SANDERS & CRE'ECH Thereis always something for the Farmer to learn. attend the Farmers' institute Meetings WAKE UP, MR, MERCHANT, St Morys merchants are busy thru their local papers showing the pee pie how to take advantage of the par. - eel post in their dealings, and it is having a great effect on the business done by ,the merchants of .the town. Kincardiae and other towns are doing likewise. They believe in getting af- ter the trade, The merchant's • there are good advertisers. What is the matter with the Exeter merchants `? • Do theirnot believe in getting after that great trade which is going to bestiltiulete:l by the parcel post sys- tem?: Let them wake upl if they want it before sone other town captures the trade ? The merchants of Exeter should mit try to run their businesses like a ccua ry corner grocery would, Everyone. of>• them should have a good big 'regular advertising space in the local` papers, and keep everlastingly at it or they must inevitably fall be- hind in the race for business. Do not be content to sit down and wait for the people to come in, and waste their time trying to find out what you have in. the store. You are a loser if you do.

LATEST NEWSPAPER CENSUS The :forty --sixth annual census of the publications of .United States and Canada shows that an averageof five new publications were started every working day during 1913. The sus- pensions and consolidations make the net gain only three e week. The total number of publican ons is 24,527, .. There are .`2,640 dailies- the evening editions outnumbering the morning by about three to one. There are 572 Sunday papers,. It re-. mores ' 40 different languages, Every class,.cult, trade, profession, fad or:. "isni" has • its own printed spokesman in the 215 different lists into which the newspapers are classified. Onl ° four ,industries now exceed } Sv in capital invested and value of products the business of publication and print Inge In ten years the output increas- ed 866 per cent„ and it is estimated that at present the earnings of news- papers and periodicals average nearly. a million; and half dollars per calen- dar. day. ;Two thirds of this `amount perhaps represents advertising. In the nature of the case no one individual can be familiar with a large part of. the publishing industry, which is car- ried . on in more than 11,000 £liffer- ent towns." ITEMS FROM IN, TOM'S REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL The following items regarding the West Huron. I•nspectorate are inter- esting,- In 1890 there were 70 men teachers etan average salary of $398 and : 59 women at an average salary of, $285. TWO held first class certificates, 55 second and 72 thded, In 1913 the 22. men, received an average of $702 and the 113 women an average of $543. 12 hell first-class certificates; 79 second and 43 third class. Rural teachers do not average two years In one school. Only 36 of the 108 teachers in my rural schools in January last are in the same schools now.There have been, 84 changes of teachers in West Huron since March 1st. 1913. The schools are suffering on account of the frequent changes. I have been gratified to notice the practical and intelligent work in - ag- riculture that was done in many of theaural schools .during 1913. I hdpe the parents appreciate what was done and that they will encourage the teachers .and pupils to continue this valuable educational ;work. Inevery school the teacher should take with the pupils as much of the agriculture and horticulture outlined in the daily register as circumstances will permit. In the spring seeds and; plants are dis- tributed to the teachers for use in this school garden or in the pupils' home gardens. Parents should en- courage the teachers and pupils to do this work under the departmental plan HURON HOUSE OF REFUGE Huron County claims the honour of having the best and most economical house of refugein the province. The institution is located. just 'outside the town of Clinton, and, at present time has 96 inmates. Cost of. feeding the pat ieats, by scientific management, has beenxeduced to. 9.2 cents per day each and the keeper is prepared to wager that no. ,better vieturals• are doled out in any such institution in Ontario. Mr. andMrs. Multch are inti charge of the institution, with 1.lrs. Parfitt as .ass- istant, and the house is very well man- aged. There is a large farm in connect- ion and every year no inconsiderable revenue is derived from the sale of pro- duce. ' The questyan that confronts the authorities at the present time is 'that of accommodation., With . 96 inmates the house is crowded andextra room wi11; have to provided at once, The house of refuge c ommittee consisting of Warden David Cantelon, of Clinton, Dr. Clark of Goderich; Reeve Goven- lock of McKillop Township; Reeve J.

Another conference well be held shortly to go into the matter further The Huron County authorities are taking up the idea .of relieving the congestion in the prov- incial asylums by caring for in the house of refuge, a number of county insane patients who are not dangerous Already one or two patients have been 'brought home in this way and, with further extra accommodation, which It is proposed to provide, it is ant- icipated that many others may belook ed after. ess COUNTY CONVENTION OF TEM- PERANCE WORKERS.. A call has been issued by the Hur- on County'. Branch aof the Doinireop Alliance for the, annual convention whichwill be held, in, Ontario street Methodist Church, Clinton, commenc- ing at 10 o'clock on Friday, Feb. 20.

This community was sadly shocked yesterday, (Wednesday) morning when it became known that Mr, William Bray had committed suicide by hang- ing. Apparently in his usual ' health and spirits Mr, Bray went to bed Tuesday night and the family noticed nothing that would indicate anything wrong, but to the• great surprise and horror of his son John on entering the barn Wednesday morning about seven o'clock he discoveredthe body of his father suspended by a rope attached to;a beam. He at once informed the neighbors -Messrs. Arthur Campbell George Boulter and Dr. Hotize-and withtheir assistance cut the bpdy down,. but life was extinct, and apparetttly he had beendead for some time Coroner Dr. Hyndman of + Ex- eter was afterwards summoned , and after v ewing the body pronounced ii a case of suicide and that an inquest' would not be necessary. Just a little over a week ago her. Bray was bereft of his wife and it would seem as though the weight of the burden had played so heavily on his mind that he became temporarily unbalanced and committed the . rash act. Mr. Bray was a native of Usborne and his whole life has been spent in the tow,nshlp, being one of the most highly esteemed and respected men of the community, and the sad cir- cumstances surrounding his untimely end has cast a gloom over the whole neighborhood. The deceased was about sixty years of age and leaves to mourn his death two sons and one daughter -Foster of Regina, Sask.;John and Miss s Stella at home; also one sister, Mrs. Lucy Hazlewood, Farquhar..

PROPER ESTIMATE OF A WIFE BEATER Believing that that the punishment should fit the crime, Justice of Peace Henry E. Miller of Swoyersille has announced' that every man brought before him on, a charge of wife beating shall re - cense a beating himself. And the athletic `"squire" intends. to be the one to administer the punishment. Whilethe justice is small and weighs less than 150 pounds, he says he is willing. to take chances in physicial combat with any wife beater who is arraigned before him, " "Let the man who beats his wife be as big ;as a mountain," says the squire ' "and if T ..cannot give him all the f:ghtina be wants, I will be glad to -eke a licking myself. I figure that n. man who beats his wife is a cow-, 1rd. I. intend to see that no woman.: `reel- coiner LAfear,, from a brute" of a husband.

She can rest assured that I: will not fine him or send him to jail, But she must' not object to the kind of punishment I ~tete out. In these particular cases I believe in justice with a punch. I will guar- antee to do all the punching, and if I can't send a wife beater on his way with the determination, to treat his wife as a human being, I will quit my job•" Crediton Our skating rink has been well pat- ronized the past week.
