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

The reeve was equally emphatic that

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
