They do some very interesting manoeuv- ring, including the musical ride, relay racing, high jumping and wrestling, all on horseback.

ASSESSMENT FIGURES. Population Shows Decrease, but Assess- ment Was Taken at Unfavorable Tune. The assessment roll for I1)17 shows o slight decrease in the total valuation from the figures of 1916. There is a decrease also in the population, the figures for this year being 4,553, com- pered with 4,655 last year. The as- sessment was made in the early part of the ;year and wince then there has been a considerable in- crease in thepopulation owing to the improveindustrial con- ditions.

Besides his wife, be leaves one son, Fred, who is with • forestry battalion In Scotland, and one daughter, Beatrice, at borne. Pte. Arnold enlisted early in the war with the 18th Battalion, going overseas with the late Major Sale. He was thirty-eight years of age. The widow and children have the sympathy of the people of Gude- rich In their great loss. Mr. H. H. Beckett, of Brantford, formerly of Goderich, on Monday last receive(i>lthe sad intelligence that his son, Lieut. A. A. Be-_krtt, bed been killed in action on August 15th. Lieut. Beckett was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Beckett and was twenty years of age on July 20th. He enlisted with the 215th Ii.tialior., trained at Nia- gara and went over with a special draft of officers., He had been at the trout for some time. The young hero had a brilliant ecbool career, but in- stead of going on to the Uni.ersity he decided that his duty was at the tl'ont. The bereaved parents will have the sympathy of all their old friends and acquaintances in Goderich in the loss of their heroic son. Owing to his nerves playing out, Flight -Lieut.

THE FOOD REGULATIONS. Goderich Hotel -keepers Would Like To Have Official Instructions, Goderich hotel -keepers are trying to keep in line with the instructions of Mr. Hanna, Dominion Food Con. troller, but in the abeende of any direct communication from the Con. troller's office they are at a loss to know what is req tired of them. All the guidance thehave is what they see in tbe city papers -a very uncer- tain and ind'rect method of procedure on the part c4 the Food Controller, we should say.11 In o genet& way, the hotel -keepers understand that they are not to serve beef and bacon on Tuesdays and Fri- days. One hotel -keeper says that fish is a very unsatisfactory substitute and is harder to procure than beef, and if more is cooked than is needed that day it le wasted, whereas beef can be kept and served next day. Other hotel- keepers say they can procure fleh quite readily and that it is cheaper than meats, though they have to provide chicken and latub as alternates. An- otber man serves veal and fresh pork, though it is claimed that lamb and veal should be prohibited and the meat allowed to develop into mutton and beef. Another cense of complaint is that boarding-houses are not placed under the same regulations, and the hotel - keepers, who keep a good many regu- lar boarders, are •tat a disedvdtage by reason of having to refuse their guests beef and bacon two days a week, while the man who petronizesa board - Ing -house can get these meats any day of the week. On the whole, the botel.keepers show a strong disposition to live up to the regulation., but they think, reasonably enough, that official instruc- tions should be issued directly to them, Ito ;that they might know definitely wbat the regulalations are.

At a special meeting of the Red Crone collectors who make the month- ly collections for the various wards in town, called by the executive for the purpose of reorganisation for the year, it was learned there were a consider- able number in the aggregate who were neglecting to keep up the amounts originally subscribed to the monthly fund or wbo were not con- tributing anything to same. I wish respectfully to call the attention of the friends of the Red Cross Society, who contributed in the earlier months of the war, and oleo of those who have not yet contributed to the funds, to the fact that the needs of the Society are greater than ever. The amougts contributed from individuate range from five cents per month to five cents per week and upward. It is most fervently hoped we are in the last stages of this awful wee, but be- fore it is finished there is bound to be more frightful carnage among our brave men at the front, who, we sbould not for a moment forget. are fighting for our individual protection and liber,in, against a superlatively cruel a.ilarbarous foe. Any amount con- tributed monthly is thankfully accept• ed, and is bound to lessen the suffer- ings of our wounded soldiers or contri- bute to their comforts, directly or indirectly. Our Red Cross Society here is exceedingly anxious that there should he no slackening of the month- ly contributions. it is hoped, there- fore, that when the collector in your ward again calls upon you you will be able to see your way to assist in the good work along with those who are faithully, and no doubt with a good deal of self-sacrifice, making their monthly contributions. r R.
