Spray early, as soon as possible after the larvae hatch, with Paris green, 1 lb. in 100 gallons of water, to which is added 1 lb. of fresh lime. if the spraying is delayed until the caterpillars become nearly till grown, they are much more difficult to kin, The egg MaSSeS should always be sought for carefully during the winter and burnt, and a sharp lookotit should be kept at the time the young caterpillars hatch so that they may be destroyed when they gather together in clusters after feeding, eith- eri n a web or in the case of the Forest Tent caterpillars on the side of a branch.

Adjourmictent.-Carried, Mover W. J. Carling. J. Grigg, Sec'y, Terilpire Hay. Wednesday of last week was a his- toric day at the Exeter Public Sehool, It was a day set apart by the Provin- cial GOvermnent for ehe teaching of patriotism to young Canadians, known as EinPire Day. The morning hours were devoted to the reading of EsstiyS and the singing of National songs to- gether with addresses breathing loyal sentiments. The various rOOMS were tastily- decorated with flags and flow- ers. Sharp at 2 o'clock the fire bell rang out and 350 pupils promptly re- sponded, making a safe exit from the building in the short space of 1 e minu- tes. The unique ceremony of floating the new Union Jack over ' the school building was conducted by Dr. Rollins and N. D. Hurdon, the entire body of pupils saluting the flag and singing "The Red White and Blue." The hundreds of citizens and visitors pre- sent, led by the Exeter. Brass Band, now repaired to the sellool lawn which was tastefully arranged in true picnic style. A raised platform, embowered in bunting and flowers awaitedthe speakers. Mr. S. J. Boyd, the prin- cipal Of the SCh001, to shoe untiring efforts were due the success of the de- monstration, spoke briefly but elo- quently of the object of the celebra- tion and eallecl upon Mr. H. E. Hus- ton, fks l'epvesentative of the Trustee Board to act as Chairman. The, fol- lowing speakers took their place on the platformr-Revs. Brown and Mar- tin Henry Eilber, M.P.P. Dr. Lutz and L. H. Dickson, delivered approp- riate - addresses. These were inter- spersed with singing, calisthenici; and marching by the pupils. The literary part of the program was followed by a band concert and games of bask -et ball and lacrosse. The large numbers present and the keen appreciation manifested in the entire program prov- ed that Empire Day will be welcome as a new National holiday. The 'busi- ness men showed their sympathy with the departure by closing their stores. The following verses were read by Mr. Hurdon on the raising of the flag. In the name of the Queen we are rais- ing The Empire's flag to -day, A name all children are praising, On this the Empire Day. Tomorrowher birthday cometh, 'Tis her eighty-first one I ween, Another old age a monarch beloved, Such as our own dear Queen.

It is Great Britain, her colonies and posses- sions. To show the extent of the Em- pire take, for example, the Queen's birthday. As the day breaks in ,the British Isles, the centre of the vast Empire, the Queen receives the joyous greetings ofher court and people. Be- fore they have ended their greetings all Canada is awake. These loyal sub- jects join in singing "God Save the Queen" and before the last echoes have died away the New Zealanders takcalp the song. One hour later dawn breaks on Australia, and Tasmania. Then the strains are carried by the busy mer- chants of Hong Kong to the millions of India. Almost at the same tine the people of Cape Colony and Natal join in the refrain and before Malta ceases the sun again smiles on Windsor Cas- tle and the guards know that "God Save the Queen" has travelled with the sun around the Globe. Of all Britain's colonies Canada is the greatest. Canada was not always what she now is. The British North America or Confederation Act first gave the country the name as well as the rights and privileges which she now enjoys. In the year 1867 the lie- rninion consisted of only four PY0V- inces. As does a child, Canada began to grow from its birth both in size and in riches. Manitoba, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, together withnine districts, have been added since then. We hope Canada has not .finished growing, as we wish to see Nelkfrainclisred admitted into the 'Un- ion before nitilry'yeans. The bounda- ries of Canada are extelded. Now on the West the mighty waves of the Pa- cific lash the shore; and on the ,golden sands of the Eastern coast the Atlan- tic ebbs and flows and the ice bound Artie fetters the Northern shore. ' The productive soil, the forest with its wealth of timber; the lakes and rivers abounding in the most valuable fish and the untold riches of the mines, make Canada a home of plenty. Being so advantageously situated, she has an enormous lipping trade with the var- ious countries, and in the interior she has an unrivalled railway system. Surely Britain could not do withont Canada's help. Britain must have Canada's grain, dairy, produce, timber and fruit. These are not all of Cana- da's resources from which she derives her wealth. Many millions of dollars are poured into her coffers from her minerals. Her canals and waterways are being developed. Her trading fa- cilities are fast becoming nearly per- fect. During the last few years Canada has made gigantic strides in the Edu- cational world. , Universities, high schools and public schools are doing good work in educating our young men and women and each year literary and scientific fame is increa,sieg. With higher education we see the develop- ment of strong national feeling. The love which each citizen bears to the mother country has been shown in the sending of our soldiers to the battle- field to fight side by side with Eng- laend's best soldiers for true justice. Granada's future depends largely on herself. She will forge ahead. She is at present the gem of the Crown and will become still greater for Canadians can make her so. Here in this Christian land of ours, where every man is- free to follow Inc own religion, prosperity and growth are bound to follow. Here lies the key note to Canada's increasing develop- ments. As long as she continues to set aside one day out of seven to praise the Giver of all her blessinge, she will have strength. May God keep Cana- da, our hotne, free from the itij vices of Sin.

Orange News, Cal.--yIsewis Thorne, an old and dear friend of the 'editor of the New and well-known to many of the citizens of Orange, dieda t his home on 2Sth street, Los Angeles, Monday afternoon, in his 48th year. He had been it sufferer for a number of years with heart diseaseefrom which he died.41 after confinement to his room for en' two weeks. Mr. Thorne was an Eng- lishman by birth. Ile came to Cali- fornia from Canada- about 15 years ago,and made his home at Los Angeles. During the boom he invested largely with associates in, Orange property, purchasing the Palmyra, Thorne, Rita and Angelinn tracts, and personally the lots on the plaza upon which the News office stands; in all but the latter of which he disposed of his interest several years ago. He was an active helper, in the organization of the Orange Building and Loan Association. During his career in Los Angeles he was very active in 'business affairs. For many years he was secretary of the Columbia Loan and Building As- sociation, and also of the Sixth Dis- trict Agricultural Association, both of which institutions owe their success largely to his energy and ability. He has been largely interested in gas and -electric lighting enterpaises and lately had become a director of one of the Los Angeles banks. He was a Knight Templar. For several years he inter- ested himself greatly in the A. 0. For- esters of America., which order showed its appreciation by electing him to the office of Supreme Chief Ranger. He espoused the Republican side in poli tics and at the time.of his death was secre- tary of the leading organization of that party in the city. He was a man of great energy and had the faculty of peeeniiiga gieat.de270f,iV,.4;,i,2.;!gigntine.l,pey9;1irk71j117 " d 'f waS •eatier uevote oh' e an - home. He found relaxation from the cares of business in his beautiful home among his flowers and ferns, of which be had one of the finest collections in the city, in well arranged conservator- ies and ferneries. In this recreation 'qrs. Thorne was an interested partici- pant. Mr. Thorne was very doinestie, in his habits, and although unblessed with children, his home life was very happy. Mrs. Thorne has mar heartfelt sympathy in her great bereavement. The body will be taken by Mrs. Thorne to Canada, for interment, and its last resting place will be at Exeter, Ont., her old home."
