Symphony Console in your home!
y^T the new low prices now in effect, there is no longer any
reason why anyone should forego the enjoyment of owning
a Rogers Batteryless Radio.
The beautiful 19.28 Console Model, illustrated above, will bring
in stations near and far with wonderful clarity and richness of
tone—without the nuisance of batteries, chemicals, or unsightly
wiring. And to match its tonal beauty, Receiving Unit and
Symphony Speaker are incorporated in a beautiful Cabinet of
satin-finished Genuine Walnut.
Hear this newest Rogers Batteryless Model—complete. and
always ready (because it uses the uniform power of electricity)
to give you the same uniform performance day in and day out.
‘ JAsk us to demonstrate in your home—there will be no obliga-
„ jtion. Convenient monthly payments, if you decide to purchase,

Recently one ounce of Alfalfa seed was found to contain
approximately 900 weed seeds, which would have resulted
iri the distribution of almost a million weeds to every acre
sown.
And such examples as this are not uncommon. Forestall the
danger of ruined crops now! Take every precaution in selec
ting and cleaning your seed—because on them principally
depends the ultimate success of your crops.
Under the Weed Control Act the destruction of noxious
weeds is compulsory. Let us co-operate to end this menace.

____________ , W,
G, Hansford, in your issue of March
15tli re the quality of the water sup
plied by -our wells for domestic use.
In 1923 a '‘Sanitary
our town was made by
clal Board of Health,
water were taken from
The following quotation from the re
port of this survey will show how
very true Mr. Ransford’s statements
“Exeter has a water system for
fire protection only, but over a quar
ter of the- houses are connected to
this supply and use it for various
domestic purposes. The grossly
polluted water from a small creek
is pumped directly into the main;
there is no attempt at purification
This constitutes a menace to the
Public Health which can’t be neg
lected with impunity, Only 5 wells
out of 393 samples were free from
pollution, There is no supply of
surface water within a reasonable
distance of Exeter, which could be
used as a source of domestic waiter
supply without expensive methods of
treatment. There is no data avail
able regarding underground sources
of water. It would pay Exeter,
however, to explore the possibilities
of such a supply, and if possible
convert the present dangerous fire
supply, into a safe domestic one.”
More recently numerous individ
ual -samples have been sent and re
ports received show that there is
practically no pure water in Exeter.
Exeter, as you know, has been
settled for a great many years, and
during all that time with a popula
tion that has been even larger than
at the present. The soil is saturat
ed with the products of animal de
composition, and shallow wells with
out pollutions are almost an impos
sibility. True, the correctly con
structed and proper instalation of
septic tanks are not as dangerous as
the old privy system because bac
teria are killed in the tanks and ani
mal matter is absorbed by plants
when the drainage is at the proper
depth. But this by no means re
moves all our
gers are still
a dry season, •
become more
tions, would „ .. .
practically menaced by epidemics of
typhoid fever, dysentry, diarhoea,
diphtheria, goitre and various other
grave diseases.
■ It might be mentioned, .in passing
that the expense involved in having
Engineers “explore for -an under
ground source’-’ as suggested in the
report is unnecessary according to
Mr. Ransford, since he tells us this
source is available at 300 feet.
In summing up the report of their
survey, The Provincial Sanitary En
gineers said.—
It is therefore recommended:
1. That Exeter Chlorinate its
present fire supply, . , -
2. That Exeter get expert engin
eers advice and if possible convert
its present fire supply
domestic supply by the
sian wells, but if it is
to secure watei’ from
then filters should be
the earliest possible moment.
3. That Exeter should have plans
of a complete system of sewers
drawn up and approved by the Pro
vincial Board of Health, then when
the necessity for drains arises, it can
be built according to the plans and
ultimately give Exeter a complete
system of sewers.
It is well to bear in mind that the
above report is on file at the Pro
vincial Board of Health: that under
the new Healli Act proposed at To
ronto independent officers are very
likely (to some here and instruct us
to install a complete domestic water
supply and sewage system, as they
already have -done at Forest and
other towns. A pure water supply
now would doubtless serve to post
pone that day when we need face
the expense of a sewage and sewage
disposal system.
There is nothing more important
in any community than a supply of
pure wholesome drinking water. The
above mentioned report shows be
yond any doubt that the quality of
our well water is far* from this ideal.
Therefore it is obviously a matter
of vital importance that steps should
be taken at the earliest possible date
to ascertain how best the condition
can be remedied and I would urge
that our-reeve and council look into
the matter ere we are visited by
some epidemic.

The fact that, the Government re
served the right to appoint such an
officer proved their intention of do
ing so and the advisability of so do
ing when expedient and as such ani
mals are detrimental to the increase
of ground nesting birds, such as our
own native -grouse (commonly call
ed partridge;) ring-neck pheasants
quail and many other species of in
sectivorous birds, it is for the - pre
servation of these and their increase
that the recommendation was made,
our Association beleiving that it is
the wish of the Government and al
so for the best interests of agricul-
urists that bird life

As we see things,

Regarding the suitability of the
Game Preserve for Pheasants it is
considered by some that know to be
suitable. As far as our own ex
perience goes we would say that it
is, as a number of the members of
our Association had the pleasure of
visiting a similiar piece of ground
and were pleased to fnd it well pop
ulated by these birds which had been
on their own initiative for some
years and were prospering.
In closing allow us to say that
this Association is chiefly concerned
in what is best for the preserve and
we have no private interests involv
ed nor do we wish to force our
views on the landowners.
We are therefore arranging for a
meeting at an early date of which
they will receive due notice where
the situation will be discussed and
we hope satisfactory arrangements
made.

To the Editor of the
Exeter Times-Advocate
Dear Sir:—
In answer to certain questions
about 'the Huron Game Preserve I
wish to reply to the best of my know
ledge, also I would like to ask a few
questions. I 'would like to have it
proved that I applied for a permit
to make a private hunting ground
for myself out of the preserve. Now
11 'Wish to state that any thinking
man would know that it would be
out of reason and would not be right
to give one mai|' a permit to go on
the preserve and kill all the fur
bearing animals on it so that he
could make big money out of it and
all of the rest of the landowners just
look on. Now I have no such per
mit and the statement made, that it
has made a private hunting ground
out of the preserve is false. If the
gentlemen had ‘ asked me I could
have given them all the information
they wanted and 'there would
been no trouble over it.
To all land owners and all
cerned in the "game preserve I
to state that I have a permit to pre
serve the game and not to 'destory
it under any condition, as long as it
does not become a nuisance to people
living on or near the preserve and
to bird life. By carefully looking
over the preserve I find it is not a
nuisance as yet; but it did not look
so to some of the fur hunters this
winter from the amount of tracking
that was done on it. There has
been a rumor going around -that I
have been hunting on the preserve
which is not true, and' if these ru
mors persist someone may be called
to account.
Thanking you for the space in
your valuable paper,. •• .

To the Editor of
Exeter Times-Advocate
Dear Sir:
In reply to the communication
under the heading “The Game Pre
serve” which was published in last
week’s issue of your valuable paper
and which deals with the permit
granted by the Government to one
of their Deputy Game Wardens to
kill and destroy predatory animals
such as Skunk, Weasel and Mink,
within the boundaries of the Huron
Crown Game Preserve, we wish to
make the following statements:
It is quite correct that the Game
Protective Associations did recom
mend to the Department of Game
and. Fisheries the official that
been appointed by them for
above purpose.
The advisability of so doing was
discussed and agreed upon at a re
gular meeting of the Association of
Which due notice was given in the
customary manner to all active mem
bers of the Association and there
wore in attendance at this meeting
more members than required by its
laws to transact any and a,ll business
of the Association; also that the of
ficers of the Association were elect
ed in a proper manner and are not
self-appointed as implied by your
correspondent.
If the writers of the referred to
communication will refer to the

Miss Agnes Anderson entertained
her Sunday schooL-class on Thurs
day evening last. A most enjoyable
evening was spent in 'games and
music, after which a dainty lunch
was served by the hostess.
The beautiful spring days of the
past week have changed the road
conditions in and around the village
the snow and ice having all gone.
Church is Free of Debt
The congregational social evening
and supper held in the church on
Tuesday evening last, was well at
tended. At this function the notes
used to finance the building of the
church, were burned by four ladies
representing four different depart
ments of the church; Mrs. J. W.
Bowden, the Ladies Aid, who spoke
very suitably for the occasion; Mrs.
A. Brooke, the W. M.S.; Mrs. T.
Neil, treasurer of the Ladies Aid
during the -building operations of
the church, and Miss A. Anderson,
the Y. P. S. Mr. W. R. Elliott, as
chairman, reviewed the forming of
the different committees to build
the new church after the old one
was burned, having been struck by
lightning. He emphasized t-lie fact
that we had the right man in the
right place in the person of Rev. A.
Sinclair, who was the pastor during
the building operations and by his
genial disposition and kindly spirit,
working as he did aided greatly in
the erection and completion of the
beautiful edifice. Words could not
express the co-operative spirit that
existed during this time. As Mr.
Sinclair was called to the platform
in his usual way he spoke kndly
of his stay in Centraliai and the
• building in which he then stood and
ended up by a few humorous re
marks. He was gven a right royal
reception, every one being glad to
greet both him ana Mrs. Sinclair
once more.
Presentation to Mr. Essery
Rev. Mr. Irwin spoke briefly, out
lining building operations in which
he had been engaged, on different
charges, and then asked Mr. John
Essery, the fnancial treasurer, of the
Building Committee to come to the
platform. At this juncture Mrs. W.
J. Parsons read an address to Mr.
Essery and Mrs. T. Willis presented
him with a gold-mounted cane, suit
ably engraved, as a slight token for
the faithful services he had render
ed in the capacity of treasurer of the
Building Fund. Mr. Essery was
taken completely by surprise and
deeply touched by the incident, but,
in his usual way thanked the ladies,
who had so nobly -stood by him in his
endeavors to raise money. He as
sured the treasurer of the shed com
mittee, Mr. Albert Brown, that he
need .have no fear to approach the
ladies when in urgent need of funds
as he had done so on many -occas
ions and always met- with success,
and now to- cap .it all they have made
this presentation, so that he was
doubly sure -they like to take a hand
in helping along any good cause per
taining to church work.
The program was intermingled
with quartettes, a male chorus,
duetts, solos, etc. and at the close all
joined in singing the National An
them.
Needless to say the evening was
an entire success, both supper and
program being (thoroughly enjoyed
by all present.
Address to Mr. John Essery:
Dear Friend;—
The present occasion is one which
takes place in the lifetime of only,
a few, and never in the life of many.
The beautiful church in which we
now meet, the liquidation of the
debt in such a short time, the cere
mony and pleasure of.burning the
notes to-night; all go to-make 'the
occasion most unique. While in the
last analysis we are indebled for
such things to a willing people, ne
vertheless, we do not forget? that
personally you have played a very
important part in the matter. To
you was committed the often. un
pleasant and arduous task of taking
charge of the building fund? You
have shown that the confidence of
the people placed in you in designat
ing you foY such a, position was not
misplaced. You did it with exceed
ingly good tact, gentlemanly consid
eration, and untiring perserverance
until it has culminated in the func-
ton of this hour.
The people have been, seized with
the fact that your labors should bo
recognized in some tangible way. We
therefore take great pleasure in pre-*
senting you with this gold-mounted
cane, Thankful as we are that in
your present vigorous 'condition of
health you do pot really need its sup
port, and we pray that you may not
need it for many years to cotne, but
if such a time does come, we rest
assured that your great support will
be the presence of :Him in the in
terests of whose kingdom you have
spent so many years.
