EXETER, THE VILLAGE!
BEAUTIFUL

It seems too bad that the season
is passing away so rapidly that' we
„ shall not have time to visit nearly
'•all the splendid- gardens In our
beautiful village and even.if we had
it wpuld be impossible to find
space for a fair description,.^! each.
Even now some of these articles
have been written at least 2 weeks
before' the date of publication so
that jf some of our readers visit
these particulars gardens they
Should not be disappointed in not
finding them just as fresh and beau
tiful as they were two weeks ago,
TMs week we wish, to^call your
attention to the great transforma
tion Mr. and Mrs. Bert Harness
have made in the appearance of the
surroundings of their cozy home on
William Street. They purchased this
property ,a few\ years ago and at
once appeared to have laid plans
carefully. For example the boule
vard was' very much lower than the
sidewalk when they entered into
possession of their home. Earth was
.procured to fill thi^ and it took a
large quantity. This new land was
' cultivated carefully for a[ year or
two, then planted to flow'ers which
were kept scrupulously clean of
weeds. Then it was seeded out and
a most beautiful grassy boulevard
is the result. You had better see it.
On the inner side or the sidewalk
a fine border of flowers is seen, ar
ranged without* crowding and yet
close enough to indicate that this
flower-loving couple are heart hun
gry for the space to grow more and
still more flowers. To mention a
f ev^ of the flowers may not be out
jMUlttce for here .are found Moon-
HI^Brs, coreopsis,'gaillardias, mari
golds, columbines, calliopsis, Japan
ese anemone, 'Canterbury bells, sal-
piglossis, red flax, balsam, a great
display of cosmos, gladioli, etc. We
also remember with jileasure Mrs.
'Harness told us that certain ones
were old English plants. Doubtless
tender memories stirred .within her
as she mentioned it. However,, these
are not all' the changes they made,
some old trees and. shrubs were re
moved ’ and a general clean-up of
the garden followed' which is now
very carefully planted and cultivat
ed. It will pay the 'good people of
th,e town to 'keep their eyes on this
corner for many further improve
ments in the years to come.
Adjoining fthem on the Victoria
Street c-orner lives Mr. and Mrs.
John Andrew who have grown a pro
fusion of flowerp for years.’ For
years Mrs. Andrew lias grown flow
ers at the intersection of the, two
streets beyond the sidewalk and this
year the lengthy boulevard stretch
ing across the double lot is planted
with flowers gnoiw(ing luxuriant-'
ly. It is ‘worth seeing. Here are
found such flowers as asters, four
o’clocks, Zinnias, cosmos, French
and African marigolds, gladioli,,
balsams etc. and last but not. least
is “Kiss me over the garden gate.”
The young lady who told us flhls was
very careful to add that she didn’t
mean it" but if we were only young-
. er we should have shown her thUt
we believe she did or dt least ac
cepted it as a challenge.

rloWers and one has to rise very
early in tile morning if one does

.JWE SUGGEST
Would it not be a good thing to-amend the road laws so that
thd farmer, who cuts the weeds in front of his holdings would
be rewarded by a reduction in taxes, wjiile the farmer who fails
--“to do a good job in this line should-'be/uiider the necessity of pay
ing a substantial increase in taxes.
And, by the way it would be good business on the part or
municipalities to allow for a reduction in taxes to the farmer who
reduces the weeds on the farm, premises to satisfactory minimum.

ITS BIRTH
The St. .‘Thomas Times-Journal reminds, us that this month
marks the centdnnary of organized tetotalism as regards alcoholic
drinking as a beverage.
The records show that in September 1832., Joseph Livesey, of
Preston, England, drafted the first pledge of this sort, a pledge
that he and five others signed. His and their action was timely
and greatly needed, for grinding poverty as the consequence of
liquor drinking was terribly ‘evident. Drunkenness was every
where among students, among the rich and poor alike. Everywhere
liquor was proving itself the enemy of everything good. Folk who
talk of the good old days of moderate drinking and who sing the
praises of the saints who drank themselvds into the Kingdom of
Heaven, should beAronest enough to tell the whole truth about the
times and circumstances they seek to glorify.
And the time is again^ripe, very ripe, for a setting of the na
tion’s face against alcoholic beverages, no matter by what innocent
name they may be called or by what influential hand they may be
b,tewed or by what gracious hostess they may be offered. True
' earnest folk have been disappointed by the effect of legislation in
the interest of the control of the ravages of alcoholic beverages. It
is also true that legislation has placed the mark of dishonour where
it belongs. It is equally true that the nature of alcohol as a bev
erage must be recognized and self knowledge and self control en
couraged that the appbtite for this drug shall not be formed. In any case anyzstate is terribly in error when it does anything to
make .it easy for any of its citizens to indulge an appetite whose
influence isjjad and only bad.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Naturally foil are asking if the depression that set in in the
late Autumn oL 1929 is passing away. A far better question is “Is
the normalcy ushered in tn the autumn of 1029 settling down and
likely to remain with us?” For it must be remembered that the
years from 1914 onward, to 1929 were in commerce what jazz is
in music. When looked at In perspective it will be noted that
these jrears were times of excitement and hurry and noise with
little progress, that had in it the elements of permanency. The baby
beat the nurse, Parents were given the place after the canary
and the .cat. It was time of the rule of the young, of the very
young.-. It was the time of experimenting and anything was tried
Experience Went by. the hoard. It was the day of the Wind. Human
values were quite overlooked except in so far as they cduld be
cashed in. Churches were required to be up'-to-date, with the
minister’s value being appraised upon the basis of his. being able
to raise the budget and to be a regular “fella” and a satisfactory
mixer. ' ’ - t
Well, the clock struck twelve,, in 1929 and folk now have- an
opportunity to do ^some thinking. Some ate sitting on the wrong
side of the gate, looking back to opportunities that were not seen
or which were 'wilfully overlooked, but which have (bidden them a
long and .lasting fafaweU. Still dthers»<afe filling the air with
noisy ballyhoo about the “return” of good times while others are
diligently listening to their ejnpty talk. Sensible folk however
seeo in these days with their biting distress and bitter hours of
disillusionment fair, average times wherein the man who is con
servative in his, tastes but progressive in his aiihs may make a liv
ing, and a little more, provided he works hard and exercises fair
judgment.
