For ten days or more the farmers
of South Huron have been advan
taged by harvest weather that has
left nothing to be desired. All day
long the sun ha® shone with a mild
splendor that has ripened* the har
vest to the point of perfection. Gentle
winds have dried the grain a
nicety. Storms that have visited
other portions of the provinces have
passed this region without disturb
ance. As. a natural result, thrifty
agriculturalists have garnered their
harvests with pleasure and pro
found gratitude. No opportunity
for their so doing has been wanting.
As time has been afforded fall
plowing has been done and all pre
parations are going forward for the
sowing of fall wheat. Bean^ are
maturing in the' pod, and corn is
developing at an almost unprece
dent rate. So far, no blight has
appeared on the potatoes, while the’
tomatoes are maturing most satis
factorily under the influence of the
sun and of the wind that stirs but
does not destroy. On every hand
are to be heard, as there should be,
expressions of deep satisfaction
with the fine, seasonable weather
that has been the gift of Providence
of this locality.
THE MENACE
A man appeared in court the other
day at Coburg on a charge of burn
ing up the highways at the rate of
60 miles an hour. After he paid
his fine it was learned, that he was
chief of police in a city in Connecti
cut, whose chief duty is apprehend
ing speeders. One would kind of
expect better recognition of the laws
from a chief of police, but in this
case however, the chief had had a
taste of how they do things in a
nadian court.
Family reunion picnic are on
increase. That is a good thing,
there anything nicer than the gatherr
ing yearly of a family and all its
scattered branches? In the old
days this used to be almost an im
possibility. Nowadays most large
families are organized; the secretary
sends out cards ; the women pack up
the lunch baskets and tlie men oil
up the flivver and away they go. The
family reunion is popular and hun
dreds attend them. May they
grow less.
When is a youngster safe
accidents? Almost at no time,
you ever had your little kiddie fol
low you up and down the lawn while
you mowed the lawn. Did it ever
occur to your mind that the kiddies
are doing a dangerous thing. The
other day at Molesworth a little boy,
running
cidently
hand in
severed
XT*OU, who do not own a car, are
A- missing many pleasures that you
might enjoy — the convenience of
swift, easy travel from place to place
■—the comfort and privacy of trips
free from track and timetable—the
thrill of roads flying beneath you like
never-ending ribbons—the fresh, cool
breezes of the great outdoors.
You are missing all these—and •more. And
you are missing them needlessly—you, who
do not feel you shoifld spend the price of a
new car! For surprisingly few dollars all
of these pleasures may be yours.
A good Used Car, sold by a responsible
dealer, offers you all of them, and at a
cost so low as to be an obstacle no longer.
We have a variety of good cars which’
owners have exchanged for “Bigger and
Better” Chevrolets — cars that hold thou
sands and thousands of miles of enjoyment
and convenience. And the prices are the
lowest we have ever known.
Do not go on missing things you can enjoy!
{See these good Used Cars today. c.t8.B-2ac

No matter to what height of
scorn the speed fiend has been lifted
he continues on his dusty and san
guinary path without regard to the
laws of God or man. This is parti
cularly true of such menaces when
they are found on the better class of
roads off ‘the main highway. In
nearly every Ipcality one of these
roads where such notices are re
quired one meets such signs as
"Dangerous Curve," "School Zone,”
"Narrow Bridge Ahead." Care
ful, sensible people observe these
signs' but the ill-starred nincom
poops drive ahead as if they were
on errands of life and death urg
ency.- The ghastly thing about it is
that no one 'seems to care. No pro
vincial police visit these 'roads,
local police have any mode of over
taking these potential murderers.
No farmer has| a chance in -the
of getting the number of
death-inviting gentry. Should
outlaws be captured they are
a fine that is about as effect-
No
world
these
these
given
ive as the sting of a bumble bee on
the hide of a rhinoceros. The sol
emn • warning given by the bench
has as much effect on this gentry
as the falling of the burnt end of a
rye straw upon the Rocky Moun
tains. So far, the forces of law and
order simply are not reaching the
persons whom the legislation is de
signed to regulate. Stop signs are
not heeded, while the speed-limit
law appears to have been made to
be the province’s biggest joke.
Meanwhile, as the authorites
laugh, graveyards- are being fatten
ed and law-abiding folks find the
public highways deathtraps, when
ever these speed fiends, booze in
flamed and reckless of all the de
cencies arid amenities o£ travel,,
take possession of the roads built
by qnd designed for and maintained
by the industrious, the thirty, and
the law-abiding.
■ Will the plain people he goaded
to form vigilance committees and
resort to the terrible alternative of
taking the law into their >own
hands? Nothing is worse for a
commonwealth than its retaining a
law that is openly and flagrantly
and continuously violated.

SOMETHING NEW
A new development in the egg
trade is importation of eggs from
Russia. A number of cases arrived
recently in Toronto and Montreal in
good condition as far as breakage
was concerned, but the eggs them
selves were of rather poor quality.
There were many bad eggs,
most of these which got by
candlers fell into second grade,
the cost delivered at Toronto
24?; cents, and Ontario seconds
obtainable at that price, no
imports from that quartei* are like
ly this season.
Register Now
More accommodation is being pro
vided this year so that everyone
who wishes may enroll but the
Board urges the advisibility of early
registration so that no one may be
disappointed. Miss K. MacFaul, Se
cretary of the Board, has commenc
ed the enrollment and a cordial in
vitation is given to all students of
Exeter High School District to avail
themselves of the excellent facilities
provided here. Those requiring
boarding-house accommodation will
receive every assistance upon appli
cation to the secretary.

THOSE DILAPIDATED
CEMETERIES>
We have many complaints about
the dilapidated nature of many of
our country cemeteries with their
tottering and broken grave stones.
One reason is perhaps the changing
character of the population. Those
sleeping there may not be the fore
fathers of the present community.
The graves of their family success
ors may be severed, far and wide .by
mountain, stream and sea. But if
families change, the community
lives on as a community. It owes
its being to the daring heroism of
those who have gone before. Where
there are no fond ones to care for
the departed, the decent care of
their resting place is a rightful tax
on the municipality, and it should
not cost much to charge someone
with keeping the weeds down and
the stones and fences straight; may
be, if he likes that task, to keep
some flowers there. A neglected
burial ground is but a poor com
pliment to the civilization that
rounds it.
