthly meeting` at the home of Miss S'houhIice, Dunlop S1;.', with 21 good attendance. I A letter was read from Capt. Sparks of the Salvation Army, ask- ing if the Institute members would help collect for the Self-Denial Week. The `ladies decided to collect east of Owen St. A paper written by Mrs. Huxtmble on A Women s Inuence in a Community, `was read by Miss Shouldice. With regard to the prize essay contest offered by the South Simcoe, Women s Institutes to pupils vmhol write the best essays on How to` improve our rural school from a child s standpoint, Mrs. Huxtable, who is on the committee, explained that as Barrie schools were not in South Simcoe district, they could not compete. Q 11 1 Van` .1 vvv 1- . open it must be protected. l:larl_V in May the VV.I. are plan- ning` to put on a concert. Major T. Williams will train the boys and grirls for the choruses and the best fteen singers will go to Cookstownl in June to compete with all other Institute choruses in South Simcoe district. The first prize is $10.00, and it is hoped that Barrie will bring. home the bacor This, it is hoped, will be the beginning of a good choral society in Barrie. The` W.I. aim to give those a chance who` perhaps would not get it any other.` way. It is also intended to stagrel two short plays. The intention was! rst to hold the concert in the [.0.0.F. hall, but the law forbids, `as they have no theatrical license. This is done, no doubt, to protect the picture houses, which is perfectly right. Barrie is proud of its ne Opera House and if it is to be -kept If the concert is staged in the Opera it is hoped that the citizens will look on it in this light and not consider it a case of nerve on the part of the W.I. The manager of the Opera is willing` to accept 35 per cent. of door receipts. The proceeds, after paying; expenses, is intended to go towards erecting a pay toilet in Bar- rie. The ladies would like to erect it on Dunlop St., east of Powell & Hook s florist shop, providing the Council and Parks Commission are willing. READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS. The local dealers, to encourage this, have adopted a scale cf liberal dis- counts to the EARLY CASH BUYER. A change has been made by the coal producers in thei-`size of the screens used, which is making PEA and NUT sizes a little smaller and STOVE and EGG sizes a little larger.

You get better preparation at the mines, it can be screened and delivered in better shape when weather conditions are favorable ,and the usual DIFFERENCE IN PRICE PAYS WELL. But it is especially true this year because the wage agreement between the miners and operators in the Anthracite coal elds expires August 31st next, and the miners are still receiving the peak War wages, the operators are determined on a reasonable reduction. This may lead to a suspension of mining in the fall, which would seriously deplete the supply, and the l xauu.
