Senior, SER IOUSI A IN J u RED and Agri- coun- Fair basis Clerk; WHEN GASOLINE EXPLODES While in the- act of rekindling a fire at the home of her son, Thomas Brock, of Usborne, Mrs. Brock, of Exeter, was seriously burned about the face and arms when a gasoline can exploded early Saturday morn­ ing. Mrs. Brock has been in the habit of using a little coal oil to as­ sist in starting the fire and Satur-, day morning she picked up in error a can containing only a small amount of gasoline. The fire had already been lit but was not burning very well and the moment the gasoline touched the hot embers there was an explosion. Two panes of glass were broken in the kitchen window. The ©ncfjS were blown out of the can and die can flattened out straight. Mrs, Brock nyas burned abo,ut the face, one cheek being badly burned as aDo was one hand. Dr. Fletcher was called and the patient was removed to his hospital in towji where she is getting along as well as can be ex­ pected. SERIOUSLY ILL The many friends of Mrs. V. Mol- lard, who is so well known through­ out this community, will regret to know that slie is suffering from pneumonia and as we go to press we understand she is in a very crit­ ical condition. UNDERWENT OPERATION t CHACTAPQU4 GREATLY ENJOYED BY LARGE CROWDS The Canadian Chautauqua Festi­ val has visited Exeter and has left behind a host of enthusiastic ad­ mirers, The Festival was an un­ qualified success from start to finish. Large and enthusia’stic audiences greeted the different performers and the patrons were loud in their praise of each and every group of enter­ tainers. After each entertainment we heard the remark from someone that that particular program was worth to them the price of the seas­ on ticket. The committee responsible for the festival have a splendid sur-. plus and a contract has been signed to bring Chautauqua to Exeter again next season. On Fridaj- evening the opening play “The Patsy” made a decided hit with the big audience. On Sat­ urday afternoon and evening the Petrie Quintette with Miss Constance Neville-Johns, the talented Austra­ lian singer, provided the program, To say that the audience was de­ lighted is putting it mild as most of those present were simply carried away with the excellence of the pro­ gram. The same might be said of the Monday and Tuesday evening programs. The Cutler-Austin ar­ tists, with Miss Austin, violinist cap­ tivated the audience, while Dr. Teliyi Hsieh, one of the -leading figures of the new China, appealed to many as perhaps the outstanding feature of the Chautauqua. He has a beauti ful finished English; is full of wit and humor and makes you see and appreciate China from a more en­ lightened viewpoint. At the con­ clusion of the program Dr. Hsieh gathered around him a host of ad­ mirers particularly among the boys and girls who asked him many ques­ tions. The closing program was the hilariously funny play “Give ■ and Take” which kept the audience in an uproar of laughter. Miss Lovell, who had charge nf the festival,, by her charming man­ ner made many friends in Exeter.

Dear Friends and Neighbors of Centralia. Your very kind and thoughtful?, a’ct in presenting ns with a Colemant lamp will long be 'remembered by us, especially fn view of the fact that it has come from those - most dear to us- and with1 whom it ha»> been a pleasure to associate with past years. We take this opportmi* ity of thanking you most sincerely and extend to one and all a ’cordial welcome to our new home at all times. Signed Mr. and Mrs. W* J. singing of companiecl Wilfong. At the evening service Mr. Doyle took for his subject ‘‘What Shall I Do then with Jesus which is called Christ.” There are three great ques­ tions young people are called upon to answer, What shall bo their oc­ cupation; wh’o shall ho their life­ partner and the question in tho text. In this day of pessimism as to the future of our young people it is possible to see only the tragedies. There never was a time when moral tragedy was more swift. It is fool­ ish to think that this is a normal Sge for youth. Moving pictures and present day literature and the pres­ ent day dance have had a demoraliz­ ing effect. In spite of these tremen­ dous handicaps we are living in a wonderful day. people bending Mrs. Chas. Dayman, of Usborue, was taken to Victoria Hospital, Lon­ don, on Friday of last week and on Monday underwent an operation.

The en­ gine backfired, and the crank strik­ ing Miss Smith on the right wrist dislocated the bones. The accident occurred opposite Dr. Fletcher’s of­ fice where the injured member was attended to. Miss Smith was later taken to London l’or an X-ray amination. We see the young ing every effort to make and keep the country clean. It was the young people who banded them­ selves together to fight the liquor traffic. Young people are seriously concerned about the attitude towards moral questions. Pilate washed Ills hands at the trial of Christ, but it made him none the less responsible. IVe are all responsible for our ac­ tions and any bargains in which we choose self satisfaction, wealth or social position and let Christ go is a bad bargain. There is no substitute for righteousness. Fivill beWill DC vvuitj mu vuxy puoi uvui Ladies "in Exeter and the laijge audiencespeaker Quartette will/urnish music.
