The <j|)enini{ exerciBi'.s were conducted liy Mrs. (Rev.) Lane c)f Kocklyii. Mrs. A. E.Myles.Presidon' ot Kiinberley lifMich, welcomed the visitors, in a tew Mellcho.s- en woids. The reply to the aJdross of welcome was given hy Mrs. A. N. Taylor of Annan, district president of Noith Grey. Although Mrs. Taylor referred to the geneial work of the orna- iiiz'itiun reyarditivs the patriotic efforts, yet she did not forget its main object, which may be siinimed up in these words : *• The men of earth IniiW hou.ses, hall», .\nd chambers, roofs and domes ; Th'j women of the e*rth, (iod knows, The Women butld the homes 1" ~ ~ ' President, Mrs. (Dr.) Kaston. In sub- f^I â- * f^'l** **! 11 I. '^f TIC I* »t»nce it is as follows ; .Just yon and 1 as we live from day to d»y draw to our- selves (juHt us u msguet draws) tie good and the bad. If the evil lie in us, we are drawn to the evil, if good, we impel the go'id ti: uf. What we get from our fellow men depends not nesrly so much upon whtit the men »re whom we touch as of wlml jortof men we are, who touch ihem. The divinity that shapes < ur ends is in ourselves. For character building we must h.ive iin idea'. Otr loved poets, our honored stat.esm in, our hp'.eiid'd generals we admire and love them bectuse wo see in them an iileal, iu them we recogni/.ti our^olves at "ur best. Succeis IS not nil in tliu attaining of a gre:it position in the world. To have nobly striven for success is often times a greater liiurel than the goal reached. In blessing otlieis wo ourselves are doubly blessed and we halt .o tind a character lipeiied by tho be.uiiy ( f service. This IS (he highest good, this is tho truest Buccesi. After the Presidei.t s adJress ii beaut i fully rendeied eolo waf uivon liy Mies Wallace of Thoriibury hsving as her iiccoiiipanibt, Miss .lean Mleuf the same town. The address of Ur. Annie Backus was a delight to her hearers. She pieficed her .iddress by apeaking of the tfl'ect of environment ou advancement, her sub- ject proper being the comparison of the state of women to-d.iy » ith that of previous times, also the part rhat women have always played in the war ; Helen of Troy, CleopatiH and Florence Nighiiiigald being ex^tniples ; and the bravery of the French women at present also iho patriotic British women. The grand conclusion reached that the sphere of woman is to help man and the sphere of man is to help woman. "The Presidents Remarks" being the next number on the program, Mrs. ^Dr.) Easton of Ayton expressed her delight ill seeing the beautiful panorama spread before her as she viewed the valley for th'i first time. .She referred very feelingly to the deatli of L)r. James, whose life hid been so full from the b'itinnidg of liis career, and who had F • I done so much for the Women's Institute. She lead a clipping lolling of the desli- n«tion of the motcjr .iiubulance given by thetjrey Co Women's Institutes. The mi.iutes of the [irevious annual convention were lead by Mrs. (lardner of Owen Sound, luder the head of lieports and General Businet-s it was decided that the next convention be held lu Owen .Sound, the time of year to be the third week in August, and thjt the Bessions be held in the aflerno(>n and livening. The exact date is to be chosen by the Owen .Sound Branch. One Hpeaker *nd ouemusiciiui to be appointed by each district, and thii tu be left io •the district executive to lie attended to in M*y. It was decide! to continue tiavinK a Department speaker, and the secretary wis asked to write to Co'. McFarland regurJing the most pressing needs of the soldiers at Camp Borden. The election of othcera resulted iis follows : President, Mrs. (l)r ) Ea.ston, Ayton ; Vice-Pres , Mrs. .V. K. Myle.>, Ktmberley ; Sec.-Treas , Mis. J. Gard- ner, ( )won Sound. The t^uesiion Urawor w.is conducted by Mrs. Buclisnin, District President of Centre (Jrey. The main question was the following re«arding il:e resolution â- " That the women (f Centre Grey Women's Institute do desire the fran- chise, sent to Premier Hearst, what is the answer I The following cominunica tioiis were read by Mrs. It. A. Carruthers ♦ he District Stc. of Centre Grey : Dear Madsnie.- I have your letter of the 2nd insi. and am transferring same to the Minister of Agriculiure fur such instructions as may be proper under the ^jircumstaiices. Yours truly. â€" W. U. HKARST. Dear Madame, â€" The Honorable the Prime Minlbter has transferred to me ^our letter forwaroing resolution passed liy Centre Grey Women's Institute in- timating that the iiiembeis of tho nrgui- i/rttion do desiio the Franchise. Wlii'u I quite realize that this is a subject in which many people are intercs'ed ai.d i|uile R|ipieciato the fact that the members ot ycjur orgini/.ition li.>ve their /iwn views on the ipiestion, at ilie same .time I do not think it should be olhcially .considered at a meeting ot the Institute. I know of many Wv>men opposed to .undertaking the obl.gations which tho iranchi'ie would impose, while I '|uile lecognizi that there are others who would welcome the responsibility. There ure so many things to be done which the Woman's Inititutd have tliowii thorn- selves capable of doing that it seems lUnfortunate that any subject which Voul4 bo llk«Iy to divide your organiza- atioii should be introduced. It seems to me the Women's Institute should confine itself to subjects of coiiuiion interest and cnmmon importance, while o'her organ- izitions may devote their attention to It.liis more or less controversial subject. I think this is particularly true iit present when every energy towards toringinn the wai to i successful coiidu- «ion and ameliorating thesullering which it is causing should be exerted. Mong this line iho Women's Int-litu.te have done noble woik in the past, and I hive DO doubt they will continue Io Jo so. Yours very truly, -,IAS. S. Dl'FF. Then followed the addrest of the Karstedt Oil Well Is Again Producing The Karstedt oil well is igniii to the fore. It was about ihi-i time hist year that it first produced oil in any quantity, and during the winter and spring there was nothing doiiii/, the well being full ot water. .\ few weeks ago Mr. Ksrstedt pumped out the *ell to the bottom and the water which then came in was mised with tht while oil. Last week the amber oil began coming in and is now running in even greater tpiantity than it did last year. Monday niornius The Advance assisted in making a couple of dips with a pail, the product measuring an even giUoii of pure amber oil. Last year, it will be remembered, a Pe'.iolea expert cjme her-) and investi- gated. He personally told The Advance then lli^it there was no possibility of it being soaksge, then straightway went home and repotted to the Depar'ment of Mines, by wh"iii he was employed to make a report, thit it was soakage ! Mr. Karstedt would now like the Department to send along a" man to try and locale the soakage vein, ss his well hss betn usele.ss for domestic purposes tor the past two years. No one in this district for one moment now be.'ieves that it is soika^e. The expert was aurticiently expert to save his reputation with the Department for the time being, but the timo may shortly coaie when he will bo obliged to acknowledge his fallibility. With the present oil output from tlrs well it would be folly to let it go without a thorough test. If there is a new gr»de of oil under us we want to know it and it should not be dithcult to interest a few capitilifcts sutliciently to prove it, even if the Department wi'.l not assistr R H. W.

After singing "Home Sweet Home" the audience was favored by a piper by Mrs. (Di.) Voliimn of fhornbuiy entitled, ''Some thoughts and lessons for after the Wir. " To liive a synopsis of it would only t > m.-ike it a caricature. Suthce to say that besides Iieing veiy instructive it wa.v filled with beautiful language. The siiiguig of Ills N.itional .\iitheni brought to a close one of the must succe.ssful conventions of Grey County Wonirn s Insti'iite . Mrs. Mitthe* Merrit of Clarksburg was thrown from a buggy and seriously injured. The Future of Flying During a visit to Boston as guest of honor of ihe Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr Orvilla Wright allowed himself to be interviewed by the Boston Globe. In speaking of the relation be. tween the ioioplane and modern warfare, he called attention to the fact that it Is tho Hying machine that holds the Imltle lines in deadlock . It has made war so nearly static and so expensive that it may yet put an end to it. Mr. Wright believe.i that the present war has done much to improve tho MToplane, for fiyin>; h'l.s increased a hundredfold, and Ihe new machines are better in many wayj. But most of tho improvements are mitters of practical detail; advances in the science of Hying are to be looked foi from the Utiotatories, under peace conditions. Mr. WiiL'ht believes that the ieroplane will be useti more and more in time of peace for rapid transit, for sport and possibly for explora'ion. "1 look to see aiicraft commonly u»ed in [ assenger and iii ill service, e'pecially for routes and to places tint are dithcult to reach by steiiiisliip or railway. I believe that the iiroplaiiB will be uidd instead of the special train, but I do nut think it will be u«ed for carrying large cargooi or heavy passenger lis'.s. In air navig.ition you come loa point beyond which si/.e and <|UBiitity do not pay. As u sport •iviition liai already 'arrived.' All that holds it back is the as yet imperfect development of its motor. The engine of an ;i'roplane is, in one sense, a better engine than that ot the automobile, but it has n-jt yet reached the stage of devel- opnicnt that the auttmiubilo engine has reached â€" where it can be relied on to run for an indefinite periid. Wheci it does reach that stage, the popularity of tho aiidiilane will rapidly increase. A pleasure vehicle in the sense and to the extent that the automobile is a pleasiiie vehicle 1 do not expect the le-oplar.e to become at least, not /or a long time. The obstacle is expense. The miichinu is large; it requires a largo building to house it; and the open space necessary for landing makes an additional exjiense, although that last does not, of course, apply to iho hydroplane."
