He complain­ ed of a soreness in his side and when a couple of days later he felt a sudden sharp pain near the sgme spot he was examined by Dr. Flet­ cher who found that he had fractur­ ed a rib, On Monday he climbed a cherry tree to pick some cherries and some time later he was found lying beneath the tree in an uncon­ scious condition with a limb of the tree across his body and the pail of cherries upset nearby.

Who Will Be “Miss Exeter” The contest to select a “Miss Exe­ ter” is fast drawing to a close “Miss Exeter” will represent Exeter in a great pageant which will be one of the big features at the Old Home Week in London early in August. She will act as a princess to “Miss London” who is to be queen of the pageant, in which 1,000 persons will take part. Ten municipalities are selecting a lady to represent them. The contest to select “Miss Exeter” has created considerable interest right from the start. The young ladies were nominated by the mer­ chants of Exeter who are giving away one vote with each 25p. purchase, It is now narrowing down to a few con­ testants who are fairly close in the running and with the ballots that are now out and those which may be secured during the remainder of the week might easily make a big difference in the final showing. The lucky lady will receive $25 to defray her expenses while in London. The first names mentioned are according to the standing up to Tuesday night. The remainder of the names are placed in alphabetical order.

When one thinks benefits this will mean to the child­ ren from homes where holidays at lakesides are out of the question, yet every mild should be given its chance to learn to swim. Adult lives have been saved from knowing how to swim when young. This proposition should appeal to every Exeter family and all should try to helip. it along in the way of volunteer work), for volunteer work could easily be made use of and I will be glad to start the list with 3 days work or $5.00 in cash if the tank is started this summer. If the tank was built this summer other final details could be added* next spring and when once started 1 feel different societies would want to do their share in this great bene­ ficial idea.
