Editor Has The Courage
\Guelph Mercury)
The editor of the Stratford Beacon,
is the latest to join the advocates of a
rice diet, He says;
"Many people say they do not like
rice, but the reason for this in numer•
ous oases is' that they are not provided
with palatable rice dishes. House•
wives do not know how to prepare
them,"
This is a good trail the Beacon man
is etarting to beat. We feel quite tom•
petent to tell the geverhment how to
run the country, or the Allies how to
run the war, or the city cauneii how o
run the city, but we never had the

,The young ofli er referred to, spor t
three of hie twenty-two summers in
Canada, visiting his relations, Mr. B.
W. Simpson, Mr. Jot n Simpson and
Mrs, Henry of Whitechurch, together
with Mre. Musgrove and Mrs. Greer of
Wingbam. When the war broke out
he left Aberdeen University, with
many of bis fellow etudents, to train
f r military service. Last year his
regiment, the Seaforth Highlanders,
was ordered to Mesopotamia to assist
the army then operating up the Tigris.
'At the taking of Kut•E1-Amara, on
Feby 22, this young soldier met his
death while on duty as bombing offic-
er,
Since this sad event a letter has been
received from the Oolonel of his batta-
lion by his mother in Aberdeen who
allows ue to quote the details of the
manner in which her gallant son lost
his life as told by his superior officer
in far -away Mesopotamia:-
"Shortly after he joined ue here he
was appointed bombing officer to the
battalion. He trained our bombers
most thoroughly and efficiently and
had charge of all the arrangements
down to the minutest derail. When
we got our old:'rs to attac c Sannaiyet
lsr a Tang. ;1 int' nil the pat t'es and

the Tu,kieh tr,ncbes. 1Ue went over
with the first wave of the assault at
1") a,m. and in a few minutes we were
in the Turks 1st and 2ad lines and his
parties were working on our flanks.
While blocking the main Turkish
trench on our right flank most of the
party he was with were either killed
or wounded, he, himself, took the
place of the bayonet men who protect
the men who make the block of sand-
bags, and it was while doing this that
he was mortally wounded, and he died
shortly afterwards. He Ied his mon
most gallantly, and he contributed
very materially to the great success
that day, as the result of which our
trooper took the position, captured gut -
El -Amara, and won the battle,
He is deeply regretted by all of us.
He was a charming companion and a
most gallant and capable officer. He
is buried in the rear of our lines at
Sannaiyet in a cemetery and his grave
is marked and registered,"
Brotherhood Poots the Buil
A further sequel to Dr. Minifie'e
visit to Walkerton developed last week
when it became known that the Doc-
tor had neglected to pay a bill of $65
at the County Hospital for services to
his deceased wife. Mr. John Rowland
who had full assurance by letter frcln
the Brotherhood Headquarters at Tor-
onto, in January, that Dr. Minifio
was "alright” and was acting for them,
wrote the Secretary of the Brother-
hood at Toronto, last week explaining
the circumstances and received a reply
under date, May lath: ''Dr. Mini&e
was not employed by us, was simply
working temporarily under our aus-
pices. Since the end of March he does
not etand related to ue at all." The,.
letter added that the Brotherhood
executive had decided to pay the Hos-
pital account.
The importance Of Higher Education
Dr. E. E. Braithwaite, President of
Western University, London, visited
the High School last Thursday and
spoke to the,etaff and pupils on "The
importance of Higher Education,"
He urged that a far greater number
of young people should aim to secure
a ,university education as statistics
amply prove that a vast majority of
the highest positions in the country,
both in Oanada and the United States
are occupied by those who have a
university training. This is the more
Normal important noWas the
N mal attend-
ance at all the h Universities has been
be n
reduced to such small proportions by -
enlistment. It has special force . for
Western Ontario, too, as this part of
the province has recently been sending
a smaller percentage of its high school
pupile to the universities titan other
districts.
President Braithwaite also showed
that it was no longer necessary for our
young people to go a great distance
for a good university training, as the
institution which he represented has
had such a rapid development the last
few years as to be quite transformed,
The Faculty has been greatly strength-
ened by the addition of a large number
of professors of the highest scholarly
attainments such as would do honor to
any inetitution of higher learning.
The laboratories are now complete Ind
thoroughly up-to•date. The libraries
have been greatly enlarged and a new
two hundred acre site secured, which
is unequalled by any university in
Eastern Canada.

Same Price As to Whigham
Although flour dropped about $3.00
a barrel within the past two weeks,
bread in Walkerton, was raised from
10a to 12e per small loaf in town ou
Monday last. It seem that when Hour
reached its greatest height eome two
weeks ago, the bakers in the surround.
ing towns boosted the price of a small
loaf to 12c, but the Walkerton baker e,
held oft: and retailed it at 101, to which
they had just raised it a short time
previoue. Ono of the local dough
mixers informed us that they were
holding breaddown to 10c here to see
how things would go, and when flour
took the 53 00 drop we thought the
oriole had passed and weren't at all
prepared for the 12a tthock that we got
on Monday, however as the baker'e
Halm they are not making a very fat
margin at the present price, it would
seed that the )onsurer will have to
wait for another substantial drop In
