After ten unsuccessful attempts to
enlist for ov rseas service Charles H.
Fletcher of tratford, had six id'af-
ective teeth removed and fourteen
artificial ones put in and has now
been accepted. He has seventeen
relatives on the firing line. Thisis
surely a goad example.
Exeter citizens have under ecnsid-
eratior the purchasing of a field ,;un

there is no better time for this civic

Are energetic forward movement is
being made at many centres .tostim-
ulate the enlistment of recruits for
the overseas campaign, Those who
speak with authority affirm that
thousands of men are still ,wanted to
prepare for the great conflict still to
be• waged, the greatest in history.
This locality has taken apparently
little interest in this phase ,of the war
and it is time they were being aroused
as the success ' or failure tof British
arms may be a very eventful period
even in the Dominion. Who ,would
Fie: to don the colors ?
The ladies of the Kincardine (Red
Cross Society recently made a collec-
tior of old magazines newspapers,
etc. and the lot shipped tto a dealer
in Toronto. They made $66,00 by
the enterprise, Here is a source ef
fund: that is little dreamed of. In
every town and village thele ,are( sev-
eral hundred -weight if not tons of
old papers and magazines, which etre
of no use to the ;owners. They have
been piled away from. year ;to year;
They, are recognized as a nuisance,
but remembering, ,the pleasure,they
have given, folk' do not like, to dstroy
them. Here is an opportunity to
tusk them to very real ,use.
An organization of business men
known as "The Promoters Associa-
tion' 'has betesi ;founded at ,Ridgetown
to aidin' the welfare of the town.
They wilt: deal with projects coming
before the people, thereby .assisting.
the Mnniecipal Council. Homes indus-
tries antd their betterment or the in-
coming of Companies seeking location
will also come .under their jurisdic-
tion. This is •a very practical work
that 'might be taken up by any Cor-
poration, It has been stated on ;the
very best authority that at the c:on-
clusion of this great wart that the
industries will be seeking favorable
locations and those municipalities that
are prepared to receive industries will
doubtless share in what is going.
Would: itt not be well for Exeter to
organize along these lines?

GRAIN SPROUTING - Farmers

Weather and the effect it is having on
the shocked grain, considerable of
which has begun to sprout, .,rnd me
greater part of the grain ,is still in
the field, although much was drawn
en or Monday. The heavy rain of
Televise has set things back again
several days thus allowing further
sprouting to the grain in £hock, Bar-
ley is rather limited as lto acreage
in this district, but it is now ready
to cut. •Tlkere is a big acreage of
oats Arid a heavy yield is promised
but owing to the heavy rains• and mind
it has gone down badly in places. The
corn crop has not looked .good ail
year and the exceeding wet weather
is doing it considerable harm, A 'it-
tle rain will spoil the little potatoes
but so much rain is apt to spoil the
big ones
