The boys, we know do those things in a spirit of fun, but the fun very often is prac- tised upon some poor resident, who is not Able to repair the damage thern- selves thus necessitating expense and worry. Parents can do much towards preventing this ,kind of thing by keeping ,their :children home on these ~occasions. This ,year above all oth- ers is ;riot a time for acts of,destruc- tion. FREk. ADVERTISING. We often wonder if other business tirms are harassed as publishers of local papers are. We make our living out of our space ,stn the paper, char; lug a rater per tine or per inch for ft. There is` no money in subscriptions;i. any ablrshir will tell you this, Even a great metropolitan newspaper like the AAew York Sun pleads for eelief from requests for free space for all sorts of enterprises, saying appetite for free advertise- ment ;row, daily. We give a para- graph and a column is demanded; we comply with a modest request and aro ,informed that we have enlisted for a long campaign. It is diffi:.uit to keep abreast of the growing exact- ions .Brethren, be merciful We have done our best, but we cannot give alt ali of The Sun to you. Many other good causes invite us whose express- ion is not wholly ,comprised within the word "give", Let us beseech you, have a brief respite." The seekers for free publicity have recently assailed the churches and many pulpits are advertising mediums. The. long list of , announcements makes the people tired before the ser- mon begins. Patience will cease to be a virtue soon The Boys in Khaki Private A. H. Gambrill has been raised to the rank of Corporal in the 161st, Lieut, Thos Penhale has received his commission in the British army and expects soon to be on the firing line, Wednesday's list of casualities men- tions, Capt Dr. Racey, of Parkhillas seriously ill,and Pte.

HIS LIFE FOR. HIS COUNTRY Mr. and and Mrs. Stephen J. Hogarth of Iviltolm Farm, Stephen, received a telegram on Sunday, informing them of the death of their son, Pte. John G tdogarth, tat the front. He was killed in action on Oct. 2nd. The late John G. Hogarth enlisted in Sep- tember, 1915, en the 71st Battalion, was transferred to the 34th, being a volunteer to fill the ranks of that Bat- talion when about to said overseas, and went 'to England in November, and has been in France since June. He frequently wrote home to his friends, and his letters were full of interest. The late .soldier was educated at Exeter High School and the Ontario Agricultural College, He was a hrigh t and exempliary young man of 21 years of age and a general favorite. Great regret is felt that Pte, Hog- arth should have lost his lite, but it could not have. been in a more noble cause. "He gave ,his life for others." The who community offers sympathy to the parents and relatives. He is the first of the boys who went direct from Exeter to lay Mown hi, lite for his country. All honor to Private Hogarth. .........1•011/11.111.1=1.••41,11.1000M1 Mr and Mrs. Hogarth :lave r.innce received letters. of condolence :rotes the Prime Minister and Government, also a letter from Lieut, Duggan, Commanding Officer of the .

Raeey of Park- hill Captain in the Canadian Medical Corps now in France, was received by Mr. Wm. !Mitchell last week, - "Your eon, W. E. Mitchell, 401,373 passed through my ambulance to -day and 1 told him I would twrite you, and tell you he eras alright. You may have heard of my name, as Iam from Parkhill, Dr. Geo. W. Racej, It was almost like being, at Home to see your boy. He is not badly wounded and will not be crippled, but will, of course wear an honorable scar. He was in the best of spirits like will our Cana- dian boys are when they come out a£ a scrap They certainly have been makr,t;.'their presence felt over here, and are to my mind the finest fight- ers and the gamest , in the British Army Nothing is too hard for them. When I tell you your son was ons of 60, all that were left of his battalion who went over the ;top to try to take a trench, you will understand the fibre o: mer, who came from the dearland of the Maple. A charge like that in the face of fa well entrenched enemy takes some doing, You, no doubt, will be mighty proud of your boy and with good a•eason. He likely will be out of action for a month or so, so he will have a good rest. lam coming home the 24th of this month. If you have time drop over to the Hill and I'll tell you all about him, I won't be home before Nov. 9th or 10th, In the meantime don't worry.

THE RED CROSS APPEAL The Province has again responded'. nobly to the appal for funds for the British Red Cross Society. The to- tal evill probably amount to two mil- lion ctollars, Toronto subscribed ov- er three quarters of a trillion and many of the other Iarge cities have done well, Many pf the towns and village:, and some of the rural muni- cipalities have also done well, while in some cases municipalities and in- dividuahs b;,ve shown a. noticable and regrettable failure to respond as -they should, The ;need is very ;neat and it 13 to be hoped they will' still come forsard and respond in a manner such as the cause deserves. Exeter this year adopted a new system of securing the funds in the hope that the amount would at Ieast be $2000. The Council granted $1000 Then for one week an op;tortunity was offered for volunteers to rub• scribe. In this way over $500 was received. Following this 'on Monday the town was divided into districts and collectors sent out. They, it i; expected wilt succeed in securing en. other four or five hundred; so that the total in Exeter when feel report is in is expected to be $Z000, or near- ly so, Local Nears Next Sunday evening Rev.
