Our Corner.
Taking the votes .polled at the On-
tario election in 1914 as the number
of voters, the. petition for a "Dry On -
'feria" had the signatures of 77,8 per
cent, of the voters, In Huron 75 per
Mat; in Bruce 74 per cent,; In To-
ronto 91 per :cent,; in Norfolk: 106

dred expects one of three
things when they present the peti-
tion to the government, The Gov-
ernment might pass a prohibitorylaw
abbolishing drink until the end of the
war; it might pass prohibition onits
owns initiative; or else it might sub-
mit the matters to the electors. The
first is not likely, and the, third very
probable,

Last Wednesday's London Advert-
iser repeated 'the stet made
five months ago that Rev,
Collins, of Exeter, had been appointed
chaplain of the 70th Overseas Batten
Ion. This is only a ,provisional ap-
pointment apparently, like all other
appointments of chaplains reeently
made, the idea being that they tato
the battalions when about toi sail ov-
erseas. Mr. Collins went down to
London on Friday to make enquiry
and was informed bqua es
that this appointment would y
become operative when the regiment
was about to go overseas. As this
appointment has been delayed six
Months and may be further delayed
several months Mr. Collins has defin-
itely declined the offer.

The Grand Duke has captured n. ed east
stores o1munitions and prisoners. The
success of the Grand Duke in this
district will put a quietus on any

•Eieavy fighting on the Western side

the Allies being content to defend
their lines and let Germany do the;
attacking. It is the best way in the
world to reduce their strength On
the west the flying machines :nave also
been active and England has been
again raided with 'very little result.
Bulgaria. is 'growing; restless and
apparently wants a heavy price be-

The ,Hensall soldiers twill march
down, to ,Exeter this afternoon, have
an early' supper and return by train.
Hats off to Brant County, One in
every fourteen of the populatiion has
donned the khaki. What about Hu-
ron?
--,...
Many a young man in this dostrict
who usually dresses right in style, is
forgetting that• Khaki is the popular
shade this year.
The Exeter company hiked to Dash;
wood on Wednesday and were, enter-
tained to dinner at Mr, Horatio Rey-
nold's, Sarepta.
The Hensall soldiers came down on
Thursday and with the Exeter bays
marched out to Crediton, where they
were royally entertained at dinner.
What is to be said of the, young
man without wealth who says, : -"Let
the rich mant's son fight this war, I
have nothing to lose." Quite true,
he has nothing to lase, not even man-
hood.
Major Osborne of the headquarters
staff and Cod. Combe of Clinton re-
viewed the Exeter and Hensall com-
pany here on Thursday morning and
the fomer gave the boys much whole-
some advice in a short address.
The 33rd Battalion, reporting to be
going overseas at once, has called for
100 additional 'men from Western On-.
twice Huranis asked to supply six
of the rnezi. Four volunteered from
Exeter company and will be examin-
ed. Only one will likely be accepted
front each company.
Hensall last week had mare re-
cruits than: Exeter, and the Hensall
Observer observes that Exeter needs
to hurry or the war will be vover
before the men, are recruited. Some
people are wondering what is, the mat
ter with the young men here. Per-
haps a little slow in this district but
we, think the rush is, about due. Yoti
are needed boys, •
