Last year was the apple year and it ;wr<LS expected that .this year the crop rw;ptild ;be small, but to not have a crop at all will be a ,ca- lamity, Poor old Lottie Tillotson, the fake returned missionary from Hawaii, who exploited many women's societies le Ontario ., is without a home, being alternately kicked over the American border, first by the Canadian and next by ` the American immigration auth brities. •It is to be. hoped the Can- adians win out. Passports have been received at the Local post coffic,e• for those be- tween the ages of 18 • and 45 years, who may have. occasion to cross over to the American side.

TAMAN'S PHONE 81a Gceai Values IN SUITINGS, O'COATINGS ETC., ETC. The publication of the Pembroke Post ceased last svtet ick The Poet clung to the o d .rate of $1.00 per year which; owing to the present cost of ink, paper, etc., makes the existence of a newspaper impossible. The soldiers,' pension list is being revised at Ottawta, It is hoped when revision ; is complete that there is less difference hetuteen the 'officer and the private, and that the pensions for privates are largely - inciieased. The • treatment to retwrneel wounded soldiers should be generous enough to afford them a livlihood, and the tays=at-homes should pay for it. In our opinion that is the way 'to treat the returned soldier problem. The Travellers' Insurance Company has issued broadcast a printed "Warn- ing to Autamobilists," which says in brief : - "Don't run your engine in the _garage with the doors and windows closed. It is death to do This. Ex haust gases from 'gasoline engines con- tain carbon -monoxide in dangerous nuantity;. One-fifth of ane per cent 11 r carbon-monoth�e air will xide isnpo- duce fatal results." Not one person in ane hundred knows the danger; Spread this warning for the saving of human life..

Combe, recent cominaniler of the 161st Battalion, saying that the Col. was not returning to 'Canada, but would accept a staff appointment in England. A copy of the letter from. the Brigade Commander to the Col. relieving him of his command was also published, and the only reason for the change was that younger men could adapt themselves better to the, varying conditions on the firing line. Col. Combe was highly complimented on the efficiency of his battalion. Pte. Geo. Snaith of Stephen, bro- ther of Mrs, Bruce Mitchell of Fair- field, has been ,promoted to Corporal in has Battalion, and has been given the. Distinguishe,d Conduct Medal for a brave deed: Corp.
