The locals are the only unbeaten team in the league. The home boys socked the old pill around lustily in the first inning, to bring in six runs. They added two more in the second and sixth and one in the seventh.. Dinney on the mound was right in form and only allowed two runners to reach home, Finkbeiner in the sixth and Wein in the seventh. Eagleson allowed but two hits, but was wild, allowing four bases on balls and his teammates commit­ ted nine errors. The local infield­ ers displayed some snappy balW handling and looked much the bet­ ter of the two.

While many cities and towns have been suffering from a shortage of meat, particularly beef Exetex* has been well supplied. This is due to the fact that Mr. Rivers, butcher, has his own supply of cattle and pigs.x It is not possible, now, as it has been previously, to secure an unlimited supply from the wholesalers. Beef is practical­ ly unobtainable and 90 per cent of the pork is destined for overseas. Exeter, too, has always enjoyed a favorable outside trade. Last Sat­ urday evening ten parties from Lon­ don and others from Thedford and Parkhill purchased their meat in town. Undex* the present situation it is not possible to supply the de­ mand for the choicest cuts and our citizens should appreciate the fact that they are able to secure beef in any form. Yoxir co-operation j will be appreciated by the butcher at -this time as it would possibly be more profitable for him to sell beef on the hoof rather than over counter. a heart condition, found by his son, John, in barn behind their mortuary IN JURED PARKHILL BOY IS IN LONDON HOSPITAL the INTERESTING PICTURE OF EXETER CATHEDRAL Many persons have stopped to look at the picture of the famous 800-year-old Exeter’ cathedral that has been on display. in the office window of the Times-Advocate. The picture was placed there following the bombings which took place over Exeter, England, about two weeks ago. The blast of bombs shattered nearly every window in the stately building and a direct hit was scor­ ed on the south choir aisle. The whole south wall was affected and two buttresses were blown out. Quite a^number of our citizens have vis-; ited this famous cathedral, Mr. ter of tei* from Canada and at a banquet con­ veyed the greetings from Exeter, Canada, to Exeter, England. They were shown the flag hanging in the Guildhall that was presented to Exeter from the school children of Exeter, Canada. Now the sugges­ tion has been made that a contri­ bution might well be made from Exeter, Canada, to alleviate some of the suffering 'or help in some way- to repaix’ the damage caused by the bombing, * The Trivitt Memorial church, of town, was patterned, af­ ter a manner, from the Exeter .cath­ edral.
