At the same time her way of going straight ahead and doing the thing that she wanted to do without apparently consulting anybody but her own counsellors has caused a great many of Canada’s wisest men to ask will life. We attitude gest a serious- study of Russian history in so far as that history exemplifies those qualities that make for progress in all that show her capable of working out her own destiny with wholesome regard for her own good and the welfare of other nations. Every Canadian ought to know something about matters j,o important this very hour. Unless we understand Russia we are but floundering in the dark and dealing in the mer­ est guess work in every effort to carry on with her. Thus we must remember that whether we like it or not we have to get on Let us attempt to do so people. her next move directly affect Canadian suggest therefore, that we avoid the of suspicion of Russia.

Indeed there are a great many of both sexes who seem to have difficulty in boiling water without burning it. Let us re- lute two experiences. The first was when we were invited to visit the breaking of a boom on the river* drive on one of our northern rivers. The logs had been ac­ cumulating and the time had come for their re­ lease. The morning had been cool and crisp and the men had been rushing about with tre­ mendous activity, Great stalwart fellows they were, with their bright red handkerchiefs and colored shirts and trousers neatly fitted into their high corked boots? and now the cook rattled on the dinner pan; away every man hied for dinner, "Come son,, grab your plate and get your snack/* and such a meal as we got—- potatoes3 mealy beyond all telling? a fine big chunk of pork, cooked in cloves in an iron pot with a tremendously heavy lid. Pot and lid and good fresh pork? making a burden that was equal to the strength of cook and cookee. There the pork was exposed on an enormous platter where it was being cut into chunks sufficient for each man, who came up in due order to be supplied and then to pass on to secure a hunk of bread and all the butter lie would want and an enor­ mous helping of tea. As this -was a high day each man was supplied with a good helping of apple pie. What a dinner? nothing in any of the finest hotels ever equals it. The next scene followed the following of our nose next day. We had seen a company of soldiers on the march. With fine courtesy we were invited to share and share alike with our brave defenders. By some good management the camp kitchen of aluminium construction throughout, gasoline heated and perfect in every appointment, had arrived before the soldiers,, and there the cook presided? monarch, of all he sur­ veyed, cutting up carrots into long appetizing strips, preparing vegetables of every kind, some canned and some fresh from the field as avail­ able. Bread and butter there was a plenty? but everywhere there was a cook’s touch that made every part of the food appetizing not only in taste but appearance. What we draw attention to is, that on both river drive and soldiers’ camp, the cook was not only the most useful man, but the most highly paid man in the service, and so it is ever sure to be wherever men or women must attain or maintain a high degree of high physical or mental efficiency. So, my boy, you had better learn to cook for these strenuous days. of n't How good of a morning to meet the spring the day with a .smile on its face. # W A good many farmers are plowing a lone‘ /furrow this season.* * The St. Marys Journal-Argus believes that General Draper? Toronto’s Chief of Police, hit the nail on the head when he declared that if we are to have non-delinquent children we must first have non-delinquent parents. He adds that home is the little world in which the duties of the great world are daily rehearsed. * * « 15 YEARS AGO The night school in Exeter con­ ducted for the past six months by the Wells Academy of London, has been closed far the summer. The school has met with splendid success and it is possible that the Wells Academy will open a day school here in the near future.

Riddell, for 40 years clerk of the Granton United Church Session, was pre­ sented with a script in token of his sterling services to the congre­ gation for nearly half a century. that 50 YEARS AGO The Metropolitan Hotel, which has been conducted by Mrs. Sarah Page for a number of years, ha3 been purchased by Mr. Thos. Oke, who will take possession some time before the 24th inst. We are not surprised that Mr, Ol<e confidently anticipates building up a large busi­ ness, as lie is well known through­ out the country and has had a long experience. We understand Mr. Wm, Page will move to Seaforth. It is now a settled question Exeter is to have a brass band. The past week a subscription list was passed around among our citizens and was met With liberal contribu­ tion. This with what was granted by the Council on Monday night last will enable the “boys" to purchase some new instruments which are needed at once, and have been or­ dered from Toronto. The new banc, is composed of all young men who are likely to remain citizens, which makes good prospects for a perman­ ent organization. A son of Mr. Jerry Heaman, Lon­ don road, sustained severe injuries by falling out of a tree Wednesday. The prospects of the Exeter Cricket Club were never brighter than they are for the coming sea­ son. Several new members have joined and with a little piish on’the part of the committee and secretary the club should make a good show. DIED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Mrs. Arthur Coxworth, of Hen­ sail, received word Thursday of last week of the death of her husband, Arthur Coxworth, at Kelowna, B.C. Surviving besides his wife are one son, Mervyn, of the London police department; one daughter, Mrs. Thomas Suitor, Montreal; two sis­ ters, Mrs. A. Scrutitt, Hensail, Miss Olive, of Michigan, and brother, Walter, of Michigan. Thu funeral was held at Kelowna.

The guide book says that there is a fork in the road just about here. o • • * Please don’t rush to the telephone It’s a natural impulse to reach for the telephone to pass the word along —to “talk it over” with somebody. But if we all did that, telephone service would be disrupted—tied up. Public services essential to our health and safety depend on the telephone. Every minute of the day, messages of urgent importance are going through and should not be delayed. Please use your telephone for essen­ tial calls only . . . especially when big news 44])reaks”. In the critical months ahead,, recurrent rumours may tempt you to telephone newspapers, radio stations, friends. Please don’t do it. Until the last shot is fired, and even after, telephone lines will have a heavy load to carry. Help to keep them clear for vital messages. i Jk E ROLFE, Manager. liiiini iWi'iumaiMi^ii—
