Do you realize how much of your taws past growth and present ewes- perity is due to unceasing advocacy and advertising of its local papers? A good way to bring hone to your- self what you and your business owe to your local paper, or papers; is to figure ':o yourself what your town would be without them. This is one thing which some, men, apparently in- telligent and thoughtful in other mat- ters oat ters evidently never do, .•-s•-o -zt-- Police Magistrate Andrews of Clin- ton was called to 'Goderich to meet the County Council and there meas Witt] some pertinent questions as to bow the south part a Huron was adv ded to his district.

The War Summary :For the first time in several mon- ths the Zeppelins have been busy dropping bombs on the cuities of Pa- ris, and London, and, also in the lan-d and eastern counties of England, • Some damage was done, but not tkearlees s muoh as one would imagine could be done by the dropping sof 600 pound bombs on innocent non- combatants, The outstanding feature during the week is the success of the Gran Duke of Russia in the Caucasus He is sweeping everything before him. And his ;success here will prevent the unspeakable Turk from going to the assistance of his allies in Greece, The Germans have made some assaults on the 'west front during time week but with no success„ The attack on Salonika is still de- layed. Meantime the allies position is improving. In elesopotamnia the British and Turks are fighting hard with no de- finite results. The .capture of the British ship Appeal off the west coast of Africa. by a German Sub. and taking her to the United' States makes a record for decency and efficiency in a German Sub commander. The boat and 400 people had been given up as last. Military Matters Lieut Tarma.nce, was in Ripley over Sunday.
