IN hlEMPRIAM CALDWELL—In loving memory of our dear wife and mother, who passed away one year ago, De­ cember 5, 1930. We watched iher suffer day by day, It caused us bitter grief; T-o see her slowly pine away And could not give relief. We sat beside her bedside, And watched her pass away; And prayed to God the long hours through That He might let her stay. • Her weary hours and clays of pain, Her troubled nights are passed; And in our aching hearts we know, She has found sweet rest at last. • Ever remembered by Husband, Sons and Daughters.

She was a dear, good mother, iSo patient, so kind, so" true; There was a cloud, But she.saw the sunlight through Sometimes when-we think of mother She seems to be so near; That we can hear her clear voice saying, ‘Don’t grieve, children, I am here’ Death cannot divide us from mother Nor sever the cords of love; She is just resting, sweetly in Jesus In the beautiful home above. Perhaps if we could know, The reason why she went; We’d smile and wipe away the tears Of love, and wait content. Sadly missed by her loving. Husband and family.

EXETER The kind that brings cheer to the heart of the one who gives as well as the one who receives. THE EXETER CREAMERY’ CO., LTD. ISSUES A STATEMENT Upon urgent requests and after* due consideration Exeter Creamery Co. Ltd., decided to issue a state­ ment in regard to certain newspaper publicity recently given the com­ pany. The facts are these: In September one churning only from Winchelsea Creamery and none from the Exe- tery Creamery was found by an In- pection to contain excess moisture. This churning according to the test made at the Creamery was within, the legal standard and was sent out in good faith. On request of the company, the’ butter was released by the Inspect­ or, brought back and re-worked to comply with legal standards before, again being .offered for sale. In checking up to find the cause of the trouble, it was found that the moisture-test scales at. Winchel­ sea were not weighing accurately. They were immediately repaired. This butter was made as usual. No water was added. There was no fraud in the transaction. No one was wronged. .The transaction was not intentional and under the cir­ cumstances could not, very well, have been avoided. 'On November 4th the Company was charged with infringement of Sec. 63 -of the Dairy Industry Act and on November 24th was fined. The fine was paid. The officials of Company sincere­ ly appreciate the expression of con­ fidence received from Creamerymen, patrons, cutomers and many other friends at this time. “ WEDDING ANNIVERSARY On Tuesday -of this week the home of Mr. and Mrs, John Essery* was the scene of a very happy event when they celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
