IN MEMORIAM
WILLIS—In loving memory
dear husband and father,
Willis, who passed away
years ago, June 23.
Somewhere back of the sunset,
Where loveliness never dies,
He lives in the land of glory
With the blue and gold of

And we who have known and loved
him,
Whose departure has brought sad
tears,
Will cherish his memory always,
brighten the- passing years.

SHORTHORN SHOW TO BE
HELD IN EXETER
Mr. Wm. Oestreicher, Crediton,
was in Goderich on Friday last to
interview the County Council re
garding a special grant for the
Shorthorn Live Stock show which
the Exeter Agricultural Society is
purposing to sponsor in connection
with their fall fair and a grant of
$100 was obtained for this project.
This live stock show will be a >two-
day event and will embrace Perth,
Huron, Brant and Waterloo County
Shorthorn breeders’ exhibits. Pre
parations are under way for a pro
vincial show embracing# all the or
ganized clubs within the province,
to meet in Huron County. This show
will be put on in connection with the
provincial plowing match to be held
near Seaforth. Mr. Oestreicher,
president of the Perth, Huron, Wa
terloo and Brant .club, predicts that
these shows will be a boon to our
county, as well as our home fair and
will be worth going a long way to
see. These shows are financed by
the Provincial Live Stock Branch,
Toronto, Shorthorn Breeders’ As
sociation and. the local fair boards.
Approximately $500.00 will be paid
out in prize money at Exeter for
this section alone, and several thou
sand dollars are already allotted
for the Provincial show which is
still in the formation stage. These
undertakings will take a consider

The lads will be in this dis

longer required and after that will
be removed to Northern Ontario
for road-building. For the present
their work is confined to sugar beets
but later they will be available to
any farmer for -weeding onions,

Approve Keeping More Sheep
Endorsation was given to the

Not Suitable Memorial
“We think kitchen equipment or

report of the executive committee
said, referring to a letter from the
hoard of governors of Alexandra

which the above was suggested.
A grant of $300 was voted to the

said Constable Prichett,” and they
agreed that they would so I made
arrangements with Mr. Woods. I
think practically every boy was pre

visited the kitchen where supper
was being prepared. A potato sal

was in preparation. Everything
looked clean and presentable. “We
are a trifle handicapped for cook

Ide. “The stove is small to pro

pretty well.” “How are the meals?”
we asked one of the boys. “Fine,
we get good meals.”
