The freeing of coal will be a boon to Noya Scotia coal pro- ducers The placing of cobalt, iron, silver, nickel, copper, and gold ore on the free list vein give un im- mense impetus'to the mining industry of New Ontario, The placing of fresh water fish on, the free list will spell increased profits for•the fisher- men of the great lakes. Other ad- vantages will be gained by the free admission of rags, scrap iron and junk generally, Two patrons of a noted Ontario creamery both members of a cow testing association, at the end of last year had these records to study. A. from eight cows got a total of 1360 pounds .01 fat, B. from five cows got 1777 pounds, Consider what this means B from three less cows got 417 pounds more than A., equal to about $90; and the three cows ate about $90 worth more. Then consider the work of feeding, stabling, milk- ing caring fox, and interest of the investment and you see what a oro- fitless job A. had, Every farther should keep dairy records and cut out the profitless cow. With the beginning of the Fall trade peeping out our business men ,phould sit up and take notice. 'There is •no use.expecting the residents of this; section to go,around with a mi- croscope trying to find. out whether this or that is sold in our town. The only plan that will work is to keep everlastingly telling them ''what you have on hand. That is the way up- ,to -date merchants get their trade: There is no reason why, the people of this vicinity should be expected to adopt any different method in regard to trading. ,than other places. Tell them what you have; let them know what it costs; show then you ,can save them time and money by buying from ,you and then they.. will come to your store and not" carry home mail order catalogues.

I Teachers' Mr, I -i, L, Bunke, A. E. Mousse and A very largely attended public t several others of the Hydro -Electric meeting was. held in the Town Hall on Friday evening for the purpose of discussing the By-law. to loan the sum of: ten thousand dollars to the Exeter, Manufacturing Co,, and the opinion of nearly everyone present was that the concern would be : a good thing to. have in Exeter, and that the by-law should be carried. The meeting opened with Reeve Heamar in the chair; who after :,tat-. ing the object of the meeting, :ailed ue 1VIr Gladman to react the Agree- ment between the Corporation and the Company. The agreement which is a very lengthy one, ..is very binding. on the company and safeguards the town fully. $10,000 of debentures are to be sold anal the proceeds loaned to the company—$3000 to be paid when- the patents and patterns and equipment are on the premises, the: balance to be paiid, into the bank in joint credit, to be checked out as necessary in making alterations, add - tions ,and in the purchase of 'raw material labor, etc., in carrying on. the business—the whole repayable at the. end of the 2nd, 3rd, -etc. years at $1;000 a year, and $2,000 the 10th year. A great deal of material is necessary to carry on the business and this material is good for cash at an) time. The town` has a check on the ex- penditure of the $7000 aasd has a first lies o:•i the material, stock, the buildings, etc., secured b•r 'esurance Mr,• Zieg, the head a; the company when called upon, explained the work of the companies in Fredericktown, in which town they carry a stock. of goods: to , the value of forty or fifty thousand dollars and stated that. the stock here would be ample security as not less than $20,000 worth of stock would be carried. He went through. the list of articles they masa ufactured, such as road tiling, road making machinery, cement block ma- chinery hardware specialties, bells, etc. shewiag cuts of the various ar- ticles. Their sales. on bells alone amounted: to $10,000 a year, while their business in the two factories amounted to about a quarter million dollar= a year. Their intention . 'was to manufacture here anything in these lines that they could get a demand for, bells of various, kinds,. two road surveying party, are busy this week near Exeter, going over the ground anct estimating tfle cost and the res venue of the Hydro 'radial line for Huron County; The line is surveyed through Exeter on the est side. The building of thee line will depend on the report by'the surveyors as to the possibilities They have. already covered the ground from Goderich to Bayfield , to Zurich, to Dashwood,' to Crediton, to Exeter; and a spur line from Dashwood to Grand Bend. From here they go to Hensall and Seaforth and on north. All this work is being done at the the expense of the Commission , The chairman of the Hydro -Electric Power Commission stated to the Board of Trade of Goderich that electricity would follow the propos- ed lines and would be able to clis- tribute power and light eight miles on each side of the road, thus al- most assuring hydro to every cowii; village and even every' farm house in the County of Huron, at a cost with- in their reach, whereas without some such scheme as now s=poken of . it would be too expensive, for a long. thine to come. "Thc; route napped out was so arranged as to penetrate the heart of ev ery municipality of the County of Huron Although this does not nec- essarily fix the lines, they will be there or thereabouts. "After the engineers' report is pre- pared we intend to call a public meeting of those interested, in so.mct convenient place in the County,. and have their findings placed before the meeting when it will be fully dis- cussed. and should the undertaking commend itself to those present, the scheme will be advanced to the stage of presenting to the County Council asking theta to make it a county scheme, built by the county and own- ed by the county, "The chairman. of the.. Commissioa. plainly said that they would float our bonds,. build and equip the road, and when completed would run it, if the county wished them to do so," EXETER SCHOOL BOARD.

The deceased had en- joyed her usual good health up to within a few days of her • demise, when she was, stricken down evith an attack of Bright's disease, and in a fees- short days the end came. The deceased was a bright, intelligent girl and esteemed and beloved by her associates and many friends, She was aged 13 years.

All report an excellent time; Convention Thc thirty-fifth annual meeting of West Hurons Teachers' Association was held in the Public School Exe- ter on Thursday and Friday October Oth and loth, 1913.., The chair was taken by the Presi- dent Miss A. E. Consitt, Hensall, De- votional exercises were conducted by Inspector Tom, Thee minutes of the last session in Goderich Sept, 17th, 191.2, were react and approved. Mr. H. R, Long, Principal of Vic- toria School, Goderich, spoke on co- operation between teachers and trus- tees, He field that both had certain rights .flick should be accorded them. The best way to bring about bo -operation would be to have re- gular meetings where all matters in common may be discussed. Co-op- eration will improve the School grounds, library ventilation,, heating seating caretaking, etc. The paper was an interesting one. Anse, H. Kinsman read, a good paper an Recitation with Class in whirl she advocated that difficult words,ptrestuation marks, etc.,should be explained first, Then, aids a" class of small g iris and'boys, she il- lustrated her plan of conducting a recitation . Needless to say it was delightfully done Everyone was in terested, Inspector Tom spoke'on heating and ventilation and cleared up many ro::its that needed explanation., He advised each teacher to study the running of a furnace. He gave many good harts about the care of libraries kee,piag of registers, t nd inspection of outbuildings. Dr • Morgan Principal of the Nor- mal, School Hamilton, :gave, a fine ad- dress on Composition for junior clas- ses' We should remember that com- position is the process of expression and therefore we should place emphasis on freedom of expression in .elementary composition. Mode of expressing thoughts should be grad- ually imposed.'Hells in this direct- ti'on are informal talks, reproduction of stories read, description of pict- ures etc. He would use fairy tales to foster the imagination of the child, graders three. kinds of drags, two moral stories to elevate, good titer - kande of cement block machinery, Heary stories to help the child's voc- told. the audience to bear . in mind abulary etc. Stories should be suit- able to the season. The . teacher should know his story well in. ord- er to be able to tell it well, He. would also use pictures to"draw 'he child.'~ imagination out, but he would be careful to choose his picture with the thought of having unity, or one that would teach a moral lesson, etc. AFTERNOON SESSION Miss Consitt in the President's ad- dress on Child Life very nicely told bow we can elevate the character of the children, teaching them oerson al cleanliness, health rules, that real things only are beautiful and to devel- op in them a love, for, the beautiful in nature and pictures. Mr Ross in a splendid paper dis- ccusssed the teaching of History for Fourth Class. He held that the im- portant thing in teaching history was not just the imparting of information but it arousing interest in this g reat subject. The teacher should be thor oughly prepared to teach the lesson. He should be full of his subject. For Junior Fourth he would teach from the beginning of English History up to' the Tudor Period, and for both Fourths only the prominent events. To impress the work he would have rapid and frequent reviews. Be would snake. good use of maps and teach dates thoroughly. He considered His- tory one of the most important sub- jects because we can train children through it better for good citizenship than we can through the teaching of any other subject, He • gives it an important position on his time table. Inspector Tom spoke on school work ,and gave the teacher many good thoughts along the. line of spelling. He wouldn't have • the pupils write spellings on the slates in class, but he would have it done in their seats. He laid great stresss on having the pu- pils pronounce the words and read the sentences in. the speller. The child- ren should be taught that nouns end int cle, us, etc., and adjectives in .cal, and ous; and that ize is .the suffix used in forming verbs from•other words, while lee is the ending • in words with a 'prefix.. The.whole talk was full of instruction. miss Murray introduced a. class who gave us a sample of reading, which was really well ' done, and her teach- ing of a literature lesson was original. Miss Murray told her class a story of Cardinal Newman last evening and then taught the lesson. "Lead, Kindly Light" without further preparation of her class. The teaching was '.yell do ne. and the beautiful lessons et the poem were cleverly drawn from the class. Miss Bailiic discussed School Gar- dens from the rural teacher's stand- point She thought the school gar- dens gave the children a strong mot- ive to; succeed; The experiments are an object lessor' n Orsection t she ] the giving her experience with a garden the past summer and, being well pleas ed with the results, even though it cost some effort to keep it going. The pupils were ' interested ht their garden, both at school and' at home. The address was couched in choice language and well delivered. The report of the delegate to the Ontario Edtteational Association was read by W. H. Johnston, EVENING In the evening a large and intel- ligent audience gathered in the Op- era House,' In the absence of the Continued on Page 5. that this was riot a new proposition.- all had been . on the market for years, a success. had been made of the bus- iness and it is no experiment He was nor familiar enough with the trade con=ditions here to know just what would be demanded but as compet •itiocrwould be lighter, and conditions much the same there was no reason why they should' not succeed even better• than the United States. In :we Years they should employ 40 or 50 men. In Fredericktown their payroll amounted to $55,000 a years; the men averaging $2.50 a clay. The men do not need to be experienced as they could soon make them skillful in their special work. The object in coming to a small place was because they h=ad been invited to come, and be- cause of the labor question. For this last "'reason marry manufacturers are favoring the smaller places, At this juncture the Reeve read the reports of the coinrnitte which visited Fredericktown and which we published a few weeks ago. L. H" Dickson said that Exeter needs the factory a,id we have the risen who need the work. Tlie pro- position has my strongest sympathy and support, Mr. Zieg is' clever,.rsoat-. est and comes with the best of rep- utation. That makes security half made. The value of the men is a great assistance' to the project, and the security seems ample outside of the value of Mr. Zieg's reputation,. The, proposition is -a mere loan, pay- able early, at only an expense of $2950 and it wot;ld be too bad to let the opportunity pass. He ventur- ed to say:that any progressive city or town would be anxious to get this company even at a much greater cost, The value of the company to the town will be greatly ahead of the cost Rev. Sharp, said, that though not a voter., he felt strongty the value of good roads. The Governments ' of Canada are strong for it. The pos- sibilities of "Canada are very , great when the roads become better. He believed such a concern would be of great advantage to Exeter. Rev, Collins thought _everybody was favorable to the by-law,. He. liked the tone of the speeches. The re- port of the committee is very favor- able He was pleased with Mr. Zieg's fair way of putting things. We are an 'a parallel with the States and their conditions are our conditions, and this fires being a success there, C r e r' should be evea a greater „ucc ss here He hoped the citize=ns could see their svay clear to vote for the by-law verW Taylor thoug=ht the meeting' y favorable to, the by-law. He was not opposed tp it and thought the citizens should snarly out the question as they, were and vote in- telligently. S. Martir claimed that industries did lower- ed but rather increase a not them. T, B,. Carling said an our industries had paid the town and' this one would too, Mr. Hanna, who came here with Mr Zing. and who is to be manager o: the concern If the by-law carries, gave a talk on business conditions in Canada and the States. J A Stewart, S. M. Sanders and others spoke favorably of the by-law, and on motion of R. N. Creech 'ancl J. G Stanbury' a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Zei.g and 1hlr, Hanna rot their clear cued satisfactory' explaina- tions of the working. of the concerns in which they and we are interested, Vote for the By Lawn Because it is a tried and a proven industry. It is not in the experimental rtage A. voteo —�� f r the by-law means a vote for a larger Exeter. Without considering the taxes that the foundry and the workmen would pay your taxes would only be a boli -mil; more for ten years. The loan is a short one and they begin to pay back in two yearn. The town,needs .your shoulder to the wheel to help it along. Vote for Exeter on Friday and pars the by-law, Because Exeter needs industries and an iron working industry means stead) work, ' There should be no two opinions about the by-law. Everybody should be 'favorable, and nearly everybody is. Only owners of property :,will have a vott on Friday. Increase the value of your own possessions by getting another inaustry in town. See the opinions expressed at the public• meeting in another column. ' Ir is a wrong idea to think by vot- ing for the by-law you are raising the tax rate. Just the contrary, It brings more people to town to pay the taxes and it means simply the paying of a little interest for a short time. A mere bagatelle compared to the benefits. This is a poor man's by-law as well as ane of general benefit to all Exeter It gives labor, it helps the merchant it increases the value of property, ,it 'increases population, and in fact it benefits the town in many ways. --o-- To express your disapproval of the by-law is knocking your town, giv- ing it a black eye that doesn't be- hove you to inflict, Let everybody see that you are progressive, and in favor of progressive movements. This is one. No town in a farming community can hope to be anything but a farm trading village unless it becomes a centre ,of wholesaling or manufactur • ing ,activity. If we can't have the former let us have the latter. Would you like to see another in- dustry in town? I£ so vote for the by-la}v 'Friday. --o-- Large oaks from little acorns grow and while the proposed industry is not as large as some it might easily be considered to be a stepping -stone to something greater, and the cost of obtaining it seems trifling. --a-- The heavy taxpayers are willing to do their best for our municipality as the growth of Exeter aids them in paying their large share of taxes,. keeps property from standing idle and sets the sails ready to catch favoring breezes toward the harbor of success, SANDERS & CREECH Th,: agreenxe'1t makes the secµrity, ample Do you desire to have Exeter grow? By v;sting for the by-law Friday your answer will be yes The loan should be easily ha -idled by the new firm and every dollar :re- paid in due cour=se aceornling' to the terms, of the by -lav, You vote against the by-law if you stay at home next Friday and help to give the town a black eye, BIRTHS Regan—At Mt.
