FORMER WARDEN PASSES William McQuilin, West Wawa- nosh and a former warden, of Huron County, passed away last week in his. 74th year. Four sons and two daughter survive. i The Late William Grigg Merchant Tailor Most, men who know their business at all are about 90 per cent, right. The high’steppers are those who make u-p in the other 10 per cent. This is a fact worth cudding on. ********* THE WAITER Wo noted a man’s corn and root patch that is a mess. He waited till everything was just right before getting busy with cul­ tivator and hoe. **•**♦♦♦ A GOOD SORT We note a farmer who iput up a new barn this summer. Before the structure was in place .one week, it was covered with a coat of good paint. That farmer knows ‘his business. ******** We saw a lady 75 years of age shaking hay in the hayfield. Meanwhile there were a few odd hundred trekkers nursing an imag­ inary grievance to keep it warm. This same lady will be taxed next winter to feed these same worthies. We have a great way cf doing •things. ******** QUEER We heard of a farmer who fed a man the other day. The farmer’s wife had blistered her hands in the hay field. The baby had been .cradled in the field all forenoon. The farmer had been working since 4 a.m. The man this farmer fed was one of the un­ employed trekking a grievance to Ottawa. ****** * ABOVE THE AVERAGE And now for fall wheat ‘harvesting. ’ The crop this year is away above the average. It is pre-eminently worth harvesting. Every head is good. Why should not the youngers be out gleaning heads and raking them together with the good old fashioned handra'ke? Every head this year, that iis every wheat head wll provide a young chicken with a good breakfast. ******** THIS REUNION Exeter is going to have a reunion of its old time citizens. The town has provided good entertainment and a good time is expected But there will be no open town. If there is the authorities will be held to strict accountability. The authorities have in their hand ways an means of keeping the town orderly day and night. 9 0 per ■cent, of the people expect ‘them to do so. The remaining 10 per cent, simply do not count when it comes to making go this or any other town. The fact that we are having a reunion does not mean that British law is given a vacation. Exeter, just now is in the limelight. A STATEMAN’S PROBLEM If Mussolini requires all that war equipment to trim a few Ethiopians, what preparations would he need to face the broom bridage of the Exeter Eligible Maidens? ■Whatever else may be said of Italy’s war on Ethiopia, it is a very wicked undertaking that will be visited one day with a terrible vengeance. Even Mussolini who, has exalted himself so> (far above all that is good will find that ‘his sin will find him out. That is as sure as death. The stones in the field, the sands by the seasihore and the stars in their course ultimately fight against and grind to powder the doer of an unjust act. The mills: of the gods grind slow­ ly but they grind exceeding small. God is (patient but His arm is long and His hand very 'heavy. ******** READY TO BITE There are a number of folk abroad who* have nice political hooks .provded with the most enticing baits 'thereon you ever saw in your life. These men have met in nice little private gatherings where they have been given the nicest sales’ talks that ever tickled the ears of the ever-willing listener. These men 'have been told one way and another just how to approach the voter with the “line of talk’’ that will win his listening ear. “Oh, but that sort of thing is only fooling, the people. They’ll catch us when the cat is. out of the bag” the decent candidate protests, “Yes”, the wily one replies “pussy will be at liberty after the election. You will be elected by that time and you’ll be enjoying a neat little salary and no end of other good things. Long before another election comes on we’ll have another bag and another pussy. So go to it in our way or get off the map. We’re out to win.” This election business is a great game, oh my yes. FORMERLY OF HURON Word has been received of the death by drowning of Vincent Pat­ rick Murphy, a prominent lawyer, of Humbolt, Sask., Mr. Murphy’s boat capsized while ;ho with his four chil­ dren were out for a ride.

FORMER USBORNE MAN IN CRASH AT GODERICH The front of a car driven by Wal­ ter Hern, Goderich shoeman, was badly smashed Saturday morning when it crashed into- the .rear of a truck on Salford Hill. ‘Mr. Hern was following closely behind the truck, driven by Mr. Blackman, Walkerton when the truck stepped at the en­ trance to a narrow overhead bridge which was occupied by a car. Mr. Hern was unable to stop in time to avoid the crash, which resulted in damaged fenders, headlights, radia­ tor and bumpers on his car. Mr. Hern and a passenger escaped injury. The Late Clias. H. SaiulerM For many years Editor of the Exeter Advocate Don’t Neglect Your Kidneys Don’t Endanger Your Health Disordered kidneys aro too important to ignore. It is well, therefore, to deal with even minor irregularities promptly. Ono should keep careful watch of the kidneys and assist them .when signs of disordered kidney action persists. When nagging backaches exist, when tod fre­ quent calls to empty the bladder take place, it is well to take prompt measures. For 50 years Doan’s Kidney Pills have been recommended id these con­ ditions. They stimulate tho activity of the kidneys and assist them in. freeing the system of poisonous matter. If troubled, why hot give Doan’s Kidney Pills- a trial?
