A dyspeptic must be very careful of
what he eats, but how often something
tempting is placed before' him that he
should not eat, well knowing that, if
he docs lie will suffer for it after, yet
'he does not hesitate to partake freely
of it and tortures himself, "
The quickest way to get rid of this
terrible ailment is to take

The attendance at the South Huron Teachers' Association was
gratifying. The renrarlcs of the Principal of the Exeter High
School produced a healthy reaction In the minds of a. good many
teachers. Here are two gems: "The more lenient we. are in our
school requirments the more lenient we're expected to be." "It is
better to set a fair examination and to mark severely than to set a
stiff examination and to throw marks at the pupils."
Rosy apples are scenting the air, This will mark a good start
in the harvesting of winter varieties. It seems a pity that South
Huron rhouirl. have so many neglected orchards, Improper packing
and the scarcity of shipping Consequent upon the war, are two
causes contributing to the present low level of the oro]iarding en-
terprise.

WONDERING
Uncle Sam is puzzling his grey matter over Ramsay McDonald's
visit to Mackenzie King. Does our .big cousin think for one mom-
ent that because the British, Prime Minister has visited Washing-
ton and New York that he has seen the most important portions of
North .America? Has he any idea that because Britain's first min-
ister has interviewed President Hoover that all has been learned
about public affairs affecting this continent? Canada still has a
right to be heard and she has no intention of asking anybody's per-
mission in regards to her right to consult statesmen or others up-
on any topic whatsoever,' Still less does she believe herself called
upon to tell to all and singular the nature or her conferences upon
her own business matters. By the way, hasn't Uncle Sam been
busying himself with tariff -tinkering, and hasn't that tinkering been
against the interests of one of his best customers, to wit: Jack Ca-
nuck? IC Jack is fixing his business fences Uncle !Sam should not'
worry. All the fiddlers are not in one hall.

HEALING THE OPEN SORE
For scores of years the possibility of war between the United
States and Great Britain. has been the nightmare horror of civiliza-
tion. Appalling as was the regression to savagery consequent upon
the outbreak of the World War, the results of the inception of war
between Great Britain and the United States would mean the ad-
vent of an inferno such as never kindled the imagination of Dante
or of Milton.
Awful as such an event would be, there were scores of wor-
shippers of the dollar who aid all that skill and wealth could do
to bring about this very catastrophe. International jealousy was
encouraged. Distrust was developed. Unenlightened patriotism
was inculcated. The mailed fist was applauded. 'Governments
knelt at the shrines of these potential murderers. Uniformed
voters supported the men who would make cannon food of their
children. Gold -at -any -price men blew their poisoned ,breath upon
press and pulpit. The warrior was made the national hero.
People and ;governments have awakened from this fatal slum-
ber. True, war mongers still try to bribe the press. Their skilled
minions stili seek to bedevil peace conferences and to tune pulpit
and press. Nevertheless, the people and their chosen representa-
tiyes are slowly realizing that the whole is greater than the part
and are sternly warning the war mongers to keep quiet or to get
out. This gentry whose diet is the blood of men is trembling at
the thought of the short shift and the long rope that an enlight-
ened voter is offering him unless he mends his 'evil ways.
Hence the welcome given to the measure of success attending
the efforts put forward recently in Washington. When Uncle Sam
and John Bull ,join hands in the interest of all that civilization
stands for good men breathe easier. The day has come for the
blending of the Union Jack and of the Stars and Stripes fold within
fold and to regard as an enemy of the race any elan who would
put them asunder. With us the United States is heir of Runnymede
and Naseby fight. With them we share the advance towards de-
mocracy won at Bunker Hill. We speak the language of Lincoln
and Washington as they speak the language of Cromwell and Pitt.
Our hearts are warmed by a common blood. We worship the same
God. Together we read Milton and Longfellow and Shakespeare
and Lowell. Our jurisprudence is drawn from a common source.
Why then should we not march together, oppose our common foes
and share in a common good and work for a common end? No
one is deceived into thinking that the mlllenium has ,come. It is
still true that the human heart is deceitful above allthings and
desperately wicked, but it is equally true that the Prince of Peace
will one day conquer the forces of darkness.

The reigii of terror in Usborne

darkly veiled as is .the identity of

ago. Each fall the prowler's

Guesses as to the identity of the
prowler range from the belief that
he is a maniac to the suspicion that
he may be a former resident nurs-
ing some unknown grievance against
his fellow -farmers. There will be
little peace of mind in Usborne un-
til the mystery is cleared away.
Seven Or eight neighbors to Hugh
Berry have been victims of the mys-
tery man's attacks. ,Mower guards
in their grain sheaves have wreck-
ed the machinery of their threshing
outfits, and binder guards skilfully
hidden in wheat and oat stooks. The
guards are light in weight and it is
almost impossible to find them with-
out tearing down the whale sheaf.
Once they are inside the thresher,
the machinery is completely wreck-
ed by the thin iron bars,
The Copeland Assault
The assault on Copeland, who is
well known in this vicinity took
place late Thursday night last, when
he was repairing an auto tube on
the farm of his father-in-law, Nugh
Berry. The prowler crept quietly

slugging hint over the, head with a
blunt instrument, and leaving him
unconscious near the edge of a
woods.
On Monday night of last week a
second visit to the Merry farm was
made by the mystery man, but only
a fleeting sight of him was obtain-
ed as he flitted about the farm.

Horn Bros., Of the tenth line, l's -
borne Pownship, have also been vis-
tiinized by the prowler, who has cut
their harness, smashed n gravel box
and out down a pump, all - ithint the
past few years.
On several 1 sbot'ne farms wire
has been found stretched among the
growing corn, and the teeth of'mow-
ors ttsecl in harvesting the grain have
fell prey to the strategy of the un-
known vandal. Driven to the point
of desperation, fa.i'itiers on seven
oecasfons this autumn have bshrlect
themselves together to hunt down
the prowler, hitt Paoli time be. has
