CONSTABLE ORDERED NEW AND OLD TIME DANCE be of TO EJECT COUNCILLOR The Warble Fly Menace In the Exeter Opera House THURSDAY, MARCH 15th and How to Prevent It Music by Murdock Orchestra W. Hodgert, Floor Manager ADM.—Gents 25c.; Ladies 15c. To erradicate the Warble Fly, or Heel Fly, as it is more commonly called, completely from any district, it is essential that every stock-owner dress his cattle for a few seasons. At the same time Canadian cattlemen have proved that the use of Cooper’s Warble Fly Powder pays big dividends even if used on only one herd in the community. One farmer writes: “I consider it worth while at all times to use Warble Fly Powder whether other herds in the community are treated dr not; cattle feed better, thrive better and the flow of milk larger.” Many communities are clubbing together to combat this pest. If your section has not done so as yet, why not arrange a meeting to discuss this at once? 1 pound of Cooper’s Warble Fly Powder will heat 25 cattle for the necessary treatments. First treatment should be given about 15th March. We are giving a special price to introduce B'e powder at 80c. lb. Larger quantities for community work still cheaper. “OUR TOWN” In South Huron, there is a little town, Of which we’re very proud; Which scorns to asik1 for charity Though others do in voices loud. They call upon the Government, Without a thought of what ’twill mean; When governments are bankrupt too Not far away, to me it. seems. The present moment is to them, A certain chance to gather gain; To save them pennies but there is the lose Of spirit, life and name. But Exeter quite chivalrous, Decides with cheer to bear her load To save her soul, with head erect While travelling down the narrow road.

There was a storany session of the municipal council on Monday even­ ing and at one time during a heated discussion the reeve called upon the constable to eject a member of the council from the council chamber. The reeve relented, however, before the order was carried into effect and the member was allowed to retain his seat. The dissension took place when the Reeve introduced the ques­ tion of applying for government re­ lief, in accordance with a motion passed at a recent public meeting of the citizens. One of the councillors intimated that the public meeting had been called to tell the citizens what a good fellow the reeve was and what bad boys the councillors were. The councillors were all agreed that the matter of govern­ ment relief had not come up for dis­ cussion at any and they had upon to take any action previous meeting when a statement had been presented for' signature. The reeve was equally emphatic that it had and called upon some of the spectators who had been present at other meetings to verify his state­ ments.. It was also stated that some of the insinuations made by the reeve at the public meeting were absol­ utely false. "Absolutely” came a chorus of voices from around the council table. The discussion got beyond debate with heated re­ partee until finally the reeve ordered that one of the members be ejected i as a disturber. At the close of the I relief question the spectators were I asked to withdraw wnile the conn- ■' cil discussed some other matters. A warm discussion among some of the spectators was carried into the street council meeting not been called until the HEAD-ON COLLISION Ratepayer Tho condition of Mi’s. N.
