I. HISTORY The regular meeting of the Exe­ ter's Women’s Institute was held recently at the home of Miss L. M. Jevkel. The new president, Mrs. L. Kyle, presided. The roll call was answered by “Benefits I received by becoming an Institute member.” Several items of business and wel­ fare came up for discussion after which the history of the Women’s Institute movement was presented by the local Institute’s oldest mem­ ber. Mrs. j. W. Powell, who has been a continuous member 34 years. "The first Women's Institute was organized in Saltfleet Township, Wentworth County, on the 19 th of February 1897,” she said, “with a view to meeting the expressed de­ sire to acquire information, which would ensure greater efficiency on the part of the women in the rural sections, in those varied responsibil­ ities resting upon them in the home and as citizens, This branch is now known as the Stoney Creek Institute and has grown from one branch to 1,371 branches with a membership of -42,000. The members have wid­ ened the scope of their activities to embrace improvements, in almost every phase of community and home life.” “Today the name Adelaide Hood­ less. originator of the Women’s In­ stitute idea, is known to thousands of women all over the world. Only about two years ago the W. I. mem­ bers of Brant County erected to her memory an historical cairn on a flower bordered plot, in her birth­ place, the little village of St. George. It was unveiled by Lady Tweeds- muir.” “The Federated W. I. of Canada was organized in 1919, to act as a clearing house for common prob­ lems, and initiated a national pro­ gram. Women’s Institutes or similar organizations are to be found in England, Scotland, Wales, Belgium, Australia. New Zealand and South Africa.” “The Exeter branch was origin­ ated around 19 00 or 1901 by Mrs. Colin Campbell, Goderich. Miss Mararet White now Mrs. F. J. Wick­ wire, was the first president and) Mrs. Al. Hastings, secretary-treasur-. er.” There were fourteen members and eight visitors present. A splendid report was given by Mrs. Hunter who is in charge of the Red Cross work for the Institute unit. It was planned to hold a quilting and sew­ ing for the Red Cross on Monday. June 3rd in the Town Hall. The June meeting is to be held at the home of Mrs. Wm. Hatter. A vote of thanks was extended to the hos­ tess and those taking part in th® program. The meeting closed with “O Canada” and the National An­ them. AVet Spell Rains which continued each day for over a week delayed fanning and gardening operations and at the end of last week it looked as if condi­ tions might be serious. Grass and the spring grains grew rapidly. Bar­ ley. suffered somewhat from the moisture. Farmers are now busy sowing their beans and wheat.

It was grown in the ^garden of Principal E, J. Wethey. [Mr. Wethey has had the roots for [the past seven years and on the , eighth year it is expected that ? double slippers will bloom. It is a .[very beautiful specimen and is the ■ first we ever remember seeing. LAST LAUGH When things go wrong I laugh! It helps to pass the day Though friends are gone I laugh!

I serve people faithfully yet I am an ob­ ject of ridicule. They say that I write poorly. iSo would you if you were used for punching holes in blotters, for spear­ ing desks, for opening envelopes, and were invariably thrown down with violence after being used. They say that I am mussy. Who wouldn’t be if they were dipped over their head in ink? They, say that I am worse than any pen in school or bank. That is because people neglect to tidy me up after I have been of service. And I write big money orders for them, too! They say I have no good points — but patrons are constantly taking me home.
