THIRTIETH YEAR.
EXETER, ONTARIO
Very ,heave
ghting on west front.
IrlitTIISDAY MAY
10, 1917
Our Corner,
During the ,week tan the western
front the British and Fre,nch have
again made gains of importance, The
enemy seems ,to be holdbig on much
tighter to the pP
ground opposite time
British than to that opposite the gal=
(ant. French to the south, so•thatthe
reports give ,the French gains as the
greater of the two .. On Saturdayand,
„,Sunday the French captured 6000
prisoners. Hindenburg, the German
commander, is using up vast quantit-
ies of his reserve troops to stern the
British advance, but sin spite of re-
peated counter ,attacks he is unable
to budge the British, although: he is
making it hard to advance,
The only uncomfortable featuresof
the war at the present time are .(the
submarined .the unrest in Russia.
The submarines have been unpleas-
antly successful. Fifty boats or -so a
week are too many to lose under
the present circumstances, lwhern so
many are needed far the transport':!of
men,, munitions ,and for the use of the
Allies. For her own needs Britain
could readily manage, but she has
to carry goods for the Allies astivell,.;
There is no use denying that the con-
dition in Russia is not satisfactory,
Nominally the. Government and the
armyare with the Allies, but the
unrest arising ,from the recent revol-
ution is not yet settled. The army is
not fighting according to report, as
,, one would 'hope to see 'it fight. -It
has not yet been demonstrated that
the. Government is strong enough to
-control the situation; and make the
nation adopt the stride that is befit-
ting its strength, : It takes time to
settle a revolution..
United States 4s making rapid pro-
gress in faking ;up a share in the
great struggle. Millions of money are
being supplied to the cause, conscrip
tion in a'moditfied form ,has become
law, armies' are being trained, etc.,
but here .too it takes time. ' The first,
great need is to stop the work of
the submarines, and the great inven-
tive genius „of the American people

is hard at work on that matter. In-
deed it is claimed that an appliance
has been discovered that will solve
the difficulty. We hope it is so, and
we' will not mina giving them the
credit for it. .
Potato planting time is now here,
and the men with potatoes to sell
have got the price boosted to $4.50
a bag, just at a time when• they
should be cheaper than at any other
time of the year -to give a fair 'op-
portunity fory"s large acreage to be
planted: Wheat and flour have also
gone soaring to extravagant figures
Thereis.;not a shadow of a doubt but
the whole thing is being manipulated
bythe action of speculators, growers
and dealers -not necessarily done lo-
cally, but ,even here the price is high-
er than"'it ought to be to ensure the
planting, of plenty. It is generally
believed' That there are lots of pota-
toes sight in Western Ontario, and
there are many; farmeirs who- are still
holding their wheat for higher priictes,.
It is within the_possibility that prices
for these commodities will be fixed
in. North America- very soon, and it
will be a good thing too, It is only
right and proper that the grower get
a little more than the ordinaryp;rac,e
but :when things get three, four, ar
five times the ordinary price, it is
time a stop. should be put to it. It
is not fair that some people should
fight and lose their lives, and others
stay home and get rich, -
An arrangement has been made by
Hoffa. W. T, McGarry, provincial
treasurer -,through ' the organization of
resources committee with the .Bank-
ers' Association for loans to Ontario
farmers, who need seed and have ;no
money with which to buy it. The
sum of $200 will ;be available at the
nearest bank for every Ontario farm-
er who desires to increase ,his' acre-
age and needs the money to buy(steed
Loans will be repayable with interest
at six per cent. an Nov, 1, after the
farmer has sold his crop. If the crop
fails and the farmer is unable to repay
the money, the Ontario Govern fent
will make it. goad.
One of the noticable changes from
25 years ago, is ;the disappearance of
the wayside blackksmath shops.
One
reason is said to be the increase of
farm machinery, and the, keeping of
parts of these at convenient places,
so that repairs can be made in short
order. With light conveyances, or
motors the •questioan of driving :a!nad-
ditional 5 or 10 miles does not conte
into count, • hence the mission of the
local blacksmith is no longer a pres-
sing necessity. It is said shops have
reduced from 4,000 to 2,500 in the
past five years in Ontario.
In spite of the fire of adverse and
unreasoning criticism, which last sum-
mer would have consumed, .the big
camp had it beenpossible, it is ,tow
thought likely that the United States
Government will use Camp f. Borden far
the training of their troops this sum-
mer. Time " has justified the camp,•
whicl: now is admitted to be the
most complete and perfect on ,this
continent and even its bitterest en-
emies haven't a word to say against
it.
Some of our citizens are complain-
ing ,.of owners of chickens allowing
them to run at large. thickens • should.
be shut up, and persons who neglect
to do so shouldbe prosecuted. A
great deal ,of extra effort has been
put forth by many of our citizens oto
produce more .garden stuff this sea-
son, and it is poor satisfaction, to :have
your neighbors' chickens digging out
the fruits of your • labor.
People in the neighborhood of Wil-
]nam and Gidley streets when retiring
should remember the window blinds.
Even a wet and stormy night does
not deter "the" peeper" from being
abroad, He was noticed Tuesday
night up a ladder peeping into a bed -
robin. A good citizen returnirng home
scared hint away. Draw the blinds a
little closer.
Since the first Battle of Arras the
allies have taken nearly 50,000 pris '
ane.rs in the west. Firguring on the
basis that the enemy has suffered
five casualties for `'every ° prisoner,
there vas a minimum of 250,000 Ger-
mans killed and wounded last month.
The farmer .or dealer who is'.hol.id-
ing ,up potatoes to a forbidden price
is not helping out the production bus-
iness, and is in. the present crisis an
enemy to his country.
The
o --
The weather man has not lleen
helping very much .in the production
campaign. All the more reason why
a large acreage should be put in.

GIRL SUICIDES , AT WHALEN
x -o -x
Whalen, May 8. -Taking strychnine
in a fit ,of despondency, Miss Jessie
Clark _a 1.6 -year-old .girl employed as
a domestic at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Hector Willson at Whalen],„died
Saturday afternoon, 10 minutes after
she had swallowed the 'poison. The
girl had 'been :placed with Mr. and
Mra. Millson jay ' the Hamer in, Strat-
ford No reason other than despond-
ency, to, which she was subject, can
be ascertained :far the girl's rash act.
Mr and Mrs. Millson, were working
in the creamery at the time, while
John Wright, an employe of the farm
was in the cellar. The latter ,heard
Miss Clark's cry and .rushing upstairs
found her in a: spasm. He at Once
telephoned for a doctor and called Mr
and Mrs. Willson,• to whom the gill
admitted that she had taken the stry-
chnine which Mr. Mason -hadbought
the night previous to kill rats in. the
cellar. Mrs'. Millson at once adminis-
tered emetics, but the girl died be-
fore the doctor arrived. Coroner Dr.
Lang Sr., of Granton, was called, but
after hearing the story, decided .that
an inquest was unnecessary. The
was held Moruday at Granton.

last; meeting ,were read and approved.
The Court' of .Bevis:on of the Ass-
essment Roll, will be held in the
Township Hrall.. Saturday, June '2nd,
a. 2 o'clock.
As there is a deficiency of about.
$250.00 standing against the 'Man-
ville Drain `account, it was decided.
to pay it off by levying a pro -rata
assessment against lands and roads
assessed for the construction of the
saki work.. The principal reason for
doing Lb's': is the fact that the ass-
essments for construction do ` not
correspond with- the assessments for
maintainenae and money rased for
repairs could not fairly be used to
pay off the deficit for construction.
A :few small accounts were passed
and orders issued in payment.
