Fort Newton, who returned from Lon
don where he preached in the City
Temple the Ave Sundays in July, will
occupy his pulpit in the Little Brick
church. Sunday, September 3.
Mr.. Newton has words of high praise
for the courage and the spirit of the
English people in this time Of severe
trial. Although London is like great
hospital and nearly every home in
England has been touched by the war,
there is cheerfulness and optimism
which indicates time of peace rather
than grim conflict.
Everywhere there is determine
ton to ''stick it" as the English ex-
press it. until the allies have won the
war. There is no talk or wish for
peace until the Belgians have been
avenged Business IS good and al
! though earned incomes are taxed
eighteen per cent and other forms OF
capital are paying nearly sixty pei
cent, there is no complaint.

pass all previous records.
Two new barns were erected for
sheep and cattle in anticipation of in.
creased entries and to take care of
future growth. Entries in the cattle
department of more than 200 head,
has necessitated the erection of tents
to accommodate the increase. The
poultry exhibit has 500 entries making
necessary the erection Of temporary
sheds to meet the demand for space.

any Wednesday crowd In the history
of the fair and today bids fair to show
a like increase. A.
