Interesting Lyceum Number,

Sergeant FIahiff, a cleancut
young American, comes to US
Wednesday night, March Is. d.
rect from the front with thrill
ing personal experiences.
He was with the Canadian
Princess Pat regiment when
they went into action in the first
line trenches with 1856 men and
withstood the onslaughts of the
enemy until only % of it's mem
bers were able to walk out of
the trenches unaided. Was in
the heavy fighting at Ypres, was
at Bapaume back of Vimy ridge,
twice in big drives he went over
the top" and dozens of times in
trench raids-served in three
most dangerous capacities; a
bomber, then a machine gunner,
then a stretcher bearer. After
this was honorably DISCHARGED
on account of trench fever,
Sergeant Flahjff describes
every day army life at the front,
shows the trenches. demons
trates gas mask, and describes
barbed wire entanglements, lis.
tening posts. barrage fire and
all the things you have been want
ing to know at first hand.
Don't miss the interesting lee.

Burris Bros, Ltd,
Improve Store

The interior of Burris Bros.
Ltd, store has been completely
remodeled and as it is fresh from
the hands of the painter and
decorator this week it presents
a most attractive appearance and
furnishes fitting background
for the magnificent stock OF
goods they are displaying for
the spring and summer trade.
The new furnishings give space
for a regular departmental ar
rangement of goods, which is not
only more convenient for the
service, but very helpful to the
customers and exceedingly at
tractive as we'll.

A Good Example.

Mr.. D. c. Wood. whose house
on Main street burned some
time ago, has cleared away the
rubbish. ploughed the ground
and planted Irish potatoes. max
the place look so much better.
Would it not be well for others
to follow Mr.. Woods example?
Those places look ridiculous, es-
pecially to a stranger. If a good
man was TO come here expecting
to buy property and make bis
home here, when he saw those
old burned places he would most
likely become disguised and
leave. CITIZEN.
